Cal.: Judge Ueb of San Jos, wbo has nude special study of the walnut In every condition for several years, ha obtained samples and definite partlcu , lore from tunny American ami freigu glowers, and with a careful personal ini peciion of the best orchards of thU list, has, after the most sersiw tuts, couriuded that for growing In northern and central California, but two varieties nerd be considered, the Franqueite a id the Santa Rosa. Take point by point. In comparison wlih all libera now known, they appear to stand at the head for general culture here. The Franqueite Is an oid, French walnut, grown inity by grafting. The Santa Rosa o far haa been grown mostly as seedlings, and even grown In this way has ptoved to lie all that could he desired In early ripening, early bearing, pro auctlvenews and quality; but among these seedlings nr found some trees which are moat remarkably early ana constantly productive of astounding (tops of nuts of most perfect form, cc.loi and quality. Rome of the best of there will, in my opinion, supplant e the Franqueite, for though the bloom later than the Santa lioaa, and produces a fair crop each ra'jn, almost without fall, but rarely a full one, in a series of years the Santa Rosa generally will outyleld it two to one, besides being harvested with much less cap, ami expense, r:'ining, as they do. I wo to four weeks writer when the air la clear and the ground dry. The greatest fault of the Santa Row la their tendency to start enrly In the spring. The greatest fault with the Franquettea, for growing In this part if the state, la their late riwnlng, causing much care and In harvesting and curing. The good appearance and quality of th nuts are all that ran be desired, : t:gb the Rants Rosas generally have a whiter shell and the hunk does not require removal by the hand, a In the rase with a large part of the crop of Frauquette. To those who have had experience In this kind of work on a rainy day nothing more need he said. The Kranquette seems welt ads pled to som of the larger Interior of orange and liiut vineyards. - e well-know- n Fran-qiiftt- e al-tl- yalieys. In all rases the best results will lie obtained by grafting on our native California walnut or some of It h; bride. No one In rsntral or northern California who grows Royal walnuts on their own roots need expect to be able to oompete with those who glow them on ihe native black walnut routs. . For when grown In these mots the trees will uniformly be larger and longer lived, and will hatrily be affected by blight and other , and do and will bear front two to four time a many nuts, which villi be of lurger slxe snd of much lie ter quality. Thse are facta, not theories, and walnut growers should take herd. "Although not popular among nurserymen. yet the best way to produce a paring orchard of walnuts Is to plent the nuts from some vigorous black walnut trees, three nr four In each place where the tree is to stand. At the end of Ihe first summer remora all but the strongest grower, cultlratt the ground well: any hned crop may be grown among them. 11 the treea grow as they will for from three to aix years, until tliey hare formed their own natural, rigorous system of roots, then graft In the best variety extant which thrive In your locality, and If on deep, land you will at once have a grove of walnuts which will pur at present, or even very lower very much prim, a moot princely interest on your investment "By gratflng In the nursery, or before the native tret' has had time to produce Its own st stein of roots by Its ow n rapid growing, leafy top. you bare gained little or nothing over planting tree on their own roots, for the foliage uf any tree governs the slxe, extent and form of the root system; take heed, aa these are facts, not fancies, nnd are not to be neglected If you would have a walnut grove on a safe JiM-ase- foundation." Mr. Burbank is considered to be very go si authority on this subject, I have therefore taken the liberty of quoting from this paper. Some Utah Tress. I have found walnuts growing In various paris of the state, both bliick and English, Mil little attention has been paid to them. Much of the information I have gathered in regard to this matter was very encouraging. For Instance In The orchard of John Graf Clara. Washington county. of Ran found several walnut tress, Utah, one In particular 'had made good feet high. I grow: It. being 23 to heard that them- trees had grown from nut planted 13 years ago. The largest tree hail been hearing aevcral years. In Ifni about 3o pound were produced and In H3 from o to I0u pounds: In l!nfi more than pound ware gathered. The smaller trees had nome good nuts nil, hut the quantity was not in proportion to the larger tree. The nuts from tlic l.irger tree were excellent. I cured wome .in pounds which will he found on exhibition at the board's exhibit In the chamber of commerce. Palt Lake Ct:y. Mr. Graf said further that he sold his walnuts at 1C cents per pound, and that or,e tree brought hint at least 20 dollar, for the crop of IPOS. He Is very on ihe walnut question, saving that he would rather hae K1' ik-clike Ti!k larger trees than a hun 1 FTAII. MONDAY, APRIL OGDEN, dred good cows. I found the same t ,itng In Toquernlie, K ashington county. Here I saw a black walnut tree about fully 40 feet btgb nd I alto found two feet in diameter. tree of the Eweieh variety raised from seed, about 10 year old. at La Verkin, Washington county. These were bearing anme nuts alto. In traveling through Hillard county the paat season with Secretary Taylor, we were much impressed with the opportunities for walnut culture in that oounty. At Fillmore we sa some very thrifty good looking tree, aud noticed several black walnut shade trees on the street1 loaded with nuts. At Leht and many other places in the rate these nuts have been successfully raised. In reviewing this question I sin satisfied that being aUe to graft the Royal wainut on the native black, will be a great factor in the success of this business, for the black walnut grows well in almost every part of the taie. I ant satisfied also that persons Interested In this lute of work will do well to give this matter careful consideration, and If oulv a few treea ar planted on suitable feud will, in time to come, be profitable and ornamental. In regard to the almond I would not recommend extensive planting: they bloom very early In the season and are not a safe crop. A few trees planted in a warm nook comparatively safe from frosts would be nice for family use, but I would nt suggest anything more. The following rarities are good: I. X. L. or Ne Flu Ultra.

You must not go by your Initial impressions, which will probably be unfavorable. London, at ihe first view. Is apt to be disappointing.

They will tell you that London la ugly, and that la certainly true of a great deal of It ; there are whole square miles of uaked squalor or unredeemed meanness. But there le a beauty of its own about some parts of tha metropolis, a beauty unique and distinctive, which canuot be found elsewhere. There la no talking, strolling, meeting and greeting.

Dowle had a fear of fitsh air afid exercise, and yat he inaiateil upon overeating. Whan he came to thia city In 1888 he did not have the protuberant abdomen that waa later a marked feature of lila anatomy. At that early period of his activity Dowle preached against Intoxicants, drugs, sloth, tobacco and gluttony,, especially 'against the last vice. Women," he would cry In his sermons, dont slave over the stove all day to get up a hfg Sunday dinner and let your husbands make awlne of themselves. Hut he probably took all this hack when lie began to accumulate riches. He waa ao laiy, said thia follower of Dawie's, that he often asserted that henerer handled anything heavier than a pen. He eould nut even hold a magazine In hla hand while reading It, but .would place It uu a rest He would not walk to hla office, though It waa but a block or two from hia house. Hla paralysis waa no doubt the direct result of his Inactivity and devotion to the pleasures of eating. He was something of a crank on bathing, however, and In hla official residence In Zion (Tty, called Shiloh House, there was bathroom on every floor with a large tub. alts and shower In each room. There were facilities In the house for twenty persons to bathe at the same time. Probably the reason it Dowle dldllked fresh air waa that he originally came from Austria and there waa a big difference between the aeniltroplcal climate of that section of the glolie and San Francisco and Chicago with their heavy winds. He waa once conducting a meeting In. a crowded hall, and hla wife asked hltn to have some of the windows opened, aa she rould not stand the lack of ventilation. But Dowle, jtfrald of draughts, refused her request. Until bis wife fainted outright he Insisted upon keeping all the air outlets closed. In Shiloh House none of the winwould open, for the master Insisted upon haring them tightly fastened, and eien ihe bathrooms hail no ventilation. One of the Chicago tradesmen who furnished supplies for Zion City ssid that the whole company of Dowle followers ate the most expensive delicacies, and that Dowle himself had a private kitchen and pantry with a maid In attendance to serve him with luncheon at ahort notice at iiny time he felt hungry. On one day Ifowie la said to have enjoyed three quarts of eggnog all by himself. He drank only noualrohnllc beverage, except Jhe Swiss wine of which he whs so fond, hut It Is believed that he did not know that there was any alcohol in the wine.
