WILLAMETTE FARMER k3 Ho7icdujiliE. Fruit Culture. From the Picirtc Hcbaj, Parse. The following ossay upon this lubjeot w reed be (ore Nape Orango, No. , V. of II at Nina City, Jan. 34, 1814, by Mr. Win. II. Naah. Itwae written by him tt the request of the Online, nil tho reading win received with each hearty admiration that the think! of tho Oranje were voted to Mr. Null, and a resolution passed thattheesssy bo publlihej lu the local papers and In the Factrio IIcral Fuels.) Having for many yoars dovolod much attention to this particular branch of cul tnre, and fooling doonly intorosteil in its success, I hftvo prepared tho following essay, in tho hope to supply at least in part tho popular uood of ilelluito informa tion on tho subjoct. The subject of this essay is ono in which almost all classes of community nro inter ested, and moro or loss practically ongag ed. Indeed it is tho destro of ovory inau, whatovor may bo his pursuit or condition in, life, whether ho llvo in town or coun try, to enjoy fino fruits, to provido them for his family, and if possible, to oultivato them in his own gardon, with his own hands. Fortunatoly, tho soil and ollmato of California aro so farorablo to tho pro duction of fruit, that farmors, if thoy do not already, must ovontfully beoomo a community of fruit growers, Peoples aro but just beginning to loam tho ues of fruit, and to approciato its val ue. Tho rapid increase of population alono croates a domand to an oxtont that few pooplo aro awaro of. Tim city of San Franoisco has added 100,000 to nor numbors in ton yoars; and seo what an aggregate annual amount of now consumors it nrosonts. Aftor twontr yoars' oxporionco in fruit growing in Cali fornia, wo think it will bo excusable in ns if wo prosumo to offer to tho farnior a few suggestions rolativo to tho soil and olimato best adapted to tho growing of fruit, as woll as somo suggestions as to tho propor season and niannor of planting tho troes. In our California climato our winters aro so mild that it will do to plaat at auy timo from tho commencement of tho first rains till tho first of March. It has now becomo a woll known fact that many variotios of fruit, whon planted near enough to tho coast to bo oxposod to tho winds from tho ocoan, aro almost total failures; but whou this causo of dofoot is romovod by plant ing thoso samo variotios in tho orchard lauds of tho interior, thoy becomo not only thrifty and produativo, but tho fruit is un surpassed in sizo and flavor. All troos should bo solocto J with roforonoo to tho olimato and soil whom thoy aro to bo plan ted. Tho poar troo in California is much moro hardy than tho applo troo. and will grow nud produco good fruit in almost auy lo cality, but succeeds bost in a doop, rich and modoratoly dry soil. Tho poach troo succeods bost whoro tho climato during tho summormonths is warm ranglug from GO to OOdegroos, and tho soil riah, moist and looso. In a cool placo, this fruit) is often of an inforior quality, juioy, but insipid. Tho plum troo should havo a rioh moist soil, and whon plantod in poor land, ma nure should be used unsparingly. Tho chorry may bo grown to tho highest Btato of porfoction whon tho land is doop, rich, sandy loam, tho wator at no timo standing noaror than eight foot of tho sur faco of tho ground, and whoro tho torn peraturo during tho summor months rang es from 40 to 80 degrees. On Mahnlob stocks, tho ohorry can bo grown quite suc cessfully whoro tho soil is much moro wot and heavy. Tho quince, valuablo for prosorvos and jolly, can bo grown on modoratoly low and wet land, and will produco enormous crops. Wo havo boon oxporiraonting with two varietios of tho almond for a tow years, and thoy havo fruitod to somo extent. Liko tho applo, it succoods bost whon out of roaoh of tho coast winds, but cannot stand tho boat nor tho lato frosts of some of tho interior valleys. Wo know of no bottor rooommoudation thau to say that, as a gonoral rulo, whoro tablo grapos can bo grown tho almond will flourish. Tho grapo may bo said to do woll iu al most auy location in California that is out of tho damp winds and fogs that prevail along tho coast; oven in somo sholtorcd locations very noar tho coast thoy may bo grown quito successfully, but not of tho best quality for wino. Tho curraut is ono of tho most valuablo of all tho small fruits, and is being nsod extensively for jolly as woll as for table fruit and pics. Liko tho chorry, it should havo a cool summer climato, and a looso, rich soil. The goosoborrv should havo a warm ntul modoratoly dry soil, with plenty of manuro and good cultivation. If grown in cold, damp places tho fruit will be sub joct to blight and mildow. Tho Hawton's seedling, however, may bo grown in al most any location. Tho blackberry should havo a warm, moist soil to succeed woll. Preparation of the soil: Plow tho ground al least twice, and as deep as possible; tho subsoil plow may bo used to a groat ad vantage, and when the ground is hard, its uto sJiould not be omitted. Pruning tho trees at tho time of trans planting should be carefully attended to, 'i'lio ends of tho roots, that always aro more or loss bruised in digging, should bo cut off with a sharp knife, and tho branches should all be cut back to a bud within two to four inohes of the main stem , leaving Uiom in a proper shape for tho formation of tho top, 3 Wo will giro our method of plant ing and think it will do to 'work by as a general rule. Dig the holes circling, three feet in diameter and two feet in depth; tho rich soil of tho surface shonld bo thrown out on one sido, tho balance on tho other side of tho hole. In rotllling tho hole throw in tho surface dirt first, which will leave the richest part of tho soil whero the tree will receive tho most benefit from it; fill up the holo a proper depth to receive the treo without bending the roots, keeping it about the samo depth that it stood in the nursery. Fill in about the roots with loose dirt until the ground about the tree is level; then the planting is done. From tho time of planting, the ground should be kept woll tilled and free from grass and weedsi A crop of carrots, boots or boans may bo grown between tho troes, but should not bo planted neafor than four foot to tho trees, until aftor these have grown at loast ono yoarpOr oarrants and goosoborrics may bo plantod betwoon tho trcos in tho samo manner, and may bo allowed to grow until tho troos aro ten or twolvo years old.

Tho proper way is to apply a sufllciont top drossiug, broadcast botwocn tho rows; this should bo woll plowed in whoro it can reach tho extremity of tho roots. Thoro aro niauy rich soils whoro manuring is unnecessary. Mulching should bo practiced in vory dry soiIh and only with nowly plantod trees. Would recommend sand to bo thrown around tho trcos to tho dopth of throo or four inches and about Bix foot iu dUmotor. It should bo appliod early iu May. In protecting troes from tho heat of tho suu in summor, it is only necessary to protect tho trunk; this may bo dono by means of two boards sot togothor forming an anglo; this is plaeed on tho south-wost sido of tho troo. Orango Culture at Riverside. From tho Pacinc Ui-iul l'ntn.J Editors PnEbs: Thoro aro many persons in California this wiuter, looking for homes here, ami thoro aro many thousands inoro yet In I ho Atluntio States, looking with longing ryes towards (his our boautiful laud, ntul praying (bat tho tltuo may coino whou thoy may bo cnnbeil to rcaoh it. Whllo every put of this Btato hns its attrac tions, Bomo for ono thing, and soma for auotlier, tliure aro nono that can compare with Suu liernitnllno nud Los Angeles counties for tho production of tho semi-tropical fruits. Los AnRoles has never laokod for touguo to slue her praise, until sho is known everywhere ah too borne of tho ornuRo; whllo Ban Dariiar dino, her equal lu overythiug, nud her superior lu many, is but little known outside of her owu limits. Iu viow of tbeao facts, I have been induced to pin theito hues, though moro used to the priiuing shears than thu pen. There is a plain of tablo, or moss laud, on tho southenst sido of tho Santa Ana river, com mencing six tuilo below tho town of Sau llorunrdiuo and extending down thu river about twonty miles, and from one hundred to ono hundred and fifty feet above tho river, sloping gently back to the foothills from two to eight uillos distant. About twenty-eight thousand acres of this plain can be irrigated from tho Santa Ana river. Upon this plain ii tho town of Riverside, started by tho Southern California Colony As sociation, ttireo years ago, aud it now contains about throo hundred Inhabitants, who aro sup plied with water from a ditch constructed by the company. Tho dltoh supplies water for domestio and irrigating purposes to over three thousand acres of laud, onu-half of which is now settled upon. Tho remainder is offered to tho public at from $25 to $10 per aero. Water Is supplied at prices barely sufficient to cover cost ol running the ditch. Tho soil is red clay, slightly mixed with sand, aud Is known throughout the SUto as thu bust for all kiuds of fruit. The oraugo is uo excepliou to this rulo, as has been proven at old San Bernardino, whero they produce tho largest aud finest oranges lu tho State, entirely free from black mould, scab, or louse, so com mon at Los Angeles. Tho climato at llivcrsido Is unsurpassed: iu fact it Is as pleasant hero in December as May. Tho company have in contemplation another ditch, tho water right for which is now secured aud will bo constructed as soon as uieJed, aud whon done will supply water to twenty thousand acres of land, mure than can now be irrigated. It is tho object of this article to show tho beauty, cost of productiou and profits of orango culture: First, thero can bo uo more beautiful place on this earth to live thau in tho midst of an orange grove. Second, tho coot of production. Prices of trees are as follows: Two-year old, per 100, $'25; threo-ycar, $00; four-year, $150; five-year, $300; six year, per 100, $C00. Two-year old trees aro tho most profitable, for tho money invested; of course older oues will como into bearing sooner. Orange trees bear at eight year from tho seed. Lot us take ono aero of laud at Illverslde, and calculate the oost up to bearing condition. Tho best land, $10; one hundred and siity two-years trees ns this is tho number per acre wo plant $10 ; fencing. say $20 ; and $25 er year for cultivation mid water for irrigation from time of planting up lo bearing, six yoars, $150 ; making a total of $250 er acre. The first crop will yield about two dollars per tree, nud increase each year un til twenty-five years old. At twelve years from seed, Mr. Hose, of Los Angeles, sold this year $30 worth per treo; now, what is an acre of bearing orange trees worth ? Let those who are accumtomed to make from $5 to $10 per acre, answer. If people in the Altantic States could realize the beauties of this climate, and the money which can be made here, this place could be filled to overflowing in two years. We have already ruuDy thousands of trees and vines planted here, and many thousands more In nursery, and in a few years will havo a little paradise of our own. P. S. Kcsull. January 27th, 1B74. About Grape Cuttings. Edito&s Patss: I have scanned the columns of the last two numbers of the UrKib Pbich, but get no word of advice about varieties of grapes best for raisins, best early and late grapes for market, selection and preparation of cuttings, f. t.; one cutting from each shoot or as many as the shoot will make of suitable lengths? Should the cuttings be put Immedi ately into the vineyardrov, or buried orheelled in for a time? If you have heretofore treated these subjects iu the Hciul Piums, don't for heaven's sake refer me to some back volume or number, as is the habit of Pro. Judd, of tho Aoxrican AgricuiiurUt. Hundred! of new sub scribers will be interested iu the answers, and hundreds of old subscribers who read without iutereat and destroyed their papers, are now ready to put out viues aud "wautto know, you know." Also,' the best distance apart and what road are necessary? For raisins and the table, ii any manure advantageous ou a light, gravelly soil? -It nny, what kind? Where shall I scud my llcniL Piiess to get bound? Now we do not find the least fault with our correspondent for desiring us not to refer to samo back number of the lltjiut, for an answer to his queries; but still wo must uso a kind of discretlou iu the matter, or, iu comes n letter from a correspondent, complaining that tho ItcniL is being filled up with matter It con tained a year or more ngo, aud asking us whether wo Intend to mako it a moro reprint. However, wo will vonturo to auswer our cor respondent somewhat. Iu our last number wo gave tho names of thoso grapes, which a well know ii connoisseur iu raisin aud wiue making, esteems as tho best; nud wo rely upon his indgtnent until some ono proposes otfier aud letter varieties. Cuttings should bo shott jointed; If you can got two or threo of this character from a single shoot, all right. The grouud being iu proptr order, set the cuttings whero they aro to stand in the vineyard. They should bo sot eight feet nptrt each way, if of tho rauk growing varieties; nud whether they iiroor not, enquire of tho prowcr of whom you obtain your cuttings. If of less luxuriant growth naturally, they can bo set eight by six feet very properly. Vlueyarillsts differ In ro gard to tho frequency of wider spaces between certain rows, as roads admitting carts for col lecting tho grapes. Perhaps wo should havo given a reason for preferring short cuttings; it is this: Tho young roots start out moro plentifully iiumedlaloly nbovo and below tho joints, and not ns much ho midway between the joints; houoo thu moro joints uuder grouud tho moro roots. Send either to liartllng ,t Kimball or A. lluswell, book binders, Sau Francisco, or to us, nud you can get two volumes (one year) lu ono book, lu good binding for $2.i0.

EniTOits IIuiial Piiesh: I thought after reading Mary Mountain's farm houso chat in ono of tho Docambor numbers that I would sond in my mito, iu tho shapo of n graham bread rocipo, but various duties, havo delayed my writing until tho present timo. Tho most of tho graham bread rooipoa sav uso a portion of lino flour. Now it does not soetn to mo that it can bo gouuino graham, whon mado up with part fino flour. I think that sifting tho graham through a courso siovo is inuah bottor. My way is to sift a common milk pan about half full of graham flour, put ting into it it small cup of hop yeast, half a cup of syrup, a spoonful of salt, then enough warm water to mako a soft spougo, not so soft as to bo sticky, but so it will mould out nicely; aftor kucadiug it thor oughly, loavo it in a warm placo ovor night, in tho morning knead it ovor aguin, put it in pans to riso samo fino flour; it nlways makos nioo rolls for breakfast.
