He died as he lived, alone. (T.S.R. 55. 2 P.M. 95. S.S. 78.)
July 18. Tuesday. Fruit is ripening fast and is abundant and cheap, so cheap that it does not pay expenses of raising. We have nice early apples ripe now - the White Astrachan - we weighed five of them and they weighed five and one-half pounds. We can get but six bits a box for them now after hauling Them to Stockton. Also we have apricots - some measuring 8 1/4 in, some 7 3/4 in, in diameter, and there is but little or no sale for them, because the market is glutted. People have but little money to spend for fruit now-a-days. Mr. Putnam hauled a load of nice apples to Stockton lately and could not sell them at all. We are wondering whether it would not pay us better to put a band of hogs in the orchard to eat the fruit, than to dry it. Have written to Boston children. (T.S.R. 58. 2 P.M. 100. S.S. 84.)
July 19. Wednesday. Howard is today thirty four years old. He lives- on what we call the "Faulkner place", is still foreman of the ranch, and
