SPECIAL mENTIOa-PETALUHA INCu-
RATOK.

During Fair week the Petaluma Incubator, man
ufactured by l. L. Dias. of Petaluna, made one Of
the best di plays that could be In the Pavilion
Mr. Dias had five machines iu the main hall, besides
the one that was locked up, competing for the gold
medal Nearly 2. coo chickens we're hatched during
the week. and the process Of Matching was go plainly
visible that it needed no explanation Mr. Dias also
had several brooders or "mothers," TO which the
chickens are transferred from the incubator. The
elegant display made, and to many the novelty Ct
the machine made the exhibit very attractive one.
The Petaluma Incubator, unlike many others, and
to meet the popular demand, is manufactured in all
Sizes from capacity of 80 eggs to one Of $50 eggs.
To any one who critically examined the two ma
chimes that were in competition for the Socety'a
gold medal, It would be almost unnecessary to say
that the Petauma won the prize, but how easily Is
not generally known, and therefore the following
report of the committee Is appended; We, the
undersigned, Committee on Incubators, have ex-
smined the same with reference to the percentage
Of hateh and report as follows: Out Of 1s7 egg'
placed IN each machine, ths Petaluma Incubator

HOPS.
Picking Nearly completed-The Crop-The
Market Eera and ElsaEhera


The hop crop Of this season is nearly all picked.
The yield will be up to 1900 bales, the number es-
tinatsd some time ago. About 1900 bales Of the
new crop have been used to fill contrscts, some of
which were made last season at good figure There
are no sales being made az growers will not accert
the prices offered by dealers The price offered is
from 10 to Is cents per pound. Ten thousand bales
remain unsold, and there seems to be dets ruina-
ton on the part Of growers not to sell the
for less than 20 cents. The tare of pounds to the
bale has been generally accepted by growers and
transfers hereafter will be made with the tare de-
Quoted. The hop crop OF the coast for this season
Is estimated at 42 900 bales, while last year there
were but 25 900 bales produced the coast and of
these California produced about H. 900 b.les over
one-hslf CT them having been raised in the Sacra-
mento district. There are no more old hops
held in Sacramento, excepting what are
in consumers' hands. OF the entire~erop OF last
year there not 300 bales held by growers or
dealers, and these principally by one San Francisco
firm. Pacific Coast hops OF 1882 are quoted in the
New York market at 25 cents. New Pacific Coast
hops had not reached that market at last reports
The highest price paid for hops this coast last
year was in November, when 81 OH net per pound
paid for few lots. The following average Weld
per acre on the Pacific Coast in 1882 is taken from
circular recently issued by Phil Neis s. Co. of San
Francisco: Caifornia-Sacramento, right bank Of
American river, 300 fhs Sacramento left bank of
American river, 2,l00 tbs. Sacramento river 2l0o
bs.; Yolo county, 2,200 tbs Mendocino and So
noma counties, l,S00 his Alameda county, 1000
MS. Oregon, 1000 lbs; Washington Territory,
2,2o0 lbs.
The following extracts are from the annual hop
circular. issued September 1st, by ". Il. & II. L.
May, Of london, England:
" After thorough and personal examination Of
the hop gardens in England, we of opinion thst
the crop will turn out rather than an average
one with regard to weight, and that the quality,
with few exceptions with favorable weather from
this date) will be exceptionally good"
1.-THE American yield will not be more than three
fourths OF last year per acre, but their increased
acreage will bring their total weight Of production
quite up to last year ; at the present moment they
have 1000 bales Of the 1882 crop still unsold but
with their greatly increasing consumption it is
expected that If they export largely in the beginning
they will have to buy on our market again before
| the 1884 crop can be handled"
"Tne continental crop will be nearly equal to that
OF last year Germany will produce about One-ffth
! less but Belgium and Holland will grow very large
crops. The consumption OF hops all over the conti-
nent is greatly increasing every year. and the Ger.
man brewers are compelled TO use hops anu malt
only. Germany will not have many hops to spare
Belgium and Holland viii most likely send Us 20 600
| bales.

hbtor is sure to be dissatisfied. 1t is the duty Of
every citizen to aid in making the annual fair sue

in the hope that they will be Kindly received and
carefully considered Tirst, select careful entry
clerks and require them to acquaint themselves so

TIE KAIsER's QUESTIONS.

The Kaiser would go to the Orphanage,
Upon Il summer day;
And the children braided their flaXen hair
And tied it with ribbons gay.
They tied it with ribbons pink and blue,
And each wore her dress of white,
And the Kaiser said he thought no man
Could see u lovelier sight.
Then he took his plumed hat off his head,
And they courtesied to him low.
He said: "God bless you, children dear,
And make you in wisdom grow"
He called to his side a blue-eyed girl
(She was fair as q child could be),
And he said: "Stand here. thou little one,
And answer me questions three.
''This lily, so fair and white and sweet,
To what kingdom does it belOng?"
ITO the vegetable kingdom, Sire;"
And her voice was like q song.
And this little toy of purest gold?"
Ole showed her a mimic lyre)
AND she looked up with a smile, and said:
T. the mineral kingdom, Sire"
"Now tell me, my clever little maid,
To what kingdom do l belOng?"
She thought of lions, of cows, and sheep,
The animal, sure is wrong
She looked ut his kingly air and dress
.(She was but a child of %eleven),
And said, with a still and solemn air:
II the Kingdom of Hedrcn."
The Kaiserlooked down, and then looked up,
And his eye were full of tears.
''The wisdom of Heaven dwells." he said,
In the child OF tender years"
He felt as it by an angel taught,
And his oul to its depth was stirred;
So he left a royal largess there,
For the little damsel's word.
