For Sugar.

WASHINGTON, December 1.-The
change of attitude of the Repu lican
leaders in Congress on the sugar tariff
has caused intense excitment throughout
the Southwest. Everywhere in Lous.
lana, meetings are being held to discuss
the subject and to devise ways and
means to avoid the danger. The plan
ters and refners are unreservedly opposed
to a renewed of the Hawaiian Treaty,
and the Democracy is uniting in oppo-
sition to the Cleveland Manning policy.
Great excitement and dependency pre-
vail, and real estate values in the sugar
regions have deprecated from 25 to so
per cent. The sugar men will make o
bitter fght-a fight for their very
existence.

THE BOTANICAL GARDEN.
Good Land Generously Offered
for it's Establishment.


The article in the HERALD OF Wednes-
day in favor of botanical garden has
met with generous response from the
people. Shrubs, trees, flowers and plants
have been promised in abundance, and
land and water for a garden. DR.. Briggs
OF Crescenta Canada, is first in the
field with an offer of ten acres of land
near the center Of the settlement, below
Michigan avenue, out of the fog, wind
and frost, where a thousand kinds of
shrubs, trees, plants aud flowers of
great value in medicine, in the arts and
sciences, will be grown to perfec ton.
This proposition of DR.. Briggs is a gen.
erous contribution of value to-day of
$1,000, and shows that he appreciates
the importance of the undertaking.
Judge Widney on his return from
Hesperia heard of the project and states
that the San Fernando Land and Water
Company will donate tract of ten acres
if the society will locate on the lands of
that company. Both places would
be admirable for such purpose. They
possess the necessary soil, climate and
elevation for the production of the
choicest and most important plants and
trees in the world.
California is now paying tribute of
1000 per cent. on the product of plants
and trees used in materia medica, all of
which could be grown here and manu-.
factured by pharmaceutists in this city,
instead of obtaining them as now from
Paris. London, New York and Phla.
delphia.
No single individual can we'll give at
tention to such garden, but q company
could do it wisely and we'll. The State
and National governments are always
ready to furnish all necessary assistance.
All the valuable trees of Asia
and Oceanica used for medicines.
ornaments or varnishes could be OBJ.
tanned by consular agents. All trees,
plants and roots used for dyes could be
obtained from all parts of the world in
the same way. Los Angeles county is
the place TO domesticats these valuable
products of the earth, and it is quite
time that the people knew what plants
and trees would flourish here and what
will flourish better elsewhere.
Such q project will be started some
time, why not do it now? The land
should be selected and plowed and har.
rowed about three times this winter, and
a hedge row planted around about it. A
meeting should be called at an early day
and steps taken to carry out the scheme
of great semi.tropical botanical garden
that would prove blessing to the No.
tion in furnishing seeds, cuttings,
plants, trees, flowers and invaluable in.

most of the glorious land that we pos.

Messrs. Scott Morrill, and Dewitt
Bronson, state agents for bronson IS
Farm Ledger and Business Forms
called at this Office and left copy of
the above book for examination. We
noticed on the front page the follow
ing introduction: I'm presenting the
Farm Ledger to agriculturists, we feel
confident that the system will be ap-
proved and appreciated; it is concise,
thorough and practical.
A correct account, showing the
profits and losses contributes largely to
the success OF the farm. as we'll as any
other business. In this work a separ-
ate account is kept of every farm
product, showing the gain or loss, and
which is the most profitable crop, as
well as what branch Of the business;
stock, grain or dairy pays the best.
The memoranda with each account
answers for day book. The breeding
account, while not essential, will be
useful as record in after years. An
inventory Of real and personal proper
ty, and summing up Or recapitula-
ton of accounts, showing the total
amount received from farm produce of
all kinds, the cost of producing the
same, amount due and UNPAID amount
of Indebtedness Of the farmer, general
expenditures, amount received from
other sources and balance on hand, is
made January 1st each year.
The work is so arranged that a
record can be kept Of each years bus
mess for four years. The owner will
derive greater satisfaction in keeping
the accounts. and as a guide and
record it will grow more valuable to
him with each succeeding year. The
great difficulty in modern farming is
that the farmer does not keep posted
as to the details Of his own business,
the receipts. and expenditures. the
expense account for his farm, the
amount Of wages paid out each year,
and the rate, the cost Of maintaining
his family, and the thousand and one
items that are necessary to be known
and referred to from time to time in
order to make farming pay, The farm
ledger supplies this need, as a glance
at it's contents will show
This book is valuable work fol-
farmers and we hope the agents may
leave many in this vicinity.
