by the first fruit shipments of the season. and that %

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good AgriculturatLand for $1o
to $40 per Acre.


The Pacific Improvement Company has rel
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land IN the heart of Tehama County, for ths
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and Is offered at
from $40 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, so, 40, 100 and $40 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin tie payment OF
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is 20 have five years in which to
pay five equal annual instalments, with in-
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land OF fair average quality ut $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to corre~
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
$100 an acre. An examination of the land
SUBJECT OF LnlS advertisement Will prove 10
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers a result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase OF this
body of tand was the breaking up Of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion

SHORT CHAPTER on POTATOES.

Sir Walter Raleigh lost his head for al
legged treason, but whatever may have been
his sins against James l., he has proved
bencfactor to the race by his introduction
of the potato into the civilized world.
What however. is the potato without
cooks2 i dull, sodden. waxy. abominable
tuber that disgusts the epicTe and provokeS
Indigestion With cooks it is light. dry,
mealy and delightful The methods of
cookidg given for this nutritious vegetable
are as many as prescriptions for curing
colds and about as valuable, yet in the face
of this, one more lesson is now added to the
number that have preceded.
There is kitchen chemistry, and if it were
better understood there would be better
food, less grumbling and little, if any, dys-
pepsia. Among farinaceous food the potato
holds. perhaps. the highest rank in being
composed almost entirely Of pure starch,
and the mealy potato that delights the eye
and pleases the palate. is the result of
chemical action. Once the heat Is in ex-
cess of the moisture the steam causes ex-
pansion and separation of tie granules,
if that be the proper word TO apply, takes
place leaving a mealy interior 1t is well
established fact that the boiling point of
water varies with the altitude. Now
student might, by a course Of reasoning,
arrive at method by which PIP degrees,
the boiling point, could be reached what
ever the density Of the atmosphere. On
mountain heights, notably in the Himalayan
Ill /
is not hot enough to cook potatoes, fact
that surprises all cooks, who think boiling
water Is always of the same temperature.
Could the pressure in high attitudes be
increased by greater heat this feat would
be possible
The cook who throws handful of salt
into the potato pot, and thereby creates
necessity for q greater degree of neat to
make the water boil, following this up by
putting close-fitting top on the vessel, has
acted upon scientific principles, and will
soon have the boiling point at 2l6 degrees.
SO much for science; now little for ex-
perience. When the skin bursts, as it will
do, if the water it poured off, the lid par
italy removed and slow heat kept under
the pot for fifteen minutes until the pota-
toes are thoroughly dried, the result will be
eminently satisfactory. Boiled in their
skins with plenty of salt and well dried,
potatoes are delightful TO the taste and
agreeable to the stomach. Any other pro-
cess makes them failure, and demonstrates
that the cook in that kitchen has not the in
telligence in her art which is the result of
careful study, or of close observation
Blessed be the memory of Sir Walter the
gallant, the discoverer and the epicure, but
eNecration only for those who dishonor his
discovery by ignorance and stupidity in the
preparation Of this invaluable addition to
the list of foods.

The English white doesliu gloves are
