Paper and its New Materials.

OF late years paper has come to be
used for everything from cigarette wrap
pers to window panes, from pals and
flower pots to pulleys, car wheels and
field hospitals. Yet it is entirely the
product of what has long been looked
upon as waste. Cotton stalks have al
ready been mentioned, but tobacco stalks
and the dry pulp of sugar cane, robbed
of all its saccharine matter, are scarcely
less valuable, while from the sawdust that
has heretofore been allowed to I'LL up low
swamps or float away upon rivers, good
sheeting for use in buildings can easily
be made, and much finer quality is the
result of mixing one-tourth waste paper
with three-fourths sawdust This refuse
lies in great quantities about all northern
sawmills. as much as 1900 tons having
accumulated in one place, and many lum-
bermen are likely in few years to find
considerable profit in what was worse
than worthless until now. From dry
sawdust, too, wood, alcohol, pyroligneous
acids, and bases for aniline dyes are now
secured. Paper equal to the best quality
of dipped English drawing paper can be
made from corn husks, which rot in un-
told quantities on Western prairles.

Too much stress cannot be laid upon the great ad-
vantage to the fuitgrower Of being in early locality
In most it makes the difference between success
and failure The industrious orchardist Of Capay Valley
may assured that he will derive all the benefits gained
by the first fruit shipments of the season. and that 20
acres of this rich land when the trees are in bearing will
yield handsome and assured income.
The Capay Valley Land Company has an agent re-
siding in the valley whose duty to show the various
tracts to land seekers.
-Four townsites have been laid in different points
IN the valley, viz: Esparto Cadenasso, Guinda and
Rumsey. Town lots may now be purchased at reason
able prices and on easy terms
The enterprsng and fourishng town of Esparto is
situated at the lower end of the valley and $I25 900
worth of substantial buildings have already been erected
blocks and waterworks with pipes laid in the streets
The town has postoffice school-house and weekly
paper, and the fine railroad depot contains telegraph
and express offices.
Postof1ces have also been established at Guinda and
Rumsey This latter place. situated the head of the
valley, is the present terminus of the railroad The
Portable little hotel makes excellent quarters for hunters
as well as land-seekers

ley may be thus concisely summed up:
soil of great fertility yielding bountifuly of every
crop
soil and climate which will pen all kinds Of fruit and
vegetables earlier than anywhere else in the State.
climate perfectly adapted the curing of rasns and
drying OF trn without the aid Of artificial evaporators

! on better terms than anywhere else in the State
