The Organization Entering Upon the
Fifth Year of Its Usefulness.
At the present time it has 500 mem
bers, constituting fair proportion Of
the active and public spirited business
men and property owners OF the section.
Here are a few achievements of the
chamber of commerce in The four years
now closing. To rightly estimate their
value ask yourself this question What
if they had gone undone?
Eight thousand letters of inquiry an
swered. Four hundred thousand pieces
of printed matter distributed, Callfol-
MIA on Wheels visited by million peo-
pie. Permanent exhibit in Chicago for
two years, which sent out thousands of
new settlers. The orange carnival in
Chicago, the moet magnificent piece of
advertising ever attempted in the state.
Helping to retain the army headquarters
in this city. Three citrus fairs
held in Los Angeles, bringing about
$4,000 into the city, each one success
financially. Assisting with three suc-
cessful agricultural faire. Founding the
Southern California Worlds Fair asso-
citation and the County Worlds Fair as
sociation, which are now hard at work
for the great exposition. Founding the
Southern California Bureau of Informa-
tion, union of the six southern coun-
ties, which has just issued the hand
soonest and most reliable book on
Southern California ever published.
Entertaining the National Editorial ss
sociation, as a. result of which over
1000 columns Of matter about Southern
California were published in 400 eastern
papers. Good work done for harbor
on the Pacific, which will undoubtedly
result in large appropriation. Pub
tribution, weekly reports of our weather
and crops through the winter. Main
tanning for three years permanent ex-
Southern California, visited by over
350,000 people, largely strangers. I'm
ceasing agitation in favor of such mat.
ters of public welfare as the Nicaragua
canal, the Salt Lake road, beet sugar
planting and manufacturing, extension
OF markets, more favorable freight end
passenger rates, improved legislation on
delinquent tax sales and county and
city expenditures. A thousand little
things which cannot be set forth in de-
tail but which constitute the
routine work of such an organization.
The chamber of commerce is entirely
out OF debt. Its monthly income pays
all running expenses, but leaves only a
narrow margin for outside work. 1t is
Incorporated, and, under its bylaws, no
debt is allowable; and no money can be
spent for anything else than running
expenses unless surplus should accu-
mulate.
The fairs OF the chamber are man
aged by board of directors of 20 busi-
ness men, who meet regularly at least
once in every week of the year, and de-
vote several hours OF their time, with
out compensation. to the work.

According to the report of the state
bank commissioners for the year 1892,
there are 10 building and loan associa-
tions in Los Angeles city. The COM
missioners classify these associations
into local, national, and unclassifed.
The locals, as rule, employ no agents,
and limit their business to their imme-
diate vicinity. The usual monthly pay
ment is 81 per share, and they take no
part of the monthly payments. On the
other hand, the nationals do the larger
part of their business through solicitors,
and seek business in other cities and
states. Their usual monthly payment
is go cents per share, and they take for
an expense fund from to 10 cents out
OF every 60 cents paid in. There are no
unclaseified associations here. The fol-
lowing figures are OF interest:

CORN FOR FORAGE.

Experiments Showing the Amount Of Dr.
Gestible Food Per Acre.
The value of Indian corn as forage
crop to the American farmer can scarce
~ be overestimated. Corn and clover
are the two sheet anchors of American
husbandry. A good corn crop will pro-
duce not less than two tons of actual
digestible food material per acre. or
more than twice as much as q heavy
hay crop. A very considerable proper
ton of this food is produced during the
later stages of growth. According to
the results of experiments at the Penn
sylvania Agricultural Experiment sta
ton, only about 4 of the total dry mat
ter of the crop has been produced up to
the time the ears begin to fill, while 2-5
Of it are produced after the kernels be-
gin to glaze. Experiments recently
completed, extending over two years,
indicate that there is no decrease in the
digestibility of this dry matter as the
plant natures, as is the case with most
other forage crops, but rather slight
increase, especially as regards the
starchy matter and the fat which makes
up the bulk of the corn plant. The &C.
tual yield Of digestible food per acre in
these experiments was as follows: Cut
when the ears are silking. 1878 lbs !;
when glazing, 1859 lbs; when mature.

POINTS ABOUT uRoNEs..

Members of the Bive.
think the drone bee is fully as
important as any other member of
the hive. Until the nineteenth century
their true value ana use were not UNI
derstood, for until that time some sup
posed that they laid all the eggs, and
some thought that each drone laid an
egg and ''set" on it and Matched it. But
at the advent of the frame hive these
absurdities soon disappeared, and it was
then that the true use of the drone was
discovered. As we have seen, the queen
must be fortified before she can Law
eggs which will produce workers. But
any queen will produce drones, as q
drone egg is never fertilized, and be
lieve it is generally conceded by au-
thorities that drones from an unfertil-
lied queen are as good as any. pure
Italian queen on her wedding tour may
meet a black drone. In this case all the
workers will be hybrids, t. g., half
bloods, but all the drones will be pure.
Thus you see how easy it will be to
have pure Italians if all your queens are
from pure mother and there no blacks
in your immediate neighborhood. At
the time of the year when the bees
wish drones the queen deposits eggs
! in drone cells (which are larger
than workers, but of the same shape).
They hatch in about three days
into minute Larvae which are cared
for and fed by the bees for about twelve
days, when they seal them up with a
large round cap and give them no
further attention for nine days, when
they come out and must be cared for
again, for they are entirely dependent
upon the workers for food during life,
as they have no proboscis to gather
honey with, and are so constituted that
they cannot feed themselves in any
way if they had plenty of food right at
hand. This has been proved in this
way: Inclose some drOnes in a single
wire-cloth basket so that the bees can
feed them through it; they will live for
two months or more. But inclose them
in a double basket with one-half inch
space between them, and give them u
frame of honey and pollen and they
will die in a day or two.
Drones are of no value but for one
purpose. viz: the fertilization of the
queen, but this one purpose is so inn
portant that it is very desirable to
have a good supply on hand when
needed. Let us see that this supply is
of.the very best quality obtainable, for
they certainly make great impression
on the progeny of the queens which they
fecundate. and if we wish to have bees
that will winter well, come out strong
and vigorous i'll the spring and show us
fine lot of choice honey we must pay
particular attention to the queens and
drones we breed from. - Joseph H
Place, in Ohio Farmer.

The load is then Immediately over the

the man on the wagon usually pulls
them back to the position shown at A,
or if they are not thus pulled back they
will come into position when the team is
started to draw up the next load. This
is a very cheap and easily constructed
device for stacking hay, and can be
used where hay is hauled on wagons
hay sleds or by any of the devices for
drawing in shocks. The length Of stack
which will be made at single setting
can be varied to suit the builder. Quite
a common method is to put up con-
venient length and simply move the
stacker on far enough to build another
section to the first and SO on, making a
long rick. This method also saves time
in moving as the poles do not have to
be taken down. being simply stepped
along to the new position. The guy
ropes must be quite long, varying some

Among the novel devices was the use
of the army grayback- Men would
gather around the campfire at night,
get q board, make a charcoal circle
upon it, heat it warm. and then all who
were in the game would catch one Of
the gray monsters and drop him in the
circle on the warm board The one
that crossed tie. circle first was the
winner. remember one poor fell
low who had lost all his person
al belongings, including his rations,
for the next day. He looked on during
the excitement of the race with the
anxious longing of the inveterate
gamester. Suddenly he seemed to get
a new idea and he watched the contest
with increased interest. Two days he
kept away from the race-track and the
boys wondered what had become Of
him. The third night he was on deck
and eager for the sport When the
time for scoring came he reached down
in his pocket, drew forth his wallet and
took therefrom lean and hungry army
louise. When the famine-stricken insect
touched the warm board he fairly few
across the surface and went under the
wire without whip or steel, winning
by several open lengths Two or three
more mile dashes resulted in the same
way, until there was general kick.
The boys said it wasn't fair to ring in
a trained grayback. 1t was pitting a
professional against amateurs and they
wouldn't stand it 1t broke up the
racing for that night. but resulted in
a bold def on the part of the owner of
the winning crawler to do up the whole
camp the following evening. And he
did it. He won everything movable in
the camp. 1t afterward developed that
he had discovered that the lean gray
backs made the best time. He caught
few choice specimens and starved
them into lightning speed by closing
them up in his pocketbook. Louis

''One of the most heroic acts of

during the late war occurred at Gettys-

private named George Boles, of COM

been ordered to advance upon the
rebels on Wolf Run. Our lines were
ordered out of our works and we adj
vanced on the enemy in three columns
deep, which had been sent to turn our
right.
THE distance to be travelled from our
works to the rebels was about two hun

and beyond this and in the edge
of the timber the enemy was sta

the order came to charge bayonets.
This was done at once. The distance
was so short that but little momentum
had been obtained when our lines were
met by their columns, the first column
lying down, the second kneeling and
the third standing. Our column was
met by this deadly fire, and general
engagement ensued, but with such odds
against us that we We're ordered to fall

picked up seven times. In this charge
our regiment had eighteen men killed
and forty-three wounded.
After our regiment had regained its

1t is to the republican party that the
friends of honest money of both politi
cal organizations look for the best work
in this crisis. In the house of repre-
sentatives of the Fifty-third congress
there will be 12S or 100 republicans ouS
of the $50 members of that body. This
number, of course, will be far from
majority of the whole house, but it will
constitute q powerful nucleus around
which the democratic friends of sound
currency can rally. On the devotion Of
these republicans to the cause of sound
money the people can rely with the
most implicit confidence. All the re-
publican congressman. it is true, are
not sound-money men, but it is safe to
say that not more than a dozen of them
at the outside will prove recreant to the
cause when the day of action comes.
Outside of the silver-producing states
almost all the republican members Of
the house will undoubtedly be on the
right side when the time for practical
work on the finance question arrives
Many democrats, too, will be on the
sound-money side. Most of those from
the eastern states are as devoted to the
cause as are the republicans, and the
presidents influence and patronage
will put many other democrats in the
same line, but it is on the republicans.
