Experiment stations.

Some farmers do not understand ex-
actly how experiment stations proceed
in making themselves useful, says the
S. f. Chronicle. Here is an example
Of one question which some Of the sta
tions are trying to solve. as reported
by Professor G. o. Flagg of the Rhode
Island Experiment Station. 1t is
known that potato scab is fungus
growth usually first introduced into
soil by seed potatoes, and when once
there multiplying and running all fu-
ture crops. The problem being how
to prevent this, pure cultures of the
fungi were obtained and then propa-
gated in different substances. 1t was
found that they would not multiply in
solutions which were strongly acid
but did thrive III alkaline conditions.
From this it became probable that if
the fertilization and treatment of
soils designed for potatoes could be
some managed as to maintain acid con-
ditlons therein that the scab would
decrease and perhaps disappear. Ex-
periments were then made on small
lots of ground and the result con-
firmed the theory. Now more expert.
ments are to be made in various places.
If the results continue the same the
experiment will be tried upon a com.
mercial scale in various places, and il
still found to succeed, the method
of treatment will become portion Of
the stock of the agricultural knowledge
of the world.

Plant a Chestnut Grove.

California chestnuts are quoted in
the market reports of San Francisco at
10 cents pound, says the Stockton
Independent. AS the climate and soil
of nearly all of California is we'll
adapted to the growth of chestnuts it
is surprising that so few of the trees
are cultivated. In the rigorous eli
mate of New England it fiourishes and
has been immortalized in Longfellow S
Village Blacksmith. 1t is tree
that would add greatly to the beauty of
spots already beautiful and produce
beauty where but little exists, and at
the same time be source of profit to
the grower. Trees planted now will
give to middle-aged men some results
and young men will live to reap rich
profits from them. No better heritage
can be left to family than farm
with a generous chestnut and almond
grove upon it and those old people
who love their children can make them
richer by planting groves even where
they cannot hope to reap the results.

Angora Goats Protect Sheep.

We note several complaints from
sheep breeders of the destruction of
stock by dogs. We think if breeders
would buy at least few Angora goats
to run with their flock they will not
only find much more effective remedy
for this trouble. but one that is far
cheaper than barbed wire fence. The
goats require no food nor any different
care from the flock; they are long lived
and hardy, and their fleece will pay
for their keep. Either male or female
will answer the purpose, as they have
no fear of dog and will stand their
ground and fight if necessary. If
properly treated, they are as quiet and
kind as sheep. To those sheepmen
who have been annoyed by dogs, we
think they may find it to their advan-
tage TO try the above remedy-at least
the experiment is not costly one and
may be productive of excellent results.

The statistical position of the prune

The Farmers Credit.

In an interesting article ON the con-
dition of the farming classes, the Amer
lean Agriculturist declares that the
pesimists, the ignorant and the calam-
ity-shouters who arc fond of prating
about the poverty of the farming COM
munity, and some agricultural journals
not conversapt with the facts who have
assisted in spreading the idea. have
done their utmost to destroy the farm
ers' credit. The journal referred to
says that, as matter of fact, while
many farmers have been in distress,
yet, taking the farming people as
whole, it is safe to say that the farm
ers have passed through the years of
depression better than any other body
in the country. Today, it says, farm
ers owe less than those in any other
business. Some mortgage companies
have failed that did an extensive bust
ness, especially in the semi-arid re-
gions, where agriculture is yet in an
experimental stage, but the records Of
well-managed concerns in this lina of
business, in the Central West and
Northwest. show that farmers inter-
ests is being promptly met, and the
principal of many mortgages reduced
or paid in full The number of farms
owned free of debt in the South shows
remarkable gains. In the Middle and
Eastern States farmers have main
tanned their good credit in the face Of
keen western competition. Contrast
this, it adds, with the record of fail
ures among merchants, manufacturers
and railroads. The 161 railroads that
have gone into receivers hands in the
last three and half years We're mort
gagged ON the farms in the United
States. Probably the actual loss on
investments in railroad mortgages in
the past six years has exceeded the
amount of all the farm mortgages in
the country. The Judgment of the
Journal mentioned is that, taking the
country as whole, % per cent Of the
loans on farms during the past twenty
five years have either been paid in full
or are today worth 100 cents ON the
dollar.

A Rig Sale.

The famous Cherokee Flat Hydraulic
Gold Mines, with record so far of
producing $1S, 900, 900, which has been
tied up with litigation for ten years
past, between the Bank of California
on one hand and the bondholders on
the other, sold under foreclosure sale.
The entire property, consisting of 1000
acres Of auriferous channel, 100 miles
of water bitches and thirty miles of
canals for debris was bid in by
committee of bondholders for 1915, 900.
Court Receiver ]. b. Whitcomb con-
Quoted the sale as commissioner and
Attorney 7. 2. Brakeman of San Fran
cisco represented the bondholders.
The principal holders of the bonds
in California ere Louis Glass of San
Francisco, the general manager of the
Bell Telephone companies on this Coast,
and David Gage of Oakland. The
balance of the bonds is held in New
York.
The mine is one of the largest and
richest hydraulic properties in the
State, and until the CON mencement of
the litigation in 1886 was worked con-

and getting the money out of any bar
rels which he might have on hand. OF
course these prices assure very large
export trade. but the prices in England
are the same, plus expense, including
exporters profit. The apples nearest
to shipping ports are now being moved,
and when they are gone the demand
will extend furtheflback into the ooun-
try, from which apples cannot now be
shipped to England without loss. 1t
is this condition of the apple market
which our prunes have to struggle
with. The crop of apricots and peaches
is so small that it will not more than
supply demand which would exist If
apples were actually met with much
more decided advance than the prunes.

Alaska's Outlook.

Mining in Alaska was never in a
better condition than it is today" says
E. F. Cassel of Juneau, Alaska, in an
Examiner interview. ''In southeas-
tern Alaska quartz mining is being
carried on extensively. Twelve big
mines are in successful operation and
are using in the aggregate 500 stamps.
In the coming spring months some
$50 more stamps will be put to work.
The placer mines in the Cooks Inlet
country are doing fairly WELL There
is no doubt that fully 600 miners will
go back into that country next spring.
This is the first year those placer
mines have been worked, and the total
amount of gold obtained was some
thing like $250,000. That is very
good showing. The first year the
Yukon placers were worked only $780,
900 was obtained. This year the
amount of gold taken from the Yukon
country is 81, 100000. You know the
season of active work there is limited
to two and one-half months in the
summer. There is no hydraulicking
done, and all of the work is by hand.
In view of this fact. the output of gold
from the Yukon district l have men,
toned is a remarkably good showing,
There is no doubt that the Yukon
plscers are equal to if not better than
any similar mines in the world"

The Calaveras Citizen has gathered
some interesting facts as to the mines.
1t finds that there are 200 miners at
work in Calayeras county, and more
being added to the number every day.
The Calaveras mines produced in 1895
$1.71S,000 in gold-next to Nevada
county-the largest amount of any
county in the State. Counting min.
ers' wages at So per day." says the
Citizen, "and allowing 800 working
days in the year. it will be seen that
every dollar of gold produced cost
about $2 for labor alone.'' There are
fifty-three stamp mills in the county,
with 707 stamps with capacity of
1880 tons per twenty-four hours. In
1897 Calaveras is likely to pass to the
front in total production and the num-
Der of men employed.

Price OF Oranges.

Oranges will probably command
fancy prices next spring and in the
early summer. The Redlands Cito-
graph says; "Our advices give an
average crop of seedlings, about half a
crop of Mediterranean Sweets. light
crop of navels ON old trees and no crop
at all on young trees. Southern Cali
fornia may have 5000 acres, but we
doubt it hugely" Florida will pro-
duce few oranges this season, and the
groves of central and northern Cali
fornia, while quite extensive in area.
are too young to count for much.
