The Thyroid Gland In Medicine.

In the past few years remedy has been
discovered for certain conditions hitherto
regarded as iDcurab bic, which is certain in
its action, and which for the benoficenco
OF its results stands unrivaled in thernpeu-
ties. The use in medicine of the thyroid
gland of animals is n logical conclusion
from adequate premises, and tho thyroid
forms ono of the few medicinal agents in
our possession which arc not given on
purely empirical grounds.
1t isa generally familiar fact that the
majority OF drugs arc prescribed because
medical history records that for some I'M
known reason, they have proved effectunl
in tho diseases in which they are admin
iStcrcd, though why they should do so ro-
mains unC XplHncd. In certain conditions
mercury has specific action, tho nature
of which is absolutely unknown. Quinine
had cured the Countess Chinchon-and
hence the name cinchona-of her nglIe con-

So 1t is with most of the remedies which
the physician employs. IIo uses them be-
cause experience has shown that they will
do good in the conditions in which he
proscriEes them, although no has not
learned why, hut in the lso of animal
thyroid the physician knows that ho has n
sovereign remedy, and no also knows the
reasons for the brilliant results of its prop
or application.-D Pcarce Bailey in Pop

Purchasing Fruit Trees.

A mistake in purchasing a selection
of fruit trees for an orchard is easily
made, and is of such serious import
that the greatest care should be exer-
cised, says the California Fruit Grower.
If one is sufficiently we'll posted on
varieties and their suitability for the
location it is proposed to improve, let
them make his own selection. If there
is none near, write to responsible
concern telling whether you are plant
ing for home use or for market, tell
him the character and lay of the land
and the number of trees wanted of the
different kinds of fruit and let him
send the varieties.
1t is not good economy to set lot of
fruit trees and then after waiting any
where from three to five or six years
for them to come into bearing, find out
that mistake has been made. Under
present conditions and taking little
care to investigate, there should be no
mistake made as to the choice of varie-
ties. The intending grower should
know at the outset whether the fruit
is intended to be marketed in fresh
state, if SO, whether it is to be cured,
or whether it is to be sold to Gamers.

The annual meeting Of the California
State Bee-Keepers Association was
held last week in Los Angeles.
Professor Cook addressed the meeting
upon the advantages of the exchange
system and the needs of united action
in the marketing of their honey by the
bee men. He said that the present ex.
change has every element for success
and will surely prove great advan-
tage to honey producers Prof. Clark
stated that the National Beekeepers'
union has already been of inestimable
value in promoting the interests of bee
men.
Mr.. Brodbeck spoke briefly on the
advantages to be derived from mem
bership in an exchange. Several
others followed, with a few remarks.
On motion of R. Touchton, a resolu.
ton was adopted disappearing the
amalgamation of the beekeepers' union
and the recently organized National
Beekeepers' Association.
Considerable time was then devoted
to discussing methods of grading comb
honey. Mr.. Ross thought as much
care should be taken in the grading Of
honey as is done with oranges.
Mr.. Daugherty stated that in the
grading of comb honey there is a ten.
dency with some producers to put up
crate with high grade of honey on
the outside and the center is filed with
a poor grade of the article. This prac
tice has done much to destroy the
good name of the California product
In the Eastern markets.
Mr.. Wilkin thought that all honey
that the exchange may handle SHOULD
be examined by an official inspector
and inspection be made and the honey
graded. The resolution was adopted
and the matter was referred to the
Beekeepers' exchange for action.
At the afternoon session officers fol-
the ensuing year were elected as fol
lows: President, Prof J. A. Cook
vice-presidents, DIR. G. A. Willard
Delos Wood, r. Touchton, E. A.
Honey, W. D. French, B. Taylor, j.
9. Kuibas; secretary, ]. H. Martin;
treasurer, H. E. Wilder; executive
committee, J. F. Mcintyre and F. D.
Pond.
A resolution was passed approving
the bill introduced at the Beekeepers
exchange meeting Tuesday aiming al
the prevention of the use of adultera
lions in the manufacture of strained
honey.

Consular reports show that even III
unfavorable seasons the sugar beet crop
pays the farmer in France better than
wheat or any other agricultural pro.
duct In 1884, 100, 900 acres were
planted to beets in France, producing
IS, 400, 900 tons Oh beets, or an average
of about 81 per ton for forage and the
manufacture of sugar. The yield OF
sugar ranges from seven to nine pc,
cent of the gross weight of the root.
The average annual expense of cult.
waiting one acre of beets in France is al
follows: Preparing the land, SO; five
pounds of seed, 90 cents; hand weed
ing and thinning, $685. first working
and transporting, $l.25; second work
ing and transplanting, 81; gathering
and piling beets and tops, So; total
$40. There is no waste of the beef
product in France, every part of the
vegetable being utilized either fol
sugar or for forage. The pulp is eager.
ly devoured by cattle, and is found
that, especially when fresh, they not
only increase the animals fat, but also
largely increase the secretion of milk.
The dry leaves, when mixed with
straw, afford excellent food for cattle
and sheep during the winter. The ex.
perlence and practice of the sugar beet
farmers of France herein narrated, may
furnish some suggestions Of value to
the beot growers of California.

mands, 1t will. have an aggregate ca
pacity of 1000 tons daily and it is ex
pected that it will reach that linit
soon after its initial run. The people
OF the Salinas Valley have pledged
themselves to raise sugar beets for the

FOR THE FARMERS.
Some Interesting News for the
Ruralist
SPOKEN OF IN THIS COLUMN.
A Few Sensible Hints to Suit the Busy
Agrieulturist.-ItemsT That May
Benefit our Readers.
The Great citrus Fair.

One of the great winter citrus fairs
has recently closed in the city of
Fresno. The entire San joaquin VAL
ley was represented, says the Oakland
Tribune A few years ago it would
have been impossible to hold such a
winter fair in any part of that valley.
Wheat growing had pushed the cattle
husbandry back into the hills. Farm
ers took the chances ON a single crop.
If it failed, as it often did, they waited
for better season. One good year
would more than balance accounts with
bad one. But with low prices for
wheat not much money was made in
that crop for several successive years.
At later day attention was turned
to viticulture. Fresno county became
the center of the raisin industry
Here again the dependence was ON a
single crop. The owner of hundred
acres of vineyard for the production of
raisin grapes seldom produced anything
else. This special culture was carried
to great perfection. But fortunes came
slowly, if at all. The raisin industry
has been subject to many fluctuations.
IN some instances the area planted to
vines was reduced.
When it was found that in eight OF
the counties comprised in the great
San joaquin Valley Citrus growing
might be made a profitable industry,
it was something like an original dis.
covery. That is just what the citrus
fair in Fresno has illustrated. The
area adapted to citrus culture has been
doubled in California. There is as
much land in that valley adapted tc
this culture as there is in the orange
belt of Southern California. The
little orchards are appearing every.
where. At last, the people of that
valley are in good measure, discard
ing the one crop system. The whole
range of citrus and deciduous fruits
promises much more in the future.
The fair at Fresno illustrated this
range and variety
But how rapid has been the change
We remember well when land il
that valley could not be sold at the
minimum Government price of $1.25
an acre. Thousands of acres were
taken up on scrip that did not cost
above forty cents an acre. Great a:
have been the changes in that valley
during the last twenty-five years, they
will probably be as great i'll the next
twenty-five years. They will cover
the valley with orange groves, orchards
and vineyards. That is the greater
significance of the fair just closed al
Fresno.

W. N. Dale, formerly OF Mott, has
leased hydraulic mine on French
creek from j. Welsh, and has been
piping for over week now. He has
about 1900 feet of pipe at the mine,
and the prospects for rich cleanup
are excellent.
Some citizens of Jamestown, Tu.
olumne county, have organized a stock
company for the working of the old
New York gravel mine. This prop
erty is situated one mile north of the
Rawhide on Table Mountain, and
yielded half million dollars in 1854
56. Litigation stopped operations and
the claim has lain idle ever since. At
present nine men are employed in
cleaning out the old works.
The mill of the old Confidence, in
Tuolumne county, is in operation once
more. The Democrat says Ore is
being extracted from the 800 level and
crushed by the thirty stamps with
which the mill is equipped. Good
milling ore is found ON the various
levels, and the mine will be a produce
ing proposition from the start. Thirty
years ago it poured out stream of the
yellow metal, and its present owners
are confident that their efforts will be
rewarded in like manner.
The Redding Free Press SAYS: Ben
Hart and Johnny Lanyon are engaged
IN opening up what they have named
the Lone Rock mine on Riley bar near
the Sacramento river. They have sunk
shaft forty-four feet deep in which
they have found a sixteen-inch ledge of
ore assaying from $40 to $50 to che
ton. They have fifty tons ON the dump
and twenty tons sacked ready for ship
ment.
The Golden Fissure mine, situated
mile and half east of Bachman's
mine, Enterprise district, Butte county,
has five-stamp mill run by water
from the Mooretown ditch. This mill
began operations since New Years.
Their ledge is about three feet wide
and prospects we'll. They are down
100 feet on the ledge and will start
lower tannel shortly. l. S. Watson.
ex.secretary of the Y. M. G. A., is
superintendent.
Bailey d Carrick are accomplishing
some good work upon the Katie May
mine ON Greenhorn, and will be in
position to take out large amount of
quartz in the spring. They are now
working on a tunnel which will tap
the ledge lower down. The ore from
this ledge is very rich, and the owners
have done well during the past season.
During the summer and fall, the south
ern end Of the ledge was leased to Van
Nader and Winsell. who took out con-
siderable ore, which averaged $50 a
ton.
