things that are far harder He knows
that the government of this country
is all wrong. He knows that the state
government is extravagant, and yet he
pretends rot TO know that he could

Apples OF the early. as well as of the
winter varieties, thrive in all parts of
the state. Good land can be purchased
for $50 an acre and winter apples are
worth on an average 81 a bushel. This
year they are worth $3.50. Utah
peaches are noted for their delicious
flavor. Brigham City is the principal
peach growing district of the state.
Here modern methods of culture are
being introduced and extensive orch
ards are set out. Peach growers there
are clearing 5000 an acre on peaches.
There are no statistics at hand as to
the amount of fruit produced or the
value of the same. In 1894, when the
state made it's last statistical report,
the value of the orchard products was
returned at 1851 .233. but since that year
no statistics have been gathered. A
conservative estimate of the value of
vie orchard products for the past year
would probably be $1,000, 900. Better
cherries, peaches, apples and pears and
small fruits are not produced any

numerous house plants. In the center
of the sitting room is a long table, en-

This opportunity serves a double pur-
pose. First, that the mind of the pat
lent may be occupied in outdoor farm
life and second that it lessons the ex-
pense of keeping up the asylum. The
farm products are all consumed by the

year from the farm, dairy and hennery
S5,6S663 worth of products.
The asylum is divided into eight

BUILDING STONE
BECOMING FAMOUS,
Every Variety Found in Utah in
Great Quantities.

Possibly no other state in the Union
has been so lavishly treated by nature
in the way of building stone deposits
as has Utah. Every kind Of stone i'm
aginable that has ever been recognized
as building material is found in this
state GRANTEES. marbles. onyx, oorlite,
and innumerable varieties of sand
stone abound. The deposits are not
confined to any single locality, but in
almost every instances the different
varieties of the same kinds Of stone
are found at several different points in
the state While the building stone in
dustry is practically in its infancy in
Utah, according to those interested in
the stone business, enough development
work has already been done to show
that the possibilities for the future in
this line are almost limitless.
OF the varieties of building stone
found in Utah those used in the largest
quantities at the present time are
oorlite, granite and gray, red, brown
and buff sandstone, with a small guam
tity of marble. The oorlite is found in
large deposits all through the Sanpete
valley, and is of the white variety. The
Emigration and Butte canyons, Provo
valley, and country surrounding Park
City, abound with red and buff sand
stone, while at Diamond Creek and Mt.
Nebo there are large quarries of brown

all over the United States and from
France, Germany and Australia Mr.
c. A. Smurthwaite of Ogden informs
the writer that he estimated the export
of seed in 1889 at 2000.0 900 pounds. He
says. further: In almost all parts of
the state there was a very large short
age. The area left for seed this year
GS9S) was 80 per cent larger than that
of any previous year. but the disas-
trous frosts in August cut down the
normal yield fully one-half" The value
of the seed produced may be placed at
$780, 900.
Honey.
Alfalfa honey" commands the high
est price in the markets of the country.
This is an industry that is destined to
grow In Utah. The past year the prod
uct was 2S2 tons. worth $4,000.
Miscellaneous.
Sorghum is successfully produced in
Utah. The value of the output is some
$4,000 Wine, cider and vinegar show
an output of some $4,000 more Dried
apples. peaches. .plums. apricots, are
worth from 5000 to $4,000 a year. The
establishment of evaporating plants of
modern style would add very greatly to
the extent of this industry.

A library has been established at the
asylum containing volumes from the
best authors. There are appointed IL
brary days upon which privileged pat
tents go there to read. This affords
an educational entertainment that is
accomplishing much good among the
inmates. \ beautiful chapel room is

are held. The chapel is tastefully dec

sandstone. The gray sandstone is
found at Kyune. The granite deposites
are found all over the state, although
those at Cottonwood, Alpine and Brig
ham City have been developed to the
greatest extent.
Marble Deposits.
While marble has not been used for
structural purposes as yet in this state
deposits of it abound in Utah. In var
iety the deposits embrace the best
kinds. While not fully developed as yet
considerable has been done in that line
The marbles most easily obtainable at
present are from the deposits along
Snake creek and in the Heber valley
Heretofore the owners of these depoe-
its have been handicapped in carrying
forward the quarrying of their marble
because of the difficulty of getting it to
a railroad. The building of the Provo
valley branch of the Rio Grande West
ern, however. has obviated this diff
Guilty, and great Developments are
looked for in the marble business [fr-
ing the next year or two. The varie

Serpentine marbles are found at Hob
BILE creek and Pavson. In quality the
Snake creek marble equals that of
Vermont. while the serpentine varieties
found at Hobble creek are similar TO
and compare favorably with the same
varieties which are found in Tonnes
see. A deposit of black marble has
been found near Lehi. 1t has not been
developed as yet. although work enough
has been done to show that if it can
be obtained in sufficient size it will
compare favorably with the famous
Belgium marbles.
Another large deposit of pure white

miles south of Frisco, and is being de-

ter and cheese during the past year has
been estimated by the state dairy in
spector, Professor F. B. Linfield, at
500, 600. and the by products of these
factories-skim milk and whey-are es-
timated at between 500. 900 and $50. 600.
These by products are fed to hogs,
principally at the factories. Professor
Linfield places the total dairy product
of the state, that is, from both the home
diaries and factories, at $1.500.0OO. This
is the total product from some $4,000
milk COWS owned in the state. That
figures up $50 per COW. and yet Professor
Linfield has demonstrated by expert
ments at the Utah experiment station
that if the owners of those COWS would
follow his practice of feeding and man
agement of the COW, and in manufac-
turing the milk into butter and cheese.
those same cows would produce 100000
a year more than they now produce.
More than this, if the dairymen of the
state would begin in a systematic way
to breed their COWS for performance
that is, breed from the best and kill
off the deadheads-another half million
dollars could in few years be added
to the product of the $4,000 COWS.
Should the present rate of growth
continue, in a few years Utah will be
a second Denmark, which little country,
under the stimulus of an educational
crusade, has risen in a few years to be
the foremost dairy country in the

is the lack of skill-skill to utilize the
alfalfa, which grows with tropical lux
uriance and to make of it finished
article of butter that will command the
highest price in the markets of the
world. A. few years ago carloads of but
ter and cheese and oleomargarine and
filed cheese were shipped into the state
from eastern states Thousands of dol
lars were sent out of the state every
year to pay for an article that can be
produced as we'll and as cheaply in few
states of the Union, and farmers who
had COWS wondered why they were so
poor, This drain has now been
stopped. and the farmers are hundreds
of thousands of dollars in the pocket.
There is no danger of overriding the
work. So long as the production OF a
good article of butter and cheese is
question of cheap raw material" and
skill. there is no danger of over
production. The only danger to be APP
pretended is that our farmers and
dairyrnen will be satisfied with lower
degree of skill than dairymen of other
state in the handling of their dairy
herds, in the production of fodder and
in the management and operation of
the dairy.
Fruit Growing.
Less can be said of the progress of
fruit growing in Utah than of dairy
ing. The fact has not yet fully dawned

From the most reliable sources We
make the following estimates of the
value of the products of the farm and
range for 1899:
The products are divided into two
classes. the raw products of the field,
and the concentrated or "manufac-
tured' products. The first is a list Of
the raw products of the farm, which
total up $3.50 800.
Much of these products. hay for in
stance. is fed to milk cows and cattle
during the winter months, some is fed
to sheep. to swine and poultry, and
it would manifestly be incorrect to
credit the farm again with the total
value Of the products of the dairy, or Of
the sheep. cattle. swine and poultry.
The value of the food consumed, the
food for which the farm has already
got credit, should be subtracted from
the value of the concentrated products
of the farm.
The concentrated products of the
farm total up, as will be seen, SS,724, 900.
estimating the food consumed. in the
manufacture" of these products for
which the farm has already got credit.
at s., 500 900. there is left Sc, 224 900 to be
added to the former list of products.
making a total of S1S,504. 900 as the
money value of the products, raw and
finished, of the farm and range in 1899
