Astounding Food Adulteration

As the food products used in Aus tralia differ but little from our own, the report of the new health commits sioner of Queensland, Dr. Ham, on 123 samples of food, beverages and drugs analysed by him is of profound interest. He bought these samples in Brisbane. Here is the report:
 Samples of butter were found to be rough with boracic acid. Beers were rank with salicylic aid; wines were sweet to sickliness with sugar. Fruit syrups were discovered which had not even distant acquaintance with fruit, or were loaded with "preserva- tives." Samples of tea were anylized and proved to have grown on no vegetable stem whatever. No less than thirty chests were found to have been 'made by mixing magnetic oxide of iron with tea dust and sand, rolled by means of starch into little pellets of various sizes, in imitation of genuine teas." The report states that the common method of making whisky is to dilute essence of whisky with proof spirit, and then artificially "bead" the mixture by adding sul- phuric acid and olive oil.

Best Forage Plant for Bees

Bee men all over Southern California will read with interest the account which P. D. Barnhart gives in the Bakersfield Echo Of his experience with "withania organefolia, plant which he bought three years ago, and says Git is new to Horticulture in this country, and is classed among vining plants. Its habit of growth is like the ivy geranium. Three seasons trial in this city-Bakersfeld- proved it to be admirably suited to the hot, dry summer climate. It is absolutely free from insect pests, fourishes in the bright sunlight, grows in soil that is strongly alkaline, and that, too, with comparatively little water. While it is vigorous grower, it does not attain the length of vines here that the disseminator said it would, thirty feet in season. It is jointed, has small, dark leaves, and bears small white flower at the axil of every leaf. It is a stretch of the imagination to say that that they are "exactly like lilies of the valley" It is one of the very few plants that bloom continually.
 It is without exception the greatest forage plant for bees that know any thing about. A well-grown plant is so completely covered with the busy little insects that one is reminded of swarm of them, and for this reason it is valuable acquisition to the flower ing plants of this state.
 Parties interested in bees and the production of honey will make no mis- take in planting largely of this new introduction. Frost kills the top, but the roots remain unharmed in the ground where it does not freeze. It is perennial evergreen in frostless sections of the country, and is easilly propagated from soft wood cuttings or by the division of the roots.

Millions of California Butter

Nearly 3O,OOO,OOO pounds of Cali fornia butter, the exact figures being 29, 7O3, 1882 pounds, were produced last year, according to the report of the state dairy bureau, for the year ending October l, 1901; and it is stated that both creameries and dairies have re- sponded readily to the request of the bureau for reliable information, and hence very little estimating" had to be made. It is claimed that the amount reported is probably under the actual product. The report shows the output by counties, and the greatest increase in production has been in the alfalfa growing districts of Southern California and the Sacramento and San Joaquin valelys.1
 Kings county shows the greatest in-

The Peach Moth

Considerable loss was sustained last season from the ravages of the peach moth, dozens of specimens having been gathered in the San Fernando valley, where this comparatively new pest seemed most active. This insect has developed to troublesome extent in many of the northern counties, as well as in the southern. Peach grow CTS of the South have in prospect a fine crop of peahces, the trees having resumed their normal condition after two years of sour sap or other depict ing disease. Those who expect to fight this pest, as others are doing at Glendale and other points, should get their sprayers into immediate activity.

Large Southern Strawberry Crop-The Peach -Astounding Food Adu1- teration Millions of California But. ter

It is a matter of interest to our orange growers that strawberry crops of the south this year will be unusu,. ally large, according to present ap- pearances, since it is well known fact that the supply and price of early strawberries in the Eastern markets have decided influence on the orange market. Recent information from St. Louis is to the effect that the straw berry crop in Mississippi will be one of the largest in years, and the Texas report is similar. At points along the Illinois Central railroad in the south end of the state the strawberry acreage has been largely increased and large crop is in prospect.
