Still Interested in Jasper and
Pleased With Growth

Jasper is always glad to hear OF her

to other localities. Hence our readers
will be interested in the following let
ter from Chas. Kerney who is now at
Fresno, CAL:

To friends aud Editor of the News
4 II is with great pleasure that | again
write you few lines about myself

appreciation for the News aud the It'd

We people in California have been
fortunate enough this winter to enjoy
very fine seasou:-one Of the finest /
ever saw, very mild aud scacely any fog:
but the past week has been very rainy
something unusual at this time OF year.
However the country can stand great
deal Of wet weather as the soil is tsandy
and compares with parts OF Barton 30.
Our season is very forward, most OF
the fruit trees blooming and should it
yet frost great damage would be done.
10 the past few years dried fruit has
been the chief industry Of the country.
The raisiu business. the real industry
of this part Of the country, has been
crippled the past few years seemingly
through the management Of the associ
ton. The prices received for fruit was
scarcely il any above the real cost OF
production, about 5000 per ton, but a
new association has Just been organized
under new management and is hoFed
that good prices will be received from
now on. This of course has made thing.

Editor X. IL. Tatlow of the Holden

the estimate of the Missouri corn crop

the following explanation Cfthe way in
which these estimates are made:
"The estimated yield corn for Miss

This was an average 1868 bushels per

reports of 5000 OF the best farmers To-
Gated in each county of the State
The average yield per acre is taken from
the estimates of these practical farmers
The acreage is assumed to be the same
as that given in the census reports OF

Time Signals.

Great progress has been made in the
accuracy of the daily noon time signals
sent out by the Naval Observatory. By
these signals time balls are dropped in
Washing ton Cat Navy Department., Bos-
ton, Newport, Woods Hole, New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Fortress Mon
roe, Savannah, New CLEANS, and Habana
Cuba. The telephone and telegraph
offices throughout the United States re-
ceive the same signal, and all western
railways are furnish ed with the correct
time.
The operation is auto matte, except the
preliminary opening and closing of cir
cults Five minutes before IL o'clock,
Nv ASKING ton time) business is suspended
on the wires of the telephone com panies,
and electrical connection with the stan
dard Observatory clock is made. Each
second as recorded by the Observatory
clock is automatically telegraphed, and
can be heard upon saunders in telegraph
and telephone stations from coast to
coast. The final noon signal is marked
by contact one second long, and this
drops the time ball, and corrects the
clocks automatically.
The transmitting clock that sends out
the signals is corrected very accurately,
shortly before noon, from the mean OF
three standard clocks and are themselves
verified by observations of the meridian
transit of stars. The average noon-sig-
nal error for the whole year was IA
one-hundredths of a second, and in the
past six months has been reduced to 6
one -hundredths of second. Then the
error was due to the changes in tempera-
ture and density of the atmosphere.
1t is proposed to extend the signals by
means of wireless telegraphy over water
as we'll as land in order that the ships at
sea in proximity to our coast may receive
the correct time.

Warning to Orchardists.

The time is at hand when all progress
sive orchardists and those who appreciate
the value of fruit in the home, should
give their trees some attention. refer
more especially to those who have been
menaced in retaining their orchards in a
vigorous condition by the attacks of the
''San Jose Scale"
This notice of warning will also serve
to notify those whose trees were inspected
by the local inspectors under the employ
of the State Horticultural Department Of
the Maryland Agricultural College, and
found to be infested with this pest. In
each case, the inspector tagged several
trees in order to call the attention of the
grower to the presence of the insect in
his orchard.
AS result of numerous experiments,
(see EXP. Station Bulletin 99) conducted
by this Department with various insect
cides we find as yet, the lime, sulfur and
salt wash formula lime, 20 lbs. sulfur Is
lbs. salt 10 lbs. and water so gallons, boil
ed from 80 to 80 minutes) to be the most
effective remedy for the pest. The wash
sh ould be applied to the trees in the
spring, just before the buds begin to
swell. and it is hoped that all who have
this pest among their trees will give the
matter their Immediate attention.

nation as to the effectiveness Of any pre-.

DR.. Pierce, the eminent physician of Buff

he controls as general, and will see to its

corpuscles to every square millimeter OF
blood. The best tonic for increasing the red
blood corpuscles and building up healthy
tissue is no doubt DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery. This medicine has been on
the market for over third of a century
and numbers its cures by the thousand.
Many popular patent medicines or tonics
are made up largely of alcohol and will
shrink the corpuscles of the blood and
make them weaker for resistance. What
is needed is an Alternative extract, like DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, made
of roots and herbs, without the use of alco-
hol, that will assist the stomach in assimi-
lating or taking from the food such ele-
ments as are required for the blood, also an
Alternative that will assist the activity of the
liver and cause it to throw off the poisons
in the blood. When we have accomplished
this we have put the system in fortified
condition so strong that 1t can repel the
germs of disease which we find every
where in the street-cars, the shops, the
factories, the bedrooms, wherever many
people congregate, or where sunlight and
good air do not penetrate.
