Barn Itch.

A very common disease In winter is
one known by various names among
the cattle owners. BY some 1t is called
barn itch and by others winter itch.
Simplified, we call It ringworm. Its
cause Is tiny spore which abounds
In the air of the stable.
Melt a teacupful OF hogs lard and
mix 1t with an equal amount OF crude
carbolic acid. Rub the affected parts
well with this mixture. This is perhaps
the most simple of all remedies. An
pther excellent remedy where the
above fails Is: Remove all crusts by
washing with soap and water. then ap-
ply acetic acid, sulphur ointment, tine
ture OF Iodine or nitrate OF mercury
ointment once day. Cleanse the sta

spores scattered by the crusts.-Dr.

PREDICTS BIG GROWTH
FOR CITY NEXT YEAR

1.-THE outlook for brisk business in
the building line during 1909 is GER
tainly encouraging" said M. s. Yeager
yesterday. IT look for one Of the most
flourishing years Los Angeles ever
had"
Yeager is superintendent of con-
struction for the Security Building
company, which carries on extensive
building operations, not only In the
city, but throughout the state. Asked
on what he based his prediction, Yea
ger said:
There are a number of reasons.
First, there is a constant and increas-
ing inquiry among prospective build
ers. There is no doubt that confidence
in the business future has returned.
Second, the demand is for a better
class of buildings, showing that money
Is easier. There Is also a disposition
among the prudent to build now, be-
fore an increase in the cost of build
ing material comes, as it is bound to
do. There is renewed activity. not
alone among home builders, but among
those who have large business build
ings projected. Mark my words, Los
Angeles is going to grow and grow
fast during the coming year"
Among the contracts taken by the
Security Building company during the
past week are the following:
August c. Krebser, Electric avenue
and Huntington drive, South Pasadena,

LANDS NEAR C0RC0RAN
FIND MANY PURCHASERS

The tide of investment in lands on
the delta, eighteen miles south of Cor
coran, is strikingly shown by the two
weeks sales of the Iowa Land and
Water company. Last year this COM
pany purchased nearly 5000 acres OF
the rich sediment deposit on the Santa
Fe railroad adjoining the famous AL
paugh colony They have spent nearly
$500 on lands and have installed
one of the finest irrigation systems
covering their lands to be found in
the state. They obtain their water
from deep artesian flowing wells,
which are turned into canalNthirty
feet wide and six feet deep, with q
capacity of $500 miners inches.
This water Is conducted over every
subdivision of their lands, ready for
the farmers use. No portion of the
lands lie a greater distance from a
railroad station than three miles. The
entire acreage is now being put In
crops. It is said that no richer or
finer body of lands can be found any
where than these delta lands, lying
west of Soleta in Tulare county.
The company has brought into frui-
ton a body of lands that will support
a population of several thousand peo-
pie.
The following sales have been made
during the two weeks the lands have
been on the market. All buyers VIII

lNolEWooD RANCHO
MAKES MANY CHANGES

improvements in and about Ingle-
wood are calling attention to the at
tractive features of the section as one
for beautiful suburban homes, and are
greatly increasing the demand for
acreage In the Inglewood Rancho and
in East Acres, and also in the Walnut
Grove tract Sales last week amounted
to more than $4,000. and bring the total
sales since the opening about two
months ago, to fully $4,000 The best
feature of nearly all sales is the fact
that nearly every purchaser is making
immediate provisions to improve his
property. Some will merely improve
to have a small country home, with
large yard room, barn, chickens etc..
and travel back and forth to the city
each day, while others are setting out
their acreage in truck gardens, chick
en- corrals, ETC., and intend to live per-
manently on the property.
Sales last week as reported by the
Inglewood Rancho company were as
follows;
To r, Hoodess one acre on Kenwood

The buyer is already preparing the
property for building improvements.

POMONA RANCH SELLS
FOR ABOUT 100000
LAND IN DEAL COMPRISES
5000 ACRES
Purchaser ls Eastern Man-Property
Was Recently Bought at Figure
Somewhat Below Present
Selling Price

POMON. e, Dec. Zone of the largest
sales of real estate which have been
made in the Pomona valley in many
months was that which became mat
ter of record few days ago in Whlcn
the Lynch estate at Spadra was SOLD
to DR.. w, r, Fundenberg. The consid-
Grafton is said to be between $150,000
and 5000, 900. The property was SOLD py
Frank A. Tetley of Riverside, and the
purchaser recently came to southern
California from Pittsburg.
One report of the tranactton says:
1.-THE property consists of 5000 acres or
valley and hill land, lying ABOUT -FOUR
miles west of Pomona and extending
some seven or eight miles up Into the
Puente hills. There are 1000 acres OF
level valley land in the tract, which are
suitable for citrus and walnut culture,
while the remainder is good grazing
land, with a very strong probability Oh
great value on account of extensive OIL
deposits.
"The rancho was sold by James B.
Threlkeld to Mr. Tetley about the mid
die of last September for a considera--
ton rather below the figure named
above. A good profit was turned by
Mr.. Tetley in selling 1t to DR.. Funden-
berg. The latter is a recent arrival
in Riverside, having come from Pitts
the coal business. He has transferred
a great part of his interests to South
ern California, and will make this sec
ton his home now, building hand
some dwelling in Riverside.
To Plant at Once
'It is planned to begin preparing
part of the level valley land for inn
mediate planting to oranges. Probably
500 acres will be set out this season.
Arrangements are being made to sur
vev the entire tract and begin subd1-
viding the arabic land for sale in
smaller sections.
1.-THE section Is noted for the fine or
ange and lemon groves, as high as SzVOo
an acre having been realized in Valen-
cia oranges in the last few years from
full bearing groves. A plentiful water
supply is already a feature of the great
tract, and more will be developed. one
we'll with q pumping plant throws
stream Of 80 inches constantly.
1.-THE lands extend into the hills quite
q distance and are bordered on all sides
nv rich oil fields. The Puente OIL COM
PAW Is on the southwest, while the
Brea canyon section, where the Union
Oil company is drilling, is on the north
and east. Outcrops of heavy asphaltum
are said to exist, and there is every
indication that great deposits of Pc
troleum are to be found under the sur
face. This section will be developed
by the new owner, and will probably
become one of the most important pro-
ducing fields of the southern end OF the
state. The Southern Pacific and Salt
Lake railways cross the property"

BIG ARTISAN FLOW
SURPRISES HIGHLAND
WATER RUNS OVER AT DEPTH
OF 1874 FEET
In Vicinity of Strike Several Futile
Attempts Had Been Made at
Great Depth-Raneh
Sale

HIGHLAND, Dec. 12.-In digging and
boring for water on the Olney Sherrod
ranch in East Highland, workmen
have met with the most unexpected re-
suits. After digging twenty-four feet
they began sinking a ten-inch pipe.
At a depth of ninety feet water rose
to within six feet of the surface. As
the pipe was driven deeper the water
rose higher, and at depth of 134
feet flowed over the top. At a depth
of 1874 feet, reached this afternoon,
workmen estimated that it was flow
ing ten inches. The pipe was driven
four feet lower, shutting off this last
flow to some extent, but when the
work is finished the pipe will be per-
forated at the level of each water
bearing stratum.
Much of the last fifty feet has been
through sand and gravel, with a few
thin layers of clay. 1t is Mr.. Sherrod' s
purpose to continue going down until
a stratum, impervious to water, is
reached, when, as stated before, the
pipe will be cut at the water bearing
levels, of which accurate measure
ments have been kept.
The striking of artesian water at
this point, or any point east of the d.
J. Carpenter ranch, in West High
land, is most unexpected occur
renee. Within half a mile Of this well
Alexis E. Frye in 1900 sank a pipe to
a depth of 504 feet and secured very
little water. In other portions of
Highland number of wells have been
sunk to a depth of nearly 300 feet and
nothing approaching an artesian flow
has ever been secured.
Mrs. Florence M. Wattles has pur-
chased of A. r. Greer the flve-acre
orange orchard just west of the corner
of Palm and Highland avenues, High
land, for consideration of $500. The
transfer carries with 1t valuable water
rights. The property is said to be one
of the best improved groves in the ia
vored Highland district.
