In n majority Of sections one Of the
foes most destructive to the life Of the
orchard trees Is the little white borer
which Is laid in some crevsce In the
bark near the ground In latter May or
early June and soon disappears, boring
and working damage as 1t goes. The
borer works In the tree two full sea-
sons, emerging from 1t as a mature
borer beetle two years from the time
the egg is laid. The presence Of the
pest In the tree is often shown from
the brownish wood dust which II
throws out, usually at the point at
which It enters the tree. A sharp
jackknife and a pliable peeled twtg
are the equipment needed to extermi-
nate them. The bark should be cut
away carefully-just enough TO locate
the culprit-when he can be jabbed to
finish. Trees are often nearly gir-
died below ground with little exterior
evidence that anything is the matter.
For this reason II is we'll TO keep all
grass and weeds away from the trunks
Of the trees and m the trips of inspec-
ton to scrape the earth away from
close to the trunk to the depth Of
two or three inches.

A hog raiser who reported his case
in the trouble" department Of late
issue of an agricultural paper states
that he fed his brood sows on ration
of corn and cob and oil meal and
many of the pigs were born dead. This
was about what might have been ex-
pected. the ration being badly out of
whack, heating and fat forming rather
than cooling and bone and muscle
forming. The oilmeal should have
been replaced with barley, beans or
peas, while oats and bran should have
taken the place Of the corn and cob
meal. The feeder simply made mis-
take and got the ration for the fatten-
ing shotes into the brood sow trough.

In England there are farms which
have been cropped continuously for
hundreds of years which are today
giving larger crop returns than at the
beginning. In some instances two and
a half times the yield. This has been
possible as result Of the English
mans recognition that the soil is a
crop manufacturing plant and that to
give generous returns 1t must be sup
piled with the necessary fertilizing
elements from which to give returns.
1t would be just as reasonable TO ex-
pect a steam power plant to give effec-
tive pressure without fuel or water as
the land to produce crops without con-
serving the fertilizing elements 1t con-
tains and supplying such as are con-
sumed in the crop growing process.

In the life of many a girl there comes
the trying hour when she meets her

A REPUTATION
WORTH WHILE
CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH REM
EDY A FAvORITE EVERY
WHERE.
Enormous Sale on It Largely Due
to Personal Recommendations
ofPeople Who Have Been
Cured By It.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been on
the market for over one-third of a century.
Starting from small beginning it has grown
in favor and popularity until the demand for
it often requires shipments in carload lots.
1t is now on sale at almost every drug store
and most country cross road stores in the
United States. There is no question as to
Its merits; in fact, the enormous sale on it
has been brought about TO large extent by
the personal recommendations of people who
have been cured by it. When you use
remedy for cough or cold and find it far
superior to any other that you have ever
tried, it is natural that you should tell your
friends of your good fortune. 1t has become
the mothers favorite for coughs, colds and
Group, as they found that it can always be
depended upon, and that it teontains no opium
or other harmful drugs. During these years
in which we have been making, selling and
using this preparation we have never known
of a single case of cold resulting in pneu-
monia when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
was used, which leads us to believe that it is
certain preventive of that disease. The
fact that it can be depended upon in every
case has crowned it with the success it enjoys.

REGISTRATION OF
AUTO INCREASES
Report of the Secretary of State
for January Shows a Grad
ual Advance
Number of Transfers Greater
Than That for Same Month
Last Year
By K. K. PH0mmedieu

The report from Charles f. Curry
secretary of state, concerning the num-
Der of motor vehicles registered dur
ing the month of January, 1909, shows
that during that time there were 476
vehicles registered and ~ transferred
In January, 1906, there were 261 regis
tered; in 1907 there were $40 regis
tered and in 1908 there were 400 regis
tered. In 1906 there were "a motor
vehicles transferred; in 1907 there were
1S transferred and in 1908 there were
81 transferred. This makes the total
registration for the month of January,
since the law went into effect, 1,457
and the transfers 165. The increase is
gradual, and shows a steady, healthy
growth in the number of Californians
who are taking up the automobile as
mode of conveyance.
Now that the manufacturers are put
ting more of the popular priced vehi-
cles on the market and the cars are
now so far past the experimental stage
that every one of them will do the
work to greater or lesser degree
the growth in the registration
will be greater in the months
to come. The registration for January
was in advance of the previous month.
During December, 1908, there were 446
motor vehicles registered and 93 trans
ferred. This shows an increase of 80
in January and a decrease in transfers
of 81
The decrease in transfers does not
affect the automobile situation, as it
means merely the shifting of owners.
The increase in the number registered
shows that the automobile trade is one
of the commercial factors of the wealth
of the state.

OUR ENORMOUS
PRODUCTIONS.
The United States Produces 20
per Cent. of the Worlds
Wheat Crop, 70 per Cent.
of the Cotton, and 79 per
cent. of the Corn.

In noting the prominence In
which the United States stands
out, when compared with The rest
of the world, the Philadelphia
Press says that 1t is most inter.
esting to note with careful eye
the proud and dignitied position
the United States holds, not in
contrast with other nations only,
but as agreat factor compared to
the united rest of the world.
With her far.r reaching territory,
embracing almost every kind of
climate and soil, with her mines,
her farms, her oil wells, her fac.
tories, she far outstrjps IN polpt
of material production as compar
ed on the basis of population the
entire world outside her borders.
Wlthout counting her island
possessions, but conhning this
article strictly to Continental
United States, we find that, while
she has but about 5 per cent. of
the population of the world, her
productions far exceed this fig
ure. From the latest statistical
tables available, we find that out
of the wheat annually raised in
the world-3,337, 100000 bushels
the United States produced
693,000,000 bushels, or 20 per
cent. OF coal, out of 100000
900 tons produced In the woi Id,
the United States mined 350,000,-
600 tons, or 35 per cent. Of man
ufactured products of all kinds
the world produced $43, ,000,000,-
600 worth, to which the United
States grand contribution $15,.
900, 100000 or 35 per cent. With
out further stating totals, the fol
loving percentages may be men
toned: Pig iron, 40 per cent. !;
steel, AZ per cent; petroleum, 55
per cent; cotton, 70 per cent,
and corn, 70 per cent.
These figures are astounding
and carry with them convincing
evidence as to the greatness of
our land. No other nation, with
the possible exception of China,
whose people have few and simple
wants, can so we'll sopport It's
population as the United States,
and If a wall of exclusion were
built around us we could still live
and thrive. being self contained
of all that is needed for the sup
port of national as we'll as human
life. But the truer life IS the
broader one, and so, proud of our
position among nations we reach
out a hand to all others, and while
endowing them with our benefac.
tions we reap reciprocal benefit
from them, and thus take our
place and keep it, leading the
great nations of the earth and
being destined to even greater
power and prominence as the
years go on.
