Wheaten Starch of our own manufacture Cutting Down the Forests. Thoughtful men and especially men of science and learning of all ages and countries, have understood and appreciated the importance of keeping a portion of the earth's surface covered with forests. Those who have given this subject the most attention have generally agreed that at least one third of the land surface should be covered in this way. This conclusion has been arrived at by observing the climatic effect upon countries where the proportion of forest to cultivated land has been reduced below the ratio of one to two. It has been found as a universal rule that in new countries, where the proportion of timbered to cleared land is greater than that above named, just in proportion as it is greater, just in that proportion is the climatic effect favorable to equable seasons and healthy and vigorous vegetable production; that as this proportion is similar to the Asiatic hardly come from the North or from the damp and barred country lying north of us.

Cigar Dealers and Grocers supplied at Short Notice. ORDERS PROMPTLY ATTENDED TO. June 14 ff SANTA ANA STORE, Santa Ana, BY— WM. H. SPURGEON, DEALER IN GENERAL MERCHANDISE, the proportion of land has been reduced below the ratio of one to two. It has been found as a universal rule that in new countries, where the proportion of timbered to cleared land is greater than that above named, just in proportion as it is greater, just in that proportion is the climatic effect favorable to equable seasons and healthy and vigorous vegetable production; that as this proportion is reduced below this point, so the effect upon the climate of the country is reversed, and not only the seasons tend to extremes but the weather generally is affected in the same manner. In the cooler portions of the temperate zones the effect of reducing this ratio is to produce extreme cold and freezing terms in the winter seasons, and continued heated terms and destructive droughts in the summer. As a confirmation of this proposition we need only to refer to the meteorological history of the country east of the Rocky Mountains from the time of its first settlement up to the present time. The winters were formerly mild and pleasant, comparatively speaking, and extremely hot weather and injurious droughts in the summer was almost entirely unknown to our forefathers. In more southern portions of the temperate zones and in the torrid zones the effect is still more striking. The rainy seasons, though curtailed as to time, or crowded into less days, are accompanied with more terrific storms of rain and wind and more frequent and destructive floods, and the dry or summer seasons are proportionately prolonged, the heated terms rendered more frequent and severe and the droughts more extended and destructive. The countries of Western Asia, of Southern Europe, and our Pacific possessions, are striking proofs of the correctness of this general law.

Orders promptly filled. structive. The countries of Western Asia, of Southern Europe, and our Pacific possessions, are striking proofs of the correctness of this general law. There is scarcely a man of the age of fifty years, who has been brought up in the rural districts of any one of the older States of America, but can remember of living springs and perpetual creeks and rivulets in his boyhood days where nothing of the kind is now known. The water level in the earth, as indicated by the wells of the great West, has within the last twenty years sunk from three to four feet. The effect upon the duration of the mountain and the foot-hill streams of our own State, and of our sister State, Nevada, produced by the destruction of the forests, is noticeable and is remarked by the most casual observer. The simoons, or hot, dry winds of Syria, Arabia, Nubia and India are all directly traceable to the deserts or large extents of naked or untimbered country in and surrounding those States. Our hot northers may be called simoons because in a certain degree in their effects upon vegetable and animal life they are exactly similar to those named. Although the immediate connection has not yet been satisfactorily traced between these winds and the great barren sandy desert of our sister State, Nevada, known as Humboldt valley, yet scientific and observing men believe that such connection exists, and that meteorological observation will sooner or later demonstrate it. These winds, heated and charged with electricity and poisoning influences exactly ably such changes in air Vegetation draws almost support, half the fertilizing ties that give it life away from the atmosphere. If parent, then, that by dep atmosphere of these properties substituting poison in them we have seen the destructives and creation of data that the necessary results lessening of agricultural pests Has not every farmer observed the first crop produced cleared land, after the gettry has been cleared and some time, is not equal to crops on the same kind of ed and sown when the same country is new? Has California farmer observed first crop on the prairie land under cultivation now, large as the first crops raise same variety of lands we california's earlier days? These changes are attributing the changes in the atmospheric soil, produced by the denial a greater surface of more than to any or all our Sac.

SANTA CLARA county is the third dairy county in Marin being first, and Soond Monterey ranks in the list. The Patrons of Husbandry. This order is multiplying with astonishing rapidity. At the South and West especially, Granges are being formed so rapidly that it is useless to try to keep pace with them. In one county alone in Kansas there are forty Granges, with a membership of over one thousand. We have heretofore expressed a fear that this great organization would be in danger from professional politicians. One Grange in Iowa issued a call for a meeting to nominate local officers, which was promptly suppressed by the State Grange. Should the order confine itself to the objects expressed in its constitution, it will have before it an unlimited field of usefulness. The organization of the order is such, that all subordinate Granges report to their State Grange, and they in turn report to the National Grange, which body is, so to speak, a court of final adjudication, having powers EFFECT UPON PRODUCTIONS. We have so far confined our observations to the influences of want timber, or of the destruction of land, on the climate of a country. These influences are no less striking important upon the agricultural vegetable production. It is almost a universal rule, which holds good to all countries, that as the country grows older, and larger widths of land are cleared up and brought under cultivation, the less land produces to the acre. This generally attributed to the exposition of the soil by cropping, and in a very great extent this is true cause. But has not the destruction of the forests and the coniferous deleterious effects upon the atmosphere, the climate, some induce also upon the productive lands of the soil? We have seen that settling down the forests, denuding the plains, the hills and the mountains of their timber, produces excesses of cold and heat, causes floods in droughts, hurricanes and poisonous smoons, dries up the creeks and valleys and decreases the volume of rivers and even sinks the available water of the general country over down towards the centre of the whole earth. Is it not plain that a decrease of vegetable and genetical production must follow inevitably such changes in a country? Vegetation draws almost half its support, half the fertilizing properties that give it life and growth, in the atmosphere. Is it not apparent, then, that by depriving the atmosphere of these properties and instituting poison in their stead, as we have seen the destruction of forests and creation of deserts does, the necessary result will be a local ower which was promptly suppressed by the State Grange. Should the order confine itself to the objects expressed in its constitution, it will have before it an unlimited field of usefulness. The organization of the order is such, that all subordinate Granges report to their State Grange, and they in turn report to the National Grange, which body is, so to speak, a court of final adjudication, having powers as set forth in Article 111 of the constitution of the order as follows: "The National Grange, at its annual session, shall frame, amend, or repeal such laws as the good of the Order may require. All laws of the State and Subordinate Granges must conform to the Constitution and the laws adopted by the National Grange." We give a list of the principal officers of the National Grange, and assume without any positive knowledge on the subject, that the secretary will furnish documents to those who wish to know more about the order: OFFICERS OF THE NATIONAL GRANGE.

Meet a fellow when the thermometer is up among the ninetyes, and you see him mopping the sweat from his face, digging the dust from his eyes, his paper collar wilted, his linen coat streaked with sweat, and he exclaims: "Hot! Why I never saw such weather." He tells you how the rubber in his suspenders has melted and run together; how he could wring pints of water from his clothing; how the sun has crisped his boots and ruined his eyesight; and he starts off with the remark: by such changes in a country? regitation draws almost half its port, half the fertilizing properthat give it life and growth, in the atmosphere. Is it not apment, then, that by depriving the osphere of these properties and instituting poison in their stead, as have seen the destruction of forand creation of deserts does, the necessary result will be a mining of agricultural productions? not every farmer observed that first crop produced on newly saved land, after the general counhas been cleared and settled up time, is not equal to the first is on the same kind of land cleardown when the surrounding entry is new? Has not every California farmer observed that the crop on the prairie land brought for cultivation now, is not so as the first crops raised on the variety of lands were in Calinia's earlier days? These changes are attributable to changes in the atmosphere and produced by the denudation of greater surface of the country, than to any or all other causes. is claimed that the farmers Iowa and Illinois have saved, season alone, $2,000,000 by purning their goods through the inventuality of the Farmers' Gran- NATA CLARA county rates as third dairy county in the State, being first, and Sonoma secMonterey ranks fourth in from his face, digging the dust from his eyes, his paper collar wilted, his linen coat streaked with sweat, and he claims: "Hot!

He tells you how the rubber in his suspenders has melted and run together; how he could wring pints of water from his clothing; how the sun has crisped his boots and ruined his eyesight, and he starts off with the remark: "Never saw anything like it." Now meet a lady, and what do you see? Clean white dress,dainty collar,jaunty tie, hair nicely combed, eyes bright and smiling, no dust—everything as tidy and orderly as if the weather was October. She doesn't hurry a bit, stops now and then right in the sun, cuts the air with her parasol as if she had no use for it, and always manages just to escape the furious cloud of dust coming up or down the street. There are no inquiries about the state of the thermometer, no longing looks at soda water signs and ice wagons, and no applications of the handkerchief. She does not hurry, does not dash for the shade of a six-foot awning, and hang to the spot waiting for a cloud to pass over the sun,and when she takes a car it seems to matter little whether all the windows are up or whether they are down. How on earth do they manage it? A Grange of Patrons of Rusbandry was organized at Princeton just week. There are eight Granges now in Colusa county, located as follows: At Colusa, Franklin, Freshwater, Princeton; Stonay Creek, Sycamore, Union; and Willows.
