J. E. TUFFREE. ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1880. Two fashion which has been in vogue of late, of sneering at the officials of the Agricultural Department and of believing their efforts in the cause of agricultural science, is likely to be not so generally indulged in for a time at least. The experiments in the direction of extracting sugar from sorghum cane, made under the direction of the Department of Agriculture, are likely to result in creating a new industry which will be greatly to the profit of every agriculturist in the Union. Sorghum grows as readily as common corn and yields about 160 gallons of syrup to the acre. The cane has been found to contain as high as 14 per cent. of pure sugar. The Messrs. Townsend, Gates and others, of Garden Grove, raised a good crop of sorghum the past year, and made a syrup therefrom which was of easy sale. Still more important are the experiments which have been made by the Department officials in the matter of extracting sugar from common cornstalks. Research in this direction is still going on, and everything indicates the ultimate success of the experiments as the following telegram will show. New York, December 24th.—Dr. Collier, Chemist of the Agricultural Department, told a Tribune correspondent that his experiments have demonstrated that an acre of sorghum will produce as much sugar as an acre of the best sugar cane, with this great advantage for sorghum, that the latter plant can be grown from Maine to California, and from Minnesota to Texas, while sugar cane can only be successfully cultivated in a portion of Louisiana. Again, sorghum may be grown with as much certainty as Indian corn. In regard to cornstalk sugar, Collier said that plant is probably one-third less valuable as a sugar plant than sorghum, but will be profitable work. In his second letter to the Morrall, Mr. L. J. Ross says: We have thousands of acres of land which will raise grapes in paying quantities without irrigation, and make pleasant and happy homes where are now written covered with chaparral, age-brush, cedrus, etc.; and I believe that these very kinds, that are now supposed to be of no value, are especially adapted for the grape, and that too, without irrigation. I have cleared and planted such a piece of land, and up in this data I have never seen a vineyard that made such growth or produced so well, and without irrigation while planting or since. Most of this vineyard is only one and two years old, yet I have a small corner of such land which in fifteen years old and those vines have borne more, are larger and of thrifter growth than other vines adjoining an apparently richer land—land that grew good grass, while the sandy, or almost sand, grow nothing but brush and older bushes with now and then a spenmore tree. Mr. Ross says that level land is preferable to hillsides, because the former absorbs all the rain, and where irrigation is practised it is almost necessary to have the ground level. In regard to the kind of soil, he further says: A finely divided sandy soil will absorb water readily and is easily worked. It will, too, retain water in summer much better than adobe or clay, or a coarse porous soil. Adobe and clay soils are good for the raising of such crops as grow in the winter, like grasses, wheat, barley and oats; sandy soils, on the other hand, are adapted for summer growing products like corn, melons, pumpkins, fruit trees, grape vines, and not suited to grasses. Man can do much to assist in retaining water in a soil by cultivation—stirring the soil. Even a very light soil will, by rains, dew, gravitation and other forces of nature, continually form a crust on top, harden, presenting favorable conditions for expansion. Correspondence A Word with Farmers. Edron Gazette:—In contemplating the beauty of this carr Los Angeles Valley, its inhabitants climate, its capability for producing most wonderful crops together with its many concomitants and planning adjuncts, produce in our mind a feeling such as no other state or section has ever awakened although I have traveled through and studied the natural capabilities of the soil of more than half of the States east of the Rocky mountains. Yet it is a melancholy fact, that with all the positive advantages of this valley over all other sections of the Union, I find a large number of citizens particularly those engaged in agricultural pursuits, inclined to spend more time in evening than in tilling the soil. The why and wherefore of this, in a measure at least, can be traced primarily. I think, to the heterogeneous character of those who attempt cropping. One thing, however, we all know, and that is that nearly if not all the States in our Federal Union are represented in farming in this valley, and many if not all the European States. Now sir, how could farming here in this new country, where we have so many kinds of soil with such a conglomeration of husbandmen to tend the land, ever test its capabilities whilst they continue to put in nothing but barley from year to year, and that too, in most cases, with nothing but a harrow? Could any cane man expect to succeed in reaping a crop put in such a sluttish manner? Such a thing, expressed in the mildest form, is most ridiculous. Especially is this the case when we remember that a large majority of those crops are what is termed "volunteer." Right here let me say that I knew two farmers back in the State of which I am from who practiced this Indicates the ultimate success of the experiments as the following telegram will show. New York, December 24th.—Dr. Collier, Chemist of the Agricultural Department, told a Tribune correspondent that his experiments have demonstrated that an acre of sorghum will produce as much sugar as an acre of the best sugar cane, with this great advantage for sorghum, that the latter plant can be grown from Maine to California, and from Minnesota to Texas, while sugar cane can only be successfully cultivated in a portion of Louisiana. Again, sorghum may be grown with as much certainty as Indian corn. In regard to cornstalk sugar, Collier said that plant is probably one-third less valuable as a sugar plant than sorghum, but is still susceptible of very profitable working. "In fact," he said, "our farmers have been throwing away about two-thirds of the value of their corn crops for the last hundred years." At a meeting held at St. Louis on December 3d the following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, The production of sugar from sorghum can throughout the country in quantity sufficient to meet the entire wants of our people, thereby saving annually over $100,000,000 now paid out for foreign sugars, is a subject of great national importance; and Whereas, For the successful prosecution of this industry there is needed skilled expert labor, which is not now obtainable; Resolved, That the Department of Agriculture is earnestly urged to secure from Congress appropriations of sufficient amounts to establish schools of instruction in the growing of cane and its manufacture into sugar in connection with our State Agricultural colleges. Resolved, That we urge upon the legislature of our respective States to extend and to these agricultural colleges for the better and fuller development of this industry. About a year ago the name of Cashier Barron was on every tongue, and his tragic ending evoked world-wide sympathy. On the night of February 22nd, 1878, Mr. Barron, who was Cashier of the bank in Dexter, Maine, was found locked in the bank vault, gagged and dying. It was conjectured that he had given up his life in defence of the property of which he was custodian, and his family being left destitute, subscriptions poured in to the extent of many thousands of dollars. Further than that, the Barron Memorial church was built to keep alive the memory of the heroic cashier. But the bank officials employed an expert to review Barron's accounts, and were soon able to announce that the dead cashier was a defaulter in a considerable amount. The public did not believe the statement when first made, but it is now given out officially that such is the case, and the bank officers have begun a suit to recover the amount of the defalcation from the estate, which by reason of insurance policies and gifts amounts to $16,000. Instead of dying at the hands of robbers, Barron was guilty of a very ingenious suicide. The District and County Courts, by provision of the new Constitution, yesterday ceased to exist. On Tuesday, January 6th, 1880, the two Superior Courts of Los Angeles county will convene. Judges Sepulveda and Howard presiding.

On Tuesday, January 6th, 1880, the two Superior Courts of Los Angeles county will convene. Judges Sepulveda and Howard presiding. Judge Sepulveda will continue in his present quarters and Judge Howard will occupy the County and Probate rooms. Following is the allotment of business to the Courts: Judge Howard—One-half of District Court civil cases; cases of forcible entry and detainer, original and on appeal; cases in insolvency; probate proceedings. Judge Sepulveda—Criminal cases; one-half of District Court civil cases; cases on appeal (except forcible entry and detainer); special proceedings.—Herald. A Los Angeles exchange says: We learn the freight rates hence by steamer to San Francisco on grain will be advanced twenty-five cents per ton from the first of January. This, we presume, is compulsory, the new Constitution being the compelling power, depriving the Steamship Company from doing business cheaper from a competing point than from the ports of San Buenaventura and Santa Barbara, from which places they have no competition. The Tarbox distillery cases, which have been in the Courts here and in San Francisco for several years past, have finally been settled and quieted. The property, situated on the east bank of the river, was yesterday sold under mechanics' lien, by Sheriff's sale.

To-day commences new year in the annals of time, and with each annual return new hopes and aspirations for the future are formed. It is the day for entering upon new resolutions to conduct of life, for bidding adieu to both practices and habits, for balancing accounts and commencing anew the various business interests, for making friendly calls and to exchange of friendly greetings, for receiling differences, banishing animosity and restoring friendly relations between neighbors, friends and relatives where they have been interrupted, for forgiving and being forgiven the wrongs and grievances, whether imaginary or real, that may have become due to the interests of humanity, to get order and the well-being of society, to lieving the distressed, succicing the wilt and the fallen, bestowing charity to needy, and above all to the exercise of charity to the erring. In this spirit your correspondent sends greeting to the editor of Gazette, to his friends and acquaintance and to the citizens of Orange generally best wishes for a "Happy New Year." us bury the old year from our sight with the follies errors and grievances that we have been co-incident with it, and enjoy the future "the soul's calm sunshine and heartfelt joy that is virtuous pride." The wheat mania has obtained in Oranges and a large acreage will be sown to cereal. Mr. Nathan Flatcheer is preparing now one hundred acres, Messrs. Siblay Harwood sixty-five acres, D. C.

The Academy Rose Ball Club.of Los Angeles played a match game here on Clerk GAZETTE. JAY 3, 1880. Independence with Farmers. In contemplating the New Los Angeles Valley, its capability for productive crops, together with its arts and planning adjuncts, and a feeling such as no motion has ever awakened, traveled through and studied capabilities of the soil of the States east of the Rocky Mountains. Yet it is a malancholy all the positive advantages of all other sections of the large number of citizens who engaged in agricultural work to spend more time in milling the soil. The why this, in a measure at least, primarily, I think, to the character of those who attempt anything, however, we all know that nearly if not all the federal Union are represented in valley, and many if not many States. Now sir, how there in this new country, so many kinds of soil with formation of husbandmen to ever test its capabilities, continue to put in nothing but year, and that too, in most nothing but a harrow? man expect to succeed in out in such a slutish manning, expressed in the mildest ridiculous. This case when we re-large majority of those crops named "volunteer." Right here I knew two farmers back in the am from who practised this nine Day with the Orange Club, which resulted in favor of our invincible Orange boys by a score of fifty-eight to fear. Mons. Hager and Witherby have recently purchased twenty acres adjoining their Orange ranch which they intend to set to the olive. Although it may be somewhat of an experiment, yet with their accretized energy and good judgment, they cannot fail of success. There is little doubt but that their gravel soil will be nicely adapted to the growth of the olive and without irrigation. The orange crop promises well and a good yield will be gathered notwithstanding the severe winds that have occurred during the last few weeks. The recent heavy rains have made and have with the "Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Co.'b" canal. Several culverts were washed away, making breaches in the canal that may require weeks to repair. Fortunately, there will be no need of the water except for domestic purposes until repairs are completed. There was a social party at the house of Mr. Arthur Johnson last evening, in honor of Miss Fanny Lockhart and Miss Lettie Bowens, who are spending their holiday school vacation at home. The gathering was a very pleasant one and games and dancing were indulged until the woes ana hours, while wit and mirth flowed freely, and all were happy, festive and gay. The demise of the old year and the birth of the new was celebrated with becoming honor, and all left with the feeling that it was good to have been there and partaken of the joys of the occasion. Mr. Cuddeback, one of our oldest and most respected citizens, is quite ill with pneumonia. His case is not considered serious, and it is believed that he will be able to be up again soon. There has been an unusual prevalence of "hard colds" for a few weeks past, taking the form of influenza as it appears in the colder latitudes east of the mountains, and it is attributable entirely to want of suitable caution in adapting dress to the changes of weather, and to undue exertion on Italian pieces in her best style and gave for an encore a lovely little alley. Miss Belle Hill was the only one awarded a bonnet, we believe. The plume darts of Mrs. and Miss Beaufort, and Mrs. Landell and Miss Tisbest, were well rendered. The backgammon operas at the close was loudly applauded and apparently much enjoyed. All felt well paid for the pain they had taken, but especial thanks are due to Mr. J. W. Landell, at whose suggestion the consent was given, and who encouraged the matter in every respect so pleasingly. The school room was pretty deserved by Mrs. Upman. On New Year's Eve, Mr. and Ms. K. Porter spread their homes to their friends, and though their homes is spacious, it was none too large for the occasion. The dancers enjoyed the opportunity of keeping morally the New Year's Eve, and the law who did not dance enjoyed the social intercourse; and all enjoyed the good things spread for their refreshment. Garden Grove Homes. Christmas has come and gone, cold, blustering and disagreeable. But the church put on its decorations of beautiful flowers and living green, and under the hands of skillful manipators a goodly tree was laden with numerous appreciative gifts for old and young. Quite a company, considering the weather, assembled at an early hour to partake in the festivities. Anthene and Christmas orchids, under the efficient leader of Prof. Potter and Mrs. Fallowa, cheerred the hearts of those who had assembled, and even made them forget the omnious rear of the elements without. At length to the music of violin and organ, the richly-laden tree, now brilliantly lighted, began to revolve in such measured motion as almost to suggest an unchurchly walts, and made so pretty a picture as to draw thundered shouts of delight and appliance from old and young. Then a commotion without announcement the arrival of therundear from the north, and in walked old Santa Claus, laden before and behind with gifts and toys that made the In this case when we re-claim majority of those crops known "volunteer." Right here I knew two farmers back in the 19th am from who practised this good of cropping until they starving out. God Almighty serious effect such a course men, and probably would have on the farming community excised great mercy by calling their fathers as a warner. But where they took up know not. Being undeniable, let me say through you, that sooner than our old course of raising barley, we putting in volunteer crops they had better turn scaveners—anything. And in the vain sense let them give up places in farming. In this valley fully demonstrated that all, and as free, rational, intelligent they see it, don't they they do not and cannot exercise motion in reference thereto, take of a friend, as also other friends who have preceded me and if they cannot get Odessa next best. For a number of small farmers in some of the fields, when they put in wheat after against resisting the rust, they would get a rope 50 to 75 feet long of boys each on a horse morning and run with the rope over the field (after the wheat dust), knocking the dew off, and securing a crop of beautiful corn. Can't you try it? Don't be insults. Do anything that there is of success. I would advise all who have really moist to put in some corn not without such a crop early in the spring. Don't be insults. I recollect one year in Kennebogan a heavy frost on the 13th corn was about one foot high, cut down, but it survived, and corn was never raised in the blue sky. But the great advantage of corn here is you get the benefit rain before they dry up. But subject, I would press upon quantity of tinning every hill to stalka. You cannot raise a corn do it. I have often seen in from 20 to 30, but it is a fact know, that no ground on this give sufficient vitality to such. Dec. 28, 1879. Orange Items. Act, 1880. To-day commences at the annals of time, and with return new hopes and aspirations future are formed. It is the stirring upon new resolutions for life, for bidding adieu to bad habits, for balancing accounts arising new the various business for making friendly calls and the friendly greetings, for reconnaissance, banishing animosities, and friendly relations between neighbors where they have been happy, festive and gay. The demise of the old year and the birth of the new was celebrated with becoming honor, and all left with the feeling that it was good to have been there and partaken of the joys of the occasion. Mr. Cuddeback, one of our oldest and most respected citizens, is quite ill with pneumonia. His case is not considered serious, and it is believed that he will be able to be up again soon. There has been an unusual prevalence of "hard colds" for a few weeks past, taking the form of influenza it appears in the colder latitudes east of the mountains, and it is attributable entirely to want of suitable caution in adapting dress to the changes of weather, and to undue exposure. Santiago City Items. We once said never, but we meant you know, that is hardly ever, would we again sharpen pencils or use the scissors. We don't know why, unless it is the recent rains have soaked us up, tightened the stays and gave us a new lease on existence, that we feel constrained to chronicle a few events hereabouts. The busy little bee that didn't improve each shining hour last summer have gone where the woodbine twineth, and I would add that there were an immense number in the throng from here; however, their gain was our loss, and we propose profiting by their demise, and Italianizing what remain. The mining fever that raged so severe a year and more ago, has entirely left the patient, and what is now being done is substantial work and no blowing. It has been proved beyond a doubt that there is mineral in these everlasting hills, and even patience and hard work with no capital will eventually triumph, but you may be sure it is slow. With the prospect of better times ahead, many miners will begin active operations in the spring; but little will be known of their intentions until after the accomplishment of their designs, for it is and has been of late, difficult to learn anything beyond mere hear-say, and that is not very satisfactory to thequisitive reporter or the readers at large. Two gentlemen from Leadville, Colorado, in company with Senior Heathman of Santa Ana, paid the gulch a flying visit recently, but the moist weather was not conducive to pleasant traveling over these slippery inclines and the gentlemen returned to the valley until more settled weather. We sincerely hope they will return and remain sufficiently long to take in the whole mining district of Santiago. The gentlemen referred to are proprietors of smelting works in Leadville, and we learn that should everything prove favorable they will not hesitate to erect works in this immediate vicinity. Coal prospecting still progresses and several good indications have been struck. It is a debatable question whether or not the railroad have any land in this vicinity, and it is to be hoped that the United States authorities will soon survey and designate to certainty their lands and the lands of the grasping monopoly. It is discouraging to prospect two months, find a fair showing and no sooner begin to work the mine and reimburse your once flat pocket book, than a constable steps up and shoves under your nose an injunction. Truly, the American citizen has but little protection from his government, when it in any way jettles the arm of powerful corporations. It has been asserted that the survey and sectionisation of California will cost considerable (I dismember the exact figure), but then if all the money that has heretofore been spent in litigation, criminal prosecution, and a small value put on the lives lost on account of fraudulent location of real estate, grasping land grants, imperfect titles, etc., could be happy, festive and gay. The demise of the old year and the birth of the new was celebrated with becoming honor, and all left with the feeling that it was good to have been there and partaken of the joys of the occasion. Mr. Cuddeback, one of our oldest and most respected citizens under the efficient leadership of Prof. Potter and Mrs. Followin, showed to length to the music of violin and organ, the richly-laden tree, now brilliantly lighted, began to revolve in such measured motion as almost to suggest an unchurchly waits, and made so pretty a picture as to draw thundered shouts of delight and appliance from old and young. Then a commotion without announcement the arrival of the runderear from the north, and in walked old Santa Claus, laion before and behind with gifts and toys that made the shining eye still brighter beam. In the true spirit of "ye older time," the old follow began unloading the tree and calling out the names of the fortunate recipients. First, a good comfortable stove for the church, from its well-beloved Deacon Howe, brought down the house in a storm of appreciative applause. This was followed by gifts to all, old and young, and none were forgotten, not even another "Deacon" who was favored with a miniature pair of pants made in the newest and most fashionable style. And in the merriest mood we separated, the better prepared for the abundant rains that came to us on Friday night. This seriously interfered with the services of the Quarterly meeting on the Sabbath, but filled our hearts with cheer at the hopeful approach of the good times. A brother of our fellow townsmans Mr. Chaffee is looking around here to prospect for another brother, whom we hope to secure as a permanent resident. If immigrants would inform themselves concerning this beautiful and attractive county they would surely turn their faces hither and help us in making these desert places bloom as the rose. To all such we say come and welcome. A B. S. A. Savannah Items. The people in our vicinity are very jubilant over the recent rainfall and are sowing largely to barley and wheat. The Hon. As Ellie is planting about $400 worth of flax seed on his farm east of Los Angeles. Since writing to you last we have had 6 and 3-16 inches rainfall, and with the two rainy months ahead of us it is safe to predict an abundance of rain for the coming season. Christmas passed quietly with the usual amount of enjoyment both for the young and the old, and Santa Claus visited most of the children in this nick of the world. Considerable money changed hands at the El Monts races Christmas. There are several horses entered for the races in Savannah which come off New Year's Day. Last week we was frozen one inch thick in Savannah. Pretty cool for tropical California. Some of our neighbors intend to plant several acres of sorghum, or Chinese sugar cane this spelling, and it will undoubtedly pay here. If we cannot get the best sugar factory started, we can grow the sorghum and make it pay as the mill and boiler, with furnace, cooler, refiner and dripper can be put in operation for about $100, and not to exceed $200. Mrs. Slack, of El Monts, died last Monday night. She leaves a large family and a large circle of friends to mourn her loss. The wet weather has had a tendency to dampen the brilliant prospects of our debating society for the present. Mr. Lewis one of the passives of counterfeit money is again at home on The Amma. Orange Items. At 1880, to-day commences a new return of hope and aspiration future are formed. It is arising upon new resolutions for good life, for bidding adieu to bad habits, for balancing accounts arising anew the various business making friendly calls and the friendly greetings, for reconnaissance, banishing animosities, and friendly relations between neighbors and relatives where they have helped, for forgiving and being forgiven and grievances, whether real, that may have beclouded in our horizon of being, and for a new life that shall be devoted interests of humanity, to good the well-being of society, to distress, succoring the weak fallen, bestowing charity to the above all to the exercise of charm. In this spirit your corrections greeting to the editor of the New York Times and acquaintance, citizens of Orange generally his for a "Happy New Year." Let old year from our sight with all errors and grievances that may co-incident with it, and enjoy in 'the soul's calm sunshine and the joy that is virtue's pride." The mania has obtained in Orange, the acreage will be sown to this Mr. Nathan Fletcher is preparing to hundred acres, Monsa Sibley and thirty-five acres, D. C. Hayward, Rev. Mr. Young thirty acres,arker thirty-five acres,Mr. Edw. twenty acres,and the Monsa Lock-more,bides many others. Land foothills heretofore devoted only crops in being plowed for wheat. The men have given an impetus to agri-fied infused hope and expectation mind and feelings of all classes. The interest is also in the ascendant number of acres will be set the winter. The Eastern demand for land and brandion, also for our fresh fruits, together with the prospect completion of one or more of the transcontinental railroads, has had to inflate new life into fruit-growing cultural industry. The ship-oranges and lemons will be four to eight in amount this year then to the shipments of marine have apparently increased. Adammy Bane Sull Club, of Los Angeles a match game here on Christmas in Centralia. The principal feature of Christmas was the concert on Thursday night, December 25th, which so far as the entertainment was concerned, was a decided success; though only partially so on the part of the audience, on the attendance was small, on account of the weather. Where all was so well done, it is hard to tell what deserves special mention. The dact, piano and violin, of Miss Tahunt and L. F. Crane, was well executed. Mr. Jackson gave two taking songs, and Mrs. Some of our magazine readers present several acres of sorghum, or Chinese sugar cane this spring, and it will undoubtedly pay here. If we cannot get the best sugar factory started, we can grow the sorghum and make it pay, as the mill and boiler, with furnace, cooler, refiner and draper, can be put in operation for about $1640, and not to exceed $200. Mrs. Slack, of El Monte, died last Monday night. She leaves a large family and a large circle of friends to mourn her loss. The wet weather has had a tendency to dampen the brilliant prospects of our debating Society for the present. Mr. Lewis, one of the pansers of counterfeit money, is again at home on the Anna. We hope his circulating medium will do him good for the future. A shipment of seven tons of bacon and lard went to the front last week from Navanah. J. H. R. Westminster Items. J. Caldwell is now making a well for Gan. Heeder on the place he bought of W. T. House, near town. J. A. McPadden has gone to San Francisco and will return in about two weeks with a supply of new goods. Mr. Milas Fawcett and Miss Mannon of Los Angeles are here on a visit. Our farmers are busy plowing. Much of the wheat grown in November has to be replanted. Surprise parties," on mangue," are now in fashion here. Such a party visited Dr. McCoy's on Xmas night, when a good time was enjoyed and much merriment caused in recognizing the manners. This year we can boost our main stands better than those of our neighbors. Between here and Los Angeles, in places they are exorcable, whilst here if we find them we could go it at a 2:40 p.m. The Christian Union Temperance Society meet on Monday evening, Jan. 5th.

"Scano" translated means to preserve, and "Odentan" the teeth—"SOZODONT" a preserver of the teeth. And it is true to its name. It beautifies and preserves the tooth hardens and invigorates the gums, and corrects all insurrection of the breath.
