[Pacific Rural Press] We begin to think that we shall see industrial history repeat itself, and that a course of events in which we took a deep personal interest in the Empire State is to recur in this distant commonwealth. So far as we can see, the methods will be the same; the materials different. About 25 years ago the production of cheese in the Mohawk valley began to increase rapidly. The natural adaptations of the valley for cheese dairying were marked; the inception of the associated factory idea pointed the way to great improvement in the product, the very soil with its rich growth of natural grasses seemed to invite an indefinite extension of the cheese interest. Cows multiplied, new factories sprang up, the heavy cheese wagons on market days nearly filled the streets of Little Falls; the cheese dairymen were growing rich. Soon the product over-supplied the demand of the Atlantic cities and their tributary regions, and of the little export trade which had been gained. Still the cheese rolled in. The market value dropped until a cheese could be had for a song, and a sad song at that. Those who were disposed to apprehend evil wore long faces and spoke doleful words. It was the croaker's gala day. There were a few, however, who firmly believed that a hungry world had a place somewhere for such rich and delicious cheese as the fragrant Mohawk-valley pastures could produce, and they came together with one accord to counsel concerning their needs last meeting upon another page, to call a general convention of fruit-growers in this city on Thursday, September 24th. The place of holding the meeting will be announced next week. Every local society in the State should appoint delegations to attend this convention and every individual grower who can should attend, and add his mite to the fund of experience and wisdom which is needed in the important undertaking. The local journals throughout the State, so far as we have seen, have approved the idea of united action among fruit-growers in the present emergency. Let them now call attention prominently to the coming convention and urge upon their readers the advantage and duty of attendance. A Wonderful Peruvian Railroad One of the most wonderful pieces of engineering in the world is the railroad stretching from Lima and Callao to the crest of the continent, where the famous mines of the Cerro del Pasco are, the source of the ancient riches of the country, from which tons upon tons of silver have been taken, and which still hold, if the testimony of the mineralogists can be relied upon, the richest deposits on the surface of the world. The railroad was never completed. Mr. Meiggs carried it from Lima to the crest of the Andes at a cost of $27,000,000 and 7,000 human lives, and gained for himself a reputation for energy and ability surpassing any man that ever came to this continent, but he died with fifty miles of track yet to be laid. No one has been found with the courage to finish the work, until a few weeks ago Michael Grace, of New York, whose brother and partner in that enterprise is the mayor of that city, made a contract with the government under the terms that he is to be given the road as it stands, with all its equipment, if he will complete it to its original destination.

Still the cheese rolled in. The market value dropped until a cheese could be had for a song, and a sad song at that. Those who were disposed to apprehend evil wore long faces and spoke doleful words. It was the croaker's gala day. There were a few, however, who firmly believed that a hungry world had a place somewhere for such rich and delicious cheese as the fragrant Mohawk valley pastures could produce, and they came together with one accord to counsel concerning their needs and the disposition of consumers. It was soon seen that England was exhibiting a little appetite for American cheese, and now and then sale was found for the trade in London, Liverpool and Manchester, where the working classes denied meat because of its high price, were glad to get a generous slice of cheese, that its concentrated nourishment might add strength to their meals of bread and beer. But there was much risk in the trade. Much American cheese had been thrown in the docks at Riverpool. The croaker saw no chance in such a trade. The resolute producers thought that cheese made to suit foreign eaters and to bear long keeping could be sold in almost unlimited quantities abroad. How was the cheese made which suited the English taste? The factorymen of the Mohawk valley organized, they sent our honored friend and associate, the late Hen. X. A. Willard, a commissioner to study the English manufacture and consumption. He returned full of information. The American cheese-makers were quick to apply it to their operations. The cry of over-supply was dead; the interest hounded forward to meet the new demand. From the limits of the Mohawk the production advanced westward throughout the State of New York, then to Canada and Ohio, to Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa, to Minnesota and Nebraska—the whole extension based upon the market 3500 miles away, which has been taking for the last ten years an average of 125,000,000 pounds annually, and returned $12,000,000 annually to the American cheese-makers. If one seeks the secret of this achievement it is easily found. It has been organization: first, to produce a uniformly good article cheaply; second, to discover suitable markets; third, to place the product upon those markets at the least expense. When the dairymen spoke through their associations, the railway managers listened, the steamship companies listened, the legislatures listened. When the old avenues of trade became too small, the dairymen opened new. When there seemed to be too many intermediates in the business, they were swept away, and the English factor ordered his supplies by cable direct from the local markets which the dairymen established in their own centers of production. Those were stirring times which established these important innovations, as many who are now Californians, and acted in them, can join us in declaring. But what has this to do with the "commercial aspect of the fruit industry," which we chose as our theme? Much; every way. The situations then in New York cheese and lives, and gained for himself a reputation for energy and ability surpassing any man that ever came to this continent, but he died with fifty miles of track yet to be laid. No one has been found with the courage to finish the work, until a few weeks ago Michael Grace, of New York, whose brother and partner in that enterprise is the mayor of that city, made a contract with the government under the terms that he is to be given the road as it stands, with all its equipment, if he will complete it to its original destination. He agrees to complete the remaining fifty miles of railroad and pump out of the mines of Cerro del Pasco the water that has been accumulating in them for half a lazy century, in consideration for which the government gives him that portion of the road already completed, and all the silver he can get out of the mines during the next ninety-nine years, he paying the nominal rental of $25,000 a year for the use of the property. The sensation of riding up this railroad, together with the rapid ascent from the sea level to the mountain's crest, produces a sickness called "siroche," often fatal, and usually sending people to bed for several weeks. The symptoms are a terrible pressure upon the temples, nausea, bleeding of the nose and ears, and faintness, but the effects can be avoided by taking precautions and observing rules that experience has suggested, the chief ones being to take a glass of brandy and keep perfectly quiet, as the slightest degree of exercise will flare the strongest man. People who are compelled to make the accent, if they have not become accustomed to it, usually take two or three days for the journey, stopping off at the stations along the line, and going to bed at once upon reaching the town of Chicla, which stands at the summit—Philadelphia Times. The Sexes. The Hebrew women are the longest lived and the colored men the shortest. It appears from the gathered statistics of the world that women have a greater tenacity of life than men. Nature worships the female in all its varieties. Among insects the male perishes at a relatively earlier period. In plants the seminate blossoms die earliest, and are produced in the weaker limbs. Female quadrupeda have more endurance than males. In the human race, despite the intellectual and physical strength of the man, the woman endures longest, and will bear pain to which the strong man succumbs. Zymotic diseases are more fatal to males, and more male children die than females. Deverga asserts that the proportion dying suddenly is about 100 women to 700 men; 1080 men in the United States, in 1870, committed suicide to 285 women. Intemperance, apoplexy, gout, hydrocephalus, affections of the heart or liver, scrofula, paralysis, are far more fatal to males than females. Pulmonary consumption on the other hand is more deadly to the latter. Females in cities are more prone to consumption than in the country. All old countries not disturbed by emigration have a majority of females in the population. In royal families the statistics show more following test for butter; sulphuric acid be compared quantity of pure butter; some first an opaque waxy change to brick-made of beef fat; when tanner changes at first and after a lapse of about a deep crimson.

Much; every way. The situations then in New York cheese and now in California fruit, are much alike. The products are both exceptionally excellent; both are well adapted to supply active wants and in both cases there was and is a stretch of above 3,000 miles between the centers of production and consumption. In both cases the secret of success lies in organization to discover means to accomplish desired results and then to accomplish them. If the cheese-makers had been content to be crushed by the machines and to be bounded by existing methods and agencies, the cheese industry would never have overstepped the limits of the Mohawk valley except where local markets demanded limited production. It was because they were ready to put forth "new life to meet the newer day" that they transferred "over-supply" into scarcity and won for their product the popularity and patronage which was essential to their success as producers. Similar effort now lies before the fruit interest of this State. The unanimity with which the proposition for the united action among fruit-growers is favorably received is very promising. It is conceded that ways to accomplish desired results must be carefully considered and deliberately adopted, but there is practically no question as to the crowning necessity of the growers doing something in their own behalf and undertaking it with the wisdom and strength of combination. It was a very wise act of the State Horticultural Society, as described in the report of their The Shoe Black Plant. The "Chinese shoe black plant," *Hibiscus rosa-sinensis*, is a native of India, China and other parts of Asia. In its native countries it forms a tree twenty or thirty feet in height. In our climate, and in that of England, it is not hardy, and is cultivated simply as a greenhouse plant for the sake of its beautiful flowers. These flowers contain a quantity of astringent juice, and, when bruised, rapidly turn black or deep purple. They are said to be used in Java for blacking shoes, whence the popular name. But the blackening properties of the flowers are probably overrated, judging from what we have learned from a gentleman who has seen the plant in its native country. The plant could probably be obtained from any American florist. ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1885. ITEMS FOR FARMERS. The role of wind in fertilizing the ground is remarkably illustrated by the very fertile valley of Limagne, in Auvergne. The prevalent winds there are west and southwest, and traverse the chain of the Domes, where are vast deposits of volcanic ashes. Much of this dust is carried to Limagne valley, and settles there of itself, or is carried down by rain or snow. As it contains a large amount of phosphoric acid, potash and lime, it is highly fertilizing, and its very fine state favors rapid assimilation. As a result, Limagne is by far the most fertile valley in Europe. The phylloxera first appeared in France in 1885 in the Department of the Gard. The ephemeral train has well toiled on, since it has laid desolate the whole south of France, where there was but comfort and prosperity. The Government expends 1,250,000 francs yearly to combat the bugs. In 1884 there were 1,661,000 acres of vineyards destroyed by the scourge in France, out of a total of 5,250,000 acres. In 1874 the country produced nearly 14,000,000 gallons of wine; now not more than half this quantity. She exports annually 550,000 gallons. Thomas Taylor, M. D., microscopist of the Department of Agriculture, gives the following test for butter: If a few drops of sulphuric acid be combined with a small quantity of pure butter, the butter will assume first an opaque whitish-yellow color, and after the lapse of about ten minutes it will change to brick-red. Oleomargarine made of beef fat, when treated in the same manner, changes at first to a clear amber, and after a lapse of about twenty minutes to a deep crimson. A writer in the Prairie Farmer says: "Ward C. White, the most successful dairyman in Wisconsin, uttered thataphorism that has gone over the whole world: 'I always speak to a cow as I do to a lady.'" of the Royal Horticultural Society embraced 1,500 varieties, many of them not worth cultivation. Eggs from bens not-in company with cocks will keep nearly twice as long as will eggs from bens not separated from the males. If you are troubled with white specks in butter, stir the cream every morning before it is churned, and the specks will not appear. So a good buttermaker may say. To make economical pork the pig should be kept in a continuously growing condition from the day of his birth until he is delivered into the hands of the butcher. Our Glorious ClimateThe above somewhat familiar caption is strangely enough, not from a California paper but actually from a New York paper—to wit, the Tribune, "founded by Horace Greeley." The rich and varied assortment of weather with which the metropolis has been blessed of late has moved the Tribune to evolve the following effort at making the best of everything: The people of New York do not sufficiently appreciate their privileges in the matter of weather. They are apt to grumble at the summer heat and at the winter cold in an unthankful manner, though it is susceptible of proof that they enjoy a larger variety of weather and get it more thoroughly mixed than anywhere else in the world. The people of California have for many years challenged the disgust and irritation of New Englanders by their boastful talk about the number of distinct and separate climates embraced within the boundaries of their State, and they are never tired of saying that one can there pass in a few hours from the torridity of the Sacramento Valley to the bracing coldness and eternal snows of the Sierra Nevada. But what is the actual fast? It is that though by travel on the railroad climates may be changed with considerable facility on the Pacific Slope, those who dwell in one place are subjected to a monotonous uniformity of temperature. No Californian can boast of such luxurious changes as have been experienced here during the past forty-eight hours. On Monday we were all gaining in a Russian-bath tem- CONPEDERATE MONEY. [Cincinnati Enquirer] The Confederate Government did not lack for money. In 1881 it issued $100,000,000 and until the last year of the war continued to send out bills of every convenient denomination, from $1,000 to 25 cents. There were green 5 cent postage stamps, with the profile of Jefferson Davis on them, and these were sometimes used in making "change," but the man who did it was always pitied as a penurious, rascally fellow. Confederate money is handsome. Of course, the paper is inferior, but some of the designs are well executed. It has a bliss back, on which are intricate curves and circles and curls, and its value denoted by a single word in letters an inch and a half tall. There is no uniformity in the design. On some bills there will be imaginary heads and sketches, a woman, a pile of arms, a rush to battle. On others appear likenesses of Confederate heroes and Confederate State Houses—as Jefferson Davis on the fifties and Alexander H. Stephens on the twenties; the Nashville, Tean., State House on the tens, and the Richmond, Va., State House on the fives. The face of Confederate money is colored pink around the likenesses. The first bills were simple notes, payable in six months. The second and all subsequent issues were made payable at different times "after a ratification of a treaty of peace between the Confederate States of America and the United States." Confederate money was not long in going below par. During the war it was not the extortion of merchants which ran up prices to fabulous figures, but it was the depreciation of the currency. In some sections calico sold for $10 a yard, good shoes at $80 and $100 a pair. Fifteen dollars would purchase a spool of thread or a paper of pins. Medicines and all luxuries were not in the market for that sort of paper. A silver dollar was worth at least thirty Confederate dollars. The Confederacy understood that A writer in the Prairie Parner says: "Ward C. White, the most successful dairyman in Wisconsin, uttered that aphorism that has gone over the whole world: 'I always speak to a cow as I do to a lady. When I asked him to tell me the answer to the whole dairy problem in one word he replied: 'Well, my boy, I should spell it c-o-m-f-o-r-t. Remember that milk-giving is a maternal function, and no man should abuse a mother.'" Ants can easily be exterminated by putting about two ounces of lard oil in a small tin can without a top and burying the can about halfway in the earth near the ants' nest. Leave it until the next day, and, if any ants are seen outside of the can, pour a little more oil into it, stir it with a stick and let it stand a little longer, when the last ant within traveling distance will be drowned in the oil. The largest butter record in the world was made by Princess II., with the thermometer below zero, making 8 pounds of butter a day from 51 gallons of milk. The cow giving the richest milk, however, is Lancaster Fanny, owned in Middle Tennessee, making 3 pounds of butter from 2 gallons of milk. Pure bred stock costs a little more at the start, but when once fully established on a place they are an everlasting benefit, for all of their offspring are, as the parent stock, superior to the mongrels, and the little extra expense of getting choice stock to start with is simply paid for by the superiority of those they produce. Save all pieces of boards and bits of tough timber and put them away in 'the barn or woodshed. How many times in a year does a farmer want a strip of board, a handle for a maul or a stick for a pin, and if not at hand, a whole board or fence rail must be cut, or perhaps half a day lost going to a wagon shop. All species of fowls are warmly clad, and it should be borne in mind that this very matter of clothing, while of great value as a protection against cold, becomes an element of danger when the fowl is subjected to the heat of summer. To guard against this it is necessary to provide a good shade during the day.

He thinks healthy sheep have maggot in the head, and when not properly cared for the grub gets the better of them, and the result is death. The Wisconsin Legislature has appropriated the sum of $5,000 to the State University, to be used in holding "farmers' institutes" in various places for the instruction of people in agriculture during the following test for butter: If a few drops of sulphuric acid be combined with a small quantity of pure butter, the butter will assume first an opaque whitish-yellow color, and after the lape of about ten minutes it will change to brick-red. Oleomargarine made of beef fat, when treated in the same manner, changes at first to a clear amber, and after a lape of about twenty minutes to a deep crimson.

No California can boast of such luxurious changes as have been experienced here during the past forty-eight hours. On Monday we were all gasping in a Russian-bath temperature. The mercury indicated 95%, but popular discomfort rose to at least 160%. There was a general longing to take off one's flesh and sit in one's bones, as Sydney Smith put it, and all felt that such another day would be unsupportable. But now mark what happened. A cold wave which had formed up in the North came to hand as per advice, and before it was possible to ejaculate Jack Robinson, the sulfuriness of Monday had given place to a snow-shower on Tuesday. It was not a snow-storm. Nobody get their cutters out. But it did snow, and after that we may confidently challenge the world to beat our assorted weather. We do not have to travel for it either. We can stay at home all the time, and it will be brought to our doors. Varieties of climate indeed! Where can more of them be found than on Manhattan Island? New Yorkers ought to be more grateful for the mateological blessings they enjoy, and they should not allow Western people to crow over them in matters of this kind. Why the Butter Doesn't Come New Hampshire Mirror First, because of some disorganized or unhealthy condition of the cow; 24 on account of the unwholesome food and water supplied; 34 want of proper cleanliness in milking and setting the milk; 4th lack of right conditions in the raising of the cream—pure air and proper temperature; 5th,the cream not raised and skimmed in time; 6th,cream not churned at proper time—kept too long; 7th,cream allowed to freeze—injured still more in thawing; 8th,cream too warm when churned; 9th,cream too cold; 10th,curnt not a good one; 11th，lazy hand at churn. Some persons have the churn around nearly all day,summer or winter; take a few turns and then stop; fool around and begin again. Cannot make good butter so. Use a box or barrel churn; begin moderately and continue as no more vent is needed,and then go on at a good pace without stopping till the butter comes. When the cream is perfect and the temperature right about 65 degrees in winter for a batch of butter weighing 20 to 35 lbs.,20 to 25 minutes should be ample time for churning,在 manner described.Since this complaint in butter making is more common in the winter season.I should expect to find the cause in the reasons given above in No.4 to No.9.

It is said that a quart of charcoal given to a brood sow that has taken too much feed by accident or otherwise will speedily relieve her. A little charcoal is good for hogs, and it should be given them occasionally. Seventy-five years ago the first tomatoes grown in this country were cultivated as a strange and showy horticultural curiosity in a garden in Salem, Mass. About 45 years ago they began to be used as a table vegetable. An Eastern exchange says; Mr. Vail, the "cattle king" of Nevada, began business twenty years ago with a capital of $500. He paid the $500 for a Durham cow, and from that cow has sold $40,000 worth of high-bred calves. A farmer in Herkimer county, New York, raises his best potatoes on a soil consisting of pure sand. He enriches it with plenty of barn-yard manure, and plants six or eight inches deep. His crops are sure and excellent. A Mississippi farmer dashes cold water into the ear of choking cattle. This causes the animal to shake its head violently, and the muscular action dislodges the obstruction. In 1688 Ray found that there were 78 varieties of apples.

"I am that Mary's voice I hear at the piano in the parlor?" "Yes, that's her. I don't see how I'd get along without that gal, nohow. Always on these days when I hew the hardest work, she picks out her nicest pieces, like 'Sweet Rest By-and-By,' 'Mothgr's Growing Old,' 'Love will Roll the Clouds Away,' and sings 'em for me while I'm runin' the duds through the first water." "Taint every gal as'd be so thoughtful, I can tell you." High Southern Ground for Ladies For some weeks Mrs. Fitzhugh Lee and Mrs. John S. Wise have been guests at the Hygeia Hotel, at Old Point Comfort. The news of Gen. Lee's nomination for Governor of Virginia reached the hotel when the guests were generally at dinner. As soon as she heard it, Mrs. Wise arose from her table, passed over to Mrs. Lee and congratulated her, saying: "If my husband is to be beaten, I had rather he should be beaten by your husband than any man living." Mrs. Lee returned thanks and said: "Mrs. Wise I only regret that both our husbands cannot be elected Governor of Virginia at the same time." Powdered Crab as a Medicine A Russian paper says: "During the last fifteen years the inhabitants of a malarial locality in Kharkoo Government in Russia have used the crab powder with great success against the fevers. The powder is prepared in the following way: Live crabs are poured over with the ordinary whisky until they get asleep, then they are put on a bread pan in a hot oven, thoroughly dried and pulverized, and the powder passed through a fine sieve. One dose, a teaspoonful, is generally sufficient to cure the intermittent fever; in very obstinate cases, a second dose is required. Each dose invariably preceded by a glass of aloe brandy, as a purgative. The powder is used in that locality in preference to quinine." Why Hens Eat Their Feathers In long, close winters, unless one is careful to feed sulphur each week, to give meat freely, and has large quarters and a hay-rick for the hens to run to, they will stand and pull the feathers from off their companions. This is accident at first, and generally starts with one hen. The new feathers that come out to take the place of those pulled are full of blood, and become tempting bits of blood and meat, and the evil increases till the whole sock becomes feather-eaters. When first discovered, take the smooth birds out of the flock, for the culprit is one or all of them. Feed sulphur and liver till gorged. Put a rick of hay into a poultry house; rake the feud (oats, wheat and corn) into the chaff, and you will divert them from the evil. The sulphur will destroy the desire—Country House. The Mormons of Salt Lake have adopted a system of boycotting towards Gentiles in every occupation, even refusing to employ laborers who are not of the faith. GAZETTE. 1885. NO. 49: F. H.
