Trees Can Not Be Acclimatized Trees are fixed, almost inflexible, in their habits. For centuries, indeed as long as we have record, each species has kept in its beaten ways; insisting on the same average of temperature and refusing to grow where this could not be found; seeking and occupying certain kinds of soil and demanding certain amounts of moisture and avoiding situations where these were wanting. The latest authorities go so far as to declare that trees can not be acclimatized, that is, that even the ingenuity and perseverance of man are unable to induce trees to change their habits far enough to adopt a country not closely like their native habitat. For a time the forester may use various devices to surround a tree with artificial conditions by which, so to speak, the tree is deluded into feeling at home. But as soon as the forester's care is withdrawn in such cases, the tree is seized with homesickness and dies of it. This fastidiousness in the habits of trees has its good and its bad sides. It absolutely limits the forester's choice of trees to grow in a given region. To seek to force tree-growth in uncongenial conditions is entirely fruitless. But, on the other hand, there is practical certainty of results. If beech or spruce thrives where the average warmth and moisture of the growing season from year to year ranges between certain degrees, then home is in the mountains may sess a second home in the north latitudes of a level country, and northern low-land species may also on mountains of the south. Frequently trees are distributed over a country not continuously in isolated groups, like black lock, which occurs in the Sierra Nevada Cascades, and at sea level Alaska but not in the lower coast between. This is simply because required temperature, though valent in the northern part of the region, is found only in the higher altitudes as one goes farther and ther to the south. The forester, following broad first principles of silvieu may work in harmony with nature and so achieve in every locality best results with the lowest percentage of failure. University Extension Work In Agriculture The annual report of the Fathers' Institute work, under the department of University Extension Agriculture of the University California has just been compiled Prof. Warren T. Clark, superintendent of the extension work, to had many interesting comments make on this report. It covers states, the work of the year en June 30, 1907, and gives interest and instructive items of which following may be noted. Due the past year Farmers' Institute were held in thirty counties on state. The total number of institutes held during the year eighty-four. Thirty-three of them were one day meetings; forty-eight continued through the month. It absolutely limits the forester's choice of trees to grow in a given region. To seek to force tree-growth in uncongenial conditions is entirely fruitless. But, on the other hand, there is practical certainty of results. If beech or spruce thrives where the average warmth and moisture of the growing season from year to year ranges between certain degrees, then wherever else, in the northern hemisphere at least, the same average is found, the forester may plant beech or spruce, whether or not they be not already there, with confidence that they will flourish. The same law works both ways. If the forester finds beech or spruce or any other tree growing in a region of which the climatic conditions are not recorded, he knows within very narrow limits what the climate is, simply because he knows that at home this tree grows in such a climate. In other words, trees, especially of course those which are particularly fastidious, are very satisfactory substitutes for thermometers and barometers so far as the average temperature and moisture conditions during the vegetative season are concerned. There is a close relation between a tree's demands upon temperature and its demands upon soil. Given the proper temperature, it will grow where the soil is unfriendly; and given the most congenial soil, it will grow where the temperature is not ideal. The colder and wetter the soil, the better will it grow with a high temperature; the drier and warmer the soil, the better will it grow with a relatively low temperature. Thus, on a northern slope the forester will often find it safe to plant trees which would not thrive on the southern slope of the same mountain, because northern slopes are cooler and moister than southern slopes, and this difference may suffice to offset a slight disadvantage in the general temperature of the region. It required the services of two three state lecturers and one hundred and ninety-five local speakers to carry on the work of these Institutes. Of these state lecturers thirteen were employed at various times to give instruction in topics while ten lecturers and monstrators from the faculty of College of Agriculture devoted total of one hundred days to work. In addition to those already three general Institutes were two of these were in conjunction with the State teachers' Institute Fresno and Chico and one with noma County Grange. The total number of sessions these meetings was eight and total attendance 2500 or a total tendance per session of 212. The work done at these institutes covered, both from the practical theoretical side many of the problems confronting the agriculture and horticulturists of the state can be considered, judging by interest indicated through their ues just given, to be of actual use to the farmers of California. Postmaster General von Myers gone to the trouble of having not printed for posting in all post office calling the attention of the public the fact that written messages can be put inside of merchandise or paid that are mailed at the one cent r it grow with a relatively low temperature. Thus, on a northern slope the forester will often find it safe to plant trees which would not thrive on the southern slope of the same mountain, because northern slopes are cooler and moister than southern slopes, and this difference may suffice to offset a slight disadvantage in the general temperature of the region. There is a wide variation among trees as to the range of temperature which they endure. Some, such as the Douglas fir, yellow pine, eastern spruce or aspen, grow over wide areas from the north to south; others, such as Mexican white pine, eucalyptus, or redwood, are more narrowly confined. But it should not be inferred that only geographic lines can be drawn for the distribution of any species. The right temperature conditions may be found outside of the geographic distribution at higher or lower altitudes. A southern species whose Postmaster General von Myers gone to the trouble of having not printed for posting in all post offices calling the attention of the public the fact that written messages can be put inside of merchandise or paper that are mailed at the one cent rate. In doing this thing he is really shying an interest in the smaller and more ignorant patrons of the mails. This is a mandatory fine of not less than $59,065 in fines on this line alone merely from poor people who could ill ford to lose the money. With noth posted calling attention to the law will be the citizens own fault if he does not observe it. The step is a small one as has been said, but it will probably save a good many thousand dollars the aggregate to a class of citizens who have not many dollars to squander in fines.

During our Farmers' Institutes thirty counties of the total number of Insti-during the year was Thirty-three of these meetings; forty-eight Selection of Seed California Cultivator. The securing of seed for the fall crop is of importance, yet too little thought of by the ordinary planter. Any little "nubbin" will answer for seed, so it has an eye is the belief of many. On this point Mr. Bennett, the potato expert of the Colorado agricultural college, writes: "The erroneous idea prevails among farmers that anything in the shape of a potato that will grow is good enough to plant. Sometimes the culls and badly-sprouted potatoes are planted and a good crop results. Sometimes a good colt or a calf comes from a poor, scrawny sire or bull. This does not prove, however, that such is profitable in the long run to breed from, and the law that "like produces like" is just as true with vegetables as with animals. Nature always attempts to produce a perfect specimen of any species; but this is hardly possible when the poorest specimens are used year after year for the parent stock. The same care should be exercised in selecting the parentage of vegetables that is used in selecting animal stock for breeding purposes. The first thing in selecting seed is to have in mind the most perfect type of the variety being handled. Pick out and save only those tubers that approximate to the ideal type, and are firm and unsprouted. This will necessitate the handling of several times the amount of potatoes that is desired to plant, but will prove a valuable investment of time." The first thing in selecting seed is to have in mind the most perfect type of the variety being handled. Pick out and save only those tubers that approximate to the ideal type, and are firm and unsprouted. This will necessitate the handling of several times the amount of potatoes that is desired to plant, but will prove a valuable investment of time. A word as to the handling of seed after selection from the stock may be timely. After warm weather comes on it is difficult to prevent potatoes from sprouting and thus becoming weakened. If they are spread out thinly on the ground or floor of the cellar where they are exposed to the action of the light, this trouble will, to a large extent, be avoided. The seed will also be greatly benefitted by the action of the light in "greening" the tubers, and also in destroying the fungous spores that are in great numbers on the tubers. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

The want of a short, convenient route into Yosemite valley, combining quick time with comfort, has long been keenly felt. The nearest approach to speed was made by the famous "Cannon-ball" stage, operated in past years from Raymond to the valley, which made the distance in from twelve to fourteen hours. Up to the advent of Yosemite Valley railroad the average time to the valley from different points by stage was about two days. For the tourist possessing a constitution not injured to hardships, this trip was a trying one, calling for much fortitude as the stage toiled upward through the heat and blinding dust. Since the completion of the Yosemite Valley railroad, conditions have entirely changed, and now the most delicate and fastidious woman can make the trip to "California's Wonderland" with perfect comfort and ease. Many who before hesitated at the ordeals of a nerve-racking, jolting stage and clouds of dust can now make their observation cars from Merced, California, to the Railroad terminus Portal, at the Park line—over a nearly dustless as it can be road, and over a smooth road, through the beautiful panoramicery of the Merced river canyon, allel with the tumultuous moutain river for nearly sixty miles, which its downward course from Yosemite...
