Gov ernor Sylvester Pennoyer issued a proclamation simultan eously "with that of President O rover Cleveland and des ignated Thursday. November 123as the date, while the president named Thni'sday, November !K). Governor Pennoyer 's unusual course ereated a nation wide sensation. The president's proclamation was in the customary stereotyped form, but that, of the governor of Oregon had something to say. The .financial panic of 18911 had bankrupted almost everything in the country and the times were miserable and wretched. Governor Pennoyer blamed .President Cleveland and Wall Street for tho con dition of affairs and his proclamation declared: "God has indeed been most beneficent to our state and nation, and yet unjust and ill-advised congressional leg islation . . . has so dwarfed and paralyzed business that the bounties of Providence are now deiucd to hun dreds of thousands of people within the national domain who are not only without employment, but are also with out tho means of procuring food, raiment or shelter." The document centinued: "While, therefore, the peo ple of Oregon return thanks to God for His Goodness, L do most earnestly recommend that they should devoutly implore Him to dispose the president and the congress of the United States to change legislation whereby our in dustries inav be revised and the honest toilers of the land Minn procure tneir uauy oreati, not as aims, out as tue reward of their labor." Governor Pennoyer had a strong following in .laekson county and the Cleveland policies in the main were so distasteful to tho largo majority of the democratic voters that the people's party swept the county at the following election. . The leading topic in Jackson countv was what to do with two Thanksgiving days, it was established that Governor Punnover s dav had re ceived the most attention. reads: "Governor Ponnoyer's Thanksgiving day will receive considerable 'attention in .laekson county. Nearly all the eountrv places will observe it. The Butte crook section has had a draw on the question, Eagle Point observing the 30th and Lake Creek the 12Jld and as there is a new crossroads saloon between the two places, both affairs will be about evenly patronized. The big ball at Central Point, which is located in the center of a fine agricultural section, has conspicuously advertised for the 23d as Pon noyer's day. At Talent, the Farmer's Alliance will have a great blowout, observing the 23d as a day of meditation, as well as thanksgiving and stump-speeching. Even in Ashland, environed with city influences as it is, the 'hupper suckles' will observe it with a sheet and pillow cas,e ball. Gold Hill and Jacksonville are the only locali ties advertising Cleveland's day very seriously." Story of a Medford Dairyman By A. D. Crldge in Portland Journal. MEDKOni), Ore., Dec. 13. pno of the most successful men In Jackson county Is J. W. Snider, tho dairyman of Medford. Ho and his wife camo to Oregon' nine years ago from Co lumbus, O., with a capital of $800 for which tboy had both worlcaJ hard. Ho was 30 years old aud sho 1. They ranted 14 acres ot land and started in the dairying business with two cows. Everybody was go ing into fruit at that time, but Snider and his wfo took to cows, supple mented with chickens, turkeys and pigs. The 1-t acrca soon became too small to feed his cows, and tho firm of Snider & Wife bought feed and began to deliver milk to tho .hotels in a wagon. ".My wife," says Snider, "Is tho best milker in Oregon. At different times w,hen I was detained on busi ness sho milked 50 cows herself. Any man who milks 2G cows at a milking Is a good hand. She can do it, and has milked SO on a pinch more than once. "Our first big contract was to sup ply tho dining cars of tho railroad. Wo had to buy milk and cream to keep It up. Wo had to buy cows, too, and that took our shavings. When we left that placo after eight years wo had saved up $10,500, but for u whllo wo had to buy cows and mu-, chlnery nnd feed. Wo contracted for whole fields of carrots and I bought , hay from ono man ono year that! camo to $20,000. Chickens? Well, we got out of tho chicken business after a while, but wo made sumo money from them One time a sud- I on horseback. Wo got those chick oils Into Medford by 3 In tho morning, aud wero up all night, us there was milking to do when wo got homo." Illg PIhco Now. Now tho Snldcrs havo ronted tho W, H. Gore place , of CtO acres nnd havo 150 cows and 75 young heifers. Last Bummor thoy sold 800 tons of hay from their 3C0 acres of alaflfa and kept about the samo amount for feed. This ranch Is rented for $10, 000 a year. It is tho biggest rent for other than a fruit farm in South ern Oregon. Tho value of tho dairy products sold by tho Snldons will pajs $3C,000 this year.

When wo mar ried and camo west wo chose Medford out of nli tho towns wo heard of, and have never felt dissatisfied. We never raised tiny fruit.

We had to havo cows. I need 300 cows on that ranch now.

Soluble Sulphur and Lime Sulphur Compared J'ollowing the ntticlo entitled, "Wlml is Soluble Sulphur!" pub IMiotl in the Medford .Mull Tribune of December 11, there lime come to UiN office i Inrgo. number of to quests for further Information con cerning eompurnlive. cots of uilng the soluble sulphur as iigniiiit the well-known liiue-sulpliur, As previously Muted, Mm soluble sulphur compound is n well-known chemical. odium polysnlphide. It is made by fusing dry sulphur with tlry sodium carbonate nt a certain tem perature, the mas heme afterwards ground or pulvtrind. According to the letters patent, it is staled Mint appniinmtelv equal parts of Mm two ingredients an' ued in making the compound. A lflll-onnd package of the soluble sulphur compound' will, therefore, contain ubotit "ill pound of xiilphur iu combination with the sodium carbonate. . According to the mnnurneturers 101) pounds of sol uble sulphur compound-ndded to fiOO gallons of water will make 511 gal lons of winter pprsiv (dormant prny). Tho rout of 1110 jhmiuiN i $7."i0, to which mnst bo ndded the freight chnrgo from Portland, which is '20 cent per hundred. Therefoie. 511 gallons of sprny readv to appl to the tree- will cost $".711, not eon sidcring nnv added co-t for local handling. It will be seen that the nctunl cost of the material per gal lon, ns npplied to the trees, U 1.5'J5 cents; nnd further, each giillon con tains 0.01)8 pounds of sulphur. The manufacturer"' themelvcv state that "sulphur has nlways been recognized ns the importnnt ingredi ent of spray valuo iu the lime-sul-plmr sprays." Thi U true, and il should alo be recognized ns an im portant ingredient of sprnv value In the soluble sulphur comouid. Since one gallon of tho spray wilt '-oil, 1.525 ccnK nnd since each gallon contains 0.00S pounds of sulphur, it is cns'ilv seen Mint on ft sulpbu' basis the cost of one pound of sul phur is 15.58 cents. Of course, wc know that sodium carbonate is one of the ingredients, but for the sake of what I will bring out Inter, wc nsstimo the totnl cost of the spray on the basis of sulphur alone. A 50-gullon barrel of 311 degree llenume lime-sulphur will cost the fruitgrower 7.50 f. o. b. Medford. If diluted nt the rate of 1 gallon to 8V4 gallons of water, n 50-galn'i barrel of lime-sulphur solution will mako 4C2' gallons of sprny. ''''lis dilution will give tv final density nf about 4.5 degrees llcnn'mc, or 1,0.10 specific gravity, which is the winter or dormant strength ndvocntcd by this office. I.tme-sulpliur solution of .15 degrees Ileaumc test contnins approximated 25.72 per cent sulphur iu combination with the lime, ami each gallon of the diluted lime-sulphur solution will, therefore, Vontnin about 0.3 pounds of sulphur. The cost per gallon of'flie diluted sprnv is 1.022 cents, and since each gal lon contains approximately 0.3 pounds of sulphur, it U ensilv seen that on n sulphur hnsis the cost of one pound of sulphur is 5.47 cents. Lime is used in mnkine; the lime-sul phur, but. ns in the ense of the sol uble sulphur eniniKiiiuil, we are con sidering the cost of the limc-sulpliir on the bnsis of sulphur alone. As shown nbove, the sulphur in the sol uble sulphur compound costs 15,58 cents per pound, while the milphur in the lime-sulphur costs 5,17 cents. In other words, the sulphur in tho sol uhle sulphur compound cos.ts tho grower npproNimatcly three lipics as much ns it docs in tho liiiie-siilphnr. Furthermore, 15.5S cents per pound, sulphur basis, is rather expensive. Tn tanking the nbove comparisons, wc have assumed (hut tho lime-sul' phur be used nt maximum strength If, instead of diluting at tho rate of 1 to 8V4 gallons of water, wo dilute nt tho rato of 1 to 0 gallons of wa ter, the nctunl cost por uallon as ap plied to the trees would bo less than that for Mm soluble sulphur com pound. t Ah shown nbove, n gallon of soiuiiio sulphur compound us ni plied to tho tree, will cost 1.525 cents, while limchiilpliiir, ns applied lo the trif, diluted 1 to 0, will cost 1.50 cents per giillon. Lime-sulphur pf 33 degree llcaumo test, diluted 1 to 0, will contain 0.271 pounds of sulphur per gallon, wlulo soluble sul phur compound diluted according lo directions will contain 0.008 peunds: tho lime-sulphur will, therefore, con tain 2.8 tiiucs as much sulphur as tho soluble sulphur compound, A more direct oompnrison of sol tiblo sulphur compound with limn sulphur solution wil hIiiiw that 100 pounds of soluble sulphur compound contnino 50 pounds of sulphur, while 50 gallons of liino-sulphur solution, 33 degreo Heiiumo (est, contains ','17 John A. Perl UNDERTAKER Lady Assistant 2H H.

Medford, If lime-sulphur had poor fungi cidal or iuseetleldal properties, Ihe greatly increased coM of the sulphur in a jnneh better sprnv would be ad missnble. because icmiIIs ate what the frail grower is nfter. Hut it has not yet been shown that lime-sulphur is so greatly excelled hv nnv othei spray that we should he willing to pay three liinen as much for the sul phur used in other sprnvs. Any spray containing nhfv oiio-thlrd the actual umoiiut of the fungicidal or inwerliciilul element of any other spray containing the same element should he sold on Ihe basis of the relative amount of suoi element. Of course, the ease wiUi which a spray may be handled ns compared with' another spray should ho taken -into consideration. Any spiny which will lednee the cost of handling should lie welcome, nut the selling pi ice should be based upon the actual fun gicide content of the sprny. That the soluble sulphur compound has good iiiscelieidal uud fungicidal properties is not denied; it is more caustic, than the rune-sulphur nnd cannot be used without discretion This point wns brought out in a pre vious atliele. If any of our glow ers wish to use it, it must bo with the understanding Mutt it should be applied earlier than lime-sulphur is usimlly applied; hower, wo will not admit that as good results would lie secured by too early spraying. It is very caustic aud if used loo late in tho senfou there might be some dam age to bearing lives. Young trees. not yet in ben ring would not be so Imblo to injury. It mny bo said iu passing (hut een lime-sulphur will often slightly injure the bark of ig orous shoots, producing a roughened or crauked appearance. This injury Would undoubtedly be increased with a more caustic spray. 1'. d. O'OARA. Pathologist nt Charge. MILLION DAYS LOSI BY .LONDON, Dee. 15.
