Instructive Address tothe Farmers' Institute In Session at Hanford. Special Dispatch to THE CALL HANFORD, Dec. 10.—The Farmers’ In- stitute of Kings County met here to-dsy for a two days’ session. There was a large attendance and much interest was taken 1n the work. The leading agricul- tural interests of the county were well represznted, and among the visitors were Professor D. T. Fowler and ¥. J. Bioletti of the agricultu department of the State Unaversi at Berkeley; A. J. Filcher, secretary of the State Board ot Irade; John 8. Dore of the Fresno Farm- | ers’ Ciub, Miss M.

Porter, president of the Kings County Farmers’ Club, who delivere: an | address of welcome, which was responded to by Professor D. T. Fowler of Berkeley. Mr. Fowler spoke briefly of the objects of the institute and the good to be accom- plished by it. He said that there were more problems of agriculture to be e ploited in California than in any otber part of the United States. Somethir new was being demonstrated cvery day, and it was the duty of the farmer 10 kecp touch with 1odern methods. | V. Sharp of this city delivered an in- teresting and instructive address on the subject, **Fertilization,” which called forih considerable comment. >rofessor Fowler spoke on the “Re tion of Farmers' Institutes to the Univer- sity.” He explained the methods pur- sued by the university and the advantage ined by the tarmers from the knowiedge which was gathered and put before them at that time. He said that more interest | was being taken in the work every year. | In the afternoon the audience was au mented by the students of the high school, who take quite an interest in agri- cultural work. C. V. Parks read an a ticle on *How to Cure California Bacon as Good as Eastern Bacon.” This was lowed by a paper on “Silo and writ by Miss M. D. Esbeiman This was a very able paper and w printed and circulated. J. A. Filciier, manager of the ifornia State Board of Trade and late commi-- sioner to the Hamburg Expositio ad- dressed the ihstituie on the question of foreign markets for California iruit He cisimed that our fruits were generally superior 10 the foreign product; that the trad» in Germany became greatly inter- ested in them; thatit was no trcuble to tind there importers who were anxu us to handle California goods, and that the de- mand for this State’s fruits by reason of the Hamburz work had been very greatly stimulated. He sald some claimed that by 1esson of this new demand th price of California’s dried truis increased to the amount of }; cent pound. This, the speaker thouzat, m be an excessive estimate, but if that work had resulted in an sverage increase one mill a pound on the aggre dried fruit ou:put of tie State it awount to $150 000 to the State, a i at a cost ol $6000.

The Hamburg work in this line was only a beginning, he said, but 12 had been so successful that it should seive as a stimulus to other and greater efforts. No market was so remote but that we might enter with an assured hope of sell- ing some, atleast, of our superior products, AGGOSED OFFICIALS FOUND NOT GUILTY creat here | THOUSANDS LOST 10 SAN JOSE in City Collector Lax the Gathering of Licenses.

No Sickness cf stomachy | N0 YOMILAE ; 1O COSLIVERCSS ; o Yes, T am a chemist, and as a chemist T had an engagement for two seasoms at Boothbay Harbor in Maine, a place where we took in fish scraps and other refuse and turned out bags of fertilizer, the first smelling about as bad as it could and the transformed substance I thought gave out an odor that was a little worse. I dpn’t know that the smells had anything to do with upsetting my stomach, but I came away from that place with about the worst digestive apparatus I ever knew about and it was complicated with insomhia. When I did sleep I was not much refreshed. With a headache every moming, little sleep and no appetite for food, I lost twenty-five pounds in weight and my friends said my disposition was worse than my physical appearance. It was by the recommendation of a member of my own family that T first used Ripans Tabules, but the result was satisfactory and immes diate. I soon gained in weight all I had lost and added three pounds more, and never in my life was my appetite better or my sleep more sound and refreshing than now. My daughter, who was troubled with a distress after eating, took some of the Tabules on my recommendation and says she thinks they are splendid. We are both, well now.
