THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



peaches. They have never yet failed to earn good 

 returns. Prunes make a very promising crop. They 

 grow very rapidly and produce prodigiously here. 

 Olives are a coming thing and bid fair to earn large 

 returns when the art of handling them is well under- 

 stood. The best plan is to plant several kinds of 

 fruit, so that all the eggs will not be in one basket. 



COLONIES TO BE MADE. 



Kern county is, of course, a new country. It re- 

 mains largely to be developed. The land, the cli- 

 mate and the soil are there, but human industry can 

 alone work out the problem of development. Enough 

 has been done to show the capabilities of the soil. 

 No portion of California will be more beautiful than 

 this when the ranches which have formerly been 

 farmed in thousands of acres shall have been divided 

 and populated. Several attractive colonies are un- 

 der way. 



ONE IMPORTANT ADVANTAGE. 



There is one very great advantage which every 

 home-seeker ought to take into account in comparing 

 Kern county with land propositions elsewhere. This 

 is the fact that he is dealing with a company having 

 abundant financial means to carry out its program of 

 improvement. If it agrees to expend a certain 

 amount of money in giving a new colony advantages 

 superior to those enjoyed elsewhere, the thing will be 

 done. The owners of the property are men of high 

 repute and they have the money to carry out their 

 ideas and agreements, no matter what happens. 

 Many settlers have been deluded by promises that 

 could not be fulfilled, simply because the people 

 making them did not realize returns as quickly as ex- 

 pected and were therefore unable to do as they 

 agreed. No such disappointment will ever arise in 

 the case of the settlers in the Kern Delta colonies. 



FREE EXCURSIONS TO CALIFORNIA. 



Thousands of people are looking for homes in Cali- 

 fornia. The Kern County Land Company has its 

 offices and agents all over the East and in Europe. 

 It offers free excursions to those who purchase lands. 

 Parties who contemplate going to California should 

 address S. W. FERGUSSON, AGENT, BAKERSFIELD,

Buckingham's Dye for the Whiskers can be applied 

 when at home, and is uniformly successful in color- 

 ing a brown or black. Hence its great popularity. 



A new method of mining, milling roatting and smelting 

 different kinds of ores has been successfully demonstrated in 

 Germany and is now being introduced with unprecedented suc- 

 cess. The slow and cumbersome methods heretofore employed 

 will be discarded, and the cost of various ores in treatment or 

 conversion into metal, especially Lead, Zinc and Silver Ores, 

 Nickel, Cobalt and Copper, greatly reduced. All the matte of 

 the latter, which was heretofore sent to Germany, is now being 

 refined in the United States. THE HARTSPELD GERMAN 

 MINING SYNDICATE, of NEWPORT, KY., invites corre- 

 spondence. (See their advertisement.)

"For Years," 



Says CARRIE E. STOCKWELL, of Chester- 

 field, N. H., "I was afflicted with an 

 extremely severe pain in the lower part of 

 the chest. The feeling was as if a ton 

 weight was laid 

 on a spot the size 

 of my hand. Dur- 

 ing the attacks, the 

 perspiration would 

 stand in drops on 

 my face, and it was 

 agony for me to 

 make sufficient 

 effort even to whis- 

 per. They came 

 suddenly, at any 

 hour of the day or 

 night, lasting from 



thirty minutes to 

 half a day, leaving as suddenly; but, for 

 several days after, I was quite pros- 

 trated and sore. Sometimes the attacks 

 were almost daily, then less frequent. After 

 about four years of this suffering, I was 

 taken down with bilious typhoid fever, and 

 when I began to recover, I had the worst 

 attack of my old trouble I ever experienced. 

 At the first of the fever, my mother gave 

 me Ayer's Pills, my doctor recommending 

 them as being better than anything he 

 could prepare. I continued taking these 

 Pills, and so great was the benefit derived 

 that during nearly thirty years I have had 

 but one attack of my former trouble, which 

 yielded readily to the same remedy."
