THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



man to obtain a small farm. Alfalfa grows prodig- 

 iously. Furthermore, railroad transportation is close 

 at hand and the distance to be covered not great. 

 The result will be that from their alfalfa fields alone 

 the farmers of Kern county will enjoy signal pros- 

 perity in this year of almost universal depression. 



It would be a pity to allow this opportunity to pass 

 without directing attention to this phase of the 

 industry in Kern county. In years when there is no 

 drouth anywhere the system of farming pursued there 

 brings large returns, but in years when other com- 

 munities are stricken the people of this locality enjoy 

 large prosperity from the growing of the simplest 

 crops. 



Kern county shares with the rest of California the 

 glorious climate which has made the State famous. 

 Lands range in price from $60 to $75 per acre. As 

 already said, the terms of payment are moderate. 

 Settlers have been going into the country very 

 rapidly this spring, and the tide is sure to continue 

 during the summer, and will swell to a tremendous 

 volume next winter. This means, of course, growing 

 land values. This is the time to buy a home in that 

 country. For further particulars address S. W 

 Fergusson, agent, Bakersfield, California. 



E. L. Lomax, the general passenger agent of the 

 Union Pacific railway, has prepared a book describ- 

 ing the progress of irrigation along their lines. The 

 book is most carefully compiled, and gives the latest 

 and most valuable information obtainable. Mr. 

 Lomax is a wide-awake, active friend of irrigation. 



Dandruff is an exudation from the pores of the 

 scalp that spreads and dries, forming scurf and caus- 

 ing the hair to fall out. Hall's Hair Renewer cures it. 



A new method of mining-, milling roasting 1 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 

 conrersion 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 beinsr 

 refined in the United States. THE HARTSFELD GERMAN

"For Years," 



Says IARRIE 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 

 I agony for me to 

 make sufficient 

 effort even to whig, 

 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 

 Fills, 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."
