Theatrical California, and we frequently have peaches weighing twelve ounces, and have raised those weighing eighteen ounces. Tlie supply of fresh peaches is so much greater than the home demand that the price is merely nominal, and many tons are dried to keep them from spoiling. At Milford alone in 1888, neatly ninety tons of dried fruit were shipped north. Utahs dried fruit market ranges from California to Main; we hare no serious rival. Our dried peeled peaches are in a great demand, we could sell many t'mes our present preduct. We raise many apricots threught tlie Territory. Fears and plums do vety well and are a drag in tlie market, and will continue to be till we have enough canneries to consume our surplus: some of our plums and many of our pears are very large, rivaling those anywhere. Last year, pears were raised here weighing 21 ounces. Our apple crop is enormous: all kinds are raised; we supply most of the great basin with them. Among root crops the potato occupies the first rank, our product being 60,000.000 pounds in 1S88. It is not an uncommon thing to find tubers 6 to 8 inches long and four inches wide, sound to the center and weighing 6 to 8 pounds each. We ship hundreds of carloads to Texas, California, Colorado, St. Louis, Chicago, etc. Sugar beets are to be planted in large quantities this spring and a sugar manufactory established. We excel in all sorts of root crops. Last year mangold wurtzels were raised weighing 48 onpounds. Our turnips, carrots and ions are large, sound, and very productive. We raise many sweet potatoes, and in southern Utah this is assuming a real industry. Our celery is ranked with the veiy best anywhere the price is almost nominal all winter. The salty lands are especially adapted to asparagus: we raise large quantities and could produce unlimited amounts. Rhubarb, radishes, parsnips, parsley, cauliflower, cabbage, lettuce, cliickory, vegetable oysters, beans peas, spinach horseradish, etc. thrive well and enough is raised to more than supply the home demand, but no effort 1ms been made to raise them for export, though this would pay well.

Our tomatoes were canned extensively last year. Our melons are of fine flavor, and so cheap that it hardly pave to haul them ; the making of perserves to to be profitable. Large quan-ie- s ought of pumpkins, squashes, gourds, cucumbers, egg plants, etc., are raised n Utah; a pickle making establishment is soon to be started. The giow-n- g of peanuts is hecom!ng quiet an ndustry in southern Utah. Colton is raised in southern Utah. Last years crop was 80,000 pounds. The yield is 200 to GOO pounds per acre of lint, selling at eleven cents per pound. There is a cotton manufactory in souahern Utah. The agave grows excellently in southern Utah; tlie making of gunny sacks from its fibers would be a profiss ma-ket- table industry.

The finest cherries average twelve cents per quart; cooking cherries six cents per quart. Many are dried and bring good prices. The supply is not equal to the demand. Ground cherries are raised in abun-banc- e, and when dried bring fair prices, The Utah grapes are of very superior flavor; they are raised everywhere, but in southern Utah they are raised in great quantities. The Sultana seedless grape is grown for raisins and produces from three to five thousand pounds per acre of raisins. The St. George raisins exhibited at our late fair were pronounced the best ever brought to thi3 market from any source. The wine and table grapes are also raised there in abundance and shipped northward in quantilies. It is one of tlie prettiest sight in early April to ascend the bench and look down upon the city all ablaze with glowing apricot, peach, apple and other blossoms in countless myriads throughout the valley, as far as the eye can distinguish colors. There are more sheep in Utah than any other kind of stock. The market s overrun with them. There are wool clip last nearly 2,000,000, and the year was 9,000,000 pounds. The grade of sheep is greatly improved over that it was a few years ago, there being many merinos and clostwolds now. The average clip is about six pounds per head. Sheep sell at 92.00 to 92.50 per head for stock, while fat wheath-er- s are nearly double that price. We ship thousands of these to the Chicago market. In southern Utah quantities of paper shell and hard shell almonds are raised. Olives grow well at St. George. Utah has a good grade of horses and annually ships many to Colorado and other eastern places. It is a common remark among new corners that Fro-v-o has more fine horses than any city of its size. Even the livery horses are uniformly good. This is due to tlie great care and expense in importing the best blooded horses for breeding. Our farmers keep up their best stock, both cattle and horses, and feed them with as much care as is done anywhere. Many mules are raised in Utah, which bring good prices. There are many goats raised here, the country seSTns to be specially adapted to them. The hair of the fiper trade of goats ought to be very valuable. We raise thousands of hogs, but not enough to supply the demand. There s no reason why we should not produce enough pork to prevent the importation of any. There is a large amont of poultry raised in Utah, but the market is seldom overstocked. Systematic efforts are being made to raise fish and in every case success follows. Honey is produced in quantities to to supply the demand. The Sanatory advantages of Frovo City are, 1. A distinctly local climate, apparently possesing in a marked degree tlie popular requirments of a high altitude resort. 2. Unexcelled fresh water bathing, tlie peculiarities of which may indicate unusual remedial virtues. 3. A high altitude resort should possess the greatest possible dryness and equability, an elevation of from 8,500 to 8,000 feet, the greatest number of sunshiny days during the year, in which the invalid many enjoy outdoor life, comparative freedom from wind s, a proper temperaand ture, and certain other qualifications not of a purely climatlogical character. First in importance is Dryness. of the air as indicated indryness relative humanity, the versely by air averages 48.9 per lrovo, Citys sand-storm- cent, relative humidity, and consequently lack 51.1 per cent, of saturation. El Faso and Santa Fe are the only places in the United States where observations have been taken where the air has a greater obsorptive capacity than Frovo City. Recent investigation has strengthened the prevaling opinion of the great value of the absorptive and aseptic qualities peculiar to dry air in the treatment of pulmonary deseases. It is well known that warmth and the treatment of pulmonary diseases. It is well known that warmth and moisture favor decomposition and the and generation of lesson the vapor transpiration, Dry air, on the contrary, destroys or rein and out of the tards germ-life- , lungs, and increases the amount exhaled. The moisture thuse exhaled my serve as a veliicle for the removal of effete matter, wasted tissue, and fnicro-organis- ms germs of desease. Dr. Denison, whose original researches have added much to our knowledge of high altitude climates, suggests an ingenious method for calculating the excess of moisture exhaled in a eool dry air over that in a warm moist air. In this calculation Ghtisher's estimate of tlie weight of vapor in grains in air of a given is adopted, and it is assumed dew-poiin exhaled air is that the Is 94 F., and that saturated. Apply , tem-perutu- oe nt this method to the air of Frovo City and Los Angeless, in the case of a good sized man. who, we will suppose, breaches twenty times a minute and thirty inches per breath on an a average, and we find Provos excess in transpiration over Los Angeles to be about four ounces daily. The remarkable aseptic and absorptive properties of the air of Utah Valley unquestionably have a favorable influence in crsity of Deseret, CITY. WAS.
