The remarkable aseptic and absorptive properties of the air of Utah Valley unquestionably have a favorable influence in cases of surgery. Atmospheric Pressure. In regard in altitude Provo City is located immediately at the foot of a range of mountains, and the health seeker is thereby enabled to select any altitude from 4300 to 8000 feet above the sea level, as may be best suited to liis particular case. Or he may vary it as the progress of the case demands, and still be near enough to the city and to Utah Lake to enjoy all of their advantages. In rare caseB where a still higher altitude is desirable, it may be had, but at u greater distance from the city. Pair J)ayn. Provo City bus an average of 277 fair days in the year, of the the remaining 88 days there are very few in which the sun does not shine a part of the day. The records of the Signal office for fourteen years show that we have the equivalent of 50.1 full cloudy days in the year, and no more; about one day in a week. Wind.1 The total movement of the winds is 45,599 miles per year, average hourly velocity 5.2 miles prevailing direction from the north north-wes- t. The reply to climate therapeutist who has demanded dryness and equability combined, has been, You ask that which is impossible. But it is not impossible, since Provo City possesses this combination, beyond any question. For Spring, Autumn, and Winter, when great daily range is most harmful, the mean is 18.67. It is greatest, to wit, 24.3"', in summer, when the temperature is high at the lowest, and when great diurnal range is agreeable and beneficial rather than unpleasant and harmfull. The hot months are witliouth doubt the liealtisst months. The moutain protection on the east and the presence of 2000 square miles of salt water on the northwest, undoubtedly have much to do in producing his distinctly local climate. There is comparative freedom from high winds, and an lntire absence of cyclones and hurricanes. High winds, like variability, have hitherto been regarded as necesssry. evils of high and very dry places; in other words it is the received opinion that places sufficiently sheltered by mountains to be protected from the winds can not be very dry. Provo City may be the exception that proves the rule; the city is certainly an exception- - if such is the rule. V - i ss Of M. Mickelson, - The flavor of Utah Valley fruit has a national reputation, and justly so. We say unhesitatingly that the flavor of our peaches is superior to those of California, and we frequently liavC peaches weighing twelve ounces, and have raised those weighing eighteen ounces. The supply of fresh peaches is so much greater than the home des mand that the price is merely nominal, and many tons are dried to keep them from spoiling. Af Milford alone in Ifiss, neaily ninety tons of dried fruit were shipped north. Utah s dried fruit market ranges from California to Main; we have no serious rival. Our dried peeled peaches are in a great demand, we could sell many times our present product. We raise many apricots tlpoiight the Territory. Fears ami plums do very well and are a drag in the market, and w ill continue to be till we have enough canneries to consume our surplus: some of our plum 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 t lie great basin with them. Among root crops the potato occupies the first rank, our product being 60.(KH).000 pounds in lSSSi It is not an uncommon thing to find tubers ft to 8 inches long and four inches wide, sound to the center and weighing ( to 8 pounds each. We ship hundreds of carloads to Texas, California, Colorado, St. Louis. Chicago, etc. Sugar beets are to he 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 4S po&nds. Our turnips, carrots and onions are large, sound, and very productive. We raise many sweet potatoes, and in boiithciii Utah this is assuming a real industry. Our celeiy is ranked with the veiy best anywheie 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, chickory, vegetable oysters, beans peas, spinach horseradish, , etc. thrive well, and enough is raised to more than supply the home demand, but no effort has been made to raise them for export, though this would pay well. Large tomatoes are quantities of lirst-claraised annually. Till recently we have had no canning establishment in the Territory, but now there are two and room for more, to consume all our surplus products. Our tomatoes were canned extensively last year. Our melons are of line flavor, and so cheap that it hardly pays to haul them to maiket; the making of perserves ought to be profitable. Large qualities of pumpkins, squashes, gourds, cucumbers, egg plants, etc., are raised in Utah; a pickle making establishment is soon to be started. The glowing of peauuts is becoming quiet an industry in southern Utah. Colton is raised in soutnern Utah. Last year's crop was K0.0IM1 pounds. The yield is 200 to 000 pounds per acre of lint, selling at eleven cents There is a cotton manufacin smialiern Utah. tory The agave grows excellently hi southern Utah; the making of gunny sacks from its libers would be a profitable industry.

In cherry time. Salt Lake yards are rubby witli fruit. The finest cherries average twelve cents per quart; cooking cherries six cents per quart. Many an dried and bring good prices. The supply is not equal to the demand. Ground chcrics are raised in abun bailee, and when dried bring fair prices. The Utah grapes are of very superior flavor; they are raised everywhere, hut in southern Utah they are raised in great quantities. The Sultana seedless grape is grown for raisins and produces from three to live thousand pounds per acre of raisins. The St. (Jeorge raisins exhibited at our late fair were pronounced the best ever brought to this market from any source. The wine aiul table grapes are also raised there in abundance ami shipped northward in quantities. It is one of the prettiest sight in early the- bench and look April to ascend down upon-'lh- e 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 morn sheep in Utah than any other kind of stock. The market overrun with them. There are nearly 2,U00.(00. and the wool clip last year was 9,(HH),(MK) 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 $2.00 to $2.50 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 ami hard shell almonds are raised. Olives grow well at St. George. Utah has a good grade of horses and inuually ships many to Colorado and ol her eastern places. It is a common remark among new comers that l'ro-v- o lias .more fine horses than any city of its size. Even the livery horses an1 uniformly good. This is due to the 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 mywliere. Many mules are raised in Utah, hicli bring good prices. There are many goats raised here, the country seems to be specially adapted to them. The liair of the fiper grade of goats ought to he very valuable. We raise thousands of bogs, but not nough to supply the demand. There w should not pro- , below G. W. SHORES, M.

With an annual aver- age mean of 51.53, an average monthly range of 47.5. and an average daily range of 20.P, Provo City has an exceptionally cool and equable climate. Possessing the advantages of seasonal changes in temperure, these changes are so gradual and the air so dry that neither the cold of winter nor the heat of summer produce the unpleasant effects which they otherwise might. On the slopes and in the canons of the adjacent mountains, in close proximity and convenient to the city, are places where the invalid may And both altitude and coolness during the months of July and August should an average of 75.6 be found too warm. From 1863 to 1888 Inclusive there were but 21 days on whicli the thermometer read below zero, and but five or six years in which it rose above 1(MP F. A very rare if not unique feature in climate of Utah Valley is its equability, as shown by a mean daily range of about 2(P. Equability has been regarded as belonging exclusively to low and humid regions, and 'variability as a distinguishing attribute of all high and very dry places. Mr. Brice says: It becomes a matter fur careful study to determine wherein lies the happy mean between dry climates with great daily lange, and moist climates witli small dzily range of temperature. Other authorities are equally conclusive that equability is incompatible with great dryness. PAYSON NEWS. Hielloom Coming to tho Key City South of Us. 3, 18-9Q- .
