IRRIGATION IN CALIFoREIA.--IIorace Greeley
10 his address at the Marysville District Fair,
said:
"Among the deficiencies Of agricultural adap-
tation 10 California WAS the apparent ignora0c
o. the people Of the fact that the land may be
cultivated without irrigation; that is to say,
that where water is diricult TO get, deep plow-
ing will make 1t sufficiently moist to answer all
the purposes Of an abundant supply Of water.
Niue-tenths Of the now dry and infertile lands
in this State, be had 20 doubt could be made
productive by deep subsoiIing He had seen,
indeed, fair illustration of the truth of this
proposition 10 the example set by farmer OF
bis acquaintance somewhere below. This farm
er bad raised large crops upon land where there
was no water, by simply plowing deep. Sub
soil your ground, replow, kill out the weeds,
render your soil light and porous, and there
will be moisture enough TO answer all the enda
desired Indeed, 1t was bis opinion that farm
ers used far too much water in this country
anyhow. They destroy their trees or demoral.
ize them by incessant applications Of water.
Beware Of teaching your trees to be wholly un-
able to do without large quantities Of water.
II ruins them, and whole orchards go to prema-
ture decay. The grandest agriculture may
grow up ia State. IL sgrie1lturists will only
consider the character OF the soil they are cul-
tivating. adapt their processes to It, instead OF
considering the nature of soils altogether diff

be capable Of producing more metal than is
now produced from all other sources. A gen.
tleman writing upon the subject Of the quick.
silver mines in California, has no doubt that
1000 tons Of metal night be annually extracted
from the New Almaden mine. This would be
500 tons more than the annual aggregate yield
of the mines 10 other countries. When we re-
collect that the famous Almaden mine in Spain
is known to have been worked two thousand
six hundred years, we must all agree that the
quicksilver mines of California bid fair to be
inexhaustible. The demand for quicksilver,
we are told, will be 10 exact proportion to the
progress Of civilization. "The uses OF this
metal will be multiplied in the same ratio as
the arts are extended and increased. ."-Narys-
