,r are in the midst Of the finest wint'
: weather ever saw--it seems almoi
j. pleasant TO excess. We have bee
here nearly nine months, and ca
soy that I never passed such beau
i tiful summer and winter weather J
@ my life. We have had but one littl
b lsnow storm this winter, and then NJ
D moro than a white frost for few mi
D nutcs. The grass here at the first o
I February, was better than ] cvjr saw
q in any country on the 6rst Of May
and to-day the stock in our pasture
are basking on the hill sides will
plenty Of green grass one foot high
and tho weather is warm enough Il
induce them TO hunt the shade in th,
middle of the day. You would nntu
rally think that IL would be oppres
sivcly hot during summer, when il !,
so warm in winter, and so IL Is, when
you go back far enough from the coast
TO lose the benefit of the sea breeze.
| always wear from one to two woolen
shirts, and many a day, / drove on a
reaper last harvest with my coat and
vest both on for tho most part Of the
day, and did not feel uncomfortnbly
warm. There is one thing, how.
ever, that VIC never have in any part
Of California, aud that is warm sui.
(try nigh,s-OlwOys cool enough tc
slcecp under heavy pair Of woolcr
blankets. The hills have been cover
cd with flowers for month past, an'
| notice to-day, whcro flowers are ri
e pcning and falling of to seed. Al
a kinds of timber, that is not evergreen
: is lcafng out very fast--Christma
D day | saw roses in blossom. Itwoul,
} astouish you to go to the market n
tho city, aud see the thousands o
vegetables. We have already planted
potatoes, for early, &c, &c. Thou
sands aud thousands of birds, such as
blue birds, rol bins and meadow larks,
have been hopping aud singing over
! the hills for month past, and to-da.
everything looks like May in Ohio
have sowcd about 20 acres of whoa
and barley, and il looks we'll. louni
chickens all over the country in a
abundance. II was hard to make yo
and Mr.. lIoxTER believe that Jack
grew to the height of IL hands, unit
you saw one, and then it was the on
sicst matter in the world and, so i
Ia with the benefits and beauties o
this country, II Is no use to try ia
give any one a correct idea, for before
ono can tell one half of the Whoh
truth, they begin to got incrcdulous
aud then doubt il all 80 the best
thing,to do is to stop while your credit
is good. have set out 100 apple
trees and thirty othor fruit trees
Trees here, in three years after sot-
ting, will bear more fruit than in : or
s in Ohio. | have known n peach
tree to bear half bushcl Of peaches,
and only three years from the timc Of
planting tho seed. * *
* Il This is the most plcaant
and healthy climate in tho world,
and as rich an agricultural section as
can anywhere be found aud, you
might say the market is almost unc
qualod; and when those three attri-
butcs are combined in one country, |
do not believe there is much risk in
emigrating to it, neither is it a bad
place to take capital, for money at the
lowest, is worth twelve per cent, pei
annum, aud quite frequently eighteen
and twenty-four per cent, per annum.
l have oiteu wished you was here
with your family, living near us
there is great opportunity to mak'
money dealing in stock there is al
abundance OF pasture here to recrui
and hold on to stock, and take q it'll,
advantage Of the ruling prices of th'
market. There are thousands ofshcel
and hundreds of cattle drove past GU
place every month all kinds of stool
running out all winter, has been ia
all tho time The new grass com
mcnces growing in the fall season, AZ
soon as it commences to rain. v
Il y The market is sucl
here, that even raising poultry is I
good busiuess-there is no chance oi
Cutting the market--eggs are woril
