Editor Of Caieioniom The tourist finds
it easier 10 write of California than does
the resident of few months. The for
mer makes hasty tour of portion of
the state, AMI can easily and briefly note
down his impressions. The latter, after
few months residence in any one sec
ton, finds such variety of landscape and
climate in places but few E.iles apart.
that it becomes difficult to convey cor
rect impressions of sections of country,
example, description of the climate Of
that portion of the state which stretches
from San Francisco, south fifty miles.
TO san Jose QIo-zay) would involve a de-
scripion of the climates of San Francis
co, san Mateo, Redwood and San Jose.
The winds and fogs which prevail exten-
sivcly at San Francisco are very rare at
this place. The summers at this place
are said 10 be warmer and more delight
ful than at San Francisco, yet not op-
pressivc as at Sacramento and through
out the southern part OF the state. For
some facts regarding the climate of San
Francisco | am indebted to Lansleys
Directory for 1870.
The coolest weather ever known in
San Francisco, was in 1854. when the
mercury fell to % degrees in the night,
and was at 81 degrees at midday. The
hottest weather ever known there was in
Sept, 1852, when the mercury reached
9S. There have been but two davs
since when the mercury reached 90 de-
grees. Twice only in the history of the
city has the ground been covered with
snow, and then only measured two or
three inches. September is the hottest
month OF the year October next. The
first rains cannot always be regarded as
the beginning of the rainy season, as
these sometimes come in Sept. and Oc-
tober, while the rainy season does not
begin till November or December The
rainy season ends usually early in April,
but for ten years past there has been
rain in May, and in 1868 rain fell on
the 23d Of June. The middle of Janu-
airy Is considered the dividing point in
the rainy season. 1t requires from sew
en- to ten inches in the coast counties,
distributed very evenly, to insure mod

The Farm ana the !SchOOirOOm

The following essay was read before
the Farmers Club, at their festival in
this place the 22d, by Mr.. HENRY c..
IDE.
There is hardly another subject ap-
propriate TO come before this meeting
upon which | should have felt in the
least competent to speak. But the ed
ucation suitable for the ms of Vermont
farmers is a theme upon which every
citizen feels an interest, ard | am clad
OF an opportunity to add my word to
that Of many others. When George
Peabody WIS founding one of the first
"t his noble educational enterprises, he
prop psed this toast, ''Education. the
duty thlt the present generation owes to
the future" That duty the farmers of
Vermont as class feel, but it is TO be
feared that they do not feel it with the
depth and earnestness that the impor-
tancc OF the subject warrants. Thev
are cOiftented with too poor schools and
with too little time given to them. In
former years the ability 10 ''cipher'' as
far AS the ''rule Of three" was regarded
as an accomplishment, and our good ma
tron thought that if her daughter got as
far as the ''rulc of two she would do
for farmers wife. Though improve
ment Is being made from year to year
in this respect, yet a false view of econ
omy and the desire for immediate wealth
are too apt to keep the boy and girl plod-
ding at home. But we should remember
that large or even lavish expenditure in
this direction is true economy. Many
town expends more money in law suit
to get rid of a pauper family than would
have thoroughly educated the head of the
family and made him an ornament to the
state Look in your prisons and see how
ignorant the great majority of the crimi-
mails are. 1t costs the state of New York
four times as much to support her crimi-
nal courts as to educate her children.

an unusually dry one in the state. Ii
this vicinity enough has fallen thus ia
to lead the farmers to expect fair crop
but much less has fallen at San Jose
twenty miles south of here, and in til,
southern counties there is already such q
drought that many cattle have died, anC
the farmers are almost helpless for the
future. January is considered the mosi
decisive month. At this point there
we're 20 clear days, rainy, showery,
the remainder being cloudy. Further
south no rain fell. AT this point the
grass and grain are very green, trees are
beginning TO put forth their buds, and in
some cases display their leaves: almond
trees are in full bloom, wild flowers have
alread appeared, and much of the wea-
thcr during this month has been like that
OF May at home. Nor is this weather
enervating as mild winter weather is at
the East; with few exceptions the days
are invigorating, and tie nights are al
ways good for sleep.
