THE CALIFORNIA ELECTIoN.-The
election of Wednesday in California
proves to have been sweeping victory
for the Republicans Of the State, and for
the friends of municipal reform in San
Francisco, The Republican State ticket,
headed by Newton Booth for Governor
has been elected by majority of about
1000, the Republicans are sure of suf,
ficient majority in the Legislature TO
elect a successor to Senator Cole, whose
term expires in 1878 ; and they have also
elected two of the three representatives. 10
Congress, il indeed they have not secured
them all. The present delegation con-
sists of two democrats and one republican.
but it is certain that the latter party has
elected Aaron w. Sargent and John W.
Coghlap, its candidates in the second and
third districts, while it il possible that S.
o. Houghton, the Republican candidate
in the first district, bas also been chosen.
In San Francisco the Taxpayers ticket,
put in nomination by the friends of muni-
eipsl reform without distinction to party,
was successful, with the exception Of the
candidate for recorder.

The profit will be seen to be 50 cent
per basket. An average yield is ga
baskets for an acre. which will net tn,
owner $37906. Compare these fgurel
with other branches Of agriculture.
The following estimate was made b,
DR.. L. P. Haskill, an educated aud scien.
tific pomologist, and prominent fruit
grower of this place. in communica
ton To the 7rGoeJer, as to what ten acre
fruit farm was worth:
Ten acres get as foilows-six acres
peaches $50 trees ) one acre pears, plums
and cherries, $50 trees;) one acre straw.
berries, one acre raspberries, and one acre
blackberries--can be thoroughly taken
care of by one man. Wages $40 per
month, for seven months-$2S0. One
horse will do all the cultivating and take
the fruit to market. Such farm. all in
be4ring, with house, barn etc, can be had
at from $500 to 81 900 per acre, according
to locality and character of improvements,
and it will pay from 90 to 30 per cent on
the latter investment.
Let me give you a few instances cited
in Mr.. D. A. Winslow's History of St.
Jo," published in 1869, of the profits of
fruit raising
In 1859, the Cincinnati orchard 100
acres ell to peaches) was leased for four
years for $4,000. That year the leasors
cleared $l7, 500 on their crop.
Mr.. U. Osborn, from one and a quarter
acres of strawberries, sold $50 bushels for
$500; used 30 bushels, and lost 100 bush
els for want of pickers.
Mr.. G. Drupstein, from three-fourths of
an acre, on which is a small house, 70
pc oh trees, and 80 grape vines, sold 1O7
bushels of strawberries for $437.
From two and one-half acres of peaches
DIR. Collins, in 1869, realized over $1,000.
Mr.. Grady, from three-eights of an
acre of Strawberries, s1ld IS bushels for
$500.
In 1865, Mr.. George Parmlee, from Al
early Crawford peach trees, raised a few
basketa over 100: sold for So per basket
amounting to $4,000. The trees were 20
feet apart, which puts 100 trees in an acre

The Michigan Peach Bolt.
ST. JOSEPH. MICH Sent 4.

ST. JOSEPH, MICH Sept. T.
Editor Rutland Herald: AS this sec
tion of Michigan is attracting considerable
attention at present, little concerning ii
may possess interest for many of your
readers.
The whole western coast Of this State,
from st. Joseph to Grand Haven, and
some even claim as far as Grand Traverse,
Is very superior fruit region, famous as
the Peach Belt" Considering the lati.
tude, the climate is quite remarkable.
Spring opens about April 1st, cool and
pleasant, approaching warm weather
gradually and softly fer frnit Even in
July and August the air is fresh and
bracing, and sultry days are scarcely
known. The autumns are long and particu-
larly delightful. Last year there was no
frosts but of slight character till the latter
part of November. These results, as you
are aware, are produced by the lake. The
cold water, in early spring, saves US from
premature warm weather, so fatal to frost,
while the summer-heated water prolongs
our sutumna, and preserves us from early
frosts.
The soil is sandy loan, underlaid in
places with light red clay. from which q
brick, similar in quality and color to the
Milwaukee brick, is manufactured. Fruits
of all kinds can be raised here success
fully. Berries are raised of superb size.
There is basket of early Crawfords with
in reach of my hand of from ten to twelve
inches in Observation-Disclosures less than
ten, and this is not uncommon. This fruit
district is not confined to st. Joseph, but
extends northward; but it is generally
conceded that the value OF land decreases
as you pass north of what is called the
st. Joseph region. The more hardy fruits
are raised with success at any point on
the eastern shore but this immediate
vicinity is the only point that peaches
and other delicate varieties can be relied
on with tolerable surety, and here there
has been but two total failures in thirty
years-the winters of 1864 and 1865. The
peach region extends back from the
lake from four to six miles, varying at
different points, and this narrow strip Of
of land, one hundred miles in length, by
five broad, comprises the great fruit
region.
To give you some idea of the profits of
fruit rising, I give the following statis-
tics: Early in the spring strawberries
sell in Chicago for 25 cts. box, each box
being, by the superstitious, supposed to
contain quart. The average price
throughout the berry season is 10 cts q
quart, or $3.50 per bushel.
