by the alfilleria, or native grass. 1t gives
the pastures light green, with u tinge of
| yellow, and soft to the eye as Turkish
carpet, rejecting with peculiar loneliness
the light of the sun. Growing quite high,
it still has smooth, lawn-like appearance.
The wild mustard grows as high as a mans
head in this strange land, when you face the
mountains you see their sides covered with
yellow bloom. In May and June the whole
of the San Jose Valley is covered with
lovely flowers. The brilliant yellow and
orange of the eschschaltsa, or California
poppy, and the tender blue and white of the
lupine, line the roads, covering the fields in
broad masses. The roses grow in great
masses, free from disease, of a size and
depth of color unknown east of the Missis-
sippi.
Highly cultivated farms in the San Jose
Valley grow the pomegranate the fig, the
almond, and many Towering shrubs, which
are strangers TO us, brought from Japan,
China and Australia. There are a number
OF new varieties of evergreens. The Aus
tralian green is one of these and is favo-
rite tree in all parts of California. In a
single season it has made growth of fif-
teen feet. OF blush green foliage, it
contrasts finely with the lonely mountain
cypress. Recently, doctors of medicine
have discovered that the leaf contains Won
derful medicinal qualities and the various
preparations are being introduced into al
lopathic practice. 1t is supposed to be
good for malaral fevers, disease of the
throat, &c. The leaf is very rcsinous, burn
ing like a pitch pine knot.
In the Southern country, as at Los
Angels, may be seen one of the most beau
tiful objects in nature-orange orchards in
full bearing. At Santa Barbara there are
groves of olive and almond. At the old
mission, near San Diego, there are several
date palms, and the oldest olive grove in
the State. Fruit trees bear earlier than in
the East; the second year from planting
the pit, the peach bears peck. At five
years the apple gives crop. The curculio
is unknown; the cherry has no knots; no
fruit is as yet diseased. In one orchard in
California may be seen apple, peach, pear,
cherry, ounce, plum, ncctorinc, pomegran-
ate, fig, orange lemon, lime, almond, olive,
English walnut, and apricot trees. Such
are some of the trees and flowers of our
land of ncver-ending Summer.

Hay Making.

The Grass crop of this, as of many other
counties is the most important of its annu-
al products requiring large area of land
and furnishing the principal food for cattle
and horses. The actual Hay Crop of the
United States is estimated at about 40 .O0O.-
900 tons. Estimating the value of a ton

CURED by one great diversity of soil.
AS Tor Hay making, think as general
tnlhg grass Is cut two weeks too late, and
the hay is greatly damaged thereby, and
the soil greatly exhausted, it being well
known TACT that allowing plant to 90 to
seed draws hardly on the soil A crop of
grass cut when the earliest blossoms begin
to fall, will not exhaust the soil half as
much as ifcut two weeks later.
Grass fully ripe when cut has lost half
us nutrltlYe qualities. The fact that our
farmers are generally short handed
Throughout harvest will explain why so
much grass is cut too late. From the time
grass falls under the Mower it ought to
be kept in motion until placed in the
NOW. In any sunny hot day the timothy
grass cut in the morning should be put
in the NOW or stack by night, and what
IS cut after dinner ought be left one
night in cocks, even if it has to be opened
out in the morning
Clover hay requires more time to cure
than timothy and if caught out in n rain
after being dried is ruined. I saw near
Boston field of about 80 acres of clover.

The saving of Hungarian Grass ia n

to be many, of which l will state few
which give it, in my estimation, its great
ess superiority over straw. 1t is much
cleaner and more easily arranged; and, of
course, much cheaper at first cost, making,
in the end, excellent manure. 1t is pecr-
liarly beneficial to the feet, affording them
n cool, porous stuffing substitute for the
soil of earth we always find in the hoofs
of a horse at grass, and presents the near
est resemblance to the horses natural foot
ing the earth. We never had diseased
foot since the introduction of sawdust in
the stable, now some years since. Horses
bedded on sawdust are freer from dust and
stain than when in ordinary litter simply
because sawdust is better absorbent, per-
haps, and testify their approval of it by
frequently lying down for hours in the day.
1t has also the recommendation of being
UNBEATABLE = an advantage which all in
charge of horses with the habit of eating
their litter will admit.
