Adm AND BIG VALLEY.-Mr E. La

Adm AND BIG VALLEY-Mr E. Lau.
er informs us that times are lively in Adm
and the prospects ahead cheering. There
is great deal of activity among the farm
ers of the surrounding country, and there
will be large acreage sown to grain the
present season. Oats and barley are worth
about 81 cents, and wheat from to a.
We are satisfied that Big Valley, from our
observation as we passed through it last
fall, has an almost unlimited capacity for
agricultural products All that is required
to make it one of the most productive and
prosperous valleys of the State is popula
ton and market for its surplus products.
1t has an immense area of the most fertile
soil, while its climate of this place. 1t is
possible, the winter may be slightly colder,
and frosts may continue little later in the
spring, and commence little earlier in the
fill. But the climate is, without doubt,
we'll suited to the production OF all cereals,
all the harder vegetables, and most if not
all, the fruits grown in this part of the
country We can conceive of but one dis
advantage under which it labors. One
drawback to a permanent and bOundless
prosperity. That is its remoteness from an
adequate market. At present, the settlers
have, mostly but recently, arrived, and at
best, are sparse. OF course, productions is
ye. in its nciplency Agriculture has
hardly been able yet to meet the home de-
mand for its products. But this will not
continue after those already there, and 9TH
ers soon to come, get their lands fenced
and under cultivation. So far the coun
try has had nothing to export, except cat
tie, which can be taken long distance at
a comparatively small expense But no
country can ever become either very veal
thy or very populous which has no exports
but beef cattle iattened on the range -
The raising of beef cattle and stock, as an
adjunct of agriculture, is material onsid
Grafton, and adds immeasurcably to the
wealth of individuals and TIE prosperity of
communities. And We know of no coun-
try in which the farmers will possess great
er fac lites for combining stock raising with
the cultivation of the soil than in Big Val
ley. The valley is skirted on all sides
with rolling hills Thich are unfit for cult.

bunch grass grows 10 great luxurilnce The
cultivator of farm in the valley by Sc
curing range of stock in tue adjacent
hills, will be able to maintain extensive
and profitable herds at slight cost. No
doubt the valley, as it is, offers great in
ducemeuts to Immigrants, particularly to
such as are able to provide themselves with
few head of stock. And with a con
vicnent market, for all the surplus produce
which the valley would yield, if all the
good arabic land were under cultivation,
it would offer greater inducements to set
tiers than any portion Of the Pacific coast.
What has been said above is about equally
true of, aud applicable to the other valleys
in the eastern portion of this country. to
