Soil

The soil is an exceedingly fertile loan, and
is, without exception, the richest and most
productive in Southern California. Its vicin-
ity to the ocean insures a crop without irrga-
ton. Excellent wheel has been raised for the
last two years upon the hills adjoining the
ocean. This wheat field contains 1000 acres
and covers the lightest soil upon the Rancho.
There is no alkali or barren land.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-12-12
Sheep.

A flock of about $4,000 sheep will be kept
undivided, to save expenses to the share
holders. This will give about thirty sheep to
each share. The sheep will produce, in in
crease and wool, over 50 each yearly, over ex-
penses. They will be graZed upon outly ing
and unsold lands of the company. The "no
fence 2" law is in force in Los Angeles county.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-12-12
Climate.

The climate of the Centinela is, without ex-
ception, the finest and most equable in the
world. 1t varies but little throughout the
year. The mean temperature is about 60 deg.
The mercury falls but little below 60 deg. in
Winter and rises but little above 60 deg. in
Summer. You sleep under one pair of ban-
kets and with your bedroom window open

FROM GLENGARY

Messrs Editors Independent
The Patrons of Husbandry in
this valley are progressing very
well, considering the opposition
with which they have to contend
with from outside parties. 1t
seems that the very persons who
ought to be the first to take hold
and get the Grange started, are
the very ones that oppose it the
most, yet they can hardly ever
maintain their reasons for opposi-
ton when Intercepted about it.
They will always try to make out
that it is political movement got
ten up to control the next Presi-
Dental election; and when asked
to give their reasons for thinking
it such they cannot do 1t.
The Ganotown school having
sent a challenge to the teacher of
Glengary school TO muster his
scholars at Ganotown on Tuesday
night last for the purpose of SPELL
ing one school against another,
the teacher accepted the chal-
lenge, marshaled thirteen spoilers
and an equal number having been
selected on the opposite side, the
spelling commenced, the teachers
of each school occupying the head
of the classes. Mr.. Abraha m
Throckmorton acted as pro-
nouncer, and after a short but
sharp contest the Ganotown schol-
ars succeeded in spelling down the
Glengary scholars, when the Glen
gary teacher spelled down the re-
manning scholars and teacher of
Ganotown school. After spend
ing an hour or two thus pleasant
~ together, all dispersed to their
homes.
AS to the nervous, shaky indi-
vidual who terms US "played-
out gospeller," all | have to say,
he is mistaken i'm his man, but
the public and gospellers especial
~ would always hit the mark by
calling him a useless and ire
deemable played out sinner.

kid NECKS"-THE NEW FE-
MALE DEOIEIT.

1t is really no wonder that the
"opposite sex" occasionally burst
forth into plaintive reproach, and
upbraid false fair ones for the
many means resorted to in order to
deceive them. For in the contest
for the prize awarded by Paris to
the most beautiful, deceits are in
vented and boldly worn, such as
are sometimes almost too astOund-
ing for belief. Years ago we re-
member hearing ola French singer
in a cafe chantdnt, whose husband,
on being complimented upon the
dazzling fairness of his wife's
neck lifted offa pair ofshoulders of
painted wax arranged as to be
easily adjustable! But that any Of
our bellies should consent to the
paltry deception of wearing kid
necks, made in Berlin and in
Paris, and sent, with vast
amount ofmystery, TO the beauty,
bitious.of a full, round neck
and shoulders, is something that
almost needs to be "seen TO be
believed.n Yet this is done. Let
one fancy meeting at ball, one
whose tulle scarf, dexterously
wrapped about the throat and
carelessly thrown back so as to.
form pendent ends over her back,
serves only to soften the gloss and
enhance the symmetry of what
seems to her daZzled observer SUI
perb pair of shoulders. Fancy
discovering afterwards, perhaps
when said lady has becomea bride.
that those shoulders were but
dream-made of kid! That is
worse than nightmare, and it
would seem that even a very Bay
ard could hardly say, "False one,
/ love thee still!'
