The refusal. of the Board to close the
lease at the highest bid, after giving the
legal advertisement, provoked through
out the city much comment and criti-

in which the State is largely interested
and one which ought to be kept as far as
possible from numbering the seventy-6ve

for the lease of the %peuitentiary, under
an act of March "a. 1875. The Commits

and adopted the following conclusions:

in al act entitled IAN act to provide Tor

Tertiary" assembled in the office OF the
Governor of the State on the first
day Of December, 1875, when the follow

by Charles N. Gibbs, Secretary OF State,
in the presence OF the sa d Commission
ers, to-wit: The bid Of N. B. Forrest, of
twenty-five thousand dollars per annum,
as hire or rental on The basis Of an aver
age of eight hundred coDvicts for SER

A. L. Lands and George W. White, OF
thirty.six thousand dollars per annum
on the same basis, and upon considera-
ton thereof the undersigned are OF opin-
ion that the sum offered by the highest
bidder is inadequate and unsatisfactory.
This opinion is confirmed by two verbal
bids made since the closing OF the bid
dings, at forty-one thousand dollars on
the same basis, but in the absence of au-

Alfalfa and Milk.

Those of our friencs who ere interested
In producing milk for city consumption
|or elsewhere, should heed what the Sac
|ramento Record has to say On the alfalfa
for that purpose. In the months OF May
and June, the freshets In the Sacramento
river ruined the spring growth Of natural
grasses, covering them with mud. As
consequence, farmers had to turn their
COWS on rart Of their alfalfa fields. T. {
Record rem arks: ''Where thiS has been
lone, II only for short time, the uni
versal testimony is, that the effect has
been to greatly increase the quantity and
improve the quality Of the milk. In some
instances, the milk is said to have been
increased fifty per cent. and the amount
OF butter In q greater proportion. This
experience aftordk one. Of the best tests Of
the comparative value. Of alfalfa We have
met with, and taken in connection with
the other fact. well estahlIlhed. that the
same land in alfalfa will afford from three
70 four times the quantity Of food that il
will in any Of the native grasses, gives to
the grass an almost inestimable value for
dairy purposes

that it's position there is more matter Of

and mutton are far better adapted to the

marked improvement in this respect.
