LETTER FROM LOS ANGELES.

The following extracts are taken
from letter from Mr.. i. Straus, to
friend In this city, under date of Jan.
Z, 1876:
My first impressions upon arriving
here, were not such as | anticipated,
all vegetation seemed to have been
dried up and presented dreary as
pect, except in places where irrigation
is resorted to and even in such places
plants, trees and everything else APP
peared to be covered with dust col
lected for twelve month. But these
impressions became more modified
when / saw cattle and horses tethered
or herded, eating the dry grass and
weeds with seemingly as good relish
and thriving as we'll as those grazing
in clover in Tennessee, and the gar
dcners bringing fresh and nice vege-
tables to your door every day in the
week and every day in the year. The
grass which grows on uncultivated
lands hereabouts, consists of species
of wild clover, wild oats and other
nourishing grasses. This vegetation
springs up luxuriantly after the fall
and winter rains set in, the first of
which we had on the I'd day of Novem-
Der last, (the first since last March,,
and in two weeks thereafter, cattle were
doing we'll on it, as it grows with
astonishing rapidity, and we have had
several good rains since, "a mild but
steady rain setting in again yesterday
morning, continuing during the night
and clearing up about IL a. III. to-day,
with indications OF more this evening
The dry grass becomes bitter as soon
as the first rains get on it and cattle
will not eat it. They have to be fed
then for two or three weeks on such
feed as has been housed. There is
very little attention bestowed on stock,
an open shed for horses and the canopy
of heaven as shelter for cattle, sheep,
ETC., the climate being such that they
thrive in the open air the year round.
Milk is very rich in cream, and the
same quantity of milk will yield double
the amount of butter here from that |
in Tennessee.
Vegetables of all kinds are in abund- |!
