The Southern Cultlvator

The July number of the Southern Cultivator comes promptly to hand this month, and as usual is full of interest ing reading for the farmers and their families. Messrs. Jas. F. Harrison < Co.,, the publishers, issue many books and periodicals from their presses, but nothing is sent out that does them more credit than this splendid Agri- cultural monthly Every num- Der is beautifully illusUra- ted with pictures of the leading men of our times, fine thoroughbred cattle and the most improved farm implimeuts. From the pany pages devoted to com munications from Southern farmers, we judge that the Cultivator is the es- Decial medium which they employ for the interchange of their ideas. And so it should be, It is Southern publica- tion and Southern farmers should rec oguize it as their paper. The original communications are special feature of the Cultivator. Send Sl.50 to Jas. r. HarrIson & Co.,, Atlanta, for year's 's subscription or ten cents for a sample copy.

congratulations to the happy couple
and wishes them many years of
happiness and prosperity. We

Mics Julia Wolfe, Of this city, were

dence of the BRIDES parents, 1913

of congratulatOry dispatches were
received and many beautiful and
costly presents were bestowed. In
the evening a reception was given,
at which a large number Of friends
were present. Music, dancing and
feasting were delightfully."- INDUCED

Siegel have departed for the City

We had avisit from Mr.. Rep.
pett0, the sheep man, on Sunday.
He told us that his experience OF
the weather in Los Angeles coun-
ty dated from 1866 and that, two
months ago, he would have staked
his life upon our having good
year. He still has some expscta-
tion of it, but his judgment has
been confused by the fact that we
only had one dry year, that OF
1S76.77-at q time when we ought
to have had two. Mr.. Reppstto
says that, with that single excep-
tion, since he arrived in Southern
California the weather has run in
regular cycles of two dry years
one very dry and the other a year
Of scant rainfall-to five good
years The two years 1856 and
1856-57 were dry years. Then fol-
lowed five good years, which were
in turn succeeded by the two dry
years 1928 and 1S63-84 Still
came the regular five good years,
to blot out all recollection of pas
toral and other disaster. Then
came the two years of drouth 1862
70 and 1901, with the corollary
five good years. Here came the
break, with only one dry year-the
disastrous season Of 1876-77, when
4 83 inches fell during the entire
twelyemoAth. Succeeding this
solitary year Of drOuth-it would
have merited such name in any
county but Los Angeles-we have
thus far had four good years. The
absorbing question is, are we to
have another, or is the lacking dry
year to be made up now?

San Diego Seasons.

In considering the following,
which we clip from the San Diego
Sun, 1t must, Of course, be borne in
mind that the seasons are consid-
cred from the point OF view Of a
stock man, Of whom Don Juan
Forster is and was one of the larg-
est In Southern CALIFORNIA;:
The following is list of the
good and bad years in this county,
= record Of which has been kept by
Don Juan Forster, of the Santa
Margarita ranch, from 184S to 1876:
1S4S, 1S49, 1850, 1851 and 1852 were
good years; 1858 was a bad year;
1854 was a good one; 1856 was an
average one; 1856 was an exceed.
ipgly bad year, as was also 1857.
The years 1858, 1859 and 1860 were
good, but the following one, 1861,
was bad. 1862 was good, but the
year 1868 was the renowned dry
year, in which so many stock.men,
all over the State, lost their entire
Aocks and herds, Mr.. Forster being
q sufferer to the extent of 1000
head of cattle and $50 head OF
horses. In the same year disease
broke out HamoBg the cattle, and
this fact. no doubt, aided in theii
destruction. 1864 was also bad
year. 1865 WAS q good year, al
though the grass was not up to the
usual standard, probably on ac-
count of the drouth of the preced.
ing year. 1856, 1867 and 1858 were
exceptionally good years. 1869 was
bad. The skies were often clouded,
but no rain came. 1870, 1871, 1872
and 1873 were bad years, the latter
being especially so. 1874 was a
good year, and 1875 was fair. The
last in the list, 1876, was good
year. With the exception of 1877
the seasons ever since in San Diego
county have been good, some OF
them remarkably 30. We are in.
debted to DR.. w. A. Winder for
the above notes, from Mr.. FOrs-
