WHILE we have none of the cyclones
of tho East in California, the Weather
Clerk seems to be ambitious, OF late, to
show that he can kick up something OF
q ruction hereabouts. Confessing our
inability to get up a gale which twists
the steeples off of churches and carrie:
them away five miles or so before letting
them drop, an incident occurred at San
Pedro during the wind-storn OF last
week which Is worth recording. A lady
of that place hal planted some shrubs
in small tub, preparatory to putting
them out in her garden. An eddy OF
the gale swept along and iaeontinently
took tub and plants up in the air to
the height Of mile or so, carrying them
out to sea fully mile before dropping
them. As a miniature cyclone this was
q decided success.

inches thus far, against the 9.g7 inches
reported fer the city Of Los Angeles by
the United States Signal Service office.
On the other hand, In the San Gabriel
valley, at Savannah, the Monte, the
Puente, the San Jose valley and Pomona,
the rainfall has been larger than that
Of Los Angeles, and the crops are cor
respondingly fine. Towards the South
ern portion Of the county the precipita-
tion has been far less than our own,
although the heavy rains In February
have rescued that section from the dan
ger Of scant crops.

THUs far they have had about an inch
more rain in San Francisco than they
had up to date last year The compar-
ison holds about as good, relatively, in
Los Angeles. April and May rains
helped the crops out greatly in this
county last year, and it remains to be
seen whether they will do as well by us
the present season. Whether they
come or no, we are going to have far
Better crop this year than last,

Iri, pleasant to be able to chronicl,
the fact that our vineyards have safely
passed the ordeal of the "Devil's Win.
ter" and that the severe weather OF the
first half Of April has left no disagreed
BILE reminders. The yield Of our vine
yards this year will be abundant, and
prices cannot fail to be good when re-
gard Is had to the increased facilities fol
making wine and brandy furnished by
the San Gabriel Winery.

what We May Expect.

There is a certain amount OF theoriz
Ing in which practical men may indulge
without mourning tho reproach Of being
Missionaries or dialogues. We have just
had in Southern California three dry
seasons. They have not been drouths
in any sense, for the reason that we
have had abundant crops. We have
not only raised ample produce for our
own subsistence, but we have exported
great quantities Of fruits ard vegetables,
hay and grain, to Arizona, New Mexico
and other points TO the East Our
farmers have gradually begun to realize
the fact that all that is needed to insure
prolific crops. even in dry years, is Sum-
mer following and early sowing. Drouth
is thing that will never be heard OF
again in Los Angeles county. Our es.
tended facilities for irrigation, great
expanse Of moist lands and accumula-
ton Of feed for stock renders such q
state of things impossible in the
future. Now to the theoretical
part of our remarks. 1t is an
established fact that In Southern Cali
Hornia we never have more than
three dry years in succession. In truth,
since the American occupation, this is
the first instance in which We have had
three. The unvarying order has been
Ave good seasons to two dry ones. We
are therefore justified In assuming that
next year will be a remarkably moist
one. Without an exception, the dry
seasons have been followed by years Of
unstinted rainfall. The season OF 1875
II, in which only five and ninety-four
huudredths inches of rain fell, and which
succeeded dry year, was followed by
the memorable golden year of 1878, in
which Los Angeles county shipped
eleven thousand tons of wheat from
Wilmington, besides sending wheat,
-four, barley and other produce into
Arizona. No one need be astonished If,
next year, we should have from twenty
to thirty inches of rain. In fact, the
presumption is violent that we shall
have OF least the lesser figure. In such
years Southern California is character
lied by prodigality Of vegetation with
out parallel outside of the tropics.
The alfilerilla on tho mesas grows to O
height of three and four feet. the wild
mustard frequently springs up 30 rankly
that it overtops the head of man on
horseback, and the malva fourishes in
matted luxuriance which recalls the
profusion of vegetation on the 1sthmu'
of Panama. But the blessing will no,
be confined TO single year. Four good
years are just as certain to follow the
first as night is to succeed the day. Our
farmers have already practically demon
strated the fact that, by a judicious sys-
TEN of farming, we can raise abundant
crops in Los Angeles county even in dry
years. BY the time we shall have re
currence of the periodical dry years the
conditions of farming will be 10 thor
oughly understood in Los Angeles
county that they will simply work M
Inconvenience whatever. All the bug
a-boas about dry years in this section
grew up at a time when the cupidity o.
the owners of sheep, cattle and horse
induced them to allow Of their multi
plication beyond all reason, with the
natural result that, when the pasturagt
became scant, their very numbers mad,
disaster inevitable.

The capricious distribution Of the

we do not care for another
The agent. herweyer, begged the
privilege of leaving one OF his machines
with ns, for the ladies to try
The request was not unreasonable, so
we granted it-brlt more to oblige the
agent than anything else; for we really
did not want the machine. and had not
the remotest idea of buying it.
The machine once in the house, it
was natural that the ladies should look
it over. they did so, and as conss-
quence fell in love with it. They say
that without the slightest wish to decry
or disparage and other machine. this,
ali things considered. is. in their opin-
ion, the most desirable one to be had.
The Spshot of The whole matter was
that the old machine was disposed of,
and the .Light-Running New Home
installed in our household. 1t is pro-
