crowded, but Los Angeles had its share
but it is SO wide that it was not so no
ticeable.

A few days since the HERALD an
nounced that the rate Of freight on sheep
in carload lots from Ell Paso to the lead
ing points in northern Texas had been
raised to such an extent that shipments
Of sheep had ceased. We are gratified
to know that the Sunset route did not
raise the rates, and SO shipments are
now made to Martha, on that line, and
then the animals are driven overland to
the great pasture fields of the State.
The Msssrs. Hutton Brothers are now
preparing to ship 1000 head by the Sun
set route.
A light, misty rain prevailed last night
for several hours, and was very refresh
ing to gardens and orchards. These
mists are especially valuable to the hay
makers who are baling hay, as they
make the stalks flexible and easy to
compress during the day into bales. But
at the same time If the hay, either bsled
or unbaled, is left day after day and
week after week, exposed to these mists
it becomes discolored and non-nutririous.
Take care of hay and it will take care
of you.
In recent trip through the San Fer
nando Valley we were gratifed to find
the great grain fields turning golden un-
der the smile of the Summer sun, with
full, round grain unshrivelled by drying
winds or pestering insects. The great
heading machines have already COM
menced their work on the full ripened
barley, which will be gathered first, and
then the later ripening wheat will have
the opportunity Of being gathered in.
With no drawbacks OF fogs and dews,
which seldom prevail in San Fernando,
the barley of that region should all be
bright and 6t for brewing. and meet q
large Eastern demand among the malt
sters, who desire the bright, dry barley
of our sunland for their especial use.
