Hung by Request.


This county has had two hemp ear.
rivals during the past few weeks, and it
begins to look like old times again. In
each case the murder was unprovoked,
and the victim a quiet gentleman. That
is why there was a popular feeling
against the murderer, and spontaneous
rope stretching benefit rs the result.
While We deplore the existence of II state
of affairs that would warrant these little
expressions of feeling, we cannot come
right out and condemn the exercises
which followed.
The more we read the political record
of the candidate for office, as set forth
in opposing journals, the more we feel
that there are already few enough good
men in this country, so that we do not
care to spare any of them. Ii, there
fore, the mischievous bad man is per-
mitted to thin them out this way, the
day is not distant when we won't have
good men enough to run the newspa-
pers, to say nothing of other avocatiOns
| We know that Eastern people will
speak OF us as a ferocious tribe on the
Wyoming reservation, but we desire to
call the attention of our more law -abid-
ing brethren to the fact that there has
been in the past year lynching in al
most every State in the Union, to say
nothing OF several hundred cases where
there should have been. Do you sup

restless and apprehensivs Death is az
ways depressing, but it is doub y so
when it has that purple and suffocated
appearance which is noticeable in the
features of the early fall fruit of the
telegraph pole. Lately, we will state,
however, the telegraph pole has fallenin-
to disfavor, and is not much used, owing
to a rumor which had gained circulation
some time ago, to the effect that Jay
Gould intended to charge the vigilance

Last year demonstrated this most clearly.
In some parts Of the county the rainfall
was far below the average, yet we be-
lieve that in almost every case in which
the land was deeply plowed when it was
wet, and the grain well covered, q good
crop resulted, and in every case where
the old system Of dry blowing was fol
lowed, n total or partial failure was the
result. Dry blowing means shallow
blowing. 1t is impossible to pillow deep
when the ground is dry and hard, but
even II it were possible to plow deep
under these circumstances dry blowing
does no good to the soil. Another fault
with our farmers has been scant sowing.
A few years ago it was believed that
twenty or twenty-five pounds OF seed 10
the acre was sufficient, and so great Is
the fertility Of our soil that even with
this light sowing large crops were fire.
quently raised. But subsequent exper-
iments taught our agriculturists that n
greater yield was obtained by sowing
more seed In the Eastern States from
ninety to ono hundred and twenty
pounds OF wheat, and about twenty
pounds more Of barley, are necessary to
be sown on each acre. But here our
soil is more fertile than the soil of the
Eastern States, and the grain Is not sub.
ject to being killed by a severe winter
or cold rain, and il has been found that
about one.half the secd-say fifty
pounds to the acre--is all that 10 neces-
sary Until very few years ago farm.
ing in Los Angeles county was being
conducted by retired uiners and other
men without experience; but within the
past five or six years men with both ex-
perence and capital have embarked in
This enterprise. and our crops are in.
creasing every year, both in quality and
quantity, and the value of our farming
lands is becoming more generally known.
The writer of these lines heard
prominent farmer say n few days age,
that he had farmed successfully in the
East until. eight years ago, when he
came to this State, and that II he only
got one good crop every two years in
this county, he was doing better here
than he had ever done in the East. The
crop of the Eastern farmer Is subject TO
many disasters from which the crop of
the Californian is free. There is no
danger here that severe winter will
kill the crop, or a hot July, or heavy
rains during harvest. Tho California
crop requires no rain after April, nor is
the heat of Summer ever sufficient to
destroy it. During the harvest months,
from June to October, rain is absolutely
unknown. But in spite Of all these ad.
vantages the voice of tho croaker is
heard in the land The farmer who
loafs about the bar.roems, in town, pre-
dieting dry season, Is never ready When
the rain does come, and after the rains
do commence half the blowing season is
over before he gets to work, and then
the short time at his disposal makes
haste necessary, and shallow blowing
and slip-shod farming is the result, and
II his crop fails he curses the country
and resumes his habits Of loafing and
predicting dry seasons. Fortunately
this class of farmers is giving way to
more energetic men.
