such low prices. In speaking of butter it
said: Light colored goods are very hard
to dispose of and several lots were thought
we'll sold at s to 10 cents" If butter max

An Immense vineyard.
Rrcyn tho Gan Traucieen 5al1

In the immense vineyard of Governor
Stamford at VIVA there are, at present,
10000 acres planted in grapevines Of
different varieties, the greater portion of
which are young, ami as yet have
not been productive. The old GArke
vineyard, which forms the nucleus,
covers space of seventy-five acres: to.
this, 1000 acres of young vines. were
added in 1882, and 1.500 acres in 1888.
They are alFyery thrifty, and form
beautiful sight when, viewed from any
direction. The irrigation CT this vine
yard is, perhaps, the mos. complete in
the world. At regular intervals through
the vineyard avenaes are cuts which are
forty feet in width; through these ave-
nues are run. irrigating' bitches,
with driveway On each
formed by tina irrigating bitches are
about fifty yards wide, but extend a
great length, ald contain abont 100
acres each. In tins way the system OF
irrigation is msde complete, and all the
land: receives an eq al proportion OF
water. Every two Of these blocks are
planted to 2. different variety Of grapes.
The maia bitches run east and west
across Tar, field, and where the field is
unevon< intersectin, bitches are made.
In some cases it has been necessary to
conf,truct fumes to carry the water over
lower lands. "A aume 1,SOO feet long has
been built to carry water over the alfalfa
fields. Besides the 1G, 600 acres planted
in vines, the governor owns 10, 600 acres
fmore than he has ateIy acquired by
purchase. He is contemplating, hcsMey-
or, extending his vineyard, making neK
