is past without as much rain as is de-
sired by certain Glass of croakers, they
invariably raise the cry Of another dry
season. By so doing they not only in
jure those who are settled here By caus-
ing them to defer plowing for grain and
planting trees and vineyards, but they
drive away hundreds OF people who are
here in the best country in the world for
the purpose of buying homes. who will
not and do not bny becauss they are
afraid of these dreaded dry seasons. To
all such, after an experience of thirty.
two winters, can say that such thing
as dry winter that lie ruinous to any
considerable portion of cur people is un.
known here. There has boon but
single year in thirty.two that did not
mature volunteer barley, and consequent.
ly, pretty fair grass on the plains, and
this dry year did not injure materially
any one except stock and grain men. To
show to These psople that our chances
for rain are good, even if there is but
little rain to the first Of February, have
carefully examined e statement of the
monthly rainfall in Sacramento (which
Is about the same as here) published in

saye the strawstacks.

The absence Of rain is beginning to be
felt by the growing grass, and unless a
rainfall comes soon some flocks and
herds will have to seek pastures new, or
be hard up for food and comfort. Suoh
accidents as shortness of food for domos-
tic animals is likely to occur in any coun-
try, but not more often in California
than in any other country. In all couu-
tries such things should be provided for
in advance.
All old residents remember the loss Of
live stock thirty years ago by lack of
grass. At present the growth Of alfalfa
helps tide over lack of alflerilla 10
some extent, and the railway affords
facilities for transporting Hocks and herds
in three days to grazing lands, 50 that a
lack OF rain does not mean destruction
to stock, bat merely some expense and
Inconvenience. But a large portion of
this trouble and expense in the transfer
of steck might be avoided, ii tho grain
growers would save the straw, which
they now annually destroy, and keep it
fofthe use OF live stock As straw is
pat in stack from the machine, by
sprinklipg salt ia the midst Of it the
stalks become timber and luscious TO the
palate of cattle, sheep and horses. Straw
put in stack in this way can be preserved
for years and is eaten by stock as raven.
ou.ly as new hay. Stock will keep fat
on such food, which is now annually
burned up. instead Of being turned into
beet, mnttop, butter AMI milk.
Such waste is unpardonable in
this country. These stacks are needed
now in many places in the State, and
should have beon made and preserved.
The expense Of covering them with duck
or shake roof is email, while the profit
is very important item in tho economy
Of the State. When the next grain crop
is threshed VIZ hope to SEQ all the straw
preserved for sosne valuable use. instead
of being burned. Such care OF this
food, preserved but very slightly with
salt, viii add wealth to the people, give
more and better meat. more wool, more
cheese, milk and butter for the people;
prevent shipping stock to Arizona and
Texas, to save it from hunger, and abol-
ish all fear from droutb. Who will take
the initiative in this important move.

payers. All seemed TO agree that the
paving of these streets in the heart Of the
city was necessity; the difference be.
tween the representatives present was
only as to the kind of pavement to be
used. Mr.. VIM. Ferguson stated Tat
the stone pavement in front of his prop.
erty on Main street gave entire satisfac-
ton, and that he thought it would be
the cheapest that co1ld be made. Mr..
q. A. Bunch being called for to give his
knowledge of stone aving. stated that
there was plenty OF rock on the lands
belonging to the city, in the hills about
three miles north of the Court House.
This rock was very hard. and could
be easily obtained in blocks six inches
square face and eight inches long, max
ing four blocks to the square foot. or 80
b ocks per superficial square yard. Such
blocks were being quarried and
fashioned in quarries near San
Francisco. at i've cents apiece.

should recommend to the council the
propriety Of opening this quarry ON the

School for Deaf Mutes at Los Ange-

To the Elitor of he Herald.

To the Editor Of the Herald:
SiR-Since my arrival in Los Angeles
for my health / have been asked by
many Of the relations and friends of
deaf mutes residing in Southern Califor-
MIA to make an effort to start o school
for that class and to ascertain the best
location for such, and what inducements
might be offered to further the project
by the wealthy owners Of real estate,
etc.
From tho few inquiries have made as
to the number Of deaf mutes and the
need for such an institu lion for thein, !
ieel warranted in stating that school
for deaf mutes here is necessity and
shoula be established in this portion Of
California. Several Of these afflicted
children have been reported to me, and
The mother Of one bright little 10Y in
Los Angeles city earnestly begged me to
do something tor her child, she being
unable to bear the heavy expense OF
sendisg him so far north to Berkeley,
and would not liks to send him so far
away from home. The father of another
deaf mute child in San Bernardino coun-
ty also wrote urging me to undertake the
educa.ion Of his child aud offered TO
give some valuable land as site for
school. There are ut least leo deaf
mutes in Southern California, most Of
whom are kept at home TO grow up in

utter Inability Of he parents to send
them 50 far north to the only school ut

Surely thore are a fog benevolent and
wealthy citizens in Los Angeles who
might be Induced to lend helping
hand in this truly Christian work, by
starting school on a small scale until
the Legislature would recognizs Its i'm
porance and make q grant for its sup
port. The Episcopal ciergymen OF
Southern Calif3raia, at their late confer

promised to do I'LL in their power to for

be ample to erect suitable buildings to
make good start, and feel sure that
there would be no difficulty to raise that
sum among so many wealthy and Chris.
tian citizens who now reside in this
favored land. The site referred to will
be sufficient to enable instruction to be
given to the pupils in agriculture, horti-
culture, the raising Of poultry and in
carpentry, so that when they have
completed their education they will be
enabled to engage in the above occupa-
tions for livelihood and become useful
citizena.
The institution could also be made a
sanitarium for invalid desf mutes in all
parts OF the Union. who come here for
their health, and at the same time wish
to continue their education. These, of
course, would pay their ewn expenses
and help t, support the institution.
Parents who have deaf mute children
aud friends who know OF such afflicted
ones in their ne ghborhood, residing in
Southern California and Arizona, will
greatly oblige by sending their names,
ages and addresses to the Rev. Elias
Birdsall, or to the undersigned.
