We have had very severe winter,
and stock generally look bad; and so it
will be until farmers provide shelter
for their stock. Stock of all kinds
bear good price in this country, and
especially hogs. Many farmers are
making money very fast raising hogs,
and some are very enthusiastic about
them. There are two modes of rails.
ing hogs in this country. The first is
to let the hogs run out on the range,
(Which is very good, with but, little
or no feed, and fatten them at two
years old, which, it is claimed by some,
is the most profitable way of raising
them. The hogs preferred for this
way of raising, are the "Hazel.split-
ters," or Scrub, it being claimed that
they are more hardy and less liable to
disease. The other mode is to breed
only fine stock, such as Berkshire, POI
land China. &c, and keep them fat
from the time they are pigs and make
them attain enormous weights at the
age of nine or ten months; and for this
purpose have two good fields of clover
and change the hogs from one field to
the other and feed them all they will

Early Gardening.

Whoever has Southern slope and
one that drains easily, can begin put.
ting in seeds long before the ordinary
level garden. Lettuce, peas and beets
can be sown at any time, and will be
up before most people will think Of
planting.
The peas should be planted pretty
deep, at least four inches, which will
protect them from slight freezing OF
the ground, and they will be longer in
bearing thanpif planted shallow. Let
tuce and beet seed are not injured by
frost, as they will lie on the ground 81
in it all winter and come upas soon
as the weather permits.
Ina few weeks, cabbage and tomato
seeds may be planted in boxes in the
house. so as to have them well started
for the hot>bed. Early cabbage will
be in demand this season, as the crop
in the South has been badly damaged,
so that it cannot come from there as
usual. -'.

The hauling of ore to the mill will COM

experienced workmen have been sent for
to assist in operating the mill, and prob.
ably before the end OF next week every.
thing will be in running order and the
camp be booming.
Hon. John Lawshe, the principal
owner of the San Jacinto mine, will
soon have a large force at work taking
out ore from the mine, and there is I'M
usual activity among the owners of
other mines in getting out ore to be
crushed at the mill.
During the week sale of the Santa
Fe mine, in Gavalan District, was effect
ed. the price being very satisfactory.
The purchasers of the Santa Fe mine are
Eastern men of large capital and are
well pleased with their bargain. and
will Immediately proceed to erect a large
mill and work the mine for all it Is
worth. The Santa Fe mine has been
worked for long time by Mexicans, who
crushed the ore taken out in arastras
with splendid results.
In the Menifee District we learn that
the plant for large forty. stamp quartz
mill has been ordered, and that the Men.
flee Mining Company are making extern
sive preparations to develop up their
mines. For the present the Menifee ore
will be crushed at the San Jacinto mill.
We hear hatnegotiations are now GO
ing on for the transfer Of valuable min
ing interests in the districts named, and
as soon as the mines pass out of the
hands OF small owners snd Mexicans in
to the hands of enterprising American
capitalists, we may expect to hear of
astonishing returns from this rich mining

Los Feliz Rancho Water.

EDITOR OF THE HERALp-Sir; For
some years past our City Fathers have
frequently questioned the Los Feliz
Ranches right to the water flowing
through the reservoir ditch and canal
which supplies irrigators in the upper
part of the city, notwithstanding the
decisions of our court in favor Of the
rancho and the confirmation of the same
by the Supreme Court.
G. Jenkins Griffith (the owner) says
that, although the rancho is entitled
legally to eight cubic feet per second,
yet he has not at any time used half of
that amount, nor has he at any time
caused any waste of water nor the use
OF any more water than his employees
and renters actually require for irriga.
ton and other purposes.
Mr.. Griffith is Interested in this city
and county to the extent of over $780,.
600, and purposes extending that amount
greatly as soon as convenient to with
draw his investments elsewhere.
The Griffith family is large one, in
Guiding father, mother, three sisters
and six brothers, all Of whom are now
residing on the rancho and feel delighted
with their new home.
Last week the City Council appointed
Q committee for the purpose OF ascer.
tanning the ranches right to the water
in this same ditch again, and Mr.. Crit
fifth was informed by an official in high
authority on water under the city that
If he (Griffith) continued to use that
water there would be trouble-blood-
shetland if he was appointed by the
city to go up there he would prevent
the rancho from using drop Of water
or leave his bones there, etc., etc.
Is this the way to talk to anybody,
and do our City Fathers encourage
such actions, especially to gentleman
who is the direct cause Of bringing sew
eral settlers here? I sincerely hope that
no Councilman is responsible for such
bulldozing. If the city has rights there,
why not establish them legally?

The BIO Grande Flood.

The food in the Rio Grande still con,
tinues and puts our winter floods to
shame by its long duration. CONCERNING
its works and ways the Silver City En-,
terprise has this to sayi 1.-THE recent
foods Of the Rio Grande have done al.
most incalculable damage to the Santa
Fe Failroad. 1t has now been month
since the first break occurred, and to.
day the prospects for running regular
trains through is little better than at
any time during the break. 1t is esti.
mated that the present damage to the
road in New Mexico can be remedied for
500, 900, but the loss to the company in
business, etc., will perhaps be double
that amount. The branch road from
Rincon to El Paso has Jared worse than
the main line. A work train with fifty
men on board, Q short distance below
Rincon, ran into the river and sank out
OF sight in over twenty feet of water.
Fortunately none Of the men were
drowned. 1t will be necessary in many
places Co change the bed of the road, as
the current was so strong that It washed
. way large part Of the track and now
the main channel Of the river 10 where
the former track was laid. II Is said by
Indians and natives who reside on the
river that nothing equal to the present
food has occurred for eighty Year,"

Paving the Streets.

The matter Of paving the streets o.

for a time, because while the weather il

roadbed is smooth and travel is easy,
and people let well enough alone. But
II the streets were not sprinkled, they
would soon become sandy and travel
would be difficult and Iaborious. If an

the first opportunity.
1t is now the proper time to take hold
OF the matter and pave the leading bust

from our city hills. These blocks should
be made about ten inches long, six or
ten inches wide and three inches thick.
Such a pavement, laid with Joints

and might be the means Of preserving
the CITY from pestilence.
The increased power that such nave.
ment would give to teams in moving
freight over the streets would soon pay
for the pavement. One horse on such q
stone pavement can do the work Of eight
horses on sandy road. The difference
between keeping one horse and eight
horses must be an important fact for our
citizens to ponder over The mower to
