TEN THOUSAND ACRES IN VINES.
An Immense Vineyard in Process of Develop
ment by a California Millionaire.


Red Bluff Peoples Cause.
We had the pleasure recently of viewing the
immense vineyard of Governor Stanford at VIVA.
The vineyard is probably the largest in the
State There are at present 10000 acres planted
in grape vines of different varieties, the greater
portion Of which are young and as yet have not
been productive. The old Gerke vineyard, which
forms the nucleus. covers space of seventy five
acres; to this LOCO acres of young vines were
added in 1882 and 1880 acres in 1888. Tie sys-
tenn that has been followed in planting vines is
very systematic-the vines beingequal and exact
distance apart They are all very thrifty and
form beautiful sight when viewed from any
direction.
The irrigation of this vineyard is. perhaps, the
walls, through the vineyard avenues are cut
which are forty feet in width. Through these
avenues are run irrigatng dtches with drive
way ON each side. The blocks thus formed by
the irIigatng bitches are about fifty yards wide.
but extend great length, and contain about one
hundred acres each. in this way the system of
irrigation is made complete, and all the land re
ceives an equal proportion of water. Every two
of these blocks planted to different va
fiety of grapes. The main bitches run east and
west across the field, and where the field is UNI
even intersecting bitches are made. In some
cases it has been necessary to construct fumes
to carry the water over lower lands. A flume of
1890 feet long has been built to carry the water
over the alfalfa fields.
Besides the 10, 600 acres planted in vines, the
Governor owns 10000 acres more that he has
lately acquired by purchase, some of which he
is now putting in grain, and some is used in pas
ture.

But how was she to fulfill the terms
of the VOW she had entered into! After mature
reflection she saw q way out of the difficulty.
Instead of disfg1lring the lovely features OF her
bondmad she contcnted herself with boring Il
hole in each of the rosy lobes of her ears. The
legend does not inform us wether Abraham
afterward felt it incumbent upon him to miti-
gate the smart of these little wounds by the gift
of IA costly pair Of earrings. on whether Hagar
procured the trini,ets for herself. The fact re
mains, however, that the Turkish women, all OF

According to the Moslem creed the reason why
every Mohammedan lady considers it her duty to
wear earrings is attributable to the following
curious legend: Sarah tradition tells us. was so
jealous of the preference shown by Abraham to
Hagar that she took solemn vow that she
would give herself no rest until she had mutt
lated the fair face of her hated rival and bond
maid Abraham, who had knowledge of his

embttered spouse, but long in vain. At
length, however, she relented, and de-
cided to forego her plan OF revenge

cessive generations disappeared, we can have no
very strong reason for believing that the human
body has been at any time an essentially differ
ent structure from what it is now. Even in re
gard to longevity or power of continued life, if
we set aside the exceptional cases of what is re
lated of the patriarchs in the biblical records
we do not find that the average duration of hui
man life has been much greater or much less
than the three score and ten or the four score
years that are said to have been the divinely
appointed term AS to what may have been the
average duration of life among the prehistoric
men we are altogether in the dark.

not often that a man has cancer cut out of his
