American Dairyman: The presence of any
able effect upon the owner. She is the FIRST one
ne concerns himself about when the herd is
looked up. She gets all the petting and extra
bites of grass. The wife sets that cows milk
separate to use in the family, and when the cow
has a new calf everybody goes out TO look at it.
Such a cow has a refining influence in the family,
and every farmer should have one in his herd.

AS one would expect, little is doing in bust
ness circles except to foot up the results of the
years business, which in all departments has
been very gratifying. Seldom does one find a
%grumbler as regards the amount of business he
has done. Margins, however, have not been as
large as some would wish, but all have laid by
something. The new year comes in favorably.

ample storage room and the minimum Of
lifting and handling, in receiving and dis

The conduct of business here is more econo-
mic, because the investment on realty is
less, and the cost Of living lower, and the
shipment and reshipment Of goods is nOmi-
nal expense. IDeFe are not here, as IN san
Francisco, dock charges 10 pay nor yet

facture and storage Of goods the Gryness of
the atmosphere is a decided advantage,

The charities of the people are broad. The
Howard Benevolent Association is one Of
the oldest-known philanthropie organi7a-
tons IN the country. q large orpba1

Trustees. The First is Mayor and chief
executive officer the Second. Superintend-
ent Ct Streets and Public Works, and the
Third, Superintendent OF the Water Works.
The three constitute the legal legislature,
in which their powers and votes are equal

There is q small police force, with

trolled by Board of Police
Commissioners a Board of Education Of
eight members and a Superintendent
elected by the people, and an elective Board

electrical FIRE alarm system IS an adjunct Of
this most efficient organization. Water is
supplied by the Holly system from the
river, the supply being sent through the

Sacramento was twice nearly destroyed by

Cost of roothill Vineyards.

q writer, referring to the cost of putting
out vineyards in the foothills, cites the
Hillside vineyard. at Colfax. Here 200
acres are inclosed with q rabbit-proof

tirelv proof against the incursions of rab-
bits. The bottom beard is II inches wide,
wire three inches above the board five
inches above is the second wire seven
inches are allowed for the third, II inches
for the fourth, and Is inches for the fifth
wire. Rabbits are found not to pass
through between the base board and the
first wire, but frequently find their way
through the next 5-inch space, and when
run By dogs, also jump through above.
The fence with cedar posts, bottom board
and five wires. and day labor in construct
ing ii, cost 81 ~ per rod, or a total Of
81 ,020 for inclosing the 200 acres. The
vineyard covers seventy acres, having
twenty-six acres of table grapes and forty
four of wine varieties. Filty-four acres
of the 70 were planted in the dry winter Of
1884 5, during the months of January and
February The plants were all rooted, ex-
cept 1000. The vineyard is situated at an
elevation of 400 feet above tide level, and

A Fruit r,urserv nteruriss.

The Grass Valiey tiie. has the follow
ing. J. z. bcgue Of Batavia, y y, who
mas made the fruit nursery business the
occupation OF his life, has engaged since
last October in clearing portion o. G tract
Of land nes Union Hill which he pip
chased with the view to establishing z
nursery and to go extensively into fruit
raising, particularly of pears, apples, plUms
and prunes. The land had not previously
been improved and was covered with the
natural growth Of pine and chaparral com
mon TO the foothills, but i'll q few months
Mr.. Bogue has had ten acres Of il cleared
OF all the timber, roots and stones, and has
now handsome field, five acres Of WHICH
he has devoted this season to a nursery, in
which he has set out G0,000 pears, 1900
apples, 1900 plums and 5000 cherries, all
seedlings (Which are to be grated this fall,
and 4, 600 pears and 5000 plums, one year
Old grated trees. These trees are now all
vigorous and growing finely, and the ST.
perior manner in which the ground is
cultivated gives assurance that the
young nursery will continue in fine
condition. 1t is the intention to clear
more ground the present season to set out
for next year 200, eco more seedlings, chiefly
of pears, apples and plums. Besides cult
waiting q nursery, Mr.. BOgue designs rails
ing trult on 4 large scale, increasing MS
planting from year to year until the tract,
which comprises 10 acres viii be in large
part in bearing fruit trees. Mr.. Bogue is
interested in large nursery at Batavia, y.
Y, but for the past two years has been Cul
tivating branch nursery near MARTINEZ.
Last year he visited this portion of the
State, and was so impressed by the healthy
appearance Of The orchards and the quality
of the fruit that he determined to estab-
lish the business in this vicinity and to
discontinue his operations at Martinez.
He considers the soil here as especially
adapted for fruit-cultare, and the climate
not being influenced by the sea f0gs, there
is no danger from the mold or black fungus
that detracts so much from the appearance
of the fruits raised near the sea coast and
besides the scale bug is not herein The foot
hill region, which is the most fatal pest TO
trees that orchardists have had 10 deal
with. Mr.. Bogue. who is thoroughly
versed as TO fruit-cultuTe. has formed the
highest opinion of the foothin region OF
California for the cultivation Of fruit, par
ticularly of apples, pears, plHms ard prunes,
and sees that IN the not distant future the
business will be Of great value, and having
selected this locality in which 10 engage in
the business, has shown his belief that
there il no more desirable portion oe the
State in which 70 locate. And what is an
additional indictment for himself and all
