ted to the cultivation of cotton, tobacco and
the citrus and semi-tropical fruits of all
kinds, and of the best quality.
In each Of the above named counties,
chiefly by means of irrigation, the agricul
tural products common to the temperate
zone are produced in abundance, the soil
and climate being we'll adapted to general
farming. Abundant crops of grain, alfalfa,
potatoes and garden vegetables are raised
by irrigation and proper tillage. Three
crops Of alfalfa are cut each season, Stock
breeding, including cattle, horses and sheep,
is extensively carried on, owing to the ex
tensive grazing lands of these counties. All
fruits adapted to temperate climate thrive
with proper care, their yield being bounti-
full and of very superior quailty. Neva-
da took the first and second prizes for apples
potatoes and wheat at the exposition at New
Orleans.

CLIMATE.
The climate of Nevada is the most de-
lightful and salubrious in the known world
Neither the prostrating heats and destructive
cyclones, nor the Arctic frOsts and deadly
billiards of the Western States are known
here. The consumption breeding fogs, and
countless insect pests that swarm in other
lands, are also strangers in Nevada. The
warmest days of Summer are modified by
soft southwest winds, laden with the sweet
odor of wild flowers and the invigorating
aroma of the indigenous sage, while the
nights are seasons of transcendent loneliness,
rendered SO by the gentle mountain breezes
that watt health and vigor to the sleeper.
In June and July occasional thunder storms
cool the air and freshen the face of nature
The Winters, with the exception of few
cold days, are Spring like, the snow remain.
ing only short time, except at great alti'
tudes Malarious fever and pulmonary con,
sumption are exceedingly rare, and are usu
ally imported cases, while smallpox, mea
sizes and kindred diseases are shern of theil
| terrors by the dryness and purity of the at
mosphere. Scrofula, saltrheum and similar
Inherited tants of blood are, in few years
almost entirely eradcated from the system
by the wonderful healing properties of Ne
vada'S matchless climate. Nevada may be
| Justly styled "THE WORLDS GREAT SAM
TARlUM."
