Chirps champion on the holly bough,
Let's ling! the winters over now,
And lovers lead beloved ones home.
The snowdrop's come.
Have you forgotten Love, last year
our springtime smiled with tear
That night when we went out and kist
The roses folded up in the mist
That day you pulled the braehes down
And made for me q leafy crown,
To YOU, sweet heart, when sun had set
l gave closed daisies, Margaret
It's spring again Loves hour has come,
The snewdrvp's come.
Have You not felt, as yet? You will,
That wild reaction, and the thrill
OF natures resurrection day,
That comes IS prelude TO our May,
The Nay we've swarn 70 love, from birth,
Sends carols round the weary earth.

Who sent me winter thyme, and me
Forget loves Birthday Spring is home

SACRAMENTO MORNING, SEPTEMBER 80, 1883.

such thing as drought, for with water for
irrigation each and every farmer theoreti-
cally and practically controls his own sea-
sons.
ADVANTAGES OF IRRIGATION.
J. NJ. Madden, upon this subject, says
"The idea is advanced in some localities
and urged with remarkable persistence
that fruits produced without irrigation are
better, harder and of finer flavor than any
that can be raised with the use of water,
but the best answer to this line of reason
ing is found in the fact that wherever irri-
cation and non-irrigation fruits are exhib-
tied side by side, the difference is so strik-
ing as to admit of no question, and always
in favor of the former. The Newcastle
irrigated fruits entered for prizes at State
and other fairs challengs the world for
competitor in size, beauty and delicious
flavor; and in every instance where the
requisite amount Of any variety has been
entered for a premium, success has fol-
lowed Another and clinching argument
in favor of the irrigated fruit is, that while
wholesale shippers to the East were paying
20 cents per box for Newcastle irrigated
Crawford peaches, they bought Just as fine
lOohiHS non-lrTlSdt6u Ndliey peaches OI tne
same variety for 80 cents per box. The
reason stated for the difference in price
was that the Newastle fruit would stand
long shipment and reach its destination in
excellent order, and that the other would
not. This goes to prove that in order to
enjoy any permanent prosperity as fruit
producing section, an abundance of water
for irrigation is an imperative necessity,
and that, as a result of such abundance, the
crops in the Newcastle section are sur
passed in quantity, quality and value by
no section of the Pacific coast"

PLACER COUNTY.
Something of Its Location, Extent an
Formulation.

Something of Its Location, Extent and
Population.
Placer county lies between $50 76' and
$50 30' Its direction is northeast and
southwest, and is about 100 miles long, by
varying widths, from 10 to 80 miles, the
course and distance being governed by the
courses of the rivers which define its bound
aries 1t extends from about eight miles
from the Sacramento river to the summit
of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The
southwestern one-third lies in nearly a
square, the northeast corner being near Au-
burn, the county seat, the distance across
the county, from the American to Bear
river. being only about eight miles. From
the narrow portion the county gradually
widens northeasterly to the State line 1t
contains ! 1856 square miles. Its capacity
may be estimated by comparing il with
the State of Rhode Island, which contains
1850 square miles, supporting a popula-
ton of $4,000, while Placer can boast Of
less than 25,000
THE FRIIT BELT.
GIancing at a map of California and
tracing the course of the Central Pacific
Railroad, II IS seen that from Sacramento
to Rocklin the road passes over a compara-
lively level section. Ii then begins to
climb a spur of mountains, and extends
along the top of the ridge to the State
line. On this spur aloag the line of the
road from RocRlin to Coifaz, and descend
