California Homes.

n considerable portion of Califor
MIA is admirably adapted by nature
for comfortable homes. There is
perhaps no place in the world
where a family of moderate means
~ begin with, and of industrious
habits, can live SO easily enjoying
not only the comforts but even the
luxuries Of life.
Instead of being, as many sup
pose, place where only the veal
thy can enjoy life il is peculiarl,
adapted to homes of thirty people
who earn their daily bread, and
while one without means would un.
loubtedly. find it very difficult L,
| get start, a man with a small cap
ital can very soon surround himse
with luxuries that only the wealth,
can enjoy elsewhere.
A small tract of land no acres,
or at most 2o) is enough, which can
be purchased at a reasonable price,
if outside Of a"boom" district. With
intelligence and industry used in
planting and cultivating it, an in.
come is certain. 1t should be part
orchard and part vineyard. While
the trees and vines are beng
brought into bearing enough to
materially contribute to the main.
tcnance of the family can be grown
between the trees, aad if the neigh
Dor ood has been well selected,
every member of the family able
and willing to work can find pleas
ant and renumerative labor in or
chards and vinegar ds near by, and
minister to the support of the family
while acquiring the knowledge and
skill necessary to the handling OF
their own crop.
The third year considerable re-
turn may be expected from the
vineyard, and from part OF the or
chard. AS the work has all been
done within the family, this will be
nearly all net income. The next
year and thereafter there will be
work enough on the home place.
Costly buildings are not neces
sary, for the climate is such that in
much Of the State life in the open
air is entirely pleasant for three
hundred days in the year.
In the Coast Range Of noun
tains, between San Francisco and
Monterey, are many such homes.
At first, they were made on the
valley land on either side of the
range. Year after year they have
crept up into the little valleys be.
tween the spurs of the foothills: {:
then on to the foot hills, and in
many places clear to the SUBMITS.
All through they have found excel.
lent soil good pure water, and ev-
erywhere an exceedingly healthlul
climate. Nestled in these little val
leys are some Of the most delightful
places in the world. So mild is the
climate that fuchsias and geraniums
grow all winter and the family gar.
den is planted in the fall, yielding
good crops Of peas, potatoes and any
emi-hardy vegetables in February.
There is plenty Of land, equally
productive, now i'm the market and
is low priced, and persons looking
for a location for a comfortable |
home should not fail 10 visit this
promising region.
