Lewis s. Northrop's dairy of Jersey cows are about as fine as are to be found in this part of the country. Mir Northrop raises his own stock and is careful to have none but the best. The creamery is managed by Mrs North rop lwho is an experienced and first class butter maker), and the quality of butter cannot be excelled. For conven- fence it is pressed in l-2 pound cakes and MT Northrop's monogram is stamped on each one. It is shiped in boxes made for the purpose so that his customers may secure it in the exact condition as when it left the creamery.

Almond Culture.

In these times of anxiety and uncertainty in trade and investments, the inquirers seek ing to know about the prospects in Southern California have doubled. It is, perhaps, the only place in our Icountry where intelligent, cultivated people can command comforta- ble income from 10 acres, without hard labor, and have most of the time besides. It is done by fruit and nut culture. The most beautiful and refined homes and the wealthiest COT munities, per capita, in the United States, are found in Southern California. As invest ment there is nothing equal to it. Besides the natural increase in the value ot land in a growing community, the returns of the trees come into bearing are, in some instances, as much as 200 per cent net, annually.
