SANTA ANA.

Plenty of Rsin-Court Cases-LOcAl
Notes.
SANTA ANA, March 2.-This morning about
1880 it commenced raining, and has rained
all the afternoon, with no signs Of stopping.
The small grain was needing rain badly, and
now the ranchers are assured OF a good crop of
barley. The rain is falling just fast enough for
the ground to take it in as fast as IL falls. This
rain will undoubtedly make times better to a
certain degree, for nearly all the ranchers stop
buying as soon as the appearance of dry sea-
son is apparent There Is now no danger but
what we win have plenty of rain for the com
ing crops. Everybody feels happy over the
prospects.
There will be an unusually large acreage
planted to corn, with the intention Of raising
hogs to feed it to. The farmers are talking
"hog" more than ever before. There is not as
good locality for raising hogs as in this
valley, and everyone knows that hogs always
command good price. "Give us more hogs to
buy more land to raise more corn to feed more
hogs" is an eastern adage that should apply
to Orange county, and from all appearances it
win.
