Our Cattle and Sheep Interests.

California raises about 60 per cent
of the beef consumed in the State. The
reasons for this are obvious. Lands
are put to other uses that require
small areas and less expense than would
be the growing of cattle for market.
Such is the belief that prevails, which
in degree OF magnitude this theory
may be correct, but as an auxiliary of
the farm it is wrong. We believe that
a diversion of feed stuffs now exported
could be made In the direction of cattle
raising to a limited extent that would
give better returns than If extended to
one source
The raising of limited number of
high class steers each season for the
local market by the average farmer
would be most profitable. which idea If
made general would in the aggregate
finally stamp out importation from the
free range States adjoining Califor-
MIA. and improve the individual income
of those in it.
The same rule would apply to hog
raising. We annually import a large
proportion Of our consumption of hams,
bacon and lard.
The same with poultry and eggs. Ev-
cry farmer should send his quota Of

Tobacco Growing.

No better evidence that these annual
reports of the State Board of Agricul-
ture are followed by interested parties
is presentable than the fact of CORE
spon6ence received upon various mat
tiers contained therein. In the report
of 1865 we presented in detail facts up
On tobacco culture, and the demands
for that report have about exhausted

lish the paper in this volume, as it Is.
plain that the cultivation of this article
of trade is enlisting the attention of
many persons in this State.
As referred to by the Secretary of
Agriculture, the business Of tobacco
growing has become highly specialized,
each market has its own requirements,
each class of users has its own partic-
ular style and each season brings some
change of style which must be met by
the grower, hence IT is q study in itself.
The Department Of Agriculture recon-
mends the adoption by localities of an
accurate soil map showing by analysis
the soils adapted to the different types
and grades of tobacco. This is most
essential, as districts can then be plant
ed to the grade adapted to the soil,
thereby reducing failure and discour-
agement of planters. Growers should
follow this advice and submit soils in
tended for planting to the experiment
stations before attempting to grow to-
bacco. There are other important lines
Of study necessary before success is
assured, the curing and fermentation
methods as we'll as diseases should be
fully understood before capital is risked.
All these facts are easy obtainable, and
may be had upon application to the De-
partment Of Agriculture.

Financial..

The State Agricultural Society is an
organization that forms almost import
ant part Of the history of the State. 1T
was not the purpose of it's organizers
to create a money making institution
The policy adopted was to distribute
the profits in a manner that would en-
large the annual exhibitions. No re-
serve fund was established for perma-
nent improvements and repairs. These
were provided for as wanted, and the
result is Indebtedness followed The
society has at times been under debt
OF from $4,000 to $4,000, and worked
itself free, but not in times such as we
have had during the past few years.
Large expenses and small returns will
soon accumulate a deficiency of no
small magnitude. Expenses are gensr-
ally incurred prior to the beginning of
the annual fair, and any contingency
that arises in the interim to reduce the
receipts necessarily result in a loss. But
We are pleased with the results of last
season, as our Indebtedness has been
reduced $2,59396. The net indebted
ness of the society as shown by the
financial statement here attached is
So, 5O5.13, which amount with favor

should be reduced to a minimum in the

vincial municipalities that they are TO
have complete autonomy as far as
elections are concerned, except in the
choice Of mayors and their assistants

Mail advices from San Nicola deny
the existence of bands of outlaws in

morS of outrages originated IN the
theft of a horse which recently occur

General Gomez and the consulting

Governor General Brooke is inquiring
into the reported buying Of arms from
the Cubans by agents Of Colombia con-
pirators. One or two cattle ships sail
hence for Colombia ports n the sup
position is that it was intended to
smuggle small quantities OF arms from
here on these vessels. So far, howev-
er. nothing definite has been officially
elected. Private reports from Matan-
zas say that a few arms have been pur-
chased there, but for what point they
are destined is not known.
There are doubtless some thousands
of men here who are ready to enlist n
any foreign service hat promises good
pay, and agents of Don Carlos are
said to lave long lists of men willing
