Southern Californian GEORG. C. KNOK... EDITOR. SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1874. Written for the California. THE ANAHEIM VALLEY AS A DAIRY COUNTRY. In Nordhoff’s article on Northern California, published in the December number of Harper’s Magazine, he describes Mr. Charles Webb Howard’s dairy rancho on Point Reyco. This is generally considered one of the best, and certainly is one of the best managed dairy establishments in California. The land lies immediately upon the coast, and the abundant rains, and constant fogs, furnish plenty of moisture, keeping the grass green later in the season than on most of the other dairy lands in that part of the State, consequently it may be considered far better than the average of the others. There is 18,000 acres of land, divided into convenient fields, and every requisite provided for the successful and profitable management of the business. Upon these 18,000 acres, 1,520 cows are kept, and as 20 per cent. of calves are raised yearly, there is about 600 young cattle kept also. This would make an equivalent for about one full-grown animal for each ten acres, so that it takes all of the natural growth of grass on ten acres, under the most favorable conditions, to support one dairy cow, in the Northern part of the State. This land, with the improvements, must be worth not less than $50 per acre land for each cow ($5), value of cow. $100 total. $600. Average yield of butter, 175 pounds, at say 40 cents per pound, $70. This is a gross yield of 80 per cent. upon the $600 of capital invested, and, as the expenses of the management have yet to be deducted, it does not offer any very strong inducement to capitalists as an investment, even if we offset the expenses by the value of the beef cattle sold from the rancho. So much for Northern California. Richland or Orange) was a vast uninhabited plain, save a few adobe ranch houses what are now fruitful fields, orchards, of every variety of fruit potted exclusively to the climate, beautiful gardens pleasant homes. Was then one van devoted exclusively to the grazing of tangs and long horned Mexican The land was not in market then, to suit purchasers, while on this side Santa Ana all of the Stearns’ Rancho, yet much very fertile land remains unsold, and but few sales made, while on the other side of the Santa Ana ranch, scarcely a lot is left, and I believe the natural tages are in favor of this side. May have bought here have never lived their land and others who have lived theirs, would leave it if they could good circumstances as when they Why is it that all the land is sold and improved and the settlers pro on one side of the river, while on the large area is unsold, a large area tled and the settler is generally unperous? The answer can be given word-water. Messrs. Chapman & Glassell, but like before putting their land in constructed a ditch a distance twelve miles, and when they had abundance, their lands went off cakes at $25,$30,$40. And I be high as $50 per acre; while on it is selling at from $10 to $15 and acre. We have tried farming water, and have succeeded in raising two crops in five years, while the Company, who own their thousand acres, and are worth their tens of dollars, will not take towards bringing the water in on nor aid the unfortunate settlers bought from them. My advice who are looking for real estate must be worth not less than $50 per acre land for each cow $5, value of cow, $100 total, $600. Average yield of butter, 175 pounds, at say 40 cents per pound, $70. This is a gross yield of 80 per cent. upon the $600 of capital invested, and, as the expenses of the management have yet to be deducted, it does not offer any very strong inducement to capitalists as an investment, even if we offset the expenses by the value of the beef cattle sold from the rancho. So much for Northern California. In the best dairy districts of the southeastern part of New York State, land is worth $150 per acre, and three acres are required to sustain each cow, a part being devoted to pasture, and the remainder reserved for the production of hay, roots and grain for winter use. Capital invested: Land, $450; cow, $100; cost of cultivation, stabling, and extra attendance, $100; total, $650. Gross yield of butter, say 225 pounds, at say 40 cents gold, $90; gross yield 7½ per cent. This is not a flattering result for the capital invested. So much for "Orange county butter." An average acre, of the natural pastures, of the Anaheim valley, will furnish abundant feed for one cow during the whole year. Some acres will sustain three, but as people who have never seen these remarkable pastures, may be inclined to be incredulous. I will say one cow to two acres, and as the cow has all the green feed throughout the year that she can eat, and is not exposed to the vicissitudes of heat or cold, rain or snow, she will produce a larger yield of milk, butter or cheese, from the fact that so small a portion of her food is required to sustain life. I will, therefore, place her product in the shape of butter, at 225 pounds, worth 40 cents per pound. The account stands: Two acres of land, $40; cow, $100; total, $140. Value of butter $90—nearly 70 per cent on the capital invested. This is a moderate estimate, particularly as regards the price of butter, for in the fall and winter, when other pastures are dry, these pastures are at their best, and fresh grass butter, at that season of the year, readily commands from 60 cents to $1 per pound in San Francisco. So much for our natural pastures. An acre of Alfalfa will cost, say $40, an follows: Cost of land, $20; proportionate cost of artesian well and ditches, $10; plowing and seeding, $10; total $40. If pastured, one acre will sustain two cows; if the grass is used for soiling, it will easily maintain four. In the first instance, the return will be 75 per cent, and in the second, the yield will be over 85 per cent, gross, on the capital invested. These figures will of course seem large, but they are not in the least exaggerated. On the contrary, the truth would make the estimates much more favorable than I have made them. If dairyman, who really understand their business, will bring their cattle here and devote themselves to the cakes at $25,$30,$40. And I believe high as $50 per acre while on this it is selling at from $10 to $15 and acre. We have tried farming water, and have succeeded in raising two crops in five years, while the Company, who own their thousand acres, and are worth their tens of dollars, will not take towards bringing the water in one nor aid the unfortunate settlers bought from them. My advice who are looking for real estate to make homes or speculate, is to tell that which cannot be irrigated, large land monopolies who will have few dollars judiciously to render arable, can of course make it promising of it all that it is fit for water—a sheep range. ANAHEIM. January 1st, 1874. THE HOLIDAYS AT WESTMINSTER. WESTMINSTER. January 1st. Eller Southern California: The holidays have come and gone celebration of them are among those of the past; for us at Westminster will long be remembered with pleasure. On Christmas Eve we had an in Christmas tree. Although the moments were hastily made, the affine entertaining. Mr. F. W., the role of Santa Claus to the enaction of all concerned and to the amusement of the little folks. Day was celebrated in due for meeting of all or nearly all of them on the colony at the school-house cold lunch was served at noon and more than satisfied. After lunch and toasts were the order of the remarks were quite witty ed much amusement. Beauty was rendered by the Westminster although a principal member was attending to a private crier of her young folks were not satisfied day's entertainment, so they met on one of the latest settlers in premises, were cordially received the evening in playing social enjoyment. THE CULTIVATION OF Among the many productions now engaging the attention of the northern part of the State cultivation of flax. Its adaptable soil and climate of California has tested, and with the most flattered In the vicinity of San Jose M Gilroy, it has been demonstrated a most profitable crop to the practice experiments hitherto made in social enjoyment, have been attended w plowing and seeding, $10; total $20. If pastured, one acre will sustain two cows; if the grass is used for soiling, it will easily maintain four. In the first instance, the return will be 75 per cent, and in the second, the yield will be over 85 per cent, gross, on the capital invested. These figures will of course seem large, but they are not in the least exaggerated. On the contrary, the truth would make the estimates much more favorable than I have made them. If dairymen, who really understand their business, will bring their cattle here, and devote themselves to the production of butter and cheese, there will, in a short time, be no doubt about these facts. The dairy products of this valley are destined to revolutionize that business in this State. Many of the people here are now engaged in making butter in a small way, for the local market, and although some of it is excellent and strictly first class, the greater part is as bad as can be turned out in any part of the State. Our facilities for marketing our products are as good as at any place on the coast. The steamers from San Francisco stop regularly at Anabeim Landing and San Pedro, every six days, and not only butter and cheese, but all kinds of produce is carried at low rates. The cost of freight and lighterage on grain to San Francisco by steamer, is but $4 25 per ton. We have perfect climate, a most fertile valley, an ample supply of water for irrigation, and consequently oceans of the finest pasture. I invite our northern and eastern dairymen to come and see for themselves if this statement is not the plain and unexaggerated truth. Wm. R. Olden. MAC'S VIEWS. Editor Southern California: A few days ago, in company with a few friends, I took a pleasure ride through the Richland and Tustin country, and was amazed at the rapid progress that has been made on that side of the river in substantial improvements, etc. Five years ago, when I came to Anabeim, the Santa Ana rancho (on which is now located the villages of Tustin City, Santa Ana and... Orange) was a vast uninhabited area of low adobe ranch houses; and now fruitful fields, thriving of every variety of fruit peculiar to the climate, beautiful gardens, and farms. Was then one vast plain delimitively to the grazing of man-made long horned Mexican cattle. Was not in market then, in lots cherished, while on this side of the all of the Stearns' Ranchos market in quantities from ten and active agents employed to show the land, etc. Much been sold from the Stearns' at much very fertile land yet unsold, and but few sales are being made on the other side of the river. Santa Ana ranch, scarcely a ten acre and I believe the natural advantage favor of this side. Many who right here have never lived upon and others who have lived upon could leave it if they could in as circumstances as when they settled that all the land is sold, settled saved and the settlers prosperous side of the river, while on the other area is unsold, a large area unset—the settlers generally unprosperate. The answer can be given in one letter. Chapman & Glassell, business-ore putting their land in market, had a ditch a distance of about miles, and when they had water in their lands went off like hot $25, $30, $40, and I believe as $50 per acre while on this side going at from $10 to $15 and $20 per heave tried farming without having succeeded in raising about five years, while the Land who own their thousands of acres are worth their tens of thousand dollars, will not take any steps bringing the water in on this side. The unfortunate settlers who have from them. My advice to those looking for real estate to either purchase in to touch not CLEANING. The King of Portugal has preclaimed a stoppage of the Occlie trade at Macso and closed the harbours. The total amount of assessments during 1873 on 148 mining claims in the Pacific States and Territories, amounted to $6,729,743. The U.S. steamer Junista, Commander Braine, from Santiago de Cuba with 102 persons, formerly of the steamer Virginis, arrived at New York on last Saturday. Van Bever and Thompson of Napa, have 62,000 gallons of angelica, port, claret and white wine, of which 50,000 gallons are new and 12,000 old wines. Much of it will go East. Rufus Hatch, Vice President and Managing Director of the Pacific Mail, has fixed the rate of passage from New York to San Francisco at $100 to $110 in the cabin, and $50 in the steerage. The appointment of Caleb Cushing as Minister to Spain was favorably received at Havana. The Spaniards are loud in expressions of satisfaction at the resignation of Sickles, whom they charge with instigating many of the intestine troubles of the peninsula. The Congressional Committee on Agriculture is overwhelmed with grangers' petitions from all parts of the country. These petitions cover a vast variety of requests, and are coming at the rate of fifty to one hundred daily. The Secretary of the Treasury speaks more hopefully than heretofore of the condition of the Treasury, and expresses the belief that with continued increase in the amount of receipts, a large reduction in the public expenditures, the necessity for additional taxation may be lessened.

Northern California: Holidays have come and gone; our nation of them are among the things hastilly made; for us at Westminster they may be remembered with feelings of Christmas Eve we had an impromptu tree. Although the arrangement were hastily made, the affair proved entertaining. Mr. F. W. Poor filled up Santa Claus to the entire satisfaction of all concerned and to the infinite moment of the little folks. New Years is celebrated in due form, by the king of all or nearly all of the settlers colony at the school-house. A plain bench was served at noon and all were than satisfied. After lunch, speeches were the order of the day. Some remarks were quite witty and afforded much amusement. Beautiful music rendered by the Westminster Choir, though a principal member was absent to a private crier of her own, who finally arrived at the colony. The folkers were not satisfied with the entertainment, so they made a raid of the latest settlers, invaded his houses, were cordially received, and at the evening in playing games and enjoyment. THE CULTIVATION OF FLAX. Long the many productions which are engaging the attention of farmers in northern part of the State is the cultivation of flax. Its adaptability to the land climate of California has been fully realized, and with the most flattering results, the vicinity of San Jose Mayfield and Bay, it has been demonstrated that it is not profitable crop to the producer, and experiments hitherto made in that sector have been attended with so much grangers' petitions from all parts of the country. These petitions cover a vast variety of requests, and are coming at the rate of fifty to one hundred daily. The Secretary of the Treasury speaks more hopefully than heretofore of the condition of the Treasury, and expresses the belief that with continued increase in the amount of receipts, a large reduction in the public expenditures, the necessity for additional taxation may be lessened. The annual report of the Commissioners of Emigration show a slight falling off of the number of emigrants from last year. The arrivals for 1573 were 266,011, as opposed to 292,933 for 1871. Ireland and Germany have furnished the largest number. Ireland, 76,083; Germany, 15,749; Scotland and England, 32,713; France, 1,597; Italy, 6,770; other countries, very few. The Mormons have brought 2,347 during the year. A Washington despatch says: A bill has been framed and is to be introduced after the recess, abolishing the office of Chief Justice. It is said to have the support of Conkling, Morton and others of the leading legal minds of the Senate. It is contended that the presiding, or Chief of the Justices, should be selected by the voice of that body, if at all, and that his compeers would be best able to make a selection which would be satisfactory and creditable. The enormous expense attending the Modoc war has in all probability not yet ended. The settlers in Northern California are urging congressional representatives to have the government reimburse them for losses by Indians. Should the bills introduced in both Senate and House pass, it will be taken as evidence that Congress is disposed to make appropriations for damages sustained by such depredations. There is but little doubt that the widows of General Canby and Rev. Dr. Thomas will be allowed a pension. Lieutenant Commander Haswell, of the Ossipee, says they left Tortgas on the 19th with the Virginius in tow; on Saturday following, during the gale, the Virginius signalled that it was leaking badly; on Christmas morning she was still leaking badly; at daylight the fires were out and the crew asked to be taken off, which was done. A buoy was fixed to mark the position of the steamer when she sank. The Ossipee remained by till the Virginius sank to bottom, about ten miles south of Cape Fear. A New York Company which has been recently granted a State charitable grant is stock in the North Anaheim Canal Co., on account of the assessment levied on the 6th of September, 1873, (83), on the 11th of September, 1873, $2, and on account of the assessment levied on October 25th, 1872, $225, the amount set opposite the name of 'the' are holder, as follows: Name: No. of Shares: Amount: THE CULTIVATION OF FLAX. long the many productions which are engaging the attention of farmers in northern part of the State is the cultivation of flax. Its adaptability to the hard climate of California has been fully and with the most flattering results. The vicinity of San Jose Mayfield and it, it has been demonstrated that it is not profitable crop to the producer, and experiments hitherto made in that sector have been attended with so much success, that a very large area will be devised to its cultivation this season, and it will be become a most important item for the productions of that prolific valuation. As the farmers of Los Angeles county possess many agricultural advantages over brethren in the valley of San Jose, would commend the above facts to their valuable consideration, and hope that the next season will be chosen to test the evolution of flax in our county. ITS ABOUT TRANSPLANTING. Just at this particular time, it may be of benefit to reproduce the following tree from the Sacramento Record, on the inner of transplanting trees: A hole, according to the size of the two to four feet in diameter; the deeper bottom, and when ready to plant fill the with good soil, well pulverized, to a depth to permit the tree to set in at the same depth as it originally stood on the nursery; then cut back, or shorten the branches, and carefully examine the base, and with a sharp knife cut or pare off the braised parts; now set the tree, cutting the roots to take as near their natural position as possible; then fill in, be sure to mix the dirt thoroughly using the roots with your fingers, or otherwise. In handling the trees before planting, care should be taken not to bruise roots, or expose them to the air, sun, frost. To preserve the tree from borer's other injury the first summer, wrap the trunk with cloth—woolen is best. Many man and good trees have been rendered dry and worthless for life for want of proper care the first season. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. DANCING SCHOOL. MR. D., R. M.
