FARMING IN SEMI-TROPICAL CALIFORNIA. No. 5. NUTS. The almond has been sufficiently tested in California to prove that the tree is vigorous, hardy and a prolific bearer of first quality nuts. This is more particularly true of the Languedoc and other soft shell varieties. The hard shell varieties, which were first planted in Los Angeles county, although healthy, vigorous trees, do not bear large crops. The reason probably is that all varieties of almonds bloom very early in the winter, at a time when even in this climate, frosts occasionally occur; and although these frosts are light (the thermometer never having fallen below 25° Farenheit, except on two days last April, during the last twenty years) they are sufficient occasionally to blight the bloom or destroy the tender young germs just set on. It has been found however, that by budding the almond on the peach, which blooms later, the risk of injury from frost is almost entirely avoided, and nurserymen use the peach stock almost entirely. Hereof the extensive cultivation of the almond has been principally confined to that part of the State lying to the north of what I have defined as semi-tropical California. The probabilities are that it can be profitably cultivated wherever the peach tree can; but whether the almond will be as short lived as the peach is in most places is not yet ascertained, but it is an important question for those localities. Here no man will ever find it necessary to renew his plantations of peach or almond on account of their failure to bear from old age. In those parts of the State where the semi-tropical fruits do not flourish, the almond has been adopted as a profitable substitute. Gen. Bidwell, at Chico, near the head of the Sacramento valley, has a large orchard which produces almonds of the finest quality. There are also orchards in the counties lying on the bay of San Francisco, but probably the largest plantations in the State are in the county of the fact that the nuts are of very large size and flavor. They will bear transportation, and the crop is one that may be considered absolutely certain. Besides planting in orchards, it is an excellent plan to plant these trees along roads and outside boundaries of other orchards, as being deciduous, it makes shade in summer when it is wanted, and none in the winter when it is not wanted. Besides its large top and broad spreading branches break the force of the wind from the orange, lemon and other trees, when they are loaded with fruit. To give an idea of the profit of these trees: 40 trees per acre, 12 years old, yielding 100 lbs of nuts each, would amount to 4,000 lbs. At 10 cents per pound, the wholesale rate, it would be $400 per acre. There is also a great demand for these nuts, when half grown, for pickling. At this stage they will weigh about double what they will when mature, and bring an equally high rate, the pickled article having a fine flavor and being in great demand. The black walnut, or the native walnut of the Atlantic States, has been tried in California and grows and produces well. The nut has but little commercial value, but the wood is in such demand for cabinet work that it would undoubtedly pay to plant it in forest for its timber. This is particularly the case in California, as our growing season lasts nearly the whole year, trees make timber twice as fast as in the Atlantic States. The chestnut, pecan and shell bark have all been tried in California. They commence bearing at an early age, compared to other countries, and thrive admirably. Their nuts have a commercial value and their cultivation will undoubtedly pay for nuts alone. THE OLIVE Thrives almost all over this State, being a hardly and vigorous tree. At all the old Missions the old trees are to be found of very large size, bearing yearly heavy crops of fruit. The tree is propagated by cuttings, quite as easily as the willow and after the second year requires little or no care. At the age of seven years it commences to bear, and the crops continue to increase with the increasing growth of the tree for hundreds of years. The fruit is used for pickling and also for making oil, and the crop pays now at the present high rate for labor; and In those parts of the State where the semi-tropical fruits do not flourish, the almond has been adopted as a profitable substitute. Gen. Bidwell, at Chico, near the head of the Sacramento valley, has a large orchard which produces almonds of the finest quality. There are also orchards in the counties lying on the bay of San Francisco, but probably the largest plantations in the State are in the county of Santa Barbara, where Messrs. Holliser, Cooper and others have planted the almond very extensively, with every probability of a profitable return. The few trees in this county that are old enough to bear, yield good crops of first-quality nuts, and afford encouragement to those who have planted extensively. To give an idea of the vigorous growth of the almond in this valley, trees half an inch in diameter, planted in March, 1874, measured four inches in diameter in July 1875, (16 months) and this without irrigation or anything more than ordinary care. If that rate of growth is continued many years it will be necessary to give these trees plenty of room, and I think they should be planted not less than 30 feet apart or 100 to the acre. As the tree does not need irrigation, abundance of good land for almond culture can be had at prices ranging from $10 to $40 per acre. When trees are to be grown without irrigation the previous preparation of the land should be thorough and to secure the best results the land should not only be thoroughly plowed but also subsouled. For reasons already given, I should advise the selection of trees budded on peach stocks at say 18 months from the seed. These should remain in the nursery one year after budding. The trees would then be about 3 years old and should not then cost more than 20 or 25 cents each for the very best varieties. COST OF FIVE ACRES OF ALMONDS. 5 acres of land at $100.00 2 plowings and 1 subsolling at $10 per acre. 100 trees at 25 cts. each Planting at $5 per acre. 25.00 $425.00 Two years interest at 10 per cent. 85.00 Total cost of orchard at 8 years.$510.00 The second year after planting, the trees will bear sufficient to pay the expense of cultivation, provided no crop was raised on the ground; but on and after the third year, a good and constantly increasing crop may be expected. I am aware that the custom is to plant from 25 to 50 per cent. more trees per acre than I have estimated; and possibly on poor soil, where the trees do not make much growth, they may not be too much crowded, but in this section, where land is cheap and good, it is better to secure the best results from each tree by giving them plenty of room, than to be forced to dig up and destroy valuable trees because they were too crowded, by an inordinate greed for gain. The roots of trees require sunshine as well as the leaves, and space should be left for THE OLIVE. Thrives almost all over this State, being a hardy and vigorous tree.

The fruit is used for pickling and also for making oil, and the crop pays now at the present high rate for labor; and as in the usual course of new settlements, this cost of labor diminishes with the increase of population, the olive will doubtless prove one of our most profitable productions. The fresh oil sells readily at $5 per gallon at wholesale and the difference between the genuine olive oil of California, and the lard oil of Cincinnati exported to France and returned to the United States, in bottles with fancy labels under the guise of olive oil, is decidedly marked. [The foregoing is the eleventh of a series of articles, written for the Gazette by Wm. R. Olden, Esq. These articles will hereafter be published in pamphlet form.] AROUND THE COUNTY. Felipe Gonzales suicided in Los Angeles. A daughter has been born to the wife of E. E. Hewitt. It is rumored in Los Angeles that Dave Buell had been killed in the McCracken mine, Arizona. The new bridge across the river at Sanford's crossing will be about four hundred feet long and will cost about $10,000. Kenneth McKenzie, a house and sign painter, well known in Anaheim, died at the County Hospital on Monday morning. The San Fernando tunnel, when pierced, will be 6,800 feet long. The work is progressing with the utmost energy of which it is susceptible. The Fourth Congressional District Convention of the Independents will be held at Santa Barbara on the 24th instant. John McCann, while engaged in hauling bricks, fell before the cart wheels, which passed over his hands, lacerating them fearfully. Hewitt, a Los Angeles hackman, has been arrested on a charge of poisoning "Rubber Boy" and "Riverside," two horses belonging to Askin. The Fair of the Southern District Agricultural Society will commence on Monday, the 22d day of November, and continue six days.

I am aware that the custom is to plant from 25 to 50 per cent. more trees per acre than I have estimated; and possibly on poor soil, where the trees do not make much growth, they may not be too much crowded, but in this section, where land is cheap and good, it is better to secure the best results from each tree by giving them plenty of room, than to be forced to dig up and destroy valuable trees because they were too crowded, by an inordinate greed for gain. The roots of trees require sunshine as well as the leaves, and space should be left for the sun to warm and renovate the earth with its rays. Parties, conversant with the profits of almond culture, say that they will pay handsomely if two good crops can be secured in each five years. That they will pay is pretty evident; or at all events some men have faith that they will, as Col. Hollister, of Santa Barbara, has an orchard of 25,000, and Mr. Cooper, of the same place, has also an orchard of 12,500 almond trees. Men of their known business sagacity would not have gone to the enormous expense required to plant and cultivate such large plantations unless they were sure. The almond can scarcely be classed among perishable products, and its sale is not confined to any particular locality; it has the whole world for a market. THE WALNUT. By this term is meant the tree commonly known as the English walnut, or the walnut of commerce in semitropical California. These trees acquire a growth and vigor which I have seen nowhere else. Trees in Anaheim, that have had little or no care, 14 years of age, have attained such a size that they measure 42 inches in circumference around their trunks, and shade with the spread of their branches, a circle of 35 feet in diameter. These trees, with ordinary care and attention, begin to bear nuts at nine years, and at twelve years will produce 100 lbs of nuts per tree; at 16 years 200 lbs of nuts per tree, and so on with a corresponding annual increase. The immense and rapid growth of this tree requires plenty of space for its best development; they should not be planted less than 60 feet apart, as at that distance their branches will probably touch by the time they are 20 years old. This tree is valuable from two horses belonging to Askin. The Fair of the Southern District Agricultural Society will commence on Monday, the 22d day of November, and continue six days. A shooting affray occurred at El Monte between two men named Stevens and Holt. The former received a missile in the left breast and a flesh wound in the arm. Wounds not serious. L. F. Sheets, recently from Iowa, who has been stopping at Wilmington for some weeks, has purchased a forty-acre tract of land near Tustin City, at $70 per acre. Mr. Sheets thinks he will like that part of the valley.—Wilmington Enterprise. Mr. Dunlap, of the firm of Standefer & Dunlap, of Los Nietos, was driving a horse out at the race track near San Bernardino, when he came into collision with a wagon driven by Ab. Ellis. The shaft of Ellis' wagon struck Dunlap in a vital part, and physicians declare him fatally injured. The best sources of information in this city say that we shall have a corn crop this year, one-fourth greater than that of any previous season. The crop in Los Nietos and the Monte is unusually heavy, and a great deal of new land has been sown on the Coyote, Santa Gertrudes and in the vicinity of Compton. The small grain crop is far more satisfactory than was anticipated. —Express. One of the editors of the Los Angeles Express has been interviewing Senator Jones. Among other things he said: "On the San Vicente ranch I intend to plant forests of eucalyptus, and other trees, which will be valuable even as trees, to say nothing of their aid in beautifying the face of the country. I intend to go into farming on a large scale, and just as I go into the work of building a railway. I shall sink a dozen artesian wells in Santa Monica. Summer fallowing, deep plowing and early sowing are all that are needed to demonstrate that the lands of Los Angeles county, without irrigation, are as fine as any on the continent. I shall advertise to have the plowing done, say to a depth of twelve or fifteen inches, and I shall have my agents there to see that it is done right. Some thousands of acres treated in this way and resulting, as I have no doubt, in a fine crop, will leave the drones and crankers no refuge but to go and do likewise."

Steamers will leave San Francisco for Santa Monica on the 12 and 12th, to convey passengers to the great land sale. Articles of incorporation of the Charlotte Consolidated Gold Mining Company have been filed in the office of the Secretary of State. Principal place of business, Los Angeles. On Tuesday evening, Mr. A. T. Hawley, local editor of the Los Angeles Star, was stabbed by a nineteen-year old hoodlum named John Mayer. It appears that Mayer was in the neighborhood of the Grange store conducting himself boisterously and using language which caused the ladies in the neighborhood to retire within doors. Mr. Hawley demonstrated with him and in the scuffle which ensued Mayer stabbed him with a knife. It was at first thought that the wound was fatal, but his splendid physique has carried him through the most dangerous crisis and there is every hope of his recovery. His assailant has been arrested and is now in jail. NEWS IN BRIEF. The Democrats have nominated D. L. Buell for Governor of Minnesota. Beecher's salary has been increased to $100,000 per year. There were only 73 accidents in New York Monday from fireworks. A recent Chicago Grand Jury had eight colored men in it. The crops in Nebraska are reported to be in a flattering condition. Recent failures in London amount to nearly $3,000,000. Harrington Luddington has been nominated by the Republicans for Governor of Wisconsin. There was a collision of steamers July 5th near Norfolk.

State of California, that Recent failures in London amount to nearly $3,000,000. Harrington Luddington has been nominated by the Republicans for Governor of Wisconsin. There was a collision of steamers July 5th near Norfolk. Ten persons perished. The Prussian Government has decided to build a Naval hospital in San Francisco, for the use of its squadron on the Pacific coast. W. A. Piper received the Democratic nomination for Congress for the first District. The nomination gives great dissatisfaction and there is talk of repudiating it. The stage from Fiddletown, while on the road down to connect with the railroad at Latrobe, was stopped by two masked highwaymen and robbed of $7,000 in bullion. In London three prominent Congregational ministers have signed a declaration, open to signatures, expressing a judgment and feelings favorable to Beecher's character. No wonder they talk of starting a Democratic paper in Chicago. The Times, which is the nearest approach to that article at present, calls the Ohio Democratic platform "an interesting product of combined demagogism and ruscality." A Granger is credited with the remark that Bidwell displayed wretched judgment in digging up his grape vines, instead of grafting them, in order to change the stock. He thinks that a man displaying so little judgment in his life-long occupation is unfit for Governor. The Mark Lane Express says that the weather in England is calculated to greatly hinder haying and harvesting, dryness being required. Hence it looks very threatening for future prices. It is one shilling and in some markets two shillings higher. At a banquet in London on Monday, Minister Schenck said both England and America had derived benefit from the Declaration of Independence. Friendly feelings were now the rule between the two countries. Mr. T. Owens said the Queen, as he knew, never turned against America in its day of trouble.

All was ready yesterday afternoon for the execution of Felisario Alipas. But it was expected that some response would be made by Governor Pacheco to the request that had been forwarded, suggesting that this was a case in which the exercise of clemency would not be misplaced; the truth being that the really guilty man, Cueyo, has so far escaped sentence on account of real or simulated insanity, leaving only the boy Alipas, his tool in the murder; to suffer the penalty of the law. Those who had been invited by the Sheriff to be present, had long assembled. Alipas had been fully prepared by Father Ubach to meet his fate, and had shaken hands with all. The Sheriff was preparing to lead him out to the gallows —when the following telegraphic dispatch was received: SACRAMENTO, July 2. To N. Hunseaker, Sheriff: Reprieve granted to Felisario Alipas for sixty days. R. PACHECO, Governor. The poor fellow was very much affected when this intelligence was communicated to him, and, indeed, there was a very general feeling of relief on the part of all present.
