>.£l nhvnys be borne in mind,
when any one is describing California,
hat he can find no analogy in any
:ouniry under the sun, and consequcnt-
y, cannot convey to the mind of one
a ho has never seen cither this country,
tr any (hing like it, an adequate idea,
or any thing approaching thereto. The
climate, the soil, the water, the face of
the country, and the stupendous scale
on which business of every description
is conducted, are entirely different from
any thing he has ever known. The ve
ry people who are, and who have been,
for years in this country, oqd engaged
in its operations, are still In ignorance
as to its resources and future destiny ;
they seize upon lime and occasions, as
they from day to day present them
selves, and pretend to"very little knowl
edge of the future. How then can I
furnish you any opinion on which either
you or lean rely? 1 have no confi
dence in my own judgment, except as
it may relate to the precise present tim
I do know what I see, but there is no teL
ling how soon another and entirely dif
ferent state of things will present itself.
To give you as nearly as lean a com
mon sense view of things, foe this is
what you desire, ! will begin by stating.

i lands, and the overwhelming multitudes j well, they had better ^ remain where
! of miners and traders, induced and kept
here by the mineral riches of the land,
provisions will richly remunerate the
producer. Besides, the whole country,
both mountains and plains, yields annu
ally, without the labor of man, a crop
of oats and barley unsurpassed in the
world : on these, “the cattle on a thou
sand hills” are kept perfectly fat, year
in and year out. No conception can be
formed by one who has not seen for
himself, of the herds of cattle, horses,
mules, and asses of the land. When I
tell you that these are in much larger
numbers, and more common through
en fl he country than hogs in Georgia,
you will scarcely be prepared to appre
ciate the statement, and 3’et it is liter
ally true. Grapes, pears, and figs
grow to great perfection. Apples and
peaches do not seem lo do so well.
The water generally, is not good—
far from it. There is, however, good
water along the mountain spurs, and iu
many portions of the up-country; but
the watered the coast, end even this far
out, is not good. The climate is of the
most singular, and generally unpleas
ant character. Every twenty of thirty
miles, in any direction, gives a different
climate. At Sau Francisco, the whole
summer through, the winds amount al
most to a storm, and are so cold as to
require heavy winter clothing, while
clouds of fog hang almost perpetually
over the entire coast country. At Ben-
ecia, twenty-five miles north, the tem
perature is very much milder, and twen
ty or thirty miles higher still, you
have intolerable heal, mosquitoes and
sickness. Here (San Jose) we have
a temperate climate, never very hot or
cold, and on the whole, uniform ; yet,
the the north-west winds are occasion
ally
they are. In cases where means
very limited, and they have hard work
to provide a competency, I think an ad
venture to California justifiable, and
should with all I know, were I iu such
a case, come ; but should make up my
mind first, to suffer and deny myself
most of the comforts of life for a few
years. Young men, unless well settled
in their habits, risk too much in coming.
Allow me to say, that oar missionary
prospects are good. .yOn this subject
we will be heard frem through the
Southern Christian Advocate, from ii>
to time. •

To deep plowing, Mr. Cone ascribes
the increase of the yield of his fields,
15 bushels, per acre, to the pro
duct above, which it his. estimate of the
large load” of unmeasured grain be
correct, and the yield was 212 bushels
the 4 acres 100 rods, at the rate of
45 bushels 50 lbs. per acre—an increase
that goes far to prove the efficacy of
deep plowing, and deep pasturage for
plants,—it virtually made each acre of
his lot more than equal to three before
he abandoned the skinning plan, and
took the resolution of going deep into
bowels of the earth, in search of the salts
buried in the poisonous hard pan. We
never had nay faith lhal the subsoil con
tained mailers deleterious lo healthful
vegetation that would not be neutral
ized by exposure to the action of lhe
atmosphere and the application of lime
ur ashes, and each year’s experience
but serves to convince us that^the hard
pan is only a bug-bear of the imagina
tion. If the poison so much dreaded
in the subsoil, really does exist 1 here,
why is it that its destructive action is
not more apparent with deep than.shal
low plowing ? Tito roots of wheat,
corn, and other plants penetrate far
deeper than the line of ordinary plow
ing—why is it then, that the injury
should not be ns manifest in oue case
as in the other ?
How Much Potm will a Bushel of
Corn Make ?—By some experiments
tried, it is believed’ that a bushel of corn,
fed to a thrifty hog, will make twelve
pounds of pork. So that corn at twen
ty-four cents is equal to pork at two
cents, and corn at seventy-two -cents a
bushel is equal to six cents a pound.—
j The manure will more than pay for
the labor of feeding and killing the
hogs.
Manure.—The best manure for trees
is decayed leaves. To a cord of this,
add four bushels of oyster-shell limo
and one of salt, and as much charcoal
as you like, and you will find it a val
uable compost for fruit trees or .shrub
bery. Wood ashes, or potash, in mod
erate quantities, in any shape, will be
found valuable.
