BUTTER DAIRYING IN SOUTHERN 
CALIFORNIA. 
By Oenrkaj, J. H. Suieldh. 
If it bo asked why so much npoca is 
devoted to 1 1io dairy, it may lip replied, 
because t ho dairy imbihlry " cniiwriiH 
Wore hearths and homo* Ilian atiy oilier iu 
llm land." It is Hie gtent national and 
international subject. One and i.un> lliird 
billions of dollars an- invested in il iu I ho 
l nited .Slates. Aside from millioua of 
dolluiH wortli of milk iim d us milk, our 
annual product of hotter and cliocR*- ex¬ 
ceeds (be value of tin- wheat crop by fifty 
million dollars, and is one third greater in 
value Ilian the cotton orup. Mutter and 
rliis s- pay ocean lines, annually, a million 
dollars freight Butter, ebewse and milk 
pay our railroads ten million dollars 
freight annually. , Space is devoted r|,o 
dairy, because the fame of alfalfa and the 
success, here, of dairymou from the 
Western Reserve aud the regions of 
(JoshOn are awakening inquiry. It is not 
ifnrnia. The mutualities among the twenty-1 
aen fauns, dairies and beet flugarien, | 
combining with intrinsic capacities for 1 
I sustainingn dense population, will, in time, 
so dot llu; alfalfa and boat regions with [ 
cheese factories, creameries, sugar haul 
factories, related factories, related homes 
of fttutorv people, mid small farmers, that 
the whole country will resemble a village.
