California as a Place for Rural Homes. There is no part of the world better adapted by all that nature can do, for comfortable rural homes, than is California, That this phase of life has not more rapidly developed is chiefly attributable to the fact that so large a portion of the parts of the State where permanent settlements were first founded, was distributed in immense Spanish grants, making large holdings, whose owners were averse to selling any at their possessions. The “Whirligig of Time” that makes all things even, has greatly changed this feature. These tracts are now being snbdivided and sold, and a home seeker will find no difficulty in obtaining at a reasonable outlay, a place that must satisfy the most exacting. It is sometimes said that to live in California oneimust be wealthy. On the contrary, there is no other plaee where a family of moderate means can make a living more easily, or where they can enjov onehalf the luxuries that are within their reach In California. It certainly is not wise for a family to land there with nothing ahead. One who has not been thrifty enough to accumulate a little in other places would hardly succeed there. But little capital, however, is required. A small tract of land, ten or twenty acres, is ample; a few acres in vineyard and a few m orchard, both carefully selected in regard to varieties, and in from three to live years there is assured an annual income of from f 1,500 to •8,000. The work should, and can, be done all within the family, and this income will therefore be nearly all net. Expensive buildings are not necessary, as the weather is always mild, life in the open air being entirely agreeable for ten months of the year. During the time the orchard is coming Into bearing, enough can be raised between tho trees to furnish a family with subsistence, and as there is no fruit crop to harvest on the home place, there is time, as there is always opportunity, for those who choose, to find pleasant and remunerative labor upon places already in bearing, and this may add materially to the income. Almost the entire coast range of mountains, especially froih San Francisco to near Monterey, with the adjacent foothills, is admirably adapted to home-making in this way. The soil is fertile and well-watered, the climate all one can ask, and land in abundance can be had at a low price and on easy terms.
