Sales of Land.


The following table shows the principal sales of farming and gardening lands in Yolo County since the Ist of Janu- ary, 1869, as shown by the county records up to August 1st, 1870. The names of the grantors are alphabetically ar- ranged. There have been many other transfers of real estate, but the lands conveyed thereby have been in some instances swamp and overflowed, in others mountain lands, and in others transfers of possessory rights, without title, so that it is believed the table shows a fair estimate of the transfers of the farming lands within the time specified :

Grape Culture.


As will be seen by reference to other parts of this work, the grape is largely cultivated in this county. The princi- pal variety now bearing is the Mission or California grape, though many foreign varieties have been planted, and are now producing excellent fruit. Those now engaged in put- ting out vineyards, mostly choose the foreign grape, prefer- ing them for wine-making for various reasons. The number of acres in grapes is about five hundred, not including many small lots. The value of the grape culture is best exempli- fied by taking the records of those who have made it a spe- cialty. Mr. N. Wyckoff, near Woodland, says: "At one cent per pound-assured-there is more money in the grape than in wheat. It will pay three times better, considering the cost of plowing, harvesting, wear of land, etc." In 1862, the gross yield of his grapes per acre amounted to one hun- dred and sixty-two dollars, netting him one hundred and twenty-five dollars per acre. If the farmer nets from seven to twelve dollars per acre on wheat, he does well-better by far than the average. One great want is felt, which, if supplied, would render grape culture one of the leading features of the county-an assured home market. If an organization could be formed, with capital sufficient to carry on wine-making and purchase the grapes grown in the county, but a few years would elapse before a large portion of the lands suitable would be planted in vineyards. J. Knauth, who has had the benefit of a California expe- rience in wine-making, pronounces the foothills of Yolo County, or portions of them, equal to the vine lands of Germany. As he possesses a scientific education, com- bined with a practical experience of twenty years in the vineyards of Germany, he should be considered good au- thority in this matter. Mr. Knauth visited the whole wine- growing portions of the State, and, after carefully and critically analyzing the soil in various localities, finally set- tled on the foothills of Yolo, as possessing the natural qual- ities of soil required to enable the wine grape to be grown successfully. One main feature of the foothills essentially

requisite in grape-growing districts, where it is intended to make wine, is the absence of alkali. Another fact which recommends them is this-the racy nature of the soil and the presence of the bed-rock, or a very hard substratum near the surface; this also being considered by grape- growers as essential. For these reasons principally the Orleans Vinicultural Association has located its vineyard, on the hills, near Capay Valley, where Mr. Knauth first started his vineyard, which now forms part of the Com- pany's grounds. The quality of this wine and the superior price obtained for it, at home and abroad, fully justify Mr. Knauth's predictions and selection.


Stock Interests of the County-Horses.


It is frequently said, when speaking of this county, that it is a grain county, and has only this one reliance; hence, in seasons when the grain crops fail, this county feels the loss more than many others. The remark is correct in the main, but still a very large amount is invested in stock in the county, a portion of which will not yield a large per cent. on the money invested, taking the supposed value of such stock as a basis for calculation. Poor stock, or poor qualities of stock, such as mustang horses and bronco cat- tle, will not pay well in any county, in comparison with bet- ter breeds. The half-breed cattle, now nearly exhausted in this county, do well for beef, but this market presents no demand for half-breed horses for the butchers' stalls. Al- though ready to adopt most of the French customs, the peo- ple of Yolo have not yet tried horse flesh as an article of food. There are in the county a large number of half-breed and mustang horses that to-day would not sell for the half of what it has cost to raise them, where pasturage is at all valuable or scarce, as it is in this county. Instead of di- minishing, they are on the increase in portions of the county, where allowed to run at large, and the consequent result has been large bands of horses of little value, which deprive an equal number of good horses of a place in the range. Were this matter rectified and clean cattle and
