Dairying.
This is an interest of great importance, a considerable portion of the
county being well adapted to this particular industry. The butter pro-
duced is highly appreciated in the San Francisco market, and the amount
annually exported from the county amounts to upwards of two million
pounds. Two creameries have recently been erected and are now in
operation for the manufacture of butter.
Wool Growing.
Prominent among the industries of the county is the growing of wool;
there is no superior in quality on the Pacific Coast. Back of the red-
wood section is the greater portion of the wool-raising part of the county;-
the country is well watered and affords the best of pasturage for sheep,
of which there were one hundred and forty-one thousand and eighty-one
in the county, as shown by the assessment roll of 1889. The annual clip
LB about eight hundred and sixty-five thousand pounds.
