On Owhyhee they have strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, and wild apples, and many other kinds of fruit; they have excellent oranges, lemons, limes, citrons, pine-apples, etc., etc.; they also cultivate the tobacco plant, of which the natives use an immense quantity, as men, women and children smoke a great deal. The cotton and coffee grows here very well. They have plenty of cattle, sheep, goats, hogs, ducks, geese, fowls, etc., and a few horses. The cattle go about wild, and are not allowed to be shot without permission from the King Tameameah. Mr. Manning the Spaniard, keeps a large herd of tame cattle, and makes excellent butter and cheese; he has several Indians to take care of them, and they are penned up regularly. Some of the wild cattle often come in with this herd, and are penned up, but allowed to go out in the morning.
