immense Wheat Farms.
Twre are throe whontfanns in
the Situ .I.iaqnin Valiev with areas]
-itv .4 5M»,»D J a Vu’s ami 17,000 j
iiHavs. Od Lite largest of thes e farms
the wheatcrup thh year is reputed to
heeqdnl to an average ot forty
busbela fo. thp acre, the yield run
ning up on some parts of the farm
,td sixty bushels. The product of
this farm for the present year is
1,440,000 bushels. The boundary
on one side of this farm is about
seventeen miles long. At the sea-
son of plowing ten four-horse teams
were attached to ten gang-plows,
each gang having four plows—or
forty horses with as many plows
.wore started at the same time, the
terms iyliowing tit close succession.
Lunch or dinner was served at a
midway station, and supper at the
^ccmiiius ot the Held, seventeen
Utiles distant from the starting
point. The teams returned on the
following day. The wheat in this
immense -field was cut with twenty
of the .largest reapers, and, we bes
lieve, has now all been threshed
and put in sacks. It would require
over forty ships of medium size to
transport the wheat raised on this
farm to a foreign market. Even
the sacks required would muke a
large hole in the surplus money of
most farmers. We have not the
figures touching the product of the
other two farms, but presume that
the average is not much below that
of the first. There are thuusands
of tons of wheat whieh.can not be
taken out of the valley this season,
and must remain over as dead
capital or, what is nearly as unde
sirable, will only command advan
ces at lieavy rates ofintereat.—San

Cine Soil.
All clay soil must be made good,
must be worked and brought up by comin "
mechanical and other means, but
rparticularly the mechanical. Origi
nally, clay is cold and wet and sour,
and has little attraction for the
fertilizing gases, particularly am
monia, the most important of all.
It is, therefore, useless in this con
dition. But drain, break up at the
proper time, and reduce; repeat the
operation, working in manure, and
soon there will be, not clay, but
soil, and if kept in this condition,
one of the best and most profitable
of soils. It then (and not in its wet
state) has an affinity for whatever
fertilizing material comes in con'
tact with it, holding it there till the
plant abstracts it. Our most profi
table soils are clay soils, originally
purchased in their low condition at W;ld
a low price, and with comparative
ly little manure made to yield well.
Clay contains fertility and other
properties which are of little use
till brought up to the air, drained
so that the air and warm rains are
permitted to pass through, and thus
change the condition, washing, also,
so as to remove the deleterious pro
perties, and thus, aided by the
chemistry of nature, by mechanical
means (to fine it,) and fertility ad
ded and incorporated well and
evenly, there will be quite a differ
ent thing from the original harsh,
oold, worthless clay.
Unmarried women are regarded asi
of very little account, but mothers
always rule their cbiirliien and their
grandchildren, to whatever age they
may attain. Here, on the contrary
pretty young girls command all
who approach llum, mi l the rale
of children over their parents is
only less perfect than their sway
over the grand-patents. Here you
ask a father bow: many children he
has, and he answers, perhaps, three.
In China he would answer, “ one
child and two girls.” Chinese men
wear frocks and carry fans, and the
women wear pantaloons and smoke.
In these respects, however, the two
countries are not very unlike.
When a man marries, his mother
acquires the right to ‘boss’ his wife
as well as himsel, which is very
consoling to both parties. The
mother-in-law is consoled by hav
ing one more to boss over. The
husband is consoled by the feeling
that his labor is divided. The
daughter-in-law is consoled by
knowing that she'll do the same
when she becomes a mother in-law.
In China your dressmaker is a
man, if you are a woman, but the
person who constructs your bat for
you is a woman. The men wear
their hair braided, and never cut it,
esteeming it, as Paul says, “ an
ornament.” The woman do theirs
up very close, or shingle it short,
feeling, as the Apostle remark, that
it»is a shame to them to wear long
hair. A book is read from the lellt
of the page to the right, from the

How Politicians Work It.—
At a political meeting .the speaker
and audience were very much dis
turbed by a man who constantly
called for Mr. Ilenry. When a new
speaker came on, this man bawled
out, “ Mr. Menry, Henry, Henry !
1 call for Mr. Henry.”
After several .interruptions of this
kind at each speech, a young man
ascended the platform and was soon
airing his eloquence in a magnilo
quent style, striking out powerfully
in his gestures, when the old cry
was heard for Mr. Henry.
Putting his bands to his mouth
like a speaking trumpet, this man
was bawling out at the top of his
voice. “Mr. Ilenry! Ilenry ! Hen
ry I I call for Mr. Henry to make
a speech.”
The chairman now rose, and re
marked that it would oblige the
audience if the gentleman would
refrain from any iurther calling for
Mr. Henry, as that gentleman was
now speaking.
“Is that Mr. Henry?" said the
disturber of the meeting. “ Thun
der! that can’t be Mr. Henry ?
Why that’s the little cuss that told
me to holler!”
Ca re of Breeding Sows.
It is well known that sows not
ontrequently attack and devour
their own young, or if prevented
from this, will not let down their
milk, so that the young pigs neces
sarily die for want of nourishment.
When this state of things is caused
by a diseased condition of the uter
us, it,is said that the sow jean be
brought to terms by pouring a mix
ture of ten to twenty grans of spir
its ofeampor with one to three of
opium, into the ear. The sow will
immediately lie down on the side of
the ear to which the application
was made, and remain quiet for sev
eral hours in this position without
interfering with her pigs; and on
her recovery from tne stupor will
have lost her irritablity in regard
to them. The experiment has been
tried in Germany hundreds of times
according to one of the agricultural
journals, without any injurious ef
fects. It is also said that the eat
ing of pigs by the parent sow can
be reanily prevented by rubbing
them all over with brandy, and
makiug the same application about
Die uoso qf the sow herself.

The Tlctpesof the Chinese,
It is difficult for us to conceive
that mankind, like the various or
ders of creation, is constructed on
.the principle of infinite diversity,
nature’s constant effort being ,o
Avoid repeating herself, whether it
be in races or individuals. A letter
from .the Jfctev. Hr. Prime to the
New York Observer .recalls some re
markable contrasts between the
Chinese civilization .and ours. The

As Jorquin Miller is the “ Poet
of the Sierras,” Sandelphon de
Burgh is the hermit of the seme.
So it would appear from an account
in the Virginia City Chronicle.
JJpon the .ncariy inaccessible .cliffs
of those mountains he has a small
hut, picturesquely decorated with
ornaments that have lost something
of their pristine beauty, but which
have been of inestimable value—in
fact, as Mr, Micawber would say,
with human skulls. He lives
alone, a veritable hermit and has
an ugly way of shooting at sight at
any stranger that intrudes upon his
privacy. His guests are., therefore,
few and select, and none of them
stay long, unlesstthcy take u.p jtheir
abode permanently on his premises.
Once every year this strange and
eccentric being visits Virginia City
for ammunition, and then he is the
observed of all observers, the cyn
rure of neighboring eyes. The
gambler looks up from his card-,
and forgets the ace is his sleeve
until too late to play it, and the
children run for their mothers
With his red hair hanging in natur
al ringlets over his shoulders, his
clothes, looking like those offiip
Van Winkle, after his sleep of
twenty years, and a long rifle over
his shoulders, he appears for an
hour, and then vanishes to the
mountains again.

Abolition of the Death Pen
ALTY.—The Congress of Peru has
decreed tbe abolition of the death
penalty, and fifteen years’ impris
onrnent is to be the maximum of all
punishment in that republic. In
.Colombia the maximum punish
ment, according to the constitution
is ten years, and an article in the
code provides that, the convict
shall have the third part of his sen
tence taken off if he shows signs of
repentance, which, -of course, is not
very difficult for a convict to do.
But the Legislature .of-Colombia
has still further reduced tbe max
imuin penalty by decreeing that all
punishment enumerated in the
penal laws shall be diminished one
'third. So that for the most-limpid
arson or murder a.criminal can be
sentenced to no more than six years
and four months in the peniten
tiary, and if he repents, his term
must be diminished to lour years
and eighty days.
It is said that this year’s coin crop
in the Southwestern States will be suf
ficient for the next two years.
