/('arm Miscellany. 00 Ji t —°—— 0 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 Francisco Bulletin. 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.

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 Hermit of the Sierras. 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 ituimnui , ’8'Cvmpass is made to point SuutjV instead of North, by putting the i index on tbe opposite end of fbd nbcdte; a rider mounts a horse from the off side; instead.of black ing shoes, they whiten them with chalk; the old men fly the kites, while the boys look on. ' An American, as an act of hospi tality, treat you to a glass of wine. A Chinaman introduces you to his dead grandmother, in her coffin.

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. curing 12 For best bale of fodder, with mode of curing 13 For best acre of sweet potatoes 14 For best acre of Irish potatoes 5 00 15 For best acre of ground peas 3 00 16 For best acre of field peas 3 00 Exhibitors to state in writing, the mode of culti- [ vation, the amount and kind of manure used, the period of planting, the number of times worked, with certificates of witnesses who measured the ground and crops.

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. mg. 5 00 Third Section. .Jacks and Jennetts. 1 For best and largest Jack, Ga. raised 10 00 2 For best and largest Jennett, Ga. raised 10 00 3 For best and largest Jack, imported... 10 00 4 For best and largest.
