Drr Earth for bedding stables.

OF late much has been said and
written about "Earth Closets,n and
their use seems to be appreciated as
disinfectants and as source condu-
Give to good health. Dry earth has
long been used 10 some extent for
bedding stables, and found to answer
all the good purposes expected from
it. 1t would be useless to discuss
with farmer the value Of stable ma
nure. He knows very well what it is
worth-that it is superior to all other
manures; the only difficulty with him
is to get enough oft. He knows, al
so, that it is not always valuable in
proportion to its bulk ). one cart load
of well concentrated manure being
equal to two or moro loads in coarse
rough state. aai 50 .iau
Straw is almost as dear in the mar
ket as the best of hay, therefore, it has
become too expensive an article to bed
stables with, and the farmer who uses
il freely for that purpose has not an
eye to strict economy. The substitute
that we can recommend is dry earth.
Every farmer has plenty of it. Let
any kind Of soil or snbsoI be collect
cd and put under cover, convenient
to the stables, to be used as required.
This can be done at any season of the
year when the ground is not frozen,
and an hour or two can be spared
from other work; there are many
such spare hours in the course of the
year that could not be better employed
or even whole days. pa y
The earth should be spread over the
whole surface of the Stable floor,
three or four inches deep to begin
with, and when it has be come satura-
ted with urine add fresh earth until it
becomes, six, eight. or more inches
deep; when all Of it is thus saturated
it may be removed to the manure
heap along with the cxcrementitious
matter of the animals. Whenever,
on entering the stable, you find any
offensive smell arising from the floor
add more fresh earth until the odor is
| all absorbed. In this way all the val
liable manurial salts are saved, locked
up, so they cannot be wasted, until
carried to the field and incorporated
with the soil to feed succeeding crops.
The health of the stock is promoted
by having the atmospheric air of the
stable kept in pure state for breath
ing. A little plaster of paris sprink-
led with the dry earth on the stable
floor will be of some advantage as an
absorbent of the manurial salts.

mails to lie down on il the face of the

natural bed refreshed and full of Wig

a freshness that is pleasant to behold.
Now, this natural bed of earth, to
to lie down OH, is furnished exactly
suited to their nature, their wants and
their condition, by good coating of
soil, kept and frequently renewed on

ABOUT CALIFORNIA.
Industrial Depression, .DeAtitntiOn
and Destruction of Crops.

John Hill, of San Francisco, in the New
80 York Workils PsE
You may think strange Of stran-
ger writing to you from San Francis
co the reason L do SO is, saw in the
Bulletin here statement of the pro-
gress and wealth of California, and
the statement OF your paper, which
was quite different. The fact is, San
Francisco and California are progress
ing backward. 1t you were here and
could see the thousands of idle men in
the city, and nothing doing, not a
house building, nor improvements of
any kind being made, you would
think it the dullest city i'm the world
at this moment The Bulletin is
ashamed, and tells the workinglnen to
60 to the country, and look for work.
[ have seen men who have travelled
from Upper, California to Southern
California with their blankets on their
backs, looking vainly for work. The
country is nearly all dried up; South
ern California is dried up altogether.
No rain has fallen there for the last
fourteen months Cattle and sheep
have died in numbers. No wheat at
all in Lower California, and very lit
tie in Upper California. Most of the
wheat crop was cut when green for
hay. There won't be one hundred
weight this year for the ton last year.
There are thousands of farmers who
sowed and will not have grain of
wheat or barley. The mines are
played out with gambling specula-
tors, and an industrious man won't
have anything to do in them. There
is more restitution in this city and
State at this present time, and has
been for the last year, than i'm any part
of the world. There are thousands of
fine workingmcn iI the city and State
who can't get days work. They
have pawned and sold their clothes
brought from other States, and have
been living on Is cents day and
sleeping out in lumber piles and in
bushes outside of the city. l have
seen them get up in the morning out
of bushes on the outside of the city,
and they have told me they had not
been in a bed for six weeks. Many
expected to earn enough in the har-
vest to take them out of the State.
On account of the failure i'm the crop
they can't do it. There is not one
man needed for hundred seeking for
work. have lived in the East for
thirty years, and never saw anything
to compare with the dcstitution Of
this country. . Tho workingmen de-
signed getting up a petition, signed
by 10000 men, to Washington, to see
if the government would send and
help them to get from here. AS for
the land of the country, it is all taken
up and held by spectators, SO that a
man with small means is not able to
settle OH il. l am farmer, and have
farmed in the East for 30 years, and
want to buy'a farm here, but the land
which is worth settling on is held for
twice as much as it is worth. This is
no place for farmer of limited means,
a workingman or a mechanic, and, for
the sake of humanity, wish this let
ter understood, SO that men won't. be
deceived in coming here.

1t is the design of this Institution to afford
the very highest advantages for the educa-
ton of young ladies, both solid and Orna-
mental. The regular course of study laid
down in our schedule is full and comprehen-
sive but not more extended than the pre-
sent times demand of all who would enjoy
the benefits and distinctions of a finished ed
ucation. 1t will be our aim to train the mind
TO habits of patient and independent thought
and to excite in the pupil that spirit of self
future usefulness and independence. Super
ficialness in study will be utterly discarded !;
and ever reminding the pupil that there IS
" nOroyal road to learning,-the watchword
of the Institute will be "hard work, by
which we feel assured the highest results of
education can only be attained. More than
ordinary attention is paid to the Fine Arts.
Mons. A. Esteve, who has won for himself
an enviable distinction in the Musical World,
is the Director of that important department,
and Madame Esteve has charge OF the Vocal
classes. The Modern Languages are taught
by NATIVE teachers of acknowledged ability
and experience.
The Institution is amply supplied with the
most improved Chemical, Philosophical and
