Treatment Of He Iers.

We neglect our heifers. As well
might we neglect our cows, as the treat,
ment of the heifer tells on the COW,
Shelter is one of the first things of i'm
portance 20 calf. 1t is not accustomed
to storms, and its limbs, which are tender,
will suffer if it is not sheltered.
The best feed aside from tender grass,
is bran, oat meal and milk. The feed
should be regular once or twice q day,
and in small quantities, for it will not do
TO iatten or pamper a calf; this must be
avoided.
The first year issthe critical time; that
passed successfully, there is little diff

Lime.

A writer in the Journal Of the Royal
Agricultural Society, describing the per-
manence of the action of lime, says that
he knows piece of ground containing
166 acres, which formerly knew nothing
but heath. A good dressing of lime was
applied on the surface OF the sward which
has nearly doubled lis value. This was
done several years ago, and totally eradi-
Gated the heath The lime to this day
appears in full condition, as its effects
usually testify, from the richness and
sweetness of the her1age, the texture of
which has been entirely changed.

Ounce Growing.

An Ohio ounce grower has been very
successful for two years past with his
fruit. His treatment of the tree is very
simple. He spades tie ground of his or
chard, every spring, and scatters peck
ofcoal ashes around each tree. He finds
salt the best manure for the ounce, and
applies about one quart to the ground
under each tree after The soil has been
spaded, and another quart when the
ounces are about half grown. Last year
he sold three hundred bushels of ounces
from his orchards cf thrce-ioufths of an
acre.

improvements of WOrn-Out Lands with
Grass and Clover.
A correspondent Of the New York
Time writes to thai paper as follows:

A correspondent of the New York
Time writes to thai paper as follows:
will tell my experience on poor farm
in Rhode Island Of $50 acres, and too
poor to keep yoke of oxen, one cow and
one horse in good condition. This farm
was worth at that time about $4,000 OR
$4,000. But new man came along who
thought he could raise grass where none
grew before. He tried, with perfect sue
cess every time so that in a few years he
kept about fifty head OF cattle, mostly
cows on the place, and sold annually as
many tons of hay.
The modUs o ,erondt was thus:
1. Plow the land.
g Harrow.
3. Spread 200 bushels ashes per acre.
4. Harrow.
5. Sow mllet and clover.
6. Harrow.
7. Roll.
s. Cut half 3on OF millet to the acre
in six weeks from sowing time, enough
to pay expenses first year.
He then had good stand Of clover,
which was cut twice the two years. The
next year he plowed under the clover,
narrowed, applied fifty bushels ashes to
the acre, narrowed it in, again sowed
millet and clover, narrowed and gave it
good rolling. In six weeks he had a
good growth Of millet, say two tons per
acre, and another good stand of clover.
The next year he cut two crops of
clover again. The next year he turned
under the clover, applied his barn-yard
compost Of muck and COW manure which
he had been four years preparing, and
raised eighty bushels shelled corn per
acre, on land that, before he COM
menced was called barren, and land that
the neighbors said, when he was apply
ing the ashes, was not worth, ashes and
all, after it was mixed what the ashes
cost.
Now there are great many inquiries
about how to raise clover. This man
never failed he never thought of it, and
never dreamed of it, and never knew any
failure. He had system in his head
(for he did not get it from books) which
he carried out like - clock work" and his
farm was beautiful to look at. He said
the land was not fit for manure, so he
took four years to get it ready.
He thought ashes would produce millet
aud clover, and the millet would protect
the young clover from the scorching sun
until it would need no protection.
The narrowing and rolling were indis-
persable.
He commenced in May, and sowed
millet and clover every day as fast as the
land was ready, for two or three months,
and knew no such word as fail.

b Rich AND EXTENSIVE MBEs.-There was con-
siderable excitement in this town and Douglas
City during the week owing to reports of very
hrge prospects having been obtained on Dut-
kon's creek. A number from Weaverville vis-
Ted the newly discovered mines and brought
back glowing accounts of the extent and marvel
I0us richness of the new diggngs. At what
lime they were first struck we have not learned
but the first location was made on the 7th in
liant by Dixon, Connay Mooney. The thing
vas kept quiet for sometime, but finally got out
md the rush o: the week was the result. AS we
propose to visit the mines and see for ourselves
next week, we will not attempt more than a
brief description at this time. They consist of a
Heavy gravel wash, about seven miles long and
one mile wide, situate on the west side of Dut-
ton's creek, small stream heading 10 Oregon
Gnlch mountains and emptying into Trinity
liver below Douglas City. The depth of the
xrOund is variousiy estima ted at from one hun
dred and fifty to two hun dred feet. AS yet bnt
lille has been done aud nothing is positively
known, further than that from prospecting at var
ious places there is every indication that an ex-
tensive and extraordinary rich deposit has been
discovered.
