BENEFIT OF SUMNER FAIIowING.-The
Antioch (Cal. Ledger tells us that notwith-
standing the small wheat crop that was sown
on soils recently plowed and shallow at that,
the yield is excellent on following land. 1t
instanced that at the Point of Timber there
is field of 30 acres of wheat of excellent
appearance, and there is no other good field
within Is miles of it. 1t was sown on iallow
land. A correspondent writes to us that
field of 60 acres near Adclante will yield
heavy crop of wheat, while other fields in
the vicinity will produce only short crops,
1t was plowed very deep and then narrowed
and cross narrowed. The wheat sown on
the fallowed land in Fresno county, near
Kings river, is very promising, and one
farmer there says he has raised good crops
every year since 1862, by following.

for the farmer.

To MAKE CREAM CHEESE For two
cream cheeses take six quarts OF new milk
and one Of sweet cream, to which add two
or three spoonfuls OF rennet let it stand
until sufficiently firm. Spread linen cloth
in large basin of cold water, lay the curd
gently on it tie the cloth and hang it up TO
drain for four or FIVE hours in cool place;
then change the cloth and put the curd INTO
a vessel the circumference ofa common plate;
press it moderately eight hours, when 1t
must be taken out, turned, and split horl-
zontally with a thread lay the cloth between
the two cakes, and again put them TO press
tor twelve hours if then pressed enough,
which can be ascertained by their irmness,
keep them in fresh grass a few days, turning
them morning and evening. They are excel
lent. The grass process is not absolutely
necessary.

To DESTROY THE STRIPED OR CUCUM-
BER BUG.-A correspondent writes to the
Maryland Farmer:
Il send you an item. if you think it worth
publishing, which effectlly protected my
melon, squash, cucumber and other vines
from that destructive pest, the striped Gu
cumber bug the past season, with only
one application, viz: A strong solution of
henhouse manure-say one peck of the
manure to one and half gallons water-let
it stand twenty-four hours, and sprinkle the
plants freely with it after sunset.
The above was suggested to me by a negro
woman living on my place, who has some
practical experience in gardening, and says
she has used it for years, and has never
known the first application to fail to drive
them off and they never return.

CELERY. Many persons become so much
affected with nervousness, that the least an
they stretch out their hands they shake like
aspen leaves on windy day. By daily
moderate use of the blanched stalks of celery
as salad, they may become as strong and
steady in limbs as other people Every one
engaged in labor weakening to the nerves,
or afflicted with palpitation of the heart,
should use celery daily in season and onions
instead when not in season.

Seldom do We meet with greater truth
more beautifully expressed than this from
the New York Nation Refined homes
are the end of civilization. All the work of
the world-the railroading. navigating, dig
ging, delving, manufacturing, inventing,
teaching, writing, fighting, are done, first of
all, to secure each family in the quiet pos
session of its own hearth, and secondly, to
surround s-may hearths as possible with
grace and beauty. The work of all races
for five thousand years is represented in the
difference between wigwam and a ladys
parlor. 1t has no better result to show

CANADA THIsTLE.-Dr Warder, of Gin
cinnatl, in public lecture, said that there
was way of surely and quickly destroying
this plant, and without great labor Gentle
men who are hesitating about attacking
these pests, because the more they are root
ed out the better they will grow, should try
this mode. 1t is to pile straw thickly on
the surface where they are to be found, and
let 1t remain there. They will die for want
of light and air.

LATE ISvESrIoSs-W S. Bronson. of Hartford (Conn.). has recently invented q cooking stove, which Is selffeeding, perpetual burner, in which fire may be kept from fall to spring The general arrangement of the stove is similar to that of the base-burners, long in successful use for heating purposes only. and its consumption of fuel is said to be moderate and economical The Empire Sash Lock " is new contrivsnce for holding window sashes square up, at any de- sired night, each sash working independently of the other The greater the force applied from outside to open the window the harder the lock resists, and the invention is generally liked by carpenters and house builders. Horse-hair soles for the warmth and protection of the feet, are coming into general use this winter, and they are said to be "the best thing out" They are worn inside the boot Miss Maggie Clyde, a Pennsylvania lass, has invented an umbrella ar engagement, which consists in making the staff in sections joined together, and in a gutter around the rim for conducting the water to one point. with single opening for its discharge. Iron !.:As are being generally used in buildings. on account Of the greater security against fire. Some genius has invented -base burner' to- bacco pipe, and a novel institution 1t Is. The tobacco Is fired at the bottom, as coals are in . base-burnef stove. and the pipe, like a stove may be replenished at will at the top. It is said to be much cleaner and decidedly more convent cut than the old fashioned article.

REGISTERED LETTER SYsTEn.-We are not aware to whose comprehensive mind the registered let ter system first suggested itself. nor do we recol- lect who first suggested its adoption by the Post ofiice Department; but we do know that more ridiculous swindle was never given the form of law. In the first place, the government charges Ave cents extra for sending registered letter, and what does the sender get in return, Nothing whatever. The Government takes no increased responsibility for the safe delivery of the money. On the contrary, the registration constitutes an excellent advertisement to dishonest employees in the post0fices that there is something in that letter that can be stolen. It enables the Depart ment to search for the lost letter but does it add anything to its ability to detect the mail robber, Not one iota. If the Department is disposed to go into the insurance business 1t should take the risk that 1t charges for, and be responsible for the safe delivery Of the money into the hands of the party to whom 1t Is directed. This would be something more like equity. As 1t is. par ties are required to pay more, while they secure no additional advantages over the regular pro cess of Daroi Nee Press.
The weekly Arizona miner., 1870-02-12

RAILWAYS IN THE UNITED SrArEs.-The railway system of the United States has increased the vAlae of farm lands. and of agricultural pro- ducts as well as all the iron and wooIen facto- ries in the nation. It gives employment to near ly 250000 men, and there are probably not iess than 100000 men, women and children depen- dent upon 1t for the comforts and necessaries of life. They pay their work people about s5,00o,- 900 per annum in wages, and an additional $50, 900 900 Is paid by them for locomotiy es, rails, and sundry other articles of iron in com mon use on their roads.
