Ryo as Z Fertilizer.

Rye will grow aud often yield largely
on soil containing not more than one
and quarter per cent Of organic matter.
1t affords fine winter pasture for stock.
It should be sown in the fall, as soon as
the suns heat has 80 moderated as not to
kill the young plants.
After rye has advanced in age and
growth sufficiently to stool out, it ls not
damaged by the tramping Of . reasonable
amount Of stock. Grazing to . reasona.
bic extent in winter and early spring is
said rather to increase than to diminish
tho yield.
If il is not desired by the farmer to
reap and thresh out bis whole crop Of
rye, hogs and cattle are greatly benefited
If turned in upon il.
The rye straw, If allowed to remain
upon the ground, shades it, thus aiding
10 its fertilization by preventing evspora-
tion and the escape Of valuable gases
from the soil.
Besides this, the straw makes . posi-
lively large addition to the organic matte.
in the soil. It also improves its physi-
cal properties. Turned under, it renders
the ground pulverizable and permeable to
the roots Of plants and to the rain.
In grazing land, it Is all important tc
remember that tramping it by the stocl
in wet weather is injurious. A luxurian,
rye patch bears winter grazing with muct
less injury to the soil than any other croE
we are acquainted with.
Should the farmer prefer to save hi
whole crop Of rye, the grain always bear
fair price in market.
It is important to be careful in the 90
lection Of seed for sowing. Much Of th,
rye fonnd IN the ma, kets has been GU
too early, or, from other causes, 10 defec
tive in terminating power.
After getting . start in rye culture, tn
farmer should save bis own seed frou
year to year.-Southern Paper.

ATNA INSURANCE COMPANY OF
HARTFORD, CoNN-The services of this
sterling old company have been so long
and 80 we'll tested, and it's wealth and
willingness are 90 widely known, that
words Of mere endorsement and com.
mendatiou are simply superauous. 1t
has ever been conservative and careful,
and at the same time vigorous, energetic
and successful beyond oil precedent; it's
history is as prominently solitary even
among the fruitful records of American
FIRE underwriting as is the tall summit of
its namesake above the vineyards and
orchards Of sea girt Sicily, and its pol
icies are regarded by the lovers of choice
securities somewhat as financial epicure
regards . government obligation. To
deny that the Atna is entitled to thie
proud rank is to deny just reward to
the successful victor in many hard fought
fields. The company that can point to
loss list that now approximitates twenty.
seven millions Of dollars, and at the same
time point to q steadily increasing income
and an unfaltering accre,ion Of wealth
until it's present assets reach five aud
half millions, may bc pardoned for look
ing back over the fiery path with com.
placenoy, as il sssds. therein . record
that has never been traced on this Or the
Eastern Continent by any other similar
instruction.
For more than . half . century the
Etns has fought the Ere 6end; 10 it's
earlier days with varying success, but, on
the average, with satisfactory results to
those who have risked their capital iu the
enterprise; and, during the last half Of
its career, with conspicuous ability and
thrift.
With . national system Of agencies
managed with consummate caro-, the
Etna carries to every town of note in
the entire country the benefits Of its
superb organization, and brings first.
class insurance within the easy reach ei
every property holder that may desire to
avail himself thereof. Both indemnity
from loss by fire and security against losi

Save the Germ Fodder,

As the hay crop has been light gener.
ally, the present season, It will be we'll
for farmers to give close attention to the
saving of corn fodder in good condition.
This is always important, but appears to
be particularly 90 now. There 10 no bet.
ter feed for stock than this, especially for
miloh COWS, when it 10 properly pre-
served; bat great lessening Of value 10
made BY allowing IL to fully ripen on
the hill, or TO be exposed to . severe
frost.
As soon % the kernels have dentsd
we'll, the crop may be put into the shock
With perfect safety, the stalks containing
sufficient nutriment to thoroughly mature
the grain. BY watching this closely,
and setting to work at the right time, and
crowdiug the job to completion, the fod.
der mag be saved in high state Of nu
tritive value, and the corn 60 into the crib
in prime condition for keeping or feed
ing.
Another thing Of importance is, to
put up the shocks in substantial way.
The cutting Of ten rows ct timo, and
putting one hundred hills to the shock,
We have found to be the most economical,
although it requires a little more labor
in carrying. In the 6'st place, less sur
face is left exposed to storms, sunshine,
and frost; and in the second place, the
shocks will stand up better, and this is O
matter Of no small Importance, for where
the work is done, very great amount Of
fodder is damaged by the shocks being
twisted down, or thrown over under tae
influence of the wind.
Early husking is another thing that
should not be neglected. As soon as the
corn 10 sufficiently cured, the work should
DO begun; and this will enable the far.
mer, who has any moderate amount Of
this crop to harvest, to get the grain all
nicely cribbed, and the fodder hound in
bundles, and stacked or slowed away 10
the barn, before the cold storms Of winte,
come on. Drawing corn into the barn
in winter, and Attempting to husk il
there, increases labor very materially
and necessitates loss Of feed, q certain
per cent. of water soaked and damaged
grain, besides cold fingers and i'll temper
There are many farmers who do moi
value corn fodder to . sufficient extent tc
be particular about preserving it wher
hay is plenty, but We fully believe
it will pay at any time, for, as before
stated, all kinds Of stock relish it, ant
will thrive upon it, and for the produc
ton Of milk no dry feed is better, or, il
our experience, equal. Our advice is
save the corn fodder TO feed out, and sci
surplus hay.
When cutting up corn, the best timt
is afforded for selecting and saving seed
A plat in the very best part Of the field
of sufficient size to furnish all desired
should be left standing till fully ripe
and then picked and cared for in tn
common way Of hanging up by the husk
in dry place. The advantages Of thi
is in having all Of the ohits through.
matured, and avoiding any possibility o
injury from heating or moulding, Will

How TO TAKE CARE OF CANARIEs. -
In the first place, take special care to keep
the canary scrupulously clean. For this
purpose, the cage should be strowed every
morning with clean sand, or rather 6ne
gravel, for small pebbles are absolutely
essential to life and health iu cage birds
fresh water must be given every day, both
for drinking and bathing, the latter being
in q shallow vessel and during the
moulting searon, q small bit of iron should
be put into the water for drinking. The
food Of . canary should consist princi.
pally Of summer rape seed-that 10, oi
those small brown rape seeds which are
obtained from plants sown iu the spring,
and which ripen during the summer
large and black rape seeds, on the con-
trary, are produced BY such plants ss are
sown in autumn, and reaped 10 spring. A
little chickweed 10 spring, lettuce leaves
in summer. and endive in autumn, with
slices Of sweet apple in winter. but bread
and sugar ought to be generally avoided
Occasionally, also, few poppy or canary
seeds, and . small quantity of bruised
hemp seed may be added, but the lss
very sparingly. Cleanliness, simple food
aud fresh but not cold air, are essential te
the we'll. being Of . canary. During ths
winter, the cage should never be hung il
. room without fire, but even then, wher
the air 10 mild, and the sun shines bright
the little prisoner will be refreshed By
having the window open. The Gag
should never be less than eight inehe
in diameter, and foot high, with perehs
at different heights.

TIE MURDER AND RoBBERY Al
STEWARDS FLAT.-The subjoined nc.
count of the murder and robbery nj
Stewards Flat, Placer county, we copy
from the Auburn Herald Of the 9th
Instant 4:
A tiendish, heathenish murder and
robbery was committed at Stewards
Flat, below Newcastle, on Monday
afternoon last, the character OF which
is we'll calculated to startle the COM
munity. Booker Chambers, n of the
oldest miners on the Flat, and a quiet
and estimable gentleman, wa the vic
tim, and the circumstances were about
as follows: 1t seems that a Chinaman
had been at Chambers cabin once or
twice, trying to buy a mining claim,
and that he had gone there again about
l o'clock OIL Monday, and that Cham
bers had ceased mixing bread, as the
dough was still OH his fingers when
found, and taken his pick and pan and
gone to show him how the claim would
prospect. Chambers position, when

right knee, bending over, and had
struck one or two licks under the bank
of the claim, when he was struck n
heavy blow on the back of the neck
with q sharp Ratchet, cutting through
the coat collar and severing the spinal
bone /; 4 second cut on the side Of the
neck, severing the jugular vein; he
then fell or vas pulled over backward,
and again struck IN the right forehead,
burying the bit of the Ratchet In the
brain /; a fourth just above the right
ear and a fifth below the right eye and
ear. Chambers was known to have
solne 5000 in gold coin about his per-
son, and about the same or a greater
amount Of gold dust, and a gold hunt
Ing case watch. The watch guard was
cut and the watch taken, leaving the
upper portion of the guard around his
neck, and his pockets turned inside out
and emptied. The body of Chambers
was found OIL Tuesday evening by
James Hickey, a water-ditch agent,
lying just as he had been murdered,
with the pick just rs lie had dropped It
at the first fatal blow.
