AUSTRALIAN BIRDs.-Mr. f. W. Young, of the

ful, stated Australian birds, presented to him
by Mr.. j. A. S, Jones, who purchased them in
that country. 1t would be utterly useless for
us to attempt to describe them, for they must

them on exhibition at his place of business, and

DUrToN CREEK.-Dixon, Hurst & Co. this Win
Ter demonstrated the fact that they had very
rich ground on Dutton Creek They also learn

The only feasible way of working their claim
seems to be by blasting, after the fashion fol-
lowed in Yuba aud Nevada counties. We be-
lieve it is generally admitted as an axiom that
"what goes up must come down" Taking this
as starter these gentlemen propose to get up
small earthquake on their own hook by running
tunnels into the bowels of the hill and storing
the excavations with powder by the hundred
kegs. BY means of an electric battery connect
ing with every deposit of powder, grand blast
will be let off and may we be there to see. The

LEG BRoKEN.-On Wednesday last Deputy
Sheriff John c. How and Sheriff jackson, while
on their way to Hay Fork, stopped on the way
to refresh, lunch and rest. Being mercful men
and merciful to their beasts, they took the sad
dies and brides off their animals that they might
Craze and also rest. Upon saddling up to re-
sumo their journey, How's mule proved refrac-
tory, and while he was trying to put on the bri-
die the vicious beast suddenly launched out with
one fore foot, striking him senseless to the
ground. How was brought to town the same
evening and DR.. j. c. Montague called in, who
found, upon examination, that there was an
oblique fracture of the large bone of the left
leg just below the knee joint, involving the knee

OF Interest to Farmers.

In Great Britain and Ireland the wealth.
lest and most Independent of farmers are
those who occupy large farms of good grass
land, and who fatten and sell annually
large numbers of cattle. This class of
farmers are called graziers. They keep
very little of the land in tillage, do not
winter large numbers of cattle, but buy
two OF three year old heifers and steers in
the spring, keep them on choice pasture
during the summer and autumn, and sell
them before the animals begin to lose flesh
late in the fall. The vast herds of Texan cat
tie are sometimes managed in a similar
way, being purchased when in low condi-
ton, and driven on the rancho and succu-
lent prairie grass until they have become
nearly fat. Farmers who have good grass
land should devote at least portion of it
TO fattening stock; good two or three year
old heifers and steers, kept on rich pasture
for six months, would probably pay better
than inferior tillage. The money would
all come together, and the cost of trans
pOrtation, compared with that of cereals,
would be trifling. Every farmer should
fatten all his young stock that are not re
quired for the dairy or yoke. Selling stocl
of any kind before they are properly mad
up for the market is very bad management
and great deal of money is lost by farm
ers every year in this way.

Sod rs a Fertilizer.

During the last year / made limited eX-
pertinent in the use of grass sods as a fer
tilizer. 1t was desired to plant piece of
WORKOUT land in cabbage. Home ma
nure was exhausted, and it was doubtful
whether commercial fertilizers would pay
on land so utterly destitute of humus and
all other carbonaceous matter. burrows
were opened four feet apart with a one
horse turn pillow, which was run twice
each way, opening to depth and width
of about ten inches. The road-sides were
resorted to for wild sods, which were TIA
ken up with spade, of a width to suit
the furrow, and of such length as the
toughness of the sod would allow. These
were turned bottom upwards in the burrows
which were then filed full of loose earth
with hoe.
After the first rain, the plants which
were of good size, were dibbled into the
loose earth, the roots reaching down gen.
orally to the sOds. The plants gained q
rapid growth within few days, and the
result was such a crop of cabbage as have
never seen produced except in soil in a
high state of fertility previously, or made
so for the special crop by a very liberal
application of fertilizers. The sod was q
source of both moisture and fertility, and
maintained a thriftiness in the plants du.

SAVE THE APPLEs.-The scarcity and
high price of genuine cider vinegar makes
it always profitable article of manufac-
ture on farms which possess an orchard, as
every farm should. AT this season apples
commence to fall from the trees, and the
quantity that might be saved by rev
minutes work each day is something worth
consideration A small cider mill and
press may now be purchased for ten dol
lars and upward, and where there are
twenty trees in the orchard, the amount
saved by its use the first year would equal
its cost. After every high wind sufficient
apples might be gathered for a grinding,
the juice might be turned into a cask and
additions occasionally made until it is
filed, when, after being properly convert
ed into vinegar and racked off from the
sediment, it would find good market in
any town of considerable size. The POM
mace would be excellent for the hogs, and
a small quantity placed in wide-mouthed
bottles or shallow pans and covered with
water would make very efficient traps for
moths of all kinds.

FARM AND HOME.
InrnY AnimaS.

| believe as n general rule our domestic
animals are never unruly except rs they
are taught by their owners or those hay
ing the charge of them. Some persons
when removing stock from one field to
another will let down "A few of the top
bars; or if they don't happen to have
bars or gate Just where they wish to turn
through they will throw ofi'a few of the
top rails and force thesanimals to jump
the balance and after thus driving the
stock over, they will put up part OF the
ba or rails thus thrown down, leaving the
fence lower in that place than any other,
as temptation to the stock to jump back
at the place where they have been learned
to go over
Ny practice is the reverse of all this, if
| wish to turn hogs, sheep or calves through
common rail fence, make what Is termed
slip gap, letting down just enough of the
bottom rails to let the animals pass, thus
teaching them to go under rather than
over the fence and in letting large cattle
through bars, prefer to have bar at the
top letting them pass under, and If It rubs
their backs q little, all the better. But
there is another fault too common with
some farmers. If fences poor in conse-
quence ofscarcity of material, they should
be more carefully watched If rail gets
thrown off put ii on immediately. If
weeds, grass or anything else grows near
the fence, on the opposite side from where
your stock run, tempting them to reach
over and by this means push the Tense
down, remove the difficulty Immediately
out of the way.

there is no necessity of having unruly

FEEDING HoGs.-Begin early to feed
hogs for pork. We are apt to delay too
long for convenience of having corn gath
cred, and throw this important business
too far into the cold weather when it takes
a much larger quantity of food to make
the same quantity of flesh and fat. When
the atmosphere becomes cold, the carbon
of food, which should make fat, is burned
tout to keep the animal comfortable, and
an extra consumption is required to serve
both purposes. Hence the necessity, also,
of comfortable houses and bedding in cold
weather. Hogs that have had the run of
good pasture without other food Will not
fatten we'll in less than five weeks, and If
not in very good condition when brought
to the pen, six weeks will be required. Let
them, if practicable. be shut up and fed
regularly by the middle of the month.
