INTELLIGENT CHICEKNs.-A gentleman in Swan
Hill, Massachusetts, has recently imported from
Europe selection of poultry noted not only for
their servceable and game qualities, but also
for their remarkable intelligence. At the sound
of bell they skip up ladder, and while await
ing their meal on the second floor, preserve the
utmost decorum, standing in file, awaiting fur
ther orders. The meal being placed before them
one at time, is considered invoate until all
are seated, and even then they remain abstinent
until the second sound of the bell gives the sig
nal. During the meal there is no interference
with each others portion the utmost proprety
is observed, and, as each finishes his repast, he
stands quietly awaiting the bell which announces
that the meal is over, when in military style, the
fowls proceed in single file down the ladder, to
deport themselves as they please

ALFALFA.

Any land upon which good grass can be sue
cessfully produced is too valuable to be sown in
grain. Alfalfa, it has been pretty well determ-
ined, is the best grass for this country. ANY of
our Sacramento Valley land that can be flooded
once during the year will successfully produce
this grass. On the best land-such as now pro-
duceS 40 bushels of wheat under favorable cir
cumstances-can be made to produce 20 tons of
grass annually and almost any land in the val
ley, with an annual flooding, will produce 10
tons of grass. We do not mean to say that
all this amount of grass can be cut but the land
can be pastured for six months and then three
or four crops of hay cut, averaging from two to
four tons to the acre. Such being the facts
and they are attested to by all those who have
given it a fair trial-how does it happen that no
more of it is sown? The average price of the
hay is about s. per ton of taking care of it So,
the grazing which costs nothing is worth So per
ton-so that the whole product would average
So per ton net. At the lowest estimate of 10
tons per acre we have profit of $50 per acre.
This pays the interest on $500 at ten per cent
per annum Then what is an acre of alfalfa
worth Oh tue smull patches OF III IN l OlO cOun-
ty, watered this year, there have been netted
Sl0O per acre Then one who has a field of it
well set is comparatively free from the dangers
of drouth. 1t is a hardy plant and will live sew
eral years with but little water, although it
grows best when flooded annually. Gophers
prey upon it, and the irrigation of it is necessary
sometimes to drown them out. Any 100 acres
sown to this grass will feed more sheep or stock
of any kind than 1000 acres of wild land of the
same kind One acre of alfalfa will feed at least
twenty-five Spanish merno sheep, with their
increase for a year The fleeces of such sheep
will average ten pounds the WOOL at 25 cents,
is worth $G2 so; the increase would be worth
at least $75. There is $l00 for the acre, allow
ing $37 so for taking care of the sheep Who
can afford to raise wheat on an acre of ground
on which he can do half so well? Our estimate
is not extravagant but divide it by four and
who afford to fool away his time on wheat
