What | Know About Farming.

A farm nowadays of one hundred
acres will produce more buckwheat and
pancakes run on theory than it would
sixty years ago run with manure and
hard knocks. There's nothing like
book larnin', and the time will eventu-
ally come when a man won't have to
have only one Of Josh Billings Farm
ers' Almanac TO run IA farm or a camp
meeting with. Often now it amt un
common to see three or four hired men
on a farm, with three or tour plows and
oxen, standing all still while the boss
goes into the library and reads himself
up for the days blowing. If | was run
ming 8 farm nowadays, | would rather
have thirty-six bushels Of potatoes rails
ed on theory than 20 have eighty-four
bushels raised in the mean, undernand
way of our late benighted grandparents.
| once took a farm myself. | took it on
shares and ran it on theory, and the
thing figured UP in this way: did all
the work and furnished all the theory,
and had ague nine months out of
twelve for my share of the profits, and
the other fellow paid all the taxes on
the farm with his share of the profits.
By mutual consent we both quit that
farm at the end of the year.
What | know about farming ain
worth Dragging about anyhow. If man
really is anxious to make money on q
farm, the less theory he has or hand
the better, and he must do pretty much
all the work himself, and feed his fam
lily on what he can't sell, and hunt
bees.
know Of many farmers who are so
afflicted with theory that they won't set
a gatepost until they have had the
ground analysed by some professor OF
anatomy, to see if the earth mas got the
right kind of ingredients in it-lor post
holes. That's what call running
theory into the ground.
never knew farm that was worked
pretty much by theory but what was
"for sale or LETT every few years and /
never knew farm that was worked in
the good old ignorant way OF our ancestors
but what was handed down from father
to son, and was always noted for raising
brawny-armed boys, buxom lasses, and
tirst-rate potatoes.-JoSh Billings.

The Wheat Crop OF California.

Wheat is undoubtedly the staple of
the California farmer. A million acres
this year have been devoted to its
growth. Valley after valley is covered
with it. The west side of the San
Joaquin valley for one hundred miles is
a vast field of waving grain. And when
it is known that this will bring in Liver
pool an average OF SO per GENITAL, it con.
strains us to the belief that the Pacific
coast is the farmers paradise. And SO
il would be but for the robbery OF the
prodcucer by the carrier, who has the
farmer completely at his mercy. The
farmer must sell his wheat, or he be
comes bankrupt Unless he has large
capital he cannot afford TO wait for "a
favorable turn Of the market. The re-
suit is that he is obliged TO sell almost
as soon as the harvest is over; and all
the wheat crop of the country coming
into the market at that time causes such
a glut that prices fall and freights rise.
After the harvest of the farmer comes
that Of the ship-owner, who carries away
the lions share. In former years
freights were high enough now they
are simply monstrous. They are S2l.60
as opposed to $1,000 year ago, an adj
vance Of more than thirty.three per
cent. The ship.owner obtains vast
deal more for the carrying of grain than
the cultivator for all his toll and trouble.
short calculation will prove this. The
rate of freight per Genital at $2l.60 per
ton is $l0S; the rate at which wheat is
at present sold is $3.50, out of which
has IN COMA the cost Of cultivation tho
cost Of bagging and railroad freight to
this city. Thus, while the farmers of
the State only obtain $l5,0OO,000 from
the wheat crop after all their toll and
trouble, the ship owners of England and
the East-the former chiefly, pocket
$l3,OOO,0 900 from the same source, with
out having expended cent in raising
it. Two-thirds of this is such money
lost to the people Of the coast, for when
the farmer suffers; all who depend on
him in the way of trade suffer.-.Sa,l

Outdoor WhiteWash.

The following is a good recipe for
making an outdoor whitewash Stake
one half bushel of good lime in hot
water, keeping it covered during the
process. Strain through sieve or coarse
cloth, and add peck of salt, dissolved
in hot water; three pounds of rice flour,
boiled to a thin paste; half pound of
Spanish whiting (if white is the color
wanted), and pound of clear glue, dis
solved in warm water. Mix all these
we'll together and let the mixture stand
for several days before it is used. Be-
fore it is applied il should be put in a
kettle and heated nearly to the boiling
point. The heat should be kept up to
as high point as is consistent with the
safety of the brushes, all the while it is
being put on. 1t may be applied with
a painters or whitewashers brush. If
you want red color, leave out the
Spanish whiting and substitute Venetian
red or red ochre. For brown, use
burned lumber. A delicate yellow may
be made by using French yellow ochre.
Other colors may be produced by using
other pigments. 1t is not desirable,
however, to use any of the paints made
from lead, as they are likely to sink to
the bottom Of the dish.

Facts About Wall Street.

The Rochester Democrat contains some
interesting information about Wall
street The first merchants bank in
New Yerk was established about eighty
years ago. 1t was called the Bank of
New York, and was built on the corner
of Wall and William streets, and was
destined to be the financial magnet of
the city, for into Wall street imme-
diately money began to flow. The first
bank is still in existence, and is the
center of all gold operations, the checks
of the gold room all being drawn on
this institution. 1t began business with
one book.keeper, but now employs
twenty. Almost all the Government
payments and receipts are made at the
Treasury Office, also on Wall street.
The gold received at the Custom House
for duties is daily wheeled to the Treas
ury, in common hand-cart, distance
of about eight hundred feet, and
averages about 100000. In this de-
partment there are usually SS0000,00O
of gold and greenbacks, stored in an
immense safe or room, whose outer wall
is filled in with several thousand mus
ket balls, which would roll out upon
any burglar who managed to cut
through to them. Just now, Wall
street is full of money, and it is said
that hundred million of dollars could
easily be borrowed there.

Remarkable Deception.

Sir Walter Scott paints, in one of the
Waverly novels, girl who pretends to
be deaf and dumb, and keeps her full
possession of hearing and speech Sc
cret for years, until she chooses to re-
veal it. 1t has often been said that such
deception was an impossibility, and
that the great novelist, protesting to
portray nature, had no right to palm
this off upon his readers. His reputa-
ton has been indicated by recent
marvellous case of self-control. About
two years ago, a certain George Scott
was convicted, in New York, of bur-
glary. On his trial, he pretended to be
deaf and dumb, and thereby created so
much sympathy that he was sentenced
to only two years imprisonment, while
his accomplices got ten. He was sent
to Sing Sing, and then to Auburn. At
both prisons he kept up his pretense,
and so escaped all heavy work. A few
days since he was released, and instant
ly gave his tongue full compensation

from talk

The order OF the day would be almost
uniformly this The horn (which was
a long tin one, hung in the preaching
stand) was sounded at sunrise, when il
was expected that all persons in the
tents would rise. Half an hour later it
was blown again for family worship,
which must be observed III every tent,
after which breakfast was prepared and
eaten. At : or 9, according 10 the sea-
son, the horn announced prayer meet
ings in the tents at 10 it proclaimed
preaching; after that followed prayers
at the stand and call for mourners, or,
as it was more correctly and elegantly
expressed, 4" an invitation to such as de-
sired an interest in the prayers OF those
present from a conviction that they
were sinners" Then came recess for
the midday meal, and after this there
was preaching again at 2 p. IA. There
were prayers at the stand, and mourners
called forward again, after which there
was usually an adjournment to the open
part of the ground, and grand prayer
meeting organized in " the ring" The
ring meeting was formed in this way
If there We're many mourners at the
altar, as ii was called, that Is, two or
three designated benches in front OF the
pulpit, some one in authority would
order removal on which some active
fellows would shoulder few benches
and carry them TO the square, and have
them placed in convenient manner,
and ready for the mourners TO kneel by
or sit upon. But these were removed,
but in an incredibly short time, enough
stout young men would join hands
around the benches to form compact
Enclosure. These again were inclosed
by an outer ring of those who were the
first to the place. that they might have
full view OF the proceedings; tor 1t was
understood that this circle was not to be
entered except by the mourners and
those who were to talk and pray with
them. The young people Of the coun-
try were generally good singers, and
knew the hymns and tunes mostly in
use, and the numbers who would Join
in the singing would now be surprising
Two resolute ones Of the living wall Of
this ring would be designated as at
once doorposts and doorkeepers, who
at their discretion admitted persons
within the Enclosure. The mourners
were then brought on, and entering
kneeed at the benches, while brother
of leading voice would start, Come.
we sinners poor and needy" or some
similar song, in which every available
voice would join, not brick of the
wall of this tabernacle keeping silence.
Then followed prayer, then a song,
and then prayer, and at last u steady
stream OF songs and supplication, run
ming together like the parts OF a Jugue,
harmonizing in spite of all discord.-

Making Sand.Paper.

The American Bladder gives the follow.
ing simple directions for making sand
paper, which will be both interesting
and useful for the woodworker. Sand.
paper forms one of the most important
items of expense with the carpenter
who has any fine work to do; and since,
as rule, he buys instead of manufac-
turing this material, knowledge of the
means by which he can produce sand
paper of superior quality, at almost a
nominal cost, must prove of value. The
device for making it is simple and at
hand to any one who has occasion to
use the paper. A quantity of ordinary
window glass is taken-that having a
green color is said TO be the best-and
pounded fine, after which it is poured
through one or more sleeves Of different
degrees of fineness, to secure the glass
for coarse or fine paper. TEen any
tough paper is covered evenly with glue
having about one-third more water than
is generally employed for wood work.
The glass is sifted upon the paper; al
low day or two in which to become
fixed in the glue, when the refuse glass
is shaken off, and the paper is fit for
use. This sand-paper costs little, and
is better than that ordinarily bought, in
which sand is frequently mingled with
the glass. The suggestion here made is
certainly worthy of note.
