Sawdust Swindlers Come to Grief.

The sawdustswindlers are at last COM
ing to grief The other day, in New
York, two of them were sentenced to i'm
prisonment for one year and to pay fine
of $1,000 Four barrels of confidential
circulars were captured with these men,
and an immense number of envelopes,
addressed, ready for mailing, were also
seized These circulars state that coun-
terfeit money, which it is impossible to
detect, will be sent to any person for
warding certain specified amounts. For
instance, says the circular "The price of
my money is 800 for 81 900, one-half cash
and the other half as soon as received"
For large amounts a liberal discount is
allowed The circular continues:
When large amount is sent pack it in box
and mark IL IN such a manner that no one would
suspect it's being money, and send 1t by express.
Always state when you order how you wish the
money sent, and give us the name OF your nearest
assorted, on receipt OF S, so you can STE how it
passes; when you can order large lot. BY all
means come at once and see me II possible, and
you, go you win be prepared to buy large stock,
for this may be the last chance you will ever have
to make fortune at single stroke"
1t is not very flattering commentary
on American honesty to be told that tens
of thousands of people in every part of
the country annually send for this new
money. II is amazing, too, that though
the swindle has been over and over again
exposed in almost every newspaper of the
country, certain class of people live in
sublime ignorance of the trick, and are as
ready TO be gulled now as when the
shrewd game was first invented dozen
years ago. Now and then man who
cares more for his money than his
reputation, and who finds, when the valu-
able box sent G. o. ID. is opened, that it is
full of sawdust, and nothing else, replev-
les his cash from the express company be-
fore it is sent from the office; but, as
general thing, the victim who has been
thus deseredly swindled chooses to sub
NIT in silence. Hundreds of people who
have received these circulars, and pom.
dered over them, will recognize as famil-
lar the following paragraph, with which
they close;
II hope that after have placed confidence
enough In you 10 send circular Of this kind relat-
ing the nature OF my business, that you would not

OF this document TO living being; should you be-
tray me VIII ind means 70 be avenged In a way
perhaps, you would not dream Of II you do not
wish 70 enter into this corddental business with
me, all ask is, that you burn this circular and let
the secret die with the flame. On the other hand

will IN few weeks make you wealthy man.
would also advise you TO burn the circular and
preserve the secret, rs when this circular Is de-
ated."
The writer states, beside, that he Is the
most expert engraver in the United States,
having been employed ten years by the
Government, and that large sums of this
money have been lodged in six banks in
New York without detection. He advises
his friends and patrons, however, to mix
little genuine money with II when de-
posting it in large quantities, TO avoid
suspicion, and cautions them against the
use of strong drink, as when intoxicated
the secret may be revealed. II Is perfect.
ly evident, from the surprising success of
these swindles, that the circular Is well
calculated to achieve the purpose of its
authors, though 1t would seem to need no
exposure.
The victims never stop to ask why in
the world the manufacturer of this wonder
ful money, which absolutely defies detec.
ton in tile banks does not use II himself,
and why he should sell 81 900 OF such ex.
cellent currency for 800 of something
precisely like 1t? But nothing of this
kind occurs to them; they only see an OPP
portunity of obtaining sudden wealth,
and with the greed and disregard of ordi-
nary .onesty so common in life, place
themselves voluntarily in the path of
crime, and escape finally, not because of
their own scruples, but because the person
duping them Is not so big rascal as he
declares himself to be. 1t was for long
time thought to be impossible to convict
these men, but a way has finally been
found, it seems, and it is probable the
whole fraternity will soon be brought to

CosT OF ARTEsIAN WEIIs.-The Union
Pacific Railroad Company have lately
sunk six artesian wells on the elevated
plains over which that road passes, 1000
feet above the sea level. The deepest so
far is about 1900 feet, A we'll of /, 900 feet
in depth costs about $1,000. Several OF
these wells yield about 1000 gallons per
hour, sufficient for irrigating twenty acres
of land. Others bring water to within ten
or fifteen feet Of the surface, and then
pumps must be usea. The fswing wells
are certain TO be Of immense benefit for
agricultural purposes in the future,

AN old colored lady of one hundred
summers, with a handkerchief of many
colors encircling her wrinkled brow,
walked forty miles to town to get her
dead husbands bounty money, and, upon
presentation of the "dockyments" to the
disbursing officer, they were found to be
that dead hero's registration papers. "Dar
now what's | gwine to doH" was the only
ejaculation uttered by the old woman,
who turned and left the office to make
room for some luckier individual

LADIES travelling through Canada by
rail are often greatly annoyed by having
their luggage unnecessarily searched; but
one of the officials recently got his deserts.
1t happened that Yankee school teacher
on her way from Kansas to Vermont
passed through the Dominion, with
trunk packed to bursting with nothing
contraband. When the officer demanded
her key she begged him not to open it, as
suring him that it came through from
Kansas, contained simply clothes and
books, and was so full that it would be
very troublesome to repack it. But ne
sternly demanded the key, and malicious
ly pulled everything out to the very bot
tom; then-fnding her assertions true
he returned the Key and advised her to

train would soon move. 'What is that to
me-" said the quick-witted woman, II

Grand Trunk Railway responsible for its

you may do as you please with the trunk"
Report says that official was very weary
and red in the face, and rather profane ere
he finished packing that trunk.

Jersey Cattle.

A correspondent of the Rural Sun writ
ing on the.subject of Jersey cattle says T
Common consent seems to have fixed
two years as the proper age at which COW
should come into milk. A cow is in her
primelat six years old, and continues good
uptilteh many are kept much beyond
the latter age. I A good cow on the average,
gives fourteen quarts of milk per day, or
nine pounds of butter per week. Instan-
ces are common of cows giving twelve or
even fourteen pounds Of butter in one
week, but this is above the average figure.
Itnay be added that the recent Ameri-
can fancy for .''solid colors and black
points" seems to be ignored in Jersey. The
''scale of points, adopted by the Jersey
Agricultural Society gives to "color'' but
one point out of 81 for bulls and "a for COWS
and then merely says .'hide Of good COL
Or" In the list of prize-winners, less than
one-third are solid colored or nearly So
and it is mentioned merely by way of de-
scription-not as merit
may add that the American fashion of
"solid color and black points" seems to be
ignored in jersey. Since these are con-
fessedly indications neither of purity of
blood, excellence at the pail, nor vigor of
constitution, it appears unreasonable to
sacrifice to them the valuable qualities
which have brought the breed into notice.
Indeed, most of our successful breeders ap-
pear to have quite disregarded them in
breeding-and to have aimed only at im-
provement in milking qualities, form and

Progress of Agrleultare in california.

= Insignificant illustration of the growing
Importance of onr agricultural interests
may be found in our mining reports and
market reviews. In 1S49, the actual yield
1850, $35, 600 600; in 1851, $46 100000; in
1852, $50, ,O0O, 900 in 1852, $57, 600 900; since
which date it has gradually decreased to
an average annual product of about $780,
During the years named, we imported
from the Atlantic States and South Amer
lea most of the supplies necessary forthe
support Of our population. Contrast this
with our agricultural products during the
past year. The total value of the wheat,
barley oats hay wine wool fruit Gsin1a. 61tseE
during 1872, is estimated at $75, 900, of
which our exports will probably exceed
$4,000, 600. The wheat crop alone reaches
about $25, 900, 900, being an excess of So
600, 900. over our, gold yield; and the total
of our agricultural products exceeds by
about $4,000, 900 the entire yield of pre-
cious metals throughout the United States.
These astounding results have been pro
dnced by the hard labor and individual
energy Of our farming population, num-
bering in the aggregate less than 1900
1860 the total are of land in cultivation was
only 937, ,133 acres, and that in 1912 it
reached 3,653, ,1S3 acres, our progress seems
incredible. And yet how little has been
done! California, according to late re-
port of the Commissioner of the General
Land Office, contains an aggregate area of
12O, ,947, $40 acres, "of which not less than
SO, ,0OO, 900, including swamp and tule lands
capable of reclamation, are suited to some
kinds of profitable husbandry. Of these,
over 40, 600, 900 are fit for the plow, and the
remainder present excellent facilities for
stock raising, fruit growing, and all other
branches of agriculture. This agricultural
area exceeds that of Great Britain and Ire
land, or the entire peninsula of Italy,"
Yet England contains 1872 inhabitants to
the square mile, Ireland 225, and Italy 25O;
while California. estimating its population
at 500 sO00, contains only a fraction over
three; and even of this infinitesimal pop
ulatlon fve-sixths live in cities, and towns
aud Villages. When I say how little has
been done, mean how much remains to
be done-how many millions of acres to
be subdued, and cultivated, and made a
source of unbounded prosperity to millions
of human beings.-FTona the ''AgriculturaI

Narrowing I'm Corn.

A Virginian writes to the Rural Messe,a-
or the advantage he finds in narrowing
corn in preference to hoe covering or COW
e.ing with the plow. He says it effectual-
ly destroys the young grass and weeds just
putting up between the rows. 1t puts the
hnd in good condition by breaking the
tlods and pulverizing the entire surface.
The young corn, coming up on level in
stead of on the burrows, is not SO liable to
injury from heavy rains. The corn can be
plowed at an earlier stage of its growth
without being covered up, and also can be
plowed much closer. 1t is the practice of
some to harrow just before or about the
time the corn comes up, and while have
followed that to some extent myself with
good results, yet have adopted the plan
of putting in with harrow for the follow
ing reasons 1t saved the work of cover
ing the corn by other processes, and it
renders the narrowing certainty-as it
often happens that when the narrowing is
deferred until after the planting, heavy
rains or a press of other matter, causes it to
be indefinitely postponed" wg 4
A correspondent gives the following deS-
criptson of how he harrows his corn -
commence just as soon as the corn
comes up and continue as needed, to keep
soil loose and weeds out of sight. until ii is
so tall the harrow will break it Off if used
There is nothing so needful to secure a crop
of corn, with our short seasons, as fire.
quent STRINGS of the soil when it is in its
first stages of growth, and no tool will do
this so cheaply or so thoroughly in the
hill as the rightly constructed harrow. /
harrow back and forth till have my land
as I desire. If the corn is rowed both
ways of the field, the second narrowing
should cross the first, the third the second,
and so on. Ihave not had failure in four
years y,, with corn on my white, heavy cold
