OR CRILLS AND FEVER.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly
claims for it a superiority over all remedies
offered to the public for the safe certain spec
dy and permanent cure of Ague and Fever, or
Chils and Fever whether of short or long stand
ing. He refers &c the entire Western and South
country TO bear him testimony to the truth of
the assertion that no case whatever will II fail
TO cure if the directions are strictly followed and
carried out. In a great many cases single dose
has been sufficient for cure and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with perfect
restoration of the general health. tie, however,
prudent, and in every case more certain of cure If
its use is continued in smaller doses for a week
two after the disease has been checked more es-
pecially in difficult and long standing cases. Usn-
ally this medicine will not require any aid to keep
the bowels in good order. Should the patient
however require cathartic medicine, after having
taken three or four doses of the tonic single
dose of Bull's Vegetable Family Pills will be suh-
Cient.

A California Ranch.

The following description Of q Cali
fOrnia ranch of vast extent and great
prOduetiveness is Supplied by the Sac
ramentU- Union, of June %: DIR.
Glenn, of COlusa County, owns q
ranch which contains nearly 5000
acres. 1t embraces 3 frontage Of eigh-
teen miles on the Sacramento River,
and extends back about five miles. 1t
is inelOsed and divided by Ons hum
dred and forty miles of fencing. One
tenant, q. w. HOog, rents and eulti-
Yates about 1890 acres of land, and
the GuptOn Brothers cultivate an
equal pOrIi0n. Some $1,000 acres are
rented out to q number of farmers
who work on "A smaller scale. At the
present time farming operations are
going ON on this ranch at a lively rate,
as the work of harvesting is progress
ing rapidly. HOOg is engaged in cut
ting 1000 acres of wheat and barley.
The crop will this year yield about
twenty bushels per acre of wheat. In
favorable seasons the yield has been
about thirty-five bushels. The yield
Of barley. is considerably larger. The
total crop will amount to nearly $780,
900 bushels. He is threshing his grain
with one of Cases forty-eight-ineh

is run by a twenty-hOrse-pOwer steam
engine. To supply this machine re-
quires six large sized headers and eigE-
teen header wagons, all OF which re-
quire the labor OfOne hundred and ten
horses and fifty men. The machine
has threshed five sacks of barley per
minute, at which rate it has run for
an hour and half in succession. j.
has also threshed thirty-two sacks OF
wheat in seven minutes. It will re-
lquire about six weeks to thresh the

MusIIns, and HON. they are Made.

His frequently said that English
and French muslins now produced by
machinery rival in fineness of texture
and beauty of finish those woven in
the East. But it is not true. A.native
woman with her fingers and spindle
alone and q native man with his toes
and bamboo loom alone will spin q
thread and finish a piece of muslin
which cannot, by the application Of
the most delicate machinery, be pro-
duced outside of India. There is one
quality of Decca muslin, for example,
which is termed "woven air." 1t is
made only for kings daughters. So
short is thestaple of the raw material,
and SO brittle its fibers, that it must
he spun by woman under twenty
five, and before the dew has left the
grass in the morning. As a substi-
tute for natural moisture, the evapor-
alton of water from q shallow pan is
sometimes used, but the quality Of the
work in that case is inferior. And
yet, though the most delicate and fin
est of fabrics, q piece four yards in
length by one yard in width, weigh
ing less than one ounce avoirdupois
often, it is exceedingly durable, and
will wash. Since the disappearance
of many of the native rulers of India,
this "evening dew" as it is also call
ed, is not largely made; but as there
are those who will pay ten and twelve
dollars a yard for it, the art is not
likely TO be lost. The professional

their bodies to the cadences of their
voice, will tell you in rhythmical
