Wool Growing in Calif0r-
mia

The Importance which the wool.
growing interest in California has
attained may be in u great meas
ure ascriDed to the example afford.
ed ia The energy and pluck Of one
man. WHO, in the face of almost
insnrmountable difficulties, prac-
tica.ly demonstrated the feasibili-
~ of making the business Of sheep
raising exceedingly remunerative
in that State. This man, Col.
William ". Hollister, emigrated
from Licking county, Ohio, some
= twenty years ago, driving before
him a flock of eight hundred sheep.
1t was an extremely hazardous
undertaking TO cross the continent
in those days with such flock,
and owing to the difficulties and
hardships he encountered on the
way, when he arrived at last in
Southern California the mum Der Of,
his sheep had been reduced by
more than one-half. Beginning
the business of sheep breeding in
debt, be carried t on so success
fully that in tune he became very
wealthy, his fortune at present be-
ing estimated at not less than 3d.
O00,000. He is the owner of over
one hundred thousand acres Of
soil, with focks in proportion 10
his lands. He says that each one
of the three hundred sheep he had
remaining when be reached Cali
tornia earned him one thousand
dollars before it died. Col. IIol-
lister thinks the different grades
of merino sheep the best adapted
10 the business Of sheep raising
on large scale, because the me-
rino is more gregarious and herds
better in large lands, while its
fleece furnishes the great staple
tor the clothing woods. The aver
age annual increase of sheep un-
der fair conditions in California
Col. Hollister estimates to be, with
merinos, on a small scale, one hun
dred per cent; but on large scale
only eighty per cent. The aver
age annual yield of wool in his
fiocks he's been about SIX pounds
for each animal. Where the bust
ness is conducted on an extensive
scale the owner is obliged to leave
its supervision with subOrdlnates
to a great extent, which accounts
for the falling off in the increase
under such circumstances. The
great enemies of California wool.
growers are wolves and the scab.

How TO Prevent Clover
from Growing Coarse.

It is sometimes objected TO clo-
yer that it Is TOO coarse as a feed
this being the case where 1t is
grown on strong ground, making
a large stalk. This can be RENE
died by sowing, and thus getting
fine stemmed crop, also shorter in
length, the stalks varying Is to IS
inches, according to the quality
Of the land, the season, and wheth-
Ter plaster has been used. But
the point is to sow thick-lrom
ten to twelve quarts per acre, even.
ly scattered on even. mellow soil,
and brushed in if sown with spring
/ grain. This forms a close growth,
and must be cut before it lodges
much and this is generally about
/ the time Of Towering. Else, If
lodged badly, and permitted TO re-
main so for some time, it will
partially rot and lose much Of It's
quality as feed. But harvested
in time and well cured, there will
be no deterioration Of the high
value which this plant has obtain
ed among our hest dairymen.-
Three tons per acre may thus be
realized; and if the season is good
one, the amount may be doubled
by two cuttings; and clover should
always be cut twice, each time at
about the blossoming period. We
prefer the medium size or June
clover, as it is earlier and finer
stemmed than the large kind, and
less apt to lodge, and always per-
mits of two cuttings. On poor
land clover may be grown success
fully, improving the land. But
it may be raised on the richest OF
land with the most crafty ing re-
suits; only get 1t close SO IS to
have it fine steInmed, and cut 1t
in time.

A CURE.-A therapeutist of
London thinks he has discovered
an inEallible cure for rheuma-
tism, namely, the administra-
ton of hot sand baths. He
claims that the advantage Of
this mode of treatment consists,
especially, in the fact that it
does not suppress perspiratiOn
like the hot water bath, but rath-
er increases it; and another adj
vantage it has is, that it does
not interfere with the respira-
ton of the patient, as does the
steam bath or T3rkish BATH
1t is asserted that the body can
endure the influence of such a
bath for a much longer time
than is usually occupied, and
a much higher temperature can
also be applied. 1t can be used
for infants, and permits Of easy
application to a part or to the
whole body. If this remedy
shall prove cfficacious for so Sc
rious an ailment, it will indeed
be boon to large class of
sufferers.

The Grand Jury was discharged this
morning, by Judge Flippin. Previous
to adjournment the jurors presented a
report from which we take the following
items ofinterest: During the term seven
hundred bills of indictment were passed
upon; these included many. trivial
offences, such as fifty cent larceny cases
and cases Of assault and battery. The
jury failed to find many indictments for
trivial offences; the costs in such cases
would be very large and would consume
an immense amount of valuable time.
The county jail was visited by the jury.
One hundred prisoners were found
therein and are properly cared for by
Tailor O'Bannon. The outer wall should
be repaired and the Jail should be pro
tected by lightning rods, it having been
once struck by lightning, owing, prob
ably, to the large amount of iron used
in the construction. The financial
affairs Of the county are secure, and in
two instances an increase of official
bonds was recommended.
The jury recommended that the
County Court consult with some archi'
tect or engineer in regard to preparing
a receptacle for valuable county records
stored in the county building, the late
FIRE demonstrating the necessity OF this
measure. In conclusion the report has
the following:
We wish to congratulate our fellow,
citizens, as we'll as your honor, at the
success which has attended your efforts
to eradicate the vice of gambling in our
city. Keno, faro, lotteries, etc, as far
as we can learn, are things of the past
in Memphis, and had your honor re-
ceived the hearty aid and cooperation
of the city authorities we could, per
haps, have added others TO the list OF
vices estopped.
In conclusion the jurors returned
thanks to the court, Attorney General
assistants, the clerk and his deputies
and officers of the court for the cour.
tesy and urbanity shown by them in
their intercourse with the Grand Jury.
