The ffosts come before the 18th Of April in the
spring, and about the 18th of Novennbef IN the
autumn. Tobacco has been cultivated in Caliior-
mia for many years; bat not largely. On one
farm successive -Eops have been raised for twelve
years without tnure, and the last yield was as
abundant Is fant; That was on bottom land

continues will retard sales The stalls In the Bulls
Head stable hardly half filed, and great change
is expected until the LIST Of next month The supply Of
fine horses Is fully adequate TO the demand and, al
though inquiries made few actual sales take
place. The number of work horses hand Is moderate
and there steady demand for them Some bring $3.50
$780, while the price for railroad horses IL unchanged
being s75 to $780, The sanitary condition of the stables
is excellent and country dealers may rely finding
good, IL better facilities for transacting business
here than elsewhere.
The carriage manufacturers report business a dull.
but they not disappointed, such sUsually the

Keep the Skin Clean.

The advantages attendant upon the
thorough currying and washing the hair
and hide are, additional beauty, a better
digestion, hence greater ease of fattening
and on less amount of food, and, directly
and indirectly, an influence for goodupon
the whole animal health, among which
may be mentioned less liability to diarr-
hga. Every stable, whether for cow or
horse, should have its curry comb and
brush to these some add the card; and
there should be also a tub for water OF
weak soap-suds, and sponge. These
should be used at least once in two DAYS
in warm weather, and any farmer who
has never tried it will be astonished at
the marked improvement in his cattle if
he will only adopt this plan as an expert
ment, even for a few days.
The COW thus treated will yield more
and better milk; the OK or workhorse af-
ter his skin is cleaned, sleeps we'll and is
rested; the next morning he goes forth to
his work with an elastic step, and a con-
scIousness in every movement Of health
and strength. The time and care taken in
cleaning their skins is more than returned
IN better product or increased labor.
The skin is the outlet of foul matter
which nature throws off from our bodies
it is itself constantly wearing away, and
the dead particles require to be rubbed
of rather than allowed to accumulate
among the animals hair, causing that
covering to become unhealthy. Some
farmers complain that their cattle are
constantly rubbing down their posts and
fences. A little currying would stop all
such trouble.-N Y Times.

Quite Enough Married.

An incident of crossing the plains in
the early days was told by clever lady
at the breakfast table one morning in
Frisco. A Dutchman and his wife had
travelled west and arrived at Salt Lake,
where they halted for a few weeks. The
Mormons got around the old Dutchman
and coaxed him to join their ranks.
After retiring one night in their canvas
covered wagon-bed, the good Dutchman
broke the matter to his better half, limiting
to her that the Mormons told him he had
better "stay, settle among dem: and take
some more wives" elbow many wives
you thinks you wants 90 asked Katrina.
The Dutchman thought ''fife more would
make a half dozen already" whereupon
the wife got down her bodice, and slip
ping from it, what the Dutchman called
the 'sprestboard, vich vas made from Wis
consin hickory und vas very tough" she
laid the hickory fierce and fast on the old
man, who shuff1ed out Of the wagon and
fell in ditch. The old man got up, and
his stomach it vas very cold, but his
back it vas very warm" His wife cried
out GLOW many wives you thinks you
wants now, ould fool % But the Dutch
man felt and expressed that one was
enough.-C0l9for7as0 Letter. -,

Improve Your Farm.

MAKE up your mind to steadily improve
the condition of your land; above all, kill
the weeds; underdrain; grow more clover,
peas and roots, and consume them all on
the farm. Make more and better manure.
Buy bran to feed out. Sell timothy hay,
if need be, but never sell clover hay Sell
straw whenever, as now in this section,
it is worth half as much per ton as bran.
Study the chemisty of manures. There
are many places where artificial fertiliz-
ers can be used to great advantage. I'M
prove your stock; feed literally. Raise a.
few thoroughbreds, and gradually work
your way into the business; but do not be
in a hurry. Set out choice fruit trees.
and take care of them. Spend moderate
" Live within your income Do not
discount your prospects. And again
L say Kill the aoeeds. Gull
tiyate the land thoroughly. Make
the weed-seeds grow, and then kill the
young plants I feel sure that the young
farmer who follows this advice will not
have to wait many years before getting
his reward. look upon it as absolutely
certain that we shall. get good prices for
farm produce in the near future. | fear
we shall get extravagantly high prices I
fear still more that few farmers will profit
by them. Prices never have been and
never can be high enough to make poor
farming profitable. You must get your
land in good condition now, and thus be
ready to avail yourselves of the high
prices when they come-as come they will.

Summer Care of Dairy Cows.

The practice is too common among
dairymen to allow their cows to run out
night and day, however cold and stormy
| the weather may be from the day they are
turned out in the spring until the first
snow in the fall, and sometimes even later.
| Cows are subject to take severe colds
! from exposure to inclelnent weather, fully
as much as men are, and these colds often
so completely derange and weaken the
| whole SYSTEM that garget with all it's
evils, as well as many other COW diseases
receive their starting point in this way.
| Cause and effect are, as general rule, So
far separated from each other by interven-
ing time, in cases of garget, that we fail
| to trace the connection between them.
Yet of all the diseases or ailments to
which the dairy-cow is subject, garget
causes the greatest loss to the dairymen,
| is the most difficult to cure, (murrain ex-
cepted,) and the most difficult to trace to
| its origin, or starting point
Among the prolific causes of garget the
| following may be named: First-fast
driving when the cows bag is full of
milk, causing internal injuries to the
| udder. Second-external injuries to the
| bag, such as thumps and bruises with
sticks and stones. Third-improper
| management in drying the COWS off at the
close of the milking season. Fourth
overlooking with grain. Fifth, changing
the COW too suddenly from dry food to
succulent or milk producing food, not
giving the milk-producing and milk
secreting organs time to conform to the
change produced by the change of food.
Last, but not least, constant source from
which garget arises is the cruel exposure
of the cows to cold storms of rain and
snow. A deep mixer (and poor mixers
are not often troubled with gargeD during
her greatest flow of milk is always very
liable to attacks of garget whenever she
| takes cold. These attacks are often slight
at first, but each succeeding one always
comes with greater violence than the one
