VIEWS OF A PRACTICAL FARMER.

An old farmer of Yolo county writes
sensible, practical letter to the Democrat.
The curse of California has been the effort
to run big farms:
We aim to farm on too large scale,
skimming over too much land, running it in
grain year after year, thereby diminishing
the sell, while we add nothing thereby to
keep it. The better plan, brother farmers,
in my judgment (say a farmer owns 100
acres of land) would be to divide it up in
4O-acre lots, then summer fallow 40 acr es to
commence with the first year. let 40 20 TO
hay, put in 40 more to Chill clover, and
pasture the other 40 acres; the next Spring
plow your pastured summer fallow, let your
first 40 60 to hay, and pasture your clover
and last years hay land; and by this pro-
cess you will have clean land and good
wheat or barley, as the case may be, be-
sides keeping up the quality Of your land.
By this style OF farming we can keep good
span Of horses which will do ali the work
that is needed and we can, if mares, raise
a couple of good c,ls every year, which
will be an income of 500. On this same
land we can keep ten cows and calves; the
calves at one year old worth 500, the milk
and butter 5000 We can keep so head of
hogs and so head of ewes, the hogs to
bring at the end of the year S. per head,
the ewes to raise so lambs at 81 her head,
worth 800; the wool from the old sheep
$50. Besides, we can keep 200 fowls, the
profits from which will be 5000. Now the
hay and straw will keep your stock; your
40 acres of grain put in by this method of
farming, will produce one year with another,
30 bushels to the acre, which will make
! 200 bushels, counting this grain at 81
per busbel would be 81, 200. Counting
one-half for expenses yon have 5000 left;
now add all this together you have 81 900
clear for your labor. This you can do your
self without any hired help except when
cutting and threshng your grain, for which
the expenses are already taken out
By this kind of economy and industry
you can lay up some money every year,
where the family is not too large and ex-
pensive. Try it, farmers. have reckoned
low, allowing for dry years and wet ones.
We must do our work, farm less, raise more
stock, and save expenses in order to be a
prosperous people. Let us impart practical
ideas to one another and thereby improve
our condition socially and financially, and in
due time we may become happy people.

THE VACANT CHAIR.

Thanksgiving, as well as the assembling

families reunited around the festive board
Mt the old homestead, there was one sight
that detracted from perfect Thanksgiving
and prevented an universal giving away. of
both young and old, to an unalloyed hilar-

bitter though it was, in that it helped stir up
the fires of patriotism, without which we
should, as a nation, have been shattered
into fragments. When the grave Senators
assemble in their hall, at Washington.
Monday, they will find there too, vacant

have referred, were rendered vacant by diff
ferent causes, but both have their impress

bring these two chairs into juxtaposition.
but their teachings, rightfully interpreted,
lead to the same end, "Swcet and glorious
it is to die for ones country" says one of
them, while the other says that the coun-
try must be made worth dying for The
seat of Alexander Caldwell. formerly
claiming to be Senator of the United
States from Kansas, is vacant, never to be
refilled by him. 1t tells the American peo-
pie that seats in that body cannot be bought
and sold like ordinary merchandise. 1t
tells them, as does the case of Tweed.
that there is point in rascality, corrup-
ton and fraud, even in high places, beyond
which men cannot go. What must be the
reflections of Nipple Mitchell or Mitchell
llipple, of Oregon, of the Senator from
South Carolina and of other honorable
men as they gaze thereon. Patterson has
gone, Harlan is absent, poor Pomeroy is
politically no more, and Colfax, being en-
gagged in coquetting with our ex-Vermont
captain, will no longer preside. Their
seats, however, are all filled, well filled,
honorably tilled-but the vacant chair of
Caldwell is the reminder Let them reflect
upon it and "apply their hearts to wis

Stokes was for some time confined, and
Foster some weeks previous to his execu-

spirits and looks quite detected, but this
morning he looked more cheerful and SEEM

fate. He declined all offers to introduce
personal comforts to his cell, and Mrs.
Foster, the matron, furnishes his meals
Several gentlemen called at the prison to
see him, but were not admitted, the Com

having given strict orders since the escape

however, will be relaxed in this case, and
Mr.. Twecd's relatives will be permitted to
