Another stage robbery in California
is reported, and this time the robbers were
not content with the express treasures, but
relieved the passengers Of all their yalua-
bles. 1t appears there were but two Of the
daring highwaymen who are making stage
travel in California so exciting. We are
not told the number Of passengers, but
they must have largely outnumbered the
robbers, and it seems little singular that
they should have so tamely submitted to
berobbed. If these stage coach travellers
viii take the precoutiou to arm themselves
before starting 90 these journeys, and will
fad sufficient nerve to use their arms when
confronted by the highway men, there will
socn be an end Of these outrages Thus
far laundering stage coaches has been a
safe and exceedingly renumeratiyo BUSH
ness, and it is no wonder that outlaws pur.
sue it with such vigor. When few Of
them fud swiftpuuishmeni instead of booty
to be the reward OF their enterprise, they
will be much less ready to take the chances
Of attacking a stage coach.

How Much will Keep u Horse.

4 horse weighing from ten to
twelve hundred pounds will eat
about six tons of hay, or its equiva-
lent, in a year And we suppose
the real point to get at is, whether
one can keep his horses cheaper Oh
some other product than hay. This
is an exceedingly difficult question
to answer-it depends so much on
circumstances. We shall not at
tempt to answer it fully at this time,
but will merely say that, in our opin-
ion, three and a half tons of corn
stalks and two an,t half tons corn
would keep horse year in fully
as good condition as six tons of good
hay.
We may estimate, also, that it
will take three and a half tons Of
oat straw and two and a half tons Of
oats to keep a horse a year. A
bushcl of oats weighs thirty two
pounds. 50 that it will take 155
bushels and three and half tons of
straw to keep horse a year. 1t
would take about two good acres Of
good land to produce this amount.

The Vegetable Harden.


Hoe, hoe. hoe, should be the
watchword of the gardener this
month, for unless the early vegeta-
bles are pushed noao, they will never
attain a satisfactory perfection at
maturity. Not only must the grass
and weeds be kept down but the
soil must be kept loose and perpea-
BILE for the air and dew. Ammonia
is the greatest Of all stirnulants to
plant life, and this stimulant reaches
the feeding rootlets Of the growing
plant more eopiously through the me
dunn of night-air. dews and light
misty rains, than in any other way.
1t is easy to see, therefore, how i'm
portant it is that the surface soil be
kept in proper mechanical condition
to absorb the various menstrual Of
ammonia and of the fertilizing gas
es. And we may also, from this
fact, learn why it is better to stir the
surface Of our garden plot early in
the morning while the dew is on the
ground than to delay our hoeing I'M
til the sun has dissipated both the
dew and it's condensed ammonia.

Principles Governing Rotation.

/. However we'll the sell may be
prepared, it cannot long nourish
crops of the same kind in succession
without being exhausted.
2. Every crop impOverishes soil
more or less, according as more or
less is restored to the soil by the
plant cultivated.
3. Perpendicular plants and such
as root horizontally ought to sue
coed each other.
4. Plants of the same kind should
not return too frequently in rotation.
5. Two plants favorable to the
growth of weeds ought MOTTO succeed
each other.
6. Such plants as eminently ex-
haust the soil rs the grains and oil
plants. should only be Gown when
the land is in good heart.
z. In proportion as a soil is found
to exhaust itself by successive crops.
plants which are least exhausting
should be cultivated.

in order to keep their lands rich for

Prents Of robaceo culture.

|
A Western paper calls attention
to the fact that with new tobacco
at thirty to forty cents a pound.
numbers of Yankee tobacco-growers
have become rich and own some OF
the best farms in New England .
And again, with jubilant triumph,
asks: .'Where, we should like to
know, can from $500 to $500 be Ia
ken from the acre every year?'-
The conclusion assumed is. that this
is profitable farming" But the as
sumption that any such profit is real
ly obtained is baseless one. The
crop may be gathered from the area
of a single acre. but it is made up
from the fertility drawn from many
acres. Tobacco is one of the most
exhausting crops to the land on
which it grows. Like all large-leaf-
ed plants it requires much nitrogen.
and more than any other known in
modern agriculture, it takes potash
from the soil. The produce of a
farm, after having served its pur-
pose as cattle feed, is turned as ma
nure to the barn-yard or stable, and
should be returned as fertilizer to
the fields from which it originally
came. In tobacco culture it is carried
to the tobacco-patch, and the re-
mainder of the acreage may &c to
thin red-top or thinner rye. It is
no wonder, therefore, that in West
ern Connecticut "many a farm of
from sixty to one hundred acres,
with good buildings and eut-houses,
and three or four acres of tobacco
land, will not average in price $50
per acre. That tillage is the best
and most profitable which raises the
fertility and consequent productive
ness of the whole homestead through
out for staple cropping. meadow,
grazing, corn or wheat, and this is
most wasteful which concentrates all
upon few acres, to the neglect of
the rest, and stakes the payment of
the yearly expenses of a single pro-
duct liable to great fiuctuation in the
and incapable of being used
upon the land ITSELF
