grain OF any kind than we sell and raise at pres.

thus lessen the expense for seed, cultivation,
harvesting, etc. would raise thirty bushels OF
wheat to the acre every third year. If we sum

IN three years, instead of ten bushels every

can enrich my farm neatly as much by feeding
the clover to the amin ais and returning the ma,
nure to the land. The animals do not take out
more Than from five TO ten per cent of the most
valuable elements of plant food from the clover.
And so my plan, viii it produces as much
and no more grain 10 sell, adds greatly to the
fertility of the land, and gives an increased pro-
duction of beef, butter, mutton. wool. cheese

as an ash heap. We planted In good time, and
1t came up nicely; but the cut-wOrm DESTROYED
it all, so that it had to be planted over again,
and then replantsd after the second planting
before we could get anything like a fair stand
of corn.
Our neisllbor had field jdst across the fence
OF about the same size. IL was on the same
slope, aud was the same kind Of land exactly.-
II had been in timothy the same length of time
that our field had. He broke il up In the Spring.
and planted II 20 cOrG the same day that we did.
The grass hal COTTON such a start, before he

A CALIFORNIAN RANCHE.-Dr. Glenn, of
Coluso county, owns ranch which contains
nearly $4,000 acres. 1t embraces a frontage of
eighteen miles on the Sacramento liver, and en-
tends back about five miles. II Is enclosed and
divided by l+0 miles OF fencing. One tenant
acres OF the land, and the Jitptom Dtornefs ctiI:
ttvate an equal portion. Some $4,000 acres are
rented out to a number of farmers who work on
smaller scale. At the present time farninr
operations are going on in this rancho at a live
~ rate, as the work Of harvesting is progressing
rapidly. Hoog is engaged in cutting 1000 acres
OF wheat aud barley. The crop this year will
yield about twenty bushels of wheat per acre
In favorable seasons the yield has been abou,
thirty i've bushels Tho yield of barley is con.
siderably larger. The total crop will amount
to nearly 10000 bushels. lie Is threshing his
grain with one of Cases 48 Inch cylinder thTesh-
ing machines, which is run by a twenty-horse
power steam engine. To supply this machine
requires six large sized headers and eighteen
header wagons, all Of which requires the labor
OF ITO horses and 80 men. The machine has
threshed live sacks of barley per minute, al,
which rate 1t has run for an hour and half in
succession. 1t has also threshed thilty-two sacks
OF wheat in seven minutes. Ii will require
about six weeks to thresh the entire cron.
These are the operations of Hoog alone. Cup
ton Brothers have an equally large crop, and
are driving business Oh about the same scale. -
The smaller tenants are equally well employed.
