California Orange Groves.

A correspondent writing from Los An
gelos says; I" The orange groves are a
magnificent sight to behold just now, la
den as they are with their golden burdens
golden in seeming and golden in reality.
The harvest is just commencing, and large
quantities are daily arriving at the depot
to be shipped to San Francisco and else
where. One dealer of San Gabriel sold his
orange crop for $50 per thousand. His
orange grove covers five acres and contains
500 trees. Estimating these at 1000
oranges each, the crop is worth $15,O00.-
Three thousand dollars an acre is pretty
good return for their cultivation, and near
ly all clear profit, for the crop was sold on
the trees. One acre in Southern California
can be made to yield as great a clear profit
by semi-tropical nut and fruit culture as
twenty acres or fifty acres in the Eastern
states devoted to ordinary kinds of farm
ing. When one looks at the loads of this
luscious fruit daily coming into town, and
thinks of the immense profit they must
yield to their owners, he cannot help but
wish he had come here some twelve or
fourteen years sooner and gone into the
orange business"

Tea Growing in Georgia.

Mrs. r. j. Screven, of Liberty county,
has sent to the editor of the Albany, Ca,
Ne'0s package Of black tea of her own
raising and curing. In her letter she de-
scribes the mode of manipulating and dry
ing the leaves, and how to raise and pro-
tect the plants, and says that the tea plant
grows beautifully as. high up as Athens,
Ca, and is more sensitive to heat than to
cold. She says that grove of tea plants
once started will last lifetime, and after
the roots are well established in the ground
the plants require no more attention than
any of our fruit trees or garden shrubs.

eggs to stiff froth, adding cup of white
sugar and the juice Of the lemon. When
the pudding is baked, place over the top a
thick layer of jelly, and spread over this

How they.klIl Cattle in Texas.

The ordinary plan of drawing the steer
down to the block, and striking them on
the head with an axe, is too slow for the
wholesale butchery carried on here. About
one dozen head are driven into small pen,
just sufficiently large to hold that number
closely packed, and gate forced to be-
hind them. This bed has an open slat
platform across the top of it, upon which
two men are stationed with poles with
sharp pointed knives fixed on the end of
them. With a rapidity acquired by long
practice, they plunge their spears into the
necks of the affrighted and struggling ami
mails, cutting the jugular vein, and each
successfully falls as if struck down with an
axe. The blood spurts out in streams as
if from dozen fountains, and in less than
a minute the whole pen full are down
quivering in the throes of death, and COW
cred with blood. The door of the pen
leading into the rendering room is then
thrown open, the animals drawn out in
succession, knife rapidly splits the skin
around the neck and down the stomach
a. rope is attached to the upper part of the
hide by clamp, to the other end of which
is a'mule, which leisurely walks off down
the yard carrying the skin of the animal
with him, and leaving the carcass still
quivering with animal life. A tackle
hoists the body up to level with the
mouth of one of the immense cauldrons,
and in less time than we have taken to
describe the process, it is in the seething
and boiling mass. There are four or five
of these cauldrons, each large enough to
hold dozen beeves, and they are kept
constantly going during the killing season.
The tallow is drawn off into large hogs
heads, and the remains of these great soup
kettles are carted out on to what is called
the "hash pile" consisting of bones, horns,
and the animal matter from which all the
fatty substance has been extracted.

EQUALLY GOOD FOR MAN OR BEAST.
This Liniment has earned for itself reputa-
tion unequalled in the history of external ap-
plications. Thousands who now suffer from
Rheumatism, Neuralgia, &C., would find i'm
mediate relief from all their pain by using this
certain remedy. 1t is equally efIectual in Cuts,
Burns, scalds, Stiffness of the Neck, Sore
Throat, Swellings, Inaammations, Frost Bites,
Pains in the Side and Back, Bites of Spiders
or Stings Of Insects. One rubbing will in all
cases give immediate relief, and few applica-
tions complete cure. On account of its pow
erful penetrating properties IT is beyond doubt,
the SUREST REMEDY for the most trouble
some diseases to which horses and cattle are
liable. 1t cures Scratches, Old and Fresh Cuts
and Sores, Chafes produced by collar or sad
die. Injuries caused by nails or splints enter
ing the flesh or hoofs, Bruises, sprains, swee-
ney, Spawn, Thrush, and all diseases which
destroy the hoofs or bones of the feet. Fnn
directions accompany each bottle. Prepared

THOMPSON'S
Fever &c A0aLe PO1CCIeTS
FOR THE
PERMANENT CURE OF CHILLS AND FE-
YER, DUMB AGUE, OR ANY FORM
OF INTERMITTENT FEVER
The Greatest Discovery of the Age


HNHERE are no diseases so debiitatng in
IL their effects upon the constitution as the
above, and none more difficult to cure by the
usual modes of practice. The Fever and Ague
Powders will effect a cure in cases of the long
est standing, as well as prove q preventive in
the forming stages of disease. Being purely
Vegetable, they act with certainty on the dis
ease, totally eradcating it from the system,
and preventing a return at any future period.
Why waste your money and health in trying
every medicine you hear of, when Thompson's
Fever and Ague Powders have never failed to
cure the Chills in any case.
REASONS WHY THEY ONLY SHOULD BE
USED:
Their Reputation is Established. - Thousands
of TESTIMONIALS have been received, showing
that these Powders have performed miracles in
curing cases of long standing, many of them
considered hopeless.
There Is no Risk IN Taking Them. - They
contain nothing injurious, and, therefore, cause
none of those lingering diseases so often the re-
suit of the many nostrums of the day. Physi-
clans recommend them as far superior to Qui-
nine, or any other known remedy, for they leave
the system In healthy state, and the patient
beyond the probability of relapse.
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS. - The
genuine are put up In square tin boxes, with
"Thompson's Fever and Ague Powders"
stamped on the lid, and the signature of
"Thompson q Crawford" on the wrapper
No others can possibly be genuine.
