Cleaning StubbIe Land.

THE farmer who has field which has
grown wheat, or barley, or oats this year
and is not seeded down, and which is not
to be sown with any other crop until
next spring, has an opportunity of clean
ing his land that should on no account
be neglected. The English farmers sell
dom seed down their land with wheat.
After the wheat is harvested they har-
row the land or tear it to pieces with a
three or four horse cultivator or grub
ber.' This pulls out the roots of quack-
grass and starts the seeds of other weeds.
The field is afterward plowed, when, of
course, all the young weed plants are
destroyed. The grubber is kept at work
as often as necessary to clean and mel
low the land. The next spring this land
is sown to turnips or mangels, or, on
heavy land, to beans or barley. 1t is
said that this autumn cleaning of stubble
land by the free use of the grubber,
especially when operated by the all-pow-
erful steam engine, is one Of the greatest
agricultural Improvements of the age.
What is true of English farming might
be still more emphatically true of Amer
lean agriculture. Our autumns are long
er, and drier, and hotter than they are in
England, and we have better oppor-
tunity to clean our land, while there is
certainly greater necessity. Our fields
are fearfully foul with all kinds of weeds
and in many instances they are annually
gaining stronger foothold. We must
fight if we would win. 1t will not do to
60 on in the old way. With our drying
winds and hot sun we ought to have the
cleanest farms in the woodland sooner
or later such will be the case We must
kill weeds by wholesale. 1t will not do
to depend on the hoe and the fingers
Nature is never at rest. It will not do
to let land lie idle. When it is not occu-
pied with growing crops we should be
occupied in stirring the soil and killing
weeds. It is the great secret of success
in farming-American Agriculturist.

Treating the wrong Disease,

Many times Women call upon their family
physicians, one with dyspepsia, another with
palpitation, another with trouble of the breast,
another with pain here and there and in this
way they all present alike to themselves and
their easy going and Indifferent doctors sepa-
rate and distinct diseases, for which he pre-
scribes his pills and poti,ns, assuming them
to be such, when, III reality, they are all
symptoms caused by some uterine disorder;
and while they are thus only able to paliate
for time, they are ignorant of the cause and
encourage their practice until large bills are
made, when the suffering patients are no bet
ter in the end, but probably worse for the de-
lay, treatment, and other complications made,
and which proper medicine directed to the
cause would have entirely removed, thereby
instituting health and comfort instead of pro-
longed misery.

Small Stock of Breadstuffs in England. !,

The extent of the failure of the En-
ropean harvests is only now Begin
ming to be realized. With one half
the year still to face, we are told by
the medium of the telegraph that the
stock of wheat and flour in Liverpool
to date does not exceed one million of
centals of the former. Liverpool is
the great wheat entrepot of the United
Kingdom, and from the above state
ment it would appear that, taking into
account the stocks held in the other
large cities of England, Ireland and
Scotland in the hands Of wholesalers
and retailers, there cannot now be
much more than enough for months
consumption in the aggregate. This
is bad lookout for the laboring mill
lions of the British Empire, but it is
good for those in America who have
wheat to sell. There are not more
than six million centals afioat, includ-
ing California, Eastern, Chilean and
Black Sea wheat, and the total avail
able surplus for shipment does not in
America, Europe and Australia eX-
ceed thirty million centals; whereas,
England requires at least seventy.
This will cause prices there-which
have gone up twenty-five cents per
GENITAL within very short time-to
mount still higher and higher. Those
dealers in this city who have had the
foresight to buy up in advance will
make money; and the farmers who
have been able to hold over will obtain
splendid prices as the season progress
es. Starting into the year lS74-75

NAsQUEz OPERATING IN VIsALIA.-
The Delta of January Sth gives these
particulars of late raid of this rob-

On Sunday last, about the hour that

being on the street at the time, all who
We're armed started boldly to the front.
Two men on horseback, and one on
foot, had entered town, evidently to
try the nerve of Visalia and see what
plumber they could get. Coming first
upon the house of widow, they tied
her down and secured what money
she had, some SIG in coin. Some
member of this family being in the
back yard, saw the robbers, and
sounded the alarm, which readily
brought a party to the rescue. The
robbers hastily fled, pursed short dis
lance by citizens. In their hasty
flight they left some sixty pieces of rope
with which to tie persons, cut and pre-
pared, ready for immediate use, evil
IDENTIFY meaning "buSiness.n Marcus,
who killed Mariana in this place some
three or four weeks ago, was identified
as one of the robbers, and he is prOba-
bly, skulking around Nisala, as he is
reported to have been seen here last
night by one who knows him.
