SAN FRANCISCO, December 2s.-From
Hong Kong "Press" placards, censuring the
Chinese government for arranging terms
with Mr.. Wade. appeared in Pekin, but
were Immediately removed by the authori-
ties. An uneasy feeling among the native
officials, regarding the recent negotiations,
is reported. Fresh information, implicat-
ing the Mamien authorities in Mr.. Mar
gary's murder, is said to have transpired.
Referring to the above, the "Press" says ::
kilograms received indicate anything but a
satisfactory feeling among the Chinese,
with regard to the recent negotiations. They
appear TO bear out that the difficulty has
has only been settled temporarily. Con-
siderable satisfaction is felt among Amer
ican residents at Tientin and Pekin, at the
order Of Admiral Reynolds sending the L.
S. ship "Manacacy" to Shanghai for re-
pairs, owing to the unsettled state Of affairs
in Yunman.

FUND.

Under the head of 'the Annual School
Fund" is embraced all the money distrib-

the school districts. This fund is derived
from the interest on the school bonds in
which the permaSent school fnnd is in
vested; from interest on lands sold and
not yet paid up; from the one mill tax lev
led annually; and from receipts from the
Insurance Department. During 1874 there
accumulated from these four sources, the

SENATOR Johnston, who has just been re-

He is about fifty-6ve years Of age, and BE-

he was appointed by a military CON-

nevertheless the cold winds and frosts

nevertheless the cold winds and frosts
of Spring destroyed the Diehl.
The beneficial influence of protection
against the prevailing winds of March
and April, is shown more strikingly
this season than l ever remember to
have seen before. Land sloping to the
east will have good wheat growing on
it, while other parts of the same field
that slope to the westward will be
ruined Even an ordinary rail fence
will show strip of good wheat in its
lee, rod or SO wide, while farther out
in the field there will be no wheat.
This unevenness of the crop is entirely
due to the fact that the cold winds of
Spring took hold of the unprotected
places and killed the plants. No Sum-
mer-fallowing or thorough cultivation
is of the least benefit or protection
against these winds. Rather the other
wise-for the rougher the ground is left
in the Fall, the more plants will sur
vive, and the smoother the surface the
more destructive the effects of the
winds
l have seen ground frozen hard and
dry, and the soil blown away from the
wheat plants, leaving them to die, or,
perhaps, barely banging by the ends of
their roots, to just survive, if favorable
weather came soon. In fields sloping
to the westward, or otherwise much
exposed to the Spring winds, | like to
drill in the wheat at right angles to the
prevailing winds, which are here from
the northwest This makes the drill
marks run southwest and northeast,
leaving the ground as rough as pos
sible. The drill ridges make consid-
cradle protection, and top-dressing of
fine well-rotted barn yard manure,
spread on the ground Immediately be-
fore the seed is drilled in, will almost
insure the safety of the crop. Between
the stimulating influence of the manure,
and the protection of the drill ridges,
the crop will generally go through
safely Some of the best wheat now
growing on our own farms, is on the
Drinks of some sharp ridges and knolls,
that were treated in the manner de-
scribed. But the Spring must have
been more severe in Seneca county than
here, for Mr. Johnston's wheat has
suffered more than ours, though it was
well MANFRED and drilled in.

Sdlu uc uiu uOI tHluh his iaUu well
adapted to this crop, though it did hap
pen to be good this year. He did raise
barley long ago, but the price fell off
and went below half dollar per bus,
considerably, and he discontinued rails
ing it. Now the price of barley is
good, and he is trying it again, intend
ing to sow wheat on the stubble this
| Fall. He said that he never raised a
very heavy crop; his largest was Al
bushels to the acre, by measure, that
weighed 81 pounds to the bushel, (or
! 43 IL market measure to the acre. y
He followed this crop of barley with
Diehl wheat, and harvested 33 bushels
to the acre, selling it for seed at So. 25
per bushel When | told him that some
of my neighbors were raising barley
and averaging 40 bushels per acre for a
series of years, and following with
wheat that had averaged fully IS bush
! els per acre, he said this was far better
than raising only the crop of wheat F.;
and, that if he could calculate on an
average of 80 bushels of barley, to be
followed by 20 bushels of wheat, he
would consider the two crops more pro-
ftable than one crop of wheat-which
could not well be estimated at more
than five bushels per acre better on a
Summer fallow than after barley, if the
land was rich and properly cultivated
but to make either way profitable, it
must be both rich and we'll cultivated,
and Summer-fallows must occasionally
be resorted to, to destroy weeds.
With all Mr.. Johnston's knowledge
and industry, his wheat crop this year
is nearly failure. His Diehl wheat,
that was exposed to the cold winds of
March and April, was just ruined, and
the timothy seed sown in early October,
1874, has matured into fine crop of
hay, and has been cut for hay. The
Diehl that was sheltered by a thick
belt of woods along the lake shore is
barely middling, and ripening very I'M
evenly. The Clawson wheat, of which
he sowed only strip along the side of
the ruined field of Diehl, is middling.
was at Mr. Johnston's last season
just previous to wheat sowing, and saw
the perfect cultivation of this field, that
has failed so entirely, so far as the
Diehl wheat is concerned. The Sum-
mer-fallowing had been very thorough,
and the Canada thistle roots, that the
nurserymen had introduced while rails
ing trees in this field, were being dug
up as far as they could be traced, and

A VISIT TO JOHN JoHNToS.

Mr.. Johnston was "a last April, and
feels the infrmities of age somewhat so
far as his bodily strength is concerned,
but not at all as regards his mental
powers. In fact it is very wonderful to
hear him give dates, and specify, with
out reference to any notes or memoran-
da, the years in which certain crops
were raised on his several fields, the
yields per acre and the prices obtained.
Nor does he forget his failures. Two
crops of whoa. one of 80and. the other
of 80 aefss, have been destroyed by-
hail storms during the time he has been
raising wheat, and when he says he
thinks that his lifelong average yield
has been equal to % bushels to the
acre, he includes these two years of
total failure. This is mistake and
was corrected by Mr.. j. In making his
average he excluded the two years of
,ilure l.s-
