System i'm Farming.

System Is just as NJ cessary in farm
ing as it is in storekeeping or any
other business. If a farmer would sue
ceed, and who would not, he must pur,
sue some well-matured plans, and fol-
low them closely. lie must find out
what is land is best fitted tor, and
what means must be employed to cul-
tiyate it :; then go to work in
straightforward, business manner AT
the same time he must know how
much labor he can do in certain
time after he has allowed for all pos
sible drawbacks he must leave as
little as possible to guesswork. Then,
after this, comes the work whatever
it be, and this he must do with energy
and skill lie must not be slip-shod
now. but 60 his work well, and cery
well. He has estimated the cost--let
him work within the ascribed limits.
This also supposes that work is to be
done in its season; some farmers are
in such haste to beat their neighbors
that they are always in advance of the
season, and this shows their lack of
system, Or rather Of judgement. To
have work properly planned is to have
it partly done, for then it is done in
telligently and according to q certain
definite plan, and so comedies with all
previous and subsequent labor, and
then avoids undue hurry or excite
ment, which is detrimental to all intel
ligent operations, 1t thus permits
the completion Of detail and conse
quently no part is overwrought and
no part is slighted. System thus
avoids the numerous small leakages
which run off with small and large
capitals. The man without system is
like compassless ship and his bust
ness a constant series of m;shaps. Sys,
tenn on a farm supposes that the sea-
sons will follow their usual rounds
that so much Of 4 spring crop can be
planted and well cultivated that so
much harvest can be we'll taken care
of; that so many acres can be proper
Fly manured that so many head Of
each kind of stock can he well sup
ported that markets are looked after
in preparing the articles and selling
them that care is exercised in stock
ing the farm and IN the purchase of
implements, and that no detail is too
small to be overlooked. 1t also sup.
poses economy, but at the same time
expects liberality where ]iberality is
economy, In short, system is the
heart of a mans business without it
he may labor hard and diligently and
accomplish nothing, with it he may
risk great odds. TO prolong spring
work into Summer, summer work into
fall, to breed at random. to Hy into
the arms of every new theorist, to be
led by ones neighbors, is to misera
bly, fail. Have Il place for everything
and everything in its place a time
for everything and everything in its
season, and let all be done according
to some well-definel plan. In Il
word, have SYSTEM - American Pat,

CRUDE WAY TO TEsT SULPHURETS,-Since
 it has been found that sulphurets will pay
 to save Tn milling process, and that the county abounds In this material. we give be-
 low hint to prospectors in testing rock. which never fails. Several veins which have heretofore been considered of little value, on account of the large amount of sulphurets contained therein, and the ignorance of the holders of the way to test them, have been found to be immensely rich in gold. A new era is opened in mines here, and it will vet be found that these sulphuret veins are the ones for durability and wealth. The crude mode will not hold good in all cases Gin all kinds of sulphuret rock, but will bring out more or less of the precious metal, if there is any in it: Put piece of the rock into the fire, say about the size of your fist, and heat it to cherry-red, throughout, but do not get 1t to a white heat, as 1t will fuse and run; takc it out of the fire and give it a gentle shower bath, so as to cool it off slowly, as too sudden cooling will slack up the rock When cool, examine the rock, and if it is rich it will generally show the gold But for surcr test, pulverisc it and thorn it out" in the usual way. This, perhaps, is not so sure way as 6 test with acids, but acids are not always at hand in the woods with the prospector. After burning, as above, if it does not show gold, it will not be apt to do SC with acids. as it scarcely, if ever fails to bring the color; that is, where the sul- phuret is composed mostly of iron and sul- phur, or arsenic this test is good and will not fail. But where the sulphuret is copper (and iron) the test is not so good, because the copper fuses and carries everything that comes in contact with #, sn if there is any gold with it. it will be covered oF fused wis;ii copper.-IT Tuolumne Independent.

Tha San Diego World discusses the adverse claims of the Central Pacific and Texas iS Pacific railroads. lt>expresses an opinion that the best policy of the latter road is to abandon the idea of route by San Gorgonio Pass, and build direct from Fort Yuma % San Diego, on the Reno survey. The neces- slty for railroad from the East to the Pa ciiic at some point in Southern California is apparent. The route advised by the World is an ez.siiisive one, but practicable, never theless. But perhaps the best route of all ihoec proposed is the thirty-fifth parallel, which would fill the wants of the country better, We think, than any which have been devised.

Tucson, Dec. 30, 1874.

The foregoing Is from the Tucson Citizen of January a. Mr. Bean is now here. Since his return from Tucson, we have spoken to him about the contents of the foregoing card and informed him that it was his ''triend," not ours, or Mir. Stevens, who accused him of ways that were dark and tricks that were vain down in Tennessee and elsewhere. As to personalities, it was one, tor more), of his very personal friends who first started the bad business by charging that II. $. Stevens had been drummed out of the army. Further.aa-e it was stated to us that Mir. Bean wss making use of this charge against his late opponent, who, to our knowl- edge, had never spoken disrespectful word of Mr. Bean, and, it was with desire to get at the truth or falsity of the report brought here by Mr. Bean and his friend, or friends, that we alluded to the matter at all.
 Then, having in our mind certain charges upon which NIT. Bean might be arraigned, we, for the first time, reminded him of the saying, People who live in glass houses" etc, etc.

PERSONAL GIRO BY HONG C. BEAN

EDITOR CTTHEN-My Dear Sir: The Daily MINER, of December 2l, contains an editorial en- titled "Political," in which free comment is made upon my position toward Mir. Stevens
 Having determined from the outset of the cam pagn, that under circumstances whatever would descend 10 personal abuse or defamation of my opponents, l wish 10 make it known that l shall adhere to that resolution. Every where in public and in private, have endeavorcd to main- tain my selt respect and to speak of my oppo- nents with appreciation. The electoneering tales which have been told affecting their perso- nal character or my own, have passed by in si- lence If l did not beat MT. Stevens fairly and squarcly in the contest, he Is welcome to the po- sition he sought; and if Mr. Marion or his friends are possessed of any information which would tend to impair my reputation for integrity and show that was not or am not worthy of the confidence of my fellow-citzens, that am guilty Of certain "misdeeds in Tennessee" or elsew here let the fact be made known, Mir. Marion, and don't let us have any more electioneering bun combe about it.
