Here is the result of knowledge applied
to growing an acre of corn. One hundred
bushels shelled corn at sixty cents a
bushel would leave a profit of eighteen
dollars per acre; while the value of the
manure is only partially expended. In
addition, the stalks are worth three dollars
per acre. In the portion of a farm in
grass the profit is much greater per acre
where the management has been such as
to insure the largest yield. Now, when a
farmer makes up his mind to do a great
thing IN crop growing, and really gives
his best talent to the undertaking, applies
his knowledge of business to the expert
ment, he is about sure to succeed, is he
not? Well, then, do not say that he does
not know anything about the business. 1t
is an aspersion upon his character to hint
that he Is not buainess man. Farmers
know how to do better than they do. If
this knowledge is so thoroughly applied
always, 1t IS certain that every farmer
would largely increase his products; and
we imagine that it is not necessary to
show that the larger the returns from par
ticular crops the larger are the profits OF
farming. Farmers should extend their
business in this direction.
There is sometimes danger in extending
the size of farms, but never any in in
creasing the yield of farm crops The
cost of running farm is not in proper
ton to what it produces, but in proportion
to its size or extent. If you increase its
extent you increase the cost of operating
Not so if you add to the per cent. per acre
OF the Weld. Then it is very clear, is it
not, that the profits of farming depend on
the higher yield per acre? To get on well
in life, then, we must apply our knowl-
edge of business constantly and faithfully.
There is no doubt that by so doing every
acre of land now in cultivation in the
State might lie made to produce about
double what it new does. The farmer of
small means must not "spend his money

MAN WHO saw A MULE DIE.
The Tragic Event which Occurred on the seuth
Fork Of the Yuba River.
(rrom the Virginia, Nevada, Chronicle.

(From the virginia Nevada, Chronicle)
".Aint il a curious thing that nobody ever
sees mule die Z" remarked an old teamster IN
Gumbert Il Webbcr's saloon. NO man living
ever saw "A mule die, ] s'posc:'
Thus remarked Mr.. Daniels, lighting fresh
cigar. "In 1870 was mining on the south
fork of the Yuba and it came my turn to cook
for nv gang. We took turns each week, you
know. Well I was going to show how eco,
nomical / could run the commssaly. | went
and bought peck of dried apples; they were
all stuck together in Il lump, hut got 'em
jammed into the pot, poured III some water
and started the fire. Presently few of 'em
began to rise up to the top OF the pot, and SO |
skinned 'em off and put cm IN pan. Pret-
ty soon some more bulged up, and skinned
them off and put 'cm in the pan. The first
thing ! knew, after had skinned that blast
ed pot for while, | had to get another pan,
and then another and by the time I'd got four
pans heapcd up full, dang my skin if there
wasn't more apples in the pans than there was
in the pot. That is, thought so at the time.
kept getting more pans and buckets and lard
cans, and all the while plumb frightened to
death for fear some of the boys would come in
and see how cXtravagant was, for had been
blowin' on how cheap | could run the mess.
The blasted apples still kept a-comin' out Of
the pot. 1 put some papers out on the floor
and covered 'cm with fruit, and, by Jove, the
place looked like Santa Clara fruitdrying
establishment and the pot was still bilin'
full"

An OsAGE ORANGE HEDGE-Whcrc our
climate is not too severe, the Usage orange has
proved the best material for live fence The
great trouble with it, however, as with all live
fences, is to get it started with an even thick
ness along the row; plants here and there will
fail to grow. Hence resort has been had to
cutting off at the ground, or to bending or
plashing to remedy this difficulty The mode
have lately learned. and which | think is far
better than all others, is to allow the new
hedge TO grow, say, three or four years, or un-
til the stems will measure an inch in diameter
or more at the ground. Then, early in the
spring, cut off the branches close to the body
clean out the row Of all rubbish and all the
branches; saw each plant partly of at the
ground, bind it down in the row and peg it
there, following the row until all are cut and
neatly pcgged to the ground, everything each
other. Many persons have practiced cutting
and bending down, but have omitted to trim off
the branches, and have had poor success 1t is
this trimming that ensures II growth of new
wood all along the line and makes hedge that
rabbit cannot pass through or Il bullock go
ovel. Cultivate well and trim into proper
sha"o annually.-Phrcaoiogical Jo"lpoL
