4 California Farm.

A correspondent of the Boston Jour-
nal gives the following account of one
of the famous farms of California. 1t is
another proof of the often demonstrated
fact that agriculture pays better than
hunting for gold, either in the diggings
or the mines:
The great Glenn Farm is probably the
largest wheat growing farm in the
United States. 1t belongs to DR.. Hugh
j. Glenn, and numbers $4,000 acres. Ii
is in Colusa county, located on the west
bank OF the Sacramento river. and has a
frontage of some thirty miles. The soil
is productive, in some places it being
composed of black adobe or rich alluvial
and in others of rcd prairie and hard
gravel. The doctor came into posses
sion of the farm some six or seven
years ago, paying all the way from 81
go to $50 per acre. The entire farm is
cultivated, but only 5000 acres are used
by the doctor, the remainder being
leased by him TO other parties, one rent
ing $1,000 acres, another 10000 acres,
another 1000 acres, and tue remainder
to another. The rentor of the 5000
acres Is named Hoag, and he is called
the largest wheat grower in this coun-
try. lie employs an immense force of
men, horses and mules, while the num-
Der of gang ploughs, cultivators, drills,
sewers, harrows, headers, header wag-
ons, separators and other harvest ma
chinery would be amply sufficient to
stock the largest agricultural warehouse.
Hoag thinks nothing Of cutting and
threshing COCO bushels Of wheat in day
with one of his machines. The grain
is not only cut and threshed the same
day, but sacked and piled. His yield
the present season is some 2S0 900 bush
els. The other three rentors also con-
tribute one-half of their product OF
wheat to the doctor. They aud the
doctor also employ an immense number
Of men, as well as an immense amount
of machinery, while all have numerous
barns capable of accommodating 500
horses, with blacksmith shops, carpen-
ter and harness shops, in which are EN-.
ployrd iirst-class artisans.

cry one of them, which may be caused
by disease of any organ OF tissue in the
whole body. And this accords perfect
~ with my experience. have seen
wcll-markcd cases of hollow horn, dag
nosed by men who, like Mr.. Prentiss,
thought they had the strongest grounds
for their belief, which on examination
proved to be, some of them, contagious
pcuro- pneumonia; others were impac-
ton of the third stomach; still others
were gastritis, or gastro-enteritis, and so
on through large part of the catalogue
of diseases. Really, if an animal loses
its appetite, and has horns alternately
hot and cold-symptoms which accom-
pany every serious disease-these are
considered sufficient indications for bor-
ing the horns, blowing salt and pepper
into them, elicing the tall, and inserting
another dose of salt and pepper.
Finally, he asks, "Now, will he please
tell us what to call the fact of the entire
decomposition of the pith of the horn in
the bovine tribeW Why, call it natur-
al absorption, of course, since it is iden-
teal in every respect with the absorb
ton of the pith of the fl ontal bones and
formation of the frontal sinucs-a pro-
cess obviously intended by nature to
tighten what would otherwise be heavy
and cumbersome parts.-[D. +. Sal.

In the virgin soils of the new states
and territories, no manure may be nee
essary. The faircst fruits shown at our
exhibitions are from these regions. But
in all the older states manure is as es-
sential for the best results in fruit grow
Ing as it is for grains and roots. As a
rule the orchard is neglected. 1t is Ia
ken for granted that the apple trees, af-
ter they are once planted and cultivated
for few years, will take care of them
selves. The land is sowed with grass
seed, and is expected to bear a crop of
apples and hay annually. Orchards are
common that have seen no fruit for q
dozen years. AS the result of many
years experience i'll growing pears and
apples, we think high cultivation is the
secret of success. OF course it is posi-
bic TO apply manure too freely, but the
danger does not lie at all in that dircc-
ton. As general manure, within the
reach of all farmers, there is nothing
better than stable or yard manure. In
Il sandy or gravelly loan, we should
compost the stable manure with three
or four times its bulk of swamp muck,
peat, head-lands, or some other good
absorbents. a dressing of twenty-five
cords to the acre, every other year, will
promote growth of wood and the for
nation of fruit buds. Ifthe ground be-
tween the trees is cropped with roots
vines, as may be done withprofit while
the trees are young, the compost may
be applied every year, and in larger
quantities. Ashes, lecched or unleech-
ed, are among the best and cheapest
manures for tho orchard and fruit yard.
A hundred bushels to the acre every
fifth year, with or without the compost,
will pay abundantly.

Large Growth of Corn.

The St. Johnsbury Caledonian prints
the following: "Last summer Hiram
Russell, of this town, planted piece of
land to common corn, expecting to cut
it up and use it for fodder. The rows
were put about two and half by two
feet, and when he hoed it, he did not
thin it at all, but let ii go thick. When
the time came for cutting it mp, he
found so much sound corn that he
thought he would husk il instead of
using it for fodder corn. He began
husking, and kept on husking until he
measured out seventy bushel baskets
full of sound corn. He then had the
land measured, and found there was
only quarter of an acre. If any one
has raised over two hundred and eighty
bushels of sound ears ofcorn to the acre,
let him speak. The land was rich.
Does not this indicate that the average
farmer thins his corn too much, or plants
too far apart!" asks the Caledonian.
We say, not necessarily. 1t may indi-
cate that the average farmer does not
put on enough manure. 1t may also in
dictate that he don't pant the right kind
of seed, ortill properly or sufficiently.
Thick planting alone will not insure a
large crop.
