California Lands,

There are 100000 acres of land in
California fit for cultivation, and not
over 100000 are in actual use for that
purpose, and not over 100000 are in
closed. Over 100000 acres are held
by land rings or individual monopolists
for speculative purposes, in tracts of
lbs, 900 to 100000 acres. This state of
things has long been felt to be a great
check to the prosperity of the State.
Under normal conditions men of small
means might be expected to flock in
large numbers to settle upon the rich
farming land, and healthy, active, and
enterprising agricultural communities
would arise; but this has been rendered
impossible by the refusal of the large
landowners to sell except at exorbitant
prices. The new constitution that is
now before the California people for
adoption seeks to remedy this evil by
providing that the taxation of lands
held in large uncultivated tracts shall
not be assessed, as heretofore, at the
nominal value of 30 cents to $3.50 per
acre, but that the same valuation shall
be placed upon them as upon the small
cultivated farms adjoining them. This
will be from $40 to $50 per acre, accord
ing to location, and will make the an
nual tax on one of these small king
doms 100000 or more. It is believed
that such assessments will soon cause
the monopohsts to sell their tracts for
what they viii fairly bring.

A Drunkard's Body After Death.


A poSt-nlorten1 examination of nearly
seventy persons who had died from the
excessive use of ardent spirits showed
the following facts:
1. Congestion of the scalp and of the
membranes of the brain, with much
serious (watery) efusion; the substance
of the brain white and firm, as if it had
lain in alcohol for one or two hours.
2. The lungs not always, but frequent
ly, congested or infamed.
3. The heart fabby, enlarged, di
lated, and loaded with fat on the
outside, the blood in it of eherry-red
color, and with no tendency to coagu-
late.
4. The stomach perfectly white, and
thickened in some cases; in others,
having patches of chronic infamma-
ton. In the worst cases the large por-
ton of the stomach covered with that
species of Inflammation which causes
the blood to be poured from the minute
veins.
5. The liver enlarged-in old drunk
ards weighing from six to twelve pounds
6. The omentum-a sort of apron
which Immediately covers the abdo-
men In front-lOaded with a gray,
slushy fat.
7. The kidneys enlarged, fabby, and
infltrated in numerous spots with a
whitish matter.
s. The small intestines filled will
bile and coated with tenacious mucus
8. The blood in a very fluid condition,
having but little fbrine, but much
albumen and fat.
10. The whole body, except the brain,
decomposing very rapidly.

A WHILE ago, hired man was srnok-

FEED FOB CHCKs.-Fin q bin with
corn meal, oat meal and middings,
each fifty pounds, and bran ten pounds;
add and thoroughly incorporate with
the lot three ounces bone meal and one
ounce best Cayenne pepper. Put pan
of thick milk on the stove till the whey
is formed and it is scalding hot; add
meal to make stiff batter, salt little,
and bake in a slow oven four hours. If
in setting nests you find clear eggs, add
two or three of them to the mixture be-
fore baking. IF you can afford it, add
eggs any way. This cake, wet with
either milk or water, or crumbled dry,
is the most economical feed that can be
given-economical not for price, but
because It gives the birds growth ma
terial In perfection and in a shape that
permits waste from neither loss nor
fomentation. Enough can be made at
once to last week. If sour milk is not
obtainable, make soup of few scraps
of meat boiled to rags; add potato par
ings, then add meal and bake as before.

FERTILITY OF DAIRY FARMs.-Much
nonsense is circulated in regard to the
rapid loss of fertility of dairy farms, by
reason of the carrying away of the
phosphates in the milk. Now 1000
pounds of milk contain about three to
four pounds of phosphates, of which
nearly the whole is phosphate of lime.
OF this less than half is phosphoric
acid. Five thousand pounds of milk,
therefore, contain but seven and one
half pounds of phosphoric acid, which
may be taken as the yearly consump-
ton, in this way, of each COW. As
wheat bran contains 90 per centum of
phosphoric acid, it needs only that
about $50 pounds of bran be fed to each
COW, yearly, to replace the draught upon
the soil. There are few dairy COWS that
are fed less than this quantity of either
bran or some food equivalent to it, and
it is pretty certain that very little, if
any, phosphoric acid is really taken from
the soil of dairy farms. On the con-
trary, to say nothing of the natural
supply in the soil, which slowly becomes
soluble, there is good reason to believe
that every well-kept dairy farm becomes
gradually richer in phosphates every

FARM AND PLANTATION.
American Agriculture.


The possibilities of American agri-
culture can best be appreciated by re-
viewing the facts that the area of arabic
lands in the United States exceeds
1,500,000,000 square miles, while the
area at present under cultivation is esti-
mated TO be 174,9O0,000 acres, or less
than 275,000 square miles. 1t is proba-
bic that the next census viii show a
valuation of farms exceeding
81, 0O0,000,000, and an annual
production of $1,000, 100000. The fact
that more then one-half of all our peO-
pie who are engaged in the ordinary
pursuits of life are directly employed in
agriculture is at once q sufficient
evidence of its universally and import
ance.
In the year 1873 there were 81 zoos, 900
acres in Indian corn, producing 1911
100000 bu shells; 80 ,208,0O0 in wheat,
WITH yield of 422, 100000 bushels; 13;-
10000 in oats, giving All 800, 900 bush
els; 100000 in barley, showing a crop
of 100000 bushels; 1,621 900 in rye,
with 25,800,000 bushels, and $4,000
acres in buckwheat, yielding product
of 1927, 900 bushels. Thus the total
cereal production for 1878 waJ 1884,
100000 bushels, raised on 100,476,000
acres, while in 1874 the total crops were
but 1,454, 10000 bushels; in 1876,
1,962,821 500, and in 1877, 2,178, 1874, 646
bushels. The future increase in the
farm productions of this country will
result largely from improved systems of
cultivation, as well as from extended
areas under the pillow. A system of
agriculture presents but little to be
proud of which averages to the acre over
the whole country yield of but twelve
bushels of wheat, less than twenty-seven
bushels of corn, and only twenty-eight
bushels of oats. Compared with what
modern agriculture is capable of in this
direction, it is not too much to affirm
that our farm crops, even on their
present area, may be doubled in guam
tity.-AmericG7 C2LltiUGtOT.

The Price OF Corn:

The following, from the Burlington
HGlUk-Eye, conveys a sound moral in a
merry way, and after being laughed at
may well be soberly pondered by far
mers and others who are slow to see
that the laws of trade work both
ways"
NO." the honest farmer remarked, in
tones of the deepest detection, "the big
crops don't do US a bit of good. What's
the useP Corn only 30 cents Every
body and everythings dead set agin the
farmer. Only 30 cents for corn. Why,
it won't pay our taxes, let alone buy US
clothes. 1t won't buy us enough salt to
put up barrel of pork. Corn only 30
centsI By jocks, it's a Twin, cold
blooded swindle on the farmer, that's
what it is. It amt worth raisin' corn
for such price as that. It's mean,
low robbery" Within the next ten days
that man had sold SO much more of his
corn than he had intended that he
found he had to buy corn to feed
through the winter with. The price
nearly knocked him down. "WhatP he
yelled, $50 cents for cornl Land alive
80 centsl What are you gi7in' us?
Why, don't want to buy your farm, I
only want some cornl Thirty cents for
cornI Why, believe there's nobody
left in this world but a set of graspin',
blood-suckin' old misers. Why, good
land, you don't want to be able to buy

Thirty cents for corn! Well, I'll let
my carriage-horses run on corn-stalks
all winter before I'll pay such an I'M
heard-of, outrageous price for corn as
that. Why, the country's flooded with
corn, and 80 cents bushel is blamed
robbery; and don't see how any man,
looking at the crop we've had, can have
the face to ask such price"
