he put his hand into his pocket for chew
of tobacco, when, as tits supposed, by a
sudden lurch Of the vehicle, he was thrown
out and instantly killed. The animal
started. finding itself uncontrolled, ran
down the hill some distance, when little
girl whose parents reside on the Shepherd
farm had the presence of mind to stop it
Imagine If you can, Miss Walkers condi-

A Unions smitten heart was heard to cry
Mercful God. we humbly pray Thee save
Earths honored magnate from bloody gravel
Scarce had the traitors bullet spent its force
Along its dark and murderous course,
Before a bleeding land in sorrow wept,
Robbed Of gem from its bosom swept.
A long and deep suspense succeeds this pain
Mems fervent prayers have proven vain!
Garnered by God, the hero died
Aside the shore of the Jersey tide.
Remembered by nations heart.
Forgotten ne'er shall be his lot!
ImmOrtaliZed his name shall be
Ever cherished on land and sea!
Liberty will mourn at the lisp of his name
Drawn to her knees in her tremor of shame.

An Augusta Farmers EXPERIENCE in
Farming in California.

Mi. Daniel Coiner, who left Augusta
in the Spring of 1867 for California, is in
the county OH his first visit home in four
teen years. He is very intelligent gen.
tleman and gives an interesting account
of how farming is carried On in his adopt
ed state. He owns and works a farm Of
six hundred acres in Santa Barbara coun-
ty some two hundred miles from San
Francisco. He says all the blowing is
done with gang plows, five or six plows to
the gang, drawn by from six to eight
horses. These ploWs go over the land
with a seeder in front and a harrow behind
| and finish up the whole work. On his
farm he sowed from sixty to seventy bush
| els of wheat in day. Two men can put
| the seed into as much as 500 acres. He
made this season $500 centals Ia Genital is
| 100 pounds) of wheat and LOGO centals OF
| barley. He made no corn. Laborers IN
| thaC state are all white and mostly native
always fair supply. The wages are high
/ "a man to drive team, and pillow gets $2o
| to $50 month and board. Harvest hands
| get $1.50 to $500 per day. Cooks are hard
to get and in harvest season are mainly
| Cinnamon who get So day tor their
work. They won't engage for long term
of service.
Harvesting is an easy thing with Califor-
MIA farmers as there is no rain to disturb
| them-rain only falling in the winter sea-
son They just cut the crop and stack It.
In cutting the crop headers are used and
the wheat never touches the ground after
it is cut. A header is put in the field
with four or FIVE horses behind it. and a
wagon runs by the side of it; the wheat is
cut, goes up a spout and over into the wa
gon which takes it to a stack. The thresh'
ing is done in the same rapid way. Last
year one machine threshed out 10, 200 CEN
tails for Mr.. Coiner in eleven days. 1t
costs Mr. G. $3.50 ton to market his
| wheat. ALI grain, beans, potatoes and
roots in California are sold by the pound.
Mr.. Coiner sold his wheat this year at
| ST. so per hundred pounds. One year. Mr.
Coiner says, there was only four inches of
rain during the whole winter. The crops
were very short that year bat the farmers
were recompensed by getting q cents
pound for what wheat they did raise.
