dressing of ashes," and cases are contin-
ually spoken of where the effects are sp-
parent after thirty or forty years. This is
not surprising, when the action Of potash
in the soil is considered. Much error is
taught in this respect. Potash is held by
the soil very firmly and 30 is phosphoric
acid, and both of these are the principal
fertilizing elements of wood ashes. Dr.
Lawes states that potash and phosphoric
acid remain in the soil for at least thirty
years, and an application of these fertil-
izers made thirty years ago at Rothamstead
is still recognized by its effects upon the
crops. Potash is one of the most neces.
sary ingredients of the soil for
plant food. 1t is at the same time
very abundant in the soil, but unfortu-
nately is held in its combination with
silica, in the form of silicate, in an insol-
uble and inert condition, and therefore it
is that an application OF potash, in what
ever form it may be, to the soil has such
remarkably favorable results. It is be-
cause of their effects uppn the soil in rem
dering the potash available by dissolving
the silicate that lime, salt, chloride of pot
ash, and perhaps gypsum, or the sulphuric
acid released from this in its decomposi-
tion, are so beneficially used as fertilizers,
and it is this effect, also exerted by the
atmosphere and the weather upon the sill.
Gates IN the soil, that makes fall plowing,
isllowing and cultivation of so much use.
The abundance of potash that exists in the
soil may be realized by considering the
proportions of it which go to make up the
following common rocks and miner.
ais which enter into the composition
of rocks. Mica, the glistening, scaly
substance that is so abundant in almost
every soil, and in great many rocks, con-
tains per cent. of potash feldspar; the
flesh color and reddish rock which is 80
often associated with quartz in granite,
gneiss, mica states, porphyry, and basalt,
and is often found in masses and veins
alone, contains no less than II per cent. of
potash, and nearly all the states contain
considerable portion. As these rocks form
more or less of nearly all soils, clays, loans,
gravels and sands, potash is therefore ex-
ceedingly abundant; but, as we have said.
it is SO locked up as to be only slowly avail
able. But as it becomes available it is held
very firmly in the SOIL and is never carried
off by the drainage. A farmer can never,
therefore, go wrong in literally supplying
his soil with potash. 1.-THE Dairy.

RAPID Work The Susanville CORE.
spondeut of the Reno Gazette tells the
following story
That Susanville possesses many advan-
tages, no one who has visited this pretty
town will deny. Among these advantages
is the facility with which business is exc.
cuted here, especially in the line of divorce
and matrimony. To illustrate the above,
cite case that came off here last Friday
in the Superior Court. Until that day,
one w. T. Bacon was possessed of a wife
who had borne him two children, the
youngest being few months old. His
residence was at place called High Rock.
Sometime last February, little unpleas-
antness occurred, which W. T. did not
relish. Il seems that one j. B. Roberts,
being smitten with the charms of the
female side of Bacon, and being qualified,
committed adultery with the male Bacon's
wife. Last Friday W. T. Bacon applied
for divorce from his wife, on the ground
of adultery. The woman waived all forms
OF law, and went to trial Immediately.
The man-Roberts-came forward and
swore to the fact of his committing the
adultery, and the divorce was Immediately
granted. This was sometime in the after
noon. In the evening, between 7 and S
o'clock, J. b Roberts and Mrs. Bacon
were united IN marriage, the ex-husbsnd
being present at the ceremony, keeping
the baby quiet during the exercises. TAX
ing it as whole, it was the largest Bacon
transaction here during the week, and
causes considerable comment on change.

NJ. L. Sweet, of Grand Rapids, Mich.
has imported y head of fine cattle from
the Netherlands. They are at present in

The Los Angeles Erpres8 says: "a big
merino ram, weighing 2l5 pounds, passed
through here yesterday by Wells, Fargo &
! Co.'s express, from Santa Barbara, en- route
East, where some level-headed breeder
wishes to improve his flock by an infusion
of our fine blood"
During the month of October, 1882, l75,.
$40 cattle were received In Chicago. In
1853 this number was closely approached
more than one month, but in the month Of
August lS4 666 cattle were received, ex.
elusive OF calves-the heaviest receipts on
record during one month.
Pampered stock, fitted up for breeding
purposes, is not what ia wanted. A fat
animal is useful at fair and stock show, in
showing what is required by the butcher,
and the excellence attained by scientific
breeding. Cattle, Sheep swine, and horses
also, in their highest form, are the results
OF scientific breeding But for breeding
purposes petted and pampered animals
should be discarded Prairie Farmer.
A few years since a man purchased
tract of land on the sandhills of the Balsa
de Chemisal Rancho and began farming.
His farming was poorly done, and the
ground seldom yielded enough TO pay for
the labor of planting. Failing to pay for
his land, he was compelled to sell to an.
other, who plowed the land deep, culti-
waited it well in other respects, and this
year has harvested 30 Sacks or go bushels,
of barley per acre from it.-[SAn Luis
Obispo Tribune.
Where size and weight are the standards
by which animals are judged, we do not
wonder that Englishmen, and Canadians
following the English example, take great
pains to prepare their animals for the fair.
A friend who visited noted sheep.raiser
in Canada, few years ago, gave rs an
amusing account of the manner In which
the Cotswolds were pampered for days be,
fore the exhibition. The animals were fed
with the usual foods frequently and abund.
antly, but there were beds of lettuce and
other attractive plants which had been
provided for the purpose, and the animals
were tempted with these, one more lettuce
leaf being regarded as great gain if the
animal could be tempted to eat it. a sys.
tenn of persistent stufIing was followed for
number of days, and when the animals
started for the fair an abundant supply OF
vegetable delicacies was sent with them.
So long as mere size and weight are con-
sidered in awarding prizes, exhibitors
can not be blamed for meeting
the requirements. The most important
reforms needed in the management of our
fairs are First, greater care in making up
the schedules of premiums and second,
greater care in the selection of the judges
who will award the prizes. American Ag.

califor ala Canada Barley.

As al evidence of what our California
soils cAB DO, the Cali GGsette chronicles
quite remarkable incident relative to
barley raised and cultivated in the vicinity
of Gait, John Mcfarland, an extensive
farmer Of that place, it says, harvested
some barley on his ranch northwest of
town about the 9th OF last May. A por.
tion Of the new seed was shipped to Canada
before June lst, and previous to the 18th
the same was sowed in Aberfoyle, Ontario.
Now news comes hither that the barley
was harvested few days since, and that
over thirty bushels were realized TO the
acre. The yield of the first crop here
was over thirty five bushels to the acre.
Many OF our California ranchers will be
surprised at this experiment, while the
Canada farmer will be doubly So California
sgriculturists are the most progressive the
world affords, and with our admirable
climate and productiveness of soil, the best
advantages 70 be found anywhere for
scientific farming present themselves on
the Pacific Slope, and there is no telling
where wonders will cease. The Canadian
press Is wonder-struck on this barley-rais-
ing experiment between California and
their country, and devote several columns
in astonishing the people of Canada on the
progressiveness Of the age. Less than two
decades ago fully six months elapsed In
the transportation of even single sack of
-four or side of bacon across the plains.
In this short period of time it has come
to pass that barley sown in December,
1882, in the vicinity of Gait, was
harvested by May 9th OF this year.

the plains in early days with oxen after six
or seven months of weary travel, new

Of mud holes in the winter, and an eyesore

think this matter too insignificant to talk

they say "cuss words" every time they

the Objectionable feature of his action. No
doubt tho Free Press does not approve Of
the action Of the six Republicans who, by
their desertion of the caucus nominees of
their party, gave Mr.. Lemma and his four
companions the opportunity to be SO mag
unanimous to the Republican machine at
the expense of their own party; but the &C
ton of these six is not nearly so objectiona-
bic from Republican stand point as is
that of the five Democrats. The six Re-
pubicans did not desert their party for the
express purpose Of giving the opposing
party success, as did Mr. Lemma and
his companions; on the contrary, they
knew that their desertion would not have
this result. If Republicans, by reason of
the desertion OF some of their more scrup-
ulous members, could not run the senate ac-
cordin8 to the plans Of the machine, and
were retarding the public bushes in their
determined efforts to carry out their odious
plans, the blame for such neglect of public
business rested upon their own shoulders
and none other In view of the fact that
Mr.. Lemma and his companions gored the
Democratic bull and gave the Republican
animal the blue ribbon it would be sur.
prising indeed if Barton should see any
thing but unaduterated virtue in it. Had
it resulted otherwise, it would have been
otherwise.

prop rty and branches. We are informed
that the first report Of the managers of

$10,500,0O0 is in bonds bearing FIVE per

annual interest charge from the year 1875,
when the foreclosure proceedings as to
this property were commenced, is upwards
Of s350,000 per annum.

to be equal to those of the Illinois

is in exceptionally good condition, having
paid off recently $2,50O,0OO of Its debt
