[Reno Gazette. |

The development of the Pacific
Coast has taught the human race use
ful lessofs. II was deemed utterly
impossible, by the first arrivals, that
the Sacramento aud san Joaquin val
leys would ever produce wheat by the
millions OF tons. Men who ten years
ago bought places at sheriffs sale
that had ruined previous owners, are
now worth hundreds of thousands of
dollars. The difference in those val
leys is counted by hundreds OF mil
lions, and 1t IL all produced by the
difference IN their climate, between
what II is now and what it was twenty
years ago. IL il no theoretical fancy
that this change Is due entirely To cul-
tivAtion. Every spade full of earth
and every tree adds to the rainfall OF
the regIsn where these improvements
occur. Neither Is 1t an idle fancy to
suppose that Eevada's climate is be-
ing Immensely influenced bv the OPP
srations Of the husbandmsD and The
building of towns and railroads. Tue
destruction OF the mountain forests II
probably large factor also, AS 1t per-
mits the passage OF moisture that VAS
formerly extracted from the air by
Their cooling influences. It has long
bsen known that the grains sf wheat
and barley that fell from the loaded
wagons gvin ! tO the mines, and alight-
ing IN good soil, grew and bore gram
To perfection. IL is evident to all that
most OF our land would have pro-
duced tho best crops OF grain this
wear or last. or the year before, with
out irrigation. In Colusa county thaS
farmers have to plow deep and let
their land lie fallow every third year.
They are not certain then Of crops, as
The farmers would he here. Frank
Dickin raises barley in Winnie
muccs valley every year, and Holcome
and Bsntiz raise wheat un the Truckee
without irrigation. Mr.. Thompson
of Frsnklown, had - piece of land
last year that he could not get water
on aud II raised the best wheat he had.
With wheat selling here al two cents
per pound aud Over, and with rate
Of i've dollars per ton To Port Costa,
there IL . fortune In every section Of
land that will grow 1t. II IL can be
demonstrated that this can be gener-
ally done. Reno has q better location
for q town than Sacramento for she
has ten miles of tributary country 10
the latter's one, her land is of better
average. and her territory cannot be
taken from her by any rival. Every
farmer of this country should do hls
best to test the matter, and II IL IL
fact, let 1t be known 10 the world.

Awatch Made to be Pounded.

When a visitor to the Office of the
American Bank Note Company sat down
to talk to Mr.. Lee, that gentleman put a
piece of white paper under a stamp.
pounded on it, and laid the paper aside.
When the visitor arose to go away, Mr..
Lee put the paper under the stamp
again, and pounded it once more. 'Yon
talked eight minutes said he; 'tthat
wasn't bad" He showed the piece of
paper to the caller, who saw upon it two
printed clock dials. One showed the
hands at four minutes to O'Clock, the
other showed them at four minutes past
4 o'clock. ssWe keep that stamp he

The Philosophy of Farming.

The philosophy of good farming con-
sists in strict economy in everything
connected with the farm or its business.
glect, and everything should be put to
good use. Instead of cropping land con
tinuously without manure or rest, it
ought to have both. Corn stalks ought
to be made into feed or manure, and not
to be left to waste away on the field.
Straw ought not to be burned; it makes
good feed and good manure. Manure
ought to be carefully applied the soil we
intend to cultivate, and not left to dry
and be blown away by the wind. Feed
ought to be preserved in good condition.
Stock should never be fed on mhsty or
mouldy food. Fences, buildings, and
utensils ought to be kept in good eondi-
ton. Whenever rent or decay appears
give it timely care.
But in another direction our philoso-
ply opens up vast field where most OF
the secrets of successful farming lie,
There is no use cpltIvating ten acres
if we can make five produce as much and
as good as ten. There is less profit in
clearing ten or fifteen acres than if We
clear fifteen or twenty II ten-acre
field well cultivated, and snanured will
produce more than twenty tacres carless
ly cultivated, it is better to work
the smaller field If a three-year old
steer is more profitable in market than
a load of corn, it is better to put the corn
into the steer. If fallow land produces
better crops than that from which crop
has Just been removed it is better to fallow
land. If good colts, calves lambs and
pigs, are worth more than inferior ones,
they are the best ones to raise. If stock
will keep better, healthier and cheaper
when well protected by shelter, then
shelter pays If one acre of land prop
erly managed, will produce more milk,
butter and meat than FIVE acres without
care, the proper culture is the best.
True farming is science, and its
philosophy is a study. The good farm
er is the best informed man living, on
natters which lie at the bottom Of all
material prosperity, and when he gets
his business boiled down to a point
where he makes the best use of every
thing he has; when he can make more
money and live better on ten acres of
land than many DO on larger farms, it
is evident that he has studied the phil
osophy of farming with profit.-Kansas

Economy In The Family.

A man must ask his wife's permission
ii he wishes to become rich. He must
have his wife's aid, if he wishes to prac.
tise those economies in the family which
may lay the foundation of his subsequent
wealth The New York Christian Ad-
yOcate makes the following suggestions
to young men with families to sup
port:
A hundred dollars year saved in rent
is worth trouble, and may become the
foundation of comfort at time when it
is needed.
He who saves one hundred dollars a
year on his rent is simply being paid
that much for the little inconvenience
he may have to endure.
Solid and plain furniture, with the
ornaments such as wifes taste can make
a very little expense, should be obtained
in distinction from numbering up the
house with expensive articles.
Every article Of furniture that is not
necessary in a room diminishes its size
and air capacity, and collects dust and
makes work.
Economy can be practiced upon the
table, by the cooperation of husband
and wife, so as to make a difference OF
one-half in the expenses.
Dainties, preserves, fruits in advance
Of the season, too much meat, excess
and profusion of all kinds, takes money.
Being in the habit, some years since
Of visiting young family whose table
always had everything that was needed
and nothing more, but with freshness
aud and lynn hot
the young man had very small income,
| asked him what his table expenses per
annum amounted to.
Said he, guess" I put them at
seven hundred dollars, which | thought
was very low for the city in which he
lived, and the way in which he appeared
to live.
His reply was Last year my expen-
ses were four hpadred and eighty dollars
for the table
"How do you do it" Said I.
He replied, "My wife and apply the
same thought and study to our purchases
for the table that business man applies
to the purchase of the goods that he
deals in, and expects to make living
FROM"
This illustration is drawn from the
| life of man whose income was perhaps
one thousand eight hundred dollars per
year, and who lived in a quite expensive
part of large city.
The same principle can be applied
whether the income be more or less.
What was said upon the subject of
clothes under the former head can here
be applied to the whole household.
Presents and extras need to be narrow
ly watched. Superfuous gifts to children,
expenditures for candy, and for trips
that do not give pleasure in proportion
to their cost, are leaks which keep many
well-meaning families poor.

Stock Raising in Mississippi.

Natchez Democrat.
We look upon the evident disposition
in many sections Of the State to pay at
tention TO the improvement Of stock as
one of the hopeful indications of an ad-
yancing prosperity in Mississippi. The
dairy farm Of Col. Montgomery near
StarkvilIe has already assumed immense
proportions and his example is being
successfully followed by many other en-
terprising gentlemen in other portions OF
the State. Probably the little Jerseys
are the greatest fayorites with major
ity of those who devote their attention
to the breeding of fancy stock, and the
production of tie sweetest butter. These
docile little animals whilst not the larg-
est mixers, are probably the best butter
producing cattle, though if our memory
is not at fault, the largest butter record,
twenty-nine pounds in seven days, has
been made by a Friesian or Holstein
COW.
During the session of the Press Con-
yention, Col. Hemingway and Judge
Cooper and Capt Fred Wolfe brought out
for exhibition a portion of their herds,
among which were some beautiful speci-
mems both Of the Jerseys and the Erie
SLAMS, and Col. Jas. Stewart showed us
in his yard two of the prettiest Jersey
heifers we have ever seen. We were
told that that Col. Stewart had sold enc
of these to a gentlemen in Wilkinson,
for six hundred and fifty dollars, and
that he is now willing to pay the pur-
chaser one hundred dollars to rue the
bargain.
The Friesians shown US by Col. Hem
ingway and Capt. Wolfe, were very fine
specimens. They have the advantage
over the Jerseys of combining size with
their fine milking quantities. They are
consequently better for beef, and make
larger oxen. Capt Wolfe has quite an
extensive dairy. He informed us that
he made engagements the year round
for butter at thirty cents a pound in
Jackson.
At the table of a friend we were struck
with the. appearance as well as the flavor
of what we really supposed to be re-
markably fine leg of mutton, and could
not refrain from making a remark in re-
gard to its superior excellence. The leg
was large, very fat and was entirely free
from the sleepy taste so common to
much of the mutton bought in the mar
kets. We were surprised when our
friend told us that we were not eating
mutton, but the leg was one of an An
CORA goat. These animals are easily
raised, aud if they could be kept out of
the owners fields or those of his neigh
bors', they would be valuable stock.
How long will it be before our farmers
in Adams county turn their attention to
these important adjuncts of the farm
and make fine stock raising q part of
farm profit? How long before our mar
ket is supplied with the fine rich yellow
butter of the Jerseys, the Aryshires or
Friesians, and our people no longer COM
PEELED to consume at as high prices the
Oleomargarine and fatty compounds Of
the West?

PiIOoarpine for Deafness.

For all recent cases Of deafness due to
labyrinthine disturbances, whatever the
primary cause may have been. Politzer
tries the simultaneous injection Of two
per cent solution of the muriate of pill
ocarpine. He injects four drops at
first, and gradually increases the dose
to ten drops daily. He gets fairly good
results in about one-haf of the cases. /
have seen three cases of persons totally
deaf who, after being treated in this
way, could hear and understand loud
speech spoken at the distance of few
inches from the ear; and Politzer has had
one case of perfect recovery of the hearing
after it had been absent for three years.
and several other very satisfactory results
following the use of this drug. He Is
about to publish the results of his ex-
periments with the history of some Of
the eases. It is not known how piloc-
arpine acts il these cases, but the benefit
derived from its use is certainly great iu
some Of them.-Berlin Med. and Surg.

To hearts that lie back of eyes that are
