The ordinary plan of drawing the steer down to the block, and striking them n the head with an axe, is too slow for the wholesale butchery carried on here. About one dozen head are driven into a small pen, jnst sufficiently lurge to hold that number closely packed, and a gate forced to be. hind them. This bed has an open slat platform across the top of it, upon which two men are stationed with poles with sharp pointed knives fixed on the end of them. With a rapidity acquired by long practice, they plunge their spears into the necks of the affrighted and struggling ani mals, cutting the jugular vein, and each 1 successively falls as if struck down with an axe. The blood spurts out in streams as if from a dozen fountains, and in less than a minute the whole pen full aro down quivering in the throes of death, and cov. ered with blood. The door of the pen leading into the rendering room is theu thrown open, the animals drawn out in succession, a knife rapidly splits the skin around the neck and down the stomach. A rope is attached to the upper part of the bide by a clamp, to the other end of which is a mule, which leisurely walks off down the yard carrying the skin of the animal with him, and leaving the carcass still quivering with animal life. A tackle hoists the body up to a level with the month of one of the immense cauldrons, and in less time than we have taken to describe the process, it is in the seething and boiling mass. There are four or five of these cauldrons, each large enough to hold a dozen beeves, and they are kept constantly going during the killing season. The tallow is drawn off into largo hogs heads, and the remains of these great soup kettles are carted out on to what is called the " hash pilo," consisting of bones,bbrns, and the animal matter from which all the fatty substance has been extracted. California Orange Groves. A correspondent writing from Los An gclossays: " The . orange groves are a magnificent sight to behold just now, la den as they are with their golden burdens golden in seeming and golden in reality. The harvest is just commencing, and large quantities are daily arriving at the depot to be shipped to San Francisco and else where. One dealer of San Gabriel sold his orange crop for $ 30 per thousand. His orange grove covers five aoreg and contains 000 trees. Estimating these at 1,000 orangos each, the crop is worth $15,000. Three thousand dollars an acre is a pretty good return for their cultivation, and Near ly all clear profit, for the crop was sold on the trees. One acre in Southern California can be made to yield as great a clear profit by semi-tropical nut and fruit culture as twenty acres or fifty acres in the Eastern states devoted to ordinary kinds of farm ing. "When one looks at the loads of this luscious fruit daily coming into town, and thinks of the immense profit they must yield to their owners, he cannot help but wish he had como here some twelve or fourteen years t ooner and gone into the orange business." Tea Growing In Georgia. Mrs. R. J. Screven, of Liberty county, has sent to the editor of the Albany, Qa., Newt a package of black tea of her own ' raising and curing. In her letter she de scribes the mode of manipulating and dry ing the loaves, and how to raise and pro tect the plants, and says that the tea plant grows beautifully as. high up as Athens, Ga., and is more sensitive to heat than to cold. She says that a grove of tea plants once started will last a lifetime, aild after the roots are well established in the ground the plants require no more attention than any of our fruit trees or garden shrubs.

The Louisiana Sugar Crop. Advices from Hew Orleans states that for many years past the prospects for a large sugar crop hare not been so good at this seuson of the year. The average in Louisiana will this season be the largest in twelv years, andlgives promise of a largo crop of sugar.
