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.

Fever & Ague Powders
PERMANENT CCRE OF CHILLS AND FE
VER, DUMB AGUE, OR ANY FORM
OF INTERMITTENT FEVER I
The Greatest Discovery of the Age I
rpiIERE are no diseases so debilitating In
X their effects upon the constitution as the
above, and noue more dilllcult to euro by the
usual modes of practice. The Fever and Ague
Powders will effect a cure in cases of the long
est standing, as well as prove a preventive In
the formlne stacos of disease. Belnz nurelv
Vegetablo, they act with certainty on the dis-
oase, totally eradicating 11 irom the system,
and preventing a return at any future period.
Why waste your money and health in trying
every medicine you hear of, when Thompson's
Fever and Ague Powders have never failed to
cure the Chills In any case.
REASONS WHY TIIEY ONLY SHOULD BE
USED:
Their Reputation it i'etablithed. Thousands
of testimonials have been received, showing
that these Powders have performed miracles in
curing cases of long standing, many of them
considered hopeless.
There ii no Kith in Takina Them. Thev
contain nothing Injurious, and, therefore, cause
none of those lingering diseases so' often the re
sult of the mauy nostrums of the day. Physi
cians recommend them as far superior to Qui
nine, or any other known rcmedy.for thev leave
the system In a healthy state, and the patient
ucyona tno probability ot a relapse.
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS. The
genuine are put up Iu square tin boxes, with
"Thompson's Fever and Ague Powders"
stamped on tho lid, and the signature of
"Thompson & Crawford," on the wrapper.
No others can possibly be genuine.
