Tall Farming in California.
We Etoppctl at "Knight's Landing,"
ami called on Mr. Ilectl. Wc wero
tolJ that ho was buny in tho field.
Thero wo found him, in i two-thousand
aero lot, superintending his force of
thirty njen, his stenni engine, his head
ers, wagons, mules, thresher and sepa
rator, all of which were working har
moniously, together, gathering in the
crop ; and this was a small outfit com
pared with that of Mr. lggs, at Prince
ton, with whom wo passed two days,
cntortaitiod most agrouuhly by hu fam
ily, in a princely farmer's mansion.
Wo accompanied him to his six-thousand-acre
field, nnd there saw the
machinery niultipli m', as 100 acre's
each day were harvested, and the
stream of wheat rolled into its bags at
tho r.ito of twelve bushels per mi mile.
Not contented with this lilllo farming,
Mr. Boggs gives his tittcntioii to rais
ing some of the finest horses in the
State. About 20 of them wo .saw
groomed in tho f laMes, and there were
droves of nioro common horses ami
mules frolicking tho thousand-acre
lawn. Mr. Boggs owus 100,000 acres
in California, and 50,000 in Oregon.
Most of it ii pasturage, for ho raises
not nioro that 150,000 bushels of wheat.
Ho has a few thousaud cattle, he
could not recollect the exact number,
nor could he tell if his sheep would
count more than 40,000, but he knew
they wero not below that figuro. They
aro Bhcared twice in tho year, averag
ing eight pounds of wool each, and
netting, clear of all expenses, some
thing moro than ono dollar a head.
Were they not thinned out for tho
market they would double themselves
overy two years, aud 20,000 being an
nually sold at ono dollar a head, there
is a total income of $00,000. Here is
model California farmer a Slate
Senator, honored by his fellow-citizens
with tho Directorship ot various pub
c institutions who catno into bacre-
niento thirty -years ago a barefooted
boy, and who modestly says that he
las grown rich because ho could not
help it. We have sojourned with no
bility in their castles, and have been
accustomed to tho etiquette of the

At Par.
The other day old Mr. Middlerib
stopped at. a grocery and bought some
onions, giving tho grocer a $2 bill.
Among tho chango handed back to tho
customer an old 81 bill. It had been
landed iu that morning for keroscno
oil, and thero was just a dash of oil on
it, that had been spilled in tho morn
ing. Ihen tho tn'ocer hud laid it down
ou a pile of codfish while ho fixed the
tho stopper ni the oil-can. Ihen lie
had it on his fingers while he cut off a
couple of pieces of cheese, aud the
cheeso on the bill struggled with the
cod libit and kerosene for pro-cininenco.
Then it got a little touch of mackerel,
and a little tiucturo of ttale egg on it,
