with berries are til for nse. Tbey kill
on,e gane, such as deer, antelope and
rabbits, but are afraid of the bears (black,
cinnamon, and grizzly) which are plenty
on some of our mountains. Their bake
houses are holes dug in tbe grouud, and
covered something like our ovens. It is
said their sick are put into these holes
when heated, and after sweating them
profusely they then treat them to a cold
bath !
There are about two thousand of these
Indians in Northern California and Sou
thern Oregon enough to claim tbe atten
tion of the General Government which
should enact laws for their benefit as well
as for that of the whites. As it is, it is
nothing uncommon fur them to kill one
of our men when cangbt alone, or for one
of them to be dropped when in the same
exposed condition. A short time ago,
they came iuto town, and demauded a
whitc or "Huston" nun, who, they said,

Cultivation of Cora.
As tbe farmer will soon be called npon
to prepare for corn plantiog and culiiva
tion, a word or two on the suljecf, based
j upon practical experience, may not prove
uninteresting to some of jour readers.
i Jly plan is aa follows: I plow the
ground in tbe fall to tbe di'pth of six or
ejM,t inches. I then prepare a rich com-
- post of bog manure and good loain
In

way, aud a shovel full of the compost al

By this simple method, I bave incrcas- j

to two causes. First, tbe deep plowing

tbe soil : but that time has passed away,
and to a tnorougu
id to a thorough agriculturist the roller
is almost as indispensable as the plow.
The first use for the roller in tbe spring
of the year, is to smooth down the ine-
qualities of tbe mowing ground, and settle
; the earth around the grass roots which have
been loosened by the frosts. All mowing

Tbe oats ground should be rolled direct

an advance to tbe crop, and greatly fa-
cilitates the harvesting, particularly if the ;

In preparing the ground for wheat, tho
roller should be used repeatedly, or so long

Grafting Wax.
This being the season for grafting, we
publish, for tbe bent fit of fruit-growers,
the old receipt for making grafting wax,
at the same time adding a new receipt rec
ommended by a prominent agricultural
journal.
The old standard grafting wax is made
as follows : "Three parts rosin, three parts
beeswax and two parts beef tallow. These
' '
are all melted together, and tho mixture
is usually applied with a painter's small
brush, or a wooden blade. It is frequent
ly worked up like shoemaker's wax by be
ing softened with a little warm water, and
applied with the band. Some also dip
strips of cotton cloth, an inch or an inch
and a half wide, into the hot wax, strip-
ping it through between two pieces i of j
WOOU IUU nP'Jlug siuauu .uu giiait.
We prefer the first-named process.
Tbe new grafting wax referred to, is
made and applied as follows : "Melt two
ounces of rosin slowly so as to make it
throw off its spirit of turpentine. When
it becomes perfectly clear, add a little less
tban an ounee alcohol, mix well, and at
nnee eork ticbt in a bottle. Add alcohol
afterwards to make it a medium liquid,
and apply with a small brush or wooden
blade. Like the foregoing, it is said to
form an air-tight covering, which is the
object aimed at by all applicants in graft
ing."
The perfect covering for grafts is that
which will always adhere to tbe stock, and
will not crack in tbe cold, in the high
winds of spring, or run in the hot sans of
summer.
