To the Public.

The minel lands" included in the foregoing procla
nation chiefly situated between Lake and
Montreal rver and Isle Royaie, in the northern pen
insna Michigan and rendered immensely valuable
by the exhauscss oil copper and other ores ound
therein.
considerable number of those mines have already been
discovered the ranges, within few miles oil Lake
Superior and from the geological character OF the county,
and the explorations already made, II cannot be doubted
that others equally, il valuable, will be found
throughout this whole mineral region"
In OF the mines worked, copper is found almost
and, in fact of the native copper and
yield greater per ccDtagc than any other discovered
in the world Silver is also found considerable guam
titles
All the necessary materials for the construction of fur
naces and fuel for smelling found in abundance the
immediate neighboIhood of the mineral
The climate in the winter, though cold does not inter-
the operations Of the mines fact, that
considered the favorable for their operations.
Tho proximity of these mineral lands TO the shore OF lake
Superior which several safe and excellent harbos
and the communication therefron, by the Sau Ste
Marie lakes Huron, Erie, &c furnish ready means OF
Transporting the products Of these lands the principal
markets Of the United States at very triting cost
Ii likewise appears from the reports this Office
that the agricultural lands OF lair quality producing
the usual culinary vegetables andgass in abundance and
when properly TILED, they have been found favorable for
grain crops also and for all these products iar price
| and good market will be found a the mines.
Tmber-such as white and yellow pine, sugar maple,
yellow birch, &c-s in many places, very abundant, and

Agricultural.

Thoughts on Agucmture.--That the
system of farming generally pursued in
this country, is susceptible of great inn
proyement, will not be denied by any man
of common intelligence. Agriculture is
far beyond most other arts and sciences at
ihe present y,and how this is so we arc at
loss to conceive, since it is the source from
which all classes and professions must de-
rive their support. The farmer is truly
the "bons and sinow" of the community
his occupation, if pursued with energy and
Skill gives life AMI motion to all other de-
partmenn of industry. Seeing, then, that
agriculture is the master wheel of our
whole political machuey-the founda-
ton and support Of our wealth and pros-
perity-how is this, that the occupation OF
the farmer has come to be looked upon by
man as a degrading, or less honorable than
the "profes5ions," or even the mechanical
pursuits This is a common and hurtiul
error among farmers inducing them to send
their sons to study profession or learn
trade, instead OF training them up to their
own calling, and endeayoring to elevate
that calling by bringing into its service
more of intelligence and science.
Let the farmers Of this country pursue
their business with increased energy and
skill, and let our young men be induced to
see that farming is science, which IN
yites them to bestow upon it the best pow
ers Of educated minds, and our profession
will no longer be held in disesteem; far
mors will become respected as men of high
intelligence, Of education and true science,
and their sons will be proud to follow the
occupation of their fathers.
Another great evil among farmers, and
one that bears heavily against the progress
Of improvement, is the spirit of specua-
ton which too generally prevails in this
country. Occasionally farmer is seen
who invests his surplus income in improve
mont OF his farm, thereby increasing its
productiveness and beauty, and afording
increased means of enjoyment to himself
and family but The great majority expend
all their means in the purchase of more
land than is useful to them Il oven incurring
large debts for this purpose, on which
heavy interest must be paid, with increas-
ed taxes and generally much trouble and
yeXation.

Interesting Agricultural Experience.
Some recent experiments in wheat and
Alur go to prove that both contain water,
and that the quantity is more in cold coun-
tries than in warm. In Alsace, from Is to
20 per cent. In England, from IA to II
per cent. In the United States, from II
to 1 per cent. This accounts for the fact
that the same weight Of Southern flour
yields more bread than the Northcrn.--
EngIish wheat yields l3 lbs. more to the
quarter than the Scotch Alabama flour,
II is said, yields 20 per ent,more than Gin
cinnatd according to the authority Of one
Of the most extensive London Bakers, abb
sorbes 8 Or 10 per cent. more into bread,
than the English. The warmer the coun.
try, the more is the water dried out of the
grain before it ripens, and hence, when
made into bread, it absorbs water again, and
IS therefore more valuable. Professor Beck
has written Report for the Patent Office,
~ which he shows that the presence Of
water units these articles for preservation.
The books ofa single Inspector in New
York city showed thatin l6l7 he inspect
ed 2i8,G70 barrels Of sour aud musty flour.
