N@Mr. ALLEN TAYLOR, farmer and horti-
culturlst, residing mile or SO north Of Fair
play, has been successful in growing the Marsh
Cranberry on dry land. His plants are only of
years growth, and have scarcely begun to
vine tlaey thrifty, and bear fruit already.
He also cgltivates the Black Mulberry to per-
lection, and thinks this fruit is perfectly adap-
ted to our climate and soil, in respect to har-
diness and fructility. Among the innumerable
varieties Of useful and ornamental trees grow
ing on his farm, all of which have been trans
planted, or have grown from the seed, of his
own planting, we noticed beautiful grove
of white pine, planted in rows. He says there
is no difficulty in growing this prince of ever
greens. 1t should be transplanted very early
in the spring, as the sap begins to flow as soon
as the frost leaves the ground. Mr.. TAYLoR's
fruit trees and groves of timber, the latter of
his own planting as we'll as the former, are sug-
gestiVe TO the prairie farmer of what may be
effected by a little labor bestowed understand
ingly at tue early starting of a farm. An A
merican paradise equal to any in Europe or A
STA, may be had on any of our prairies, in a
bout six years after date
We have since learned that Mr.. t. is Offer
ing his farm for sale and it is certainly worth
$500 or 1000 more on account of these fruit
trees and groves, which never cost him half
that amount in labor the pleasure Of the la
Dor was worth both those sums.

Price of x4ead from 1913 to 1853

There has been almost uniform rise
in the price of Lead, one year with an
other, for the last ten years. Previous
TO l843, the means for trans portation
were SO limited, that the price of Lead
in the mines bore no relative or fixed
value, as compared with eastern prices.
Boston was then the market that regu-
lated the price of lead, and Liverpool
regulated prices in Boston. Sometimes
the price of lead in the mines was only
quarter or half what it was in Bos-
ton; the st. Louis price was about a
third less than was paid at Dubuque or
Galena. Since l843, New York has be-
come the leading Lead mart for Amer
ica--perhaps for the world. From our
old files we compile the New York
and st. Louis prices Of lead for the ten
years preceding 1868 in the month of
Of AL,
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1853-08-24

III the winter and spring of the pres
ent year, owing to efforts made by hol-
ders to speculate on lead, the price went
up TO 1926 in New York, and mineral
raised to near $40 thousand in the
mines. We comet believe that lead
will rate much lower for years to come,
than it now does, for the universal rise
on labor and property will certainly car
ny the price Of Lead up with everything
else. Besides all, the California and
Australian gold mines have drawn off
much of the labor heretofore devoted to
lead mining, in Europe as we'll as in A.
merica. To replace this departed labor,
will require a long time in Europe,
while iii America, the ranks are alrea-
dy quite filed up by new recruits and
returned Californians.
We often think that company having
adequate means, by establishing them
selves at Galena, and by buying up and
storing the lead product of the mines for
year or two, might control at will all
lead markets in the universe. Such an
operation was evidently undertaken a:
New York last winter, but failed to
keep up the monopoly for want Of funds,
no doubt. Their success for a while
was complete, and similar operation
may be looked for again.
We set down the annual yield Of our
mines for coming years, at 100000
Of pounds. The annual shipments from
Galena alone have generally been about
100000 in prosperous years. Add
to this amount, the shipments from Po-
tosi, Dubuque, Cassrille and half a do
zen other points, ana you will find our
calculation does not miss the mark very
far. The aggregate product of all the
British mines, one year with another, as
we learn from late British Revie,U, is
only about 90,00o,000 pounds. The
yield in France and the German mines,
(these producing the next largest in Eu-
rope, is all consumed at home, and large
quantities of lead are exported from the
United States to make up deficits in
those countries. The product of the
Beetown mines is all shipped directly to
France we are told while some furna-
ces are carried on by German agents, by
whom the lead smelted by them is all
sent to Germany. OF other mines in
Europe, little can be said, since they
produce but little lead, as compared
with those we have named. The South
American and Mexican lead mines are
said TO be rich, but it will be long
while before they can be available, tc
bear in the markets.
From what we have said, with the
facts given, the mining pursuit must h
one of immense interest in years to come
The profits have increased year by yeaI
and are likely to keep on the upward
scale. We are in no danger of compe
tition from Europe, where labor is chea
per, and hence, cannot be injured by Ia
riff and money fluctuations, as far as on
great staple product is concerned
There may be collapse in the curren
cy, war, or any other commotion, com
mercial, civil or political, and lead vii
maintain uniform good market.

Rockville improvements,

itockfille, August 10Th, %.
M. Editor I'm your last issue you
published communication respecting
certain improvements in the rising VII
lage of Rockville. Your informant has
fallen into an inaccuracy in one of his i
tens. He says there is an intention to
build a Presbyterian Church. The
intention is to build Union Congrega-
tional Church, or an edifice for the uni
ted services Of two congregations, in the
German and English languages. The
funds are nearly all secured, and the
building will go up, without doubt, very
soon.
1t is hoped that this will be success
full effort to unite all the inhabitants in
the village, in one congregation instead
of having them divided into two or three
petty rival sects, as is teo often the
case, which prevents either of them from
doing anything effective. To accomplish
this, and to avoid every tendency to Sec
tarianism, it is designed to present, as
qualification for Church Communion,
such creed, as shall unite all Evangeli-
cal Christians; having nothing in it but
such as all may conscientiously subscribe
to, securing unity IN essentials, and non
conformity in non-essentials, either in
faith or order.
You, and the citizens in the neighbor-
hood especially interested, may Judge of
the liberality of the views of the proiec-
tors of this enterprise by the following
copies of Articles from the platform
cart. 3. Every member of the socie-
ty, or congregation, shall have a voice
and vote in the management of all secn-
lar matters pertaining to the building,
the maintenance of the ministry, and the
sustaining of religious worship. Thus

and members of any religious denomina-
ton of protesting Christians, or churches,
may be considered members of the seci-
ETY., or congregation, by becoming regu-
lar hearers, and subscribers to the soci-
cites funds, which shall also entitle them
to the professional services of either of
the clergymen," i.e. either German or

Mammoth wheat.

AND HOW TO RAISE IT.-That there
are giants as we'll in the vegetable as
in the animal nations, may be proven by
a specimen of many-headed wheat from
a single seed, now OH exhibition at our
office. There are ia stalks, each hav-
ing fully developed head-all the fam
lily Of one grain Of wheat, planted last
fall. Allowing each grain to yield 80
grains, Ga very low average,) there
would be about 1000 grains. In BUSH
Ell of wheat, weighing Ga lbs. there are
449, 900 grains. This is on the suppo-
sition that wheat is of the best quality ;
the average issaid to be $4,000 grains.
At this rate, 100 such stools of wheat
would yield bushel. This monster
growth was raised on Elk. Gov. Dew
ey's farm near Lancaster, and handed to
us by his father, who is considered one
of our first farmers. He is Of the be-
lief that too much wheat is commonly
sowed On the acre, and that more atten-
ton should be given to preparing the
soil.
Mr.. Austin Ransom, who farms
largely some five or six miles north of
Lancaster, gives it as his experience,
that one bushel of wheat to the acre,
sowed with q peck of oats, is an excel
ent methodot putting in fall wheat
The oats being an esculent of more Wig
|orous growth, rises and remains above
the wheat till killed down by trest; after
which it falls over and forms sufficient
covering to protect the wheat from the
rigors Of winter. There are various
ways suggested for protecting wheat
through winter, any of which seem rea-
sonable enough, but there is evidently
some sort of protection needed, especi-
ally Oh prairie lands. Perhaps thin
sowing with oats, or by covering the
field thinly with straw in mid-winter
would more than compensate for trou-
BILE.
1t farmers would make it o point to
furnish to their county newspaper office,
specimens Of extra fine products of their
raising, new kinds of seeds, and give
accounts, verbally or by writing, of the
various methods of raising grain, stock,
&C.. they would gain a great deal of
useful knowledge by such mutual ar
rangcment. Our soil here in the mines
differs from the soil elsewhere, and a
different method of putting in grain is
required from what is recommended in
agricultural papers. Our soil is stron-
ger-perhaps it cantains more perfect
proportions Of the manures required on
wheat, than any other in the United
States, and it will have to be studied
Experiments should be freely interchan-
ged and made known.
