Tue GoLD FIELDS OF THE WoRLp.-Gold
abe unds, to greater or less extent, in almost
every country 1t has been found in small guam
titles in Spain, Portugal, Sweden, the Gernianic
States, Turkey and even in England. The pro-
duct OF the Russian gold mines is from fifteen to
twenty millions of dollars annually. Besides
Australia. gold is found in China NIalaeca, japan,
Borneo, New Guinea and New Zealand. 1t has
also been discovered in considerable quantities in
and about the Chaudiere river, in Lower Canada.
The eastern gold region Of the United States is
considered as beginning in Virginia extending
through North Carolina along the northern part
OF South Carolina. and thence northwesterly into
Alabama, terminating in. tennessee The dig
gings are supposed to be pretty weH worked out
although productive at times. In 1913 81. 200 600
was dug from the gold mines OF Virginia The
west coast of America; both north and south of
the equator, is perhaps the region having the
greatest number of gold deposits The precious
metal is found in considerable quantities in all the
South American States. Gold is procured also
from various parts of Africa, to the amount pro-
baby of S2,500,000 yearly. 1t is estimated that
the total yield of gold during the year 1853 was
$3.50, 100000; and i. is supposed that the whole
stock of gold and silver bullion now in circulation
is twenty-five hundred millions Of dollars

CoTToN-The heaviness which prevailed in our
market at the close of cur last weekly review
continued on Saturday and the sales were confined
to 5000 bales, at very irregular prices On Nom
day the advices by the Arahia, the steamer of the

ally considered untavorahle for Cotton, BreadstuiIs
having still further advanced, and the prospect of
avoiding general war in Europe being nearly
hopeless. Influenced by these advices. strength

the consequent difficulty of ellecting negotiations

in the sale of 14O00 bales. the market acquiring
more regularity, without any quctable advance
To-day the demand continued and 1000 bales

WEAR AND TEAR-Under the head of Wear
and Tear of Bank Notes,n the Illinois Regtste.
spins out the following:
The State Bark OF Indiana recently addressed
circulars to the various banks of the country. to
ascertain, near as possible, the gain to banks
Of ssue by the loss of circulating notes through
series fyears- No very satisfactory returns were
mace. but in two instances they elected the fol-
lowing facts: The CatskIll Bank, in thirty years,
with average circulation of 100000, gained
S15,000 as this amount has not been returned in
ten years. The Merchants Bank. of Baltimore,
in forty-seven years. with circulation ranging
from 100000, to S600000, averages about S42S.-
900. Bills issued between the years 1906 and
1899, have now outstanding, after lapse of at
least ten years, S27. 100, being an annual average
of 500. The large average, however, was caused
by the loss at one time of $4,000 in notes.
To this we would add that the Mechanics and
Farmers Bank. of Albany, has made by swear
and tearn within the last fifteen years, over $780,
600. BY the sinking of steamer on Lake Erie,
in 1889 it made $4,000 in less than fifty minutes.

Hints to Stock Raisers-Mix occasionally
one part of salt with four or FIVE of wood ashes
and give it to poor stock of all kinds during
summer and winter. Green and fermentable
food produces fatulency, and this mixture af-
fords remedy. 1t is said that il horses are
literally supplied with salt and clean wood
ashes, they will neither be troubled with bolts
nor cholic.-lConpecticut Valley Farmer.
Every husbandman should carefully read and
and digest matters connected with his business:
his success being dependent upon full knowl-
edge Of its principles and details as in that Of
the lawyer, or physician, with knowledge Of
the science of law or physic.
Wheat rye, oats and barley, should never fol-
low each other in course of rotation; there
should always be an intervening hoe-crop be-
tween them.
All lands OH which clover, or the other grass.
es are grown, must either have lime in them
naturally, or that mineral must be artifcially
supplied. 1t matters but little whether it be
supplied in the form of stone lime, oyster lime
or mari. .r,.

AGRICULTURAL.

SMALL FARMs.-Many of our farmers are so
situated that they are unable to hire much labor,
apply much manure, or expend much capital
on their land. They see their neighbors putting
in a large number Of acres, and they do the
same. They run over the land. They half
work it. They get small crops, the products of
which is almost eaten up by the expense; and
instead of growing richer they either remain,
year after year, as they are or become poorer
Will such listen to brother farmer, who has
been led to work his own way and gain expert
ence for himself? Your object is to make a
good living off your farm. You ought to re-
ceive:
lst A good days wages for fair days work,
and little over for your management, all the
year round.
I'd. Ten per cent. interest on what your farm
has cost you; and also on your stock and imple
ments; for you could get this for your money if
it was loaned out.
Sd. You should have Ten per cent. more for
wear and tear, to cover chance of loss, and death
of stock, besides keeping up your fences and
buildings
4th. You should have your living l.. c. your
eating, lodging, and washing.
5th You should have profit besides these,
or something remaining when all these expen-
ses are paid. We suppose that you hire no Ia
Dor, or otherwise the wages of your hired man
must be paid also. Unless you get all this
farming is not as good business to you as it
ought to be. You will say you never got any
thing like it. Then it is full time that you STOP
and think awhile. Your present mode of farm
ing is not lucrative. as it the right mode ?"-
These are the questions which you should
plainly ask youself We think there is bette
plan. A farmer is q manufact urer of grain
and meat The soil is the mill. The team is
the motive power. Do you give the mill and
team more to do than they can accomplish
properly? On an average it cost ten dollars an
acre to cultivate our usual crops-from plough
ing to selling, including interest on land; and in
many instances know, the whole produce is
scarcely worth ten dollars an acre; sometimes
it is worthless, and there is a dead loss. Now,
if by adding two dollars an acre to the expense,
you can add ten dollars to the produce, would
you not be eight dollars better off? Here is
the very thing: Cultivate less land and cult
that little thoroughly and you will find yourself
growing rich. Which is best, to cultivate %
acres at $l2 an acre, costing $500, and get
$500 worth of produce, or to cultivate so acres
at $40 an acre, costing $500 and getting $500
worth of produce? We are not exaggerating
the matter. Many farmer is doing theatter in
Tennessee; and all he gets is his wages as hired
man for working his own land; for of course his
labor is a part of the cost of $40 an acre; and
he runs yearly risk of losing ALL or part of
this. We repeat; cultivate less land, cultipate
better, and you will be richer.
