ASHES IN AGRICULTURE.

Wood ashes is one Of the most important
fertilizers. It's easily obtained in any quan.
ties and at little expense. Take them care
fully from your hearths, and save them till
your corn and potatoes have risen two or
three inches from the ground, and then take
a basket on your arm, and frpm il take a
small handful of ashes aud cast il at tie root
Of your plants, and hoe them soon, SO as to
cover the ashes.
Ashes contain all the inorganic substances
Of the woud or plants which are consumed
part Of these are soluble and part insoluble
But the soluble substance mixed with water
viii dissolve the insolubes. Thus dissolved
potash will dissolve silica, and prepare for
glazing the stalks Of cane, corn, wheat, sc.
Net particle OF ashes should go 10 waste.
Leaehed ashes has parted. with most Of lis
potash, but II still retains us phosph0ric acid
and most uf lis lime.
Ashes neuiraize acids in the soils; they
warm cold, mnssy, wet places; they are ,e-
rs destructive to insects they assist u break
down aud dissolve the coarse fbres aud stalk.
in compost heaps; render hard, clayey soils
open. loamy aud fertile.
The potash, so material 10 mpst crops, car
be obtained here only from ashes. In grant,
regions, potash is obtained from the dissolu
iion Of tie fed.par, but We have none in this
region Of country.
Wheat contains large proportion Of pot
ash. Filty.nine per cent. Of the ash Of corr
is carbonate Of potash, onc.half the cath,
part OF Irish putatoes is pure potash.
Save your ashes, therefore, as carefully al
YOU do your i've and ten cent pieces, app,
them ID your crops with care, and YOU vii
find them OF rich deep green color, Will,
growing. and heavy with nutrlmcnt at har
vest. Aaeie,R ciy.

TIM GApspBE PURCHASE correspondent
Of one Of the California papers, says that mines
OF gold and silver exist In the country pur-
chased from Mexico by the Gadsden treaty,
and that number of small parties who had
gone thither in search Of the precious met ais
found numerous gold plscers, But were obliged
to abandon them, owing to the hostility Of the
Indians and the difficulty Of procuring sup
plies. It appears to be beyond doubt tha
gold does exist In the head waters Of the San
Pedro and ella but the writer from whom VIC
quote says that the whole country is rs rich 10
gold deposites as California. He also adds
that within less than twenty miles Of Ash
Spring there are silver mines now In the pos
session of the Apache Indians, richer and
more extensive than the famous chihuahua
mines near Corolitss. In the western section,
mere are also said to be mines Of almost pure
copper, and around Tucson iron has been
found in abundance. Should this news be
verified, this strip Of territory will not prove
so hard bargain as has been generally be-
lieved.
