The Blue Mounds.

The view which we obtained from the
Top of the Blue Mounds-the highest point
Of land in Wisconsin-the other day, was
a sight worth journey across the contin-
nent; it was truly magnificent. To the
south we behold a most beautiful rolling
prairie, almost every acre of which for
twenty miles is rich farming land it is
dotted with farm houses, sometimes the
primeval log huts, but more generally the
white frame house of the we'll TO- do farmer.
The various hued fields Of grain present a
picture Of beauty and granduer seldom Il
ever witnessed elsewhere. To the north
We see an apparently unbroken, wild,
mountainous region, but on closer view
we observe that every valley, being highly
fertile, is occupied by some enterprising
and industrious farmer, who is making the
mountains, rocks, trees, and valleys con-
tribute to his wealth, which is at present
generally small, but large in prospective,
and undoubted in the future. The mean
dering streams which course almost every
valley; the majestic river from which our
noble state derives it's name; the lofty
bluffs beyond, and the still more lofty
Baraboo Bluffs further.in the''dis.ancc, lend
an enchantment to the view which must
be seen to be appreciated. The view to
the west can not be surpassed in Wiscon-
sin. We see fifty miles of the best and
richest farming lands in the west, which is
generally under good cultivation we have
view Of the best mineral region in the
state, and althoughsthis does not materially
improve the scenery, it is a satisfaction to
know that we are looking upon the richest,
best and healthiest part Of the state. On
a clear day, we can see Madison, Mineral
Point, Dodgeyille, Sauk City, and mum
Der Of other smaller and less distant pla-
ces. The Wisconsin liver, Baraboo Bluffs
and Platte Mounds are distinctly visible
and altogether we obtain a view which Is
richly worth all i. costs.

The manufacture Of metallic zinc is ar
interest quite IN its infancy in this coun
try, and it is one which, in my opinion
requires more protection than any other
of the mining or metallic interests of tbs
country. 1t is one in which labor and
capital enter more largely in proportion tc
its value than any of the other mineral
productions of the country. Previous to
1860, so far as my information goes, there
was little or none produced in the United
States; all was brought from Germany or
some other European countries. Now,
there are zinc works in five or six different
states Wisconsin, Illinois, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and Massachusetts. But the
production Of zinc has never yet been re-
muncrative in any Of those states. While
we produce zinc ore in greatest abundance
and of the best quality, yet we have never
been able to manufacture it to advantage.

Gated character of the machinery ard pro

but is produced by system of distillation
or sublimation, which requires extensive
and costly patented machinery and pro-
cesses."

MISSING HoP Hills. Many of our hop
growers are under the impression that
missing hills can only be filled by setting
out roots in the spring, as when planting
new yard, The true method of filling
missing hills, is by transplanting about
this time, good strong offshoots or runners.
Runners transplantcd now, will come into
bearing next year, So that growers save
one season by adopting this method in
stead Of waiting till spring to set out roots.
One Of our hop growers who had pr2cticcd
transplanting for years, gives it as his in
variable experience that his yard is equally
as good the year following as though no
hills had missed. another friend, who
had adopted transplanting, and who filled
up his missing hills in this manner some
weeks ago, informs us that the runners
have since made growth Of foot and a
half He;s satisfied that they will do as
well another wear as his old vines. This
is about the proper time for transplanting
and We ADVISE our hop growers TO see to il
that every missing hill is filled up. The
sooner it is done the better, though thc
middle of July, with favorable weather, Is
not too late for transplanting. = Bara6ot

PLENTY.-Ihe present season will be one
OF most abundant crops-almost bordering
on the fabulous-throughout the Pacific
coast unless some unforeseen calamity in
teryenes between this and harvest. That
danger does not seem probable, as the har-
vest will soon commence in California.
Our exchanges all tell the same story, from
here all the way to Monterey, that grass,
grain, and fruit are growing and maturing
with great promise of plentiful harvest
This is truly encouraging. The most
fruitful source of national wealth and pros
perlty after all, is agriculture, even in the
very districts of the richest mines, for it
has been the experience of all mining
countries, that they always remained poor
until they became self-supporting, or, in
other words, until they produced and man
utactured at home most of the food and
merchandise consumed by the population
California, in spite of the most ruinous
legislation, is becoming more permanent
ly prosperous by the comparative indepen-
dence she is acquiring through her in
creasing manufactures and farming inter
ests. We shall hail with pleasure the time
when this territory will be independent of
her neighbors for the -four and grain and
meats consumed at home. Then will taxes
grow less and satisfaction and content be
seen in mems countenances,- Stat s.
man.
That's just what's going to be the mat
ter In Colorado after the coming harvest,
which, like that of California, is now too
far along for any unforeseen calamity to
happen to it. Our harvest is going to be
more than equal to any two we ever had
before and we are going to have most Of
our living as cheap as it is on the Nilsson
ri River, after about three months longer.
