From tho Buffalo Rxpress.l

tFrom the Buffalo Exprefs.l
Ex-Constable Quinn desired the club
to inform him how, to make hogs root.
DR.. Slow had been q practical farmer
for the last six weeks, and In all the
varied agricultural experience no such
article as hogs root had ever come I'M
der his notice. What was 1t? Was 1t
edibles? Was It useful In any way?
Or was 1t, as he more than suspected,
another worthless hurnbug devised by
the sharpers to defraud us practical
farmers? He knew not whether 1t
was propagated BY seeds, or by cut
tings, but lie would advise Mr.. Quinn
to be shy OF hogs root, especially II 1t
was n new-fangIed or high-priced tuber.
Mr.. Moker, the agricultural writer,
explained the anatomy Of the hogs
proboscis. 1t Is designed for subterra-
mean foraging, by q process vulgarly
called roofing, to which Mr.. Quinn's
inquiry probably referred. Being a
delicate organ. 1t Is liable to injury.
He would recommend that Mr.. Quinn
wipe his hogs nose. If he finds 1t red,
he may be sure It Is tender, and needs
protection by a metallic shield. Some
resort to the strategic device Of insert
Ing n wire ring in the hogs nose, In
his efforts to remove which he would
naturally thrust his snout into the soil,
and thus root un%wittingly. That was
playing 1t rather low on the hog, and
the metallic shield was preferable on
the score of fair dealing aud philan-
thropy.
Mr.. Greeley exhibited a pumpkin Of
his own raising. As It embodied his
solitary success, after several years Of
diScouraging failure In pumpkin cul-
ture, the Club surrounded 1t with I'M
covered heads and mingled emotions
of surprise, admiration and envy. 1t
was n superb fruit; and when Mr.. G.'s
hat was placed on 1t, to illustrate Its
size and symmetry, the hat and pump
kin seemed so exactly adapted tO each
other, and together produced an effect
so startling, that several enthusiastic
members swore that they would have
known who raised that pumpkin If
they had seen II anywhere. It Is to be
photographed by Quincy, and next
years Tribune subscribers will receive
copies. The, pumpkin was the flatter-
Ing product OF one bushel Of seed
planted on the. farm In Champana.
Soon after blossoming, the vine mani
tested all inclination to wither. 1t

THE Sioux City Times says: ~. D.
Jenkins Is n m~iddle-aged man, who
has lived In Sioux City during the
greater portion of the past year. He

his family consists Of himself, his wife

The ISpIASs.-The United States
Supreme Court has recently decided
that the Kansas Indians could not
ALLEVIATE their lands without the Official
sanction of the Secretary OF h lnte-
rior. The lands in question had been
set of in separate parcels to the Kansas
Indians, and the heirs Of several OF the
original grantees then sold their tracts
but afterwards brought actions ofeject-
ment against the purchaser to recover
the demised premises, alleging that
they had no power to sell. On the
trial the Court refused permission to
the defendant to put in evidence the
deeds, on the ground that the grantors
named therein could convey no title.
The Supreme Court has affirmed this
decision, holding that the authority to
sell was vested in the Secretary of the
Interior, and was withheld from tho
Indians themselves, and that the deeds
were imperative and void, and con-
yeyed no title to the purchaser.

CARSON o1TY MINT.

James Pollock. ESQ, tho Director
of the Philadelphia Mint, In his An
nual Report to Secretary Boutwell,,
speaks of the Carson City Branch Mint,
as follows:
The Branch Mint at Carson City,
Nevada. is now in operation. In May,
1860, the fitting up Of this branch LOT
business as a Mint was commenced.
and completed in December OF that
year. On the Sth Of January, lS'o, II
was opened for the reception Of bull
lion. The Superintendent, in his re-
mort. saws : "Since that time the bust
moss has been steadily increasing, and,
with the facilities afforded other insti-
tutions ofits kind. will do q large busl-
ness both In refining and coming"
This branch Mint, to make It elfcient
and successful, requires q bullion iund
equal to the Legitimate demands OF
business and the Just expectation OF Its
depositors. No such fund has, rs yet,
been provided for the institution. The
urgent request Of the superintendent
for such fund was approved by the d.
rector and forwarded to the proper
authorities for their consideration and
action. 1t Is desirable that the subject
should be favorably considered and the
fund provided. "The delay" says
the Superintendent in his report, ain
giving the branch a sufficient amount
OF gold and silver to cash deposits so
500 as their value should be deter
mined has operated very in~juriously,
a. we'll in regard to the amount Of bull
lion received as In the expense Of work
ing it. Large lots Of bullion can be
worked with far less per centage OF
wastage than small ones; and the
labor of re-melting and re-assaying
has been much greater than II larger
quantities could have been worked at
once. ,,
In reference to the future Of this
branch, and its influence In developing
! the mineral resources of the country,
the report says: 1.-The mining inter,
ests Of the country, from whence the
larger portion Of bullion is received
are improving rapidly ; now mines
are UeltS ucNclopSu niiN h"'6N. f"'
titles Of bullion produced as the cosl
Of working the orc is becoming re-
duced." "With proper arrangcmnl
and facilities afforded this branch II
will increase its business MATERIAL!
during the next fiscal year, and give
much aid in developing the mining
interests of this and adjoining States
Tho deposits mt this branch during
the year were Gold, $l24.1d A
gold coined. $l10,576 O5; silver de-
posts and purchases, $3.50 l6; sill
yer coined. 49, 1913. Total deposit;
and purchases, Sl52,416 co total coin
age, 1872. 800 05; total number OIL
pieces, IS. $50. The report Is very ell
encouraging, and it Is earnestly de-
| sired that the present anticipatlons o.
its officers may be fully realized In the
future prosperity Of this branch. J
cannot forbear repeating the dcclara'
ton, made in my last annual report,
that the policy OF the Government II
relation to the development Of thu
mineral wealth of our country should
be liberal aud generous.
