which drain vast region, and will serve
as feeders to the road. Z. It will partake
of the character of an international route,
permanently controlling the carrying trade
OF British America and rendering the i'm
portant colonies north of the boundary, and
west Of Lake Superior, commercially trib-
utary to our Northern States.
Already it is stated that settlers are rap
idly crowding t. the line of the Northern
Pacific road in the New Northwest, and
Judging from what is known of the plans
adopted for promoting the settlement and
development, through emigration and colo
nizatlon, of the belt of the States and Ter
ritories tributary to the line-there would
seem to be no doubt that the corporation
upon which the Government has conferred
this great trust, Is determined to make the
enterprise not only financially sound, but
greatly and permanently beneficial to the
whole country. With its munifcent en-
dowment of fertile lands, with the natural
advantages this route undoubtedly enjoys,
and with the farsi GIFTED policy already in
augurated, a great commurcal project
could hardly start under better auspices or
with greater assurance of success.

No man can scan the general outlook OF
affairs from this point without feeling that
the long years of indefinite waiting are
p ssed, and that the magnitude of events
in the railway world at large; the special
attention of railway enterprise directed to
this quarter; and the sharp necessities of
commercial competition are compelling an
immediate recognition of the Importance of
this site for great city at the western end
of Lake Superior.
And all must feel that if our resident and
nonresident property owners do but half
their duty in the premises, the coming rail-
way system of the Northwest cannot fail
to intersect the great Northern Pacific at
this point, by three years from this date at
the very farthest.
Every true friend of Superior then, COM
pretending the magnitude of the prize, and
the ease with which the most ordinary labor
will ensure it to this place against all oppo-
sition, will see to it that the very slight or
ganized effort which may be necessary to
put our affairs on an immediate working
basis, be not hindered by any fault or neg
Iigence on his part.

/ All land on which clover or the grasses
are grown must either have lime on it natu-

form OF stone lime, oyster shell lime or

2 All permanent improvements of lands
mus look to lime as its basis
5. Lands which have long been in culture
will pc benefited by application in the form
OF bone dust, guano, native phosphate of
lime, or mari, if the land needs limeing also.
4. No lands can be preserved in high
state ct fertility unless clover and the grasses
are cultivated in the course of rotation

q healthy supply can alone be preserved
through the cultivation of clover and grasses
the turning in ofgreen crops, or the applica-
ton OF composlts rich in the elements of
mold.
8. All highly concentrated animal ma
nures are increased in value, and their bene-
tit prolonged by the admixture Of plaster or
pulverized charcoal.
7. Deep plowing and subsoiling greatly
improve the productive powers of variety
of soils that are not wet
s. All wet land should be drained.
9. All grain crops should be harvested
ripe
10. Clover, as well as other grasses in
tended for hay should be mown when in
bloom
II. Sandy lands can be most effectuallv
improved by clay. If such lands require
inning 1t is best done by compost of lime
and clay. In Stacking lime salt brine is bet
ter than water
II. The chopping or grinding of grain to

25 per cent.
l3 The draining of wet lands adds to
their value by making them produce more
and better crops by producing them earlier
and by improving the health of the neigh

FIFTYTHREE SUNDAYs.-There will be
titty-three Sundays this year, and only fifty
two weeks. The reason for this is that the
year came in on Sunday and will go ont on
Sunday, and as there are but three hu, dred
and sixty-four days in fifty-two weeks, we
have surplus Of time equal to one day and
SIX hours each year; consequently, the ex-
ira day will terminate this year on Sunday
instead of Saturday, as would naturally oc-
cur were there only 364 days in year.
The extra hours gain in the calendar from
year to year until 1t becomes necessary to
add another day to the year. This occurs
every four years according to the measure
ment OF time, and is added to the days in
February, which is noted as having twenty
nlne days that year. This, You are well
aware, Is called Leap year, and we have no
reason to give for the origin of the name,
unless that it is on account of Judging the
accumulation of extra hours and min
utes OF time for the four successive years.
