The principles involved illustrated in nearly all the
lake harbor Improvements.
The distance from the present mouth of the st. Lou
river the proposed canal is about two miles, and the
distance the present outlet of the Bay of Superior
is nearly five miles. The velocity of "A stream depends
upon the inclination of its surface 1t evident that
the inclination from the present mouth of the St Louis
river the canal will be greater than to the present
outlet of the Bay of Superior; and consequently the
velocity of the canal will be greater than the present
mouth-the lake level being the as both mouths
1t is very probable that the effect would be- in tme to
entirely close up the present outlet unless the costly
expedient of dredging is resorted to.

We have from time to time III these col
umns referred to the improvements which
have been steadily going on about town, as
evidence of the confidence our people repose
in the stability of the place. Our mechan-
les and artisans have been busily employed
at remunerative rates, none being idle who
were willing to work. With us, labor and
capital go hand in hand; industry and en-
terprse receiving their due reward.
Our business men seem to be alive to the
fact that they must keep pace with the on
ward march Of propitious events; hence,
we find them awake, and ready to grapple
with any obstacle in their way, and wiring
victory out Of defeat. During the past VIII
ter, the sash and door factory of X. G. Co
burn has been thoroughly overhauled and
put in trim to turn out any kind Of work
required in the construction of buildings,
from the humble cottage to the palatial
residence. This is emphatically a home
institution, and richly deserves the very lib
eral patronage which it has received, and
we refer to it with pride, as one Of the local
institutions ofSuperior.
We think there is no point on this broad
expanse of territory which offers greater IN
ducements to the manufacturer than this
place. We have an inexhaustible supply OF
the best timber in the country; with un-
eQualed facilities for saving and putting in
marketable shape; with ready market at
omr very door; and with the best land
locked harbor in the world, we can offer
inducements to the manufacturer which he
cannot find at any other point in the North
west For the manufacture Of pals and
tubs, shingles and agricultural implements,
we possess facilities second to none III the
country.
Situated as we are in the gateway Of the
great Northwest now being opened and de-
veloped by the Northern Pacific Railway
with the commerce Of India, China and
Japan soon to be landed on our shores for
transhipment we shall have a vast territory
laying tributary to us, to which we can con-
fdently point capital and educated labor,
and invite them to settle among US, and by
their productive industry, to aid in the de-
velopment of the richest country on this
continent In view of these and other con-
siderations, our confidence in the future of
Superior is unbounded. e

FARMING AND GARDENING.

How, what, when and where to plant, are
questions for thought and consideration by
every person interested in raising grain, veg
etables, or in the cultivation of flowers every
where, but more especially here, where the
spring is late in opening, and the growing
season Of the summer short.
We think many in this latitude, and in
clay soil cover seed too deeply. In warm
germinate, and grow well if covered to a
great depth; and because in such soil veg,
etabIes have done well in dry seasons, many
have concluded, that there was always great
gain in deep planting; but generally to
plant deep in clay soil, unless the seed is
raised above the surface, is mistake. The
growing season here generally comes on
very rapidly, after the ground is in condi-
ton for seeding and one of the most essen
tial things, is to secure a quick termination
Of the secd this requires air, light and mois-
ture, with 4 proper temperature, four con-
ditions which can only be obtained near the
surface in a clay soil.
Select good varieties of seed, of every
kind 1t is no more trouble to raise good
varieties of vegetables than poor. Many
times we have known persons toll to pant
and cultivate crops, which when matured
were worth but ittle, when careful selec-
ton of seed would have given valuable re-
turns. Select varieties Of seed adapted to
our climate. Time spent in trying to pro-
cure any satisfactory yield from varieties
adapted to warm and long seasons, Will not
pay.
Potatoes for this latitude should be such
kinds as grow quickly and mature early /;

you may with care, get a good growth from
some of the late varieties, but seldom will
you get tubers matured SO as to be fit for
table use; maturity before frost kills the
vines, is much better in every respect, for
use and keeping than a withered ripening
after. Keep different kinds from mixing
wheat, rye, oats and barley may about as
well be mixed as potatoes In planting. DIFF
terent varieties neither grow alike, or re-
quire the same care in cooking.
Plant as early in the spring as the season
will allow Sometimes late planting will
do well, but the chances are mostly in favor
Of the lace crop. Plant in the new, middle
or old # the moon, just as the weather and
candissa Of the ground will permit We
believe the condition Of the earth has more
to do with our crops here, than the moon.
Most Of our soil will raise good crops if well
drained, and worked, but places where sur
plus water will at any time stand upon the
surface, should not be used for root crops
Such places will not endure the drought Of
summer as well as land well drained. Have
the soil well worked to secure good yields
FRUIT CULTURE.-It is one of the great
est luxuries of life, to have an abundance
of fruit to put upon the table during the
season Of fruits, and also to have some pre-
served in cans, for other seasons Of the
year, and those who have never had any
other than the wited stale fruits which are
sold in the markets, after days Of transport
alton know very little Of the satisfaction
there is in pluching and eating fruit fresh
from ones own garden.
We are not in latitude where all kinds
Of fruit can be raised in perfection, but
many kinds may be produced here of a
quality, that can not be surpassed, if equal
led any where. And first of the summer
fruits, we would place the rawbcrry The
cultivation Of bed Of strawberries su1fic-
lent to furnish family with berries nearly
every day for three or four weeks, requires
but little labor, and may be made recrea-
ton and pleasure, much better in every
respect than a game at cards, back gam
mon, or the billiard table.
Select some one or two good kinds, set
the plants. as early in the spring as you can.
and in the second year you will be abun-
dainty rewarded Do not follow too much
the directions laid down in books, but con-
suit some one who has had experience in
your own locality, and learn from.
Wilson's Albany Seedling-all things
considered-is the best variety for this Vi
cinity. The plants are hardy, seldom being
winter-killed, prolific bearers, fruit Of ex-
cellent quality, good for summer use, and
can be preserved, and retain their flavor
better than any other variety known.
Jocundas are good, not so hardy as the
Wilson, bat bear little later, and continue.
bearing longer, and mature the latest ber-
ries remarkably well.
