WILL START UP.--It is positively
asserted that the Hope Mill will start
up within few days on Buckeye
ore. c. C. Stevenson, Esq, Super
intendent of the Buckeye, returned
from San Francisco yesterday morn
ing, where heswas called by the Di-
rectors Of the Company. We have
not had the pleasure of meeting with
the Superintendent since his return,
but have learned enough from the
ton that the min Wifi afflh TIE
as stated. The following is the latest
report from the mine: Good pay
ore is coming in at the top OF tne
north drift on the first station level
on which a raise is now up twenty
feet, ALI the way in good ore. 5000
progress Is made in the north driit
on the third station, but as yet no
developments worthy of note have
been made.

SANTIAGO MINE.-we are pleased

SANTIAGO MINE.-We are pleased
to announce that work has been re-
sumed on this mine, which has lain
idle some ten years. Previous to
that time large amount of paying
ore was extracted. Mr.. J. Kallmes
has leased the mine, placed a num-
Der of men at work, and will COM
mence extracting ore to-day or to-
morrow. The ore will be reduced
at the Sherman mill, opposite this
office, of which Mr.. X. is superin-
tendent. The mine is situated about
three quarters of mile west from
the mill, with good road leading
to it. In more ways than one will
this enterprise help Silver City.
There will be large force of men
employed at the mine, and quite
number at the mill, all drawing
their supplies from our merchants.
1T will also be an incentive for other
mine owners 10 open up their dor
mant works, of which there are
many that will pay handsomely. 1t
is only question of time; the south
end of the Comstock will yet turn
out her tons of bullion monthly,
and give employment to thousands
of miners.

In SEARCH OF AN ITEM On
Thursday last, two typos might have
been seen near the bridge that spans
the Carson at Dayton, vainly endeav-
oring to bride Mongoliau to go be-
yond his depth in the water, thickly
blocked with cord-wood and drift, as
the Carson river presents itself at
that busy place. A duck was in the
centre of the stream, apparently I'M
able to extricate itself from fearful
fate, when said typos offered a pas

did they get that sum of money! to

seen the said typos were none other
than live reporters-determined to
have an item, even though China

Water Farming,

We extract the following from a let
ter of George II. Jerome, one of the
Fish Commissioners of Michigan, to
the National Granger: "When the
sea, the lake, and those unnumbered
rivers and streams that bear their never
ceasing food seward, shall make such
returns as they are capable of making,
the increase in cheap, abundant food
will tend greatly to harmonic the rela-
tions of capital and labor. It is esti-
mated that the yearly catch, consump-
ton and value of food in those coun-
tries alone is equal to $120, 900, 900.
Now suppose we put the fish at three
cents per pound, and it will give us
1000, 900, 900 TBS of food. Suppose that
we estimate the weight of neat cattle at
700 pounds each, and pound of fish to
be equal to pound of meat, and We
have here as much food, all the uncost-
ly yield of the sea, as is equal to 5, $780,
600 of cattle. Now to this add the
yield of the whole sea, the lake, the
river, the lakelet and rivulet, and we
have an amount of good, brain and
muscle food almost beyond the range
of calculation. If we except China,
Japan and small part of Europe, not

Cultivation of Tobacco.

The magnificent castles in the air
which have been erected during the
past few years by the over sanguine to-
bacco growers now lie in ruins. The
unfortunate builders are disappointed
and Disguised. It was ever thus with
growers of what may be called special
crops. For a few years large profits
tempt greater ventures, and then come
excessive crops for one or two seasons
and prices go out of sight. A Connnec-
ticut farmers club has of late discussed
this matter. It was there stated that in
Franklin county there was enough to-
bacco for sale to'give twenty-five dollars
to every person old and young, IL the
county. We have heretofore cautioned
our readers that this result might hap
pen that tobacco was one of those IL
legitimate crops, so to speak, which
might be profitable for a season, but
were poor dependence. What is to
be done? A tobacco stubble makes an
excellent ground for a corn crop or a
root crop. We have heard of forty-five
bushels of wheat having been harvested
from one acre of tobacco land in Massa-
chusetts one hundred bushels of corn
would not be a more valuable crop.
which, with the fodder, would bring
nearly one hundred dollars per acre:
this would be probably as much as
many tobacco crops in the palmy DAYS
of the business have yielded, net, and
twice or four times as much as it would
now yield. 1t is now good time not

Ouietness in Milking.

The COW is naturally sluggish in her
movements, and should not be hurried
out of her natural gait. She shouldnever
be driven to the place of milking faster
than a walk, and if she has far to go,
the walk should be slow one. Hurry
ing a COW when she is full, and the
weather warm, hastens the circulation
of her blood, and heats both her blood
and her milk. A very little heating of
the blood perceptibly affects the milk.
1t increases its odor as well, raises its
temperature, and modifies the butter or
cheese made from it. On this account
driving COWS with a dog is not to be
recommended. We have seen the milk
of dairy numbering thirty COWS, per-
ceptibly affected by the milk of single
COW driven in haste by a dog. She
happened to be out at night and was &C
cidently left in the lot hundred and
fifty rods distant, when the herd was
driven to the barn, Against our pro-
test, dog was sent after her and she
came running to the barn, painting and
frightened. In ten or fifteen minutes
afterwards she gave about six quarts of
milk instead of ten, hot and odorifer-
Gus. 1t was mixed with the rest of the
milk and, as was then customary, left
through the night without any other
cooling than it got by stirring. The ex-
ira odor of the feverish milk, acting as
a ferment in the slowly cooling mass,
made impress upon the milk and curd
of the next day. The nilk of this COW
was not regular till after several milk
ings. This was an extreme case. Less
heating and worrying produce less
effect, but never fail to do injury. I'm
less the number of COWS is very small,
and they are all very quiet and peacea-
BILE, they had better be fastened in
milking barn or shaded stalls, rather
than to be MIXED in an open yard. A
large herd requires yard so large as to
give too much chance for do lging, run
ming, hooking and disturbing each 9th
er. 1t soon becomes trod up and filthy,
especially in moist weather. The prac
tice of milking in open yards is rapidly
going out of use, especially in large
dafries. All harsh and violent treat
ment should be avoided. Pain and
fear, worrying and solicitude, are clear
~ detrimental to milk secretion, and
never fail to make the COW hold back a
part of her mess, if they occur at the
time of milking. Kind and gentle treat
ment and quietude promote secretion,
and are absolutely essential to drawing
all the milk.-Ca'10dG Farmer.

Habits of the Fur Seal.

The fur seal never sprawls out and
founders when moving on land, as
might be supposed from observing the
progression of the common hair seal ;
on the contrary, this animal carries its
body clear and free from the ground,
with head and neck erect, stepping for
ward with its fore-feet, and bringing the
hinder ones up to fresh position after
every second step forward. When ex-
erting itself it can spring into a lum-
bering, stumbling gallop, and for few
rods run as fast as man, but will sink
quickly to the earth, grasping, painting,
and palpitating. In the water all move
ments when swimming are quick and
swift, the fore-fippers propelling, and
the long, attenuated hinder ones serv-
ing to guide the course. The animal
always in travelling swims under water,
ever and anon rising, with head and
neck clear from the sea, to snort and
survey the field. The seals will fire.
quertly, when III play or suddenly
startled, leap from the water like so
many dolphins.
The young seals are exceedingly frol-
icsome at sea Gas also a great part of the
time on land) running acrobatic races
in the surf, chasing one another, and
whirling in swift circles, they seem to
be brimful of warm, Joyous life. They
also delight, especially the old ones, in
lazily turning over and over in the
swell, scratching and rubbing them
selves with their fippers, exposing as
they float in the water but small por-
ton of their bodies they also sleep
upon the surface in the same short, un-
aocu c111r~ har of d..
when on land. There is nothing dull
asleep or awake. A healthy seal is
never seen sleeping without an invoIun-
tary nervous muscular twitching and
fiinching of various portions of its
body, usually an uneasy folding out
and back of its fippers, with quick
crawling movements of its skin, the
eyes being, however, always tightly
closed.
Arising from these great bands of
herding seals is peculiar dull, vibrat-
ing roar, the joint effort of hundreds of
thousands of vigilant and angry males,
together with the calls of their harems,
a din which never ceases for an instant,
day or night, during the six or eight
weeks of the breeding season it can
be heard at sea miles away, and fire.
quently has warned vessels of danger
Gus proximity of land when searching
for the islands in thick, foggy weather.
There also comes with this sound a
most disagreeable smell. The seals
themselves do not emit this odor, al
though they have sweetish, oily breath,
but they are constantly stirring up the
decaying bodies of the dead, on and
over which they sleep or necessarily
founder. -Hdrper' Magazine.
