Meadow Valley Matters.

Affairs in cohuection with this nine
continue to be the engrossing topic of
conversation. As we stated yeste rday
morning, everything has been satisfacto.
rily arranged and this morning opera
tons recommence in every department
Of the mines working. 1t is the inten-
ton of the Superintendent to take all
possible advantage of the present fine
weather and get AS much WORK as posi-
bic fitted and housed before the snow
flies. The Risdon Iron Works Compa-
ny, at San Francisco, have their full
force working on the machinery, and are
pushing it to completion as rapidly as
possible. The President Of the Compa-
ny writes that they are working a large
force of men till 10 o'clock at night in
order to have it finished and shipped to
Phoebe before the roads are rendered i'm
passab!e by storms. The pumping en-
CINE is nearly all together on the floor,
and is receiving the finishing touches :;
the hosting gear for the pump shaft ia
all finished. and it, with the remaining
pumps, will be shipped Immediately.
The work is being put together complete
in the San Francisco foundry in order to
save time in its erection when it arrives
here. Everything about it demonstrates
It to be one of the most perfect pieces of
pumping machinery ever built on the
Coast, or in fact, anywhere else. 1t is
more powerful than the engine just
started on the Hale & Norcross and Saw
age mines in Virginia. Should the ee-
ments permit, We are promised to see
this massive machinery doing duty on
the mine some time in January next.

looking stranger, who was closely watch

mind. on the queen. After several deals
the stranger gave the dealer $40, making
statement similar to the first; where.
upon the banker pocketed the money,
thinking that he had found a lunatic.
After short time had elapsed, the
passengers, startled by most terrific
yell, looked in wonder and alarm at the
contoruons Of the stranger, who, Jump
ing about the group, cried out at every
jump;
I've won! I've won! I've won it,"
"Won WHAT" asked tbs banker.
why, I've won $3.50! l bet, in nv
mind, on the cavier, and he won! Hand

eelved the money, and also request to

A farmer writes that he and his
neighbors, having Some grain to
carry to market, took the precau
ton to accurately weigh it before
leaving home. The buyer made
the loads four to six bushels less
than they should be. Une of the
farmers had no evidence of his
home weight, and could do nothing
as the grain was already mixed
with that in store. The other had
a witness Of the weight Of hie
grain on the home scales, and
compelled the buyer to pay for the
full amount. There is but little
doubt that such frauds are often
these hard times, when
buyers profits are light. Every
nelghborhood at least ought to
have platform scales, and many
farmer could much better afford t.
buy them than to sell their pro
duce exclusively at buyers weight.

Hints for the Month.

IF the corn land was we'll pre-
pared, the crop judiciously plant
ed, a good stand obtained, and the
work Of cultivation well done thus
far, the farmer can do little else
thar to give the crop a speedy
working early in the month, and
before the LIST July Jay it by with
a few shallow sweep burrows. On
of the most successful farmers we.
ever knew, told US he w rar
a furrow in corn as late os LIST
July. How will il be with you
this season?
Cotton is now growing off finely
and begins to present a beautiful
appearance. 1t has been worked
over and thin ed to "a staud,'
which, with seine fsrmer, means
two stalks to the hill, with othe'
ore ; we PREFER the latter, and
standing about the width of II
broad noe apart. Frequent work.
quick work, aud shallow work is
all this crop needs this month,
and it should receive it as early a.
possible, for the hands will be
needed elsewhere before the month
is out. Don't put IF work, but
push it. Cotton will watt is q
falIacy. 1t will survive maltre t.
ment, but to let the crop get
partially strangled now, with a
promise to resuscitate it hereafter
is poor economy. Keep it clean
from the start, and never leave it
until it is in thorough condition.
If peas are not planted in May,
plant them now, but not in the
corn. Plant in narrow bed to
themselves, and chop once with
the hoe as soon as up, and at pro
per time give one blowing. Pea
soup, peas and rice, and boiled
peas, are dishes palatable enough
to induce every farmer to grow an
acre or SO for the table, to say
nothing of the value of a larger
crop as both grain and hay for all
kinds of stock. Few crops ar
more valuable for both man and
beast.
This month the oat crop and
spring wheat will be cut. Cradle
carefully, bind securely, shock in
shocks of a dozen bundles, don't
cap, leave the grain shocked for a
v ek, If the weather is dry and
warm, and then with all hands
to the barn and house, or stack.
Oat straw that has not been wet
since the crop was graded. and not
left to bleach in the fields longer
than just time enough to make it
fit for housing, is better long>for:>
age than corn fodder, and almost
equal to hav.
Grain for seed should be thor
ougbly ripe before harvested; for
feeding it should be cut a week
earlier.
Most farmers say harvesting
grain interferes with the cotton
crop. We always feel the ether
way. We must have our grain
harvested, but the cotton crop very
frequently worries us.
Potato slips may DO set out any
time turing this month, aud we
hope not a reader of the Rural
but has a good potato patch. From
October till May, no one article OF
' food fills the biz so well as the
sweet potato. Fried for breakfast
roasted Cor dinner, or poned for
dessert, it is always palatuble and
nutritious. Then grow them large
.ly this season to enjoy them mex,
winter.
Garden vegetables are becom-
ing abundant; keep the garden
e!eae, and plant successive crops Of
beans, cabbage, contemporaries
