Judge w. II. Miller of this city,
who is visiting friends in st. Joseph.
Mo. has been interviewed by a re-
porter of the St. Joe. Herald, who
gives the following account of what
the Judge says about the Black Hills:
Judge Miller stated his firm belief
that not one-tenth of the truth has
been gwen to the public concerning
this auriferous country. He has re-
peatedly met miners, perfectly trust
worthy, and just in from the Black
Hills, with native gold in their pos
session, and without an exception,
they stated that the yield ranged
from 5 to 40 cents per pan-2i cents to
the pan being a paying yield.
This new field of gold is very ex-
tensive, and rich districts are con-
stantly being discovered. About 200
men are now at work, and new par
ties are daily pulling ont of Cheyenne,
fully equipped for work. Judge
Miller is Of the opinion that by the
lst of July next fully 25,0O0 men will
be at work in the forbidden country,
and that all will find plenty to do.
Aside from rich mineral deposits,
the Black Hills country is u desirable
section, the grazing being unsurpass-
ed. The Black Hills are about 225
miles from Cheyenne. The miners go
to Fort Laramie, cross the Platte
river on Il substantial iron bridge,
just completed by the government,
and then strike out to the northwest
on an excellent road, constructed by
the government over twenty years
ago, with good ranches bur a few
miles apart, and tip-top water. The
excitement in Cheyenne is reported
intense, everyone seeming to have
the Black Hills on the brain.
Stages are making regular trips to
the new gold fields and are always

A Dsnyerits in the Hills.

John II. Brennan, of Denver, a
thoroughly reliable gentleman, writes
TO a friend in that city, from Spring
Creek, in the Black Hills, as follows:

an intelligent opinion upon the region.

pected. Only two claims Oh this creek

worked. These are paying big-that

at the rate of "a to IS per hour to the

and they tx pect To do still better. n =
This region abounds in good grazing
and farming lands. The vegetation is
luxuriaiit and the soil rich aud deep,
and admirably adapted to farming
purposes. In attractiveness
of scenery and mildness of climate it
is unsurpassed anywhere. Up to the
present time we have had no snow,
and the atmosphere has been summer
like. = 4 = There are not over three

Look at the exhibit of our coun-
oyer the signature of Mr.. Draper.
chairman of the board of county COM
m%issioners. and Judge Tracy, county
treasurer. Laramie county has been
remarkably fortunate in securing the
right kind of men to administer its af-
fairs. Our county commissioners dur
ing the past six years, including the
former board, Messrs. Nichols, Dyer
and Post, and the present Joficers,
Messrs. Draper, Landau and Beary,
deserve the thanks of all taxpayers
for an honest, faithful and economical
administration of the important trusts
confided to them.
Laramie county has the finest court
house in the Territory 1t was built
ION the square,. at a very low figure,
and to-day it stands AS a monument of
the zeal and integrity of the gentlemen
who had charge of its construction, as
county commissioners. This county
building is being rapidly paid for,
without unreasonable taxation, aud
the court house bonds are quoted at a
premium, being considered the best
in vestment in this section of the
country.
May Laramie county always secur
the services of as faithful officers as
Ahave guarded it's interests during the
past six years.

What are the effects of drainage2 Tho
rough drainage deepens the soil. OF what
use is it to pillow deep and manure heavily
while the soil is full of water The roots
of plants will not go down into stagnant
water, the elements of plant food are not
all on the surface, many of them have been
washed down by the rains, some of them
are found in the decomposing rocks them
selves. Take away the water and the roots
will find them. Drainage lengthens the
seasons. In our climate this is an impor-
tant point to be gained. If by drain
age, one or two weeks could be gained,
it would be quite relief to our back
ward springs when there is so much to be
done in short space of time. Drainage
increases the effect of the application OF
manure; the soil being dryer is more east
ly worked fine, the manure also more even
ly distributed. The water also passing
through the soil carries fertilizing matter
down to the roots of the plants. When
there is stagnant water manure must decom-
pose slowly, if at all, but let the water pass
off, the air is admitted, and decomposition
takes place.
What observing man is there who does
not know that his crops are improved by
drainage? Sweet English grass and clover
takes the place Of sedge and rushes.

Leached Ashes.

The theory your correspondent on leach
ed ashes, does not agree with my experience
U have referenceto wood ashes only) am
no chemist, but have had some experience
with ashes, both leached and unleached,
as n fertilizer. will simply give as my
opinion that there is something besides
potash that gives value to leached ashes as
u fertilizer; and my reason for my opinion
is that / have found leached ashes so near
ly equal as fertilizer to those unleached,
and that age and exposure do not decrease
the value of leached ashes. Sixteen years
ago I used a pile of leacbed ashes that had
lain over thirty years, having been leached
for black salts by my father when he first
cleared the farm. I applied them as top
dressing for wheat, and seeded with timo-
thy and clover in March following. The
field was used for meadow q few years,
and has been used as pasture ever since.
The effect of the ashes was beyond my
expectation, both for the wheat and grass,
the closeness with which it is grazed by
the stock. My success with leached ashes
induced me to make some experiments
with unleached. Surprising that the pot
ash was all that gave them value, I rea-
soned that one bushel of unleached would
be equal to ten or fifteen of leached, and
top dressed my wheat accordingly. In
this however, was mistaken; the result
did not prove as satisfactory, and although
] consider them valuable if properly used,
have never received So satisfactory re-
suit from their use as from the use of
leached ashes. For the past six years l
have used about 1000 bushels year of
leached ashes on my farm for various crops,
and can recommend it as one of the best
fertilizers that have ever used. 1t shows
its effects longer than any other manure
have ever tried.-L. G. Reece, in Ohio Far

A JOLLY GAME. -"Blowing Cotton" is
sitting-room game of the jolliest sort Let
rs many as may sit around the table with
hands folded and arms extended along the
edge of the table, each person touching
elbows with his neighbor on each side Of
him. Take small piece of common cotton
batting, picked up so as to make it as light
and airy as possible. Let some one count
lone, two, three" and then let each one
blow his best to keep the cotton away from
himself and drive it upon some one else.
The person on whom it alights must pay a
forfeit. No one must take up his arms to
escape the cotton. When it alights, take
it up, and start it anew. 1t will be very
sober set indeed who can play two or three
rounds without indulging in the heathiest
sort of uproarious laughter

What is wanted for many kinds ofplants
and flowers, is moist heat at the roots and
tibres, where growth early starts, and from
which the stimulus is conveyed to every
other part of the plant. A thrifty growth
below the ground is sure to be followed by
fruit and flowers above. This can be &C.
complished by filling the saucers of the
flower pots with hot water. This is, of
course, absorbed and carried up to the
roots and fibres, giving the required bot
tom heat. Unthrifty plants, in addition
to this, should be placed ON the mantel-
piece over the kitchen range keeping
them, of course, well watered. 1t supplies
heat where it is most wanted-at the
roots-and the benefit is marked. In warm
rooms the higher temperature is at the top,
and the coolest near the floor, where the
pots are. This reverses the proper order.
giving the roots of the plant the coolest
place. Another important matter in house
plants is to give them the morning sum-
Windows where flowers are kept, should
therefore, face the east. The reasons are not
known perhaps, but the fact is patent to
all whose business it is to develop healthy
growth in plants and flowers, that an hour
of morning sun is worth three hours Of
afternoon sun.-BoSton Transcript.

CURING SKINs.-A method of curing
skins without removing the hair, is given
by correspondent in the Fancier's Jour-
nal :-"Take soft water about ten gallons,
one-half bushels of wheat bran, seven lbs.
of salt, two and half pounds of sulphuric
acid. Dissolve all together and put the
skins in the solution, and allow them to
remain twelve hours take them out and
clean them well, and again immerse twelve
more hours, or longer if necessary. The
skins may then be taken out, we'll washed
and dried. They can be beaten soft il
desired"

WASTE OF LAND.-If farm of 100 acres
is divided by fences into fields of 10 acres
each, there. are miles of fences. If each
fence is now one rod wide, no less than 10
acres are occupied by them. This is equal
to 81 per cent. of the farm, and the loss OF
the use of the land is exactly equal to q
charge of Ct per cent. on the whole value
of the farm. But nearly every fence row
in the country is made nursery of weeds,
which stock the whole farm, and make an
immense amount of labor necessary to keep
them from smothering the crops. Much
damage always results to the crops from
these weeds, and if these expenses are adj
ded to the first one, the whole will easily
sum up to 20 per cent. or tax Of one fifth
of the value of the farm. To remedy this
we would have fewer fences, or we would
clean and sow down the fence rows to grass
or clover, and NOW them twice o year.
Ten acres of clover or timothy would, at
least, supply farm with seed and few
tons of hay every year. We would in short
consider the fence rows as valuable part
of the farm, and use them as such.
