the third place, the British rifemen-

A year ago last February question
rose between John w. Macaay and Hugh
Lamb, foreman of the bonanza mines,
AZ to the capacity OF the Consolidated
Virginia shaft for raising ore. Lamb
said he could bring mp from the 1900
level of that mine 600 tons OF ore per day,
on an average through the month. A
wager OF 500 suit of clothes was
finally made between them, and the WORK
commenced. During the 20 days of that
little month l7,724 tons of ore were
raised through that shaft alone, averag-
ing, az will be seen, G33 tons pr day.
The result of this achievement, how
ever is more astonishing than the work
itself. The ore was all miled as raised,
and the bullion production OF the Con-
solidated Virginia that month stands a
marvel in mining, which will, as we
firmly believe never be squaled. The
yield of the mine for the month was

In THE WRONG RooM.-Some ludi-

pearance, connected by long corridors,
and which were all furnished alike. One
night Senator Mangum, of North Caro-.
lima, then President pro tempore of the
Senate, a digni6ed gentleman of the old
school, had returned from party, when
Governor Upham, Senator from Yer
mont, came in without ceremony and
took a seat. The two chatted away on
politics, &C., until the clock struck one.

monter, yet he did not bulge. Mangum
stared at him in amazement, and at last
said: "But why don't you go to your
room? 1t will soon be 2 o'clock" "My
room, Mr.. President! Why this is my
room, and have been waiting for you to
go away for two hours past" Mangum
sprang to his feet, looked into the sleep

How THE FARMER MUST MANAGE

How THE FARMER MUST MANAGE
When out of debt, farmer can, on a
tight pinch, support his family on very
small income. His COWS, pigs and fowls,
with the breadstufs he can grow without
any hired help, will supply him with
food. Then, by keeping from fifty to
one hundred hens, he can buy his groce-
ries with the surplus eggs; and with a
few pigs fattened, few calves, a little
surplus grain, he can clothe his family,
and thus avoid mortgaging his farm-the
death-knell, in most cases, of 9 farmers
prosperity and peace of mind. Every
farmer who finds it hard work to "make
both ends meet" and has girls and boys
growing up, should have patch of straw.
berries, raspberries, or of other small
fruits, for the children to weed and pick,
and also to sell in the village, if it is not
far off. Let the rising generation among
farmers be utilized by being thus ena,
ployed at times in some profitable and
pleasant work. Strawberries often yield
one hundred bushels per acre, or 5000
quarts, worth anywhere from ten to TWEEN
ty cents quart; and many farmer has
cleared, with the help of his children,
$1OO on quarter Of an acre. The vii

Kentucky, Champion, Monarch of the
West, Seth Boyden, and Jucunds, are

with ammonia, a fayorite food Of the com

the manuring of corn in the hill SO gen.
orally successful. It is good practice to
SOW peas in the corn field at the last
ploughing. We have seen recently an
account Of some experiments made to
test the question of how much the corn
crop is cut off by the presence of the peas
the difference in yield of two portions,
one with peas the other not, was scarcely
appreciable-the pea crop and the fer
tilizing of the land was shown TO- be al
most clear gain. Where the seasons are
at all short, early varieties of peas should
be sown in the corn, as they cannot make
much headway till the fodder is pulled.
Push cotton by frequent ploughings,
and give it so much hoeing as may be
necessary to keep it perfectly clean.
June is the month for cotton to make
queed- after that we wish it to make fruit
and frequent ploughings hasten rapid
growth. After fruiting begins, the
ploughings should be at longer intervals.
Bring to final stand as soon as possible.
What that should be, depends on many
circumstances nature ofland, Of season,
of depth Of soil, amount Of manuring,

FODDER PEAs.-Says a practical far
mer: have for years kept fatter COWS
and had more milk and butter, and for
less money, than anybody i. know Of.
First SOW peas broadcast, three pecks
or a bushel per acre, in the month Of
May, narrowing them IN sa, after breaking s1,,|{
them up just when few begin to dry,
and make hay out of the vines and peas.
I get from 1000 to 5000 pounds per acre
of hay, that is eaten by cattle and horses
as eagerly as if it were the best clover.
Pulling up is far preferable to moving,
as cattle seem to love the roots better
than the tops, and it is said to be more
nutritious. No manuring is necessary,
and one acre in sowed peas is worth six
of fodder.
