Removal Of the Wheat Belt.


The Buffalo Courier says. The re-
moval of the 4" Wheat Belt" westward
is strikingly exhibited by the trade of
Cleveland. Only 80 years ago she ship
ped more wheat than any other port on
the great lakes, Buffalo alone excepted.
Massillon, now scarcely known in the
wheat trade, was the chief point of
original receipt, and received u larger
amount of wheat than any other port in
the world from the actual producers.
Now both Cleveland and Massillon draw
large proportion of their breadstuffs
and grain from the Northwest. West
ward the wheat producing regions takes
its way, but this condition of affairs,
although it will last for many years,
will not be permanent. With improved
agriculture wheat will again be grown
in large quantities where it is now
neglected, and the increased settlement
of the West will, after certain point is
reached, provide consumers nearer the
places of production in that region.

The Spirit of Self-Sacrifice.

The spirit of self-sacrifice is one of the
great beauties of holiness. Husband
yielding to wife, wife to husband !;
brother to brother; sister to sister; friend
to friend in great things, but in small,
especially. First and foremost, see that
the spirit is with you at home; then
carry it abroad into the world. 1t is a
spirit that will sweeten happiness and
brighten troubles, and when the soul is
ready to wing its fight to its eternal
home, it will have the unspeakable con-
ISOLATION of knowing that it has left the
world happier and better in some degree
than it found it; that it has been faith
full to its earthly mission. So will it
listen with unutterable bliss to the sem
tenoe; "Well done, thou goodand faith
full servant; enter thou into the JOY of
thy Lord !''-Argosy.

Marking Sheep.

This is best done with Venetian red, a
cheap paint, only few cents a pound,
and one pound will mark thousand
Take pinch of the dry powder and
draw the enclosing thumb and fingers
through the wool at the spot you wish
to mark, loosening the powder as you
do so, and it will combine with the oil
in the wool and make a bright red mark
that the rains will never wash out, and
which without iniuring the wool, will
endure from one shearing to another,
while it can be readily cleansed out by
the manufacturer.

eg Buckwheat is native of Asia.
and was brought to this country by the
earliest settlers. 1t was cultivated .by
the Dutch along the Hudson as early as
1926, and afterwards in the settlements
of the Sweeds ON the Delaware. From
these sections its cultivation spread over
New York, New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania, wherever clearings were made,
and bnckwheat cakes and wild honey at
that early period were a common and
much appreciated dish. The three states
named have since been great producers
of the grain, and its cultivation is ex-
tending so rapidly through the North
and Northwest that the present annual
yield exceeds 10000 bushels.

Fall Flowing for Corn.

Heavy clay soils that have q good
covering of clover or grass sod, may be
plowed this month for crop of corn
next season. We would not plow the
furrows fat, but set them on edge. In
the spring good narrowing, length
wise of the furrow, will give sufficient
depth of mellow soil for planting, leav-
ing the decomposed sod just where the
young roots can reach it. A light appli-
cation of artificial manure, before the
narrowing in the spring, would be very
beneficial. The planting should i'm
mediately follow the harrow, while the
soil is fresh. Light or mucky lands had
better be left until spring. as this treat
ment is not proper for them.
Gr Farmers and all who have charge
of cows may learn lesson from the
following anecdote which we clip from
an exchange: A market-gardener had
very fine COW that was milked week
after week by hired men. He observed
that the amount of butter he carried to
market weighed about a pound more on
each alternate week. He watched the
men and tried the COW after they had
finished milking, but always found that
there was no milk left in the teats. He
finally asked the Scotch girl who took
care of the milk if she could account for
the difference Why, yes," she says.
When Jim milks he says to the old
COW, So MY pretty muley, so But
when Sam milks he hits her on the hip
with the edge of the pail, and says,

Mining in Arizona.

From Arizona excellent news of mining prospects come by every mail. A number of San Francisco experts and capitalists are bestir- ring themselves in looking for profit able investments and opportunities to devclope enterprises. The con trast from the condition of the Ter ritory since the editorial cores pondcnce of the Post drew close at tention to its very remarkable min cral and other natural advantages some thirteen months since is very great indeed. Population is rapid ly increasing, especially in Mohave, Pima and Pinal counties-the north western, southeastern and central portions of the Territory. Tucson and the valley of the Santa Cruz,
Salt River herald., 1878-08-03

to the south, are being largely ben efttcd. Eastern capital has flowed into that section 10 the amount of over S1,O0O,OOO since the Aztec syndicate for working the rich min. eral lodes of the Santa Rita moun- tains was first formed. The prop crty has passed into the hands of body of wealthy Philadelphians, who intend working it as a perma- nent enterprise. The stock of the two incorporated mincs-the Aztec and Inca-is held for investment and not speculation. The origina- tors of the Aztec are now putting upon the market, under the desig- nation of the Toltcc Mining Syndi- cate, a group of ten selected mines. two of which are being worked at this time. Dr. R. F. Burgess, well-known citizen of Los Angeles, has just returned from a three months tour of the indicated region. He visited a large nnmber of mining districts. found vast numbers of prospectors locating claims and searching for more, and confirms all previous reports of the richness of the Aztec, Toltec and Tombstone mines.
 Tie great need of the Territory is mining machinery. There is ore enough on the dumps for all the mills that can be erected in twelve months. The Tombstone District lies on the western slope of the fla nous Dragoon mountains. Messrs. Haggin X Tevis have invested largely therein. A body of Con necticut and Indiana capitalists have recently formed at Waterbury, Connecticut, q company for devel- oping and working a number of mines and locations in the Santa Rita mountains, the Arivaca and Gro Blanco districts. These enter prises are all taking capital in. The The Toltec Syndicate of Tucson and this city has reoccupied the famous Hacienda del Santa Rita.
 Arizona is to be congratulated on her prospects. The news is good from all parts of the Territory. Population, prospectors and capital are moving, especially from the East in her direction.-San Francisco Post.

A Good Word for Arizona.

Arizona is beginning to attract considerable attention in the East, and letter writers are giving glowing accounts of its mineral wonders. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gu zette is especially enthusiastic over the mineral developments of that Territory, and draws exciting pie lures of its future. He declares that to be richer in precious metals than any other section of the country. Its wealth in silver and gold, he says, is not new discovery, the "region having been known for 300 years as essentially q silver country. Before St. Augustine, Florida, was settled, before the Pilgrim Fathers landed on Plymouth Rock, the Jesuit Fathers had pushed out into Arizona on the pathway pioneered by the followers of Cortcz, and there established Missions. They discovered silver there, but with their crude methods, uncertain pur- poses, and the Apache violence. which has reddened Arizona with Spanish, Mexican and white blood for three centuries, mining was not vigorously prosecuted. To-day old arastras on which Mcxicans years ago crushed ore by dragging q stone around a circular water-tight com pertinent, with blindfolded mule for motive power, can be seen, and slag from Mexican furnaces lies scattered on the mountains of southern Arizona. The time which has elapsed since these workings, is suggested by the fact that in the interval, great mesquit trees of a notably slow growth have since grown up. Anderson, in his Slrer country, quotes from "Ward's His tory of Mexico, written in 1927, as follows : We have the following record in evidence of tho masses of pure silver extracted in Southern Arizona Dom Domingo Asmendi paid duties on a piece of virgin silver which weighed 275 pounds. The King brought suit for the duties on the several other pieces, which together weighed 4,O33 pounds; also, for the recovery as a curiosity, and therefore the property of the King, of certain piece of silver of the weight of 2,700 pounds. This is probably the largest piece of pure silver ever found in the world. .'-VWgima Enterprise.

Keep Straight Ahead.

Pay no attention to slanderers
and gossip-mongers. Keep straight
on in your course, and let their
backbiting die the death of neglect.
What is the use of lying awake at
night brooding over the remark of
some false friend, that runs through
your brain like lightning? What is
the use of getting into worry and
fret over gossip that has been set
afloat to your disadvantage by some
meddlesome busy body who has
more time than character? These
things cannot possibly injure you
unless, indeed, you take notice of
them, and in combating them give
standing and character. If what is
said about you is true, set yourself
right; if it is false, let it go for what
it would fetch. If bee sting you,
would you go to the hive to destroy
it? Would not a thousand come
upon you? 1t is wisdom to say
little respecting the injuries you
have received. We are generally
losers if we stop to refute all the
backbitirg and gossiping we hear
by the way. They are annoying, it
is true, but not dangerous, so long
as we do not stop, to expostulate
and scold. Our characters are
formed and sustained By ourselves by
our own actions and purposes, and
not by others. Let us always bear
in mind that "calumniators may
usually be trusted to time and the
slow but steady justice of public
opinion"

Needed Reforms.

The people of Tennessee should
not let one great Issue turn their at
tention from all others. There are
doubtless many matters, though OF
MINOR Importance to that of our
State debt, which need to be looked
after by our Legislators. Our road
laws, as at present enforced. are in
adequate, and should be thoroughly
overhauled; there are some minor
amendments t. our present school
law, which, if made, would perhap~
render TIE system more perfect,
while there are several criminal
statutes need revising, especially
the one against carrying deadly
weapons. The law should either
be repealed or made more rigid.
As at present administered and
constred. it lis a dead letter.
Make the offense of carrying a pis-
tol as great as that of carrying a
bowie knife, and but few violators
of the law will be found. But with
low minimum fines and a judiciary
disposed to remit even that amount,
the dockets of our courts will be
ever clogged with such often SEES,
and our court terms heightened by
law which is practically doing no
good Exchange.

Democratic Economy.

In recent interview. Hon. J. C.
). Blackburn, Of Kentucky. has
made careful statement of the re-
ductions made by Democratic Rep.
resentatives in the expenditures OF
the Government. From this state
ment, which is compiled from the
records of Congress, it is seen that
IN the appropriation for the wears
1877, 1878, and 1879. the democrat
ic House has succeeded in saving
more than $SS,000,0O0 as compared
with the republican Senate, which
refused TO pass the bills as they
originally came from the House. a
saving of over $ll4,000, 900 would
have been effected, over the three
years preceding, and SI43, 0OO. 600
under the estimates made by the re
publican Secretaries. IL should be
remembered that this much of the
peoples money was saved, in spite
of the protests of republican Con
gresmen, who did all in their power
to impede democratic retrenchment.
Had It not been for the democratic
majority in the House, no effort
would have been made by Congress-
to curtail the expenses of the Gov
eminent, or afford any relief to the
people.
