HAYWARD CRY, D. T., May %, rs.
Correspondence Press and Dakotaian.
The Hayward mill cleaned up yesterday
Ss64.00 from 40 tons of ore from the Red
Cloud cement lode, situated one-half mile
above the town. The mine and mill are
owned by John Verrigg & Co. This estab.
fishes the fact that the southern psft of the
Hills are rich. We have hundreds of acres
of cement as rich as the Red Cloud, and
recent assays on vertical leads in this part
of the country show that they are richer
than any thing yet struck in the northern
country. 1t is claimed by experts that the
Hayward mill does not save over 40 per
cent. of the gold, as the tailings prospect as
we'll as the quartz. When they get in their
pans settles and ~arastras they will do much
better.
Mill men from Deadwood and Central
City and other places are coming here daily,
looking for chances to locate their mills.
Work on the Chicago mill (twenty
stamps) will begin next week. Tkis mill is
to crush ore from the Dakota lo9e, recently
sold to the parties owning the mill.
D. N. Ely is negotiating for q twenty
stamp mill to crush ore from the Yankton
lode.
Messrs. Ely, Preshoe & Leighton received
an assay = few days ago from Prof. Saunders
on rock taken from the Gen. Custer lode,
giving as = result S1s 90 in gold S24.16 in
silver and $500 in platinum, \ total of
S46.16. The Picton lode, owned by Scott,
Ely, Brunn & Switzerland, assays S39 80 in
gold, silver and platinum, both vertical
lodes.
The Sleeping Beauty, owned by W. s.
Mead, Of Springfield, D. T., assayed s56.4o
in gold and platinum. Mr.. Mead has taken
up a mill-site and surveyed q road from the
lead to the creek, about one mile distant.
There is a good deal of excitement and
quite a stampede for Harney's peak and the
granite range near the peak. Our worthy
citizens Fred. J. Cross and w. c. King
were just ready 10 join the stampede yester.
day, when Deputy Marshal Ely dropped in
on them with . subpoena for them for the U.
s. grand jury. Fred was inclined to, and
did some wild kicking. Court sits on the
4th of June. Neither Marshal Raymond
nor Campbell have arrived, but are expect
ed daily.
The sore heads of Deawood are doing
some tall kicking in trying to Dust Judge
Bennett. They can't buy the judge, 30 As .
matter Of course they want him removed.
1t is a great pity that Deadwood cannot be
surveyed off into a little territory by her
self and every lawyer hold = government
Office. They could then buy and sell each
other and We would have less kicking.

Indian Commissioner Hayt writes q let.
ter to the Sioux City Journal In which he
denies the published charge that he said to
E. E. Hudson that he (Hudson) and DR..
Livingston were murderers. The commits
sioner gives in his explanation in the fol
lowing words:
Mr.. Hudson came TO Washington to ob
tain the release OF his goods, which had
been seized for trading with the Indians
without a license. In violation OF the law.
Senator Davis and Delegate Kidder called
with him at this office, and asked in his be-
half that he should have a fair hearing. AZ
ter considering the case as presented, Mr..
Hudson was told that in order 10 get him
such q hearing the case against him had
been referred by this Office to the courts in
Dakota.
The other side of the story as related, and
insisted upon as the truth, by Mr.. Hudson
is that on the occasion which brought out
the obnoxious language from the commits.
sioner Delegate Kidder was with him n
the Indian Office. Judge Kidder was inter-
ceding in behalf of Mr.. Hudson. endeavor-
ing to secure for him q fair hearing in his
own behalf. The commissioners reply was
that both Mr.. Hudson and DR.. Livingston
were guilty Of fraud. This was preiudine
q case about which the commissioner had
no knowledge beyond the statements filed
by Gen. Hammond, which have already
fallen through. The commissioner then
said: "There is o terrible state of affairs
ut that agency (Crow Creek). They have
murdered u man there who was the most
important witness against this fraud and
corruption" Thus it stands. Hudson and
Livingston were openly accused, by the
commissioner, of fraud. The commissioner
openly said that Haakker was murdered be-
cause he was an important witness against
that fraud. What other inference can be
drawn than that Hudson and Livingston
were the parties against whom this charge
was made?

ment or damp of the grass, wherever she
may walk, as having shortened thousands
of lives in Europe and even more in
America. Combined with these we now
have the high heels, which in short
period convert the feet into shapeless
deformity, not much more available for
the purposes of healthful exercise than
the "mere pedal Jumps" of the Chinese
women-not to mention other and more
distressing evils which the unnatural
position in walking entails upon the sex.
An experienced shoemaker informs us
that between tig Int boots and high heels,
he scarcely knows lady of fifty who has
what he can call foot, at all-they are
shapeless clubs; and the best read physi-
clans tell us that from the same causes,

Disrespect in the Family.

One of the greatest evils known in the
family circle is the disrespect so fire.
quently shown between members, one tc
another, in speech, action and dress.
The gruff eyes" or "no" of husband
to wife, in answer TO pleasant query
leads to unpleasant consequences, and
begets cold, calculating style of address
on either side, which sooner or later is
adopted by the younger members, and
the love and affection which should
dwell within is dispelled like dew before
the morning sun. The Indifference often
shown in little acts of duty, and the
manner in which they are performed,
seem to carry the expression: "Tm glad
that's out of the way; don't trouble me
again." In dress and personal appear
ance the husband goes unkempt and
unshaven, and the wife slipshod and
shabby. Anything is good enough for
home when there are no strangers about.
Thus are the habits of disrespect formed,
and one of the great dangers of home
life bred and fostered. Many OF us have
seen the play of " Flannigan's Home"
where Pat comes tumbling into the
house at dusk, dumps his hod in one
corner, his hat and coat in another,
kicks the cat through the window,
damns Biddy, swears the grub isn't eft
for a man to eat" and raises a general
row all round. 1t is good thing for the
well-to-do in life to study the character
of the extremists of the lower strata and
ask themselves if there is not room for
improvement in their own more preten-
tioushomes.
Some homes are full of love and SUM
shine for strangers, and all ugliness and
gloom for the ones for whom they live.
To constitute truly happy home there
should be pretty little personal adorn.
ments on the part OF the wife, who
thereby shows desire to please her hus
band, and to add to the general attrac-
tions of her home. A pleasant word on
her part, when the overworked man
comes home, often eats away the raw
edge Of some trouble on his mind, and
draws out a corresponding desire to be
both agreeable and respectful, which
characteristics are always accompanied
by affection. What is true of manners
is true of dress also. Rudeness, rough
ness and jmpatience are soon followed by
insolence, and when sweet temper gives
way to anger and discord the home circle
is no longer attractive.

together all the while, and they killed in
the aggregate twelve men.
The record Of our war of the rebellion
is equally discouraging for the sword
swingers. Out of 253,14 wounds re-
corded on the union side during the four
years contest, there were only 9O6 in
fiicted by either sabre, sword or bayonet,
and Of these only 50 were fatal. In the
Franco, German war less than one in
800 of the wounded suffered from sabre
Or bayonet and in our own war there
was only about one in 279.
These facts have inspired General Ben
net, chief of the United States ordnance
bureau, to write letter to the secretary
OF war suggesting that it is time to
Danish such useless weapons from the
army. "In my mind" he writes,
there exists not doubt that the days
OF the sabre and bayonet are numbered,
and that the only question to be decided
is, whether the time is not already at
hand when they should be discarded"
General Sherman concurs, stating that
it is probably time that their use, or,
rather, their disuse, were discontinued;
and Phil Sheridan, says: "The cavalry

Spl ingield rife; then good revolving
pistol and knife. Evidently the days
of sabre and bayonet are numbered.
They both did good work when they
were young. The sword is mentioned
more than three hundred times in the
bible, and it has been the aristccratic
weapon of all ages. In the early times,
when men were brutes and fought foot
to foot, the sword was far the most
effective arm of every military service.
The bayonet was invented near Bayonne, !
in France, whence its name, about two
hundred and forty years ago, and was at |
first a sword whose handle was stuck |
into the barrel of musket. 1t super
seeded the pike, and was very useful in
the old days OF short-range point-blank
fighting. It is the improved artillery,
the carbine and the repeating rifle that
have rendered swords, sabres, and bay

precision and various death dealing de.
vices have united to relegate all weapons
which imply personal contact to the old

Shall sabres be Mustered Out 9

It begins to look as if sword and
bayonet were to be mustered out OF
service and regarded as no longer dan
gerous. They have been for centuries
almost ideal weapons; they have given
visible picturesaueness TO armies and
lent eloquence to the orator and poet.
Now they are themselves the object of
an attack which seems likely to cause
their withdrawal from "the field OF
poised battle" 1t has long been sus-
pected that the bayonet was very
harmless sort of braggart, and now the
sword must answer to the same indict-
ment.

PREPARING Wool for Market

Walter Brown & Son, New York, send
to the Utica Herald the following sound
suggestions on what is necessary for
wool growers if they would secure better
price:
There is no doubt that the wool of
New York state is, in strength, texture
and working qualities, equal to any grown
in this country, and the whole reason
why it is sold in the markets 90 much
lower than woods from Ohio, is on account
of the great loss in shrinkage from dirt
and grease, in preparing it for the cards
at the mill
The first point considered by the man.
ufacturer in bnying his raw material, is
the probable cost of the wool scorched,
and the nearer the wool is brought
to that consideration, when he ex>
amines it, the mere surely can he
calculate that cost, and the more willing
pay the intrinsic value for such woods,
"hOAV oAC CbSACCS VI AlSOdACu
ment are diminished, than for greasy,
heavy parcels, on which it is more diff
cult for him to calculate the loss in
shrinkage.
Another feature of the case which the
growers should consider, is that with
heavy, half washed feeces, when some
months elapse before they 90 into con-
sumption, the grease becomes "set" in
the staple, and the additional trouble and
expense to the manufacturer in render
ing them clean must naturally reflect
back upon the grower. In this connec-
ton we would mention that the farmer
should not let his sheep run too long af-
ter washing and before shearing, other
wise the grease will start out again and
in time give the wool a yellow and un.
lightly appearance.

FARM AND HOME.
Wheat and Corn Production.

Wne6t ana SoIH 7 touuCtoIl
Mr.. Joseph Harris makes the following
remarkHin the Agricultural "a bushel
of corn and stalk" said the doctor, econ
tains about three~fourths pounds of phos.
phoric acid, and a bushel of wheat and
straw about the same amount. And we
shall not be far wrong in assuming that
a bushel of wheat and straw contains one
and halt of nitrogen, and bushel of corn
and slower about the same. Why given
piece of land that will only grow, with>
out manure, fifteen bushels of wheat will
grow thirty bushels of corn, is question
that, at present, cannot be answered.
You need more experiments, and Plof.
Atwater is entitled to great credit for
what he is doing in this direction"
Gall of which," said the deacon ironi~
cally," is wonderfully interesting. As
sumo, for the time being, that the reason
is because the corn, growing in warmer
weather. and perspiring freely, can drink
much: larger quantity of water. If it
sucks up twice the water from the soil,
it would get twice the amount of phos~
phoric acid, nitrogen, and potash. This
is easy enough to understand, and you
may as well take it for granted and 60 on
with your story" every WE'LL" said /,
"then it follows that (D if corn and wheat
brought the same price, corn would
be a much more profitable crop for the
chemical farmer than wheat. The
wheat might leave m ore than half the
chemicals in the ground, while corn
might take up twothirds or more
Of them. (2), 1t follows, too, that land
may be much more rapidly and COM
ptetely impoverished by growing corn
than by growing wheat; but (3), on the
other hand, it the crop is fed out on the
farm, corn can be used to great advan-
tage in developing and increasing the fer
tility of the farm. 1t will gather up the
nitrogen, phosphoric acid, potash, etc.,
from very weak solutions in the land,
and when the crop is fed to animals, from
so 10 95 per cent. of the valuable ingre.
dients of plant food will be left in the
manure, and the manure can be used for
growing crops which need larger supply
of plant.food in the soil, and which com.
mand q higher price,"
St. Landry democrat., 1878-05-18

w. H. Oliver, of Newbern, N. c.,
writes to the Maryland Farmer:
The cotton>seed business is going to
almost revolutionize the south. The
seed is now used almost entirely for
manure. After the oil is pressed and
the cake fed to stock, the amount of
manure will be vastly increased.
A farmer now takes enc ton of seed
and putsit on two acresof land, and it will
produce him a fair crop of cotton for
one season. No effect after the first
season.
A farmer takes ton of cotton-seed to
an oil press; be gets from it thirty-two
gallons OF oil, worth as it comes from the
press in crude state, forty cents, $3.50.
He also gets eight hundred pounds Of
oil cake; this cake is very superior, far
ahead Of linseed oil cake, it being sweet
and palatable.
This eight hundred pounds Of cake fed,
say to only one mich COW, will increase
her milk immensely, and the manure
which he gets from this one COW will do
him four-fold the good he would have
gotten from the seed used as they now are.
If one ton of seed will do this, see the
increased amount of good that may be
done with the 1900, 900 tons of seed,
which are annually raised in the south.
There ID sufficient to feed all the mich
Cows in this country.
If the farmer may get $3.50 worth OF
oil and eight hundred pounds of rich
cake from q ton of cotton seed, it ia very
desirable to make the exchange. All the
cake that cotton seed will make should
be fed to southern stock for their inn
provement, and all their enriched drop-
pings should be husbanded and carefully
applied to fertilize the soil.
