The yield of gold In the Blacks Hill country,
according TO evidence before the Committee
on Territories of the House Of Representa-
lives, is enormous, averaging $1,Ooo,o0o per
been discovered, and also oil Of such supe-
rior quality that in it's natural state 1t can be
used in lubricating machinery. The whole
region Is covered with fine timber. Already
a population of 25,OOO has settled within its
limits. During the past year 2O,OO0, coo pounds
of freight were carried by the Bismarck route
alone to the hills Two railroads are soon to
be built to the hills, one from Bismarck to

An extraordinary financial event, in small
way, Is the appreciation Of the greenbaek In
San Francisdo above gold, for small pay
ments. The San Francisco Bulletin says that
but for fear Of some kind Of paper expan-
sion grcenbacks would soon pass into circu-
lation in California. They have for some
time been more valuable there than subsidi
airy silver Greenbacks have been sold for
per cent premium i'm silver. AS the premium
on gold, at the same time, as based on sub
sdiary silver, was only 240 per cent, 1t fol-
lows that on small transactions greenbacks
are moro valuable than gold. This apprecia-
ton has restricted the use Of tho notes in
postofIlce circles, subsidiary silver being used
instead, go far as possible The operation re-
suits IN sending this coin to the Office Of the
sub-treasurer, and thus relieving the market
from portion of the heavy discount. The
late appreciation in subsidiary silver has been
OF the most permanent character in San
Francisco, and the discount Is now smaller
than 1t has been in over two years.

A bill is now pending before Congress to
define the status of a large number of land
grants for railroad purposes, which have OK
pired by limitation, the roads not having been
constructed rs agreed and prescribed by law
The Secretary of the Interior has urged that
some action be taken to enforce tho forfeiture
or extend the time of building the roads. The
former action would work great hardship
upon many settlers who have gone upon the
lands, but at present there is no escape for
them.

WHAT TO TEACH Our CHILDREN.-Too
many of our our farmers commit a grave er-
ror in educating their children for some one
of the "learned professions" instead of for
their own. The boy is told that he is to be
a lawyer, physician or a minister, and in
his youthful thoughtlessness, he thinks this
will be "jolly" as there is, in his belief, little
labor and much leisure in these vocations.
Fitness for the station is a secondary consid-
Grafton, and it is often discovered, when too
late, that life has been wasted, an immor-
tai mind ruined past redemption.
Do not suppose that education for farmers
children is not necessary and desirable, for
it is. But the curriculum of the school
must be varied for the purpose. Chemistry,
botany, geology and kindred sciences should
take front rank, and not, as now, be regarded
as secondary studies. With proper appara-
tus and earnest teachers, the boy will find
such studies intensely interesting, and thus, by
degrees, all unconsciously, he learns to love
the vocation of his father, and finds, sometimes
to his own surprise, that there is real pleas.

"There's place down town where you can

EXPERIMENTS IN Corn PLANTING.-.Ab bout
twenty-five years ago, DR.. Parker, in the vi
cinity of Columbia, S. c., planted corn on
upland AKA feet, 2,700 stalks to the acre,
and gathered % bushels.
In his second experiment, he planted feet
by 10 inches, 400 stalks to the acre, and
gathered 147 bushels.
In his third experience, he planted % feet
by ten 10 inches-a trife over 2square feet to
the stalk, 81 900 stalks to the acre, and gath
cred 200 bushels.
There are 43,56O square feet in acre.
These experiments indicate that the limit Of
crowding corn has not yet been reached; but
it must be remem bered, that the propriety of
thus crowding depends much upon the char.
acter of the soil, its strength and moisture
Low, rich moderately damp lands will bear
crowding the best, while it would scarcely be
profitable to crowd beyond the first experiment
above, on high rolling, or fiat sandy soils,
Whenever crowding is done, richness and
moisture must be present.
