SPONTANEOUS IGNITION OF msx.

A case of what seemed to be sponta-
neous combustion in a hav NOV oc-
eurred at North Amherst, Mass, in
July last, and the questions are asked /:
Are such occurrences possible, and if
so, are they frequentl Without doubs
it IS possible for hay to ignite sponta-
neously, but it does not often occur.
When last in England we remember to
have passed, In travelling, 4 farmers
premises where the hay ricks had been
burned the night before from sponta-
neous combustion as alleged That
hay may thus ignite, the conditions
must be quite, unusual. We'll cEred.
dry hay is always safe, but that which
is imperfectly cured, or which has been
exposed to rain may become 50 intense
ly heated as 70 char, and ultimately to
ignite. Combustion Is an oxydizing
process, and when the carbon and hy-
drogen of the hay are ia condition
TO attract oxygen rapidly, the temper
atare may reach the point when flames
must spring Ui', and then the work Of
destruction goes on rapidly While
the danger Hof spontaneous combustion
IS not great, still It is possible, and
hencs care should be observed in cur
ing aud storing it.

Az EXPERIENCE n rlowlNc,

know & man who owned a fine
farm which aAs mostly clay He
was a good farmer, plowed deep, and
cultivated thoroughly. He let his
neighbor have field to summer-fal-
low and sow to wheat, and he fal-
lowed an adjoining one. His own
teams were heavy and in fine eohdi-
tion, and he put the plew down 10
an extra depth. The neighbor's
teamss9eTe light and he plowed
shallow, ssWell," said the owner OF
the farm, s'IIe will never get land OF
me again. Such tilhge don't suit
me-" Each sowed about the same
time. Phe winter, was very severe,
and the only wheat this man had on
his farm worth harvesting was that
which the neighbor put in for a
share. Tive Of my neighbors plow-
ed fields adjoining for corn-the soil,
y sand and gravel loan, solid clay
subsoil, equally fertile, aud each well
covered with manure. 6ne~ was an
advocate of deep blowing, and plow-
ed accordingly; the other, believing
the contrary best adapted TO corn,
plowes shallow. The subsequent
tillage was we'll done by each, and
there was harvested over twice as
many bushels to the acre from the
shallow plowed field. UnslerStand-
the conditions were as nearly alike rs
well could be- soil, aaNral fertility
and CULTIVATION, except blowing, were
the same, Now, it stands 10 reason,
that fertiIizing material. should not
be turned under so deep as to be be-
yond the rootlets of the plant. Ex-
perienee teaches me that deep plow-
ing win not do for any kind of a
spring crop. Even a f,llow,
if an old, stiff sod, is better plowed
aDOut seven inches. In the instance
above, the wheat was injured no
more by the winter on the field of
deep culture than on the other, but
the dry, cold weather of the spring
following, there was no nonrishment
within reach of the enfeebled roots.
while with the shallow tillage it was
close at hand when most needed. ]
do not believe in any extremes either
way. But that blowing is deep
enough for me which gives plenty of
mellow earth for a good seed bed,
leaving all plant food as near the sur
face as possible. WIN. ". Wise,

Leadville. Colorado.

According to the Democrat the people
of Davenport have gone raving mad over
this place and are hastily gathering up
their greenbacks and getting there as fast
as possible. Where, it is altogether prob
able, the most of them will leave their
greenbacks and bright dreams ofcoming
home with the fabulous wealth of theCount
of Monte Christo-the walking is very
good in some parts of Colorado. Judge
Grants coming home after a contractor to
build him a residence in Leadyille is prob
ably the prime cause ofthis malady break
ing out at this time and this hegirG OF
capitalists. Among those who nave re-
Gently left are James Thompson, S. +,
Smith, L. G. Dessalnt and A. j. Preston.
This Eldoradoi is situated in the upper Ar
kansas valley,at an altitude of 10000 feet,
being 5000 feet higher than DenYer. 1t
lies on a slope, facing higher mountain,
and looking down the valley. At present
the mining and smelling operations are
rather limited, being more of dIsposi-
ton to sell out claims at fabulous figures
than productive working. There are now
about forty paying mines extricating ore
in the vicinity. Some of these are held
as high as $l,000,000. and it is probable
that some of them have exchanged hands
at this price. 1t is stated that at one camp
or mine $4,000 worth of ore is mined per
day. But as there are only about half a
dozen smelling furnaces in operation at
present there is not an active demand for
the ore. So soon, however, as additional
facilities for smelling are introduced it is
expected that the products of the mines
will be largely increased. 1t is drought
that Leadville will have $4,000 inhabi-
tants In three months from this time. At
present there is no sufficient hotel or
private house accommodations for visitors
there. 1t is pretty high up on the noun
tains, and consequently cold, with snow
a great depth, yet visitors have to sleep
IN wagons, under goods boxes, or any
place where they can get out of the wind
aud storms. Leadville is not on any rail-
road, but has to be rec ehed By stages,
wagons, on foot, and by various expensive
conveyances from Webster, the present
terminus of the Denver and South Park
Railroad, Webster is seventy miles from
Leadvllle, aud the route is over mountain
roads, rough and dangerous. The extern
sion OF the railroad is being prosecuted
as rapidly as men and means can DO it,
but It's construction is slow aud expensive,
yet 1t Is expected that this season the
stage route will be shortened 10 thirty
miles. There is also another railroad
company now organized to build a road
from GeOrpetOWn 10 Ieadville, which II
is proposed to put through this season.
