y EhI>iunn Gn,o,ro.-IL is mull
known fact that mixed crops are more pro.
ductivc than those sown singly. Thus one
acre sown to oats and barley, or oats and
peas, will yield rs much, or nearly as much,
us two acres sown singly to either crop
so in grass lands, Clover and Timothy,
mixed, will produce nearly twice as mucA
as if the grounl were seeded to one Of these
alone. 1t is also 4 well known fact, that
our grass lands are not 30 productive rs We
could wish. and the reason of this may BE-,
and probnbly is, that we have bat one or
two kinds Of hcrbagc in them. Ir we ox-
anime an old, thick, luXuriant sod in a
pasture or a meadow, it will be found to
consist Of Il variety Of grasses and other
plants, each Of which seems to vic with the
other in occupying the soil for itself This
is the result of natural seeding, and gives
us 4 lesson which we may well profit by
There is another reason why grasses should
be mixed this is that the periods Of great.
est vigor Of different varieties occur ut dis.
iercnt times. We can therefore secure a
succession Of herbagc for a long season by
sowing variety of grass seeds.
TO give examples, we might mention that
a mixture Of Orchard Grass, Red Glover,
Timothy, and Kentucky Bluc.Grass will
produce . pasture which will be in good
condition for grazing from April, when the
first mentioned grass is in iinc condition.

quantity of Rye grass added to Il meadow

bagc which rapidly and constantly recupcr,
atcs after cutting or eating down.
The fact is that We make much less OF
our advantages in regard to our meadows
and pastures than We might. On the aver
age, seven acres Of pasture are required t
keep one COW through the pasturing season
when by the best management one acre, oI
at the most two, ought to be sufficient
This is due in great measure to the prcva

There may be men in Eureka who pos
sess as much energy and go-a-headative-
ness as Charley Fiske, but there certainly
are none who can surpass him. On the
night Of the fire. before his place was en-
tirely burned, he had sec1red a new loca-
ton and was running by daylight. On
Sunday morning he served his boarders
with breakfast in bis temporary quarters
above the Courthouse. and by noon he
had moved, bag and baggage, to his new
building. built on the site Of the one de-
stroyed by the fire, and dinner was served
without delay or Inconvenience to custom
ers. His new house is modelled after the
old one, in its principal points. The kitch-
en- is larger and more perfect in its ar
rangements, and there is now an entrance
on Bncl street. In about one week the
confectionery will be opened and the entire
establishment running as serenely as Of
yore.

bury, the mighty Assessor Of White Pine
county, arrived in town late on Sunday
evening last, and, As might be expected, he
met many Of his old friends from Ward.
One Of the party said
Wash, what are you doing here ?"
"Wby, assessing, Of course. l work I:
you fellers toll not, neither do you spin.
Why, ! have assessed all the way from
Ward up to Eiko, and all the lower part o!

Why, by the time / am through assessing

OF my ambition to put a steamer on that

light and, think Of the sweet peace and
satisfaction l will have when laid away on
the hillside at Hamilton, to know that my
children have placed on my tombstone the
glowing inscription !: Here lies our father.
He did build the first steamboat that ever
did ply on White River" Nothing like it,

The worthy official, when told that Eu-

Finally g. W. W. remarked. in the YER

The London /" Mining Journal" Of Nav

the new Companies seeking the support OF
capitalists is the Connolly Mine, which
has been formed with q capital Of eco, 900,
in shares OF Is zach, to purchase for f45.-

Milling Company in the well known Con-
molly mine, situated in the Eureka Mining
District, Nevada. aad close to the cele-
brated Richmond, Eureka Consolidated
aud other rich mines, together with the
valuable hosting machinery, drill and
other appurtenances. The shares in The
British Mining d Milling Company Linn

shareholders. who have spent a large sum
Of money. and. as they believe, fully proy-
cd the great value Of the property. tbev
require farther capital to sink deeper and
provide machinery for raising the consid-
cradle quantities of ore now in 81 .ht. Can
tain Drake, Manager Of the Eberhardt
Mining Company, states that the property
Is on the same great ore channel as the
Richmond, the Eureka Consolidated and
other good mines and that il funds are
provided to open up the mine systematic
ally, the outlay would shortly be returned
with o handsome profit. Captain Richard,
Manager Of the Richmond Mining Com
pany, also states that he estimates the
amount required to explore the properly
800 feet deeper at 81, 900, and by tile ap-
pearance of the present lower workings the
property will justify the expenditure Of a
much larger sum, 1t would appear from
the prospectus, which appears in another
column, that ore 10 the valne Of about
fl6,UO0 was raised from the mine during
last year. Estimating the output of the
present year according to past returns,
there would be sufficient to pay a hand
some dividend on tie small capital Of this
Company, but with the increased means
now proposed to be raised for further de-
veloping this valuable property, a much
larger output may reasonably be looked
for, and consequently a large dividend
may confidently be expected"
