There can hardly be a doubt that the supe-
rior taste displayed in the planting and care
of the public parks and private grounds about

influence of the Horticultural societies winch

cities, and have been growing in vigor ana
efficiency ever since Following the good ex-
ample of these olcer organizations. the New
York Society yesterday took definite action
toward furnishing a home for itself, and there
is every prospect that "A Horticultural Hall

WILD OATs.-Some l. or Is years
ago, so the Galena Gazette is in
formed, some one residing in Iowa
county brought some wild oats from
California, where they grow very
extensively without cultivation, and
they were careless!y thrown upon
the grown to see if they would grow
here. The experiment was sue
cess as far as the growing was con-
cerned, as they not ouly grew, but
from this seed they have spread
over a considerable part of Iowa,
Grant and Lafayette counties, where
they have become terrible nui-
sance, as their determinations is al
most impossible. In appearance
they are much like the common oats,
but are utterly worthless for feeding
purposes. On farms where flax has
not been sown they have not ap-
peared, but many pieces of ground
where flax has been raised have had
to be seeded down to grass in CON
sequence of the wild oats coming
up so tbickly that nothing could be
raised on the land, and even then
the oats come up through the sod.
This nuisance is likely TO be more
extensively known to the farmers of
this section, and may prove as great
q pest as the "twitch. grass which
has proved such a great annoyance
in some localities for the past fifteen
or twenty years.

Mn. J. w. BuDD, of Saginaw,
Mich. during the past week has
been exploring these parts in search
of coal prospects, and we are inform
ed that he is thoUrqughiy satisfied
with the outlook. That coal can be
raised in this famous mining dis
trict will be surprise to the major
ity of the people ii not all. The
depth necessary to bore, however,
is placed at from / ,0e0 TO 800 feet,
which is much below the distance
the miners have been accustomed TO
20 in seeking for lead and link ores.
la Penn, where SO much coal has
been taken out, | ,00D feet is said to
be n common depth required before
the goal is reached, and if that's the
only difficulty here lis not going to
stand in the way. Experiment, to
ascertain whether it can be produced
in paying Quantities, is the first step
needed but what will be done, time
alone can reveal. Should a prospect
ing company be organized, which
we understand is essential for furth-
er movements, and the enterprise
prove successful, the advantage to
Mineral Point gained thereby would
be greater than is possible to state.
