KILLING vs.. DRILLING Corn -
"Waldo" says, in the Ohio Far
mer, that the mole he experiments
with it the less he likes drilled corn
Ii he could always do the blowing
himself and choose his own tools,
he could get field Of drilled corn
tended well. but it is hard to get
hands to dol rightly. He is sat
isfied that there will be less corn
drilled in the next five years than
in the past five. In travelling o"
the cars, three or four years ago, he
paid careful attention to the corn
and found it the rule to drill and
the exception to hill. Recently !"
travelling he counted one hundred
fields, eighty-three of which were
hilled and seventeen drilled.

OF the latter. Young pigs while

Those interested in mines should cal at the store of Kelly X Stephens, and ex
 ,mine large piece of carbonate orc brought in by Mir. T. NJ. Alexander last
 saturday from the camp of the Bodis Mining Company, on the east fork of the Hassayampa, about twenty miles south of Prescott Mir. A. informs us that the ore in question is an average of solid mass of ore, over seven feet wide. The leposit was found 8 week ago, and a ;rosscut started on it at once. The cut IS in twelve feet in vein matter and has not reached the back wall yet, but al sight feet in depth shows seven feet oi .olid ore. The property was located in 1865 and called the Washburn, but had oeen abandoned several years, when Messrs Farnham, Spence ard others To- cated it anew last year. Much impressed with the value of the property, Dr. Earn Iam went to New York, got some of bis friends to take hold of 1t and came back in December to commence work. He now has shaft sixty feet deep, showing a vein six feet wide, carrying q foot of ,olid galena ore, assaying over s20O in ,old and silver, and about 45 per cent. lead, and hss other prospect holes and cuts at intervals along the vein, showing ore for four thousand feet. This recent discovery is twelve hundred feet north of the main shaft, and at once places the property in the front rank of the best mining prospects in this section. Dr, Farnham deserves success as well as credit for persevering in opening these claims in the middle of the winter under many obstacles, and we hope he has struck his nile
