Small Business.

The Albion some time since constructed
q road to their mine across a portion OF
the Richmond surface ground. 1t made
an easy grade to the Albion works and was
several hundred yards shorter. The Rich
mond rolled a big rock into the road at one
time and at another constructed a board
fence across it. Thereupon the Albion pc
titioned the Board Of County Commits
sioners TO declare the road a public high
way. The Commissioners called the
Superintendent Of the Richmond and
asked him il he had any reason to assign
why the petition should not be granted.
The Superintendent said he would look
into the matter and see whether it affected
injuriously his company. Failing to APP
pear, the Board at their last meeting
caused an order to be entered dedicating
the road to the public to use as a highway.
Now it seems that the Richmond is con-
structing a house squarely across the said
highway. This is rather small business,
and will so strike every fair-mindel man
in the community. Fight as hard as you
please in the Courts, gentlemen, but in the
name OF decency do not have recourse to
such petty work as this. 1t is beneath the
dignity Of anybody. much less a great min
ing company.

Tho TIP Top Line.

Judge Rising in his decision awards the
Richmond Company everything east of the
Tip Top line extended. Just how this
line will affect the ore body in dispute is
the question Of deepest concern to the
public. The Richmond people say they
take 1t all. The Albion people and Super
intendent Read Of the Eureka Con, deny
this, claiming that the ore on its dip goes
into Albion territory. Superintendent
Read 10 a wholly disinterested witness.

tell anybody, that in his Judgment the Al
bion Is a magnificent mine with the Tip
Top established as the dividing line be-
tween the two companies. Persons inter-

till the prices Of corn declines,
In recent lecture on the art of butter
making, the noted DR.. Voelcker remarked:
1t has been said, with good deal of
truth, that by over n,anuring pasture land
we reduce the fine quality of the butter
made from the milk OF COWS fed upon such
pasture. My belief is that the finest quail
ty Of butter is produced from pasturs which
contains variety of herbs, some Of which
might even be ranked as weeds.
The potato was discussed recently at the
Central New York Farmers Club. The
facts developed in the experience of farm
ers present were that, though soil and sea-
son unquestionably have much to do with
the flavor OF potatoes, the late potatoes re-
tain their favor over winter and into spring
better than early sorts. Prof. Roberts
found that under the same conditions,
small potatoes for seed gave the poorest
result, the middle part Of large potatoes
next, the seed end next, and the stem end
the best. A whole large potato with sim
81 eye is the best possible seed. More work
is needed, but better crop secured By
cultivating iu rows or drills, rather than in
hills.
