John S. Harris, ESQ., Z. S. Surveyor Gener

SII:-Rcferring to your letter Of the 18th
ultimo, making enquiry with regard to the
adyisability of ordering surveys for mining
purposes within that portion of the Crow
Indian Reservation which has been restor-
ed to the public domain, have to say that
it is not deemed advisable TO make surveys
Of any kind within the territory named,
until the same shall have been segregated
from the reservation proper. As Congress
has made no provision for the survey and
marking Of the line dividing the reservation
from the lands restored to the public do
main, the Hon. Secretary of the Interior
has been requested to bring the matter to
the attention Of Congress, and to ask for an
appropriation by Congress to cover the ex
pensc of such survey.

Value Of Straw and Roots.

The high price Of hay and grain the
past winter will teach grain-raisers the
value of straw, if they have paid any at
tention to it, in the fodder for their cat
tie. In the Eastern States, when hay
brings a high price the farmers find it
an advantage to sell it when near a fair
market, and buy bran, shorts, and even
meal, to mix up with cut straw, as feed
for cattle and horses, instead of hay.
Corn stalks are also cut up and supple
mented with ground feed, as above
1t is a great mistake on the part of
farmers to burn their straw and stalks,
and to let the ashes be scattered to the
winds, as is often the case. Wheat
growers ought always to keep stock to
eat up their straw, and save the manure
carefully, to spread on their land. In
this way they may keep up and even in
crease the fertility of their soil, instead
of gradually impoverishing it. We
know that the possessOrs of q rich soil
are apt to disregard such course; but,
except in the case of land being so stu
ated as to be annually overiowed by a
river, and fortified by its sediment, the
richest of soils must eventually be made
barren by constant cropping, if no re-
turn is made to keep up its fertility.
Roots also are highly beneficial to
cattle, fed with straw, as is done so
largely in Canada; and it is a question
whether growing and storing them in
many parts of our country may not be
more advantageous than using ensilage,
about which so much has recently been
said. Roots are especially beneficial to
swine. If given as the larger part of
their daily ration, either raw or cooked,
the animals being kept clean and well
sheltered, there will be little danger of
cholera, or, indeed, of any other disease
among them.
American farmers are not so expert
enced in growing roots as the European /;
but such a vast emigration has lately
swarmed upon us that our farmers will
find no trouble in securing good men
capable and willing to do this for them,
eithe-on shares or for moderate wages.

Profit in Onions.

More money can be realized from a
given amount of land in onions, taken
one season with another, than from any
other crop that can be raised. A large
amount of hand labor is required, how
ever, to produce the crop, which must
be put in very early. The labor of old
persons and children can be utilized to
good advantage in raising onions, as
most of the work required is light. The
best land for onions is black muck con-
tanning a good deal of loan. The manure
should be the most thoroughly rOtted
part from the farm-yard. Too much
manure can not be used. 1t should be
well mixed with the soil, say by spread
ing, turning under, and cross narrowing.
This should be done in the fall to secure
the best results. In the spring the
ground should be cultivated and har-
rowed till it is as fine as it can be made.
Then the onion seed should be drilled in
in rows fourteen inches apart. It will
take four or five pounds of seed to the
acre. AS good varieties as any are
yellow Danvers, red Wethersfeld, and
silverslkin. The latter are not good
keepers, but sell well. As soon as the
young onions appear they should be
hoed or cultivated. The great secret in
growing onions is to keep them free
from weeds. Therefore, hoe or cult
vate frequently, though no weeds may
at that moment be above the surface.
When the onions are ripe they should
be pulled and left on the ground till the
tops are dry; then they are gathered
up and bagged for market Chicago

Farm Lawns

Many farmers who keep their fields
in the very best and most attractive
shape, spending a great deal of time in
order to take advantage of practical and
scientific suggestions which are con-
stantly being advanced, are apt to neg
lect the lawn which enhances so much
the beauty of immediate surroundings of
the farmhouse. It may be claimed that
the average farmer is too busy to pay
proper attention to the lawn, but as it is
a thing of beauty, and adds so much to
the comfort and beauty of the place,
farmers certainly ought to devote a
portion of their time to its care. It is
customary in many localities to devote
considerable room to the cultivation of
shrubbery and the smaller varieties of
fruits and trees, and in many instances
the entire front yard is devoted to this
purpose. A vegetable or fruit garden is
of course a necessity, but it should be
located in such way as to allow con-
siderable space for a lawn. Nothing
adds more to the appearance of farm
house than a broad plat of luxurious
green grass, upon which care and taste
displayed. It is at once a pleasing are
sight, and can be made a profitable in-
vestment.-Ch Chicago Tribune.

Mrs. Evans was well-nigh overcome

with the hand-organ again, but they

George, who had money enough and to

Spring Fever.

Persons should not think lightly Of that
feeling of extreme debility, so common in the
spring of the year. It is often the forerunner
of year of i'll health. 1t renders the system
very susceptible to disease, and is caused by
the blood Being filed with poisonous humors.
TIE blood, by all means, should be kept
healthy, otherwise its power to assimilate nu-
tritious food becomes imI aired, and dyspepsia,
iver-complaint, headache, nervous debility,
extreme languor, weak kidneys, want of phys
ical and mental endurance, and general pros
tration is the result. Since prevention is bet
ter than cure. don't wait for the final result of
springtime indisposition, when the first syTpp-
toms of languor are manifested, but begin
using DR.. Guysott's Yellow Dock and Sarsapa-
rilla- AS spring medicine, it exceis all other
remedies, gently but surely expelling the
poisonous blood humors WITH which the sys-
TEN becomes impregnated,. by the incidental
effect Of changeable winter weather. 1t makes
the blood red, rich and pure, causes it TO cir
culate with more vim, enables it to renew the
wasted tissues, and carries strength and
vitality to every weakened part of the human
system, restoring impaired bodily functions,
and checking all decay of the urinary, digest
i've, and pulmonary organs, which, If neglected,
too often ends in a premature grave.

To Whom It may Concern:
In the Rochester, n. Y, Democrat and Chron
icle of December 81, 1881, there appeared a
statement in the form of card from DIR. j. B.
Henton, of this city, recounting his re-
markab.e recovery from Bright's disease OF
the kidneys, after several doctors of promi-
nence had given him up by the use Of a prep
aration manufactured in this city and known
as Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure.
We are personally or by reputation acquaint-
ed with DR.. Henion, and we believe he would
publish no statement not literally true We
are also personally or by reputation well Rc-
quainted with H. III. Warner q Co.. proprie-
tors of this remedy, whose commercial and
personal standing in this community is of the
highest order, and we believe that they would
not publish any statements, which we're not
literally and strictly true in every particular.

VIII you allow the following card, personal
to myself, to appear in your widely-circulated

There was published in the Rochester Demo
crdt and Chronicle of the 31st of December
last, a statement made by J. B. Henion, NJ.
D., narrating how he had been cured of
Brights disease of the kidneys, almost in its
last stages, by the use of Warmers Safe Kid
ney and Liver Cure. l was referred to in that
statement as having recommended and urged
DR.. Henion to try the remedy, which he did,
and was cured
Now the republishing of his statement in
many of the leading journals of the day has
been the cause of an inccssant flow of letters
to me making many inquiries, but chiefly
whether the statement is true, or mere adj
vertising dodge, etc, etc.
/ beg, therefore, to anticipate any further
inquiries and save time and labor, and some
postage, by saying that the statement OF DIR.
Henion is true, so far as it concerns myself,
and believe it to be true in all other re-
spects. He is a parishoner Of mine and
visited him in his sickness. I urged him to
take the medicine and would do the same
again to any one who was troubled with dis
ease of the kidneys and liver.
