Iron lands may be patented under
the mining acts Of Congress. Where
the iron is found in lodes or veins, or
in rock in place, the proceedings to
obtain patent are the same as those
prescribed in the mining act of May
10, 1882, in case Of vein or lode claims.
Where the iron is not found in rock
in place, the proceedings to obtain
government title are the same as those
prescribed by said act in case Of plac-
er claims.
Judge Gerry, Of Colorado, decides:
A vein, lode or ledge may be defined
to be ga body of mineral or mineral
bearing rock within defined bounda-
ries in the general mass of the noun
tains,' Or may be any mineralized
zone or belt situated and lying within
the general mass Of the mountain, and
rock in place is simply the general
body Of the mountain as distinguished
from the wash-side, or debris which
usually overlies the same, Lodes
above defined may be in place when
not actually surrounded or incased in
the country rock. The same may be
ncased in cells, chambers, caves or
Il depressions-usually known as lenti-
cular deposits-or may be even on
the surface Of the body Of the noun
tam, but in each case it must have a
hXed, certain definite location as an
integral part Of that portion OF the
Il 8eneaal body Of the mountain which
is not composed Of slide or debris

A contemporary writer ssysit is prin-
cipally because Of the coneeit Of weak
and foolish parents who could not think
Of allowing their boys to soiltheir hands
with manual labor or tarnish their pedi
gree by associsting with common work
men. Many and many q young man
have / known whose aptitudes called TO
him with all the imperious demands OF
instinct to learn q trade, but he was
prevented from doing so by his parents,
who preferred 10 see him filing the
more important aud dignified position
Of clerk, often working fifteen hours a
day for Sl5 per mon.h, and sometimes
| yielding to the small temptation TO leave
unpaid his ~tailor's and washecwoman's
bills. Or, if he escaped the clerkship,
he was almost sure to be found among
the luckless ninety-and- mine profession
al men who stand of and
eye with green envy the
one in the round hundred who has
made a success. 1t IS not the lack Of
attention TO the new workman that is
lowering the standard in mechanical
trades, but the folly of parents Ia clos
ing the doors of the trades in the face
Of their sons, and in the absence OF
good material we get bad. Ii is very
often the case hat we get hold Of a boy
who has few or no qualifications, natural
or acquired, Tor q trade, but he can
probably make more money at that than
AZ common labor, and, as we can get no
better, we have to do the best we can.
There is no doubt we are getting poor
er subjects every year for apprentices
for this very reason. But we can reach
a point so low that it is impossible TO
get any lower, and / believe we have
about reached that point in some lines
Of business. Some parents. and boys
too, are at last getting their eyes opened
They are learning that they cannot
plant dudes and raise men. Many
bubbles have been pricked, and
much gliding has worn through. La
Dor is becoming more dignified, because
more than even before it is welded to
thought. The manual training-schools
which are springing up in nearly all of
our large cities are giving instruction
10 many boys whose parents, perhaps,
would not at first consent to them en-
tering the shops. These schools are
doing a good work in teaching the prin-
ciples of trldes, in fostering a genuine
love fer mechanics, and in pointing out
the way 10 the special field where the
young man can labor with the assurance
Of receiving his highest reward. With
such Frightening prospects as the work
Of the manual training school warrants
we see no reason for fearing that the
race Of good workmen in any trade will
soon die ont. On the contrary, we be-
lieve we viii see mechanics increasing
in numbers and skill from year toyear.

Early Pig Pasture.

What is it best TO SOW for an early
pasture for pigs, the coming summer,
on a prairie soil newly broken2
Ans.-It is not advisable to pasture
some grasses at all, or TO pasture very
early, the same season the seeds sown;
but the best you can do is to SOW four
pounds Of Orchard Grass, six pounds
White Clover, four pounds Kentucky
Blue Grass and IL pounds Red clover
seed to the acre. To this you might
add three pounds of Northern Red Top.
The White Clover is very early and is
closely followed by Kentucky Blue
Grass and Orchard Grass. Harrow
the ground well and brush in The seeds.
II you a do this just before a rain all
the better. All the seeds mentioned
may be sowntogethern the early spring.
You might SOW a patch OF rye for pas
ture to ease the grass, but the success
of this you can best determine for your
self.-Ruraf New Yorker.
