There now remains no doubt of the success of the Quijotoa mines, and the speedy resumption of busi- ness and population in the towns about the mines. According to re- cent correspondence, Logan City IS now rapidly filling up. Numerous new buildings are beingput up and those already up being inhabited and repaired. The original great rush to the place built up consider able of a town, but when people dis covered that they were too nasty, the place and improvements were abandoned, and often property costing considerable money was left ownerless. Everything in the place is now being rapidly reclaimed and business in town lots | is once more active. At the depth of AIS feet great abundance of water has been found and well is just being finished up and pipes are being lad from it to Logan City and a stream pump will supply water.-Phenix Herald.

THE Colorado Legislature has resolved to investigate the charge of Senator Hill that he was de- feated by bribery. The charge is probably well founded, but Hill can get back a great deal of the money he lost by his defeat if he bets that the Legislative Investi- gating Committee will not find the guilty ones.

Hon. s. M. Franklin, of Pima county, who is acknowledged to be one of the leaders in the lower house of the present Arizona Leg islature, is thus referred to by the able Prescott correspondent of the Phenix Herald: As speaker, Mir. Franklin is pleasing and graceful; he is not brilliant nor rhetorical, but he uses good language and seeks to get at the gist of a ques- ton without using superfuous verbiage. In speaking he uses few gestures, his delivery being quiet but self-possessed. MT Franklin has the reputation of being a strong anti-monopolist, and has already introduced a bill to regu- late freights and fares. In the early part of the session he re ceived the title of "watch dog o1 the treasury" but the pressure was too great and the title would scarcely be appropriate now Personally, he is pleasant and gen tlemanly in manners. He is mol much given, as are many of his col leagues, to hearing the chimes d midnight or carmining the munici pality. He is an industrious legis lator and will show a good recort when the session is over.

The attention Of farmers and agricultur.
lists throughout the country, says Thu
Time, Of London, has recently been forci.
bly, drawn to experiments with ensilage.
Perhaps in the northern counties Of Scot
land 4, keener interest has been taken in
this matter than in the south, which may
be accounted for by the fact that many
farms in the counties Of Fife, Forfar, Perth,
and Aberdeen are eminently suited for
dairyfafms. Be this as It may, in no part
Of the kingdom have more siloa been built
than In the districts north Of Forth. Last
summer the Royal Northern Agricultural
Society offered q premium OF el0 for the
best specimen Of ensilage produced by one
Of the members. The conditions attached
to the premium having been complied
withby Mr.. Littlejohn, Whitemyres, Aber.
deenshire, o large number Of farmers and
others interested in agriculture assembled
at the farm q few days ago to'witness the
opening OF the silo. Mr.. Littleiohn de-
votes himself largely TO dairy manage
ment, and It Is therefore OF importance
that he should have abundance and vari-
ETY. Of food for his milch-cows during the
winter months. The silo on his iarm is Q
comparatively small one, being sixteen
feet in length, nine and one-halt feet
broad, and the walls seven and one:half
feet high. The walls are three feet thick
at the bottom, and taper to about twenty
inches ut the top, 80 as to resist great pres.
sure. On the 10Th OF July last the filling
OF the silo was commenced, when one ton
and half OF natural grass and the pro.
duce Of two and q half acres OF clover
grass, with one ton and half Of barley
and oats, were put in. The silo was then
covered by larch planks, on which q
weight Of twelve tons was placed. This
weight caused the mass 10 sink twenty
three inches in ten days. On July 90 the
silo was filed up with three and a halftons
OF clover grass and peas in equal quant-
ties. Over this the planking was replaced,
which in turn was covered with nine
inches Of hard.packed clay, and on the
top Of the clay large stones were Laid,
until the total weight would be about
seventeen tons. From the latter date it !
has remained undisturbed until, as al |
ready stated, the other day. With the
exception OF two inches on the top, the
ensilage was found to be in excellent con-
Iiition, and the animals on the farm took
II quite freely. The same success attended
an experiment on large scale by the
earl OF Mar and Kellie. In the earl's silo,
which was constructed in June last year,
on Alloa park home farm, there were
about seventy tons Of natural grass, rye
grass, oats and clover, and when the
building was opened the ensilage was
quite fresh, and was readily eaten by
horses and cattle on the farm. A large
company Of scientific farmers was present
on the occasion, and the universal opinion
was that new area had dawned in agri-
culture, and that in the manufacture OF
ensilage the British farmer may find a
powerful factor to aid him in his struggle
with foreign competition. -

Corn Culture.

ttFPttANd AAIa%Nt '|
It's matter Of common remark that
comparatively shallow blowing for corn is
the better way, but to attain the best re-
suits there must be q thorough preparation
Of the soil before planting, and this coil
must be kept thoroughly worked-but not
deeply-during the season. The rule in
England is to pillow deep for crops, but
we must remember that England has a
moist, cool climate, and the sun is not
quite SO nearly overhead as in this coun-
try. Experiments demonstrate that deep
blowing does not retain moisture in the
soil as perfectly as layer Of very fine,
dust-like soil upon the surface. There Is
no doubt but soil not too deeply plowed,
closely packed, with the surface Aned al
most to dust, and very lightly stirred
every few days, will meet the require
ments OF dry, hot weather for corn, better
than any other by holding the moisture in
the soil at the highest possible point, for q
soil lunpy and coarse admits the sun and
air SO that failure is almost certain. The
same soil, well fined and kept so, and free
from the tendency to crust, will raise a
full crop. -8rI. ..H
