The Disputed Lands.

Samuel Larson, Clerk of Court, has
had some correspondence with D. s..
Hall of the United States Land office
at Benson. The following portion of
one of Mr.. Halls letters is oflnterest:
''In reply to your letter of yesterday
I have to state that we do not allow
entries or filings for any of the SO
called disputed lands; A party may
make application therefor and when
refused by us they have the right to
appeal to the Hon. Commissioner
General land office within 80 days
thereafter, but can gain no rights in
so doing without following up their
intentions by going on the land and
continue cultivation of, and resi-
dence on the same, as against ain
actual settler. The rights of actual
settlers on the public lands are pro-
tected and anyone wishing to obtain
claim on these lands will hold the
same exclusive of all others by MAX
ing settlement and establishing resi-
dence thereon prior to any adverse
claimant, and no entry or filing will
defeat his rights, provided the same
should revert to the general govern
ment."

Occupation for Winter.

Wide-awake farmers-such rs read
the Morris Trlhune-are now think
Ing of ways in which they can most
prolitably spend the comparatively
'easure hours of the approaching
winter. In the current number of
the American Agiculturist. ID. Il. ID.
Moore makes q few suggestions of
value to all such which we copy. He
speaks as follows:
Now that the busy season is past,
and that of comparative leisure has
arrived, 1t behooves farmers and their
families to devote special attention to
the requisition of useful knowledge, a
matter which overshadows nearly all
others in Importance. ''To improve
the soil and the mind" has long been
popular adage, and expresses an ex-
cellent sentiment; yet we would re-
verse it, especially during the season
of Information, and place first mental
improvement. While summer is the
time for cultivating and improving
the soil, winter is emphatically the
period for reading, study, and dis
cussion, and all engaged in rural pur-
suits should take advantage of It's
| leisure to store their minds with
valuable information. There are
several organizations designed to ad-
Vance the physical and mental well
fare of ruralists, the most notable of
which are agricultural societies, farm
ers clubs and the grange. The annual
managed, prove very useful, for they
| furnish attractive and instructive OBJ
ject lessons, and afford favorable op-
portunities for the exhibition and
comparison of choice and improved
products, animals, implements, and
the like. But these fairs come only
once q year, and are of comparatively
brief duration. People who attend
them are generally so absorbed with
the novelties exhibited, and In caring
for their own displays, that if meet
| luSS Ilclu lOI aotlCSSCS Shtt ilo-
cussions, they receive little or no at
| tention.
The great desideratum in most parts
of the country is fully organized far
mers' clubs, with intelligent and pro-
gressive members, and well stocked
libraries. The library feature we re-
gard as Indispensable, and i'll these
times, when good books can be OBJ
tanned very cheaply through the
mails, clubs in the most remote Sec
| tions may be readily supplied. A
club, grange, or other organization of
only a dozen members can for a
moderate amount, secure q good
variety of standard works pertaining
to rural and domestic affairs, history,
| science and literature. Farmers in
neighborhoods not already favored in
this matter, are reminded that now
is the season to organize, procure
libraries, and adopt other measures
to facilitate the acquisition of spracti-
cal and scientific knowlege, mental
culture and elevation.

Malaria-the word leads people to
fear the air, night air, morning air,
damp air, and even hot or cold air, as
if this was the only source of malarial
disease. They fear the air from new
ly turned-up soil, from marshes,
from plains, from hollows in the hills
and will drink water from wells
standing within few rods of barn
yards, privies, or cess-pools, from
springs, and brooks, and ponds, with
out thinking of the surroundings.
Many of these waters are poisoned by
decomposing vegetables and animal
matter, and it is quite likely that the
diseases which are called malarial in
the older parts of the country, where
in old times the disease was not known
all come from subterranean rather
than aerial sources, The reputation
of q district for healthfulness, affects
the value of property greatly, and
this depends largely upon the sanl-
tary conditions of the drinking water.
There are some villages where great
care is taken to have no vaults and
cess-pools, and sources of water con-
tamination, and where it would be
safe to drink the well water; but as
rule, all such water should be boiled
before 1T is used, or it should be filtered
through charcoal filters, or both.
This only would make it comparative
ly safe.-American Agriculturist.

Horatio Seymour on Canals.

At the Utica canal conference, Hura-
ito Seymour, on taking the chair, said:
Shall we perfect the canal system
which has done more than all else to
build up New York, and make her the
Empire State! am not among those
who believe that railroads arc in the
end to prove hurtful to commerce, or to
any other routes of commerce. They
will, if properly controlled. cooperate
with other systems. There are circum-
stances that place them in antagonism
with canals, but these may be obviated.
Before the canals were made free it cost
three times as much to carry cargoes
from Chicago to New York as it did
afterward. The balance of trade against
our country before the removal of tolls
was $SOO,00O, 900. After the canals
had been made free. in eight years the
balance was $1,000, 100000 in our ia
vor. The commerce OF the canals has
made us one of the most prosperous
nations on the earth. We find that the
wisest among us have fallen short in
our estimates, For the past year or
two our boatmen have been affected by
the competition between railroads, and
it has seriously embarrassed all who
were engaged in commerce. At the
close of this competition we find that
the railroads have suffered more than
the canals. If the men opposed to the
canals desired their ruin they have
failed in their object. A glance at the
railroad stock lists will show that the
enemies of the canal have been de-
feated, and they alone are the losers.
[Applause
/ believe there is brighter outlook
for the canals in the immediate future
that will enable them to carry larger
cargoes and do business on more ad-
vantageous terms. To-day you are
here to declare with one voice that our
canals must and shall be sustained.
[Applause.] Men who seek to impair
their usefulness or to destroy them
must encounter determined and earnest
men who will sustain the canals and
thus do their duty to their country.
Never in the history of the country
was any act so beneficial as that which
struck off the tax on commerce. Some
nations in Europe taxed it and won our
dislike, but what was that to our i'm
posing tariff on our own products?
The Constitution does not allow this.
Yet we thought we should have addi-
tional prosperity in our State by tolling
commerce. We released the railroads
from taxes, but kept them on our can
ais for long time. | feel confident
that this conference will strengthen the
hopes of all friends of the canal. 1t
will let enemies of the canal see that
they can not hope to succeed against
the efforts of earnest men who know
the value of the canals to commerce.
There may be, of course, honest differ
ences of opinion, but there should be
no difference as to the great end in
view. We mean to have our efforts
felt, and in the end the State, Nation,
and all people will be benefited.

Some weeds along the highways are
snowy and beautiful when in blossom
like the Golden Rod and many of the
asters, willow herb, and even OXeye
daisies, and the humble Dandelion;
but to the farmers eye, nothing is so
beautiful as grass. II all the space
between the roadway and the fence
on both sides along cultivated fields
and fenced land could be moved off
close three times a year for year or
two, there are comparatively few roads
in districts where there is tolerably
good soil, along which good sward
would not take the place of the tangle
of briers, birches, alders, and weeds,
which are not only unsightly, but
upon which weed seeds are produced
in countless millions, and diffuse
themselves over the adjacent land.
After a year or two, a good clip ofhay
can be cut in June, and possibly again
in August or September, and with
little pains to uproot weed which are
not killed by the moving, the land
will prove productive, and an orna-
