CROP FORECAST BY TIE MAINE FARMER.
On Thursday last the Maine Farmer publish
ed its annual early review of the crops, gather
ed from nearly 100 correspondents in different
parts of the State, all practical farmers. The
hay crop will be larger than that of last year
and above the average. \ good deal of old hay
is kept over, which with the yield that farmers
will begin to gather about the 1St of July, will
perhaps encourage keeping more stock to eat
up the hay on the farms. There has been an
increase in the amount of fertilizers used,
though farmers have not the most unlimited
confidence in them. Oats hold for the leading
grain crop, with barley pressing for recogni-
ton, while potatoes remain the leading hoed
crop. Farmers are returning to the good old
fashion in raising yellow corn. They are also
keeping up with the sweet corn factories. But
little grass was winter killed. The fine early
spring not only enabled the farmers to get in
the seed early but to send forth cattle nicely
fattencd from the barn into the green pastures,
which have maintained their rich yerdure up
to the present time. Fruit trees are all literal
ly bending beneath plenteous burdens. Cheese
factories are gradually giving way to butter
factories. More bees are kept in Maine than
| ever before. Cheap prices for wool seem to be
crowding out the raising of sheep. Rain is
greatly needed.
TOWNS THAT WILL TAKE WATER.
Richmond has become deeply interested in
| the subject of Il system of water works for the
| village, and a town meeting has been called to
take action on the matter. 1t is proposed to
establish system providing the town will agree
to pay a certain sum each year for the use Of
| the same for fire purposes. Forty hydrants
will be placed in different parts of the village,
| so the proposition runs, the water to be taken
| from the Kennebec, and distributing reser-
| voir to be located about one mile from the
village at an elevation two hundred feet above
| high water level. Richmond is poorly provided
with appliances for fighting fire, and such
| system would be of vast advantage to the place
| in that respect.
| Bath wants water and Dr.. A. s. Fuller says
| that if she has water works she must have
| system of sewerage. The health of the place
will! demand it. The Times says the chances
| appear that Bath will not vote for water works
| this year, unless figures very much more IA
| vorable and more within the city's means can
| be obtained.

lead, and the highest went over ISL in
silver, and the highest in lead TAX. The
other assays ranged from S3l to $4s in
silver. AT the rate Of the price Of lead
at present, this ore can be shipped to the
furnaces in Salt Lake City, at an immense

By reason Of the collection Of ores Of
many grades in richness and quality and
mixing them, to produce proper aux, en-.
sbles the smelters at Salt Lake City, says
the Tribune" to pay good prices for
ore. The present charges for reduction
range from SC to SIS per ton, according
to character, and the result is that ore
comes here from Nevada, where, If
milled, would be from 500 to S25 per
ton, and the mills only guarantee so per
cent Of the assay value, thus bringing the
net yield Of $l00-ore down to $55. Here
the smelters deduct only Ave per cent for
loss instead Of 20, as the mills do, while
the charges are from s. to Sl0less. This
fact is bringing hundreds Of tons Of Ne
vada ore to this city, and the amount is
all the time increasing, thus making that
State an important field to draw supplies
Of ore from.

POCKET HUNTING.

Gold pocket hunting is separate and
distinct from any other character Of pros
pecting. There are not more than half
dozen men on the Pacific coast who have
reduced pocket hunting to science and
can trace with unerring certainty gold
bearing float quartz to its source. By
close observance they have discovered
that when gold quartz becomes detached
from vein by the decay of ages, coupled
with the erosive action Of the elements,
and drifts down the sloping side of hills
and mountains the float speads out in
the form Of fan or triangle from the
point from which it had become detached.
When the experienced pocket hunter
finds piece of rich Goat he Immediately
sets about seeking the source from which
it drifted by the following ingenious
method:
He draws an imaginary line on the side
OF the hill, parallel with the summit, and
pans the dirt along the line to the right
as long as he can find "color." When
he fails to find "color" in that direction
he is convinced that he has passed beyond
the point where the Goat has drifted from
the pocket.
He then returns along the base Of the
imaginary triangle to the point where he
first began banning and proceeds in the
same manner to the left until he is salts.
fed that he has passed the line of the
drift on that side. He then returns tc
the center Of the base Of the triangle, and
ascending the hill goes through the same
process, the base of the triangle continu
ally growing as he approaches the point
of the triangle from where the floa,
