We learn from one of the employees in
the Sam mine on Elk creek, who passed
through Custer a few days ago, that
development is still going on in the mine
but the mill is idle and will probably
remain so until spring. This gentle
man, who is an old miner, says the mine
is a good one. that the ore ought 10 pay,
and will pay with good management.

Smith & Fitch received a fine line of

Henry Johnson, the young man who
was shot by August Rich, on Jan. 3rd,
died OF his wound January 10th. An
account of this shooting at Stanum was
given in our last issue. We agree with
the Journal of Rapid City, that the
lance house with the accompanying
bar is an unmixed evil and should be
suppressed. 1t has been the source and
scene of more cutting and shooting, and
more decentralization generally than all
other retrograding influenced put to-
gether in the mining camps, not only in
the Black Hills but in all the territories.

There was on last Sunday a family
reunion at the old home of Mrs. Eliza
Heath, on her seventy-fifth anniver-
sary. There were forty-three of the
family present, running IN age from
the soft, silken locks of childhood to
the gray hairs of maturer age. Men
and women physically fully develop
ed, all sound in mind, moral in hab-
it's, conservative in feelings and indie
pendent in circumstances. Not one
vicious character, not one drunkard,
but each and all Industrious, econom-
ical, and yet liberal according to
means when duty demands it. Such
people are not only the pride but the
defence Of a country in her hours OF
extremity. Knowing them as we do
we can only wish that every house
hold in this broad land could call to-
gether so large and so worthy an as.
sembly of good people, all allied by
blood, and not an Incorporate man
among them. OF course it was SO.
cially a feast of reason and a flow OF
soul" wherein the most generous sen,
timents and fraternal feelings were
freely interchanged over the many
good things the aged head of:the fam.
lily had prepared for the enjoyment Of
her children and grandchildren.

It is a well-known fact that the
yeung ladies (boardersy of the College
are forbidden not only having any
conversation with young men, but
speaking to them while passingalong
the streets. This, we grant, Is all
right. Furthermore, young men OF
musical talent are not allowed to en-
ter the College grounds and give the
young ladies an evening serenade
while the latter remain in the fourth
story of the house. So far, SO good.
Now let us look at the other side OF
the proposition: An entertainment
is gotten up for a worthy, benevolent
purpose, with the desire to rake in as
many shekels as possible, the young
ladies' College Is thrown open to the
public, the young men without any
discrimination of character as far as
we can learn especially invited, and
the aforesaid young ladies turned
loose to mingle with the young men
to their hearts content-provided,
however, the young ladies are in
their respective rooms at a given
hour. This, we presume, will be
gratifying information to these young
ladies' parents. Consistency, thou
art a jewel!

The following is part of a private
DR.. 7. G, Burlington, by DR.. E. w.
Hilgard, Of California, once a Pro-
fessor in Or University, and subse-
quently the GeOlogist of our State.
DR.. Hilgard is regarded as amongthe
highest authority in the United States
on all subjects of agricultural chem
istry, and being both a scientist and
practical farmer, the information be-
low may be of service to some of our
farmers. TO that end we obtained the
letter from DR.. Burlington and cheer
fully spread it before the readers OF
the GAZETTE as worthy not only OF
being read, but of fleeing filed away for
future use in reference to %cottonseed
meal, which others beside DR.. b. are
trying to utilize with special results:
"Now as to your question on
cottOnseed meal: The fact is that the
meal is very nearly q complete fertil-
izer and to compost it is to paint the
rose. 1t hardly needs the addition of
bone meal, having plenty phosphoric
acid in it already. But seed-hull ash
es is a good addition, provided it is
not made long before putting it into
the ground. If the compost should
get wet and ferment it would give off
a good portion of the ammonia that
should go to the soil for the use of the
crop. The ashes rather facilitate the
use of the meal from the drill and
may conveniently be taken in the
proportion of one part to two of meal.
The meal has M vice that you
must not forget; it will kill any small
seeds with which it comes in contact
before it has had time to ferment in
the ground. The cause of this /
made out while at Oxfordi 1t devel-
ops a most Misunderstanding alco-
hol when fermented, and it il this
that hurts the seed. When you COM
post with ashes the smell becomes
In my experiments at Ok
ford l came to the conclusion that it
is good practice to mix the meal with
about one-fourth it's bulk of land plas-
ter, then moisten it and let it ferment
as much as it pleases. 1t "a then
lose no ammonia, and the alcohol be-
ing dissipated or oxidized it can then
be used without fear of consequences
even to flower seeds, But whenever
mixed with ashes it should go into
the ground promptly, and some time
before the seed is planted.
If you want some good points about
the value of %cottonseed, refer to the
census for 1880, Vol. s., page 4S and
fowllowing mes. l have there CIV
en- the matter in a nut shell, though
only just as ! used to preach it up in
Mississippi long ago.
By the way,if you compost the seed
meal with bone meal about two to
one and then wet the stuff and let it
sour, it will make a very strong
phosphate fertilizer; the acid formed
by the meal acts the part of sulphuric
acid used in the factories and renders
it soluble; so you get a kind of super
phosphate that you can use in place
of the commercial.
