Permanent Pastures.

Numbered with the many excellent
papers read at the New York institutes
meetings this wiuteI was one by Mr..
Gold. OF Connecticut, on Treatment
of Permanent Pastures" In this pa
per Mr.. Gold, called attention to the
important fact that the way in which
pastures are fed, whether closely or
otherwise, has much to do with their
permanence in value. 1t is possible to
feed pasture so closely as to dwarf the
grass roots and kill the large. growing
species. Too light stocking fsvors the
growth of the coarse and useless vegs-
tation, choking out sweeter and richer
grasses. Dairy cows, unless fed some
grain, impoverish pasture more than
young stock or fsttening animals. Tne
fields are apt to be too flush IN June and
too bare IN august, Rather than these
extremes, feed some grain or sowed corn
in the scant season ard do not allow
pastures TO run into seed in June. Pas

Duties Of Miners.

There In always considerable trouble
and labor on the part of reporters on
papers published in mining districts 70
obtain late and reliable information re-
garding the condition and progress Of
mines and prospects in their localities.
In reference TO this subject a contemporary
truly says:
"The papers in all mining districts are
urging the miners TO contribute mining
items for publication in local columns
Miners should heed these appeals, for II
they look over the Denver dailies, as also
the mining papers Of San Francisco, st.
Louis, Chicago and New York, they will
find that the majority OF items appearing
in their local newspapers are copied in
metropolitan papers. The miner should
understand that although his local news
paper may possibly have somewhat Of a
limited circulation, it also has an ex-
change list, which gives medium
through which well-written articles can
reach thousands OF readers all over the
world. support your home paper, whether
you dislike its editor or not, even il you
do not fancy its appearance. The press
is friendly to mining interests without re
gard to locality, and no charges are made
for publishing facts about the progress oi
mining enterprises. Exchange.

last evening, our reporter CLEANED the FOL.
lowing information. The new find Is sit
uated about one and half miles from
Mescal Springs OH the south slope OF the
Whetstones. The ledge is blind but can
be traced long dia,snce by the forma-
ton. The original locators have shalt
down eight feet, showing ledge two feet
wide, and growing wider as It goes down.
The ore IL chloride between slate and
limestone. One streak Of black metal
runs through IL about two inches In width
that will assay 1900 per ton. Mr.. Brad
ley showed the the reporter several pieces
Of almost solid metal.--prospector.
Considerable excitement exists in So
nora over rich discovery u rich carbon
rte ores in the foot hills Of the Santa Ter

cinity OF the Nina Grande aud Santa

pcct is only down about IS feet but shows
a well defined vein OF from three 10 four
feet in width and Is traceable for mile.
The ores are high grade, assaying as high
az 5000 ounces silver and s. per cent

ounces silver and IS per cent lead. sey-
ersl other good prospects are being open
ed up in the Santa Teresa mountains and
the district is not only fast filing up, but
Is worthy the attention Of prospectors. -

Inspecting Car Wheels.

The familiar method Of inspecting
wheels by sounding them with hammer
blow is about all the inspecting that is
feasible. The minute examination Of met
ais possible in labratory experiments, by
means Of which fractures may be detect
ed in their earliest stages, is one thing,
but to attempt 80 much in actual railroad
practice is quite another affair. Special
experiments will have done valuable SER
vice when they have pointed out what
are dangerous tendencies, and have de-
fined what are safe and what are danger
GUS limits in the use Of structural mater
ials. 1t is, Of course expected in the in
spection that cracked wheel will betray
itself in the sound produced by the ham
mer, the vibrations of the metal being in
terrupted by the presence Of a crack. On
some roads the wheels are sounded while
the train Is under little headway near
a station. Perhaps there is no material
difference in the reliability Of this method,
whether the train is moving or at stand
still. Further while the inspection may
be well done, still It fails TO afford any
clew az TO how soon fracture will occur,
or, once started, how rapidly IL will ex-
tend. Where machinery wears ont, per-
iodic inspection shows the progress in de-
terioration as it goes on mot always 50,
however, in the failure Of wheels, which
may be sudden ones. Unless premature
lv broken, the lie Of wheel is limited
by its wearing out at the thread. Finally
It must be admitted that absolute secur-
ity has not been attained in several inn
portant directions, and that car wheels
are as yet no exception to this general
statement, however much the fact may
be lamented.-Boston Herald.

Diptherta can De Cured.

A priest who has had an opportunity
Of witnessing the ravages OF diptheria re-
quests us TO publish and give as much
prominence as we can to the fact that the
dread disease can be easily cured. He
enclosed the following slip from a paper
in which correspondent says:

he cured every patient without exception.
He put a tablespoonful Of -four Of brim-
stone into a wineglass OF water, and STIR
red it with his finger instead Of spoon
