THE FIVE POINTS.
A Claim Which Started the Excitement
at Soldier.

w. Y. Perkins aud j. B. Allen, Of
Soldier, have just had an assay made
of an average sample Of ore taken
from their Five Points ledge, on the
Smoky divide, few miles northeast
of Camas Prairie. 1t asssyed sos in
gold. This was much better than ex
pected, as Mr.. Perkins did not believe
the ore TO be worth over $50 per ton.
1t is Of similar quality from wall to
wall. The vein is eight feet thick,
and crops out on the surface tor $500
feet, without break. The ore chute
is over 1900 feet in length.
This is the claim that started the
gold excitement Oh Camas Prairie,
last year.

Per Ton, Regardless Of Value.
Shortly after !. o'clock last evening
the railway station agent at Haley
was Informed by telegraph that the
following rates had been made on all
ores from Wood River, in car load
lots, regardless OF metal value: To
Denver $1,000 per ton; to Omaha,
s12.40 per ton; to Kansas City, s13.-
40 per ton.
The DAILY TINES being just issued,
All extra, printed in red ink, was
got out and circulated, gratuit-
ously, that the people of Haley
should be appraised OF the good news
at once. On the appearance Of the
xtra the business men, miners and
others went from place to place, re-
peating the good news, and congratu-
lating one another. A huge toy bal.
loon was Immediately sent up, and
Roman Candles, sky;rockets and
other fireworks soon illuminated the
sky.
The rates are just what we asked
for, and really lower than we expect
ed, as they are the same as those Civ.
en- Utah common points, which are
fully 200 miles nearer the smelling
centers east of the Rocky Mountains.
They amount practically to declara-
ton of dividend Of $40 to $l2.5O
per ton on all ores shipped from this
region.
About year ago our shippers be-
came dissatisfied with the rates
charged for freight on their ores, and
endeavored to obtain A. reduction. AS
this, although frequently promised,
was not Forthcoming, they gradually
curtailed expenses until the ma jority
OF the producing mines either limited
, their yield to the amount needed to
' meet the expenses of their prospect
ing operations, or shut down alto
gether. In this way the shipm ents
dwindled from several carloads tc
less than one carload per day, on the
average. The discharged miners left
to seek employment elsewhere, anc
most of the prospectors and mine
owners did like wise. Some Of thu
business men were just about begin
1 ming to consider the ACCESSIBILITY o
t initiating their example, when it wa
T positively announced that the new
rates would be given in a few days
Now that these rates have at las
e been secured, everybody in this sec

Sharp County record., 1888-09-06

AS the main object of cultivation dur
ing July was to encourage plant growth,
or development of weed, so the object
is now to promote the growth and ma
turity Of the squares and young bolls.
The plants are now, or should be, COW
cred with abundant foliage, and the
process of assimilation of the sap and
the development of the embryo fruit
will go on rapidly without much per-
ceptible increase in the size of the
plants. The same vegetatlvc func-
tiOns, however, are in full force, be-
ing only partially diverted from the
formation of leaves and branches to
the perfection of the fruit, and the
same necessity exists, though in less
degree, for keeping the surface soil
in an open and porous condition.
Cultivation should now, as a rule, be
limited to one furrOw of a wide plOw
or cultivator, run in each middle. In
spite of all efforts to cultivate on a
level, the stalks are now standing on
the comb of a more or less elevated
ridge or bed, and examination will
show that this bed is full of the root
lets of the plants 1t is not good
practice to plunge a plow into the
sides of the bed and tear it away to the
depth of three or four inches, as will
be the case where two burrows are put
in 1t is best to run but one furrOW,
right in the middle, having the imple-
ment so set or adjusted that it will cut
to a uniform depth from side to side OF
not greater than one inch. Deep plow-
ing must be avoided now, if not hereto
fore. 1t will be better not to plow the
crops any more than to tear and mutt
late the roots at this critical period.
No point has been more definitely set
tied, by scientific eXperimenters as
well as professional practical farmers,
than that deep plowing in the later
stages of the growth of any annual
plant, is irretrievably ruinous. twill
inevitably cause the plant to throw off
the greater part Of its forms and
young fruit and to start into vigorous
but belated growth, Taking the aver
age of the middle line Of the cotton
belt, it may be assumed that all forms
or squares that make their first ap-
pearancc after the middle of August
will be too late to mature into perfect
bolls before a killing frost occurs;
therefore all further increase in the
size of the plants and the number of
new squares after that date involves a
useless waste of energy and should not
be encouraged. .-SOuthcrD CultIrator'

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
Cutting Tobacco.

You can tell by the appearance OF
the leaves when to cut. If your field
generally shows leaves turning yellow,
with reddish and brown spots, and the
leaves break readily when bent, you
can prepare for cutting. To cut on a
damp and cloudy day makes it easy to
handle plants. but if your tobacco is
ripe and needs cutting do it on awarm,
sunny day, too, but don't leave your
plants to wilt in the field. There are
different methods of cutting, some slit
ting the plant from the top to within
few inches of where it is to be cut off
from the butt others hack it off
with a hatchet or any instrument they
can find with the dulleSt edge possible,
others use small strong meat saws, and
others tobacco knives made specially
for the purpose. 1t is regarded as the
best to saw off or cut off with the
tobacco knives without Sitting down
the stalk. Take hold of the plant near
the top, bend back gently, and sever
the stalk near the ground, then lift the
plant gently, and leave down across
the stump, being careful that the
leaves are not doubled up, and none
of them become torn. Careless
cutting will spoil much of the pre-
vious labor, and in the case of
cigar leaf spoil the most valuable
wrapper leaves. Some of the most
intelligent planters cut two rows at a
time-that is, alternate from row to
row. After the cutter man follows
with the laths or poles on which to
hang tobacco. Some spear the plants
that is, they have aspear-head sock
eted to fit on the ends of the laths,
driving the spear through the stalk
near the end, putting about eight plants
on q lath four feet six inches wide.
Some few others, as in the New England
States, tie the plants to the pole with
string, while others drive nails at
measured distances on the laths and
hang the stalks on the nails, alternat-
ing the stalks on the two sides of the
lath, and this would seem the most
effective and most. economical
way. When the plant is once hung
there is no danger of its moving, and
the nail puncture will not do damage
by drying the sap of the stalk too sud
denly, as may the slit from the spear
head. Most planters nowadays take
tho tobacco to the barns Immediately
after cutting, instead of scatfOlding in
the field temporarily, and many have
wagons made specially to hold the
laths so as not to infict any damage to
the leaves of the plant while being
transferred to the barn. If possible,
cut a whole field in the one day, Or the
succeeding day at the farthest, so as
to have all advanced to the same de-
gree in curing, g,-FarmerS Home Jour-

Hay and EnsiIage.

Hay is the dry-cured grasS-cnsilage,
canned grass, or other plants, Ensi-
lage is to the dry-cured hay as canned
fruits or vegetables are to the dried or
evaporated Ensilage is probably as
much more palatable to cattle, COM
pared with the dried grass, as the lus-
cious canned fruit is more grateful to
our own tastes than the sun-dried arti-
Gle. While it is not probable or desir-
able that we dispense altogether with
dry-cured hay, it is very probable that
ensaage will be largely used in the fut-
ure. The process ofpreserving green
forage in pits or air-tight compartments
is so simple, so certain and so independ-
ent of the weather conditions that it will
finally commend itself to all progress
i've, wide-awalle farmers. As II rule
the very plants that are most difficult
to convert into sweet, sound hay by the
ordinary process, are at the same time
best adapted for ensilage. Corn plants,
which can hardly be converted into an
even Indifferent hay, are of all plants
the best for silo purposes. Pea-vincS,
potatoes vines, sorghum, etc, can be
easily produced in unlimited quantities
and are just the thing for the Silo.
Every farmer should have u pit, if for
nothing more than to satisfy himself,
by personal test, in regard to the value
of the method. -S0utbcrU Cultirator.

Preventing Spread of Swine Plague.

The Bureau OF Animal Industry de-
,lares that tho micrObe of swine plague
has very feeble powers Of resistance to
external agencies 1t is killed by dry
ing within twenty-four to fOrty-eight
hours, and it is speedily destroyed in
water. Its life in the soil is no doubt,
very limited for these reasons. More
over, it fails to multiply on vegetable
substrata, like potato, and grows free
ly in most nutritivc media. In these
respects it differs very markedly from
the hog cholera germ, which manifestS
a very decided resistance to the de-
structive agencies in water and soil.
1t seems probable that infectious
matter from swine plague is more di-
rectly conveyed from one animal to
another than is the case with hog
cholera virus. Direct contact Of the
sick with the healthy must be con-
sidercd as one of the principal means
of infection. The mucus from the
lunys contains the disease germs in
abundance, and a fOrciblc expiration
by which particles of water, etc, are
elected from the nostrils to some dis
tance may easily communicate the dis
ease to another The soil at the same
time becomes infected from intestinal
discharges, as with how cholera, and it
is therefore necessary to separate the
well from the sick by removing them to
uninfected grounds; but the infection of
the soil and pens can not live for more
than two weeks, and in a month such
places may be considered safe.
The same remarks apply to both
diseases as regards disinfection. This
need not be so thorough in swine
plague if the pen or grounds are left
unused for a month, and if the healthy
be kept away from the sick. At any
rate, disinfectiOn should always be
practiced if possible. For this pur-
pose lime is perhaps the best and
cheapest.
There may be some difficulty in de-
termining which disease has attacked
given herd, or whether both are
not actually present. Very Sc
we're lung disease is now the
only sign that is of any positive value
in the direction of swine plague,
unless it be archaeological testimony,
which is the safest, but not at hand
under most circumstances. Where any
doubt exists the disease should be
treated as hog cholera, and all the
rules for disinfection and isolation
suggested in this and the preceding
report for that disease should be fol-
lowed out. In the disinfection lime
should take the place of the mercuric
chloride recommended in the report
for 1886. Whether this disease can be
prevented by inOculatiOn requires
more evidence than has been obtained
thus far and experiments to test the
matter are now going On.-Ndtt0nal
