Mining Notes.


A six-inch streak of galena ore has been
struck in the Merrimac mine in Jefferson
county. It runs from sixty to eighty per
cent. in lead, and we'll in silver.
The Rock of Ages mine, near Basin, is
shipping ore to Butte, which returns 800
in gold and eight ounces inssilver to the
Ton. The shaft on the property is down
142 feet.
The Bannister Mining Co. has declared
dividend No. 8, of two cents a share, ag-
RreRating $4,000. This makes $48. 900 this
company has paid in dividends since its
organization last year, and 1874, 900 paid
since Jan. l, 1891.
Reports from the North Drum Lummon
are to the effect that the ore body cut some
time since still holds out, showing a width
Of eight feet, without the foot wall being
touched. The ore assays from 81 to 1926,
the average being about $40. When the
foot wall is reached it is proposed to drift
north.
The Treasure Hill Mining company,
whose property is located near Radersburg,
have elected the following officers: Presi-
dent, w. D. Hinckley; vice-president, G..
Lawyer; secretary and treasurer, b. p.
Piatt; manager, W. J. MciIat1ie. The in
cline shaft OF the property is now down
$50 feet, disclosing a strong lead of good
carbonate ore.

BLOODY MILK.

S. W. Ware, of Joplin, wants to know
why his COW gives BLOODY milk, which
comes sometimes from one teat and
sometimes from all of them, though the
one teat is always worse than the others.
1t is the last of the milking that is
bloody, the first being only slightly col
ored. From this desert ption, replies G.
W. Murtfeldt, the cows udder has prob
ably received some local hurt. The
driver or someone may have cast stone
or a stick without intent to hurt the
COW, but unfortunately he or she did
aff1ict the animal and make bruise. If
she still gives bloody milk, make care
full examination for the seat of the
trouble, and if found heal it up. If a
wound, wash it clean and use hogs lard.
That another teat may also be affected
may come from the proximity of the
trouble or from sympathy, much as if a
man has a sore eye the other eye may
also become sore. If the COW continues
to give bloody milk, and from more than
one teat, she had better be dried up,
fattened and sold for beef. Of course,
all such milk is unfit for use AMI may
cause blood poisoning in those who par
take thereof. 1t is best to be on the safe
side. Sickness and doctors bills may
come to many times the value of the
milk or cows. Louis Republic.

RESTORING SOIL FERTILITY.

There are two methods of restoring
the lost fertility of the soil. One is by
the application of needed constituents
derived from soils and sources other
than the land on which they are to be
used. This involves direct outlay of
money, and at once the question arises,
Will it pay? In it are included the min
eral elements of plant food, such as the
potash and nitrates from foreign mines,
guano--the excrement Of sea fowl, orig
inally derived from the sea-and phos-
phate rock, all more or less entering in
to the constituents of the commercial
fertilizers now so common. The other
may be said to be furnished, directly or
indirectly, by the soil itself. The most
direct way in which the soil can be made
to fertilize itself while under cultivation
is by the growing of plants whose de-
composition will return to it greater
measure of fertility than was distracted
for their production.
While something had been learned in
this direction through farm experience,
it was not until science came to the aid
of agriculture that the plants best fitted
for soil renovation and the reason for
preferring them as such became known.
Science and experience having jointly
determined that clover, peas and other
plants of their class are the ones spec
tally adapted to furnishing this require
ment, it consequently follows that
growing them and blowing them under
when at their best is the most direct way
to make the soil fertilize itself. This,
however, is commonly thought too
costly method, requiring, as it does,
the sacrifice of crop. In lieu Of it, by
giving clover two years lease, much
the same result can be realized through
the decay of the stubble and its more
extensive root system, and in the South
the cow pea makes so rapid growth
that two crops may be raised in sea-
son.
An indirect way in which the soil may
be said to fertilize itself is through the
application of the manure from stock fed
on heterogeneous folders grown upon it,
This opens up the subject of the best
rotation of crops and furnishes wide
field, not only for the farmers own ex-
periments, but also for a judicious use
of the knowledge which the numerous
experiment stations of the country are
yearly placing within his reach without
direct cost to himself.
After all everything depends on what
the soil still contains and the manner in
which the plant food taken off in pre-
vious crops may be most naturally and
cheaply supplied again.-New York Re-
c0rder.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
SAVING IN HoRsEsHoEISG.

Korseshoeine, though often written
about, is by no means an exhausted sub
iect. A great saving can be effected to
no detriment to the horse, or owner, and
in many instances a decided advantage
will be gained, if we will only lay aside
old ideas. A western correspondent
writes us that he has had ten years ex-
perience in the mountains of Colorado,
staging, freighting and ranching. His
nearest railroad point is 100 miles dis
tant, and many ranchmen make the trip
and bring in heavy loads over the range
on road that any farmer in the Middle
States would consider impracticable.
Besides, there are scores of ranch teams
which make bitches, run mowers, haul
hay and haul timber over rocky roads
without ever having shoe on.-AmerI-

FEEDING COWS FOR BEEF,

What constitutes good beef, good
mutton, and good poultry9 1t is the
sweet, juicy, tender lean meat. But a
small portion of the fat of beef or NUT
ton is eaten. Look at the bushels of
butchers waste in any market and see
what large per cent. of fat it contains.
And the market man will tell you that
very fat corned beef is 'slow sale" ]
have never known of an instance where
prize beef gave good satisfaction. On
the contrary, it has been very unsatisfac-
tory to both the butcher and the con-
sumner. How shall we make good beef
of our unremunerative dairy cows2 NV
theory and practice may be illustrated
as follows: We will take for an exam

TWO MEN ROB A BANK.
They Cover the Cashier With Revol-
vers and Rake in the Cash.

About $50 o'clock on a recent afternoon
the American Bank at Corder, five miles
east of Higglnsville Mo-, was robbed.
Two men, one of them masked, stepped
into the bank with drawn revolvers. Cash
Ter W. L. Groves was ordered to throw up
his hands They had the drop on him, and
he obeyed.
One of the men held him under cover Of a
revolver, and the other speedily proceeded
to place all the cash in sight into a large
grain sack, which they had brought with
them.
Having completed their work they rushed
through the back door and mounted two
horses hitched in the alley. They were seen
by several persons, and were fired upon.
They returned the fire in regular James
boys style They then dashed up Main street,
firing right and left, and in a few minutes
were out of sight. They secured about 500
in cash.
They were seen by no less than forty peo-
pie. The man under a partial mask IL de-
scribed as medium sized, with sandy hair;
the other as a young man OF probably
twenty-four years, with light hair, light
complexion and smooth face
The town is in a state OF wild excitement
and the robbery is considered one OF the
boldest ever committed in that part or the
country.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

By having the poultry yard in a sandy
or gravelly soil much slush is avoided.
Horses affected with the heaves are
seldom cured, but the difficulty may be
lessened by shaking the hay, cutting it,
and moistening it we'll before feeding.
AS long as the animal eats all the food
you give it nothing is wasted. Do not
lessen the supply because the quantity
required is less than you wish to give.
Fully one-half of the failures with
Drooders arc due to want Of care in keep
ing warm. Breeders should be arranged
so that there will be no corners into
which the chicks can crowd.
At the season when the market
gardener is busy disposing of his crop
of peas, beans, cucumbers, lettuce, onions,
beets and radishes, he should be taking
advantage of every moist day to set out
celery plants.
Wool must be equally strong the en-
tire length of the fiber, or necessarily 1t
will be of less value to the manufacturer;
and wool of that kind can not be grown
unless the sheep is kept in good condl-
ton all the time.
All butter tubs should be soaked IN
strong salt brine for two or three days
before packing and then filled with but
ter to within one-half inch Of the top,
then cover with a cloth and paste OF
fine salt and water, which should be
pressed against the tub SO as to exclude
air from the butter.
All kinds of foods may be relished by
stock, but the food that gives the best
results is that which is most easily dl-
gested and assimilated. The individual
characteristics of an animal should Dc
considered in feeding. Some animals
will digest certain foods which Woalo
not be beneficial to their associates.
When the peach trees lose their DARK
green color and the leaves drop OF pre-,
