$4,000 for labor performed in surveys
and prospect work.
It has been known for the past so
years that there were very rich placers
In the Oregon Butte district but the in
ability to obtain water has prevented
their being worked to any great extent.
The first mining was done in Oregon
gulch in 1848 and the old bitches and
dams are still in existence. In 1869 a
second attempt was made to work the
property and over 100 miners from Ida
no and Utah came in there and COM
menced work. A ditch four miles long
was dug by these hardy miners with
only a pick and shovel but before 1t
could be put to use the Indians came
down upon them killing many and driv-
ing the remainder away. Several
graves on Deadman's .gulch are silent
reminders Of Indian savagery in those
early days.
Parties have been mining along the
different gulches for the past three

miles to water and making good wages
using only the ordinary sluice bow.
Messrs. Sun & Co. hold this property
at $3.50, 600. 1t is estimated that the
cost Of taking the water on to it and
other Incidental expenses will amount
to $4,000 more, making a total out
lay of $30O.00O before the owners will
receive returns from their investment
The examination was satisfactory to
Mr.. Greene. and the property will be
transferred to him as soon as the ne
cessary papers can be made out.
A pipe line 20 miles in length with a
capacity Of 5000 miners inches will be
built as o as the season will permit,
together with other improvements ne
cessary to the successful operation Of
the property.
This is one Of the most important
mining deals ever made in the State Of
Wyoming.

Selecting Seed Grain.

It is impossible to tell by looking at grain in a heap or bin what its value for seed may be. The plumpest, finest formed berry, and one with uninjured vitality may have grown from a seed that produced only single stalk and head and that poorly filled. Such a seed will tend to produce like plant from that on which it grew. What may be done by the proper selection of seed is shown in the great improvement that is made in the productiveness of corn, which with skillful cultivatOrs is d. ways chosen on the stalk, selecting those that bear two full ears. Yet if size of kernel were the test the largest and best grains might often be found on the nubbin corn where the ears were not filled out, so that each grain could grow round and full instead of being compressed as it is in a weli-tilled ear. Ye. on such an ear there will always be found at the tip and butt some grains that had room to grow full size. These will produce better and stronger plants than will the compressed grains from the middle of the cob.

A Soft Hearted Statesman.

The late Charles Floquet, who had been at the head of the government ot the French republic in more than one ministry, was a redoubtable fighter in politics. His extreme benevolence was sometimes taken advantage of by his subOrdinates.
 Once, when prime minister, Floquet had signed an order for the dismissal of functionary who did not properly per- form his duties and could not be made to do so. A friend of this functionary, who had access to the minister and who knew his characteristic in this respect, said to M. Floquet about the man:
 "You could not do otherwise, Mir. Minister, for the man is incorrigible. But it's too bad he has eight children. Y"
 Flight childrenr' exclaimed Floquet.
 ''Yes, sir. There are eight of them ["
 M. Floquet dropped the order for the mans dismissal upon the table reflect ively.
 ''But, MT. Minister" said the friend, "you can hardly be governed by consid- erations of benevolence in such a mat. ter.''
 ''I suppose not. But eight children! Eight children are lot to take care of in these times
 Floquet put the dismissal away in a pigeonhole and said, with an air of great severity:
 ''Send this fellow to me tomorrowr'
 The next day the troublesome official came. M. Floquet gave him scolding and said to him that he ought to be dis charged, and that he certainly would be but for his eight children. This an- nouncement was as good as an assurance of perpetuity in office to the lazy func- tionary, for he certainly took no step to reduce the number of his children. He did no better in his work, but held his place as long as M Floquet was in of tice.--Youth's Companion.

The Weather Rureau.

This institution is doing better work this year than ever, says Farm and Home. It's weather forecasts are not always correct, and it is doubtful if it will ever be possible to make them absolutely true for every nook and cor ner of the country, but they are great help to farmers who are so located as to be able to get them in time. The farmers want to-mOrrOw's forecasts this afternoon, so that they can plan their work accordingly. Every farmer should also obtain the weekly weather and crop report issued by his State weather bureau in cooperation with the national weather bureau at Wash ington, and the latter publishes week ly crop and climate bulletin that will be found of great value. In most of the States, the headquarters of the bureau is at the State capital and it may be addressed there.

Rnd-Tempered Bulls.

Too much care cannot be taken to keep the bull always in subjection. A ring should be put in his nose before he is a year old, and if this is done a snap fastening stout stick to the ring, and which can be detached when not in use, will keep the animal in perfect subjec- ton. On no account should bull be led or driven without this contrivance. The bull when feeling we'll is a very playful animal, but if in play it once draws blood, the sight of it will make him furious. The tempers of most bulls are spoiled by teasing them and then getting out of the way. If the bull never sees any one who is not his master, and is always kept in subjec. tion by the stick and ring, his useful ness may be protra cted till he is s or 10 years old.

Origin of Barber Poles.

An English gentleman of letters has recently evolved from the musty pages of history some new and exceedingly interesting data regarding the origin of the gaudy barber pole. Its first begin nings, this gentleman says, were ill the days of the barber surgeons. In early times, the tradition goes, both medicine and surgery were i'll the hands of bar bers, as indeed they continued to be for many centuries afterward. The old the ory was that the men of tine razor were the worthiest to handle the lancet, and even in the middle ages the lancet was the one great instrument of medicine, as blood letting was one of the chief practices of the time.
 In the days of old, during the opera tion of bleeding the patient used to grasp a stick which the barber surgeon kept ready for use that the pain might be lessened, in just the same way as ill the days before chloroform was invent ed people undergoing severe operation frequently chewed lead bullets Around this stick was twined supply of ban dages for tying up the arm of the patient When not in use, the pole was hung at the door as as sign. In the course of time a painted staff was displayed instead of the one actually used during the opera tiOnS

Homemade Spraying Outfit.

Homemade Spraying Outfit.
 Where spraying is conducted on considerable scale, various rigs have been made to squirt insecticides and fungicides over all portions of a tree. The spraying cOntrivance illustrated here has been used with good success and profit. Many fruit growers use an ordinary wagon, with box or rack and 60-gallOn barrel; but if one has much spraying to do, it is generally economy to use larger tank, especially if water has to be hauled some distance. More thorough work can be done in old or chards if the operator is elevated above the barrel The use of long pieces of 112-inch brass, iron, copper or even gas pipe, with nozzle attachment to the end, is advisable when working among the tops of trees; such are apt to be nuisance if one works from the ground. Pipes are awkward if more than ten feet long.
 In my orchard of twenty-five acres the trees are twenty to thirty feet high. With my outfit, one man to drive and pump and two men in the tower, each with brass extension tube eight feet long with double nozzle on each end, every part of large tree may be spray ed in from three to five minutes. We find it much easier to spray on level with our work or downward, than to stand on a wagon box and spray up with the Bordeaux mixture running down our sleeves and into our faces. The work is also more thoroughly dO1a. In 1894 I used a power pump and sprayed from a wagon. I had fine fruit up as far as the spray went, but the tops of the trees were bare of fruit, proving to me the virtue of the spray. The rig is on a pair of wide-tired trucks coupled short so that we can turn from one row of trees to another. pumped the water, mixed the ingre dients and did the spraying of my or chard in three days The spray pump
