The board of public works and the
Wheeling X Elm Grove Railway Com
pany are at logserheads on account of
imperfectlons in the laying of street
paving following the construction OF the
city division of the Elm Groves electric
line. Recently a joint meeting of the
council committees on railroads and on
streets, alleys and grades was called for
the purpose of going over the streets
where the imperfect paving is laid. but a
quorum of the committees was not OBJ
talned aad since then nothing has been
done. As soon as possible the commit
tees will meet and investigate the mat
ter. The board of public works claims
that In addition to the paving being poor
ly laid, poor material has been used,
some of the brick crushing when pound
ed after being laid. The streets on which
this imperfect brick is laid are McCol-
loch, Fifteenth, Eofr and Twelfth.

Kaffir Corn Growing in Favor.

Another years experience with this
dry-weather crop has justified the
claims of it's friends and put to flight
it's enemies. All over that section of
the United States west of the Missis-
sippi river where Indian corn fails oc-
casionally, kaffir corn was more large
ly grown than ever before during the
season of 1896. The yield was larger
than ever and as farmers become
more and more familiar with cultivat-
ing and handling the crop, the early
objections gradually disappear. Of
course, last season was not marked
by drouth except in limited areas, but
Texas, Kansas, Nebraska and particu-
larly Oklahoma, dry weather did some
damage to Indian corn, but failed to
hurt the kaffir.
There is some objection on the
score of difficulty in curing when it
is cut as hay, or put into shocks, as is
Indian corn. AS a rule, in the Sec
tions where it is most largely grown,
rains are not at all frequent during
harvest time, and in addition the at
mosphere has peculiar drying proper
ties, so that experienced growers find
nothing to complain of. The stalks
make a high grade of forage and the
grain, when ground, is excellent for
stock feed and in a number Of cases
kaffir meal has been made into ac-
ceptable bread. Broadcasted fields are
cut and harvested as hay but where
the corn is planted in rows it is usual
ly cut and shocked, remaining in the
field until thoroughly dry, after which
it is stacked
The ground is prepared as for an

Electricity in Agriculture.

Some months since the "Chroncle"
published report of the application
of electricity to ordinary farming op-
erations in Germany. 1t was interest
ing reading, but it is utterly improb-
able that the farm described paid eX-
penses. Of late the press of the coun-
try has taken up the subject again
and our exchanges come filled with
accounts of the wonderful things
which electricity is to do for the
farmer. 1t is to pillow his fields, har-
vest his crops, grind his feed, saw his
wood, run his churns and sewing ma
chimes, and get the boys up to break
fast In addition to this it is to make
his early vegetables grow day and
night, as is done in some market gar
dens in France, and kill the weeds in
his fields and orchards. A railroad
weed killer has been devised, which, it
is said, will kill all vegetation along
the track at the rate of sixty miles a
day, and finally it is to be used as a
fertilizer by means of the power of
the current to induce chemical chang
es, thus rendering available the stores
of plant food now insoluble and en-
aiding us to use up our land quicker.
We have no reason to doubt that
electricity can be made to do all the
things claimed for it, but it certainly
cannot at present or within the near
future be managed, except by an cleo
trical engineer. The machinery for
light work is delicate, while that sup
plying real power is heavy and ex-
pensive, and the power itself is an
ugly thing to trust with the inexperi-
enced. Storage batteries are extreme
ly heavy and apparently must always
remain SO, although that we do not
know. But it is not likely that for
many generations it will be possible
to use electricity on farms at a profit,
except where the operations are large
enough to Justify the employment of
trained men to direct it.-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

ordinary crop of corn. Drill in the
about every six or ten inches. AS the
young plant is exceedingly tender, it
is best to delay planting until the
ground has been thoroughly warmed,
so that rapid, vigorous growth will
take place. Cultivate as corn, striving
to keep down all weeds, and retain a
dust mulch. The red kaffir corn is the
most satisfactory variety, except in
Oklahoma, where the white is favored.
Other kinds have good qualities and if
seeded variety should be chosen

Waxed Cloth for Budding.

A Florida farmer, writing to the
American Agricultural, says: The
best method of waxing cloth, especial
ly for budding citrus trees, is to melt
beeswax in a stove kettle, and when
hot put in a cheap quality of cotton
cloth which has been folded to a con-
venient size. Two or three yards of
cloth may be folded in one piece for
waxing. Press the cloth down into the
wax until thoroughly saturated, then
take it from the kettle and press be-
tween two boards to remove the sur
plus wax. Unfold the cloth while still
warm and allow it to cool, then tear
it in strips about eight inches wide.
The strips for budding, which are
half an inch wide and eight inches
long, are torn from the ends of these
pieces. Strips waxed in this way will
not become hard and are ready for
use at any time. They fit closely over
the bud and form a covering which is
practically waterproof.

AFFAIRS IN GARNET.
Development work Proceeding in Quiet
but Steady Manner.

Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Garnet. Mont, Dee. 4.-Development
work is proceeding in this district in
quiet and steady manner, with no discov-
cries of startling nature since last July
when the MCDermott ore body was found
The new hoist on the Minnie Palmer
has started up and sinking in the shaft
has also commenced. The ore house at the
Ritchey mine is blockaded with ore, ow-
ing TO the bad roads to Bearmouth. A
cross cut Is being made in the McDermott
from the bottom of the 100-foot shaft to
.he vein. few miners are stopping ore
on the 60-foot level.
The shaft on the International has now
attained a depth of 30 feet When 100 feet
is reached cross cut TO the south will
be made to encounter Il probable ore
body lying in that direction.
On the Austin Major Hornbrook has his
new hoist in operation and the shaft
has attained a depth of 10 feet Some
small streaks of good ore have been cut
on the shaft but not until the l00-foot
level is reached will the main vein be ex-
posed.
The Mammoth mine, at cooma. is now
on a sound paying basis the result of
careful and intelligent management on
the part of the company's superintend-
ent. Mr.. Arthur b. Browne an eminent
mining engineer and analytical chemist
of Boston. Mass. Mr.. Browne has the
companys l0-stamp mill running night
and day treating ore from the mine and
saving up as high as 81 per cent. of its
assay value.
The milling operations are under the
direct supervision of l.. IL. Hurst, a prac-
teal metallurgist of San Francisco
To Mr.. Hurst is due the credit of intro
ducing into the district the canvas plant
system OF catching the fine gold and au-
riferous iron pyrites that otherwise would
escape with the tailings. The canvas
plant feature is the foundation of the re
markedly successful milling operations
but Mr.. Hrust informs us that - per cent
of the gold value of the ore is obtained
by battery and plate amalgamaton. This
alone is good milling.
The product from the canvas plant is
agitated in cyanide solution and the
gold precipitated from the solution by the
ordinary zinc shavings method. The tail
ings from the mill rarely run above 81
pr ton. and usually the assay bead is too
snail 10 weigh or running less that $50.
