Rich mines OF the Swauk.

DR.. o. NJ. Graves returned on Saturday
last from the upper country and brought
with him glowing reports regarding the
Swsuk mines. He thinks this seasons
work will make the district famous and,
OF course, he hopes to share in the general
prosperity with his Morning mine which
gives promise OF rich returns.
The McCauley and Henton placer, To-
Gated Just above Bigpey's, is well repay
ing the work of going down 1913 feet be.
fore striking bedrock. In run of four
days last week forty ounces, valued at
$500, were cleaned up. The gold is very
coarse and varies in size from pin hea
up to nuggets the size of silver dollar
the largest nugget weighing s35. Six
men, forming night and day shift are
now working in this mine.
A work that is expected to largely tell
the tale of the permanency and richness
of the Swauk district is now being prose-
cuted in Lyons gulch, which comes int o
Williams creek at Meersville. Messrs.
Maxwell, CASTILLO and other Northern
Pacific employees own a very promising
claim there and they are working day
and night shifts running 400 foot tunnel
to cross-cut the main vein at depth OF
500 feet. This work is expected to be
finished about the middle of April.
A rich vein of sulphurets, 8 feet wide
has been struck in the Floden mine.
This is % feet beyond the vein he has
been 80 proftably working.

out by one man in one day last week.
The next day his cleanup dropped down
to SIS but the average in all of the work
ing mines is very satisfactory.

Nest valuable Crop.

Ifthe question was asked, "What
is the most valuable farm crop in
the United Slates?" probably four
persons out of five would answer
wheat. That has the most said
about it, and it doubtless is the
leading money crop" in many
states, yet, as matter of fact, lis
value is less than one. half of the
corn crop, and only abont two
thirds that of the hay crop. The
value of the six leading staples OF
the country OIL the average for the
past eight years was as follows:
Corn, $650,000,U0O; hay. $451, OOO,-
900; wheat, $322,O0O,OOO; cotton,
$276,O00,0O0; oats, $20O,OOO,OOO;
potatoes, $9O,OOO,0OO.
Tobacco ranks seventh in the list,
and was about one-half that Of thu
potato crop. The old cry of "cotton
is king" no longer goes. Corn is
king by large Majority.

A CM+ap fDai..t.

A old, weather-st stained, implanted
building sometimes looks we'll in
picture, but in reality it's an eye
sore that no good farmer likes to
have on his place, Good paint is a
good investment, for it prolongs the
life of the building as well as adj
ding infinitely to its appearance.
A cheap paint, suitable for farm
buildings and fences, is made from
skim milk and hydraulic cement.
The cement is placed in bucket
and sweet milk is gradually added,
stirring constantly, until the mix.
ture is of about the consistency Of
good cream. The stirring must be
thoroughly done in order that the
mixture may flow readily from the
brush, but if too thin it will run
when applied to the building and
look streaked. The proportions
should be based upon about gall.
Ion OF the milk, as this will make
a convenient quantity to mix when
one person is to apply it. II too
much is prepared, the cement will
set and harden before it is used. To
this quantity Of milk add about
quart Of the cement. Probably a
little more than this will I've re-
qnired, the operator using judgment

FOR The FARMER.
ayssenl "a. Farming.


System in farming is important.
Lay out proper fields, and have q
map Of the same; devote each field
to suita BILE crope in succession, with
right manuring, basing the crops
% the adoption Of the soil; do every
thing at the right time, making the
most Of experience and the light Of
science.
Make plat OF the farm and
mark in each division what you in
tend to do with it the coming season.
What crops will in this or that
field and how much fertilizers is to
be spread on the land.
Where it can be done, it is almost
always the case that an indirect
method Of selling the crops is the
better one. A drove of hogs fatten-
ed on cheap corn or wheat will
usually bring a double price for
that grain.
Ii discouraged, there is better
way than to sell the farm; rather
sell half the land and make oath 10
yourself to put forth your best ef-
forts in cultivating the other half in
a more intensive way. This will he
better for the land, better for the
crops and better for the man.
Land which grows a strong crop
OF clover will, if rightly managed,
grow good corn, wheat or potatoes
after it; without question this is the
cheapest way to mainatin fertility,
and to save labor and money. We
should make possible use of clover
as fertilizer.
On clay land especially the APP
plying OF coarse, fresh manure is
beneficial on account of the me-
chanical effect produced. Glover
also loosens mp the soil by pence
trating it, and when it decays helps
in the same mechanical way.
The value of fertilizer applied
to a field Of wheat may be sufficient
to make an enormous crop, and vet
there may he but slight yield
procured, because of deficiency Of
phosphoric acid. The fertilizer
needed would have cost no more
To feed any crop economically we
should know just what it needs.
Some day farmers will learn that
it is a vital point in their affairs to
raise their own seed corn anil take
such care of it that every grain
planted will grow. This would be
II stride toward better farming.
Seed corn should not be exposed To
damp weather and then left where
it can freeze.
