Burning Of Muck soils.

It is frequently found that muck
soils, even after the most careful drain
ing, are still unproductive. The fer
tilizing matter which they contain il
in unavailable condition for plants. A
common practice in Ireland and in Eu-
ropean countries is to pare the surface
and after drying to burn the organic
matter. This practice Of burning has
been condemned as exAausting the soil.
but without good reason. The burning
should not extend more than 10 to IS
inches, and it destroys very little avail
able food plant. It is recommended an
one Of the quickest methods Of putting
muck soils into condition for the
growth Of Drainage Journal. ),

GOOD ROADS NOTES.

The farmers of Missouri have organ
ized improved roads committees in
every county in the state.
Highways which IRE rendered inn
passable by ordinary rains-and there
are many of them-are not fit to be
called roads,.
The business men of Bucyrus, O., have
organized for the purpose Of adopt
ing q system Of improving the roads
in that vicinity.
Narrow tires and mud roads should
speedily be sent, hand in hand, as it
were, ''glimmering through the dream
of things that were." 81.
The Mercantile club of Wyandotte
county, Kan, recently passed resolu-
tons favoring good road laws, and will
work for the same at this session of
the legislature.
The Grand Rapids (Aiich.) Herald,
very pertinently observes that the
board of trade Of that city could con-
sistently take a hand in the good roads
movement.
An argument offered for the employ
ment Of prisoners in building roads is
that the fear Of such public degradation
will deter from the commission of petty
crimes, and will lessen the incursion of
tramps into q community.
The cycling associations of Chicago,
which have formed an alliance for &C.
curing better legislation, have practi-
cally decided to drop for the present
the fight against the cycle baggage
law and confne their efforts to move
for good roads.
Road-building by county-jail inmates
10 to be undertaken in Oneida county,
N. Y. This is following the example in
Warren and st. Lawrence counties,
where the plan is in successful opera
ton, even at distance Of six or eight
miles from the Jail.
Under the Higbie good roads law, of
New York, eight miles of stone road
can now be built at cost Of only 81 800
to the property owners. The whole
cost is $4,000, of which the county has
to pay $4,000, the state $4,000, and the
property owners the balance.-Good
Roads.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 5, 1899.

Back of the old Treadwell 240 stamp mill, there Is a big hole that Is hun dreds of feet deep and about 300 yards long and probably 15O yards wide. This biz excavation has been blasted out of solid ore, such as the great mills are running and have been using ever since the mills were put in operation. In the bottom of this big hole are numer- ous openings that lead down to the tunnels below, and through which the ore drops into chutes that load the ore cars, which are then conveyed to the shaft where it is conveyed to the crusher.
 This big excavation is called the Glory Hole.
 Just why they call it the Glory Hole We don't know, unless it is because a great many souls have taken their flight to glory from it's picturesque but dan gerOuS confines.
 We were standing at the edge of the Glory Hole last Friday about noon. We had not been their long until we observed some eight or ten men scam. pering up the side of the great slanting walls and disappear in an excavation or tunnel They were entirely out of sight and we wondered what they were doing in there. Bang, went the dis charge of blast where the men were at work, which was followed by dozen or more and the force of the discharges almost destroyed the drums in our ears. You ought to have seen the rock fly. 4 few minutes after the last dis charge the men emerged from their hiding places, and were soon at their drills preparing for another blast.
 The Glory Hole is a great place. It must be seen to realize its magnitude The amount of ore taken out Is but a trife when compared with the body of quartz in sight. # you ever visit Douglas Island, be sure and see the Glory Hole.
