Selection of Tobacco Seed.

The Tobacco Expert of the Agri-
cultural Department of Victoria, Aus
tralia, gives the following directions
with regard to saving tobacco seed
SO as to improve the variety, or to
prevent its deterioration.
Plants should be selected for the
following qualities:
CD Purity of type; CD Size, shape,
and number of leaves; Cd Size and
position of mid-ribs and veins; CD
Early ripening; 60 Curing proper
ties; CO. Easy working in regard to
suckering, etc.; Cd Healthy seed.
Since self-fertilized plants yield
more vigorous seed than cross-ferti-
lized, the central cluster of buds on
the selected plants should, if there is
any probability of cross fertilization,
be covered with muslin bag before
the flowers open. The other branch
es sand buds should be removed
Plants which grow large number
Of leaves are those which produce
the best wrappers. One healthy to-
bacco plant will, if properly treated,
provide enough seed to plant rs to so
acres. The lower leaves of the Sc
lected plants may be removed as they
ripen, and cured.

orange and vegetable growers of this

orange and vegetable growers of this
State are very much to blame for
the low prices which their produce
nets them. Before the freeze of 1894
05 although the orange crop of the
State was much larger than any that
we have had since, yet owing to the
influence of the Fruit Exchange
prices were kept up much better than
they have been for the last few years.
since we have begun to have large
crops again. AS it seems to be i'm
possible for the old Fruit Exchange
to revive, it is important that new
organization should be formed to con-
troll the marketing of our citrus fruits
If the same organization could also
handle the vegetable crops it would be
still better, as it would furnish steady
employment for the employees of the
company. Moreover if one society
controlled the entire output of fruits
and vegetables of this State, it could
dictate terms to transportation COM
panies, commission men and all who
have had hand in using up the
profits, which should belong to the
grower Of course, some will say
that this is all visionary, and impos-
sib1e of fulhl1ment Perhaps so, but
we shall live in hope of better time
coming.

Controlled Marketing.

This is the motto of the American
Society of Equity, the organ of the
Society is Up-To-Date Farming. AS
you know, we have often called at
tention to the fact that the farmer is
the only producer who has no voice
in saying what his work shall bring
him. Many of our agricultural ex-
changes are opposing this society,"
Some of them base their opposition
upon charges against the character of
the publisher of the paper, who has
been the leader in the movement. We
know nothing about the merits of the
case, but it does not seem to us just
to denounce society on account of
one of it's officers Whatever he may
be, the object of the society is certain
ly good one Whether it will &C
complish anything or not is another
question. No organization of farm
ers has ever yet succeeded in getting
together enough members to have any
perceptible effect upon prices. The
Grange has become quite power for
good among farmers, but it has never
aimed to control prices of farm pro-
ducts.
We feel sure that the day will come
when farmers will lay aside their
jealousy of each other and unite in
compact body which will be able
to set it's own price on the crops
that are to be sold
This is not Socialism nor is it
trust, but more in the line of a union,
similar to the great labor unions
which have become SO powerful with
in the last few years.
The last number of Up-To-Date
Farming has considerable to say about
reported speach of Secretary Shaw
at a dinner given in his honor He
advised all those present "Who still
pray, get down on your knees to-
night and pray God to save this coun-
try from it's prosperity"
ne ed1tOr says, very truly, that
what this country needs is not less
prosperity, but a more equal distri-
button of it.
The farmers work hard and pro-
duce large crops, which are sold at
prices fixed by some one else; then
the carriers get large slice of that

what he can get of what is left The

accessible, and yet thoroughly pro-
tected from the stock, that is always
ready to help themselves.
This calls to mind an incident that
occurred a few years ago, when my
next neighbor lost an $50 cow from
overlooking. One day the COW was
discovered at the feed barrel and
driven away. The next day she was
there again and driven off. The third
day the family were all away and the
COW again made a raid on the feed
No one being around to drive her
away she ate all she wanted, and
when the family returned was in
very bad condition and that was the
last of her-$8o gone by neglecting
to either remove the feed Or secure
the feed or secure the cover, when
due warning had been given.
Hundreds of wagon sheds are so
arranged that it is necessary to pull
the wagon out before hitching up and
then back it in after unhitching.
Sometimes two vehicles are kept in
the same shed, one behind the other,
SO that the one nearest the front
must be gotten out in order to get
at the one you want.
AS this work has to be done by
hand you are very apt to leave num-
Der one out until you get back
Now, it may cost little more to
build wagon house SO you can
drive in and out, hitching and un-
hitching inside but it will pay, if you
have load on and it is raining you
can drive into a dry place, or you
can load up at night ready to drive
to the market in the morning, and
labor will be saved and that is mon
ey. If in addition you put doors on
both sides to keep out the hot, drying
wind, for the wind blowing on
wagon or buggy is almost as injuri-
Gus as letting it stand out, you will
will soon save enough in repairs to
pay for the whole building. Keep
your vehicle out of the rain, the sun
and the wind when not in use.
There is no economy in trying to
save penny on everything you can.
Weigh the facts we'll, and if by in
vesting a dollar now you can save
S. or $40 in the next four or five
years it will pay you to skimp a
little closer and do it.
Now let me tell you how to make
feed bin secure from stock. Of course
you have your feed in a room not oc-
cupled by the stock Perhaps it is
an alcove cut off from the stock
room by low PARTITION But doors
will be left open sometimes, no mat
ter how careful we may be, and stock
are always investigating and searching
for feed if given chance
This is how I make my feed bin:
Take two barrels Cor three if needed)
Of just the same height I use sugar
barrels, as they are larger than flour
barrels. See that the hoops are driv-
en- down tight, and then secure them
in place with two or three small
nails, clinching all the nails that come
through on the inside. See that the
bottom is in tight and secure, and the
same old barrel will last for years.
Now place them side by side, with

Loss OF Farm implements, called
to mind several thoughts that might
be we'll to add to what was said in
that article
That the loss sustained by not TAX
ing care of tools and machinery is i'm
mense must be acknowledged by
every observing person.
There is also another expense
which by little fore-th thought might |
be easily avoided. If there was al
specific place for every tool, and it |
was always returned to it's place, not
when the job was completed" but
every night, considerable time would
be saved which is frequently spent
searching for tools when they are
wanted.
A near neighbor Of the writer
dropped his hoe where he was work.
ing, nearly half mile from home,
when the call came for dinner, and
it SO happened that he did not return
after dinner, nor for several days; but,
needing the hoe, was obliged to walk
out in the field to get it. How much
easier it would have been to take it
home when he went, and then carry it
back again.
Another instance is where a hoe
was thrown down to await the return
of its user, and rolled into ditch /
and was lost for several months, the
owner declaring some one had stolen
it. Months later it was found COM
pletely ruined
The writer once went to a nelghbor !
to borrow a harrow, but Mr. Neigh
Dor did not remember where he had
used it last, so some time was spent
searching for it. At last it was found
in thicket of weeds and was so
rotten that it was unfit for USE
Some plow hands leave their plow
standing in the ground over night, or
for days at a time, causing the
mouldboard to rust, and when they
start to work again it is sometimes
several hours before their p1ow will
turn good furrow.
1t may seem foolish to carry hoe.

time, and besides it is much quicker-.|
time iS saved
But when you bring home tools
where do you put them? Have you
certain place for each tool on the
farm, and is it always there when
not in use? The writer we'll remem-

long handled tools and a shelf for
short tools, and in the darkest night
ever known either father or myself
could lay Our hands on any special !
tool we wanted.
But while this was very convenient
there were other things about the
barn and stable that were not so han
dy, and it took some hard thinking |
and planning by the writer to get his |
present barnyard in some kind of con-
venient shape.

many things to consider to make it |

BONANZA MINE
At ALTA CAMP
Why South Columbus Stock
Has Suddenly Jumped to
So a Share.

Ii was reported yesterday that the east
drift from the Quincy tunnel in the South
Columbus Consolidated, the drift which
is following the first fissure cut in the
tunnel, had connected with the great north
and south contact which cuts through
Rustier hill. That report was given as
the reason why the cOmpanyS stock
jumped from $l-75 to 81 a share
At the offices of the company il was
learned that the contact had not, so far
as the superintendent knew, been reached.
&c was stated. however, that the drift had
been in a full face of sulphide ore such
as might be expected at the contact for
twenty feet and that a point had been
reached where, if the contact ledge held
its dip, Ii should be tapped. Manager
Tony Jacobson stated that his brother,
a o. jacobson, who is directing opera
tons at the mine, had telephOned down
Sunday afternoon that he had sent in
with the heavy sulphides of the Columbus
Consolidated and that the drift in the fis-
sure mentioned was in solid mass of the
same character OF material that he had
forwarded to the local offices. This ore
had not been delivered when Manager
jacobson was seen late in the afternoon,
and the presumption is that it viii come
in this morning.
We are not counting this as q strike,
said Mr.. jacobson. I'VE have had the ore
in the fissure all the way from the tun-
mel, but the character of the sulPhideS,
as described to me, leaves little room to
doubt that our fOndeSt expectations are
to he realized at this point in the mine.
Developments here are not the only
ones that have to do with the present
strong tone of the stock. however At a
point about leo feet farther in the tun-
mel. another east drift is being run on
what we call the big fissure. For the
last go feet this drift has been going
through an ore body that averages twelve
feet thick, from wall TO wall, and the
mass OF the ore, just as it is broken, is
worth SIS ton. This drift is being run
a depth of about 7o0 feet below the sur
face on the dip of the vein and, as there
is ore on top. il is reasonable to suppose
that the shoot is continuous for the entire
706 feet down to the level of the drift If
that proves true. and l believe il will,
there is over 100000 worth of it in the
shoot, though il should cut off in the
drift right now. But il won't for the
drift is headed for the same contact that
the drift l. 500 feet back is now approach
ing, and the ore showing is growing
as the drift is advanced. The
South Columbus Consolidated is rapidly
developing into big mine and the work
under way is such that we shall be ready
to mine on an extensive scale during the
present season. The company IS amply
provided with money and the mine is go
ing to be opened right. We have got
good showing of ore in several other
places in the property and these viii be
heard from by and by.

these samples: No. ] went AS per cent

presumed. was taken of some particular
kind of material in the vein chat Man
ager Snyder wanted to know about par
ticularly.
The Rising Sun shaft is located in the
eastern portion of the company's terri
tory, and the ledge is one that it was
decided 10 explore just a few months ago.

If the samples given represent what is to
be an average of the ore in car lots,

will begin sinking in the Zack shaft again
on Sunday, and that conditions in the

Lakers are Interested the shaft is down
into the suIphides and the outlook is
fine.
A couple of days were spent in the
Yerington district and the properties from
the Western Nevada to the Bluestone
were gone ever Mr. Joseph was taken
with the camp and its mines and pre-
diets great future for IT. He was par
ticularly well pleased with the wonder
ful showing of splendid sulphide ore bod
les in the Mason Valley, but declares
that there is a string of properties along
that particular zone that must make big
mines.
The Nevada Hills property at Fairvisw
he declares. is a remarkably big and rich
mine. 1t has now been opened on four
levels and IL is no exaggeration at ALL
he says. to say that there are $500 tons
of ore in sight. ore that can be meas
ured up. which, is worth in the neigh
borhood Of $50 a ton. He was not par
ticularly Impressed with Wonder, but de-
clared that the new camp of Regent.
thirty-five miles southwest of Fairview
and eighteen miles east Of Schurz, is
destined TO be a winner. Here the ores
carry high values in silver and the de-
velopment being done is Of character
calculated TO demonstrate and make
mines.
Mr.. Joseph will go to Bingham today
and few days later he will make an
other trip to Nevada.
