Only known as a part. of the Great
VAmericau desclt, before there was a
single railroad entering Drover. This
colony possesses about 100,000 acres of
exerilent soil in the valley of the Cache la
Poudrs I'chr. It is all fenced in and We
enter the town through a gateway, as if
going into private grounds Tile popula-
tion of tilts town is about 4.000. On
entering thlsplace it is found to be laid
out in meets and squares in the same
manner as a large City With rows of trees
on each side of the streets. The houses
are, as a general thing, set back from the
road with a lawu in front of them and a
garden by the side; though in the more
thickly settled portion, many of the
stores and public buildings are of brick.
In this town are located some of the finest
grist mills in the entire west. ’1 here is a
fine building for the high school. There
are also banks, and an elegant hotel,
which is conducted on strictly temper-
'ance principlemand the town itself has‘
achieved considerable reputation as a
temperance town. A ride through some
of tlic principal,stret ts show that a spirit
of enterprise, as well as heather-ls, charac-
ltI‘ll‘dS the inhabitants. Bot passing out
into the suburbs, let us take a circuit. of
the colony, and here behind a fine pull‘ of
horses, we cross the Cache la l’oudre ovr r
abridge and are soon in the open and
feucelcss fields where all mathematical
squares cease, and where the roads are
moi-sing each other at Various angles.
It. well for us that, we are not. left to find
our own Way through these inlrlCacles,
butbavc plaCed ourselves in the Care of
Rev, Mr. Cook. who, as pilot. and con-
ductor, utldcrsilthde the bt‘allugs of tur-

excellent future where Stacks of buy and
grain are in abundance, and where the
smoke and pulling strain show that the
threshing machine is beating out. the
grain. Again We see that plowing is
gt log on, not like it is ill the East where
the plowman follows the plow as fruit. as
the Sflull-llkl' moVenient of the oxen will

afiair. What is that than doing over
yonder, as he rides along driving his. six
horses? Why, that, is a set of plows. and
the earth is being turned OVrI'
more rapidly. In another place a
man is again seen riding
through a potatoe lot, and judging by the
way that. the lalge potatoes lie scattered

One man plows [him out, and a gang of
some twelve to twenty men are busy in

has rarely. been our lot. to see larger or
finer potatoes than are here on the ground
And now we couie to the neat houses and
couages where the farmers reside. Statue
of these are built of brick, others are
frame buildings, while others still occupy
what are called (lull-tints, and which
somewhat resemble a large burrow ; but
the half dugoouta are really fine affairs,
and' which give the appearance of a wee
baaemeul, partly under ground, but with
the upper part roofed as in a regularly
built house. These are generally built
on the side of a hill. Yonder is one. We
will drive up to the door and take a
closer look at it. Everything is neat. and
nice within, and the lady, with her in-
fanf, comes out to meet us and to invite
us in, which, for want of time, we are
compelled to decline’. A few steps to
the right is the barn where her husband is
just. preparing to go out with his team.

Mr. John Dudley : I have had a limited

Wt'II. You will need your rye stra'w
where whvnl. straw will not do, and your
wheat straw can be used for feeding. We
shall learn after a while that a ton of
wheat and out straw, when properly tell,
is equal to the vrain tlwmsu Ives, while
corn cob is better than meal :llolle,even to

'hat il toll of wheat bran, when fed to an
animal, is: of value about $12 But. this
is, perhaps. drifting from the. question
WIit‘IIil'l' it will pay to raise it. here may
be dt'tcr'milit'd by the way we utilize the
grain and straw. I say, make the grain
into 3 -ur. nee the middlings for middle-
cakes, feed the brim. out the wheat slow
and buy cotton seed meal to supply what
is lacking. What good results came from
putting in a little corn‘cob and rye, oats,
and, in fact, ti mixture of almost as many .
urains as you can ? After clover. if pos-
sible, sow eorn the first year, outs the
second, and seed only with clover. Mow
or pasture off the first crop, and plow
over after the last crop has been taken ofl.
Plow well (on this may depend your
crop), liltrrow well. Use rotted manure
for top dressing and you may expect a
good crop on a decent lot. You may not
get it, blit if you do not sow it you are
sure not to. We have changed otlr see"
from “Clawsou” to “Washington Glass "
We hope it will po~scss little better mil
ting qualities than “Claw-son" and be as
prolific. It so, we shall be satirled. I '
believe the club is raising only four varie-
ties. "Clawson,"’ “Lemon," “Washinu-

QUEER CONVEYANCES. ‘
Some birds are known to fly long dis—
tances, carrying their young on their
backs. Small birds take passage across
the Mediterranean sea on the backs of
larger and stronger ones. They could
not fly so far. Their strength wouldgive
out and they would drop in the water.
'Along the northern shore of the sea, in
autumn, the little birds assemble to wait:
the coming of cranes from the North, as
people wait for the train all a railroad 5m.
lion. With the first cold blast the cranes
arrive flock after flock. They fly low
over the cultivated fields. They utter a
peculiar cry as of warning or calling. It
answers the same purpose as the ringing
of the bell when the train is about to
start. The small birds understand it:
they get, excited. They hasten aboard,
scrambling for places. The first to come
get the best seats. If the passengers are.
too many somewill have toflit back again
to the hedges until the next train. How
they chatter their good-by’s, those who
go and those who stay. They have no
tickets, but all the same they are conveyed
safely. Doubtless the great birds like
this warm covering for their backs. In
this way the small birds pay their fate.
And it is these last who must be out in
the wetif it storms. The little passen-
gers are of different species, like Ameri-
cans, Irish, Germans and Chinese travel-
ing together incurs or steamships. {l'lieir
journey takes them through the air, high
above the wafers. They are close com-
panions on ,the way. By and by they
reach the beautiful South country. Tl'ro
they build nests and sing as they build
here and sing for us in our happy sum-
mer time. Surely it is plain that God
cares for {the sparrows.
lIIINES 0F .PRECIOUS STONES.
Gems of all kinds possess a curious in-
terest.- to human beings. From the earli-
est times precious stones have had a
strange attraction for the wealthy and
powerful of the earth. .So far no diam-
ond fields have been discovered in the
United States, but precious stones are
found in several localities. In New Mex.
ico their is a famous turquoise mine
which must have been worked literally a
thousand years ago, for it yielded up its
treasures to the Aztecs and to other pre- ‘
historic races which dominated in Mex-
icoandadjoiningcounfries. Itisbelieved
this mine can still be used for bringing
out its peculiar treasures, but in the eager
hunt for gold and silver mines, the min-
ing'of gems is overlooked. In Alexan-
der County, North Carolina, they are dis-
covering emeralds, and in such quantities
that the mining of them is likely to be-
come a profitable industry. A Mr. Hid-
den has sunk a shaft some thirty-six feel:
on the Stevenson plantation, and in it
discovered numerous pockets of emer-
alds. These are not of much commercial
value, as the colors are defective, and
flaws in the gems are numerous, but fur-
ther mining may develop a great wealth
of these gems.
Anenthusiasft named Byme, in Mott
Haven, New York, is even now investi-
gating the subject of diamond-making.
He thinks“ he is on the point of finding
out the secret of nature in the produc«
tion'of diamonds. But this is probably,
as wild a dream as that of the alchemists
of the middle ages who supposed they
could transmute the base): metals into
gold. '
A MEXICAN BREAKFAST.
A crackling fire is burning in the open
air and on it are heaped a pile of oysters,
cooking for breakfast. The other mem-
bers are now astir—the ladies of the house.
Their dress is decidedly neglige. The
elder lady, who must be the meme, has
a black skirt, a white bodice and a thin
black shawl. Her hair is twisted info a
knot and it looks innocent, very innocent,
of the comb. But her manners are per-
fect and her smile of welcome and her
gracious wish, asked so prettily, for you
to pass into the breakfast, are incompar-
able. It is a Iiftle room. The floor is of
red brick, broken in some places, and you
find your fool: imbeddedin red brickclust.
The table has no cloth. It is of deal,
and the chinaware is coarse. But: the
eatabIes are in profusion. There is half
a kid before the host and a pile of smok-
ing oysters in the centre of the table,
fresh from the earth, with grit and ashes
and dirt, and the shell has burst and the
grit and ashes have found their way to
the oyster itself, but who cares ? What
easier way is there to eat the dainty ? And
then there are huge jugs of milk and
cofi'ee, and chocolate and tea, and hospi-
tality and eggs, and geniality and tripe,
and females and good humor. Presently
a friend drops in, cigarette in mouth, and
he makes pretense to fling it: away, but
the courteous host restrains him and so
he smokes on, provided he shares not in
the repeat. '
‘NO MAN'S LAND.
Byan accident in locating boundary
lines, it is alleged, a bit of Uncle Sam’s
territory comprising of 3,840. 000 acres is
included in no sin: . or territory, and is,
in efl'ect,.without legal form, and void.
The commissioner of public lands has
made the discovery, and it is this unfet-
tered region that he recommends be sur:
veyed and brought under national juris-
diction. The strip of country is in the
form of a parallelogram, and borders on
Texas, Colorado, Kansas, Indian Terri-
tory and New Mexico. It is said to be
well adapted for agriculture and espec-
ially for grazing. At present if. has no
government, no courts, nothing but stock
and their keepers. The latter are it. law
unto themselves, and a terror to the peo-
ple of the adjacent territories, who, inturn,
are regarded much in the light of cut-
throats by civilized communities. The
public lands commissioner recommends
the attaching of this hitherto unknown
country to New Mexico, and its inhabi-
tants brought under the laws of that ter-
ritory. This plan does not contemplate
too great: rapidity in civilizing the new
rec'ion, but as rapid, perhaps, as the corn
tilt-ions will admit.
A RARE OLD BIBLE.
There is an old bible up in the Con-
- gressional library at Washington which is
well worth a walk to the Capitol to exam-
ine. It is of Italian origin, and is sup-
posed to have been written in the thir-
teenth or fourteenth century; but the ac-
tunl dateis unknown. It is written in
Latin, upon vellum, in clear, bold char-
acters, . and extremely uniform. The
writing isin two columns, about three
inches wide, and a margin of two inches.
It is embellished with 146 miniature
paintings, and upward of 1,200 smaller
illuminations, which are beautifully ex-
ecuted, and are as brilliant tc-Jay as the
day they were done. The initials of books
:12ch prologues are two and a half inches
Ill height, and those of the chapters are
one inch in height. It is contained' in
two large volumes, and. cost the Govern»
meal; $2,200in gold when gold was at a
high premium, and was purchased at a
lull-e of the library of Henry Perkins.
