Mrw, fcuvl .1. SIN t.s ABOUT won x. At ibis time of year, when the stock is chiefly iti pasture, and the barns and gratia (tries are comparatively empty, time should be taken for A General Clearing Out. —All the buildings should be swept out thoroughly, the hay, feed, etc., cleared out, and also all the scat tered grain, with the insects it may contain, and the whole of the premises put in order for the reception of the new crops. GUI Hag ought not to be left to form the bottom of the mow, but put some is here, where it can be got at conveniently at any time. At this lime, also, do any necessary repairs of those parts which were covered up when much hay and grain were in store: and in rainy days Repair the jiooriug to cattle stalls, etc., making sure that all liquid and solid manure shall be saved. The Cattle in the pasture should be looked to daily, that they do not lack water, ami good feed, and to see that none are ailing. Pastures not IP real good heart, may be greatly beueiiued at this season, by shutting the siock out of theiu tor a lew days, and giving them a light dressing of ashes, boue dusl and plaster, or of good superphosphate or guano. Butter. —The secret of making good butter is cleanliness and thoroughness, and the time for the most profitable exercise of the art of buttermaking is June. The grass is abund ant, the cows in full milk, the weather favor able. The milk should not be kept too cool, though this is rarely a fault in dairies. It is enough if it be kept as cool as to° Fahreuheit, though 55° is not too cool. Cream will rise at about this temperature better than at any any other, and the same is best at which to churn. Milk should stand where the air is sweet and fresh, odors from the kitchen or from the stable, or odors of any kind, iadeed, except that of fresh air, should be carefully excluded. Stone floors are desirable, for these can be kept constantly moist and so coolef than others, and the air ought to cir culate freely over and under the pans. Shal low pans are better than deep ones. Work out the buttermilk without touching the hands to the butter, using as little water as possible, or none at all. If the buttermilk is all out, and with it all the milk, sugar and cheesy portions of the milk, butter will keep with very little salt. The more imperfect the working, the more salt is required. In keep ing creain several days, put it where the tem perature will be uniform and cool, and stir well if more is added. Beans. —The white fialil beau may be sown with profit any time during the month. Plant in drills 2 feet apart, the hills being a foot apart. The Blue Pod and White Marrow are the best, the latter ought not be planted later than the 2oth. Corn. —In its cultivation horse power should take the place of the hand-hoe, as far as pos sible, and on many soils it will be found hardly necessary to hoe at all, if the horse cultivation be thorough, and the rows j-uu both ways. Corn Fodder. —Dry weather may suddenly cut short the pasturage, and without a good supply of corn fodder many a farmer would find his milk running very low. Corn should be sowed on ground in good heart, in drills|3 feet apart, manured iu the drili with compost if need be. About 3or 4 bushels is the usual seeding for an acre. The ground should be cultivated between the rows with a horse-hoe or cultivator once or twice. Soot Crops. —We hope none of our readers will neglect to plant roots. Mangel wurtzels should have been planted iu May, but will make a crop in good soil now. The soil for Rutabagas should be rick and mellow, atid 200 or 300 pounds of a good Superphosphate, or an equal quantity of bonedust will do the crop nothing but good. Sow with a good drill 24 inches apart, and thin to a foot apart in the drills, or 15 inches iu very rich land.— American Aqriculturist. PRUNING TREES. He who has planted trees has done well, but he who has watched them and cared for their early growth, has done better. There would be very little to be said about pruning, were the young trees properly looked after. The rubbing off of a superfluous bud here, pinching a rampant shoot there, and the ju dicious use of a pocket knife as occasion re quired, would soon pat a young orchard in the way it should go. But as people will let trees have their own way until they need Pruning, we are obliged to accept pruning, the cutting off of large limbs, as one of the operations that must be done. This and the next are the months in which to do it, as now in the growing season the wounds heal over "kindly." Never cut a limb from a tree un less something is to be gained by it. Indis criminate hacking merely because it is the pruning season, is not to be commended. If the head is too crowded and there is not room for the light and air, thin it; if one branch grows so near another as to chafe it, take it oat; if the tree is disposed to grow one-sided balance it Use a saw with a wide "set," never an axe, though sometimes a heavy chisel driven up from below, will prove effi cient Leave a smooth cut,by paring careful ly with knife or chisel if need be. The wound will heal over ali the better if covered from the air. The old solution of shellac in alco hol is an excellent application, but the price of materials is too high to allow of their gen eral use, and Grafting Wax , applied warm with a brush, is a very useful substitute. One part tallow, two of wax, four of rosin, melted together and applied while warm, will answer the pur pose. The composition may be made harder or softer by altering the proportion of tallow. —American Agriculturist. WORTH KNOWING. One pound of green copperas, costing sev en cents, dissolved in one quart ot water, an d poured down a privy, will effectually concen trate and destroy the foulest smells. For water closets on board ships and steamboats, about hotels, and other places, there is noth ing so nice to cleanse and purify as simple green copperas dissolved in water ; and for sick rooms, it may be placed under the bed in anything that will hold water; and thus render a hospital or other place where there are sick persons, free from unpleasant smells. For batcher's stalls, fish markets, slaughter houses, sinks, and wherever there are putrid and offensive gases, dissolve copperas aud sprinkle it about, and in a very few days the "bad smell" will pass away. If a cat, rat or mouse dies about the house, and sends forth an offensive gas, place some dissolved cop peras in a cup or jar, anywhere within "smell- ing distance," and the aire is sure, f have known a Mock of drv goods which were near- ; ty s|M"iled by a skunk under tne building, to i be cleaned and restored simply hy sprinkling ■ dissolved copperas on the floor. — Salem (a- j zefte.

Americans are proverbial for the avidity and commendable zeal with which they participate in enterprises having for their object the develop ment of our national resources. At one time "Railroads"—at another "Coal"—then "Copper" or "Iron" and more recently "Oil" bavo been the all-absorbing topics. In all these several enterprises, as will be recol lected, those who FIRST took hold of them made money ; some larger amounts than ethers, accord ing to their investments. Mining operations in the fields of Colorado and elsewhere HOIC mainly engross the public atten tion. Considering that several such companies have been already organized—they are now at work—that the reports from their mines are high ly favorable—that it is known that at the present time there are on the way from the ledges of Ne vada and Colorado numerous "bars of silTer" and "bricks of gold," it is believed that the enthusi asm already manifested on the subject will, in a little time, be so greatly increased on the recent and exhibit of these "returns," that innumerable i companies will spring up, whose etock, being bas ! cd at the thru greatly inflated prices of ledges, will necessarily be less desirable than thai now te ! be had—thereby giving to those who avail them selves of the occasion now presented, of securing "original interests;" an opportunity of then diß | posing of the large amount of stock each holder receives, at a handsome advance. With these preliminary remarks the following Prtjtectn is respectfully presented. Tho property of the Company proposes to bo organ izrd by the sale of these " ingioai latere? ts," consists of the following Ledges, ail situated with in a radius of lire miles of Ceuri.it City, Colora do.

THOMAS MABUN, Atl'j at Law, Central City, Colorado. The space of a circular is too limited to give the opinions of numerous distinguished citizens and men of science who have examined this dis trict; the following extracts relate thereto, and that of Professor Edward N. Kent in particular of the New York U. S. Assay Office is directly ia point: Our late lamented President—Mr. Lincoln*—du ring an interview with Speaker Colfax, relative to the hidden wealth of Colorado, Nevada, Ac., said : "1 have very large ideas of the mineral wealth of our nation : I believe it practically incxhausti hie." The Hon. J. P. Upsher, Secretary of the Inte rior, in the Official Report, presented to Congress, dated December sth, 1864, referring to the then present condition of our Western Territories, says: "The wealth embedded in the rocks of that extra • siva region is actually inexhaustible, and it will furnish in future years, indirectly a principal part of our means of liquidating the debt con tracted by the Government for the overthrow of the Great Rebellion." The Hon. 11. P. Bennett, delegate in Congress from Colorado, in a speech before the House of Representatives said: "Judging from what 1 know of the undeveloped resources of this coun try: from what 1 am told by practical miners who arc well informed upou this subject, I do say here to-day before thi.- House and before this Country, to be placet' upon the records and read of all men —that within five year's time, and by the year 1569, the gold fields of Colorado Territory will produce $50,01/11,000 annually : and oven then its full resources of miner;!l wealth in gold alouc re main not wholly developed. 1 speak from the united testimony of many practical miners who have spent many years in the mines of California, when I say : —that the gold-bearing region of Colorado is far more extensive,quite as inexhaust ible, auil the gold-bearing quartz of a much richer quality ihan in California." Professor Edward N. Kent, of the New York Assay Office, says: "As to tho extent of the gold mines of Colora do, I am not prepared to give an estimate, a. I found enough to fully employ my tiiue within a radius of five miles of Central City, [the location of the above Ledges,] but as to the richness of THEM, X have no hesitation in saying, that I he titee them to lit the richest ear discovered. With dciencc, capital and the Pacific Railroad, Colura so is destined in my opinion, to rival or >upur.-ede California and Australia, and liecome the El Do rado of the World." Tlie opinion entertained by those ulonad of claims in tbis district, is shown by tbe following extract : English capitalists have purchased £BOO,OOO of the Colorado mining lauds, ami their agents and employees are new en route to.develop the same. TV': claims arc principally in Russell and Trail districts, and a recent purchase hast been the Bea ton Lode of 100U feet for which they paid £IOO,- tiOll. An idea of the value of some claims (100 feet each) may be formed when the fact is considered that often occurs that they yield millions of dol lars, and have in several instances been sold for $25,000 per foot. Mr. Fields, from 33£ feet of tbe Bobtail Lode has taken out already over $200,000 in gold, and $266,000 has been offered and refused for 34J feet of this same lode, equal to SBOO,OOO for a claim of one hundred feet. As the purchase of either of the above lotlos would require more money than the majority of persons have at counuaud, it has been determine.! to consolidate them, and to divide them into Twelve Hundred and Fifty ORIGINAL," SHAKES which will cost the-subscribers hereto ONE IIt'NItKEI, IIOLI/.tK.H EACH. thus affording the man of limited means, as well as the capitalist, an opportunity to secuie an in terest in this region of -'practically inexhausti ble" wealth. As all are aware, the ueuai plan adopted for the development of such a property i* to form a company and issue certificates of stock. The plan here proposed may be considered prelimiu ry to the formation of two or more Companies on these properties' which are subject to no royalty, lease or mortgages. The FUBSCIUBKIIS can then upon this solid and substantial basis, elect oß'ocrs from among them selves, each subscriber being eligible to the posi tion of an officer of the Company. * In order that handsome returns may ho speedily realized, these subscriptions are based upon the proposition that the subscribers immediately on receipt of the Deeds (now ready for delivery, and which may be examined at the office of the un dersigned before subscribing,) may lease their iands on heavy royalties, or at once organize Companies in the usual way fur which there is an ample basis. To accommodate those of umderato means these "interests" are put at slllO each, in order to get the list filled at once, and to prevent any delay in the organization of the Company. Considering the numerous valuable "hedges" which constitute the bai of this enterprise—the fair and equitable features—the low prices at which "interests" in it arc otfered, and that each interest entitles the holder to his pro rata share of stock in all the Companies that may be organ ized upon them—also recollecting that in all, there are only 1000 interests to be sold, and it would only require one hundred gentlemen each to take ten ($1000) to absorb the whole, it is pre sumed that it is hardly necessary to suggest to those desiring to secure une or mure of these orig inal interests, to at once send in their aubserip tions. Checks or Drafts should be drawn to the order of the undersigned, whose endorsement will be a receipt, in addition to the one that will be prompt ly scut on receiving thcui.
