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.—

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.

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

SOLICITORS.
Theodore Cuyler, Esq., Robert D. Coxe, Esq.
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

This is to certify that X have carefully examin

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

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.
