A Nugget Noe WR w3nteher' rnfre. Nevada's frst nugget was mined with a butcher's knife. John Orr Mtarted across the plains In-1849. The roads were bad, the weather was worse, and he was obliged to remain through the winter at Salt Lake. In April he re sumed his Journey. He had a partner named Nick Kelly, after whom Kelly's Ravine is named, and in the company was Wm. Preuse, now living in Nurb City, about forty miles southeast of Bait Lake. Prouse had worked in mines be fore gold was discovered In Coloima, and was a good prospector. One day the train stopped on the edge of what is now known as Gold Canyon, near the Ca reon River, to let the animals feed on some. bunch grass found growing among the sage bush. Prouse at noon time took a pan, and, goingdown to tho gulch, began washing dirt, in a few mi nutes getting color to the value of a feweents. Orr then named the placeGold Canon. The train soon after resumed travel, going to the head of the Carson Valley. There they met a party of seven, who iad left the train at the sink of the Humboldt, intending to go in ad vance to California and select good loca tions for the remainder of tile party. -They had been unable to cross the coutry, and had becon lost in tile snow lin tile mountains four or five (lays, till able to find the divide to liangltown. A stay in Carson for three weeks fol lowed. when Orr, Kelly and several otlirs returned to Gold Canon and re sutned prospecting. Kelly and Orr welt up the canyon until a little fork wa reached, when work was begun. The party had a few tools, and Orr had nothing but a knife. Wile Kelly was working he noticed a very narrow place at the fork, where the water barely Covered a slab of slate rock. Idly lie exatinted it, and notting a small crevice near the edge, drove the knife Into it, breaking out a piece. Theo water running over it washed away thO underlying dirt, and in a few see onds lie discovered a gold ntigget. where the rock had covered it. It was quickly rcmuoved, and afterwards fo-und to weigh $825. This was on the 1st of June, 18-0, nearly thirty years ago.

IWAsHINGS FROSt RoADs.-The wash. liga fron i'the public roads that aeoU mulate in aitehes and pooli into which they lead contain a very large amount of fertilizing material. They contain anmong other valuable materials the solid and liquid droppings of animals, the foliage and stalks of plants, the loaves of trees, and earth of various sorts that his been reduced to a great degree of fiteness by the feet of ani iais aid the wheels of carriages. The value of the first-named substances is acknowledged by all farmers. Many are unacquainted with tie use of finely pulverized esrth, but those whlo have esppioyeg it speak of it In the highest Lerms. 'fie sweepings of the streets of most European cities amid towns are disposed of for more than enough to pay for collecting them. They are dif 1icult to handle as they tire Ilaole to be blown about by the wind. When ap. plied as top-dressing to grass land they produce remarkably good results. The lke is true of their use on grain fields. rhe loose material on roadbeds are car ried by rains into ditches where they accumulate or are convoyed, if the land is descending; luto hollows. There they accunulate, and alter the water lihas passed out of them to drainage or evaporation, they assume a compact form. Thie consistency of the tuatorial allows it to be lifted by the shovel into earts very readily. It may be spread over the grass land where it will disin tegrato by the action of rain, or it miay be applied to soil that is devoted to any cultivated crops. The value of finey pulverized soil as a fertilizer is ad mitted by all who have experimented with it and itsemployment, will be gen orat in the agriculture of the future. SteRDIN(I TO (nASS.-Notwithstand* ing the tact that grass seeds sell for a higher price than for several years, it will be a saviig of cents and inl expelso of dollars to stint tMe quantity of seed sown beyond a certain limit. No ex act quantity culn be named as that ne oessary to be sown on an acre of ground, for differcnt varieties of soil require a dfferent amount of seed. A sandy soil should have more seed sown ti it, thain a heavy or fertile one, and with the harrows commonly used, we believe that, most farmers do not seed atillen3tly heavy. With a fi.e, for. tile, moist tid smooth bed, one peek of timotly, one-half bushel of red-top, timid four pounds of clover are amply sutillient to seed an acre. Tito quai tity If applied eveily to all nere would give aboit niltie Reeds per squmare inch, anid those farmners who. are sowt ug dou hlt' mind triple that. qnmantity ii a soil poorly pulverized, atit then mneven aid improperly covering it, shouli spend a few hotir; bet.ween iow and seed time iII comsidermig their old methods of secding.

If the soil is made thoronghly tine, deeply pitiverized, and the surface made suooth before the gra.s seed is sown, we belleve farters would save suil HeMt seed in a few years to pay for improved harrows now so bAlly ieeded to cover grain seeds, and unless imple ments are used that were specially de signed for that. pirpose, there must be at loss of more than oie-ialf of the lumtit(y of the seedsown by imporleet tlnd too deep covering.

Well-cooked oat meal, the grains nearly whole and not "all in a mush," is quite good, but is not accessible, and Is not liked by all. Latterly we have found the following very good, especially for a late supper or lunch, eaten only an hour or two before retiring: Toast some elles of bread protty well, scraping oil any blackened, charred portion, lay the slices on a plate, preferably a soup plate, and pour on cold milk enough to wet it through, and leave half an inch or so In depth of milk * in the plate. Gcod milic; a little extra cream in it is all the better, and a very trifle of salt Improves it for our taste. Put over the toast thus prepared an inverted large earthen bowl, or tin basin, large enough to cover it and set down upon Lhe plate all around. Put this in a warm, not very hot, stove oven, two, three, or more hours In advance. The milk will cook and evaporate-and its substance be condetised in the toast, while the cover will keep the toast imolst. It is then very good, and eats well without butter, though a little inay he used it desired. Profit, 81,200.

Trout in the Rocky Mountains. - A writer says, In the month of July, 1808, 1 captured in the headwaters of the Gualupita River, in the Taos Mountains, New Mexico, in one morning's fishing, using a -sixteen ounce trout rod, made in St. Louis, fourteen speckled trout, the sinallest ol which Weilied three pounds and two ounces, and the largest four pounds and fourteen ounces. I took these trolit within half a mile, and the most of them from under an old beaver dam, using both fly and grasshopper. In June, 1869, 1 took from the Rio Colorado Uhicita, in the same moun tains. a large number of trout from one to four pounds, where I do not believe - any.white man ever fished before. I 3 was on a gold hunting expedition in - the Cinarron Valley, and had crossed the mountains for a hunt and fish with two companions. I had been fishing Lor some two hours with but little suc cess, when I reached a spot on the stream that promised to be a perfect El Dorado, for my first cast gave me a fine fish, at least three prounds. For about 100 yards Ihe streaun had narrowed and deepened, and was well covered by tall grass; my second east gave me a chance of fastening to something that upset ne mentally and physically, for I lost him in about two minutes, as I did my i fly and suell. "He's a whopper." said I to ny self, "and I'll got him before I go ho0ne,'' bo I marked the spot, and making a detour, I fished the stream for a tnile, and took a-turn until after noon. On retirning I commenced try. ing to find my lost hook; of course, not the fish that took it.' Fly after fly, grasshopper aifter grasshopper, moth, worm, everytiting I could think of did I bait with,but a happy thought struck me I sat down and opened one of my larg est fish; in his stomach I found piecem of a kind of root that I did not reco gnize as ever having seen before; they were about one-half inch in length, white, soft., and, on tasting I found them sweet and aromatic. I concluded to try one of these pieces as a bait. I did so, and it was a success, for I struck a fish that took all m.Y nerve and exper lence to take care of. For nearly one hour I did all 1 could to conquer him, and at last succeeded. And when I had handed him, by wading in a shal low lace that I had coaxed him into, and laid him on the grass, I thought that it was a very whale in size. I took him to camp and weighed him. '.Now for the big part of it; he actully weighed nine pounds and fourteen ounces, and it was a trout-the biggest fish that had ever been seen in New Mexico. The natives andl people wvho saw the fish pronounced it a true speck led trout. The stream is at least 1,500 miles from the sea water, 8,090 foot above thie sea level, 230 mIles from atry large stream, and is not more than fifteen feet widie, and varies from one to fIve feet deep.
