I UnSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1885, —_— FARMS NO EYE HAS SEEN, Bastern Oyster-Beds and the Methods of Planting and Harvesting tha Crops, New York Sun, Oystors are raised by cultivation, jast as fruits and vegetables are. They are found in all sess, in from four to six fathoms of water,and never at a great distance from the shore. They are most abundant in the quiet waters of gulfs and bays found st the mouths of large rivers, Tho principls sources of supply In the United States are the Chesspeako bay, New Jeraey coast and Long Island sound. Formerly the northern beds were almost wholly kept by re-stocking with seed oysters from Chesapeake bay and the Hudson river, but of late the oyster reapers have secured the seed, or spat, as the fishermen call it, during tho spawning season, and new grounds have been utll- {zed until the ares of the oyster beds can be measured by townships and fs con- stantly extending. Although there is no such thing as buy- ing the buds of any of the public waters, et oyster grounds are, in & manner, fiougm and sold in this way: A man or a company will clear up a new place and begin raising oysters, If these men wish to go out of the business they sell thelr squatter’s right to their bed. =~ The right is recognized in the business, and such a sale holds good by common con- sent, The spat gathered in the spawn- ing season is scattered over the bed from which oysters have beon gathered, or on newly prepared ground, as the case may be. Here it lies from one year to five or slx years. Rockaways lie about one year and sounds from three to five years. The incresse is from three to six baskets or every one of spat. Tho chances as a rule are in favor of a good crop, but the oystermen have many things to contend with, 8o it sometimes happens that when they go to gather the oysters they find either dead ones or none at all. The oyster has Its natural enemics, such as the drumfish and starfish, which destroy a great many, and in the socond place the ground sometimes proves unsatis- factory. Sometimes a heavy weight ot grass grows fast to thom, and, pressing them aown into the mud, smothers them, or when they are on sandy soil a storm will oscastonally cover them entirely with sand, However, with the constantly improved merhods of cultlvation, means are being continually devised for the bet- ter protecticn of the oyster. Two-thirds of the oyaters now brought into the New York market during the summer and autumn come from the lower bay, and aro called sounds. The re- mainder may be said to come from Rock- away, Blue point, and the East river. The winter trade depends more or less on thesupply from Chesapeake bay,although largs quantities taken in the New York waters aro atored for winter use. Down on West street, a few blocks north of Canal street, a littlo fleet of is permitted, the result will be trouble, even {0 bloodshed. I am in a position to view this matter impartially, being neither n cattloman nor a granger. On the broad principle should rale the disposal of public lands, it is to ba hoped that an immense tract of rich land, which would give 100 acres apiece to 30,000 industrious settlers, may not be tied up in the hands of a fow. The trae plan—that which is fair,to the Indian and the settler, snd to the citi- zens of Montana—ia the cesslon to the government of such portion of the reser vation as the Crows do not need, and its sale by the government, in properly lim- ited quantities for their benefit. Let us keep all that remains to us of the land out of the hands of monopolists, or we shall have inour young territories the curse of absentee landlordism, and in anothor century three-fourths of their fertile surface will belong to foreign bul lion lords. and the free young regions of the far west will be crushed Into the Irclands of the future. Meanwhile, it is said that the agents of the syndics » working hard among the Indians to obtain consent and s'gnatures, and with considerable success, The peo- ple here are very much sfraid that the pressure of certain political exigencies will cause the success of the syndicate’s pro- ject. But until it is an accomplished f and some of them tor, they are going to fight it, as they “for all they are werth,” Tho offort on the part of a very small party, calling themselves cattlemen, to run ot the Cheyennes on the Tongue river and the Rosebud, has died out, and quiet is restored. The Cheyennes are hauling logs to build a new storehouse on the Rosebud to replace the house that was maliciously burned by a supposed sympathizer with Tollifer, the Cowboy who wantonly shot at and wounded Black Wolf lst spring. Two Horns is_ now at the Rosebud station on the Northern Pacific with a train of sixteen teams haul- ing the supplies to the agency. The team: all owned by Indians of Two Hor and driven by Indian teamsters. e ta subsist their mals on the return trip was teleg: for from here yesterday, and a quantity of oats shipped them by rail. White Bull, who leads the Tongue river settlement, is out with some of his following hunting stray byffalo bulls on the Upper Powder. The cowboy Tollifer. who attacked Black Wolf, has not been brought back. A deputy sheriff, at considerable ex- pense to the long-suffering tax-payers of Custer county, went as far as old Mexico and succeeded in getting Tollifer on the Amecrican side of the Rio Grande, and temporarily securing his person, but the funds which were sufficient for the search for the fugitive were not enough for his detention and return. The needful ein- ews were telegraphed for, but the Caster county authorities could not or would not respond financially, and the deputy 5 eheriff turned his prisoner loose. Thus Custer county has a pretty big bill to pay for nothing. In the mean time one of oyster boats, packed together like sardines in a box, may be seen any day delivering their cargoes. How one ever gets out is a profound mystery. The boatmen thom- selves say it often takes half a day to get one clear of the rest. They are small, single-masted, and each carriesa jib. They vary in length between thirty teet and rorty feet long. They cost between $5600 and $2,000 aplece, according to their size and the manner in which they are fitted up. There are also a great many steam tugs engagedin the business. Each boat usually carries five men, The ‘wholesal» dealers, who have thelr hotses ong the dock, own or have in most of these boats. dealer wiil often own a nuuber of sall- boats, or an interest in several, and per- haps a number of tugs as well. There are, however, many boats that are owned by the men who sail them. The boats usually stay out a week or six days Each is provided with an oyster tongs and dredge. At first, while the oysters ase thick the men use the tongs. Afterward they finish up by raking over the g-ound with 1he dredge. The dredge is an icon rake in two sections, It hasa bag hanging from the back of it, made of ivon links. This is always held open by aniron frame, Tho oyste's, as they are raked up by the tecth of the dredge, are shoved back into the bag until it is filled, and then it is 5 and its contents are emptied on board, 1t is cither dragged by the sailboat with spread canvas or worked by steam, When a boa!, has a load of oysters, which is from 1,000 to 6,000, according to the sizo of the ¢ aft, it canies the oysters to a wate -logged This is dong in order that the oysters may drink, and thus gain a fine, plump appearance for market, and also supply themselves with a circulating fluid to stand long transportation, They arc usually put in the crib at ebb-tide, as it is only then that oysters open. After this other boats deliver them to the whole- sale dealers, Oysters are classified accord- ing to theic s tras, box, cullins, and cullentines. Some of the dealers open the oysters they handle, while others simply deal in them in the shell. The opoancrs get $1 per 1,000 for opening the oyste s, and one man ean open from 3,000 to 6,000 a day. — A GRAB FOR A KINGDOM, A fyndicate of Uapitalists After Land That Will Support Thirty Thousand Farmers, There is much excitement throughout this territory, writes a Miles City, Mon- tana, Sun, over the project of a syndicate of Colorado capitalists to lesse from the Crow Tndians the greater portion of thei ervation. Frotests nst the are in prepatation everywhere, It is pro- posed that g protest shall go from every postoftice in Montana. ‘The grand jury of Yellowstone county, in the name of the citizens, has entered a protest against the lease. A citizens' commi tee itly for- warded to Senator Dawes, ¢ he commission to treat with the Crow Indians for the cession of a portion of the reservation, their protest against the lease of any poction of the resecvation to the syndicate, The opposition to this scheme has uni- ted 1o hrontlnl interests hitherto the wos . antagonistic—the cattlemen and the aciual settlers, the cow-boys and the grangers, The former do not want to sec the finest grazing lands In the verri- tory grabbed by outsiders. The latter eay that this will practically close to set: tlement and cultivation by the industrier immigrant, for a century at the least, the fineet farming lands in the territory. 1t will ro'ard the growth and advance. anent of Montans, keep uninhabited s large tract of valuable land, and to & very great extent, set back the interests of the mercantile class, the traders, and the farmers of Montana. 1t is contend 'ed also that no benefits worth consider iog will accrue to the Crows from such & lesss, should it be effocted. Offsots rent will be found in olaims for cattle slaughtered by the Indians. There ar also those who predict that, if this less the Cheyennes who pleaded gullty to burning the ranch where Tolifer made his uprovoked attack on Black Wolf has died in the territorial prison at Hele- na of pulmonary disease. Taking Into consideration the signal failare of the officers of justice of Custer county to bring Tollifer, the origin of the whole trouble, to trisl, it would bea graclous act, 1f not an ect of justice, on the part of the present acting goveraor or on that of the new governor when he assumes his office, t> pardon the three surviviog Cheyennes, Lt would have a very go.d effect on the Indiane, and would restore in some degree their faith, s0 widely shaken, in the white man’s law. It was hoped that the Jats governor would have done this act of clemency. The only attacks to which the Indlans of this portion of the territory are now subject are from war parties—or, rather, parties of horse-thieves of thelr own race. Both Cheyennes and Crows are suffering from the thieving raids of the Plegans. The last mentioned Indian., who were in a starving condition at the beglnning of the present vear, are now said to have plenty to eat and any number of horses and ponles—stolen principally from the Crows, bat some from white settlers. The Piegans regularly rald the Crows. They have taken, year after year, thous- ands of horees and ponies from them. The Crow Tndian has been so terribly | thrashed by the Sioux, and so utterly crushed, morally, that he considers an ex- aggerated discretion the better part of valor. Indeed, the Crows no longer know what valor is. The Sioux have knocked all the fight out of them. As far as they are concerned, the Plegans have a pretty sure thing and a safe one, It s different, however, with the Cheyennes, to whom the Plegans have recently, onone or two oceasions, rcely with the success and not with the safety of their operatlons against the Crows. A party of Piegans recently ran off some stock belonging to the Rosebud Choyennes. Two Horns quickly followed espondent of the New York | By, .5~ | Obstinate Ulcers them, attacked them, killed two of them, and recaptured the stolen stock.

The only remedy for overproduction is an equitable distribation, not an equal dis tribution, Permanent prosperity is pos- sible only when wealth producers receive approximately what they produce, what- ever b their services. The errors of ouf present systems are coming into bolder relief, and the truths of the higher politi- cal economy are finding gradual recogni- tlon. A Pennsylvania rail mill manager has invented an iren table by which the labor of forty men at the rollscan be dispensed with. A blast-furnace manager has in- vented a holst which dispenses with the lahor of six men, If this keeps on fur- nace and mill labor will become a drug, Already the applicances for saving labor at mills and furnaces are surprising, and there seems to be as much field as ever for the play ef Inventive talent agalnst manuel labor.

About a quar- ter ofa mile from it there was a huge plantation drainage ocanal, such as are commou in the Loulsiana loslands. Here Gen. Packingham formed his first attacking column. His formatlon was a column in mass of about fifty files front. This was formed under the fire of the fow reqular artillerists I had in a little redoubt 1n Coffee’s front, and that of some cannon taken from a man-of-war, placed in a battery on the river and served by eallors. Coffee, seeing the direction of the attack, which was in- tended to turn his flank, dashed forward and said to his men: *‘Hold your fire until you can soe their belt-buckles.” The riflemen were formed in two ranks behind the works mentioned, and when the first rank fired the second was loaded and ready. There were about elghteen hundred men bohind thia frall cover, all of whom were dead shots, and each” had 100 bullets in his pouch and the neces- sary powder in his horn. The British troops came up to within 100 yards of work without firing a mueket. It wasa beautiful sight to see. ''hey marched as steadily shoulder to shoulder as though they wore on review. At 100 yards’ dis- tance the order was glven them to charge. with n cheer and at doable quick they came forward. They were about eixty yards distant when a long blazing flash ran all along our line. It was a8 pretty volley-firing as I ever hesrd or saw. «{The smoke hung so heavy that for the moment I conld not make out just what hadghappened,’ said Gen. Jackion. ‘In anotuer instant there was another sharp, ringing volley that proved that it came from the riflemen.

Just as he came within range of mo riflemen I saw him reel and topple out of his saddle, mortally wounded.

Alley blushed like a schoolgirl with her first lover at the idea, and swore that he was not worth more than hali of that. -At this Sharon would snicker and snort in the most contemptuous disbelief in Alley’s modesty.

Some young girls have revived the fashicn of light hair nste, with large meshes, in which the halr falls loose and as low down es the middle of the back. This style shows the hair to great advantage, and will probably meet with great approval. From 16 to 17 years of age the hair is worn high and twiated on the top of the head.
