ENSILAGE.

About six months ago (says the "Clutha Leader") Mr W. Morton, Underwood, Puerua, built a silo 24ft long by 10ft deep, and filled it with a mixture of oats, rough grass, thistles, gorae, etc. He has How opened tbe silo, and finds the experi ment has proved successful. 'Except a few inches at the bottom, and one of the sides, the material has been well preserved, and cattle and pigs are extremely fond of its Horses and sheep do not eeem so much to relish it. In one part, where a lot of sow thistles had been placed to gether, the fodder has a rotten appearance, but still is eagerly devoured hy the cattle It would seem as if thistles weie too Watery for being converted into ensilage, but where the material was good— such as oata — tbe experiment has proved en tirely successful Mr Morton intends to repeat tbe experiment next season, and also to try the above ground system, which is simply a stack weighted. It teems it matters little whether the silo is tinder or above ground, so long as it is well weighted and kept from injury by heavy rains.

FRENCH MINES.

All mines m France are held to be State property, although they are m no CHe worked by the Government. The syjtem m force is as follows : Any in dlTidaal, or corporation, desirous of en gaging m mining operations, must first obtain from the proprietor of the land permisti?n to uudertake '•' travaux de echerche," exploring operatic ns at the cost and rlfk of the applicant. If the remits obtained by these preliminary teats are satisfactory, a formal applica tion for a final concession is made to the Minister of Public Works. After an loquett conducted by the olvil authori ties, and npon favorable advioe reported by the government engineer, tbis ' con cession ' is granted by the Minister of Public Works, and giveß a perpetual tenure to the applicant, who can then work, sell, or transfer the mines, which •re thenceforth his property. Once m poeseseion of his 'concseeion ' tbe grantee haß entire command of the prod oca of the mines and is at liberty to conduct works as best adapted to his means or judgment, under the control of tbe government and the surveillance of a •tate engineer whoße business it is to ob serve the progress of the works and sac that nothing is done contrary to tbe law, to the safety of the people employed m the mines, or to the lawful tights of the owners of other mines or the proprietors of the soil As Above stated, the tenure is perpetual, and subject to no rent or royalty except ■ fixed annual fee of 10 centimes per hectare (a little less than 1 cent per acre) for the area included m the concession, •nd a royalty tax of five per cent, on the net profits. These, with an additional tax of 10 per cent, cf the aggregate •mount of the above fee and royalty, are paid to the French revenue, The owners of the soil are entitled to nothiDg ex~ eepting the rent of euch parts of the sur face bs are required for the proper workirjg of qhe mines, the nominal fee of 10 cen times per hectare if they see fit to claim ft, and compensation for any dama, c oc casioned on the suttace, which is paid at double its actual value.' — American Oon ■ular Report.

A SMALL FORTUNE

On 23rd alt. an extraordinary incident In the recent mining history of Victoria occurred at Ballarat when an Immense nugget weighing about 511b3 of pure gold, was unearthed m the famoua Midas mine at Snlky Gully. This mine !b on the property of Sir William Clarke, known as Dowling Forest, and on several occasions lately nnggets, varying m size, though small, have been obtained. This discovery, however, eolipeeß anything of the kind that has been known for many years m Victoria. The news of it created considerable excitement m the city. The first public Intimation was obtained m a rather curious manner. A man was observed by the large crowd of share holderewhocongrepated at the Comer to be walking down Start etreot carrying a nek containing what to all appearance was like a small pig, but his strange burden was soon found to be the nugget, tnd he was followed by an excited and questioning crowd across Lydiard Btreet down to the corner to Meears Stoddart »nd Blnney's office, where ho .displayed the contents of his bag. It was im mediately placed on exhibition m Messrs Stoddart and Blnney's office. The pugget Is flit, and has something of the contour of • colossal hand held open, with the thumb »nd finger j close together. Its greatest length is 12£1n., and breadth B£in., and it varies m thickness up to 2£in. It ie apparently pure gold, and weighs 617ez, It was found 120 ft from the suiface, and at a spot about 60ft from where the Ladj Braasey nugget was recently fcund. II ii estimated to contain 501 b pure gold, worth £51 per lb, and the find represent! •n addition to the Compary'B revenue oi ibout £2600. — " Argus " correspondent.
