_ Waste in Farming. j Not less than twenty per cent. of the entire capital employed in farming in this country is wasted. Thisisa iow gstimat'e, for on many farms the amount of waste is more than double the sum named. Perhaps the scarcity and high price of labor in 2 few localities may be considered a reasonable excuse for this goss, but we hold that no man should undertake more than he can accomplish ,witlhout waste. The first and most prolific source of waste can readily be traced to large farms, as nine out of every ten of our farmers own or undertake to work twice as much land as they are able to, with any ;:)rt of credit or profit to themselves or ot?ers. : In spring, more corn, potatces and other crops requiring culture during the period of growth, are put in than can be attended to, and the results are that haying and barvesting of grain crowd upon the hoeing, and waste occurs on s!l Ezdes. Scarcity of labor is always put forward as an excuse for this waste, but the farmer was "well aware that he could not obtain the required amount long before his crops were put into the ground, and should bave known just how many men were required to take care of and ha#vest any certain number of acres of a particular crop. We are not disposed to excuisc a man for waste on the ecore of ignora#ce, especially in farming, because the. business is one well understood. il] 7 Contrary to the general idea, we belive that the curse of American pgriculture is cheap lands, producing a low standard of farming, and encouraging a/grasping disposition to possess broad tklacres, with a corresponding neglect of the same when once they are obtained. The firstethought of the farmer or kis sons- E, ‘how much land can I purchase? not; how much will my capital permit me to buy andimprove ? -In ninety-nine cases out of ¢very hundred ‘a man puts bis_entire capital into land, and then runs in debt for a few acres more, reserving nothing with which to make improvements or purchase stock. A merchant who would put kLis entire capi- - tal into a building, aud ledve himself no capital with which to commence trade, would not'deserve pity if he did fail in business; and yet this is jdst what a majority of our farmers havﬁ been and are’ still doing. The result of /such a system is & slavish life for a nun;})er of years in order to procure stock, implements, barn, and, finally, a comfortablf? house for the wife and tamily. - i Now, there is but one way to remedy this wide.spread evil,” and that is to own less land; make it produce better crops, and thereby prevent a waste.of time and labor ' A man should never put more than one half of his capital in land, no matter how much or how little he I'Pay have. We can offer no" better proof| of this wide“spread evil of owning more land than can be judiciously cultivated, than the average yield of our principal ifarm products. " The average yield of corn, for instance, in -gome of the Middle and S“i)uthhern States, is not above ten bushels to/the acre, and in Illinois seldom above [twenty; while those farmers who é)lant lonly on good, rich land, and attend to t;xe culture, in thtse same localities, obtain from fifty toone hundted bushels per acre. These results prove conclusively, that thousands of acres are annually planted with this ~grain, and the labor expended thereon ie ‘almost, if not entirely, lost. The same is true in regard to all kinds of grain-culti-vated in this countrv. Alman starts out in the spring to plant twenty acres of corn, when really he has not gufficient help to put ia ten, and the result/is a very small return-for the labor expended, and less corn than would have been obtained from ten acres, with seventy five per cent. of the capital expended thereon. Manure is wasted by being spread go thinly over a large surface of ground tl?,ac its benefit is - scarcely to be perceived, | while if a less area received the entire al#)ount, it would not only bring immediate and a large in- | crease in the crop grown, but be perma. nently enriched.. £ | We frequently hear the old complaint | .of unfavorable weather, | and that the wheat suffers for want of, or a superabundance of, moisture; which means simply that the soil has been hurriedly prepared for the reception of the seed, but neither worked ¢ decp, subsoiled,| under.drained, nor otherwise put in a proper condition to insure & good crop, in favorable or unfavorable seasons. Meadows and pastures fail from the same cause, and the climate comes in for all the blame, If land owners cculd be persuaded to sell one-half of their real estate, and expend the amount obtained on the other half, they might obtain greater profits' and more leisure hours. Money and labor are wasted in fearful amountsupon poor stock and cheap implements, as weld as upon poor lands and light crops of &mjn;‘ in fact,” we are a nation of spendth’giﬂs, although few are -willing to confess“it in|their own case, but can readily see that some neighbor is sailing in the boat we have described.—N. Y. Sun. {0 '

Worn-Out Soil. . : Our American farmers/talk a great deal about worn-out soils, just as though land would not remain fertile forever if as much plant-foocd was returned to it as taken out. In the agricultural districts of Europe a farmer is.expected to constantly increase the fertility of bis land instead of wearing it out. : ; Mr. Lewis; of England, made experiments with land owned in one family a thousand years. He sowed a piece contin. uously to wheat for twenty seven years, with an average crop of fifteen and five - eighths bushels per acre, A piece in barley nineteen- years, gave twenty bushels per acre; and a piece in grass fourteen years, gave 2,600 pounds a year. This soil, consequently, represented the condition of the soil, with the ordinary cultivation and rotation as practiced ; but gimilar land of the same farm, to which fourteen tons of manure had been applied, produced thirty-six bushels of wheat and thirty'six bushels of barley; and with two hundred of sulphate of ammonia and three hundred of phosg;mte, it produced forty-eight bushels of barley. This, again, shows the value of manure in England qnd the increased fertility of its soil thro’ the application of manure; and any farmer, knowing the cost of manure in his' locality, mpy easily estimate whether it will pay him to use it or not, bearing in mind always that it is gm,ch cheaper and easier to keep up the fertility of the soil thaa to bring it back when once it is im. poverished. fo o ;

When to Prune. The New England Farmer gives these suggestions on pruning : | There is less correct knowledge among cultivators of the babits and nature of the growth of trees than in any other department of farming. With regard to prun. _ing, there is one infallible guide, namely: - Never prune a tree when the saw you are using will keep bright. That proves that the pores of the wood are full of sap. If they are then cut the sap will rua out. When shall we prune? When the sap is thick and will gum up the saw, so that it will need washing once or twice in two or three hours. The thin sap has then ascended to swell the buds, and expand the blossoms and leaves, and having per: formed its duty there, what portion re. mains—but in a thickened form—returns down ufider the outside bark, and increas es its diameter. The sap vessels are now comparatively empty, and the tree can be pruned, if judiciously done, without much injury, A S e Shortening in trees is another matter. That ml{'be done in most trees at any time without much hatm, as none of the large vunﬁ:? cut, and the leaves below the place cut would be likely to absorb the Knnim sap. The dewnward motion of the sap takes plac Q: bok: the middle | m vely empty. After the leaves have allen in aytunm they are in a similar condition, G, | i

SLAVERY RE-ESTABLISHED. - Former Russian Subjécts Enslaved under Republican Administiration, ' On the Aleutian Islands the heartless monopoly of Hutchinson, Kohl & Co., has worked out its mission of exterminating all commerce, trade, and speculation, other than that in which the Alaska Commercial Company is specially interested. On St. Paul and St. George Islands the natives are in a state of slavery, infinitely worse than the slavery of Cuba or the servitude of the coolies. Neither of the latter are recognized as citizens by any goyernment on the earth, and, therefore, cannot demand the protection of any government. They have simply rights as human beings, just as beasts of burden haye rights.” But the Aleuts on the islands of St. Paul and St.Georgeare American citizens, under the treaty of purchase.” They can redd and write ; are Christians in the true gense of the word; have a patriarchal gystem ot government, and are highly civilized. Among them are men of talent—scholars, governors, legislators, land professional men. Yet they are sldves, and for twenty years are bound to serve their masters, Hutchinson, Kohl & Cog. A more damnable piece of leégislation than this lease of- the fur:seal islands to the Alaska Commercial Compaby never disgraced any country. Where is ouf proud boast that slavery has been abolished in the United States? By what right, in equity, law, and morals, hasthe Congress of the United Statss legislated away the liberty of the Alents? Why not legislate away the rights of the people of San Franeisco to Hutchinson, Ksbl & Co.? If Congress has the right tp sell the labor of the Aleuts for twent;) years to the Alaska Commercial Conpa?y, it has the same right to sell the labor of an equal number of workingmen ot San Francisco. The fact that Alaska is a Tertitory and California a State does not, alter_the rights of citizens in either cace. Under the Constitution, the law, and in t?l:f spirit of justice, an Alaskan 1s as favored as a Cal ifornian. Suppose that nearly a thousand Californians, by Congressional jact, were deeded over to Hutchinson, Kohl & Co. for twenty years, would not the civilized world stand aghsst at the monbtrosity of the act? Have we not shown that the. Aleuts are equally citizens of the United States? Have we not shown that the Al euts are the victims of such a monstrosity as we speak of? ' ‘ Will not this selfishness and shortsight: edness which the American people exhibit toward the Aleuts, simply because they are not at our doors, one day prove to be a death.blow to our republican institu - tions? If we have not the heart, brain and universal sympathy that gbes out for the welfare and happiness of every citizen in the republic, however exalted or humble, we do not see the destiny of the future.” If we close our eyes tothe suﬂ'éring,grief, and sorrows ot the poor Aleuts, how can we prate about humanitarianism? In this, and other cities, there are societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals. Let us have one tor the prevention of cruelty to the unfortunate Aleuts.— Alaska Herald, April 1. o

; Then and Now. - ’ The Grant and Wilson newspapers seem to have a great respect fcr Mr. Greeley’s opinion, or rather for what they are pleas ed to put forward as his opinion. In fact, our L. L. D, President seems to be running mainly upon his certificates of good character (mostly forgeries) signed by the liberal republican candidate: For instance: : “Grant and his policy deserve the very highest credit. HorACE GREELEY.” “QGeneral Grant has hever been beaten, and he never will., ( “HORACE GREELEY.” ~ Now, it is evident that if Mr. Greeley ever did give the Doctor these certificates of character they must have bcen obtained under false pretenses. Servants frequent ly manage to get what they call “charac: ters.” - Somebody certifies that the bearer, who then might have been fifteen, is sober and industrious ; and upon: this she manages to get situations long after she is forty five, inebriate, and lazy. If Mr. Greeley ever did give the office holder’s candidate ‘“a character,” the public by this time knows that it has been withdrawn and rescinded. It Mr. Greeley mistook his man;so did thousands of oth. ers who have publicly owned their error, — New York Tribune.

~ Tnosk fellows in Indiana who are now working to aid the Louisville movement, to put a “straight-out” democratic ticket. (so called) in the field, are not satisfied with such Democrats as Hendricks, Mc: Donald, Kerr, Voorhees, Mason, Niblack, Holman, Col. Thomas Dowling, James S, Williams, of Knox, and hundreds of others, but decldre their intention of putting another State ticket in nomination in this State. :

If they are opposed to and retuse to support Hendricks, Kerr, Holman, Stoll, Ryan, Eddy, and Williams, do they suppose that those who do heartily and cheerfully support them, will ever follow in the lead of bolters and dead beats. The people know that it is Grant’s benchmen that are the prime movers in the Louisville meeting, and that Radicals are furnishing all the money, and not only paying all the expenses connected therewith, but they are franking their documents and letters all over the country free. And they know, also, that most, if not all the manipalators of that humbug are paid by the Grantites to defeat Greeley and elect Grant. 8 .

It is not Democracy that they are so much troubled about as it is the success of Grant. These self-constituted delegates will themselves vote for Grant, and every Democrat who votes their ticket, if they find anybody corrupt enough to sell his soul to Grant, will be giving half a vote for Grant. : : There are not five Democrats in Jackson county who will not vote straight out: for Hendricks, the entire State ticket, and for Greeley.—Seymour Sun. ; ¢

Tue Grant press claims that the debt has been reduced, since March 1, 1869;by $387,000,000. The offical report of Wmn. A. Richardson, Acting Secretary of the Treasury, declares that the total reduction, under Grant, to Aug. 1, 1872, in¢luding the cash in the Treasury, is $337,404,603.57. By the same official report, the cash in the Treasury, on Aug. 1, 1872, was $85,858,044,39. The actual reduction, then, in three years and five months of Grant’s Admnistration, is by the latest official report, only $252,046,559.18 This is an average monthly reduction of only $6,147,477. Secretary McCulloch’s official report, submitted December, 1868, proves that the averdge monthly reduction under Johnson was $10,984,201. The excess of monthly reduction during Johnson above monthly reduction under Grant is, then, by official reports, $4,788,724. :

GENERAL GRANT says he had no wish to be renominated for the Presidency. Oh, yes, we remember well how he had to be importuned. Ben Butler cocked his noble eye and said, “Won't you?” And still he wonted. Then Morton, Colfax, Blaine and Conkling came, tears on their cheeks, and cried: “Most ncble, grave and rev erend senior— take it please!” Then fail. ed his firm resolve. His country cailed, he dared not more refuse. Then burst his mighty heart, and, muffling up his face, he fell! Great Seizer fell, and even at the fet of Pompey (and Dinah) cried, “I can hold out no more!”—New Albany (Ind.) Ledger, ‘

Now Boutwell and the balance of the ‘Grantite drummers have been despatched to Maine, and they are making a thorough canvass of the State for a partisan candi~ date for the Presidency, while they aro paid by the people for their seryices at Washington. ; :T e ) I ApyERTISED my productions and made money.—XNicholas Longworth, .

i ~ From the Laporte Argus. , LETTER FROM MONTANA. #Hot'Springs-=A Woman’s Influence== Politles--Rail Roads--Indians, &c. | Wary SpriNGs, DEEr LopGge VALLEY, ‘ Montans, August 18, 1872. } 1 Eprtor Araus:—Having been an active participant in a very lively politiéal contest which ended on the sth inst., and coming out on the losing side, I felt the necesity of a little quiet rest and came here with a party of friends a few days ago for, that purpose. : . Our party consists of a Reverend gentleman, a resident of Helena, a representative of a wholesale house of San Francisco, a merchant of this Territory on the sick list, andlast and least, Burt, a worthless fellow without occupation or visible means of an honest livelihood. S

These springs are becoming a-great resort for pleasure seekers and invalids, ‘and those here for their health claim to Have derived great benefit from the baths. The waters are strongly impregnated with iron, sulphur and magnesia. There are twenty springs within an area of twenty rods square. The water from_ some of them is boiling hot, while from others it is cool enough to drink. Just in the rear of the hotel stands a mound 75 feet in height and 400 feet iu- circumference, composed of porous rock formed by deposits from the springs. From the top of this mound flows enough hot water to supply all the laundries in the city of Chicogo. We found everything here for our accommodation.— A good hotel well furnished; public and private baths, excellent trout fishing near by, also chickens, ducks and other small game for the amusement of those who can shoot.” -Our host is a Frenchman, a very kind and obliging fellow, and what is more important still he has a pretty daughter (did you ever know a No. 1 and successful landlord who could not boast of at lgast one good looking daughteér?) and sheis a regular stunner. My three combanions fell in love with her at first sight, consequently thiey have been on their good behavior ever since their arrival here. -

Our representative from San, Francisco, contrary to his usual custom, hasn’t tasted anything stronger than water for three whole days. The Reverend gentleman hag been dividing his leisure time between his next Sunday’s sermon &nd his toilet. His general deportment and smoothness of speech would do credit to a candidate for ‘Congress. Qurmercantile friend (notwithstanding bad ‘health generally incites the patient to profanity, irritability and such like), has been as meek and child-like as a circuit rider and as happy and good natured ag a father of twin babies or a woman with a $75 bonnet. So much for the influuence of a pretty woman over three'confounded old fools. : : ‘ As T said at the commencement of this letter, our August election was a very lively affair. The Democratic candidate who run on the: Greeley platform was elected by a small majority but as we had no voice in the Presidential election national politics did not influence the result. Strong Greeley men, leaders of the Republican party,canvassed the Territory for the Radical candidate, and on the other hand, many Democrats who could not swallow Greeley, voted for the candidate who run on the Cincinnati platform; 8o you see things wefte slightly mixed. :

Work on the North Pacific Railroad is progressing slowly. The track will be laid to the Missouri River in October. A party of surveyors for the company left here a month ago for the Yellow Stone Valley with an escort of 800 cavalry. They have gone prepared to to defend themselves against the hostile Sioux should they at-tempt-to oppose their passage 'through the Indian country, but I don’t anticipate the company will meet with any trouble from that source. Last winter Congress appropriated over half a million dollars for these Teton Sioux. The appropiation was made on condition that they remain at peace, and they seem perfectly willing to comply with the conditions for the sake of the benefits to accrue to them from#the very liberal appropriation. Gen. Cowan, of the Inferior Department, and Mr. Simmons, who has represented the Government for the past year with this tribe, are now on their way to Washington. They have with them sevgrsl war chiefs of the’ tribe; and it is to be hoped this visit may result in some understanding that will bring about a lasting peace with these troublesome neighbors. Truly yours, ‘ 'BURT.

Five men assembled at Kendallville last week to select delegates to the Louisville Convention. They selectefl two of their numder, W. 8. Sprott, and Jas. McConrel, as regular delegates, and made the other three contingents. Now,; .if .there ever was a more ridiculous farce than this we cannot imagine what it was. We are personally acquainted with these ¢‘delegates,” and know that they represent no body but themselves. The first is a souerl/d dispeptic in his second childhood, and the second is a poor old dotard of no character at home or influence any where. He is as destitute of either as the lowest bummer in Laporte coxinty, ‘and in short, is generally known as an old ‘‘dead-beat.”” - This is the character of most of the men who ““won’t be sold out.” They are petted and flattered by the Grantites until they fancy they are men of iufluence, but a greater mistake never was made.— Laporte Argus.

The Winamac Republican says it remembers when we spoke of Jason B. Brown in ‘“‘glowing terms.” We did used to send gome red hot shotdnto his camp when he pretended to be a Democrat, for we knew at that ‘time that he was a scoundrel and denounced him as freely as we now do.— QOur files will show the truth of this statement.

It is pretty definitely ascertained that the Geneva arbitrators have awarded the United States $11,000,000 damage for the acts of the rebel cruisers. We asked for $17,763,910 for the ships and $7,080,478 for the expenditures, a total of $24,854,388, and we get $1,427,194 less’ than onehalf of that sum. b
