A, We must persist in saying there is

B, But We won't be believed for we
told the people to vote against the soloers;
because negroes and minors that were SOL

A Productive Farm.

MIR. A. @. Fulton, residing near Davenport,
Iowa, writes to the Prairie Farmer, that his
gross receipts from 50 acres of land last year
amounted to $IO,1II. The net profit was
81 ,9O5, after deducting So per acre for inter
est or rent of laDd-besides cost Of seed, labor,
and all other expenses. This gives the ex-
traordinary sum of little over 1927 per
acre. The farm is on first quality prairie
land broken up in July, 1862, at cost of S2,-
so per acre. A large portion Of it was re-
plowed before seeding. Twenty acres of it
were put in wheat and corn, the balance in
onions, potatoes, and sorghum. The larger
portion was taken for onions, the seed being
put in with hand drill. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to say that the land was thoroughly
worked. There were also excellent facilities
for marketing. Portions Of the crops were
sold at Davenport, and the balance sent by
railroad to Chicago. With all these advan-
tages, the story looks large-not because of
its impossibility, but from the fact that not
many farmers manage to bring out the full ca
pabilities of their land. We do not quote this
as an example that may be generally initiated,
but it shows occasionally fortunes are made in
other pursuits probably ohener, while the
chances of failure of securing a. competency
are greatly in favor of farming pursuits

GET ENOUGH SLEEP.

We have often heard young men
remark that four or five hours sleep
was all they wanted, and the human
system required. The habit of go.
ing without sufficient sleep is very
injurious. Thousands, no doubt,
permanently injure their health in
this way. We live in a fast age,
when every body seems to be try
ing to pervert the order of nature.
If folks wiIl5persist in turning night
into day, it is not to be wondered
at that few last out the allotted term
of life. No matter what be mans
occupation-physical or mental, or,
like Othello's, ''gone," and living in
idleness-the constitution cannot
last, depend upon it, without sufi-
cheney of regular and refreshing
sleep. John Hunter, the great sur
geon, died suddenly of spasmodic
affection of the heart, a disease gen.
orally encouraged by want of sleep.
In volume just published by a
medical man, there is one great les
son that hard students and literary
men may learn, and that is, that
Hunter probably killed himself by
taking too little sleep. Four hours
rest at night, and one after dinner,
cannot be deemed sufficient to re-
cruit the exhausted powers of the
body and mind. Certainly not; and
the consequence was that Hunter
died early. Ifmen will insist on
cheating sleep, her "twin sister,
death," will avenge the insult.

American Growth and Resources.

The report recently made to the state de-
partment by Samuel B. RlggIes, the Ameri-
can delegate to the international statistical
congress, which was held at Berlin in Septem-
Der last, gives interesting facts in regard to
the comparative growth of our country and its
increased resources. While the population of
France has increased 81 per cent. in the last
sixty years, and that of England III per cent.
the increase in America has been 593- per cent
During the last decade merely the newer wes-
tern states have received an accession of over
three million and half of inhabitants, fully
equal to the whole Silesian population for
which Frederick the Great battled seven years,
and far in excess Of the population of Scot
land, for the possession of which England
strove so long. And this vast accession was
gained from the older states and from Europe
and was occasioned by the increased develop
ment of agricultural and mineral resources.
During this same decade the assessed value of
the property of these states was increased from
$I,l16, 100000 $3,926,0OO,0OO. Five years
increase of wealth at such rates would pur-
chase every commercial vessel in Christendom.
The increased capacity Of these states for
the production Of vegetable and animal food
mas Iully kept pace Win Lne lboreaSS III Popu-
lation. The improved land of this group of
states has increased from 26,68O.36l acres in
1850 to 81, $685. in 1860, and the acres
still unimproved are 23o, ,3O8, ,293. The amount
of land that has been thus taken from the
prairie and reduced to cultivated farms is
equal to seventh-eighths of England's 28,OOO,-
600 of arabic acres, and there are eight times
28,OOO,OOO acres thai are only waiting strong
and willing arms to make them food producing
and men supporting. When this is done, the
nine millions who inhabit these states today
may be multiplied many times and still there
will be room. The increase Of cereals during
the period under review was 09.950,205 bush
els, while the swine increased from 8,536l82
to II ,O39, 1852, AMI the cattle from 4,373,7l3
to 1904 $40. Less than one hundred hours
suffice to transfer the cotents of western gran
aries to eastern warehouses, and take cattle
from the Mississippi prairies and place them
in slaughter houses upon the Atlantic. A fam
inc in America, or even in any part of the
world, will be impossible, for the western
states are abundantly capable of feeding all
the nation. No country can show such rapid
and permanent growth as ours; and none can
i've hopes for the future SO abundant and
sure.-SpringfeZd Mass Republican.

Sweet C,rn for HOGS,

The editor of the Pontiac (Michingan)
Jacksonian says " During our visit at the
East we were asked 10 look at some fatteu-
ing hogs 10 the sty of DIR. Caleb Plaistridge
of Lebanon, New Hampshire. They were
very fine ones, but not as good, we are told,
as the DR.. generally raises. His system is
this: For twenty years past he has planted
one-lourth of an acre in sweet.eorn, and killed
three hogs. The hogs have good, large and
airy sty, with feeding troughs so arranged
that they cannot interfere with each other at
feeding time, and free access to a large, dry
yard, through which runs spring of clear
water. When his sweet-corn is large enough
to roast he commences feeding it, stalk aud
all, in the yard, giving them all the swill they
will eat. This be continues until they refuse
to eat the stalks, after which the balance Of
the corn is fed in the ear, and the Iattening
process finished with corn NEAL During the
whole twenty years he has failed but twice Of
killing hogs of over five hundred pounds
weight each, aud he gives credit to most Of
the weight to the sweet-corn. He says, pro-
perly fed, it adds at least two hundred pounds
to each Of his hogs. Until the frost kills it,
they will eat the sWeet-corn, stalks and ALL"

NATIONAL CURRENCY ACT.-The principal
amendments proposed to the national currency
act by the comptroller of the currency are as
follows
National BaHks are to be required to re-
deem their circulating notes in the city Of New
York at small discount A uniform rate Of
interest (sevsn per cent? is to be established
throughout the United States for national
banks. .... -.
The lawful money reserve that is to be kept
on hand is to be reduced from 25 to Is per
cent. for country banks, and from 25 to 20 per
cent. for city banks. Provision is also made
for the closing of banks whenever the owners
of two-thirds Of the capital stock shall deem
it expedent. Banks cannot be organized
with a less capitol than 100000 in the cOun-
try, and 100000 in cities.
1t will be made imperative that on amount
of bonds equal to one-third of the capital
stock paid up shall be kept on deposit with
the Treasurer Of the United States, whether
banks take circulation for them or not.

A late London letter to the New York

You have heard much and will hear more

10000 a year. Many of the large towns are
growing rapidly; but the agricultural popula-
ton is falling of. In ten years the number
of farmers and graziers have diminished TWEEN

There are 1000 fewer proprietors than there
were ten years ago. All the land now in En-

BEGINNING TO SEE IT.-Even the Boston
Courier one the most extreme of the parti-
san Democratic papers, goes so far as to con-
cede that the destruction of slavery by the
war is all right 1t says:
sThe South rushed to arms especially to
protect the institution of slavery, an institu-
tion which comparatively few Northern men
approve. The friends Of State rights in the
North, as body, never defended slavery upon
its merits, but, bravely bearing the opprobri-
um of doing so which was inevitably thrust
upon them by their political antagonists, they
faithfully defended those constitutional rights
which gave to slavery its local security. But
when shareholders go to war, and especially
when they inaugurate rebellion, they must ex-
pect their slaves to take the chances and share
the fate which the war may bring. To this
doctrine every sensible and practical man must
assent. II the war is carried en- until every
negro is set at large in this way, the owners
must bear the consequences of their own acts.
If, after the war, they choose to undertake the
recovery of their fugitive property, the laws
are open to them"
