Few who have given the subject any atten.
ton will think we have made too large an esti.
mute in placing Sl03, zoo, 900 of Gold in tho
bands Of private bankers. hoarders, and in cir.
culaiion in California and other Gold Regions
where Greenbacks are not current. For the
commerce and circulation of California and the
Pacific side 81, 900, 900 is moderate estimate
There will be left, then $50, 100000 of Gold and
Silver distributed among the 24,000, coo of
people in the other Loyal States-just 80 so to
each person.
A very suggestive paragraph in our money
article OF late issue told that there was
"a rush at the gold.brokcrs to sell small parcels,
by persons who have evidently been boarding."
II Indicates the coming effect upon hoarders Of
q steady decline in Gold.
There is another class OF hoarders whose op-
erhtions cannot be so easily traced, but who
will surely be reached by the decline. They are
those weak brothers who, distrusting the success
of our institutions, have placed their money
swelling our export OF Gold
since the war began. This hoard has been va
rously estimated at from $50, OO0, 900 to Sl2j,
100000. II IL, OF course, practically equal to a

innate that rs hare about hiry-threemillions more

There are good reasons for believing that this
is an under. estimate--for the immigration OF
the past four years has not only much increased,
but has been Of moro thrifty class Immi-
grants have always brought large amounts Of
specR with them; this amount has been Sari-
ously estimated at from s., OOO 900 to 10000

our currency has been Auctuating, the tendency
would be with immigrants to bring their little
store OF cash in the shape of Gold which their
friends here would advise them by letter was
sure to command premium. ..- rr.

A cnEAp AND coon SMOKE HOUSE

n III &<<AE AHNB NOVO SAAOAAG AAOApA%-
A Western New York farmer publishes his
plan Of a small, cheap and good smoke house
which, as it may contain some practical hints
for our own readers, we append it:
'sNo farmer should be without good smoke
house, and such one as will be fre-proof
and tolerably secure from thieves. Fifty hams
can be smoked at one time in smoke house
seven by eight feet square. Mine is six by
seven, and is large enough for most farmers.
1 first dug all the ground ont below where the
frost would reach, and filed it up to the sur
face with small stones. On this I laid my
brick floor, in lime mortar. The walls are
brick, eight inches thick, and seven feet high,
with a door on one side two feet wide. The
door should be made of wood and lined with
sheet iron. For the top put on joints, two
by four, set up edgewise, and eight and half
inches from centre to centre, covered with
brick, and put on a heavy coat sof mortar. /
built a small chimney on the top in the CEN
tire, arching it over and covering it with sin
gle roof in the usual way. An arch should
be built on the outside, with small iron door
TO shut itup, similar to a stove door, with a
hole from the arch through the wall of the
smoke house, and an iron CRATE oYerit This
arch is much more convenient and better to
put the FIRE in, than to build fire inside the
smoke house, and the chimney causes draft
through into the smoke-house. Good corn
cobs or hickery wood are the best materials
to make smoke for hams. The cost Of such
asmoke-heuse as | have described is about
500.

LoNG AND FINE wo0L

The late extraordinary rise in the price Of
coarse woel we bad supposed was mainly owl
ing to the demand Of our government for
blankets and clothing for the soldiers. The
following article copied from the Mark Laue
Express suggests more permanent and salts
factory reason for this singular change.
IAN extraordinary change, in fact, has ia
ken place in the trade, by virtue Of which the
long and the fine short woods have changed
places, the former having advanced and the
latter receded in price, especially lambs
wool, which formally was the most valuable
of any kind of native growth. This descrip
ton has fallen to aboat II pence, or 2S cents
per Ib., while Leicestershire teggs or hog
gett' wool from the same sheep will fetch, or
has fetched 2s. Cd, or 90 cents per lb, the
fleece weighing IA lbs. The causes for so
strange an alteration in he wool trade are
various, but may be traced in theintroduction
Of the Alpac or Lama wool from Peru. The
length and hneness Of this material enabled
the manufacturer to make kind of fabric en-
tirely new to the British market, namely.
these light gossamer stuffs known as alpaeas,
so much priced and worn by our fair country
women. The success of this material set the
manufacturers to work to attempt limitations
Of ii from the long wool Of British growth In
this they succeeded, especially since the inFen-
zion Of conlbiag wool by machinery about
fourteen years ago, which greatly improved
the operation, as well as the uniformity OF the
material upon which it was employed. By
the use of this machine, wool can now be
combed Of two-and a-half inches in length,
bat it is the long Lincolnshire, Yorkshire,
Romuey Marsh, and Cotswolds that have SO
much increased IN value since the introdue-
ton of Lama and Alpaca wool. The facility
for perfeeting these woods for the purpose OF
making limitations of Alpaca fabrics, is one Of
the causes of the advance; fer the enormous
demand for such fabrics for foreign countries,
with the supply limited to the growth Of the
United Kingdom, has rendered this far more
scarce than the short wool, OF which the
amount from our colonies of Australia and
New Zealand is annually increasing.

WINTER CARE OF CATTLE

How many farmers there are who towards
the close of winter, complain of being short
of fodder and are compelled to purchase hay
at high prices to carry their stock until pas
ture time. / know from experience what
this is and find it does not pay.
There are two causes and also two RENE
dies for this state Of things, viz: Too heavya
stock and too wasteful feeding For the form
er the remedy is obvious; for the latter,
great many farmers have not yet discovered a
preventive; but go in the old way of feeding
in common square racks in the yard, either
cornfodder, straw or hay. Here is where the
loss occurs, and did every farmer know the
great gain there would be in cutting up every
thing he feeds, instead Of feeding it whole,
there would be no more complaints of ''short
fodder have tried it and find that | can
winter ten head of cattle on cld fodder nole,
tchere / ollly iciHteTed FEE last year, and what
is more, keep them in better orderl | use a
fodder-eutter, worked by hand or horse as
the case may be, and feed in the yard in
troughs six feet long eighteen inches deep
and two. feet wide at the top, sloping to one
foot at the bottom Ny cattle eat it up clean
--hard bats, stalks and all; and one ordinary
bundle of fodder-such as would be general
ly given to a steer at one meal-lasts an ami
NAL whole day.
Another advantage Is, my manure is all
short, easily handled in the spring when |
heap it up under the sheds, and ! am not
bothered by the long cornstalks all through it.
Cattle prefer their fodder cut, and win eat il
more quietly.
The same saving may be accomplished in
the stable, by cutting the hay fed to the hors
es, cows, &c. They soon learn to ike it bet
Ter than long hay, and then they can waste
none.
Let every farmer who has not tried it, anC
who has been worried to know how to get hi
cattle through the winter rightly without buy
ing hay, try this plan, and if he does it right
he viii never regret the outlay for the cutter
My saving offodder in one winter will think

We see it recommended in more than one
agricultural journal, that the best way to pro
tect young fruit trees-such as apples, pears,
cherries, &c.-against frost, is to apply agood
mulch Of manure or straw. Perhaps in more
northern latitades this may be of service, pro-
vided there are no mice about; otherwise the
mulch viii prove good harbor for them, and
the the bark Of The trees excellent food.
Now, we would suggest q different proce-
dure: In the last of November or beginning
