. MONTGOMERY, Co., TENN,
Feb. 18th, 1867.

DEAR CHRONICLE you will allow me
the space would like to speak few words
10 the farmers Of our county, upon subject
in which we are all more or less interested,
but to farmers particularly.
We hear great deal said about hard
times" "poor crops" bad LUCK" &c, &c.
Well think much Of this can be done away
with, by very simple and perfectly feasible
plan. see in the Louisville Courier of the
9th inst, the proceedings of an association
called the Farmers Club of Central Ken
lucky. Why can't we have club Of that
sort here 1t is certainly a move. in the
right direction. II behoves us now 10 make
every edge cut and can see nothing that
would be more beneficial to the country and
to farmers especially than this. here quote
a portion of the address Of the Kentucky
Club:
ave can give no more definite idea Of
the object of the Club than TO enumerate
some of The questions which will be con-

every kind of produce; the best breed of
cattle tor the dairy for market or breed
ing the best variety Of stock for any given
purpose; the best farming implements in
use the best variety of fruits for this eli
mate, and mode Of .propagatng tho same;
the most productive and renmueratve crops,
and the nature of the soil best adapted to
their culture; the most improved method OF
building barns, stables &C.. and the manag-
ing of stock; and, in fact trying to arrive
at the pleasantest and most economical way
OF doing everything pertaining to farm"
Here is the whole thing in nut SHE'LL
| have for some time felt the need of such an
association, but have waited for some older
hand at the plow to break the ground, but
none have thought proper to do SO. There
are many like myself, new hands, and we
want the advice of experienced farmers
We have no money or time to waste on ex-
periments-we have to work, and we wish
to know how to get best paid for pnr work.
Every man has his 'Shobby," or speciality,
on which he keeps himself posted. Now
there is Mr., Smith, who is a horse man, he
can tell you all about horse, he talks horse,
thinks horse, and has good, hard, horse sense.
There is Mr.. Jones who is eOw man, he
thinks there is no fairer sight than his scat
tie on thousand hills, There is Mr.. Brown
he Is decidedly ho9gish, and can prate asglib.

goes home wiser, and neither a poorer

LOYAL WAR CLAIMs.--The records of the
War Department show that accounts to the
amount of over twelve millions dollars have
been filed underline act of 1864, providing
for the payment Of claims Of loyal persons,
for quartermaster's and commissary supplies
actually furnished the army. aIH. F.
One agent in Kentucky has sent in about
half million dollars worth. The Quarter
master General believes that many of the
claims are forgeries, while others are greatly
exaggerated; and to guard against imposi-
ton, he recommends the passage of bill
providing for the appointment by the Presi-
dent with the consent of the Senate, of a
board Of three commissioners for each State
lately in rebellion, whose duty it shall he
to examine and report to the Treasury
Department for the settlement of such as are
found just A bill embodying this idea will
probably be reported by the Senate Military
Committee.
