a party or ridemen and other gentlemen, for

adjourned to the butts OF the North Middle

thickness described having been fixed in an
upright position, common halfpenny DIP

distance OF about fifteen PAGES. Inc can,
die struck the board with its null length, ana
passed through, leaving hole exactly the
sh .pe OF the candle. Tne remains OF the can
die were found scattered in pieces resembling
snow flakes ON the high mound OF earth in
the rear of the boar. A second candle,
when fired nom the fowhng-piece, passed
through the board, making circular hole,
whicn was, however, very jagged round the
edges. A third candle carl led away large

The Armies of Grant and Lee i'm Is64-5.

According to the World, "Lee's total force,
including reinforcements, was 70,000."-
Against this we have simply to set the fact,
shown by the records Of the commissary gen.
eial OF prisoners, that the number OF prison
ers taken by the armies OF The Potomac and
James from May 1, 1864, to April 8, 1865,
was 66,512. Add to these the number OF kill
ed and wounded, and the abslrdity OF limit
ing Lees force to 10000, or anything like it,
becomes apparent. The World says that
when both armies had reached the James,
June 10, the number of Grants army which
had been put hors de combat was 117,000."
The fact is that Grants entire loss from May
a. 1864, to April 9, 1865. was 1861 killed,
64.452 wounded, and 26,9SS missing; total,
104,O01. During the same time Lees losses
were at least 10000 killed, and $4,000 wound
ed, besides 81 SIP missing; total of 1852
At the opening OF the campaign, Grant had
on the Rapidan 9S,0l9 men, and under But
Ter $4,000 more, making 123,019 altogether.
Lee, at the same time, had ON the Rapidan
SO, 742, and in and about Richmond and Pc
tersburg 32,654, making in all, 1886. So
far, then, from being outnumbered by our
troops three to one, the rebels were nearly
even with us.-Nelo York Sun.

In preparing the ground tor winter wheat,
let ii be well pulverized, and manured upon
the surface with fine well rotted manure.-
This gives the wheat plant strength to endure
the cold months and fits the ground for re-
ceiving clover seed carly in the spring.
Thirty years ago man in Massachusetts
planted some 30 acres of acorns, and the re-
SUIT Is fine oak forest with trees from foot
to 'oot and half in diameter. We trust
that man is still living to enjoy the fruits of
his labor, and if he is not the coming pener-
alton will bless his memory.
Farmers sometimes make mis- take in
crowding the soil with roots, which should al
ways have room enough. When standing too
thick don't be so tender hearted as not to
thin them out We know it is unpleasant to
pull up and throw away fresh good looking
plant, hut then it must be done, if you expect
a profitable crop.
1t is said that tender raspberries and flow
ers do better at Quebec than at New Orleans.
If this be true, it furnishes subjec: of study
for the florist and philosopher.
To have more land than can be used is like
selfrighteousness, the more you have of it,
the worse off you are. Large farms ale often
very Improbable. They make hard work,
but yield small profit. "a little farm well
titled and little wife well wllled"; every
body knows these verses, for they are almost
as old as the hills. But there is good COM
mon sense in them.
,Lo, -.
yield half, not a whole crop next year. 1t is
well to remember this
Perhaps every farmer does not fully under
stand fall plowing. All soils are not fit to plow
in the fall. When soil melts in the rain
and becomes like mortar bed, it should not
be plowed in the fall, bu. heavy clays which
the frost pulverizes should be. Generally
fall plowing is best, and if the same land is
plowed in the spring, it will not be injured.
Mother earth loves to be thoroughly manip-
ulated before she gives ample sust nance.
I Coliax, who is to be our next Vice-Presi-
dent, has introduced a strawberry at South
Bend, Indiana, which is the largest, both in
plant and fruit, OF any variety, and is very
productive. But it is too soft to ship and is
only fit for home use.
7 Californians grow the largest vegetables in
the world and do things on grand scale.
Their steamplow promises to be great
success. II cuts burrows nine feet under and
from five to eight inches deep, pulverizing
the soil very fine and travels six miles an
hour. 1t weighs only seven tons. We dare
not say how many acres it will plo-y in day.
but it would turn over decently sized farm
in few hours. As Mayberry in the play
says: 'This is great country" and in some
things California takes the lead. Hep wheat
fields are destined to be much more valuable
than her placers of gold. The world may be
governed loo much, but the earth is not titled
enough. Young mau! DON'T look with con-
tempt upon farming! 1t is the most noble
employment you can engage in. While trade
and traffic may tempt you to be little
tricky, if not absolutely dishonest, farming
will not only put money in your pocket, bat
tend to make you the "noblest work OF God"
