HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, ,
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 81. 70
Ny Dear Sir: In the confusion which
has arisen in some of the public journals
about estimates and appropriations and
disbursements, the impression has been
created that Gen. Grants administration
has expended more money in the same
time than its immediate predecessors.
This is totally erroneous, as the balance
sheet, on the comparison of official figures,
will clearly establish. The present ad-
ministration has been in power nearly a
year, and we can compare that period
with the closing twelve months of Presi-
dent Johnsou's ADMINISTRATION. From
March l, 1868, to March /, 1869, the total
receipts into the Treasury were little
over S36S, OO0, 000--T avoid fractions for
the sake Of perspicnity. Every dollar of
this was expended, and the public debt
for the same period increased about S.
OOO,OOO, as appears from the official publi-
cations OF the Treasury Department. thus
showing total expenditure for the wear
of $374,000,000. = -

PRocTORsvILLE. - Last Sabbath the
Rev. DIR. Freeman of the Baptist church
at Vergennes exchanged with the Rev.
Mr.. Lovett of the Methodist Episcopal
church here, and preached at the morning
service and at Z o'clock in the evening, in
the house of the latter society, to an ap-
preciative audience. 1t is now some
years since we have had the pleasure of
hearing one of his sermons until this oc.
casion, but find that age even adds to the
erudition and biblical interest of his dis
course. The doctor spoke without notes,
entirely extemporaneous, as we believe is
his usual custom, and yet his discourse
throughout showed clear, comprehensive
and logical understanding of his subject,
edifying indeed to the nearer, as COM
pared with too many speakers who at
tempt that manner of preaching at the
present day. 1t is a dangerous and un-
profitable experiment for a speaker,
whether of the clergy or the public lee
turer, unless he land we use the masculine
indicative without intending any slight
to those speakers who used to be known
as of the other SEX k,aoaos that he is both
master of his subject and himself, to 90
into the desk or upon the platform rely
ing solely upon the inspiration of the
moment for his subject or for words in
which to clothe the theme of his teach
ings. And the probabilities are that I'M
less he is fortified with the labor of prep.
aration, and has had access to both pen
and paper, he will very soon reach "a
lame and impotent conclusion" to his
sacerdotal or scholastic efforts. Wendell
Phillips, Henry Ward Beecher or DR.
Freeman may succeed, but the tread-nill
track of some medium" or the uncertain
efforts of an lily prepared extemporaneoui
speaker, cannot result in profit to hi:
hearers or satisfaction to himself.
On the Goth of February, on com.
plant of Grand Juror Morse, Charles
Reynolds, an eleven years old lad, was
brought before Samuel Adams, Esq, and
sentenced to the Reform School for one
year, with further sentence that, unless
he behaved himself there, he should b.
committed to the Jail at Woodstock fol
two months, and pay fine of $5 and costs
The offenses charged against the boy
were for defacing the school-house, he
making obscene pictures thereon, and fol
disturbing the peace by a continuous
abuse of the smaller scholars of the school
And the arguments in favor of sending
him to the Reform School were, that he
was bad boy in almost all respects, DISC
bedient to teachers, untruthful and IN
governsble generally. With a view t.
save such boys from an ultimate lodgmeni
in State prison, it is fortunate that tn,
institution at Waterbury has been estab
lished. 1t may interest tobacco dealers
and older narcotic worshipers to know
that this boy has used the weed continu
uously, whenever he could beg, buy OF
steal it, ever since he was seven years old
and if picking in that juice hath any
virtue, this lad will certainly be saved.

SMUT IN WHEAT,
Mr.. A. G. Percy commune Gates the
following to the Rurdl Nea0 Yorker:

Mr.. A. G. Percy communi Gates the
following to the Rurdl NeaO Yorker:
Having read in the Rural Nea0 Yorker
the answers to prevent smut in wheat, by
Mr.. Fuller and M. Curtis, l must say
that my experience does not confirm their
opinions. In 1S4l, purchased farm in
the town of Lyons, which had been
cleared twenty-seven years, and cropped
twenty-four, as learned after my pur-
chase from some of the neighbOrs; said
land had never been seeded to red clover.
except an orchard, which l sowed with
plaster, at the rate of two bushels per
acre. Said orchard was moved and then
plowed, and then sowed to wheat, as well
as other portions of the farm, in the fall
of 1912. As the crop of wheat in said
year was very full of smut, and produced
bit ten bushels per acre, l determined to
get rid of the smut at once. l brined and
heavily lined every bushel that sowed,
supposing that there would be perfect
cure, as l had read many times that no
smutSwould grow after such treatment.
Behold the result Where the clover
and plaster were sOWn, it was perfect
wheat; not smut head could be seen;
but on all Of the other land there was
thousands of heads that were completely
filled with smut, many of them not over
sixteen inches high.
The land was sandy and gravelly loan,
and after it had once been seeded with
clover and plastered at the rate of two
hundred pounds to the acre the smut dis
appeared. have no doubt but the brin-
ing and lining of wheat is of value to
the preceding crop; but do not believe it
Will prevent smut unless the land has
been previously filled with heterogeneous
food, to aid the proper development of the
wheat plant.

SELECTING SEED WHEAT.

Mr.. Fruit tells, in the Prairie Farmer.
how he obtained the "Early May wheat,
very good variety, equal to any, even
that which is being advertised at dollar
pint by the seedsmen. Being in wheat
field at harvest time, he noticed some
heads that appeared ripper and sounder
than the rest, and got leave to go among
the standing grain and select such heads as
he chose. He soon made collection of
heads, ripper, sounder, and better devel-
oped than the mass of grain in the entire
wheat field. This he sowed, and produced
what seems to be new variety of fine,
heavy wheat, from twenty-five to thirty
bushels to the acre. This reminds US of a
story that is told of the Chinese Empe-
ror, who, noticing stalk of wheat grow
ing in field, taller and ripper than the
rest of the field, caused it to be gathered
and planted, and its produce cultivated.
He thus introduced finer variety than
had hitherto been grown in China, great
ly to the advantage of his people. These
instances simply show the advantage of
selecting good seed, matter that receives
much less attention than it deserves, and
is as applicable to all other grain as wheat.
When wheat is cultivated in the drill it is
easy to go through the field and select the
ripest, largest and soundest seeds. A few
quarts of such seed, carefully preserved
and cultivated-as of course it would be
would soon produce marked effect in
any neighborhood. Any farmer who will
follow this practice of gathering the best
heads in his field would soon make him
self the reputation of having the best seed
wheat in his neighborhood, which would
be small fortune for him, and the infiu-
ence of his example would render him a
public benefactor. The practice of Sc
lecting the best ears of corn for seed,
which has long been pursued by New
England farmers. is doubtless one reason
why the corn crop in our Jess favorable
climate and soil equals or even surpasses
the average crops of the corn States at
the West where they dip into the corn
bin and use the average corn for seed.
The time for selecting the best heads of
wheat is now close at hand. How many
farmers this season will devote few
hours to selecting the best heads of wheat
for seed the next year,

ties of sweet corn-early, rniddling OF
late. Of the several sorts, think Oh
colts preferable, both for table use and
Tor cattle feeding. The late twelve rowed
sweet corn grew very large, and the plants
when fed required cutting into six-inch
pieces, while the smaller sorts were read
lily eaten the whole length of the plants.
This fodder was freely fed at night for
many weeks, to my cows in milk, from
early September The remainder was cut
and stocked before injury from frost, and
lasted until some time in November. |
am satisfied that the result OF this extra
food TO COWS more than paid for all the
trouble.
The quantity of green foliage that can
be grown in drills on good land with
proper culture is enormous. Mr.. Ma
thaniel White, few years since, on his
highly cultivated farm, about one mile
from the State House, Concord, grew at
the rate of sixty tons an acre Of green
corn of the large Southern kind. l do
not know how much the shrinkage on
such fodder would be, when well dried in
the shook or barn; but doubtless the dry
fodder would afford many tons more to
the acre than the heaviest crop of grass
grown on our best farms. Some farmers
say that a ton of well kept corn fodder
is worth as much as ton of fair stock

HOGS WANT SULPHUR.

Whether hogs require sulphur as an
essential to their health, or whether it is
sought by them as condiment, nay not
be known with certainty. But one thing
is sure, they devour it with greed when
ever it is to be found. 1t is for this pur-
pose probably that they can eat large
quantities of soft coal, which contains 8
large amount of sulphur. Perhaps it is
the most economical method of supplying
hogs with sulphur during the winter,
when they require a good deal of carbon.
But in the summer it is better to feed to
them substances that contain the less car
bon, on account of their producing less
heat. Mustard is one of the best things
for this purpose, and on that account
some of it should be sown into every pas
tuTe into which the hogs are turned. If
hogs are kept penned up, it is well to sup
ply them with the wild mustard that
grows in the fields or highways, or to
cultivate some of the better varieties for
them. They will eat it, leaves, flowers,
seed and stalk.

APPLES As FOOD.

Says Liebig on this subject: ''The i'm
portance of apples as food has not, hith-
erto, been sufficiently estimated or under
stood. Besides contributing large pro-
portion of sugar, mucilage, and other nu-
tritive compounds in the form of food,
they contain such fine combination of
vegetable acids, extractive substances and
aromatic principles as to act powerfully
in the capacity of refrigerants, tonics and
antiseptics; and when freely used at the
season of ripeness, by rural laborers and
others, they probably maintain and
strengthen the power of productive
labor"
