EARNING A FARM-A Suffolk cor
respondent of the London Agricultural
Gazette, thus recounts an instance OF
success in American farming, by an
English father and son:
"Charles Butcher, OF Framlington.
England, with grown-up son and
daughter, came to Newly ork in Nav,
1855, it is stated, and finally located at
Palmer Monroe County, (probably
Parma) where the father and son hired
out to farmer at SIG a month; the
daughter obtaining place in Ohio at
81 month They had barely enough
money to pay their travelling expenses,
and when harvest came on, pair of
mittens, which were needed for protec-
ton against Canada thistles, were OBJ
tanned on credit. They worked faith
fully and industriously, and in three
years had saved between $500 and
$500. At that time a rather neglec-
ted farm of sixty-four acres, subject to
frequent overflow and the ravages of
the wire-worm, was offered them at
$50 per acre, $500 cash, the balance in
instalments during ten years, which
they accepted. They speedily stopped
the overflow, made the culture sue
cess, the son married "a treasure of a
WIFE, without money, and in five years,
instead of ten, the farm was paid for.
besides being well stocked. A year or
two later they bought near by farm
of l40 acres, at S95 an acre, sold their
first farm at $S5 per acre, and the
father is now in England on brief
visit to old friends, having sold his
farm and stock to his son for $40. 900,
payable in twelve annual installments,
at seven per cent, interest, while the
property is generally valued at Sic
per acre, or $1540O The father is
fifty-eight years of age, hearty and hale
looking, but can neither read nor write.
The facts were obtained from Mr.. But
cher himself, and being published las
they deserved to beg with commentator
in England, it will be an additional in
centive to English laborers to seek to
better their condition by emigration.

The Fowl HoUsE.-The sweepings
from the poultry house Improperly saved,
form the richest source of manure on
the plantation. Analysis of the dropp-
ings of domestic fowls shows more
than sixteen, per cent. of heterogeneous
matter, indicating its value to be near
lv equal to the richest specimens Of
Peruvian Guano. Since the cost of it
is nothing, the use of it is great. The
fowl house should be swept out twice
or three times every week, and all the
droppings placed in barrel, while
fresh; they should be covered over with
land plaster charcoal dust, or fine woods
earth. This will preserve it in good
condition, and prevent any loss by c.
evaporation.
The peculiar richness of the dung Of
fowls is supposed to be from the fact
that the liquid and solid excrements
are together. Its value as manure is
far more permanent than guano, the
strength of it being very perceptible
for years.
For liquid manuring there is no bet
ter preparation than water, in which
fowlhouse manure has been leached.
A barrel halfflled from the fowl house
and sunk in the ground in the garden,
and then kept filled with water, to be
used as wanted, will furnish liquid
manure for many weeks. When the
soaking is fresh, it should be diluted,
for it is very easy to burn up plants by
using too strong a solution.

AYRSHIRE Cows.-An Ayrshire COW

given in seven consecutive days in
March 277 - pounds of milk, from
which was made IA pounds IA ounces
of butter; the feed was hay and two
quarts of oats and corn-meal per day.
On grass she now Gune) gives %
quarts of milk per day. The secret of
the large milking of Ayrshire cows is
that for scores of years they have been
raised specially for this purpose by
selecting for breeding stock only the
produce, both male and female, of the
most productive cows.

FINANCES IN SOUTHERN STATES.
KuLlux Committee Report.

The report of the Sub-Kuklux Commit
tee who have enquired into the financial
condition of the Southern States is paper
valuable for its carefully prepared statis-
tics and reliable statements To those
who think the South is all on the verge of
bankruptcy we commend IL for careful
consideration
1t appears that when the late insurrec-
tionary States entered the rebellion then
debts and contingent liabilities were $l02,-
5l6,777 SS. They held trust funds, assets
and balances, so, 147,747 70, These funds
and assets were on deposit or in stocks of
banks, railroads and other internal inn
provements. lL..
The contingent liabilities were secured
by mortgages on lands, in stocks, banks
and interest in liens, or on turnpikes, rail-
roads and canals. The banks had capital,
over SCI 200, 900; coin, overS1S 000, 000 circu-
lation, over $5l ,000, 900. There were 8,9A
miles of railway, which cost S237 1916, 097.

The value of their stock and securities,
liens, etc., for contingent liabilities were
greatly reduced. Banks were broken and
overwhelmed with debt, and their circula-
ton lost to the people or the States. Per-
sonal property had been scattered, consum-
ed, or destroyed, and even real estate was
damaged by neglect of buildings, fences,
fields, levees and drains, so that the assess
ed value of property was reduced to 81 $685.

slaves, 81, 272, 900, 800 20.
The Confederate debt, nearly all of which
fell ON the Southern people, is stated as
follows:
The debt contracted by the States in the
confederacy was variously estimated, and
we have not the data to fix the amount
exactly. Probably the confusion which
followed the fall of Petersburg prevented
a final statement. The amount was stated
for October /, 1864, at 81 ,6S7, 3lo,329. The
war continued six months after that date
and expenses were estimated at the rate of
81, 427 ,448,77S. The receipts from taxes
had become nominal, and the debt at the
end is estimated at s., 345, 297, 1913.

The kukluX.

The Joint Select Committee on the con-
dition of affairs in the late insurrectionary
States, have just made their report to Con-
gress. From this report it is shown that
to Governor Brownlow is due the credit of
being one of the first to discover and de-
feet this gigantic conspiracy, and to warn
the country of its dangerous and damnable
purposes. The report says:
Therear expressions of belief by United
States military officers and others that Sc
cret organizations were formed in the in
surrectionarry States soon after the close
of the war, hostile to and intended to EN-
barrass the Government of the United
States and of the States in the proper ad-
ministration of the affairs of the county.
Among these were the statements made by
Major General Thomas before the Recon-
struction Committee in February, 1885, and
by Gen. Mead in his official report for
1868, as commander of the Department of
the South. Neither of the statsments
of these gentlemen refer by name to the
kuklux Khan, but they cover the period
during which it made its appearance. Its
gradual development may be traced by
bearing in mind these facts, and taking up
the evidence of General n. ID. Forrest,
given before this Committee. AS he fixes
the earliest date for the existence of the
kuklux, assigns several motives for their
organization, and possesses their conf
dence SO far as to know their signs and
passwords, and to be able, as he alleges, to
disband them in 1868, we proceed to con-
slider and compare his various statements.
The organization of the khan is thus fixed
in 1866, and by reference to a proclamation
of Governor Brownlow, issued in that
year, the report shows the extent to which
outrage and crime were committed.

Postmaster Jones, of New-York,
tells a good campaign story of Hor-
ace Greeley. Some time ago one
Norton, cashier of the post-ot1ice,
turned out defaulter, and the
United States government came
down on his securities, among whom
was Horace Greeley, responsible to
the extent Of about $4,000. Gree
ley was very restless under this obli-
CATION, and he is so much in fear of
debt that he actually wanted to give
his check for tho whole sum and get
it off his mind. Finally meeting
of the indorsers was held, and Mr..
Greeley put on his spectaclcs, took
up his bond, and dolefully read over
the conditions. "They say I write
an Internally bad hand" said Gree
ley, but they can read it plainly
enough when it gets on one Of these
things"
