milk, cheese, and wool producing animals
consume other food besides grass and hay.
To make ample allowance for this, we de-
duct the entire value of the corn and oat
crops of 1870, estimated at $270,0O0, 900,
and this leaves a remainder of 1889 ,O00,-
600 to be credited to the hay and grass
crop of that year, when the reported ag-
gregate of all farm products was $2,447,-
538,658. If our estimates make even the
toughest approach to accuracy, the value
of that crop was two-fifths of the aggre-
gate value Of all farm products, and hence
we may infer that two-fifths of the capital
then invested in agricultural pursuits
was devoted to the grass crop, and this in
the United States equals, in round num-
bers, $4,575, 100000. From these figures
the deduction is palpable that King Cot
ton is uncrowned and dethroned, and we
may be forced to admit that all "flesh" and
all else is hay, if not "grass. ."-Aemphis

Three Paragraphs of Gold.

A GOOD advertisement in widely cir
culated newspaper is the best of all possi-
BILE statesmen. 1t is salesman who never
sleeps, and is never weary; who goes after
business early and late; who accosts the
merchant in his shop, the tscholar in his
study, the lawyer in his office, the lady at
her tea table; who can be in thousand
places at once, and speak to million
doodle every day, saying to each one the
best thing in the best manner.
A good advertisement in newspaper
pays no fares on railroads; costs nothing
for hotel bills; gives away no boxes of
cigars to customers, or merino dresses to
customers wives; drinks no whisky un-
der the head of travelling expenses; but
goes at once and all the time about its
business free of expense
A good advertisement insures business
connection of the most permanent and in
dependent basis, and is in certain sense
guarantee to the customer of fair and
moderate prices. Experience has shown
that the dealer whose wares have obtained
public celebrity is not only enabled to
sell, but is forced to sell, at reasonable
rates, and to furnish a good article.

obliged to decide, or the continuance of astate
Government beyond the time for which it is
elected, and such continuance involves the
election of members of Congress and other
similar questions, upon which the Govern

Indian Agent SOule.

According to. late and reliable reports, the temporary Indian Agent at Camp Apa- che, Dr. M. Soule, has received more credit ty this paper than his course deserved, and for this we are sorry. It is so much more to our taste to write pleasant than un- pleasant words of ofice-s, that on this score alone We always regret when they obiige IS to modify or withdraw our compliments and rasp them on the raw places of their own making.
 Agent soule, according to our reports, which come very straight, did what be could to have General Crooks o1de. GoI < daily count of the Apaches nullifed. It seems he thought those Apaches SO ex- clusively under his control, that any reg ulation regarding them by General Crook was unwarranted meddlesomeness and that his high office required him to tele- graph the Indian Commissioner thereon. We'll, the dispatch was sent and the reply was a most excellent and fit snub to Agent Soule, for 1t read substantially that the Department would not interfere with any regulations General Crook deemed miH- tary necessity.
 tis uot worth while, in tho ligbto of past and present experience with the resorva- ton Indians, to recount the evils Dr. Souie would have been pleased to continue, nor to say mnch more of a man who is going to leave the Indian service; but it is a duty to tell the public what is here written. The Doctor may be thoroughly honest, not only in expending government moneys in behalf of the Indian, but even in his un- wise attempt to induce the Board of h. dian Commissioners to again cause a. suspension of the very measures which are essential to secure a speedy and lasting peace and to promote the best interests of humanity, and therefore this mild reference to a single net of several reported ones having no better bearings than his uasuc- eesstuI telegram.

The New Year.

Don't be alarmed, good natured reader.
 It is far from our mind to infict moral lecture upon you, as many Wise journalists do "about these days" We might warn some of you not to continue to fight "the tiger" which you have So long tried to worry; but upon inquiry of those who have lately seen the animal, we learn he is none the worse for all the blows you have dealt him during the past year, and gives excellent signs that he will live fresh as ever for another twelve-month. So far then as sympathy with "the tiger goes, you need not let up on him; and as he is chivalrous, Plucky beast, your own pride will impel you to not g've up the bat- tie whiie he smilingly invites you to the contest of "getting even" with him.
 You who have taken issue with John Barley corn may still have hopes of using him up during this year, but if you do persist in another years tussle with him and get laid out yours elves, you may still have the consolation of knowing that many thousands of Johns bravest suckers have fared likewise. Then again, if John does continue to floor you who seem bent on swallowing him over and over again, he makes y0a talnk some of your hours happy and also feel very much richer without any more money. John at least gives you smiles and seeming joys as well as real sorFoWs, ard ia this respect Is not alto getheE hesrtless, if yos have set your heart on another years bout with John, it w0uid hardly be manly to be swayed from yoa. bravo pU.poss by the doa.ssSio "-..s of wife and children who don't appreciate the contest you are wAging as you do. In persisting in this struggle you will rarely be charged with being weak minded, or timid, or silly, or any thing else that resembles a woman or her traits; and by the time you go on go another year, most all your friends will grimly say, "well, it don't make much difference with you, it's only question of little time when John will end you."
 But like Artcmus Ward lecture abOug the babes iu the woods, VIC almost forgot to mention the New Year, but 1t no doubt vii be much the same as the old ones gone by except as your own actions may make 1t appear different. TEE CITIZEN extends its hearty cOngratulati ons to all its patrons and all those who get an honest reading of it, wishing sincerely that all their lessons of the past will serve then well IA the future.
