Worn out thunderstorm Crops.

This is serious but fruitful subject fol
| thought, why should lands euer be worn
| out? 1t is just as unwise to wear out
| land, as to exhaust q good servant or
horse, for want of, or rather by withhold.
| ing, proper food it is not Improbable to
properly feed and moderately work good
team ; but it is Improbable to overwork
and underfeed the animals; so it is UNI
profitable to continually crop land without
| returning any substance or manure to it.
The following from The Western Planter,
of Missouri, about Glands worn out in
twelve or fifteen years." and about large
yields Of corn, is worthy of careful notice |:
"lnstead of wearing OUT every ccre
ought to be capable of producing double
the present crops at the end of five
years Looking over the report of crops
for 1871, find Mr.. John s. Hope received
premium from the Brandywine farmers
club, Pennsylvania, for the best four acres
of corn, part Of field of twelve acres,
which had been pastured uninterruptedly
for more than forty years. 1t was cut and
shocked in the latter part Of September,
and crlbbed about November. Ten acres
averaged one hundred bushels per acre |;
four acres of these reaching about one
hundred and twenty bushels each.
" Was that land worn out?
" In looking over the same report, | find
the average corn crop of Missouri, 3s
bushels; Nebraska, Al; Kansas, 40;
Iowa. AZ. What makes the difference?
Is it not our slovenly, halfway style of do
ing things? We cultivate, or rather run
over too much land"
These reflections apply with great sig
nificance to the farming of Virginia. The
reports and statistics OF the agricultural de-
partment show the average yield Of Indian
corn. per acre, in this state, to be fraction
over twenty-five bushels; while some
farmers raise over sixty, and a few obtain
over one hundred bushels per acre. Now,
is it not shame that the average through
out the state should be less than one
fourth of good crop? Now is just the
time for farmers to make the necessary
preparations for good, large yield of sum-
mer crops, which are sure TO be greatly
needed on account of certain short wheat
crop. D. S. G.

The Case of MIR. Colfax the Amendo
Honorable from a Political Oppo-
nRnf.

LOUISVILLE, March 1O.--The Courier
Journal to-day contains the following
double-leaded editorial: 1--WE have taken
the trouble to review carefully the case of
Colfax as recorded in the congressional
investigation, and compare 1t with the
elaborate defense, delivered BY the
late vice.president at South Bend, last
Saturday. The result of our research is.
that he has given successful and satsfac.
tory explanation of the entire matter. 1t
will require closer analysis than that
which we have made or are capable of
making to alter our opinion that in this
business Mr.. Colfax has been very much
abused and wronged, and we are readierto
allow thus since we have never been tempted.
and could not be induced to sacrifice the pri-
vate character of any man to partisan
interest or prejudice. II ling what I'VE
believe to he acts of personal justice VIC
desire to be free and explicit, aud ling, udg-
ing, and therefore we shall not shallow the
congratulations which we have to offer a

until they grow up to be men and women.
1t is absurd for a man to attempt to chas.
tise another mans child because the latter
comes off victor in street fight. A gen.
tleman who became enraged at an affair oil
this kind, and made several passes with O
bludgeon at small urchin, had to undergo
the modification of arrest by an officer
and his cash account is five dollars less

Bear and forbear. Let US have peace.
