We asked Mr.. ellison what the cost of
his little farming this season has been,
and he gave us the following statement
Expense of labor and feed on the 81
rods Of land on which he raised the rye.
1t was heavily MANFRED in 1872, and
from it he took luxurient growth OF
corn in September of that year. Ga the
same day he plowed, narrowed and
sowed rye and grass seed.
For that labor he paid 81 90

Which, taken from the cash received
from the rye field, (s6250) leaves s43.93
for the use of 81 square rods Of land.
Add to the s62.50 the amount for
which he sold his hay crop, 1921 and
it equals s15371.

he paid Proctor for the land $500 an

Recently we saw an article in the
Bellows Falls TIMES. in which the writer
gave some reasons why he had quit the
cultivation of tobacco, and gone to rails
ing beans
We submit the foregoing statement to
the tobacco raisers in the Connecticut
River valley, and respectfully ask them
the question, whether they would not be
as certain of success should they devote
the same untiriDg and extraordinary
care in the cultivation o. c)rn, rye, po-
tatoes or even beans ana huckwheat-
that they are obliged to devote to the
tobacco crop, would they not get richer
in term of years? Mr. Gibson is a
man 80 years of age, and never thought
of farming on large scale, being tan
ner bv trade. Bot be would like to lei
some of the Westminster farmers, who
have just lost their tobacco crop by the
hail-storm or frost, have some of his
seed rye to try on half acre next year,
if they will attend to their rye culture
as devotedly as they do the Indian weed,

Josiah ellison, Esq, who has kept it in
good state of cultivation since, always

Observing the tall rye and thick cover
ing of hay upon it this season, we have
taken pains to gather from actual mea-
sure and weight the following result:
81 square rods of it he sowed to white
winter rye on the 4th Of September, 1872.
In July, 1873, he harvested the rye, not
allowing the straw to get very ripe, and
has Just threshed and measured up %
bushels.
The straw in bundles (never united for
threshing at alb after threshing, weighed

ECONOMICAL DISPENSE rIoN OF LAW IN VIRGINIA
While he legislature and the Governor are
devising ways of economizing in the admins
tration of State matters our magistra ties can be
gin ahead of them A few weeks since Mayor
Trout of Stanton set an example which will
bear copying. couple of colored men charged
with series ofroberies were arraigned, and the
evidence very clear he ordered them to be set TO
work for ten months in the chain gang working
in the city. Hal they been sent on months of
'mprisment at the States expense in the city Jail
at 40 cents Gay each a jury trial at - a
day for the jflrymen and fees without numb r,
and then the sentence of Imprisonment would
have come afterwards. If our magistrates would
throw little promptness into their decisi MS
they would save The State good deal of jail fees
and do no injustice to any one.
