Emigration Westward

The last census reveals the fact
thatssince 1860 the westward move
ment has chiefly centered in the States
of Minnesota, Iowa and Missouri,
and that these great Western Com
monwealths are repeating the history
of Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois |;
which States, as well as Ohio and
Indiana, have ceased to be an attract
i've resort for foreign and domestic
emigration. They also go to show
that the agricultural and grazing re-
gions are more attractive than the
mining regions Of the interior Of the
Continent. Kansas and Nebraska,
too, offer special inducements as
favored points for those engaged in
fbe grazing interests. The inference
from these facts is, that the increase
to population in the Territories must
in the future be slow. However. if
we apply to the new regions west of
Missouri and Iowa the ratio ofincrease
ofpopulation aud material progress
achieved in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
during the past hundred years, there
must accumulate in the ensuing GEN.
tury a population of at least ten mil
lions: and if we apply the rate of in
crease in Iowa, Missouri and Kansas,
the population Will reach at least
twenty-five millions, embracing thous-
ands ofmiles ofrailway and telegraph,
diversity OF industries and a homo
geneous unity of language suggestive
Of the destiny of the American people
which is to subdue the continent.

Wheat Culture in Arkansas.

Wheat grown on the prairies of
Arkansas is pronounced to be superb
or to that of Illinois, by q correspon-
dent of the st. Louis Democrat
After referring to the fact that hither-
to the great prairies Of the west have
been looked upon as worthless for
agricultural purposes, be says that
within two or three years expert
ments have been tried with wheat
and corn, but nothing proved very
satisfactory until last fall, when a
large number Of farmers in Prairie
County determined to demonstrate
the practicability of raising wheat
on prarie land, and consequently
they put in large quantities of this
grain. The result proves that the
prairies of Arkansas are quite as
good for wheat as those of Illinois
or other Western States The wheat
now sown promises a large yield,
and the farmers are said to be rejoic-
ing greatly in consequence. They
are already preparing to putt much
larger crops next fall. the cores
pondent of the success of the expert
ment there will be rush of emigra-
ton to Prairie County, for there are
vast prairies lying open for the COM
mon which can be bought at from
one to FIVE dollars an acre, which in
Illinois would be worth one hundred.
1t is thought that flower mills and
harvesting machines will be in de-
mand there now, and new impetus
given to farming.

the Van Pelt Morganza levce, be-
tween the original Morganza ievee
and Grand leyee. The break Is now
about 4 600 feet wide in he new le-
wee which was about thirty feet
high. The flow of water through this
is checked by the old levee in front
and a deuse growth of cottonwood
between the two lines. In the old
lines there are four breaks, aggrega-
ting about four hundred feet. The
Hickory crevasse, below Baton
Rouge, is now fifteen hundred feet
wide and seven deep, and water pass
ingthrough at velocity of eightmlles
an hour.
Gen. Thomson reports another
crevasse at Lake Side plantation,
Pointe Coupee Parish. He states
that about twenty sugar plantations
have been covered by water from
Hicksy's, and that hundreds of poor
families living on the bayous have
been drownded out The Bonnet
Carre crevasse is now seven hundred
feet deep in the centre, where the le-
wee is entirely gone, and water is cut

vase below Batone Roug will proba-

The Spring Work.

The second month Of spring is now
upon US, and the prospect for favor
abba season for farm labor may be
considered fair; and if the husband
man has been careful in making all
the necessary preparations in his
power to go ahead, when the frost is
out of the ground he may be able to
gain much of his time and get his
crops pitched so as to secure all the
advantages of the early rains, and to
be ahead and keep ahead of his work
throughout the season; considerations
Of no slight importance in all the
avocations of life, and in none of
greater consequence than that of the
farmer. We have, in former numbers
pointed out the objects which require
Immediate, timely attention, and we
now refer to the same, merely to hint
that now is the time for action. 1t
is to be presumed that all your i'm
plements have been overhauled, re-
paired wherever necessary, or new
ones that are absolutely requisite
been procured to .take the place of
those that are worn out; that your
stock has been properly cared for
and not permitted 10 60 back in their
strength during the winter, and more
particularly that your work horses,
mules and oxen have been supplied
with generous food as to keep up and
increase their strength and vigor for
the laborious duties which are now
to be requi ed of them; it is a false
economy, an error of greatmagnitude
take it in any light you may, permit
the dumb beasts upon whom you
arc so greatly to depend to aid you
in the performance of your work TO
be neglected during the resting season
of winter and to fail of receiving
good supply of such Strengthening
food as will give their sinews that
stamina which the heavy strain on
them requires. No other food for
working horses and mules is compar-
able to oats; this fact has been de-
monstrated repeatedly and copiously
by the omnibus and city railroad
companies, and it is ascertained that
although corn is more fattening and
flesh producing, yet for strength
for the particular labors requisite
for sewers labor, nothing equals the
supply of oats; in addition however
they will require hay and fodder,
which are necessary to give disten-
sion to the stomach, and this brings
US to the the renewed of our recon-
mendation to every owner Of work
horses to sow this valuable grain,
even if alone and in sufficient quanti-
ty only for the uses Of the farm. To
those who SOW it for a soiling crop
the great advantage is that it can
be cut quite early, and will come
in admirable with sowed corn, lucerne
roots, &c.
Oats should be, if not already got
ten in, sown with as little delay as
possible The management of the
crop we have, of late, alluded to;
and observation teach US
that the earlier the work is performed

CLovERsEED.-When TO sow clo-
yer seed and how much to the acre,
was the subject of discussion before
the Doylestown Bucks county, Ag-
riculture society last week Most Of
the members favored early sowing.
One person stated that he had sowed
cloverseed on the snow, in February,
and it turned out well. The latter
end of March or probably the few first
days of April is after all the best
time. As to quantity, some recon-
mended four quarts to the acre, 9TH
ers FIVE to six 1t was agreed that
the thicker clover can be grown the
better for the soil. In reply to an in
quiry whether old seed would do TO
sow, several members stated that
they had found it to grow well to
two, three and four years old.

The Lee Memorial Monument.

The latest news from the Lee Memorial
Association is that Prof. V. Valentine, the
sculptor, has procured from Vermont Il
block Of pure white marble from which he
is now fashiOning "a recruitment figure of
Gen'l Lee, to he placed on the grand nonu-
,uent that is now being erected at his tomb
at the Washington and Lee University.
Lexington, Va. The figure represents Genl
Lee requesting i'll an easy position upon Il
couch, his head and shoulders slightly raised
above the body, his left arm outstretchedl
by The side of his sword, his right arm laid
across his breast. He wears full Confe,cr-
ate uniform, including boots and aauntlet>,
and light drapery covers the whole form.
| The appearance Is easy and graceful, lntii-
eating peaceful sumber rather than death.
| This monument when surn,ountcd with
such Il fine work of art, will I've lasting
memorial to one of Nir.,inas HOblest sons
and patriots. The members of this AssOci-
alton are gentlemen well and favorably
known by the entire community, who will
see that nothing is left undone that will add
to the beauty and finish of this great " Drk.
We are advised by the secretary, Mr.. Charles
A. Davidson, of Lexington, ", that not
sufficient funds have vet been subscribed to
fully complete the monument. In order to
further this object they have issued a LIFE
SIZE steel engraved portrait of Genl Lee,
to be sold only by subscript through au
thOriZed agents; the proceeds of such sales
to DE applied toward the completion of the
work. They and we feel that this is an OPP
portunity for all not only to procure Il SUI
peru lfe-like portrait of the great General
at very reasonable price, but also enables
every person to aid i'll the erection Of a last
ing monument to his memory. Each sub
scriber will receive certificate signed by
the Secretary and Chairman of the Lee
Memorial Association.
We commend this valuable portrat 10
the public, and predict for it immense sales.

agency in this section to assist in this noble
work. w. w. BNSEWICk Il Co., Nos III
