The extravaganza of General Grants
administration is exempliiied in the
multiplicity of new offices that have
been created since he came into power.
In 1859 the number of employees of the
federal government was 44,527. In
1861, the first year of the war, the num-
Der increased to 46,049. In 1865, the
yearthe war closed, there were SO, 1877
In 1867, after the enormous labors
growing out of the war had been
mainly completed, there were So, l13.
General Grant came into office in 1869,
and in two years-that is, in 1871, six
years after the close of the war-the
number of employees had run up to
57,605, BY 1878, eight years after the
war, the lumber hadincreased to $4,000.
These are official figures, and they
show that during the present admins
tration, in period of profound peace
and after sufficient lapse of time to
dispose of the bulk of the unsettled
business left by the war, the army of
office holders has been increased by a
reinforcement of over 10000 men.
The end is not yet, and the demand
for more men and more money is still
being made. If the postal telegraph
and railroad schemes and some of the
other pet jobs should be accomplished
before the end of his present term.
General Grant would again be at the
head of as large an army as that which
he led into Virginia. Confessional.

"MAKE Hay WHILE THE Sun
SHINES. SO much has been said,
from tipoe to time, in the Rural
Carolinian, about clover and the
grasses, as well as other forage
plants, and the folly Of importing
hay from Maine, or from Massa-
chusetts, that it may seem unneces-
sary to even mention the subject at
this time; but We have long since
learned the value Of repetition.-
One blow may seem to have no ef-
feet, but a succession Of them on
the same point will tell at last
so We shall continue to talk of hay.
Make crab-grass hay, if you can
do no better, though We do not be-
lieye it to be 50 good, by any
means, as fair quality Of limo
thy, Red Top or Bermuda, but if
cut at the proper time, and proper
ly cured, it is better than than the
greater part Of that brought here
from the North; many Northern
dealers seeming to count upon our
supposed ignorance in regard to
hay, as a cloak for their rascality.
But if we cut our crab-grass after
all the life has gone out Of it: and
then expose it to dew and rain for
a week or two, nobody can blame
our poor mules and cattle for turn
ing up their noses at it. In con-
nect;on with dry forage, do not
neglect to have plenty Of turnlps.
The Ruta-bagas should have been
planted in July in the middle and
upper country, but it is notyet too
late, if a stand has not been OBJ
tanned, to SOW on rich, we'll pre-
pared land.-Rural Carolinian for

YOKES.

It has been my painful conVic-
ton, writes a correspondent that
oxen exercise tn cir muscular
strength and tax their noble powers
to a great disadvantage. There IS
a fearful waste Of muscular exer-
ton to the OK, and a consequent
loss to its owner in the use Of I'M
proper yokes and bows. Owners
Of working oxen in the majority Of
cases, 7 believe, pay Indifferent at
tention,to the shape Of their yokes
and bows.
The bulk Of the farmers, in many
places, subject their oxen to enor-
NOUS outlays Of strength in the
use Of toe straight yokes. In the
use Of a straight yoke the OK is
obliged to awkward'y exert the
muscles Of the upper part Of the
shoulders and chest to the excIu-
sion of the use of the powers that
lie at the base of the chest and
neck. The weight or load attached
is too high, yoke that is deep
through the staple-holes and crook
ed, brings the load down to the
power Of the OK.
By bringing the load down to the
middle Of the neck, which is done
by crooked yoke, the yoke firmly
rests on the heaviest part Of the
neck, and as the OK straightens his
legs in moving, the incalculable
power Of the strong muscles of the
middle part of the shoulders and
the lower part of the chest are
directly applied to the yoke, and
the load moves. In the use Of the
crooked yoke the fulcrum is brought
near the weight, and in the use ot
the straight yoke the fulsrum is re.
moved farther from the weight.
As regards the bows worked on
oxen, I have known them so tight
on the upper portion of the neck
as to inAict injuries on the ear and
neck in the act of backing Or hold
ing a load down hill Let your
bow holes be eight and a hall
inches. ~a-

How TO PLANT 4 TREE.-When

HOW TO tLANT 4 lREE.-N ueu
planting don't dig hole like a
bowl cistcrn, but dig it just as deep
as the soil is, and no deeper; make
tac bottom Of it one-third larger
round than the top, and loosen up
the very bct:om. Then, as the
tree is planted, throw in just an
inch Of real good, fresh, rich soil;
set the tree, holding it with one hand
while on your knees you spread its
roots carefully with the other; let
the assistant drop the dirt in upon
tie roots as he would if he had a
sieve, and,as it is dropped in,do you
who hold the tree upon your bended
knees, work every root carefully
out straight on a level line with the
point or junction Of it with the main
stems, use the fingers outspread IN
mingling the fine dirt with the
roots, and be careful that not an air
space is left at the bottom, and also
that the earth upon the lower roots
is packed the hardest or tightest Of
any.
AS you reach the upper roots
only see that each root is surely
surrounded with earth, and then let
the last four inches Of earth be
sprinkled on with spade or shovel,
without pressure Of foot Or any thing
else, don't even fat it with the
shovel, and be sure to keep your
own and Paddy's feet off, for every
pressure will destroy the natural
position of the root below.

DoS'T ALLOW THE VEGETABLE
GARDEN TO "Go TO GRASS. -
We have repeatedly shown the gen
orally received opinion that 1t IS
useless to try to have a garden in
summer, in this climate, to be an
absurd mistake. We shall continue
to reiterate that all through the
hottest and dryest part Of the sea-
son, extraordinary droughts ex-
cepted,) we can easily have an
abundance of excellent and season.
able vegetables. Snap Beans, Lima
or Sieva Beans, Okra, ''Roastlng
ears" Guinea Squash, Tomatoes,
Carrots, Bects, Squashes, Cucum-
bers, Melons and so on, need sell
dom or never fail. But the soil
must be deep and thoroughly bro
ken up. Two feet in depth is not
too much, and nothing less than a
foot and half should be consider
ed admissible in a garden. No
crude, unfermented manures should
be used at this season. Good
composts, made up largely Of thor
oughly decomposed vegetable mat
ter, may be applied as needed, add
ing top dressings Of wood-ashes,
PLASTER and salt, the latter being
useful as absorbents Of moisture as
we'll as in their strictly manurial
capacity.-Rural Carolinian for
