country. He saw about three dollars worth

that it was not imported from Colorado, or
elsewhere There is no valuable timber in the

FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER Is, 1874.

FARMING. it be true, says the hlchlnohu
Whiu. that agricultural products in this State
have diminished each year since the war; ano
are still diminishing, and that what is produc-
Cd could be bought for less than 1t costs to raise
il. il is manifest that something must De done.
The proposition, iftrue, argues, that the labor
is fatally defective, or that there must be
change in the articles produced, or that both
labor and the staples must be amended or al
tered. And it adds: IA total change cannot
be wrought at once. We mus: continue to pro-
duce our old crops, and always enough Tor our
OWE consumption; but gradually diversity and
,nultiply our productions, and introduce new
one whenever it promises to be profitable. ,
The Wing then suggests that in all the coun-
try east of the Blue Ridge, sheep husbandry
in connection with black-eye peas might go far
to revive our waning productions, and improve
our exhausted soils. Some of the advantages
of sheep are, that they are cheap, and are
therefore within reach Of our limited capital
they are prolific, and will rapidly augment
They supply food and clothirg-two OF the
prime wants of society, ever 10 demand. Ihey
will live on less aud thrive tolerably gu less than
any other animal, and show good keeping quick
er and at less COST And in addition, they will
require less labor than any other crop--a very
important item 10 our present condition. In
England the turnip is the great crop tor feed
ing sheep, and the two together have within
the last sixty years wrought revolution IN
English farming. But in our dry summers
the turnip as crop could not be relied 90; be-
sides, it requires rich soil, deep and thorough
ly cultivated, which implies much labor. The
pea, on the contrary, rather relishes dry wealth
er, and does we'll on poor soils or good ones.
1t is far more nutritious than the turnip, and
sheep love its every part-beans, hull and vne
which they devour with avidity. A portion
of the land 10 peas might be grazed green, by
which it would be enriched and prepared to
produce good crop of wheat, without guano.
The remainder might be moved as hay and
stored away for winter use.

The approach Of an election has wonderful
effect upon the cost Of public works in Phila-
delphia. The Water Department in that city
is building new reservoir. IL May last the
newspapers reported, on the authority of the
engineers, that it was then neadly completed,
and that only certain amount of work re-
manned to be done, which, at contract prices
would cost less than 100000, while about
100000 Of the original appropriation of 81
5000 was unexpended. Since that time.
however. matters have changed, and an election
approaches, and now the Chief Engineer ofthe
Water Department goes to the Councils and
asks for further appropriation Of the modest
sum of 1906, 900, in order to finish the reser-
voir that was SO nearly completed four months
ago.

A young man named Murdoch was found
guilty 10 the Criminal Court of Washington,
yesterday, of sending threatening letters, with
the object to black mail Fernando Wood, Of
New York, last June. Murdoch had an &C
complete, woman, who visited MIR. Wood at
his residence, pretending to be soliciting that
gentlemans influence to procure an Office, but
really with the object of working up ground
for black mailing operation. The two made
charges of improper conduct on the part of
Mr. Wood towards the woman, and demanded
fifty thousand dollars as the price Of their 81
lence. The Congressman, however, resented
the insult, and promptly had Murdoch arrested,
and he is likely to be made such an example Of
as will detcr other and disreputable characters
from plying their vocation in that quarter.
