THIBEsF BANKING have been repeatedly
assured that farming don't pay, and the boys
believed the assertion and gone TO
clerking, or teaching, or trading-buslness
they cali it. But recently the books have been
opened-the books in which the accountsof all
the occupations are kept, and being footed
we see what really pays and what is unproit1l-
table. Bankers, supposed to be sort OF nooIl-
ity, have smashed many OF their clerks
have proved to be great rascals: railroad
obligations have gone to protest; factories
have stopped to hqudate, and crowds OF the
richest and grandest of mortals, shntding mil
lions Of dollars, often in day, have shrunk
down to be quite common. How is it with the
farmer? Has the panic touched him? Does ne
lie,awake. thinking Of the hard timesf Not
much. It is true that if he owes more than he
is able to pay, or if he has bought more land
than he can work, he is in trouble, and now
something must be sacrificed but this dilem-
ma was bound to appear, panic or no panic.
Most farmers are out of debt, or they owe so
little they can see their way clear, and the sun
rises and sets as aforetime the COWS give milk,
the butter comes, hens lay eggs, hogs fatten1,
and the country grist mill runs just as though
Jay Cookehad never smashed and his satellites
with him. The truth is farming is an institu-
ton founded on such q solid financial basis
that it can never break. The farm is not only
a bank, it is mint, making itss own money,
which is worth just as much for the use Of
mankind.as it was 1000 years ago, and as will
be worth 1000 years from to-day; and
although this money is not exactly the same as
greenbacks and specie, it is better, for it under
lies all others, and goes before them, and makes
all other things that are worth much under the
stars possible. And yet werhave been hearing
all along that this institution of the farm does
not pay. Let a man "travel this world all
over,',like Rosin the Bow; try every thing, be
eyery thing. he will come at last to see that
the surestthing is farm we'll stocked and
titled, andthat there is no warmer place Or
earth than by the farmers kitchen fire.

DRY YARDs.-How many barnyards there
are in which there is not a dry spot large enough
for the cattle to lie down upon, where the
mire and muck are so deep that the cattle sink
in over their hoofs! Swine, too, needs dry
place in their yard and warm shelter at
night. We have sometimes found them frozen
to death, they were 80 unprotected. The "tines
and costs" were more than the expense of re-
pairing would have been. Poultry, also require
warm quarters, and do not always get them.
Every time man shivers this winter, let him
ask himself whether his animals are having the
same experience.

THE CONFEDERATE FoRcEs.-In the No,
vember numbers of the Eclectic and the Land
We Love, 1869, an interesting and important
correspondence was published between DR..
Joseph Jones, Secretary of the Historical So
ciety, and General S. Cooper, ex-Adjutant Gen
eral of the Confederate States. From that
source we CLEAN the following facts for the ben
fit of those who are not so fortunate as to have
preserved file of the magazines. Such facts
are startling even to those who participated IN
the Southern struggle :, rsa.s-g',s.
1.-The available forces of the Confederate
army did not during the war exceed 100000
men. .--ss.s
2. The Confederate States never had in their
defence more than 2o0, 900 men in the field at
8. From 1861 to 1865 the Confederate forces
actively engaged we're only 100000.
f. The total number OF deaths during that
time were 200 .000., ~
5. Losses of prisoners counted as total losses
on account of the United States policy of ex-
change, 2O0,0 900, HnF
6. The loss of the Confederate States army
by discharge, disability and desertion amount
ed to 100000.
7. AT the close of the war the force of the
Confederate army was less than 100000.
8. Out of 100000 men 900 were lost to
the service.
These facts are taken from calculations made
withsgre care by Dr. Joseph Jones, submitted
to and approved by General S. Cooper, Adju-
tants General of the Confederate army.-Mobhc

A writer in the State Journal Of the 10th,
over the signature of s'Hard-worker," thinks
the Republicans should take no part, as an Or
ganization. in the approaching municipal cleo
ton. lie assigns as a reason, that as the Con-
servatives have the control of the election ma
chinery, there is no possibility OF fair count.
He instances that in the Presidential election
and for Congressman in 1872, when there were
Federal commissioners to see that there was
fair count, the Republicans carried the City by
2Ol, and in the following year, when every
thing was in the hands Of the Conservatives,
they lost the city by 1,6l4 votes. The writer
says that the Conservative managers boldly de-
clare that they intend to count their men in
any how, and that it is useless for the Republic
cans to spend money and time in canvassing
for regular Republican ticket. 1t is under
stood all over the State that the Conservatives
of Richmond have no scruples in this matter.
They commenced in 1868, by smashing ballot
boxes, in order to defeat Cahoon for Mayor
They succeeded, and afterwards boasted of it.
There certainly ought to be something done by
which a fair expression of the popular will
could be had It is a burlesque upon popular
suffrage to have the will Of the people defeated
| by fraud and force. Richmond is Republican,
and if fair count could be had, the result
would show it.

POTASH FOR PEACH TREES. According to
the statements of a Mr.. Shepard, at meeting
of the Cincinnati Horticultural Society, says
the Country Gentleman, potash is cheap and
excellent manure for peach trees. A barrel,
costing $35, lasted him four years for an orch
ard of twenty-five acres. He dissolved the
potash in water, making it Of a strength just
sufficient to float potato, .and then gave each
tree quarts of this liquid every spring. From
1000 peach trees treated thus he sold 1,5OO
in 1867, $50 do. in 1868, and last year dS71, we
suppose) 1,s00 bushels, and prospects still good
for satisfactory crops in the future. lie claims
to have sold $12, 900 worth of peaches from this
orchard in five wears. This would be an aver
age of 1.20 per tree for each year; a good yield
certainly. If potash in such small quantities
will produce such an effect, it must soon come
into general use.
