Special dispatch to the New York Times.

WASHINGTON, Jan 3l.-The Select
Committee to inquire into the condi-
ton of affairs in Arkansas, have agreed
upon their reports, which will be sub
mitted to the House in the course OF
two or three days, if not tomorrow
The committee consists of Messrs. Po-
land, of Vermont; Ward, Of Illinois !;
Sayler, of Ohio; SlOss, of Alabama,
and Scudder, of New York. The re-
port of the majority will be signed by
all the members of the committee, ex-
cept Mr.. Ward, and will not recon-
mend any Federal interference to over
throw the Garland Government. Mr.
Wards minority report will hold that
the Garland Government is the product
OF revolution, and is not the legal Gov
eminent of the State.
The majority of the committee will
admit the Irregularities and frauds by
which the Garland Government was
placed in power, but they do not find
any authority for the Federal Govern
ment TO Overturn Constitution, and a
Government authorized by it, which
was evidently adopted by very large
majority of the voters of the State.
even though the actual methods pre-
scribed by the former Constitution
were not followed in the adoption o.
the new. This report will doubtless
settle the policy of Congress toward
Arkansas, though it will be a policy
not agreeable to the Senators from that
State.

UNLUCKY, MURPREEsBORO'.


Three Rtres and LOSS OF eI2o, 900
From the Nashville Banner Of the
I'd, we clip as follows concerning three
disastrous fires in Murfreesboro':
About o'clock Saturday morning
the pork-packing establishment of Nc
Gaughey q Co., together with SOS, 900
worth of bacon and lard, were totally
destroyed by fire. The total loss sus-
tanned was $50, 900; insurance, $50, 900.
The origin OF the fire is unknown.
Early Sunday morning the jewelry
store of A. o. II. Z. Sehon was discOv-
cred in flames. It was supposed to
have been robbed and then set on fire.
Everything was destroyed. Insurance
$1,000. From it the postoffice caught
fire, and was entirely consumed. The
fixtures aud letters, with all the books,
papers, etc, were saved. The vacant
house, lately Osborne's confectionery,
was entirely consumed. Next, Wen
delPs drug store, then Roulet's book
store and Osborne's book store, togeth-
er with the Netcs Office, were consum-
ed, some goods and printing materials
being saved, but In damaged condi-
ton. w. G.. Eagleton Il Bros dry
all in the street. Also Mrs. January's
millinery establishment, with Giles
photograph gallery, were both badly
injured by water, and the goods were
also damaged by removal.
Capt. Stockell was telegraphed for
an engine, but on it's reaching Laver>
que counter dispatch was received,
saying they had the fire under con-
troll, and its services would not there
fore be required. So it was returned.
At 10 O'Clock Sunday night fire was
discovered issuing from the store
house of Eagleton &c Brother. Hence
1t spread to Rankin's clothing store
and on to Reeds hardware and Mel
sons drug stores. Stocks were badly
damaged. They were partly insured.
The total number of buildings de-
stroyed was eleven. Three others
were badly damaged. Eight of the
buildings laid in ashes belonged to Z.
l.. Jordan & Sons. They were insur-
ed for about $30,OO0. The total esti-
ma'ed loss is $l25 600; insured for
$75, 900.
The court house was at one time
threatened with destruction.
The burning debris ignited the
building adjoining it Sunday night,
and that was the occasion of the de-
struction of the additional buildings.
All the buildings, save two or three,
were two-story brick houses.

Care of Young stock.

Some farmers have advanced the Opin-
ion, and even practiced upon it, that to
have hardy stock they must be exposed to
the weather and stinted in food while
young or, in other words, that calf or
colt we'll fed and cared for will naturally
b. tender, and must be so fed through life
20 be kept in good condition. This is not
80. in the first instance, for stock half kept
while young can never recover from the
injury thus received, and no after care in
feeding can make as good an animal as
would have been produced by proper
treatment in early life. To keep stock
proftably, they should always be kept in
thriving condition, receiving extra atten-
ton while young and growing, especially
during the winter and spring. Good
shelter and plenty to eat and drink are
particularly necessary at this season OF
the year to all colts and calves which we
desire 10 become valuable horses and cat
tie hereafter Wool GrotOer.

Winter Planting in the sou,h.

Many hardy plants, like wheat, oats,
barley, clover, the European grasses, cab
bage and turnips, will grow more or less
in February, as well az March, If they
have every advantage which our climate
allows. Early sOwn oats, clover and
grass seed uniformly do best in our ex-
perience, and generally the earlier the
better, provided the ground Is in good
order. There are many pros and cons in
winter and spring blowing and delaying
for the soil to be dry enough to break up
fine and mellow. BY waiting too long
one may lose the best growing seasons OF
the whole year. Better pillow when the
ground il a little too wet than delay too
long. Surface drains will often carry OF
water and enable one to cultivate and
seed early in February or March, as the
weather may happen to be. Guard against
too much UNCOMFORTABLE Union ana

single tack near the center, and the work
is done in the most effective manner.

Every years experience more com
pletely demonstrates the wisdom OF u
varied agriculture The farmer who de-
ponds mainly upon one crop, although
that may be the most important one
grown, will find, every few years, that
the supply OF that product will exceed the
demand 50 much that il will fall in price
below the cost Of production and sale. We
use the latter term considerably, because
we are aware that the producer pays =
large commission for the sale of his pro
ducts. All the difference between the
price received by the farmer and that
paid by the consumer, after deducting the
legitimate cost OF handling, storage and
transportation, may be set down as cost
OF selling.
Take the important product, wheat.
We think that a large majority OF the
farmers, East as well as West, will agree
with us that the price this year is too low
to pay cost OF production. II may be said
that the price OF wheat is exceptionally
low this year, because the yield is good
all over the world. Yes, that is true the
breadth of wheat sown every year il 80
great that good crop, universally OF
generally, will 20 reduce the price that q
large share OF the growers must produce
il at a loss.
Take another product--applcs. In
years when the orchards Of the country
yield fair crop, the prices are too low tc
afford any profit to the producer, and q
farmer who depends mainly on his apple
crop for income will be likely to find that
his income falls considerably under hi,
expenditures in such years. We think
farmers suffer much less from a glut OF
apples than from an over production Of
any Of the leading cereals, because but
few have large proportion of their farms
in orchards.
Undoubtedly il is better for the world
that so great breadth should be sown in
breadstutfs, that small yield per acre
shall not result in scarcity, and cause suf-
fering or starvation, but the instinct OF
sclf-preservation should induce farmers to
so economic in farming that the failure
or the over-productiOn of any leading
crop shall not result disastrously to then
Interests.
The farmer upon 100 acres, who has q
few acres in wheat, a few in corn, 4 few
in oats, few in barley, and few in po-
tatoes and roots, and then has liberal
pasture and meadow. with four or five
acres in apples and as many more in
pears, peaches, plums, ounces and cher
ries, keeping half dozen COWS and per
haps twenty-five or forty long-wool grade
sheep, will be likely to come out better,
taking one year with another. than one
who devotes the larger number of his
acres to wheat, or some other leading
crop. Ii any one crop is failure, or sells
too low TO afford any profit, the Others
may yield profit enough TO prevent any
serious loss.-Americdn Rural Home.

The farmer lives in his own house. The
0se of the house, which he does not pay
FOR, Is as much part of his income as the
money which salaried man pays for
rent is of his, and should be counted as
such in an estimate of the profit Of the
farm. All things produced on the farm
and consumed on the farmers table, in
shding the vegetables from the garden,
