WHERE DID T II / MONEY COT
WEsrOy, Dec %, lisa

wEsTOS, Dec IS, 1874.
j. W. WOFFlSDlN,
Stu: In my Judgment, ono Of the
wiscst measures ever adopted by the
Democracy since it came iuto power,
was the law requiring the old school
officers, 10 make a settlement with per.
sons appointed for tho purpose, Of their
financial business during their terra Of
Office That this law was cmiucntly
just aud proper, has been proven be.
yond doubt. Thousands Of dollars
have been added 10 tho school fund OF
tho State; guilty officials have been
made to lisgOFgc, and honest men
have only added to their reputation By
afresh exhibition Of correct nccounts.
In thinking over this matter, | de-.
tirc TO call the attention of the people,
and through them their representatives,
10 the immense amount Of money col.
lected from the people daring and
fincC tho war for bounty to soldiers.
In Lewis county We weic taxed hcayi-
ly for this purpose. Would It DO un-
lair 10 call for a public exhibition Of
the accounts Of tho officers who dis.
bursed this money! 1t is my humble
opinion that 10 many counties Of this
State, revelations would DO made which
would not only cause q good dcul Of
tquitmiug, but would BIO tic means Of
rcfunding to the people many thous.
ands Of dollars that had never been up.
pliedto tue purposes for which It was
appropriated.
Suppose that committee Of three
should DO appointed in each county to
examine tue accounts OF the iisbursing
officers in relation to this bounty mon
cy, with power to send for persons and
papers. Tho expense would be slight
aud tho rendering TO Cesar that
which is Cmsar's," would pay the OK.
penscs and thousands Of dollars moro.
What say you, Mr.. Bennett and
Mr.. Chidestci? CITIZEN.

Senatorial.

We have seen communication in
The D1etling Register, says the Morgan
Mercury, strongly urging tic claims of
Hon. G. y. Camden for United States
Senator. If the western part Of the
State is to have the Senator, NO know
ofno Que better qualified by experience
ind utility for tue position. He is n
clear thinker, fotciGlc dobatcr, aud in-
dcfatigablc worker, and has thorough
Knowledge Of the diversified wants Of
our young State. In urging tho
claims Of bis constituents, he is tena-
cioas aud parSrveripg. aud knows no
such word as fail. With tho Judge 10
tho Councils of the Nation, Wc,t Viz.
gina will take rank among the first 10
the Union. We have nothing to say
against any ono of,hc many popular
candidates in tho field: Many ofihcm
We do no. know. But as to any hay.
ing "claims," we deny it cmphatically.
The Legislature will have the election
ola servant, aud Il should select one
who will well and faithfully perform

Hints to Wheat Growers.

The following extract has many useful
suggestions in regard to the treatment Of
the wheat crop: Let it be fully ripe be-
fore cutting; follow Immediately behind
the reaper, bind and tie. and pu: in well
arranged compact shocks OF from twelve
:o.fourreen bundles, and let it be we'll and
strongly capped. In tolerably fair wealth
er, in about fourteen or fifteen days it
will be ready for the thresher and clean
er. Let it be well dried before delivering
to the miller it is far better both for him
and the farmers. A mere han able busbel
OF wheat, well cleaned and dried. weighs
sixty pounds. Wheat should never b.
allowed to remain on the ground any
length Of time after cutting, especially II
the sun is shining bright and warm. All
moisture is soon driven from the wheat.
and All immediate: absorption of noxious
and deleterious gases and ,apors from the
tsrth begins, and there is no::process OF
eradication. A few hours delay may
ruin or faint ones whole crop. The tar
mer should always avoid this error. iii
is desired to.tkeep or 3garner the; wheat
any length Of time, common salt should
be fretlyiuscd. putting it at the bottom OF
the bin tr garner. and erriGkling it alongl
at intervals from bottom to top. Nkeeps)
the grain sound and dry, and is sure
remedy against'the bugsor wccvil.

Farm & Grange.
Yes, Farming Pays.
T From the Berkville Sentinel. !

CIOuI luC
We have just been presented with very
Prolific bunch OF wheat by substantial
farmer of this county. who picked it out
NJ Mr.. John Thursfield's beautiful wheat
field this morning, while en- route TO Burk.
vile. 1t constitutes seventeen separate
heads, the products OF one grain sown,
each head averaging from fifty-five to
sixty grains Of superior quality. Our
informant says that Mr.. Thursfield sowed
eighteen. bushels Of wheat on eighteen
acres; the general average per acre will C.
from twenty-five to thirty bushels and
an the clover lay not less than forty bu-
.he.s 10 the acre. Mr.. Thursfield is an
enterprising Englishmsn, ard although
not reared farmer, purchased this farm
about Ave years ago, three miles east @:
Bcrkyile, and clearly shows the effect..oi
skillful husbandry on tract OF lant
deemed at the time OF its purchase one OF
the poore ST in the county of NOttoway.
This ought to forcibly impress the young
men flocking to cities and towns in search
OF employment, that farming is the mrs
profitable, independent and honorable
occupation, and to
ely from the city, nothing there cat
charm,
s 9 virtue, strength and wisdom on a

Thorou9hbrsd and Full Blood.

Thorou4hbred and Full Blood.
The editor OF the Buffalo Live Stock
Journal, in reply to correspondent who
wishes to know II the terms fail-blood
and thoroughbred mean the same thing,
says:
Our correspondent Is quite correct 10
|suppos;ng that these terms mean the
same thing. This is the meaning given
them by Webster, and the National Short
horn Breeders Convention defined ''pure-
bred, full-bIood, thoroughbrcd' as syn
onyms referring to animals Of distinct
and we'll -defned breed, without any ad-
mixture Of other blood.
Cross Breed--Animals produced by
breeding together different breeds.
Grade--The prodrct Of a cross between
a pure-bred and . ''native.'
High Grade--Animals OF mixed blood,
in which the blood VI pure breed large
ly predomjnates.
This is short statement Of the whole
matter. These definitions were given be-
cause of the vicious practice having grown
M among some Short.horn breeders OF
calling grades '.full- bloods,'' and thus
the inexperienced. There
never was any foundation for distinc-
ton between the terms "full-bloOd" and
Sc thoroughbred,'' and the use of full
blood to mean only grade was produc-
tive of misunderstanding and deception.
It is not so used now among the best
breeders.

Salt Your Hay.

If our hay makers will take little more
pains with their hay and cure 1t better,
they would realize from 20 to 25 per cent.
more in price than they do in the &C neral
average. II hay makers will cut their hay
and throw II into larger heaps than usual
at the evening of the first day it is cut
down, mineling . good sprinkling of salt
through each heap, and on the second
day double these heaps, they would find
their hay cured we'll, with bright fresh
green look.
Hay cured thus will be ready to 20 into
stack or bale on the third day, and ii q
little more salt IS thrown into each bale,
so much the better. When thus cured
and baled, this hay can b.. left on the field
in large, double or quadruple rows, piled
high, and it will be sweet and bring the
highest price whenever taken to market.
