Cause Of Improbable Farming.

An Iowa correspondent of the Prairie
Farmer enumsrates the following causes OF
improbable farming. They contain val.
liable hints for farmers:
/. The enormous loss which many farm.
ers sustain from the neglected condition OF
manure piles.
2 From the cxposnre Of farm machia.
cry to the inclemency Of the weather.
8. From the loss which 10 sustained in
keeping more animals than the owner can
properly provide food and shelter for.
4. From raising scrubby and indifferent
animals when good ones could be raised At
the same cost and twice the profit.
S. Tilling more land than can be prop.
srly cultivated, thereby raising on two
acres tha. which might be more proffitably
raised on one.
6. Making speciali.ies Of certain crops
to the ultimate exhaustion Of the soil.
I. From Opposing of crops in the condi'
tion in which they are raised instead OF
converting them into beef. pork or mutton
8. In neglecting to properly attend to tbs
little details ofthe farm.
9. In not keeping strict account Of tbs
transactions Of the farm.
10. In not using proper judgment in dis
posing Of the produce Of the farm, and the
purchasing Of machinery and other neees
saries.
IL. Purchasing provisions which should
be raised at home.
IL. In not having mschinev enough to

WHAT WILL THE ENDBEi

We might as well look facts square
in the face, and prepare at once to
meet what cannot be avoided, as to
close our eyes to the inevitable, or at
tempt to screen ourselves behind the
sophisisms of demagogues.
The life currents Of industry seem
to be drying up. Those who few
years ago contracted to pay money,
find that it is constantly becoming
more difficult to meet their engage
ments.
The margins Of securities are con-
stantly melting away. and their con-
fscation by the creditor becomes only
Q question of time. All productive
enterprises are discouraged and stag
nant. Exchanges are sluggish; val
ues are being annihilated.
Millions of men are idle and star.

To The Public.

We have already commenced the third
year of the publication of The Press.
When we took charge of the paper we
promised to expose extravaganza and
corruption. We have done it without
regard to party or person and intend
to continue to do 30. THE PRESS has
saved for the tax payers of this coun-
ty over three thousand dollars in the
past two years, and will reduce the
expenditures double that amount if
the people of the county will lend us
their assistance. TEE PRESS has the
i'll will of every dishonest politician
and political plunder in the county
They have done every thing in theil
power to injure THl PRESS in order
that they might continue to rob the
people unmolested. We have to con
tend against the paid agents Of thil

He is not entitled to milage and all who
have paid it should sue for the over.
charged amount. Let them 60 to.
