erage western lands, which are not equal
to Kansas separately? Labor is cheaper
here, and corn sold as such, or when turned
to account in feeding stock, yields more
clear money than it does in the West.
Storms and destructive winds are not as
frequent, nor as damaging here as there.
There are advantages and associations
which cannot be transferred So that,
fter all, the same efforts voluntarily made
here, and absolutely required there, to in
sure success, would accomplish results
equally satisfactory; and then these re-
suits, in regard to one staple, are secured
in more congenial climate and in land
far superior in invitations to Efforts in
mixed industries.
Under the principles of farming laid
down by Peter Henderson in "Ten Acres
Enough, p and in carrying out his theory are
revealed some wonderful facts in the cultiva-
ton and yield of corn. Why should an Au-
gusta farmer on Middle or South river, or
on any other of our,, frst-class lands, desiring
z, 900 bushels of corn, work and toll over forty
or more acres to secure the same, when it
can and has been accomplished on tent
And then, by way of parenthisis, why
should he be content with from twenty to
thirty bushels of wheat, when, under the
same system, he can have more than double
that amount per acre?
| This article has already exceeded the
space intended, but we are unwilling to
close without word Of application to oul
own section of Virginia. There is no fair
er land than our own in just apprecia
ton of advantages and disadvantages il
tilling the soil. In our little valleys along
our rolling hills, on the mountain sides
every breath Of air we inhale is bouyant
with health and invigorating life. Where
else are to be found such grand plateau
and elevated table-l2nds, and where else il
man reared superior in the elegances of hi
nature, or woman in all that adorns he
sphere?
The best writers on economic industry
in its application to the system OF pralri
farming, have demonstrated that it is {
mistake and cannot stand the test of time
The natural fertility of western lands lead
to dissipation in their use, and dissipation
in any form leads to rashness and fatal er
rors. Considering all the inducements
held out yet we would not have our young
men change from the old to the new land
Suppose the blooming life and strong ener
gies which Augusta county contributes t.
western countries were concentrated her
for ten years, how different would be tn
result Efforts made here, as they are alb
solutely required there, would accomplish
las much If the home land is not nov
equal to desires, concentration Of effor
will soon render it overlooking in every OPP
portunity for gratifying honorable ambition
and useful aspiration.

TO CURE o. NOT TO CURE.-Tbat is

complaints; that they purify the blood,
strengthen the nervous system. quicken the

These BITTERS have now borne the test of

INDUSTRY NOT RUINED, BUT REVIVED
The Low Moor furnace in Allegheny coun-
ty, one of the largest in this country, which
had been out of blast for three months Tor
repairs, was again put in blast on the 10th
inst, daughter of Mr.. skelding, the
manager, applying the torch to re-kindle
the fires.
A Pittsburg paper which supported
Blaine admits that business in that city is
reviving, and that the iron industry there
is once more active. Yet Blaine and his
organs tried to impress upon the public
that iron mills would "shut down" in the
event of Cleveland's election.
These statements, like most others made
by the Republicans during the campaign
for electioneering purposes, have been
proven to be false by the result OF the
election. If their statements had beer
true, the country would now be going te
ruin instead of entering, as it is, upon
career of increased prosperity.
