Dated this 14th day of Sept. 1883. Geo. Humph bet, Sheriff of Linn County, Tbe apprdaobittg publioaiion, as; I the Near York Sun, of a full lit of all hast persons to whom pensions are paid by the Government Is awaited with interest, since this catalogue, if properly prepared and distributed, ma; reveal tbe existence of a multitude of frauds. It will necessarily contain over 300,000 names, with the accompanying Poet Office addresses ; end local inves tigations me poeaibly detect hundreds or tbousauds of swindlers, involving, first end last, tbe stealing of millions from the Treesury. Unfortunately, Commieeio'nejr Dedley ie on record ae holding the beiiaf that tbe number and amount of fraudulent pensions have been enormously exag gerated, and that they form only a most insigni6cant fraction of tbe whole. It is impossible to hsve much confidence in tbe enziety of a department main- taining euob opinion! to prove its judg ment unsound hy ferreting out with great seal every esse around which a film of suspicion may rest. The matter would present itself in an entirely different lirfht were Mr. Dudley's pre deoeesor still in office. Tbe chief char aoteristios of Commissioner Bentley were tbe two alarms he constantly sounded, first as to the shameful ex travagance of Congress in its pension arrears legislation, and secondly as to tbe prevalence ef fradulent pensions, wbicb be pronounced to be enormous io amount, judging from the few cases he wsa able to unearth in the leek of means to trace out tbe whole system of swindling which be suspected. These notions coat Mr. Bentley his official poet ; and some of those who favoted tbe a pj .ointment of Mr. Dudley as bis euceeaaor, boasted thst these otlicisl comolaints of extra vasatica and fraud. would thereafter cease. in fact, one of the AS r lira t nuininna wttriliiitr.il t.i ilift new Commissioner was that tbe pension b contract and not a graluity-a e'e,iH' eed unlimited pension jobbery in thw future be sustsined. Mr. Dudley cammenced his ticsocial operations by asking Congress for tne unprecedented appropriation of $100, 000,000 for a single year, end for a large increase of clerical force, so se to facilitate tbe distribution of this enorm ous sua. But, ae Washington officials do not work twelve boors a day, with all tbe induatiy of bis extra clerks be could only get rid of sbout two-thirds of the appropristiuo. Another indica tidm of tbe new (fcrnmisaioner's policy was giten in his first repoit sbout the I I 1 a"a oi irawi. He called loudly on Congress to puimh frsoda not, however, the frsuds of those who hsve been (Jutting for years to plunder tbe Treasury by fictitious clsime and forged evidence, but tbe alleged outrages of a mysterious body of people, who, ss he discovered, for reasons best known to themselves, were preventing legitimate claimants from making their applica tions, by throating them with prosecu tion for swindling. It is well to recall these things, so that the people msy not be too much disappointed should tbe publtcstion o ,la inn liet tut e lau effieotivn soron I ' I cy in the detection aud punishment o was hofed when the di. cuasion ot this publicattoa came up in 1 . . ... i, . , VAiagrvea. iu ungiu wivu, iv to miu that only a small edition of the pension list will be published. It l v no a means clear, also, that the paaphlets wilt be carefully plsced where they will do the moat good. We cau easily conceive of an effective publication of the list either through locsl uewapspsre or by tbe posting up, in Post Offices or other conspicuous places, of tbe smsl portion of tbe list in which each parti cular locality is concerned. Hut we e e - e e a . can also conceive that tbe routine issue of a stout pamphlet, with the names massed indiscriminately, and without any effort to procure the light distribu tion and examination, might simply follow the road of tons of other public documents to the pulp mill. Exactly what tbe sctusl case will be with this new list can only be known by experi- ence ; but it is evident tnst, in oruer net to make the affair a mere sham, the j publication should be widespread, sod . , . . UtUUgUv IU UO uuviou vra j - j j vvj swaava township concerned, and then followed . ff effPta nf skilled de- UP h7 tne ea8er elTortB of BkI,,ea de i tectives. Tbe zest with which the Pension Office is goiag into this business msy be surmised from a recent ominous suggestion of tbe Aoting Commissioner that the list will be ohieflv of use to I ?, . , claim agents in giving them the addres- see of those whom they will urge to 1 apply for an increase of existing pen ie of ex agents, I ready a good I " about tbe list, snd the pensioners themselves generally push their .claims for all they are worth. If a few here and there have not yet received their dues, it is time that they should receive them. What the American people want to know, when they pay out fifty millions or a hundred millions In pen lens yearly, with tbe war ended eigh teen years ago, is bow many of these olsime are flatulent. Stilt, there is no probability thst this matter will be probed to the bottom white the preeeut Administration is in power. J eae .4 44.UI4 1 1 ri a 1 1 i raws The ed vantage ut a heavy olsy soil is that it ie not easily eshaneted. If cropped too severely nature interposes her protest by locking its fertility in olods until the land receives better treatment. In a wet season grain srops sre usually smaller than they sppeer, for the large stem which moist weather mskee is not so well filled as when the grain has ripened with less humidity of atmosphere. Americans sre the g res (est butter- eating people in tbe world. This is tbe reason why the export of butter doee not incraaee so rapidly as its msn- ufscture, and why the price is main tained so high as it is. Uiystalited carbolic scid dissolved and fed to bogs with bran slop is found by Nebrsska farmers a sure cure for the bog cholera. It baa been tried severs! yesrs and with uniform loccess. The pure article resembles camphor gum. In aome experiments a year ago it was found that lands top dreeaed with nisnure produced much better wheat than where an equal quantity hed been plowed under. Tbe clover catch is also much heavier on tbe portions of tbe field top dressed. Tbe selection of potatoes for seed should be msde in the field when dug. Stdect the fairest, smoothest potatoes, with good eyes ; put them in a cool s . a .a. a place, and on OO sccouut part wtlc them before planting time if you would insure a good crop next year. It is a quite common end very good iractice to cause food f i .tmels to be slightly soured before kding, to in crease its diktiit!nv. Y'J, that ensilaging green fuag dxa tb.a is reckoned ot. u th.i disadvautsgtt of' thst system by its ovr-vlous critics, The potato beetle bss made its sp- . mm . . I pea ranee in .Nova Scjtl, and tbe farmers who grow potato largely sre alsrmed. They probably need not fear this enemy greatly, as the Cool, motet climate of the British northeastern provinces will make bis i no ease slow. While trees have their folisge is the time for farmers to go through their wood lots and msrk such as sre dead at the top, for cutting next Winter. The bare tup is readily distinguished at this season, and if tbe trees to be cut are msrked, it will save iwrplexity and perhaps loss hereafter. Ia a first-prize English farm of 250 acres, 100 acres are io permsnent grass. The proportion of the best land in England under cultivation bss long been decreasing, snd K is this which gives the bitterest point to the com plaints of English stock breeders of American competition in cattle and drt-aaed beef. Keeping ben houses well provided with dry earth where the fowls csn T dust themselves dsily, snd scatter it over tho floor, is a good preventive of beu lice. But where they onoe get a f.xthold nothing is so good to extermi nate the pests as thorough cleanliness ami the liberal, and even lavish, use of kerosene oil in every crevice and on all woodwork. The complaints against Southern farmers for not growing more corn over look the fact that in their climate a surplus greater than is wsnted for two or three mouths is quite sure to be weevil eaten and worthless. Foreign criticism of the practices of farmers of any locality is apt to be bssed on par tial understanding of circumstsnoes which make it necessary. Seme varieties of squash are less liable to attacks of the squash bug than others. The Canada crookneck is of the exempt clasa. It is not so good a squash as the Hubbard, but may -be planted by farmeis who have tried in vsin for years to grow the latter. The Summer squashes sre also I-hh injured by this enemy, their rapid growth en abling it to overcome their attacks.

Tbe exports of dairy products frost New York, for weekending Aug. 25th, were 473,362 pounds of tutter and 3, 9Dft,00H pounds of cheese.
