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

that only a small edition of the pension

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

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

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.

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

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-

Uiystalited carbolic scid dissolved

In aome experiments a year ago it
was found that lands top dreeaed with

than where an equal quantity hed been

much heavier on tbe portions of tbe

While trees have their folisge is the
time for farmers to go through their
wood lots and msrk such as sre dead

The bare tup is readily distinguished at
this season, and if tbe trees to be cut

perhaps loss hereafter.
Ia a first-prize English farm of 250

The proportion of the best land in

gives the bitterest point to the com
plaints of English stock breeders of
American competition in cattle and

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.
