Landed ValaatioBB 1b Kentucky.
UepJ. Watts Kearney recently de
livered a loner address before the Me
chanic's and Manufacturers' Exchange
at Louisville, of great ability and
search. As showing the fluctuations in
landed valuations in the various coun
ties, we condense from the address the
subjoined valuable Etatistics, which will
be of interest to all of our readers:
The average assessed valuation per
acre of lands in the State has steadily
declined Trom 811 22 per acre in lobU
to $9 41 in 1873, a decrease of 16 per
cent. In seventy-seven counties the
valuation of lands is found to be lower
in 1873-than it was in 1860.
Lands in Fayette county fell from
S47 02 to 544 78.
Lands in Bourbon county fell from
S47 6UtoS44b2.
Lands in Woodford county fell from
S47o2to33b 49,
Lands in Jessamine county fell from
$35 60 to $24 70.
Lands in Madison county fell from
S23 73 to JJ19 12.
Lands in Mason county fell from
$36 01 to $33 35.
Lands in Harrison county fell from
$22 11 to 20 80.
Lands in Boone county fell from
S30 11 to 920 31.
Lands in Grayson county fell from
S3 VU to $i do.
Lands in Logan county fell from
812 74 to $8 10.
Lands in Christian county fell from
514 i t to a 30.
In these eleven counties the decrease
will average seventeen per cent; yet
in the counties, severally adjoining
them, ot .Bracken, irendleton, VYarron
Muhlenburg, Edmonson, Brecken-
ridgc, Estill there was an increase du
ring the same period of twenty-one
per cent. The fluctuations in some
counties, between the years 1860 and
1873, are curious to note. Taking
the years lfiou, 180b, 1870, 1873, wi
find that severally, in this order of
years, these fluctuations were: In
Christian county, $14 19, $8 32, $9 17.
$8 35; in Henderson county, $14 21,
817 65, $12 03, $11 55; in Jessamine
county, $35 69, $26 89. $29 18,$24 70.
Taking again the years 1860, 1865
1871, 1873, we find the several varia
tions to be: In Bourbon countv. $47 60
$39 82, $47 37, $44 65; in Woodford
countv, $43 63, $31 80, $35 90, $36 40
in Warren county, $13 42, $827,
814 48, 814 00.
The rise and fall of the assessed vol
ne of hinds in the counties that adjoin
r-ich other present many strance fact
aivl hhow the necessity of some change
in our nvsde of valuation. Instances
abound all through the State. But to
begin with the counties of Franklin
r.nd Anderson. The former marked
in 1873 nn increase of six iercent.
the valuation of lands f-ince the year
lW, m the latter there was a dc
rrcajc of twenty-two per cent, within
the fame period. In Unickcn countv
t!f incrta-c wa feity'pcr cent., and iu
the. ncighlxiring county of Mason a de
crease of eigln per cent. In Carter
county the increase was seventy-two
per cent, against a decrease in Kowan
county of forty-seven per cent In
Edmonson county an increase of sev
enteen per cent, against a decrease of
fifty-eight per cent in Grayson county;
nd in Estill county an increase of fifty-
two per cent against a decrease ofsev
en teen per cent in Madison county.
With respect to other counties which
adjoin, and arc about on a par in point
of wealth, population, soil, and market
facilities, the rise and fall are observed
to alternate. In 1874 the lands of
Fulton and Hickman counties were as
sessed at the same price; in 1872 we find
those of J? ulton county in the ascendant,
and in 1873 those of Hickman county.
We may note asimilarreciprocity m the
counties of Washington and Nelson, the
firmer being behind its neighbor in 18"
uu, aneaa m toil, ana oenina acam in
1873. Oldham county in 1870 led
lenry county in the valuation of lands;
the next year this condition was re-
ersed; while in lb to Uldham led
Henry again. The same story is re
peated between Pendleton county and
Grant county, and also with Hop
kins, Ohio and Muhlenburg counties
As to the three last mentioned the lands
of Hopkins county in 1860 were val
ued higher than those of either of the
other two; in 1872 those of Ohio county
were the highest of the three, and in
183 those-of Muhlenburtr county.
As will be seen, the lands ot the
Green Biver region have sustained a
ess depreciation in actual value than
have the most noted localities of the
justly famed Blue Grass section.
Spring Pigs.
There is no stock on the farm more
inclined to roam than pigs when a few
weeks old, and to do which they will
find the smallest crevice in the fence
through which to creep, bent on mis
chief, whether it be in the field, front
yard, or garden, thereby occasioning
much trouble, vexation, ana oi times
considerable damage to the premises
Many farmers, thinking their pigs will
gam something in the way ot lood ana
hardiness, suffer them to roam where-
ever they pleaie; ana it they were
breeding them for racers, and desired
them to have muscle and toughness,
probably such course would be best
But if sleek, plump, and contented
porkers be the object, closer confine
ment is certainly far better. Until i
Eig is nearly or quite three months oia
e will improve much faster by being
restricted to a comfortable pen and
yard we ,say comfortable, because
that condition is certainly more con
ducive to his thrift than tiring himself
by roaming over the form in search of
lood, especially when his enclosure is
well sheltered, dry,- and not too con
fining.
We venture to say- that a litter ot
nigs thus confined will weigh one quar
ter more at three months old than if they
were allowed to run out, although in
both cases the same amount of food be
given them, and certainly their dispo
sitions will have become much more
quiet, which is a most important con
sideration as regards their fattening
1 A . . 1
qualities, .at mis point, or wnen
weaned, they should have, in aaaition
to an abundance of other lood, a clover
lot to run in, in order to keep their di
gestive organs in proper condition, and
after harvest, should be allowed to run
on the stubble fields.
indeed it is far better to keep a pig
pro win tr from the time it is forwarded
until it is put up for fattening, and if
this course is pursued, 'there is no dif
ficulty in making a spring pig weigh
two hundred pounds the same fall. Jtfut
a hog put up to fatten when at the
point of starvation will not only require
a long time and more feed to fatten,
but when he becomes so his tat will be
found laid on superficially, and not
equally distributed much ot it going
into lard instead ot pork.
Meet Ibr CoaMBltatleB.
The organization of Grangers has
made it possible for farmers to meet of
ten for the discussion of questions of
great interest to them, such, lor in
stance, as better systems of culture
among those who are disposed to farm
tor proht it armers should meet, as
well as merchants and manufacturers,
for consultation and an interchange of
views, and to compare their varied ex
penenccs. .tacts can be elicited in
this way, and thus they may be made
instrumental in promoting progress.
The contest of mind with mind makes
us think. Nothing sharpens up a man's
perceptive and reflective features like
an array of facts bearing upon subject
in which he has a pecuniary interest
It is, indeed, a sad condition of affairs
when the representatives of any call
ing come to believe that there is noth
ing more to be learned in regard to
their business. Discussions, to be in
teresting, ought to be upon subjects of
immediate interest r or instance, the
first meeting in ieuruary should have
been devoted to the subject of grasses
what kinds are best adapted to the
neighborhood, and what new varieties
snouia De tested, it would have re
sulted in a great saving to many Gran
ges if the Secretaries had been request
ed to correspond with other Granges in
and have obtained the cost prices of
clover and grass Eceds, so that they
could have been ordered direct from
Granges that had a surplus. Rural
noTia.
Attention is called to the manner of
signing ordeis to the State Grange. In
manv instances the Secretary and Mas
ter both sign, and sometimes as many
oa three names are signed to the order.
To avoid confusion on the books of the
agency, but one name should be sign
to the order. The signature of either
secretary, .Master or persons ordering
will be sufficient Sometimes letters
are received without post-office address,
and sometimes without any name
signed. The writers will wonder why
their letters are. not answered..

well tor. us to consider, not only our
duty to each other, but to those-without
the dates? As a common brotherhood,
our aims are. for the elcvatiou of the
Farmer, and amelioration of the con
dition of the Laboring Classes. To ac
complish this, every prother and sister
should feel in duty bound to contribute
something to the common stock of
knowledge. None of us have a scien
tific education, and, to remedy this,
we should each one experiment on the
cultivation of all kinds of valuable
plants, and report our observations to
the Orange, so that we can arrive at
the beat manner of cultivation. We
should also study more closely the
nature of our soils; for there is not a
plow-boy fifteen years old, but who
knows that there is in nearly every
twenty acre field as many different
kinds of soil as there are members in :
common family, all differing slightly,
some very productive, while others are
barely yielding seed. Wc all see the
difference, but none of us know cxnctly

for experiment Some soils produce
finely after an application of our ordi
nary fertilizers, while upon others it
has but little effect We should look
into this matter, and remedy these
differences, and in return we will have
the double satisfaction of knowing that
we have gained valuable .knowledge,
and also increased our income. We
should not spurn information, however
humble they may be who communicate
it, nor witholdit, thinking to overreach
our less lnlormed neighbor.,
we must taKc a broad and compre
hensivo view of our surroundings, and
look well into every plan proposed for
our interest, whether it will be a 'per
manent benefit, or of transient duration,
leaving us in . a worse condition than be
fore. It would be well for us to con
sider the thousand and one grievances
ot which we are so ready to complain,
and asK ourselves the rational ques
tions Who is to blame foi all these
grievances, real and imaginary? Have
we not been partially at fault, or have
we done our-whole duty? If we meet
these questions Bouarelv. I am nur-
suaded that we will be found to plead
guilty, and admit that they are
partially owing to our gross ncgh
gence and woful ignorance.. It
is a noteworthy fact, that, as a gen
eral rule, we do not take enough in-
. i" 11" nri i . ,. l
icresim puuiic onairs, leaving tne Hon
ors and responsibilities to others.
Uut right here, let us put down the
brakes.
In our efforts at reform, let's be slow
to make haste, and not all. turn politi
clans, merchants manufacturers. &c.
but keep on in the even tenor of our
way, not forgetting that those without
the Gate have rights as well as we, that
thev are useful members of Bneiptv
andf keep in mind that all men in n
legitimate business have a right to so
licit patronage.
It is an evident fact, to any unbiased
mind, that it is not to the interest, or
the design, of the Grange movement to
monopolize the mercantile or manufac
turing business, nor any of the other
callings and professions of men. For
it is as evident as any problem in cause
and effect, that if this was the case, it
would drive the merchant from his
counter,the machinist from his lathe,
the manufacturer from his leoin and
forge, the lawyer from his brief.
the minister from his pulpit, and this
whole army would return to the farm,
and the whole machine would run
backwards. The farmer would be
found behind the counter, in the ma
chine shop and factor', while the other
protessions would be found on the farm

such a course" would end in' misery and
ruin, ii nut ui civil war.
But the great obiect of the Order: as
declared by the National Grange, is to
bring the producer and consumer in
closer relationship, an end greatly to
be desired by all.
Now, brethren, instead of boasting
to those whose business renders them
ineligible to become members of our
Urder, that we are gome to take their
business from them and give it to the
farmers, let us try to utilize their capi
tal and experience, so as to make it
profitable to both parties.
And in conclusion, let us all labor to
correct whatever evils may exist among
us, remembering that "An honest man

To Prorect Furs From Moras,
The common practice is to put away
p. i.t ii I
iuis in Eumeuiiug peneuujr ugut,.uuu
to put into the fur all sorts ot strong-
scented articles, such as camphor gum,
tobacco, cedar, and even some using
turpentine. All these have the enect
to dry up and injure the fur, and is
not the least protection from moths, as
the furs are put into perfectly tight
packages that no moth nor miller could
enter.. Ladies are surprised upon ta
king out their furs in the fall to find
that they are injured by the moths al
ter all this care, lhe simple answer
is that the embryo moth was in the
furs when they were put away. The
deposit of the miller is so small that it
is not noticed, and the worm grows
very rapidly and does the mischief, the
camphor and cedar having no effect on
it The moth miller has access to the
furs before they are put away, and
while it dislikes the smell of camphor
and cedar, this is not applied to the
fur until the miller has had access to
it
Furs should be thoroughly whipped
with a small, smooth, round stick to
get out all dust and the small deposit
of the miller before putting away, and
then put into something that is so tight
that a very small miller cannot crawl
into. A linen pillow-case is a good
thing to slip the box into. As it is
possible that the furs may not have
been whipped perfectly clean when put
away, it is aesiruuie io uikc luem uui,
say iu June, and whip them again,
when, if there are only moths in them.
they will be in the form of worms, and
may be easily whipped out.
Never hang furs out to air, but put
them back in the boxes as soon as they
are whipped. If in whipping furs the
fur is found to be loose, it is evident
that there are moths in them, and they
should be whipped until the fur will
not fly. HottKhM.

Jvery subseiher for 1S7S will receive a beta

dog, whose, picture ia a. former issue attracted so--
muen attention.
"Man's VntdfithFtiaki'
will be weketae to- every Inome. Evevrbedr"
loves such a dog, and the portrait is exeoete
so true to ine me, mat it seems tne veritable
presence of the animal itself. The Rev. T. Der
Witt Talmage tells that Ms own Newfoundland
dog (the finest in Brooklyn) barks at it. Al-
tbougb so natural, no one who sees tmt pre

being bitten.
