Ho  far  as  the  Rcrai,  New-Vokkeb  Is  concerned. 
Its  Dairy  Kdltor  last  week  provwt  conclusively 
that  he  had  not  been  "Jealous”  of  TUr.  Arhoij), 
orlf  he h-ad,  that  ho  kept  such  “jealousy”  very 
secret,  noticing  and  commending  >lr.  A.  fre- 
guently  and  warmly,  urging  his  appointment  to 
prominent  positions  In  dairy  matters,  and  every 
way  dealing  by  him  fairly  and  honornbly.  The 
charge  that  Mr.  WiniAKn  was  jealous  of  Mr. 
Arnoi.1)  originated  with  the  latter  through  his 
organ  ore  v/jecA'^  b^ftire  the  Rcbal  Xks'-Yorker 
made  im  expo-Hurc  of  the  Dairy  Ring.  If  th.at  ex¬ 
posure— simply  stating  the  facts— nas  “throwing 
mud,"  we  neeil  a  new  dellnltlon  Of  those  words. 
The  exposure  was  made  solely  from  public  mo¬

dlsphiy  a  lalluro.  Ue-sd  the  Remomstrance  of 
leading  Northweslem  Dairymen  for  proof. 
The  truth  Is  that  Mr.  ARNOtn  has  long  been 
“Jealous”  of  Mr.  Wii.i.ARn,  and  has  been  making 
this  complaint  among  his  personal  friends  for 
some  time  past.  Duly  last  year  Mr.  Wjulard  was 
asked  by  the  .Secremry  of  t  he  M.  \V.  Dairy  Asso¬ 
ciation  to  recommend  him  lo  some  suitable  per¬ 
son  to  deliver  an  address,  and  he  named  Mr.  Ait- 
.NOi.D.  ,\ft.er  dellvcDiig  the  address,  Mr.  Arnoi-u 
complained  to  the  Hecrctary  that  Mr.  tNiu.Aan 
liad  Ignored  and  trteii  to  injure  him.  Of  cotu'se 
the  slander  was  refuted,  uud  Mr.  A.  was  Informed 
Uiat  It  was  on  Mr.  Wtu-ARu’s  recommendatJon 
that  he  had  been  invitod  lo  deliver  the  addres-s. 
In  the  absence  of  the  Dairy  Kdllor  Of  IheRCBAi, 
New-Yobkkk  we  make  this  explanation,  which 
throws  a  great  deal  oi  light  on  thlssidtject.  When 
a  man  Is  charged  with  “jetilotisy”  of  another  he 
may,  though  entirely  free  from  that  feeling,  had 
It  dimcult  to  prove  a  negative.  M r.  Wii.lard  has

PROGRESS  and  IMPROVEMENT 
A  NATIONAL  IL1.U8TRATBD 
TIic  Aiiicrien?!  liisiiraiiec  f'o.  of  CTiieaKO. — 
Long  before  the  time  of  the  great  Chicago  Are,  It 
became  apparent  that  though  a  company  taking 
large  risks  In  cities  could  do  a  profitable  business 
by  Insuring  farm  property  Jilso,  tfic  combin.ntlon 
was  not  beneficial  to  the  farmer.  This  impres¬ 
sion  was  greatly  strengthened  n  lien  the  min  of  so 
many  companies  by  that  and  other  great  flies 
compelled  the  farmers  to  pay  a  second,  and  In 
some  Instances  a  third,  time  for  the  same  in.snr- 
uiice,  and  iniighlthcni  thesaretyof  insuring  with 
companies  doing  a  farm  business  only.  'I'hls  did 
not  suit  the  companies  doing  a  mixed  business, 
and,  In  the  West  especially,  they  Lave  been  mak- 
Ing  war  upon  the  American  Insurance  Company 
of  Chicago,  because  It  was,  and  Is,  and  promises  lo 
continue,  one  of  the  leading  and  most  successful 
fannom’  companies.  The  charges  brouglit 
against  It  by  Its  busy  maligners  are  such  as  Im- 
|ioRe  upon  the  Ignorant  only.  The  American,  re¬ 
garded  aa  an  all  cash  compnnj-,  has.  ample  assets 
and  aslarge  asuridus  In  propori.lon  to  Its  liabili¬ 
ties  as  any  company.  Resides  this,  It  lias  a  cou¬ 
ple  of  millions  of  premium  notes,  which  are  flrst- 
clus.8  a.ssets  to  tall  hack  uiwn,  giving  it  a  larger 
amount  of  resources  In  proportion  to  its  liabilities 
than  any  of  the  compiiulcs  tluil  are  trying  to  pre¬ 
judice  ilie  public  against  It.  This  company  does 
business  u]kiii  all  the  improved  plans,  notably, 
the  Installment  plan,  by  wlitoh  It  Insures  for  a 
lonn  of  years,  but  collects  t  he  premiums  year  by 
year.  It  Insures  only  detached  property.  It  has 
always  done  a  safe  and  prosperous  business,  has 
the  fullest  confidence  of  its  patrons,  and  Is,  In 
every  respect,  a  company  to  be  relied  upon.

USE  THE  WHOLE  FARM, 
Fak-ming  must  be  conducted  on  buslni?s8  princi¬ 
ples  or  It  can  not  be  succeaslul.  The  tlrst  endeavor 
of  a  shrewd  business  man  Is  to  keep  all  Ids  cuplDil 
profitably  employed.  He  is  not  satlslled  to  iii.ike 
large  prullts  on  a  part  while  the  greater  portion  Is 
lying  Idle,  nor  will  ho  allow  lack  of  care  or  ciijiltal 
to  rob  him  of  pronts  which  ho  irdght  otherwise 
have  made.  'J'oo  many  farmers,  on  the  contrary, 
think  they  arc  doing  well  when  they  make  large 
prollLs  on  one  or  two  crops,  or  Delds,  though  oi  her 
par  la  of  ibelrfaim  may  not  be  paying  anything. 
Often  on  Hie  cultlvatA>d  parts  of  a  farm  the  resulis 
arc  satisfacl-ory  onough,  If  It  were  not  iJi.al.  these 
were  so  small  iis  not  to  pay  nece,a8ary  cxiicnscs  of 
conduetlug  it.  The  fanner  finds  himself  tis  badly 
oft  us  the  merchant  who  made  a  disastrous  tall- 
11  re  while  selling  all  ills  goods  at  one  hundred  per 
cent,  profit.  The  explanation  is,  that,  the  mer¬ 
chant  kept  a  peanut  stand  and  his  recclpi.s  were 
only  lltly  cents  a  day.  The  twenty-live  conte 
clear  prollt  did  not  pay  the  man's  board  and  lodg¬ 
ing,  and  he  was  bankrupted  by  iicrsonal  expenses. 
lAiokliig  at  the  subject  from  Uilsiwiliit  of  view, 
wi-  havelnntunerublu  agricultural  and  other  Jour- 
als  urging  farmei’S  to  reduco  tliclr  expenses— to 
ficonunilze  to  the  utmost  oxUuil  In  ilielr  homes, 
In  travel,  and  on  the  farm  itself.  A'hoy  seem  to 
forget  that  farmers  are  already  far  more  economi¬ 
cal  than  any  other  cUis.s,  and,  wHliout  any 
prompting,  have  denied  themselves  luxuries,  and 
even  comforts,  deemed  almost  indispensable  by 
the  residents  of  cities.  The  great,  nuijorlty  of 
farinere,  knowing  that  they  cannot  peonomlze  In 
their  homes  and  personal  expemses  more  than  t  hey 
do,  accept  tins  advice  as  recommending  the  lilrlng 
ot  less  labor— planting  and  sowing  fewer  aeres, 
scanty  manuring  and  imperfect  culilvatlon.  in 
tlie  meantime,  family  and  personal  expi  nses  rc- 
nialD  as  before,  because  they  have  already  been 
reiiuccd  to  the  lowest,  limit.  It  Is  ea.sy  to  foresee 
tliat  Hiich  a  policy  can  only  result  in  stUl  smaller 
profits  and  greater  pecuniary  embaras-sment. 
This  policy  Is  based  ontlrely  on  a  fiUlacy.  Re¬ 
cause  farming  does  not  jiay  It  does  not  loliuw  that 
holding  a  farm  and  doing  notlilng  witli  It  wlU  be 
more  prontable.  it  may  be  proved  that 
land  is  uuproU  tabic,  but  If  the  owner  ciumuT  sell 
at  fair  prices,  he  ought  to  make  the  mosi  of  bD 
farm  wlille  he  holds  It.  In  this  view,  iaio  llitie 
rather  than  loo  much  helii  Is  employed.  In  the 
great  majonty  of  fai-ias  Uie  profit  depends  more 
In  thu  labor  and  manure  put  upon  tbe  land  than 
upon  the  Jiuniber  ot  acres.  Two  men  working 
fifty  acres  will  jinMluce  and  sell  more  than  one 
man  on  one  liundred  acrc.s.  Often  on  a  fariii  of 
one  bundl  ed  acres,  three,  four,  or  even  live  men 
can  be  proBUibly  euijiloyecl,  the  number  depend¬ 
ing  almost  wholly  on  abiuty  to  secure  manure.  It 
(loos  not  pay  to  Jilre  labor  lo  cultivate  sterile  soil, 
or  In  fact,  any  soil  which  cannot  be  made  to  pro¬ 
duce  large  crops. 
Farmers  have  been  Umlted  by  their  Inability  to 
got  manures,  except  as  made  on  the  fann  itself. 
Home  ot  the  shrewdest  farmers  or  former  ycai-s 
ha  ve  yearly  kept  and  latteuud  sheep  and  cattle, 
malniy  as  a  means  ot  Increasing  the  manure  pile. 
Oihci'S  have  sown  clover  seed,  and  manured  it 
with  gjiisum. 
It  Is  only  quite  recently  that  farmers  have  prac¬ 
tically  learned  the  advantage  of  commercial  ler- 
tUlzei-s,  and  their  greatest  beneflt  Is  not  yet 
fully  understood.  It  is  not  the  question  whetlier 
commercial  fertilizers  are  better  than  barnyard 
manures.  Concede,  If  you  please,  that  they  arc 
not;  80  good,  'I'he  fact  remains,  that  whore  t  he 
farmer  relies  entirely  on  manures  made  In  his 
barnyard  he  cannot,  on  one  hundred  acres,  ma¬ 
nure  more  than  eight  or  t  welve  al  the  most  so  as 
to  get  a  paying  crop.  Commercial  manures  avHI 
enable  him  to  fertilize  double  or  treble  that 
nmoiuil  of  land  without  doubling  or  trebling  his 
expenses,  in  this  way  he  more  than  doubles  his 
profits,  besides  tbe  fertlUly  o£  his  farm.  The  pea¬ 
nut  merchant  would  have  done  an  exceedingly 
priifliable  business  H  he  coiUd  have  sold  flfty  dol- 
hii-s  a  day.  Whui  farmers  need  Is  to  exr.end 
rather  than  decrciLso  their  operations,  using  more 
labor  and  more  manure,  and  thereby  eulUvailng 
tlio  whole  rather  than  merely  a  part  of  their 
farms.  Doing  this  they  wdll  produce  more  cheap¬ 
ly,  and  not  only  have  more  to  sell,  but  make  a 
larger  profit  on  every  busfiel  of  grain,  or  poimd  of 
meat,  that  they  dispose  of.

SA'ITIRDAY,  APRIL  22,  1876, 
SPRING  AND  SUMMER  PROSPECTS, 
The  wann  w1nt«r  through  most  of  the  country 
has  been  very  unfavorable  for  business,  particu¬ 
larly  lu  the  West,  in  many  places  Hie  roads  have 
been  almost  unfatbomablc.  aud  farmers  havebeen 
unable  to  get  to  market,  either  t-o  sell  jiroduoe  or 
purchase  necessary  supidles.  In  consequence  ol 
this  stalA?  of  things  money  baa  been  exceedingly 
scarce  among  farmers,  and  business  of  all  kinds 
has  been  unusually  dejiressed.  The  coming  ot 
settled  weather  and  better  roads  will  of  tlself  se¬ 
cure  an  improvnmunt  In  business  In  raan.v  locali¬ 
ties,  and  wberever  any  considerable  portion  of  last 
year’s  crops  remains  unsold,  money  may  even  be¬ 
come  comparatively  plenty. 
Notwithstanding  some  unseasonable  weather  In 
March,  we  believe  the  spring  will  prove  earlier 
than  for  many  years.  Frosts  and  snows  have  not 
accumulated  In  large  bodies,  and  tbe  Ice  in  tho 
Northern  lakes  will  be  clean'd  out  and  open  for 
navigation  much  earlltT  than  usual.  It.  is  this 
cause  more  than  any  ot  her  which  makes  Northern 
springs  backw.ard.  As  a  rule,  wo  think  farmcra 
are  preparing  to  how  and  plant  less  than  usual. 
But  an  early  spring  wlU  enable  ibem  to  do  their 
work  better,  wltli  less  help,  (ind  probably.  If  flue 
weather  prevails,  to  plant  a  little  more  than  they 
had  intended.  The  wheat  crop  seems  generally 
to  have  stood  the  winter  weU,  and  farmers  In 
Minnesota  had  commenced  sowing  spring  wheat 
early  in  April.  Wages  are  generally  lower  than 
for  several  years  past,  and  It  farmei-s  would  take 
tho  true  view  or  the  matter,  the  cncoiirngements 
for  hmng  and  planting  largely  were  never  better. 
For  the  last  two  or  three  years  winter  wheat 
has  been  more  injured  by  cold,  dry  weather  In 
April  and  May  than  by  wdnt«r  freezing  and  thaw¬ 
ing.  Cold  northwest  winds  have  dried  tJie  par¬ 
tially  exposed  roots  of  winter  grain.and  prevented 
it  from  pushing  forward,  tn  such  weather  har¬ 
rowing  wheat  instead  of  being  beneficial  has 
sometimes  proved  an  lujuiy,  as  pulverizing  the 
soil  without  admitting  moisture  has  only  resulted 
In  exposing  new  surfaces  of  roots  to  tho  winds. 
Forecasting  the  weather  is  always  a  dimculi,  mat¬ 
ter,  but  It  is  probable  that  this  spring  will  be  much 
more  favorable  for  harrowing  wheat  than  either 
of  the  last  tlireo  previous  ones. 
What  farmers  .should  plant,  or  sow  for  profit  this 
year  Is  beyond  the  wlscom  of  any  one  to  advise. 
Every  farmer  must  be  guided  by  his  circumstances 
and  necessities.  It  is  pretty  safe  to  advise  as 
great  a  diversity  of  crops  as  possible,  and  to  have 
such  crops  as  will  be  not  only  always  salable,  but 
furnish  continuous  employment  through  tho  sea¬ 
son.  Where  only  one  crop  Is  grown,  tho  work 
comes  all  at  once,  requiring  greatly  mcreased 
cost  of  labor  or  neglect  at  the  crttlcal  season.  It 
18  also  safe  to  advise  attempting  a  good  deal— not 
Whent  Killed.— The  ludlana  Farmer  says  that 
thousands  of  aeres  of  wheat  have  been  killed  In 
tlnat  Htute,  and  will  be  plowed  up  and  sowm  with 
oats.  It  adds  that  the  oat  sowing  will  probably 
be  very  large. 
All  I'lijiiHt  Piinislimoni.  — Maasachusetts  Is 
earning  a  hard  name  for  her  treatment  of  crimi¬ 
nals.  The  latest  case  is  that  of  Moses  S.  Wheeler, 
convlclAid  eight  years  ago  of  ai-son  on  testimony 
of  his  sister.  O  n  her  death-bed  the  sister  confess¬ 
ed  that  she  perjured  herself  and  established  her 
In-other’s  innocence.  He.  having  worked  tor  the 
State!  eight  years  under  an  unjust  sentence,  natu¬ 
rally  demands  some  coinpensat  ion.  The  Legisla¬ 
tive  Committee  Investigating  the  ease  report 
against  allowing  It,  “because  It  might  establish 
a  dangerniLS  and  costly  precedenl  ."  The  justice 
of  Ills  claim  seems  not  to  have  been  considered. 
AT,  the  besu  Mr,  Wheeler  has  lost  eight  years  of 
his  me  besides  all  the  disgrace  of  Imprisonment. 
He  could  probably  recover  judgment  by  suing  the 
State  tor  damages,  and  this  method  of  getting 
Justice  15  worthy  his  consideration.

The  ProMfs  ot  the  Centeunial  Exhibition.- 
The  Philadelphia  Ledger  makes  this  computation ; 
“If  the  Centennial  Exhibition  costs  $7,600,000  the 
amount  clamied  to  complete  It,  in  order  simply 
to  realize  this  svuii  It  will  be  necessary  for  15,- 
000,000  people  to  vlalt  It  once  at  iJie  price  ot  ad¬ 
mission,  50  cents  1  aud  as  the  time  Is  confined  to 
168  days  (Irom  May  lo  Nov.  lO,  deducting  Sundays, 
on  which  It  will  be  closed),  It  will  require  the  dally 
attondauco  of  over  94, boo  people.”  It  is  very 
doubtful  whether  this  high  average  can  be  main¬ 
tained,  aud  besides  this,  there  ivill  remain  innu¬ 
merable  Dicldentol  expenses,  aside  from  the  Ex¬ 
hibition  buildings,  wliicli  must  be  paid  out  of  the 
receipts.  Not  one  of  the  great  luternaUoaal  c.x- 
hlbltlous  have  paid  a  profir,  aud  our  own,  with 
ihe  mUllons  of  Europe  so  far  aw'ay,  Is  not  likely 
to  prove  an  exception.
