Onee agnin a now epoch is reached form which to dato the progress of the aXTairs of men, and it forms a suitable op portunity for a review yf the events of, the psAt and for the formation of plans for tho future, f* t,:* ?? ; >' It in Uot our intention to moralize at this time, but it is proper for us to ac knowledge our indebtedness to the Giver of all Mercies for the blessings so richly bestowed upon us in the years that arc gone, and to ask their continuance for the time to coma. We would n'.s? avail of the pecasion presented to greet all our readers with tbe compliments of the sea son, wishing them A Happy New Year, and expressing the hope that they may be blessed with prosperity and health, favored with fruitful fields, and remuner ated amply for their la not s and patience. To many the year just closed lias been one, doubtless, of tribulation. Thousands who believed they were beyond the reach of such'ti contingency, surrounded by every mark of security, found themselves, by the sudden changes of the times, re duced from the height of prosperity to the depths of poverty. Tho causes of there catastrophes are too well known to need repeating here. Tho shock was abrupt^ sharp and destructive. Let us be thankful that to a great extent the desolation has been stayed, and that a rainbow of hope now shines over us. May the lessons-taught in the hour of trial not be without a compensating good in the future. Amidst even the direst of calamities there is always a silver lining to the cloud. No chastening for the present seemeth good, but it is apt to bring forth the permanent fruits of righteousness, says an inspired writer, and so we hope it will be with the recent troubles in our land. At no period of tho year would the late panic have been less likely to cause a general disruption of tho busi ness of the country than that at wh ch it came, aud then the Farmers, as they have ever been; were found the hope and salvation of all other classes. They were just gathering in their harvests of grain, and securing the whitened crops of the cotton field,?those products which were eagerly sought with outstreched hands by the nations of the world, who, failing in their own harvests, found their depen dence upon American farmers, and freely shipped the r gold to our shores for the genorous grain of which we had a sur plus to spare. "American Farmer." Profits from One Hen?A Sugges tion?Afe old subscriber to the "Ameri can Farmer," in Culdwell county, N. C., in renewing for 1874 and sending a club of new names, says; "My wifo had a blue hen the past sea son that laid thirty-two eggs, and raised besides, eight turkeys and twenty-five chickens. They were ull sol i in our little market, as follows {1 32 egg*, at 20 c*nta. a dozen 52 8 turkey*, at $1.80 a pair $7 20 28 chicken*, at 18 cents a piece 4.50 $12 22 Who can beat that? M. D. S." That is a pretty good return from one hen ! It gives us, too, little text on which to hang a suggestion. It is that if those farmers who think the times arc too hard to take a paper will take one hen and properly enre for her, she will easily net them enough to pay for their county paper and their religious paper. Chester Pigs.?This breed of hogs was formerly held in high repute, for the genuine article is no doubt ono of the best of the swinish fraternity; but of Into yeais, the demand for them has decreas ed very materially, and Pa. Journal of | tho furm gives as the reason foi the de clension that "it results from an almost indiscriminate shipment of all kinds of white pigs iu Chester Co. When the detnjjjjd was at its highest point, dealer; werWcouring tho country, and buying up any kind of pigs so they had no black hair, aud shipping them abroad to. tlw disappointment of purchasers, and dis credit of the Chester Whites. They cni scarcely be claimed to be a distinct breed but ai?e only the result of many years careful~cr?ssi?g,. aud not bniving thoir characteristics iixcd, show ? strong tend ency to rev?rt to their original state." - ** ? ?? ' * The $40,600 Cow.?It appears thad the agent who bought for Mr. Davies, of England, the short-horn cow Eighth Duchess of Qekeva, at the New York Mills sale, for $40,600, exceeded his in 8tructions, and that she will remain in' the United States, having been sold over on Mr D's account to Col.
