A GREAT CONVENIENCE FOR GOOD
HOUSEWIVES

Daniel Richardson, an ingenious and
respectable mechanic, has brought to
great perfection, the REFRIGERA-
TOR or Portable Ice House.-Good
housewives only can calculate the many
useful and economical purpose TO whic h
this contrivance may be applied. The
Improvements made by Mr.. Richardson,
have so far perfected the Refrigerator,
that it may now be fully relied upon, for
keeping butter, milk, meat, eggs, fruit,
vegetables, or any article of household
consumption, perfectly cool, fresh and
pure. All the above named articles,
may be preserved in these machines, as
long as desirable, perfectly sweet, clean
and free from TENT. The Refrigerator
may be deposited in the cellar, in the
garnet, in any part of the house, or even
in the open sun, without any percepti-
BILE injury to the contents it does not re-
quire to be replenished with ice, more
than once in three days, during the hot
test season; and it is attended with ano-
Their advantage, complete security agains,
every species of vermin, to which it is
totally inaccessible, and in winter, it will
keep any article from freezing that is
deposited in it. Every family ought to
have one--the price is from 81 10 S25,
according TO size--and the mandatory

HEMP.

ITO odiilpiC Vi iChilJ ACCOMPANY lDS
the following letter, can be seen at our
Office. Il has been examined by COM
plete judge who does not hesitate to
pronounce it equal to the best Russia.
The thanks of the public are due to the
worthy gentleman, for communicating a
fact Of so much importance, which he
has fully established by repeated expert
meDts.
ShringhiN, February 8, 1928.
DEAR SIR,
l send you for the inspection of the
farmers OF Fayette and the adjoining
counties, sample of hemp, the produce
Of my farm. the only difference in the
management of il from the ordinary
mode, is in ricking it away, and letting
it remain year. The parcel from
which this sample was taken, was laid
down the middle of November and TAX
en- up the last of January. You will OBJ
serve it has red tinge, which was pro-
duced by spreading it too thick, and the
wet warm weather mildewed it. 1t is
however of such quality that | have no
hesitation in saying, that If all growers of
hemp in the western country would join
and raise such, we should soon bauish
the Russian hemp from our ports. l
observe a writer in Niles Register of
the 25th ultimo, estimates the importa-
ton to the United States from Russia in
1921 as follows: Dack and Sheeting
Ssls $50, Cordage S2s,2sl, Hemp
S44l,ll4. Our exports in the same
year OF domestic articles, 10 Russia, am
ounted to Sl27,939, composed of Oak
bark, Rice, Cotton, Hops, Spirits, sc.
leaving balance OF S 100, 5o6 against
the United States. This writer very
Justly observes that if these articles
now exported from Russia were made
al home, then there would be an adj
ditional market for at least SLIGO, 3o6
more of domestic materials, labor and
subsistence, which are now useless, un-
employed and unsaleable. 1t would give
a new aspect to Kentucky and Missouri,
if these states could supply the hemp,
cordage and duck which we buy from
Russia. This sum distributed among
the farmers, ropemakers and weavers, o.
the west, would indeed cause the will
derness to blossom like the rose. Ye,
for the sake of the patry revenue de-
rived from these artic les, the country is
deprived of the profits of raising, manu-
featuring, and distributing such articles. I"
But can or ought we to ask these favors
of the United States, until we frst pro-
duce the Hemp of quality suitable !?
That can only be done by water rotting
or preserving it a year, the latter is in
the power of every grower of hemp, and
certainly much the largest number Of
them can by an exertion lay one year
out Of the proceeds of their hemp, when
the quality will be SO much improved,
and the price greatly enhanced. The
sample sent is inferior to any of several
experiments have known made, and
there are many farmers in the country
who can testify to the uniform result.
Your friend and humble servant,
NATHI. HART.

1.-THE crops of wheat and rye in this
section OF the country and opposite, in
the limestone lands in Virginia, have
pleasing appearance, and the present

is greater-as great scarcity was never

The crops may be pitched, and great
crops aimed at, if they should get
through, but it will be Gin the general

Corn and rye is selling in Virginia, at
