know then that he would no, be compelled
to take any thing, or next to nothing, for
his cabbage, or be compelled TO bring ii
back, for he could store il, or he need not
send it until his merchant had barganed for
its sale, according to samples, and then the
merchant would be competent witness as
to the contract. As it is now, man living
in remote part of the State, taking 10000
cabbages to Baltimore, would ge. nothing
for them; YET if such system was esiab-
Ished as the one recommended, he would
get just as much for them as any huckster
now gets. illustrate my position again
with familiar example. A coun,ryman
will take very fat turkey to market, jus.
killed, and cleanly prepared for the table,
and he will not get as much for j. as re-
guar huck ster could and would get for a
poor one that he had had on hand perhaps
week. Nearly all the poultry and eggs
and butter sold in the Baltimore market, are
sold by hucksers and regular dealers, who
have to pay expenses 10 get the several ar

we find that they often do. Well, why
should not this extra per centum be in the
pockets of the producer, especially when
the consumer would be furnished with a

Ballimorean as we'll as TO the farming class
to look a, this matter and SET it a-going, if

New YEARS SALUTATIoN TO FARMERS
1t is with great pleasure, brother farmers.
that have the privilege Of wishing you a
happy New Year and that you and may
live TO see many others, in increasing pros
perity and comfort. is my ardent prayer
This is dull season Of the year; but a
good and industrious farmer will always find
something to do.
"This year," says Thriflless, ''the times
are very hard, there's no such thing as
settling accounts, and l'II let 'em be. and
settle bye and bye" That bye and bve is
the fist step towards the Jail limits. Don't
trust him another cent. The harder the
times, the closer keep your accounts and
your eekonings, like good sea captain in
a fog, otherwise you will be ashore before
you know it. Long credits and bye and
bye payments will bring a man to short
commons and close quarters, and patch his
coat with bile,s, s.SS. Greeting" Not to
pay what you owe at the time, is to saddle
yourself with new debts for future pay
day. Mr. Msckwell will turn and twist eve
ry way to pay up and se'lle up this new
year, however he may neg lecl i! when times
are easier.
Let your children 60 to school as much
as possible, and do not interfere with the
orders and regulations Of the master; when
your lillle darling Jenny is whipped at
school, it is miserable way to give him
gingerbread, and call the master "puppy,"
"rascaI," SC.
Keep your barn clean and neat; see thai,
your servants are trusly and faithful in this
business.-FarmerS' almanac.
