L AND BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE,

'1fHE GREAT BRITISH QUARTERLlES
l. AND BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.
Important reduction in the rates of post
age! LEONARD SCOTT s. Co., No. 81,
Gold street, New York, continues to publish
the following British Periodicals, viz:
The London Quarterly review, (Conser-
vative,)
The Edinburgh Review, (Whig,)
The North British Review, Free Church,
The Westminster Review, (Liberal,) and
Blackwoods Edinburgh Magazine, (Tory.l
Those Reprints have now been in sue
cessful operation in this country for twenty
years, and their circulation is constantly
on the increase, notwithstanding the COM
petition they encounter from American pc
rodicals of similar class, and from nu-
merous Eclectics ahd Magazines made up
of selections from foreign periodicals.
This fact shows clearly the high estimation
in which they are held by the intelligent
reading public, and affords a guarantee
that they are established on q firm basis,
and will be continued without interruption.
Although these works are distinguished
by the political shades above indicated, yet
but a small portion of their contents is de-
voted to political subjects. 1t is their
literary character which gives them their
chief value, and in that they stand con-
fessedly far above all other journals Of
their class. Blackwood, still under the
mastery guidance of Christopher North,
maintains its ancient celebrity, and is at
this time, unusually attractive from the
serial works of Bulwer and other literary
no,ables, written for that magazine. and
first appearing in its columns both in Great
Britain and the United States. Such works
as The Caxtons" and "My New Novel"
(both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsular Medal"
g The Green Hand" and other serials, of
which numerous rival editions are issued
by the leading publishers in this country
have to be reprinted by those publishers
from the pages of Blackwood, after it has
been issued by Messrs. Scott & Co, so that
subscribers to the reprint Of that Magazine
may always rely on having the earliest
reading of those fascinating tales.

DELAWARE Co., July goth, 1853.

DELAWARE Co., July 2'lu3 1895.
Mr.. EpIToR:-This, as you are aware, is
one Of the most beautiful and productive conn-
lies of this State. In addition to its natural adj
vanlages OF soil, it possesses many facilities 'of
throwing its aburhast products into market.
Consequently, land has become very high
farms often running from $3.50 TO $3.50 per
acre.
During the cherry. season thousands Of bas-
kcts of that fruit were sent FROM here to the
Philadelphia and New York markets. Some OF
our farmers make respectively $500, $500 and
SiO0, rcr annum, on this fruit. Butter is also
one Of our staple products and one OF the most
profitable; $500, $1,000 and $1,000 per annum
being made by some, on this article alone.
Hundreds OF gallons ofmi!k and cream are sent
daily into the city besides several thousand
quarts of ice cream each week. We can give
no approximate number Of calves and sheep
sent Oft weekly. Peaches, apples. berries. veg
elahIes, &C., all form "A vast source Of income.
Crops, this year, have been remarkably
abundant, grain and grass were never so heavy.
In passing through the county ask myself
why is not Cecil county as we'll conditioned
She is located between Two fine markets Balli-
more aud Philadel phia. with many facilities for
reaching either; and these facilities would rap
idly multiply as the demand for them increased.
Or" thing worthy of remark: we have here no
large farms. More fortunes arr made in this
county from farms under 50 acres than from
those larger. Let your farmers lesson their
iarms-raisc butter calves, sheep, fruits, veg

be to the country, manufactures are still
more important. II is also worthy Of
remark, that two voyages or trelghtS are

from the consideration of this great
staple, TO the more valuable commerce
arising from manufactures. We desire
encouragement tor every interest, and
the most eEteCtual way to encourage
wheat growers, is to build up manuiac-
lures and 50 create a home market.

What is the Value Of our Foreign
Whe at Trade?

We publish to-day, from the Boston
.Atias, plain and instructive article on
the comparative state OF the foreign
wheat trade and the genera! productions
and population Of the country. A few
figures. such as this article brings togeth-
er, are worth a thousand rhetorical com
positions, such as BunCOmbe Congress-
men usually deliver, or as Mr.. jefferson
Davis so inaptly thrust upon the Crystal
Palace dinner company, in New \ ork,
a few DAYS ago. ! here is charm about
the phrase Free trade and its pr'ncl
pal buy where you can do so cheapest, .
which evidently with a majority Of
people, shuts out lmPa tlal examination
of the true meaning OF the terms en-
ploycd. An aboriginal savage OF this
land, would be supposed by nnth'nking
people to have more freedom than its
present civilized inhabitants. He could
roam where he pleased, and was never
troubled with a taX-coIIector But he
could do something else, Starve and SILVER
more than half his own existence, and
live always in dread OF mortal enemies,
wild men and wild beasts. Such is saw
age freedom. We prefer to dwell, even
without rood OF ground to call our own

food and clothes, be protected in person
and in the fruits Of our nduStr,, and
out of the fruits pay liberal share to
the taX-collpctor No sane man doubts
which kind Of fire. edom to chose.
Freedom of Trade, as presented by
its special advocates is just about as
specious as the freedom of the savage.
1t claims the right to 60 thousands OF
miles to buy an article, the material OF
which it sends as many thousands to be
made into useful shape. 1t takes
bow and arrow and'hunts over a vast
region, losing time, wasting energy, risk
ing life, sacrificing comfort, and detying
progress, when with little patience,
system and industry, it might, enclose
fields and gather from the earth the
fruit of its culture thousand fold. Its
system is, in one word, dispersion. 1t
separates producer and consumer, and
impoverlshes both by placing between
them three parties, carrier and middle
men of what ever description. 1t abhors
the home market, the best of all markets
because without foreign disturbing
causes, it must ever be safe and increas-
ing market. But we write for readers
too intelligent to ask an elaborate essay
on this subject. The simple facts OF
the article to which we above refer, are
worth a volmue of argument.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1853-08-06

that in few years you exports OF wheat
and -four would be doubled, if not quad
rupled. Mr.. Secretary Walker INDUCED
in these visionary speculations. The
famine which immediately followed the
tariff of 1916, gave color to these pre-
dictions, and some were verdant enough
to believe that our exports would go on
increasing from year to year. We had
no confidence in such predictions at the
time, and We knew that any inference
drawn from the famine year, would be
! entirely fallacious. We recollccted that
in 1897, when there was general fail
IRE of our crops, we imported 4,OO0,-
( 600 bushels of wheat; but We never sup
posed that we could safely infer from
/ the fact that we should continue to I'M
port grain at that rate. In making an
estimate of this trade, 1887 and 1++1
should be drawn out OF the account,
those being extraordinary years, when
causes of particular character disturb
ed the common course OF trade.
We have heretofore given some atten-
ton to this ubiect, and we satisfied our
selves that our wheat and Hour trade
abroad had reached its maximum PEI
centage on our population. Some peo-
pie talked of our growing greatness, and
OF the increasing productions OF our
country, without once considering our
growing consumption, They see the
wilderness falling before our aHmen'
and they vainly suppose that every acre
of new land brought under cultivation
will furnish SO much surplus to be added
to our export; forgetting the important
fact that the Thousands who ar" redern-
inc the wilderness from waste, are Tor
the first year consumers on y, and mat
every year after they are consumer" as
we'll as producers Besides, in the rear
OF this western emigration, cities and

addition to this, the wheat lands in the
old States are becoming less productive,
while the increased population requires
a greater amount OF Whrat
By the census of 1880, the quantity
OF wheat produced in the United states
was 100, 100000 bushels; being an M
crease Of IS per cent on the product Of
1910, when the crop was returned at
| Sl.S23, O03 bushels. In the corleSPon-
ding period Of ten years, our population
has increased from 1860 ,i33 to 3D.
246. 30l-bpins a gain OF about 30 per
cent. These facts show that our pro-
ductiou of wheat does not keep pace
with the increase of our population.
We will give below the amount OF eX-
ports of wheat and -four, reduced to
bushels, reckoning live bushels to the
barrel. with the value Of the same, for
twenty-one years, from 1881 to 1911,
,l..
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1853-08-06

By inspecting this table, it will be
seen that on the whole, there is but little
increase of our export of wheat, and that
in 1870 and 1871 we sent abroad more
than 100000 bushels of wheat more
than we did in 1880 and 1881. In
1881 we exported sevanty-one hun
dredths Of bushel per capita upon our
population, while in 1881 We exported
on lv forty seven hundreds Of a bush
el per capita. From this view Of the
subject, it will appear that our export
of wheat does not gain upon our popn-
!auon, but ia lis off. And we venture to
predict that our population will increase
for years to come, as fast as our exp9r
of wheat, to say the least.
The Importance Of tins trade has gem
orally been overrated. The home mar
ket for our -four and wheat is worth
vastly more to the wheat grower than
the foreign. New England alone con-
sumes more OF the wheat of the South
and West than all foreign nations put
together. We do not wish to under
value our foreign wheat trade, but we
wish to correct the false impression
which many entertain upon this subject.
That our readers may see at glance the
relative value of this trade, we will
place it by the side Of our exports of do
nestle manufactured articles for the
same period Of twenty-one years:

ANALYsIL OLE NE TrRNlr.

Now then, looking at the above table,
we find that potash, soda, |jmc, suiphmic
acjd, phosphorjc acid, and Chlorine are
the chief inorganic substances on which
the turnip feeds, all of which, together
with all the others, may be furnished
by full dressings of ashes; but as ashes
cannot always be had in sufficient guam :
tiies, in many locations, we would rec
ommend the following compost. The
quantities named are intended for an
acre of land, and to be applied as top
dressing, and narrowed in, viz:
10 bushels of Ashes,
10 bushels OF Line,
2 bushels Of Salt, and
bushcl Of Pla>tcr.

as a matter of course that the land should
be plowed deep, in order that, in its

we would never plough the first time,

tute an experiment. He narrowed one
half his ground in turnips, and left the
other half unharrowed. The part har-
rowed, though both parts were manfred
alike, yielded one-third more turnips
than the part which he left unharrowed
thus demonstrating the advantages of
the practice, and putting to blush the
croaNlngs and prognostlcs of some of
his nr,ghbors, who ridiculed the
practice as silly in the extreme, and
predicted that he would grow no roots
