THE CosT OF PoRK.-Is pork making profit
able in New England States This is ques-
ton often asked and often answered that New
England farmers cannot compete with those
at the West. To a certain extent this is true,
yet pork making must be profitable or the
Yankees would drive the whole tribe into the
ses-for if il was really losing business they
would snuff it out as easy as u Jew would
roast pig.
There has been a good deal of doubt, how
ever, for want of data, whether it was better
for farmer in Massachusetts to sell all his
grain or convert portion of it into pork
Upon this subject the report of the Board of
Agriculture of that State throws some light.
1t SAYS that
60 Pork can be raised at profit of at least
ten per cent on the outlay. This belief is
founded upon experiments have made,
which satisfied me that four pounds Of corn
would make one pound of pork. Corn grown
in this neghborhood will weigh sixty pounds
to the bushel, and one bushel will make fif-
teen pounds of pork, beginning with pig at
birth.
"The average price of corn for the last ten
years is eighty-fye cents bushel. Twenty
bushels, or l 200 pounds, will make 300 pounds
of pork, the average price of which for the
last ten years has been 1-2 cents pound
Taking these premises, the account will stand
thus:

When corn is higher, as at present, there is
usually corresponding increase in the price
of pork.
No farmer should dispense with hogs because
they are not profitable, but he never should

NOTICES OF NEW BOOKS.

The Potiphar Papers (reprinted from Putnam's
Monhly.) These papers would have afforded us
many hearty lsugh could we have looked upon the
scenes there depicted libel caricature but
we are satisfied, from our own experience and the
testimony of others, that the picture is sad and
sober reality, drawn by a masters hand. That the
"bcst society here described has any counter part
in this country may we'll be doubted, for it is mis-
to call this the best society. In the words Of
our author, "Who make this country? From whom is
its character of unparalleled enterprise herosm and
success derived? Who have given it its place in the
respect and fear of the world? Who annually re-
crut its energies, confirm its progress and secure its
triumph? Who are its characteristic children, the
pith, the sinew, the bone of its prosperity? Who
found and direct and continue its manifold institu
tions of mercy and education? Who are essentially
Americans? Indignant friend, these classes, wher-.
they may be- are the "best society" because
they alone tho representatives of its character
and cultivation" These papers have no doubt been
read by many in the pages of the Monthly " in
which they first appeared but to those who have not
seem them, can recommend them afording an
hours entertainment and perhaps they may cause
some deep and serious thoughts on the tendency of
the increasing luxury and extravaganza prevailing
in our country.
Health Trip to the Tropics, by n. p. Wills The
writings of Willis well known that it is
ly necessary to do than give the title and
tents of this volume. 1t seems to consist of q num-
Der of letters written by Willis for the Home Journal
during his Southern trip, and here collected. We
must not look for much earnest serious thinking
in Willis writings but there few who excel him
in that lively othand description of men and man.
ncrs, which have the charm of novelty, and is almost
equal to seeing with ones eyes, Among the
most interesting letters those describing the
Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, one of those natural
wonders which would repay trip across the Allan
tic far more even than those old cathedrals and
feudal castles which attract many Americans who
have the more mighty and wonderful
works of God in their own country. What arc all
the piles of mems erecting, to this spacious cavern
extending miles under ground and forming halls,
domes, pits mountains, such the light of the sun
never shone upon? Willis seems to have taken a
step from the West Indies to Kentucky and back
again to the Islands, but not for the sudden
ness of the change since he Introduces his readers
to such glorious scenes.

HIGH PRICE OF HANDS.

The last Murfrecsborough Gazette says:
Yesterday several negroes, belonging to the es-
tates of David Gatling and VIM. H. Sears were hir-
ed out publicly in this place. for the ensuing year.
at prices ranging from $11O to $114 One negro
man brought $3.50. These prices were given for or
dnary field hands,"
The Norfolk Argus says:
"Wc have never known the demand for negroes
greater that description of labor scarcer or high
er than at the present season. Such is the price ask
cd that it will operate seriously on that portion Of
the farming interest which has to rely chiefly on hir-
ed help. Many of our farmers, rather than engage
at the present rates consider it prudent cur
tail materially their agricultural operations Ordin-
ary field hands have commanded high as one hun
dred and fifty dollars, and No laborcrs have rea-
Oily brought 1925 accompanied with life insurance
for the value of the slave. The great demand for
laborers in this section proceeds from the turpcntnc
regions in North and South Carolina and Georgia,
we'll as the works of railroad improvements which
are soon to commence and fear that considerable
Inconvenience will be experienced the present year
in the prosecution of these schemes.
Negro men have hired in this region, for turpen-
tine getting, for from Sl75 to $780, taxes and insur-
ance being cheerfuly paid by the persons hiring.
Indeed the mining, timber and turpentne interests
have created such demand for labor that the result
must be more or less injurious, at least for time,
to the agricultural interest. 4 farmer can hardly
afford to pay $3.50 to 5000 for hands, notwithsand-
ing the prices of gran cotton and tobacco are now
better than for years past. We are gratifed, how
ever, that labor is in such demand among u.s. Much
more of it than heretofore will be brought into re-

"We have just been handed 2 letter from higii-
iy respectable Irishman, resident in Melbourne Civ
ing full details Of the escape of Smith O'Bricn from
the penal exile to which the British government
doomed him, and from which he has been released
by the courage and fidelity of few friends in the
colony, and the synpathzing aid of the commander
of an American trading vessel which was in the of
