Opium Raising in Tennessee.

The Toledo Blade says: DIR. J. W.
Morton, gentleman residing in Nash
vile, has for several years past given
considerable attention to the culture of
opium in Tennessee, in order to stimu-
late which he sent abroad for different
kinds of seeds, and distributed them
gratuitously among his friends and
neighbors. Owing to the lateness of
last years planting, the crop of 1870
proved failure, which was, perhaps,
also due to the inferior quality of the
soil. To obviate this difficulty, he OBJ
tanned seed this year from Calcutta and
Smyrna, for which he paid as high as
$3.50 in gold per ounce. The crop of
the present season has been success,
and the doctor will harvest from fifty to
seventy-five pounds of opium per acre,
from which he will no doubt realize
handsome profit. Another gentleman,
Rev. Fountain E. Pitts, who has follow
ed the example set by DIR. Morton, and
also extensively engaged in the culture
of the poppy, reports similar success. Af-
ter three years trial he succeeded in
raising the best opium poppy seed from
Smyrna, which he planted in good land,
auu INV Cultifdlts III InuCu Iuo edln6
manner as cotton. When the capsules
are ready to soarify, he makes an incision
in one side, and the next evening scrapes
off the gum, which has, when first
gathered, the appearance and consistency
of cream. Incisions are then made on
the opposite sides of the capsules, and
the process of gathering repeated the
following evening, which exhausts the
capsules. A few hours after the opium
is gathered it turns dark purple color,
which continues to grow deeper until
the characteristic opium color is reached.
AS long as opium and its products re-
main a medical necessity, we may as
well congratulate ourselves that it has
been demonstrated that we can grow it
ourselves, and thus probably do away
with importing this expensive drug from
foreign countries but of all existing
remedies, the ultimate benefit derived
from which is of doubtful kind, and
which causes probably more injury in
proportion to the good it accomplishes,
opium, next to whiskey, takes the fore
most rank. ~ ..

Butter and Cheese Statistics.

Butter and cheese making has been a
diffused industry in many countries,
from the earliest time but it remained
for American inventiveness to give con-
centration to the work and show the
nations how best to do it. In 1853 we
exported to England million of pounds
of cheese; in 1870 we sent her fifty mil
lions In the same year we imported
nearly million and half of pounds to
supply our own requirements; but in
1870, so ample and excellent had our
supplies become that we did not require
to import pound. I.
1t is comparatively but few years
since farmers in New York State, seeing
the waste of labor necessarily consequent
on each small farmer being his own
manufacturer of cheese and butter, COM
menced to form labor-saving co-opera-
tive factories, where one set of workers
would do the work of many, and where,
by affording superior facilities and Civ
ing special attention, the quality of the
product might be improved. The move
ment was completely successful, and at
this day, the number of these co-opera-
tive factories in the State is more than
nine hundred, with q supply of milk from
quarter of q million of cows every
three thousand cows affording million
of pounds of cheese, valued at $4,000,
or more than three hundred pounds of
cheese and three hundred gallons of
milk for each cow. OF this large num-

THE HEREAFTER.
BY F. T. PALGRAyE,

Sigh not, fair mother, as thou seest
The little nursery at thy feet
Three golden heads together bent
Like statesmen DER some scheme profound
and sweet
Convened in their more gracious Parliament.
Sigh not, If DER thy faithful heart
Keen shadows of the future go;
The tortures dormant in the frame;
The woes of want and wrong; the sterner
woe
OF souls that start, and own hidden shame.
Fenced from the frosty gales of i'll
Man slips through life unmade, Embraced |;
AS honey from the fllnt-rock shed;
Wrong bravely borne, the brunt of pain well
faced,
Rain in soft blessings on the gallant head.
Endured Endure !-Life's lessons so
is written large in sea and earth:
And he who gives us wider scope
Than the dumb things that struggle from their
birth,
Sets in a sky star of higher hope.
And with more joy than one who treads
The road with never-swerving strength,
His future-piercing eyes survey
Those who, wide-roving, to the fold ut length
Trace with thorn-reddened feet their final
way.
Then sigh not, If the smiling band
Their unforethoughtful brightness keep,
And garner sunbeams for the day
When those dear stainless eyes may yearn to
weep
The natural drops that cannot force their way.
He who has made us, and foresces
Our tears, to thy too-anxious gaze
The long Hereafter gently spares:
Only His Love shines forth, through all their
days
Pledged to the children of SO many prayers.
The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1871-09-07

As to the other States:
Factories.
Total. ........-............3l7

So that on this continent we have now,
after comparatively few years of work,
nearly 1900 cheese and butter factories,
supplied with the milk of more than
100000 COWS, and producing about 100,-
100000 pounds of cheese annually. Our
export of the product of this new in
dustry, or old industry in a new form,
was last year the large amount of ST.
100000 of pounds, valued at $4,000, 900,
while the whole export from Britain of
her cheese is little over 100000 of
pounds. Even the Dutch, who have
made speciality of cheese for centuries,
and who in their varieties adapt their
article to many tastes and markets, ex-
ported last year only half tine quantity
we did. When this experiment was
commenced the European cheeses had
all special markets and special customers,
who took them regularly, and would not
be induced readily to make the change,
while the previous character of our cheese
was not in its favor, but rather the con-
trary. We had, therefore, nothing to
look to for success but the superiority of
the article at the price, and in less than
twenty years, with everything rather
against than for us, we have surpassed
England in the worlds markets, and are
at this day selling nineteen times as much
cheese as she is able to do, with all her
prestige and previous fame as a cheese
producer! In all the history of progress
there is no parallel to this triumph of
American adaptation of fitting means to
needed facilities. Switzerland, from a
kind of necessity imposed on it by the
peculiarities of Alpine pastures, had had
kind of cooperative cheese-making be-
fore we commenced it but it was and is
of small account. Our cooperative ar
rangements enabled many single work
ers with but indifferent success, by that
union which is strength, to become a
great power for supplying the world
with two prime articles of family con-
sumption, and for doing it we'll. Our
triumph, however, is not yet quite COM
plete. Before it is 80 we have got to do
one of two things, or both I; that is, to
produce a cheese which will surpass in
its attractive qualities the favorite pro-
ducts of all other countries, or to produce
cheeses so nearly approaching these fav-
orites in qualities as to compete with
them successfully.

cheeses is Stilton, the highest priced,
which is made chiefly in Leicestershire,
England, from the cream of one milking
being added to the new milk of the
next. The weight seldom exceeds
twelve pounds, and two years are re-
quired to mature 1t.
Parmesan, the most famed of Italian
cheeses, is product of the richest pas
lures of the Milanese territory. 1t is
made from skim-milk, weighs one hund-
red and eighty pounds each, and re-
quires the milk of one hundred cows for
each cheese. ..I ~
Cheshire cheese, one of the very best
of English eheeses, is the product of the
poorest land. Its weight is often as high
as one hundred to two hundred pounds,
and one pound of cheese to each cow
daily throughout the year, is considered
a fair average yield.

A correspondent writes to inquire
"what is the best treatment to prevent
the development of hydrophobia in
dogs% Don't know about the best, but
if you will give your dog water enough
it is pretty certain he can't have the dis
ease. The safest way to insure him an
abundance of this indispensable fluid is
to anchor him in about seven feet of wa
ter, so that his head will be from eigh-
teen to twenty-five inches below the sur
face. In that way hecan drink as much
as he wants. Any surplus he may
swallow will do more good than HARM
