John Paul en wheat.
HE TARRlEs IN CHICAGO, BUYS" LONG

- vi.
Generally speaking. wheat is very
good grain. 1t shows well i'll the field and
in the statistical reports it looks well in
stacks, and especially well in granaries.
and when we'll ground, methodicaliy knead-
ed, judiciously baked, and dproperly brown
ed and buttered into toast, there is no one
who would speak more respectfully. not
to say enthusiastically, of the vegetable
than would. For am. inthe main, too
well-bred to do otherwise. But rs an ar

From the Abingon Yirginian.

From the Abingon Virginian.
MeSsrS. Editors After a sufficient
experience in the Dairy business in South
western Virginia to satisfy myself that it
possesses many advantages over New ork,
where cheese and butter are the principal
products of an immense number of farmers,
think | can show your readers some of
the advantages. if you will allow me the
space in your columns. s.t f f
If, in the Northern States, where lands
average from 80 to Shopper acre, and cows
cost from GO to $50 per head, and the long
and severe winters renders the feeding far
more expensive, farmers can make cheese
and butter pay better than any otheragrl-
cultural products, why may not the busi-
ness be made to pay in Virginia. TenTes-
see and North Carolina? If it pays far
ners better in New York to make cheese
for distant markets than to raise gain, cat
| tie or other products, where they have the
advantages of rivers, canals and railroads
for cheap transportation to the largest
cities in the country, why may it not pay
here, where the manufacturer has mar
aet at his very door, and can readily obtain
two or three cents more per pound!
1could show other advantages, in climate
water, grass, &c. but will leave it for the
present 1t will also take too much space
to compare the dairy business with some
of the principal products of this section,
but stock being the leading business of
most of our farmers. it may be as well to
refer to the cost of marketing. The cost
of shipping cattle to Baltimore taking
the lean with the fat, is about 20 per cent
of the amount for which they sell. The
cost of sending cheese or butter would not
be more than 5 per cent.-the cattle deal
er paying the railaoad companys an in
come tax of > per cent, more than the
dairy. aI- ..E
To be brief, in estimating the cost of
making cheese. we will consider the milk
worth $ cents per gallon, the cost of ma
king the cheese, boxing, &c., 2 cents more
and as a gallon of milk will make pound
of cheese, tue first cost is 0 cents for an
article that will readily sell at 20 Butter
can be made in the Fall and Spring when
the weather is cool. without reducing the
the quantity or quality of the cheese. The
whey, too, is entitled To some consideration,
which, if judioiously fed to hogs, will pay
for milking the COWS, which is the princi-
pal expense connected with the business.
The next qaestion that arises will proba-
bly, be the amount of capital necessary to
start a dairy presume, supposing
it would cost three times what it actually
requires. The cost of fixtures for manu-
featuring the milk of 80 COWS into cheese
is about $50, which will be increased or
reduced according to the number ofcows.
would be glad to give you an idea of
the extent of the business in the Northern
State and the mode of conducting it on a
large scale, but will leave that for future
communication. r.r.f.
Yours, very truly,

Il e Cost efnedcrate Drinking.

Major McCafferty, the well-known Irish
Lawyer at Worcester, recently made Q
speech at temperance meeting, WHICH IS
thus reported:
He said no man should be moderate
drInker for two reasons first, on account
of its expense secondly. on account of
the liability to become a drunkard. 1t
was every mans duty to acquire property
sufficient to leave his children we'll off, but
this could not be done if they spent it for
drink. BY saving every day only what a
man who calls himself moderate drinker
spends for ale or other liquor, a young
man of twenty could, in thirty years OF ac-
tive life, easily lay up $4,000. 1t was
this amount which every moderate drink
er should consider he was foolishly was
ting, if he expected to reach the age OF
fifty years The speaker presented vast
array of other figures and arguments. con
elusive and to the point, to show the bene-
fits of total substinuence. and the evils of
indulgence in liquor. The ladies were
called upon as more responsible parties
than the men in this case, to exert their
influence by signing the pledge and other
wise.
