What Shall We Raise ?

This is a question which for number of
years has come to press harder and harder
upon the farmers ofLancaster county, more
especially upon those of the lower part
who are mostly without local market for
produce. 1t is question which must be
speedily and successfully solved, if they
would maintain their present prosperous
standing. Hard times had gradually made
themselves felt during the last six years.
Farms had been brought to the mark ct from
necessity and from conviction that they
were not paying investment, and they
have not sold near so well as they should
do. For some years crops have gradually
ceased to realize the just expectations of
farmers, and the complete failure of last
years wheat crop, has produced shock
which has set most people to thinking.
The day when grain-raising in this part of
the country would pay six per cent, has
gone by, and now when ready money
brings ten per cent, the prospect is darken-
ed We cannot compete with the West in
raising grain, and it is folly to attempt it.
Nor has the great multiplicity of rail
roads advanced the farming interests as it
should. This is not as it should be, and
farmers must blame themselves for it to
great extent. They must hasten to make
use of facilities afforded by railroads. In
this lies their advantage over their Western
brethren. They must turn their attention
to raising something which has more value
in less bulk, such as eggs, poultry, butter,
cheese, pork, mutton, WOOL apples, pota-
toes, other fruits and vegetables, &c. And
in order to reap full benefit from this sort
of husbandry, they must place themselves
in more direct communication with the
consumer. No wonder farmers are discour-
aged when the bulk of their honest profits
goes into the pockets of grasping huck-
sters, and too often dishonest commission
merchants.
In order to dispose of produce in large
cities such as Philadelphia and Baltimore
it is necessary for farmers to avail them
selves of the services of some responsible
firm located in the city. But care should
be taken to ascertain that the firm is res
ponsible before committing produce to
their care. When farmers have large
quantities of produce in the hands of com
mission dealers they would do we'll to &C.
casionally attend market in person. And
again, they should avail themselves freely
of such sources Of obtaining information,
in regard to markets, &C., as are at hand,
such as daily newspapers, market journals,
etc. In conclusion | would recommend
that farmers select certain articles to raise
as Notwithstanding themselves thor
oughly acquainted with every detail of
their cultivation and marketing. If this
system be fully inaugurated and carried
out feel confident that farmers may pros
per with less land and less labor than here
tofore. And none need then be jealous of
the West, but on the contrary all will feel
grateful to her for fastening the day of rest
for ourselves and our half-worn out lands.

4 GREYPoRT LEGEND.

By FRET HARTE.
They ran through the streets of the seaport town
They peered from the decks of the ships where
they lay,
The cold sea-fog that came whitened down
Was never rs cold or white as they.
''Ho, Starbuck and Pinckney and Tenterden
Run for your shallops, gather yourmen,
Scatter your boats on the lower bay"
Good cause for fear In the thick midday
The hulk that lay by the rotting pier,
Filled with the children in happy play,
Parted its moorings and drifted clear.
Drlfted clear beyond reach or call
Thirteen children there were in all
All adrift in the lower bay
Said hard-faced skipper, GOOD help us all
She will not float till the turning tide"
Said his wife, ''My darling will hear my call,
Whether in sea or heaven she abide.n
And she lifted q quavcring voice and high,
Wild and strange as sea- birds cry,
Till they shuddered and wondered at her
side.
The for drove down on each aboring crew,
Yelled each from each and the sky and shore
There was not a sound but the breath they drew
And the lap of water and creall of oar;
And they felt the breath of the downs fresh
blown
Ger leagues of clover and cold gray stone,
But not from the lips that had gone before
They come no more. But they tell the tale
That, when fogs are thick on the harbor reef
The mackercl fishers shorten sail,
For the signal they know will bring relief
For the voices of children still at play
In the phantom hulk that drifts away
Through channels whose waters ncYe" fail
1t is but foolish shpman's tale.
A theme for poets idle page,
But still when the mists of doubt prevail,
And we lie becalmed by the shores of Age,
We hear from the misty troubled shore
The voice of the children gone before,
Drawing the soul to its anchorage.

-"We'rc in pickle now," said a man

The bridesmaids at recent wedding
in Georgia are thus described by local
paper: ut is no idle compliment to say
that they are like three Graces, their faces
mirroring back the purity and softness of
the skies, their eyes floating in light of
dewy tenderness, or throwing radiant
flashes from the inner shrines of thought
like ewel-tinted sparkles caught from bro.

AN UNPLEASANT EXCHANGE.-That
Indian agent who went out to make peace
with the Shoshone Indians some time ago
succeeded, and yet he was not real happy
when he started for home. He was sad.
Because as soon as the treaty was signed
the chief was anxious to prove his good
will, and to make q favorable impression.
that day he took the agent into his wig
wan and insisted upon the benevolent
pale-tace changing shirts with him on the
spot. The agent tried to excuse himself.
He said his own shirt was worth absolute
ly nothing, it was not half as good as the
chiefs, and he hated to rob the latter of
his valuable property. But the chief was
magnanimous. He said he wanted to lose
something. He said had Worn that shirt
now for two years without ever taking it
of, and he was tired of it, and he wa.
willing and anxious to make a sacrifice.
Then the agent seem less eager than
ever to trade. He appreciated such gen.
erous devotion, but his soul revolted at
the thought of practicing such unfairness.
Then the chief said something about scalps
and bontires and tomahawks,a and the agent
suddenly consented. When he donned the
garment he did not seem proud, even if it
had belonged to a chief; but he started on
the first train for home, and seemed to want
to get there soon. And now he takes no
more interest in savages and when any,
body tries to argue with him about the duty
of civilizing the Indians he tears his hair
and swears.
