The Philadelphia ledger has collect

The Philadelphia ledger has collected
and digested tho brief items of crop intel.
ligence transmitted from England, and
has arrived at the conclusion-we hope 1t
may prove true-that we will have a
market this fall and next winter for all
the wheat we can spare, and ,at rates
which will be remunerative. It finds that
this years wheat crop in England, whilst
somewhat below an average, IS about one
fourth more than the crop OF any OF the
twenty eight bushels to the acre, and the
wheat area is usual three and q half mil
lion acres. In round numbers, the crop
of 1874 may be estimated at one hundred
million bushels, whilst the annual aver
age consumption of wheat in England IS
one hundred and ninety million bushels.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS
How They Make Leather in Russia.

The Shoe and Leather Reporter publishes
some extracts from private letters Of Hon.
Marshall Jewell, United States Minister at
st. Petersburg, which afford not a little
interesting information concerning the
Russian shoe and leather tanneries and
their mode of operation. Minister Jewell
appears to be taking an interest in this
important branch of industry, and has oc-
cupied much of his leisure time in inspect
ing the more prominent establishments for
the purpose of comparing the methods of
the Muscovites with those pursued in the
United States. Tanning is one of the
most extensive industries in st. Petersburg,
where there are hundreds of large establish
ments, each tanning from $4,000 to 40,0
hides annually. They each employ about
hundred operatives, at a cost of from $40
to $12 month each and while little of
their labor is thrown away, these men ac-
complish on an average only about half as
much as American beamsmeu. They use
willow bark altogether, and make only
about forty per cent. of leather out of
green hides The cost of tanning is about
eight cents per pound, and the product is
far inferior to that of our own tanneries.-
Minister Jewell thinks there is an abun-
dance of room for American enterprise
there, and that its introduction would be
mutually beneficial. In regard to one
other point not connected with the leather
business, the Minister says he gets letters
from New England manufacturers stating
that bogus goods with counterfeit stamps
on them are sold in Russia These goods
are made in Germany, and this cuts off our
Collins axes, Fairbanks scales, the sewing
machines and others. He fluids that our
treaty forbids the practice, but says moth
ing about vending or using the goods sold
under the counterfeit marks. So the deal
ers there buy axes in Belgium, England or
Germany, and put an exact duplicate of
the Collins stamp on them in transit, and
he is powerless to prevent it. He is going
to try to get this thing Strengthened out
when he gets fairly at work and we'll ac-
quainted. Touching the government to
which he is accredited, the Minister finds
that of it's kind, it is perfection and clock
work itself. The Emperor is man of
brains, force and progress, and has a real
love for his people.

Premium Potatoes.

The New York Tribune says We late
ly interviewed practical farmer who for
several years past, has taken the first prize
for his potatoes. In reply to inquiries as
to his mode Of operations, he said that the
largest and best shaped tubers arc always
selected for planting at digging time the
previous year and he finds that they have
been gradually increasing in size, until his
potatoes are now enormous. Sod ground
is chosen for the crop it is worry carefully
and deeply plowed and thoroughly pulver-
lied with the spike harrow. Previous to
breaking up, however, the whole surface
is heavily manured and this manure raked
into the furrow as the plow passes around.
The tubers are cut into quarters few days
before planting and dropped in the rows
sixteen or eighteen inches apart. The
rows are struck out with the plow about
three feet distant, and the seed is covered
with good depth of soil. A roller over
the ground, leveling and smoothing the
surface, to be followed in a short time by
the spike harrow. AS soon as the young
plants appear above the ground, the cul-
tivator is started and kept going frequently
throughout the growing season. Every
weed is pulled up as soon as it makes its
appearance for, TO use his own expires
sion, he is "tOo poor to grow weeds" AS
the plants wax strong, slight furrows are
thrown up to them with small plow, and
these are still further increased afterward
by repetition of the same process. In
digging, great care is taken not to skin or
bruise the tubers, but to handle them all
carefully, and this enables the owner to
preserve them much better than the care
less farmer who throws his potatoes about
as II they were cobble stones. This is the
only magic he employs. Careful choice of
seed, thorough preparation of the soil, fire.
quent stirring Of the surface aud total ex-
tinction Of weeds-these are the secret Of
lhis success.

When the timber is first cleared off and

about ready to take their departure
the conversation turned on the all
absorbing topic of the day-pol;tlcs.
The bridegroom, who, by the way,
had ever been a strong Republican,
maintained his ground in gallant
style. As clincher, he informed
his opponent that there were not men
enough in the world to change his
political principals The young bride
overhearing the boastful assertion,
quietly remarked TO a lady friend,
that if there were not men enough
she would see what woman could
accomplish. Shortly after the COM
pany bade the newly welded pair
good night. Soon after the wife
sought the nuptial chamber and re-
tired. In a few moments she was
followed by the husband. who calm
ly proceeded TO remove his wearing
apparel; the wife coolly asked him
what he intended to do, and was in re-
turn as coolly informed that he pro-
posed to monopolize at least one half
the marriage bed. He was thunder
struck when the wife in very deci-
ded manner gave him to understand
that she could not consent, as she had
a solemn vow registered in Heaven,
that she would never occupy the same
bed with a Republican. He threat
ened and cOaxed by turns, and all to
no pupose the young wife remained
as firm rs the hills of her own native
State. Finally becoming discoura-
ged, he reluctantly sought another
apartment; there to muse on the un-
certainty of married life. Time roll
ed on. 1t was the night before the
election; the hour ten smiling poll
ticians were on the war path. How
different the contrast in the bridal
chamber the wife of a few short
days was bitterly weeping. Between
her s0bs she detected a light football
in the passage way. Almost imme-
diately it was followed by low, tim
id rap upon the door. In a moment
came another rap, louder than the
first. Assuming frightened tone,
she asked, 'who is there y 4 firm
manly voice replied, "the most rad
ical Democrat in Rockingham coun-
ty." Then came the joyful summons: ::
''Ned, YOU can come in" Thus is
the Democratic majority in the Leg
islatme increased by one vote.-tOr.

Fashions-Cambrio Dresses.

Always fresh and suggestive of a
complete tidiness, these summer com
forts will be well represented this sea
son, as sales in the shops have greatly
exceeded those of many springs past.
Every lady buys percales and cam
brics, and reyels in demi-toiletts Of
linen lawn as well. Few entire cos
tunes are of these fabrics, however
an underskirt of black or brown silk
being generally preferred.
Bias bands, once universally used
for trimming cambria dresses, are dis
countenanced this spring, and stripe:
running contrarywise to the garment
on which they are used, is the special
edict from abroad. For convenience
in the laundry, polonaise designs arc
exc client, and many ladies will ap'
propriate such for percaIe dresses
In this case the overskirt is, Of course,
superiluous. Blouse waists, with II.
prom oyerskirts, which end in long
square ends, are in special favor with
young ladies this spring. These little
ovelskirts are nightly like shaw
iichu in shape, and the long broad
ends tying in one large square knot
at the back, form sufficient drapery
to he graceful under ordinary basque
ends. White overiresses made with
pleated blouse waists, and apron over
skilts above described. afford an op

How it Happened.

The election of Democrat Repre-
sentative in Stratham at the annual
election, was a surprise to Democrats
and Republicans alike. Il has been
a matter of considerable speculation
among the members Of each party
how it was brought about BY the
consent of parties most interested, we
are permitted to give the following,
which will forever set the matter at
rest, as the member was chosen by
one majority: \ few days previous
TO the meeting, two of our sensible
young folks entered the blissful state
of matrimony. In the evening, a
number of their friends made them 4
call for the epurpose of rendering their
congratulations, When they were

Rather a funny incident occurred
the other day on the Southwestern
Railroad OF Gcor!ia. \ nan named
Wolf, residing at Marshalville, near
the railroad depot, has FIVE tow-head-
ed children. Conductor Dasher had
on his train a large party of northern
excurs;onists, who were anxious TO
see all the curiosities. Near Marshal
vile he told them that there was Il
man who had five tame wolves, all
with white spot on the top Of their
heads. They expressed a desire to
see the strange animals, and the con-
ductor said that rs the wolf tanner
lived near, he would wait for them.
They alighted, and Dasher pointed
out the way to the house, remarking
that as the old she wolf was an ugly
customer, he would not 20 with them.
Going to the yard, they found Mrs.
Wolf, and the children playing about
her. They offered 10 pay her liher-
ally for a sight of the FIVE tame
wolves. They were back in time for
the train.

UNENDING.

There Is IN end TO kisses and 70 sighs,
There Is an end 10 laughter and 70 tears:
An end to fair things that delight our ewes,
An end to pleasant sounds that delight our ears
An end 10 enmity's foul lbeling.
Aud TO the gracious praise Of tender friends;
There Is an end to all bat one sweet thing
To love there is no end.
That warrior carved an empire with his sword;
The empire NOW Is but ike hiIn--a name;
That statesman spoke, and by a burning word
Kindled a nations heart into flame;
Now naught Is left but ashes. and We bring
Our homage 10 new men, TO them we bend;
There Is an end to all hut one sweet thing
To love there is no end.
All beauty fades away, or else. alas
Mems eyes grow dim, and they no beauty see;
The glorious shows Of nature pass and pass,
Quickly do they come, rs quickly do they flee;
And he who hears the voice of welcoming
Hears next tha slow, sad farewell of his friend
There is an end 10 ali save one sweet thing
To love there is no end.
And for ourselves-Our father, where is he?
Gone, and memory alone remains;
There Is no refuge on mothers knee
For us, grown old, and sad with cares and pains
Brotherless, sisterless, our way we wend
To Deaths dark house, from which We shall moi
rove,
And so we cease : yet one thing hath no end
There Ia no end 10 love.
