The SEWING-MACHINE MONOPOLY
There is perhaps no greater swindle
endured by any people than that of the
sewing machine monopoly in the United
States. There are a great many differ
ent machinesmanufactured. The origi-
nal patent for the principle of sewing
machine is now free. All that remain
are certain Improvements" and of
these the Wilson feed' is perhaps the
most important. The proprietors of
six or eight different machines have
combined to permit no other manufac-
turer to use the Wilson feed, so that
the combination may keep up the eex-
orbitant prices demanded for sewing
manufacturers cost of producing a
machine of any of the designs, is not
over $11 each. The cost of the table
or box ranges from $3.50 to SIS. So
that any machine now sold in the Uni
ted States for less than 800, may be
sold at from $25 to 1886, and afford
large profit. The same machines that
are sold in the United States at $50,
$50, $40, $50, and 800 are exported and
sold in England and in all parts of
Germany at from $25 to $35. .f ....'
It is safe to assume that, by virtue of
this combination, these manufacturers
do now receive over $6,000,000 year
for machines in excess of what they
would get if the "Wilson feed"' patent
was allowed to expire. There is no
pretense that these persons have not
and in tie case Of the Wilson feed, the
originator never got a dollar for it;
while others are reaping millions from
the product of his brain. All that con-
gress should do in the matter is to let
these patents expire, and if necessary
take away any discretion in any person
in the patent Office to extend, renew, or
revive any of them. Certainly, it is
time to put stop to any further 1nonop-
oily under the Wilson feed" patent

Packing Cotton.
A NASHVILLE MERCHANTS VALUABLE
ADVICE TO PLANTERS.

Inasmuch as mistakes are common
among planters on this subject, we
make the following extract from sen
sible letter written by ane of our cotton
firms to o planter in North Alabama:
6 In order that you may understand
fully the sales OF your, cotton, we beg
to state that we draw the samples when
your cotton is put on the market. We
sell by the samples. Should the buyer
find, upon re-sampling. (Which he has
right to dO,) that the cotton fails to
come up to the sample, we make such
allowances as may be found by our city
weighers and examiners. We have had
throughout the whole Of this season, in
almost every lot handled, great deal
of trouble in settling these differences.
The whole thing grows out of careless
handling of cotton by ginners. 1t is q
rare thing to find lot of cotton to run
through as an even lot. Many bales
are mixture of low middling and
good ordinary; many more OF good Or
dinary and inferior. Unless this thing
be corrected at the starting point, we
cannot hope to make as satisfactory
sales as we desire. 1t is so strange that
producers will submit to see fine bale
of cotton, injured by fifty or one. hun
would be cheaper to them to throw in
ferior cottOns away, as the balance
would bring enough to pay for the
trash twice over. We beg of you to
talk to your ginners and packers on
this subject and correct it if you can.
Take a case of which we have an ex-
emp1ifcatiOn. In December last we
bought of a house here lot of cotton
for a house in New York, who shipped
it to Liverpool. Now we have the Teri-
fed statement of parties opening one
of said bales, that quantity of cotton
seed was found in the interior of the
bale and damaged to the extent of
$6.78, which we have to collect of the
commission man here, and he, if he can
of the producer. For those who handle
cotton at $3.50 per bale, to have to pay

The following figures, made up from
the statistical returns, of the Massa.
chusetts Labor Bureau and the NatiOnal
Bureau of Statistics, are for the yeal
1872. A farm labOrer in Massachusetts
then received for his weekly wages $50
with board, equivalent to $40. The
highest wages in England, paid in Lin
colnshire, were So IL, without board
in Kent, $50 81 : in Devonshire and Corn
wall, 81 08.; in Ireland, 81 91, without
board; in France, the highest weekly
wages are $2 96, with board in Prussia,
$2 IS; in Denmark, 81 43; in Italy, $5
SEAL with board. zsg.
Turningto tradesmen, we find that q
blacksmith in Massachusetts, receives
$18 30 per week in England, 81 90; in
Scotland, 81 50; in Germany, So rs; in
Prussia, 81 80; in France, SO OIL. In the
book binding business, the wages are
equally remarkable in Massachusetts as
compared with England. A frst-class
finisher gets $26 in Massachusetts, and
$40 80 in England; a forYarder earns
$15 here, against so 80 in the old coun-
try; q female folder is paid 80 in Massa-
chusetts, and $3 81 in England. Again,
in the great trade of Massachusetts, in
boots and shoes, a first-class upper cut
ter will earn $18, while the European is
paid 81 o.; the female machine hand is
paid $40, and So 70 in Scotland a mend
er of shoes earns $15 here, against 80 53
in England, So 70 in Germany, "a So in
Prussia, and $3 38 in Italy. y.n-[New

BLUE GRASS Sop AS MANURE.-George
Geddes writes as follows in the Country
Gentleman ). AS a manure, the value
of an old sod will be somewhat under
stood when we consider the result OBJ
tanned by Professor Kedzie, of the
Michigan Agricultural College, at Lam
sing. He took square foot, OF June
grass turf and washed away all the soil
in running water, and then weighed the
roots and surface grass, to determine
the amount of green manural matter
usually contained in a heavy green's
ward, and found it to be five pounds
to the square foot or at the rate of more
than 100 tons to the acre. This was
from very heavy mat of June grass,
and the professor says in letter to me,
in regard to this matter. Thisis doubt
less in excess of ordinary. June grass !;
but he says he thinks that few farmers
estimate correctly the amount of vege-
table matter they add to their soil by
ploWing under heavy greensward.' :"

SERVED HIM RIGHT.-Boys who dis
turb camp-meetings by crying " "Amen'
in the wrong place, and Temarking
"GlOry with more zeal than judgment,
should read and ponder the fate of
thirteen small boys in Kansas. These
thirteen ill-advised boys were guilty, SO
the story goes, of disturbing a Kansas
camp meeting by insisting upon shout
ing Amen" when very muscular
preacher who prided himself upon his
voice, was singing hymn. The
preacher bore it for some time, but
finally, becoming filed with righteous
wrath, lie descended from the pulpit
and, never once interrupting his hymn,
saceessively reversed and spanked the
the thirteen small boys. As his aveng-
ing hand descended, and the dust of the
small boys filled the air, the rest of the
congregation shouted in rapture, and
encouraged with loud cries of $50 on,
brother, go on!n Then he returned to
the pulpit, still singing, and those boys
went half mile away behind hay
stack and laid down with their faces to
the earth weeping bitterly.

KISSING THE BRIDE.-A stalwart
young rustic, who was known as for
midab1e operator in free fght,n had
just married a blooming and beautiful
young country girl only eighteen years
of age and the twain were at a party
where number of young folks of both
sexes were enjoying themselves in the
good, Old-fashiOned pawn playing style.
Every girl in the room had been called
out and kissed except Mrs. B, the
beautiful young bride aforesaid, and al
though there was not yOungster pres
ent who was. not dying to taste her
lips, they were restrained by the pres
ence of her herculean husband who
stood regarding the party with look
of sullen dissatisfaction. They mistook
the cause of his anger, however, for,
suddenly rolling up bis sleeves, he step
ped into the middle of the room, and, in
tone of voice that at once secured
marked attention, said: 49,. .......

! MANURE FOR FRUIT TREEs.-It is
clear that animal manures are not what
is wanted for fruit trees, including grape
vines. berries, etc, There may be a
benefit, and usually is at first, but the
quality of the fruit will suffer, and the
wood and foliage are not of that heal
thy character which is desired. This
has been noticed by Leibig and others.
We have known prolific grape-vines to
bear more fruit, but at an expenee of
quality, where the contents OF the privy
were freely used for manuring. We
have always found the best success when
leaves, the weddings of the garden, chip
manure and forest would, either singly
or combined, have been freely applied.
These seem to contain the different
materials in proper proportion, that is,
the organic, the earbonaeeous, and the
nitrOgenOus the mineral needs to be
supplied and nothing does this SO sat
isfactority as wood ashes. Tt supplied
largely potash, which is needed. The
best success, and it has been fully achiev-
ed, which we ever attained, was by ap-
plying coat of leaves in the fall, work
ed into the soil in the spring followed
by weddings from the garden, clippings
of the vine with other vegetable refuse,
as mulch, sprinkled over with wood
ashes, leached or unleaohed. II the lat
ter, more were required. This made q
healthy, most excessive growth, and in
crease both in quality and quantity If
The fruit. IL makes sounder and better
keeping fruit. This with a variety of
soils, but particularly clay soil. There
should be good drainage and expos
ure to air, or else, with q green mulch
kept moist by the ashes there might be
too much humidity. For grapes this
will not do. Nor will it for fruit trees
if there is close, heavy top, reaching
well down, holding thus. the moisture
which eYaporates, and inviting parasitic
Judgments, which will appearin masses,
Inildew, rusted fruit, etc. Herbaceous
material and ashes, with occasional
bone dustw have found the best ap-
plieation for fruit trees in general, for
berries and for the grape. Apply year
" where the soil is not rich; and in the
spring when the ground is dry enough,
spade it well. Use sparingly, If any, the
strong nitrogenous manures.-[E

No FIGHTING EDITOR REQUIRED.-A
Western editor has put in practice q
plan that will enable, all papers to dis
pense with the usual fighting member
of the. staff. One morning he was
waited on by the biggest kind of fell
low, armed with a terrific cudgel, with
several and sundry proturberances stick
ing out all around, marvelously resemb-
ling DerPing gers, Colts, and BoNies, who
saluted him with: t#a ~, ~
where's that seoundrel, the editor ?''
y" He is not about,n said our friend,
"bHt please take a seat and amuse your
self with paper; he will be in in few
minutes,n and hurried down stairs, at
the foot of which he met another man
still more profane and fierce, who asked
the same question in the same language.
"Oh,n said the retreating editor, ego
up stairs, you viii find him reading the
paper.n
Accordingly, up he went, like a high
pressure steam engine, letting off steam
at every step. Our friend waited
minute, and such crash--slam, bang,
oath, curse, objuration, ,-as if all Pande-
monium was let loose. What the result
was has not been ascertained, as our
friend didn't wait. 7Pt5

make room for the improved. 1t has
no hiding Place for bugs, has no Stats
on top OF tie springs, but heavy duck
canvas, hooking at the base of the
spring, that may be taken off and the
Stats removed (fOr cleaning or other
wise,) by anybody in FIVE minutes and
replaced at pleasure. The springs may
be changed to,other portions of the bed
with very little trouble. The springs
are warranted to keep place and last
longer than any other in use. For In
vallds 1t cannot be surpassed. He fits
them to any bedstead or different weight
of persons, the largest humber under
the heaviest part of the body, and with
light covering Of husks, cotton, straw
bed, or hair mattress, they adapt them
selves completely to the body. The
ladies should call and see the arrange
ment of springs for the cradle, and not
have to use feathers in warm weather.
They are better than soothing syrup or
cordials for the little ones. The springs
are made from the very best cast steel
from the celebrated Shefield wokrs of
England. Come one and all and see
them. These beds have been fully es-
tablished in twelve different States.
