SHORT WEIGHTS. The American
Grocer, and other leading CONNER
cial papers OF the eastern cities, are
turning their attention to exposing
the dealers who practice giving short
weights. The subject is one that
should receive attention throughout
the country. The frauds practiced
Gu the public, and especially on the
poorer classes OF people who have no
scales or other conveniences for test
ing the mercants' weights, it is esti.
mated will amount to from ten to
fifteen per cent. Instances have been
known where 40 pounds have been
short in barrel of sugar, and fire.
quently 400 pounds in q ton Of coal.
Ii is from the fuel de lers, grocers,
and druggists that the public suffer
the most. Let the practice be gen>
orally adopted Of having the articles
weighed or measured on their arrival
home IRON the merchant, and al
though it might check the building of
marble front houses by the merchants,
it would save many au hour OF weary
labor to the Industrial classes.

"ln short, we are buying from tho

selling to them at our prices. We
are leaving out OF these mutual trans
actions almost the entire class OF

change, and retaining In the hands OF
the producers the entire price Of pro-
duction. The result will be that tho
farmer, having a better market, SELL
ing for cash, and getting the entire
price. will want larger supply Of
goods which the Sovereigns furnish.
The workingmen, as co-operators
getting not wages but prices, will be
enabled to buy more from the farm-
,rs. The market Of each will be in>
,reased nd the production will iol-
ow this as a necessity. We shall
rave cooperative production, distri,

'idual actions, presents none OF the
weaknesses incident to mere clan or

these benefits are always immediate,

How SEEDS VEGETATE.-When a
seed is placed ia the earth and sub,
jected to the action OF warmth, mois-
ture and air, it first absorbs moisture,
swells up some times to several times
its former size and sends up shoot
to the surface, and at the same time
throws down roollet into the soil
below. Unless this root is sufficient
ly developed to bring up food from
the soil, the plant derives its whole
from the seed. This is al
so the case until the leaves are
formed and enabled to absorb carbcn-
ic acid from the atmosphere and OBJ
tain the requisite supply of carbon
from the same. Hence. il seeds are
planted too deep, much Of the sub
stance that would promote the deyel-
opmeut of leaves and stem above
ground is used up in forming a long
stem beneath the surface.
