AMERICAN OYSTER EXPORTS.

The export of meat from this country to
England and the steadily increasing de-
mand for it have awakened much interest
OF late, both in England and America.
Much is now said of the expectation of
another article, which is both food and
luxury, the unequaled American oyster.
1t is stated that there is already a ship
ment weekly of nearly two thousand bar
rels of oysters to England by several
firms of dealers in a single American port.
This trade has gradually grown from a
small beginning few years ago to an
amount Of about millions dollars year.
The great demand for oysters in England
and especially in London, has almost ex-
hausted the home supply. While we
have an unlimited area and capability of
oyster production the area there, as well
as the capacity for raising oysters, is lin
tied. Our own Chesapeake bay and its
tributary waters could alone supply the
the world with oysters. II is business,
however, which requires care and discre-
ton in its management and conservation
or the quantity we have might not be
sufficient TO meet the new trade that is in
the process OF development,

A WORD To FARMERS Sons. TO
those who prize the freedom peculiar
TO life in the country. and also the
security of . steady occupation, the
pursuit of farming in this country Of
.fers great advantages. Every talent
which the most gifted young man pos
sesses may be exercised in connection
with agriculture, and the more finish

Alreadya q large portion of the per-
manent wealth of our nation is in the
hands of farmers, and every facility is
offered by our laws for any enc who
wishes to secure a farm for himself.
The introduction of machinery for al.
most all kinds of farm work, the null
tiplication of means Of transportation,
and the great demand in cities and
towns for the best farm produce, make
it necessary for man TO know the cost
OF each crop he raises that he may de-
vote his time and labor to that which
pays the highest per cent. ON capital in
vested. Hundreds of farmers annually
dispose of their whe at potatoes, apples,
corn, cattle or horses, at the market
price, without knowing the actual cost
Of production Of any crop. As q ma
tural consequence they 60 on year af-
ter year in the same way while by

Their produce must be Of good quality
to meet with ready sale. and to insure
that success now demands that capital

BURNING TOBACCO BEDS.

A Kentucky tobacco grower seuds
To the County Gentleman the following
communication, which may be OF IN
terest TO some OF the tobacco growers
of our own section:
As the time is at hand for burning
plant beds. l would like to discuss the
matter, and hear from some of your
scresponds in the tobacco growing
sections. especially those sections
where wood is scarce, as to the most
economical and best manner of making
them. Our present Aode Of preparing
them takes a great deal of time and
hard labor and Il may be that we can

Of rich. loose soil being the besl) and
logs and brush are piled ON skids and
set on fre. The skids keep the logs
of the ground SO that the heat can pass
under them and heat it. The ashes,
however, often fall and cover the
ground, and prevent the heat from
reaching the weed seeds and grass
roots, which prove Troublesome
pest. Whea the ground is sufficiently
burned the logs are moved on to a
fresh space, and so on until q bed of
sufficient size is attained. The bed is
then plowed or hoed up and thorough

when il is ignited the fire will come
