THE "MIDWINTER" sGRIBNER.

The Hartford CoHrdRt says of the Mid
winter SeribneF; +" fhe cover is a new de.
sign, sprinkled with snOw-fakes and swept
with the dark clouds of a tempestuous sky,
while below is an old-fashioned open fire
place with blazing logs and quaint andirons,
and a row of black birds seated on the frame
of the cheerful picture, like minstrels ready
for the opening load The number is a
royal one, and in some respects touches the
high water mark of the extraordinary sue
cess of this periodical. We doubt il any
magazine has ever been published with
finer Illustrations. And the text is not be-
hind the illustrations in excellence.
sin point of immediate interest we give
the place of honor TO Mr.. Noah Brooks Is
PERSONAL REcoLLEcTIoNs OF LINCOLN. 1t
is most delightful paper, admirable in
manner, and of the highest value as help
TO the full comprehension of the man. One
more paper is promised, but Mr.. Brooks
cannot do greater service than to go on
and exhaust to the minutest his recollection
of the man who is, on the whole, the most
peculiar figure in our history. We should
add that the portrait of Lincoln, drawn
from a photograph, by Wyatt Eaton, is the
best that has ever been printed of him-has
most of his character"
The Nsp York World says: "One re-
markable quality of this head is its essen
tial originality; it is an unmistakable like
pess, admirable in every lineament, we
should say, and yet it is IA new likeness"
Subscription price, $400 year. Sub
scribers may begin with the February num-
Der, and receive the "Scribner Extra," con-
tanning the opening chapters of DR.. Eggles-

tleman by the name of Camper 65
years old, and Living on Goose
Creek Island, in Pamlico county,
adjoining my lands, told me IN
August, 1876, that he knew a
certain field had been cleared and
cultivated for 53 years IN ucces-
sion without any manure or mari,
and that year it had on it 80 BUSH
els corn to the acre on part, and
400 lbs. cotton TO the acre on the
other part-for | saw it myself.
What lands under the SUI can
stand such cropping for SO many
years without aid-except the
swamp lands of Eastern North
Carolina | have seen the rich
bottom lands Of the Wabash and
those of streams emptying into the
Gulf, and | venture the opinion
hat none can surpass, if they can
equal, those rich swamp lands of
Eastern North Carolina. At any
rate, these lands are good enough
for me.
But the slow and expensive process
OF retaining them deters many,
and others have not the means to
do thence there are vast bodies
OF these swamps untouched, and
will remain SO for many generations
to come. Government bonds and
other like investments attract the
silk-stocking and kid-glove gentry
OF u age much more than these
swamps.
What is needed, is good and
practical farmers Of capital /; not
mere broken down adventures !;
not prating politicians not men
afraid OF the sun or getting their
hands soiled-these will do to grace
a drawing room or court an amo-
Gus iooking-glass, but will never
make two spears of grass to grow
instead Of one.
In this connection, it was a move
in the right direction-the organi-
cation of the department OF agri-
culture, of which you are the active
and responsible head. | take a
great many papers-agrlcuitAfal,
commercial, religious, and politi-
cal, and yet | must inclose you,

CHANIC, &c. G. w. JACOBS.

Col. L. l.. PoH;::
DEAR FRIEND:-Slnce | have
been in the fruit raising, &c. |
have been paying attention to ar
ticles in my line that are brought
from the North and other States
here, and our State is sending
thousands of dollars hat might re-
main if II people would take
hold or be encouraged to do SO by
our Legislature in passing laws or
premiums by our fair. l will give
you a faint sketch which has been
brought to my attention more since
| visited the Centennial Exhibition.
In the first place when a man is in
the Northern cities, you will notice
canning establishments are some
times not able to supply demand
for these goods. When | got home
l made a safe and rough calcula-
ton of everything in my line of
business. OF money that is paid out,
for that can be raised in North
Carolina. and it cannot be less
than $780, coo to $500, 900 annu-
ally.
Now for articles, barreled apples
from the North, canned peaches,
strawberries, raspberries, plums,
tomatoes, &C., cider vinegar, apple
and peach, butter, &C., &C.,
French brandies. foreign wines,
grapes and other green fruits, and
potatoes, &C., &c.
W. have plenty Of land that "a
be bought for 81 to SO per acre,
and our county is a very healthy
locality. l shipped a large quanti-
ty Of peaches and grapes to New
York last year, and while Forsythe
peaches sold for So. IS per crate ! of
bushel, Maryland peaches best
grades sold for $40 per crate. My
largest yield of grapes was 2,540
gallons of wine from four acres of
the Concord and Clinton grape !;
this was very poor ground which
would have made s or 10 bushels of
corn per acre.
This is a great tobacco country.
There are II or Is tobacco facto-
ries in our neighboring town, Win
ston, which is divided only by one
street from Salem.
We have 6 or 8 churches IN the
two towns, and 3 or i schools for
male and female.
