THE NEGRO EXODUS.
A NnssIssIPPIAN's CoMMoN-sENsE VIEW
OF IT.
Washington Pnst.l

During the years 1875 and 1876 the negro ex.
/ odus from Georgia to Mississippi became 50
general that the Legislature of that State passed
| stringent laws against any ane who sought To
entice away that class of labor | know two
gentlemen from Mississippi who were subjected
| each to a line of $50 while visiting Georgia ON
! that mission. Thousands of negroes left Geor-
| gla and North Alabama for the rich alluyial
cotton lands of the Mississippi valley, and the
people of those States feared, at one time, thut
they would suffer the most serious consequences
from the exodus" The negro is gregarious
and hence he went in droves; but | never once
heard that he left Georgia or Alabama on ac-
count OF political persecution" nor did even
the New \ ork Tribune make such charge By
the way, have often heard the expression of
wonder that the cotton crop now, under free
labor, is greater than before the war | account
Tor 1t mostly from the fact that thousands of
negroes have emgrated from the non-cotton-
producing States to Mississippi and Louisiana
And right here, he who studies the present
Kansas fever" in the light of common sense
con readily account for its prevalence The
cotton-raising industry has been oyerworked
until that stay lie has gone down to seven or eight
cents per pound-two or three cents less than
the cost of producing it. Hence many of the
negroes, as well as the whites, are hopelessv in
debt or discouraged and Just at the opportrne
moment heartless fananatics Distribute nictures
OF negroes, supported for ten years bv the Gov
eminent, given $50 acres of land with mnIes
horses, etc., and riding in carriages through
their own fruitful farms. What agricultural
population earth would not migrate under
all these circumstances? Suppose Lyeurgus p.
Jones should try it with the English or Irish
peasantry proposing TO pay their passage to his
delightful Utopia? He could almost depopu-
late Ike agricultural districts of Europe in few
months c. f. NJ.
OF the theory of Mr.. Merrill is cor

sequence of the low price of cotton, it

A Change In Funeral Fashions.

The gradual change in mortuary
customs is q matter Of occasional mo-
tice. For several years the floral FASH
ion continued to increase until it reached
climax at Stewart funeral. The ex-
penseo decorating the coffin, with other
displays suitable to that occasion, was
$4,000. This excess brought an inn
mediate reaction. and since then flow
ers for mortuary purposes have almost
fallen out Of use. Another feature in
funerals is the choice Of evening as he

are taken away for interment. The

What the New Agriculture Teaches,

VAAssS VAA0 NOV A6AACuAtuIC 1t6CuoSs
The following valuable hints are
taken from an essay on "The New Ag-
riculture" by DR.. j. F. Nicholas, q
distinguished agricultural writer:
Apples carelessly grown will bring
poor prices; but those well grown and
well cared for and properly packed will
bring best prices even in these tirnes.
The best corn will make the best meal.
Some farmers make their cider from
rotten or otherwise worthless apples
and put the cider into musty casks.
Such cider, however, is of little value
compared to that made from good ap-
pies and put in clean, sweet casks.
Pork fed from slops and kept in dirt
and filth is not near as valuable as that
fed on good meal and always well lit
tered. Good food is always worth pay
ing for. A pan of butter has been
spoiled by the farmer going into the
milk room with his boots covered with
manure; butter and milk absorb odors
rapidly. It is always best to aim at
excellence in everything. Fodder corn
is good feed. if properly grown, but it
is not good when sown broadcast and
thick. It is as foolish to say that either
milk or beer can be produced from
food which chemistry says lacks the
elements of which they are composed,
as to say that dung will produce plants
If the minerals are lacking. Fifteen
cows, allowed to stand out one hour on
q cold day, shrunk in milk nine quarts;
ice cold water given to COW will
shrink the milk; cows allowed to stand
in water on q hot day will also shrink
their milk. Cows never should be al
lowed to stand in q draft. A good,
careful man, placed in charge of bad
ly-managed herd Of cattle, mas in
creased the flow Of milk to an extent
sufficient to pay his wages. Putting
salt on the hay NOW is q useless prac-
tice; in this case it has no curative
properties. In the old agriculture the
idea was prevalent that dung was dung
from whatever source produced, that
from meadow hay being supposed equal
to that from the best hay or the best of
meal or grain. The new agriculture
forbids farmers letting their wet lands
lie waste, but tells them If they have
finished their haying BY the middle Of
July to go to work next day to reclaim
other lands. The new agriculture
teaches us the different amount Of nu-
TRITON in the different kinds Of corn.
Under the old system twenty TO forty
bushels were considered good yield,
but the new one teaches us that seven
II or eighty will only be considered
fair yield; it also teaches Us that the
snutritivo value Of the cob is superior to
: that Of wheat r rye straw, and equal
TO that OF oat straw, beside containing
e much larger amount Of potash than
any Of the straws. Eastern corn ground
with the cob g equal il feeding value
&c the Southern corn without the cob;
but to obtain the best results from any
grain 81 should be ground very fine.
Tho amount Of potash taken from the
s10il By the corn cobs = enormous.

feed green g cows q

As soon as the apple is ripe, take of

GLASS RAILWAY SLEEPERS.-A novel
use for glass has been recently found,
and so far It answers well-viz., as sleep
ers for tIamway lines. Soon after De la
Basti introduced his method Of tougher
ing glass. Mr.. F. Siemans of Dresden
commenced a series of researches, which
have eliminated at present in the pro-
duction of very hard glass, which, un-
ike the material produced by the De Ia
Bastie method, does not fly into million
fragments when broken. The sleepers,
which are being tested on the North
Metropolitan line at Stratford, are 3
feet long and inches wide, by 6 inches
deep,t upper side being shaped to nit the
rail The glass sleepers are not 50 strong
as those cut from sound pine, but they
are practically indestructible, and, what
Is more, are cheap.
