exception of a few where there were
county roads; no moving machines,
reaping machines, and very few
scythes and cradles; no plows except
the shovel plow, and very few of the
old barshear plows, with wooden mold
boards: no iron or steel pitchforks; no
threshing machines, hay rakes, or 9TH
er modern Improvements in agrlcul-
tural implements. There were very
few barns, and often not even stables
for the horses, and no sheds or shell
tiers for cattle in winter, and thus
there was much suffering and loss OF
flesh among stock. There was care
lessness on the part Of the men that
was without excuse. Until the Welsh
and some Germans commenced set
ting in this county, about forty-fve
years ago, there was no prospect OF
improvement; but as soon as these
patient, industrious, economical for
eigners began to improve their farms,
and introduce a better system, the old
stock of farmers began to follow up,
and were not much behind, and now
there are few counties in Ohio, with
lands as poorly adaptedto farming as
Jackson county, that can show greater
progress than can this county.
As | limited before, the great devel-
opment of the vast mineral wealth Of
this county has done much to encour-
age farming. 1t has given the farmer
splendid home market for all he can
spare, and this has diversified his in
dustries, and whether his farm produ-
ces wheat, corn, oats, hay, or pastur-
age, he can turn it all, or either, to
profitable account. Horses, cattle,
hogs, sheep, chickens, eggs, potatoes,
fruit-all find ready market, and |
fair prices, at our furnaces and mines.
Perhaps there has been greater i'm
provement in the cultivation of fruit,
than in any other branch of farming.
Fifty years ago the people depended
largely for fruit upon wild fox-grapes,
fall-grapes, winter-grapes, wild plums,
blackberries, black haws, mulberries,
buckle berries, and even crab apples.
The orchards consisted Of miserable
apples, but one remove from
the wild crab apple. Peaches were
only one degree above the bitter al
mond, from which they are derived.
The little sour apples were gathered
ate in the fall and put in pile on
5he ground and covered with straw
md then with dirt, and late in the
winter, or in the spring, they became
mellow enough to be eaten, when
here was no better fruit.
At some Of our literary associations

rast with the modern improved style

Ceramic Art in japan.

who, when the son Of mikado died, were
buried with him. Previous to the intro

servants. These servants we're buried in.

Of the dying people one day that he in

possible substitute for the barbarous Gus

sin, aud is made 10 it the foot. aud not
the foot to fit il, as Is the case very often
with ourselves and boots. Mo.casins are
made by the squaws aud old men, The
sole is Inst cut out Of green hide, aud then
the uppers ere cut from buck antelope or
elk skin, tanned very soft and smooth.
Deer skin is best when shoes are TO be or
namented with beads, sud the top is
always worked before it is secured TO the
sole The uppers arc sewed to the soes
with strong thread made Of sinew, and
sometimes a double sole is used to protect
the thread. To the sides or back part
flaps or ears are sewed, which come well
up on the ankles, aud are tied with strings.
Often these flaps cover the leg, aud are
tied at the top by two long strings, in the
same way that u woman ties her apron.
This is done when the moscasin is made
for hunting or going on long journeys, as
the high tops not only brace the leg, but
prevent the moccasin from slipping on the
foot, and they keep out the dust, brambles
gravel. cold aud snow. Il is no very
great task to make plain moccasin, and
a squaw will cut out and sew up pair in
half day. IL they are beaded, low

Profits Of Orange Growing.

Mr.. Seth French, Of Jacksonville, Fla,
an old and experienced orange grower,
gives the following as an estimate Of the
cost Of an orange grove according to local
ity:-Cost Of ten acres Of land for grove,
$50 to 500; clearing, 800 to $3.50, fenc.
log, $50 to s75; breaking, $40 to s25;
setting out 500 trees, 5000 to $500; care
and fertilixing fye years, $500 to 81 900;
total cost, 1920 to 81 $40. In addition
to this the young trees cost, ready for
setting out, from thirty-6vc to fifty cents
each. At the age Of nine or ten years
frcm the seed the trees begin to produce,
the average being about 500 oranges To the
tree. For the next two years the increase
10 production is rapid, being about 900
oranges a tree each year. There arc
many trees 10 Florida that produce TO-.
900 oranges, but these are aged, having
been planted before the war. Oranges,
like apples, have their 'soif years, but al
fifteen years from the seed Il Is safe to say
that the trees win produce on an average
5000 oranges each. There are fifty trees
to one acre, according 70 Mr.. French
figures given above, though Il is usual 10
set out sixty. which al 3000 oranges per
tree, would give | 100000 oranges Us the
yield Of the ten acres. These az eenss
piece ss they hang on the tree, the aver
age price this season, would give sz2 800
off Of the ten acres. This estimate, let Il
be borne 10 mind, is a low one, for some
Floridians are this year getting s25 ,000
from six acres, The Florida orange crop
this year is much larger than ever before.
From such counties as are easily accessible
the figures point to crop Of about 4i0,-
900 boxes. In Patnam county alone the
1873 yield was nearly $500, 900 oranges,
and next year, with the large number Of
blooming trees that will come into bear
ing, the crop win amount to 25,00O.000
oranges. Il win require 4 train Of ten
cars once day for ninety days % trans

Intense as was the suppressed excitement

no trouble resulted. The Conservatives OF

composure.
1t is stated that Mr.. Gordon, the con-
tractor OF the street railway, estimates bis
profits for the first years operations at
S1S. 900. He has been offered $4,000 by a
city capitalist, and refused it. His lease
runs for five years; so he, at least, OF
northern settlers, will have no reason to re-
gret his removal 10 the solid South.
After the exposure at Richmond OF the
game attempted by Loveland and Burr,
several straight-out Republican leaders
here, including Captain Wilson, the post
master aud chairman Of the Radical Dis
trict Committee, endeayored to detach the
negroes from the support Of the Readiuster
congressional ticket. A meeting was held
for the purpose at their hall on Twelfth
street, but the negroes proved not only
entirely intracfable, but even insulting and
menacing to their would-be advisers. The
epithets, {" liars" traitors" and such like,
are said TO have been freely banded, and
the coIored brethren were finally left alone
in the undsturbed support OF the Frazier
ticket.
