From the Globe we take the following
items =
People are beginning to evince little
interest even in " the weather." that
unfailing topic, concerning which no two
Englishmen can possibly meet without an
interchange of mutual experience and
observation. Bnt as this is a topic which
has been scientifically demonstrated TO be
intimately connected with our prosperity,
we are glad to report that there has been
a good rainfall during the month, and
that it has been distributed more impair
TALLY than the weather returns occasional
ly Indicate. The country is covered from
one end to the other with green vegeta-
ton, and q trip on the Railway has
induced an acquaintance to furnish us
with q most glowing verbal account OF
the appearance of the canefields, in the
valley of st. George and along the line
to Carrinqtons. in ST. Philip. We have,
however, learnt from more practical sour
ces that the appearance of the cane crop
generally is most promising, and that
if none of those evils, which the cane IS
" heir to-" intervene, we may anticipate
an abundant harvest for 1852. We are
glad to learn that the appearance Of the
provision fields is encouraging. aud !" COM
ing events' in the vegetable line have
been heralded by the appearance in the
market of vans Of the new crop, which
are moreover of good quality. With the
favourable weather the native esculents
should cut d respectable figure at the
forthcoming Exhibition of the Agricultural
Society which, by the way, is announced
for the 18th December and is to be held on
the spacious grounds of" Queens House,
the official residence of the General Officer
in Command.
The shipments Of the Crop of 1881
amount to 52,021 hogsheads Sugar and
32,64s pun cheons Of Molasses. We believe
that the delivery of two small lots to ves-
sells now in Harbour, will bring the ship
ments to a close.

Estates IN lots, ana mus forming a
peasant proprietary. and it may be
this plan would succeed. 1t would at
any rate tend to help the people to
help themselves, and to raise them
from their present state Of helpless
ness and sloth it would enable the
rising generation to some extent to
value family ties, and to set a value
on honest labour.
If we review the state Of the world
generally, we find it to be composed
of two classes Of people, those who
rule and those who serve. OF these
two classes the world has always
been composed, and Of these two
classes it will, as fax as can be con
iectured, ever consist. In old DAYS
torture and the lash compelled one
sectio ON OF the community to serve
the other, then came payment in
money for daily work, and, of late
years, payment in money, not for
daily work, but for work actually
done.
Ills laSt system, payment TOT
work actually done, is apparently
gaining ground everywhere. If we
look at England we find all her great
mining industries are worked entire
ly on the system of payment for work
done. If we look at America we find
the same thing there, payment accord
ing to results or work done, from
the cutting and storing Of ice on the
Hudson to the killing and cutting up
Of hogs at Chicago. In the East
Indies the same system prevails
amongst the Coffee Planters, planting
is paid for by results and wedding,
picking the coffee berries, carting the
produce &c. treated in the same way.
Nearer at home. we have Barbados
Nnd other Islands working on the
same lines as the resi- OF the world
generally, while here in ST. CroiX the
system is hardly anywhere to be
observed.
In the payment by results, as
opposed to payment by the day, it
must be patent to everyone that the
best man must come at once to the
front. His greater strength, his
greater diligence or his greater intel
ligence than the others, meets with its
due reward in the shape Of increased.
pay, and this increased pay tends to
foster an honest spirit of emulation
amongst each and all Of his fellow
workers. Forsaking the usual Gus
tom of doing no more than they are
possibly obliged, and that too in the
most sullen and discontinued way,
the people generally will work cheer
fully and hard, and, while earning
increased pay for themselves, will
give still further increased work in
return, to the manifest advantage Of
the Planter and the comfort and
mutual satisfaction Of both sides.
In the cultivation of sugar there is
very little that cannot he paid for by
results. A really good manager and
one who knows his work can at once
tell what is a fair price for planting
and wedding, while as for cutting and
carting of the canes to the mill a
scale or weigh-bridge alone is needed
to enable this, probably the most labo-

Inc lOW-cart men VII! hnd their
OWL cutters, provide their own bills,
and, working early and late, can get
through an amount of work that is as
astonishing as it is satisfactory. In
the employment of low-carts no
driving is required, and but little
supervision. The cart-man will not
hire a cutter and then leave any of
the canes (cut at his expense) lying
about. Therefore there are few, ifany,
"plck-up" canes to be found after he
has cleared off and gone to another
piece. The cart-manalso is fully aware
that the heaviest part Of the cane lies
at the butt end, and that, however
much the village hogs may suffer,
topping as high as is practicable, is
the best thing for himself. Again the
cutter will not cut faster than the
loW-cart can carry, and therefore if
from any reaso The mill should
have to stop suddenly, there
are few if any canes left in the piece
to spoil. The ordinary mule and OK
arts of the estates must undoubtedly,
from their weight, do a great deal of
damage in passing over the d" stools"
with the low-cart it is, as a rule,
left in the range and the canes car
ried to it on the head. 1t has been
said that the low-cart system is only
applicable to estates situated near
the town, from whence low-carts
a be procured; but as ten low-caits
may be considered as sufficient for
every hundred hogsheads of sugar
made in the season, planters should
apparently, not have much difficulty
in fostering the required number u
carts in their own villages. An
objection has also been raised that
canes cut by this system are cut
badly bur, as we have shewn, it is to
the peoples interest TO cut as low as
possible, and it is also very much to
their interest to have their bills as
sharp as they can grind them. When
crop is over abundant use can be
made of the low carts in the carriage
OF manure [by weight of counsel
These little carts can get into the
ranges with but little injury to the
growing canes, and the people who
formerly acted as cutters, can now
be ayailed Of for the purpose Of car-
TYIng this manure, at SO much per
hundred pounds, into the pieces, and
moulding it over. With a scale or
weighbridge, on the estate, the low
cart a be made use of for the cart
age Of sand, stone, bricks, lime, and
supplies Of various kinds, and, SC
long as the clerk or subordinate at
the weighing office does his duty
honestly, the Estate pays for no
more than it actually receives in the
way Of sup plies or work.
At the present time the mule and
ox-carts Of the estates may daily be
seen coming out of town with a load
of dry grass &c. averaging in weight
not three hundred pounds, perhaps
considerably less. The carts them
selves weigh some six or seven hun
dred pounds, and it seems to be a
question whether the grass &c. SO
acquired is worth the wear and tear
of harness &c. and the waste of axle
