SOUR ORANGES.
ICapital and Labor.1

Tt is well known that in Loulsl-
ana the sour orange is generally
wasted. Let as see what could be
done with it:
Eighty trees can be planted on
one acre of ground, which, under
high cultivation, would give, when
six years old, 1900 oranges apieeeS
three oranges can give ponnd OF
nice preserves, which are readily
sold; therefore, one tree bearing
1900 oranges would give 600 pounds
of preserves, which. multil lied by
50, the number of trees in one acre,
would give $4,000 pounds.
If, to make those $4,000 pounds
of preserves, we take AZ, 200 pounds
of sugar, and we sell those pre-
serves ut Is cents per pound (which
is cheap enough,) it would give us
IS, 900 multiplied by Is. or $1,000.
Let us take off As, 900, the sugar.
multiplied by s, the price of tie
sugar, or S34S0, the difference
would be S336O.
Now, so orange trees can pro-
duce enough flowers to give 1000
bottles of syrup--orangeAower syr-
up sells for So per dozen, or so
cents per bottle, which would DO
equivalent to $500. It takes II
pound of sugar to make one bottle
OF syrup-for 1000 bottles it would
require 1910 multiplied by 8, equal
to $l2O, which, taken off from
$500, would leave $3.50. These
added to $1,000 would be equal to
$3740. Let US deduct so per cent.
for expenses and handling, and We
would have left $3.50, as the pro-
duct of one acre of ground planted
in sour oranges and manufactured
into preserves.
Let us remark here, that the
juice of the sour orange makes an
excellent wine, which, if we take
into consideration the ravages of
the phylloxera and the possible de-
struction of the grapevine m many
l. ealities. may be, one day, resorted
to as an important source of reve-
nue..

One healthy, wholesale veto from
President Arthur, of the first

than any thing else to strengthen
his hold upon the confidence of the
nation.-Ne,c York Herald.
The President should be very
careful how he vetoes schemes of
jobbery, unless he desires to go
into the vetoing business on the
wholesale. and has plenty of time
to devote to that purpose.

LETTER FROM MEXICO.
TLAeorALpAa, STATE OF VERA Cruz,
MEXICO, Feb. 20, 1882.

take plSaSuTe III SAhS
account of what / have seen at the
different places have visited since
my letter I arrived at Aiyarado
on the second of February. we
assembled the river Papapoloapam,
to the beautiful town of Tlacotal-
pam, twenty-five miles above Alva-
RADIO Bay. This little town con-
tains 5000 souls. The land be-
tween Alvarado and Tlacotalpam Is
mountainous on the east side and
low and marshy on the west side
of the river, and consequently is
worthless for farming purposes;
but above Tlacotalpam, to Cosomol-
oapam, another town, thlrty-slx
miles up the river. the land rises
gradually, and presents to the ssran-
ger u garden of the finest kind OF
bananas, cocoa nuts, mangoes,
pineapples, and a variety OF many
other tropical fruits.
MIR. George Holzheimer, a Ger
man, took me ont to his farm, one
mile from the town OF Cosomoloa-
pam. Here I saw 10000 coffee
trees. They were picking the ripe
coffee from the trees. l noticed,
very particularly, that the trees
were full of new blossoms, for more
coffee, which will ripen in six OF
seven weeks. / saw ripe oranges
hanging Oh the trees, and green
oranges, the size of hens egg,
while thousands of blossms per-
fumed the place, all hanging on the
same tree. ! also saw. on the same
farm, about twenty acres in cotton,
all in blossom, with 80 to 20 bolls
on each stalk. This cotton was
only scraped and laid by. | saw
corn of all sizes growing, from one
to six feet high.
1 visited the plantation of San
Augustin. There they have steam
mill. Sugar and aguardienta are
made in large quantities.
| From Tlacotalpaln to Cosmoloa-
pam, a distance of thirty-six miles,
to say nothing of the five or six
small towus between, the west side
of the riTer is all under cultivation.
We saw eight or ten steam sugar
mills and two cotton gins, between
Tlacotalpam and Cosomoloapam.
The grass here looks like young
oats in May. It is cut and sold In
the towns by the docile Mexican
Indians. / visited all these little
towns, in company with Yoltaire
Baham and Antoine Beltramo, who
are delighted with the poor mans
country" We have some objec-
tions to the land above mentioned,
Notwithstanding its fertility. as it
is overfowed every three or four
years. We have learned, from re-
liable persons, that San Andres
Tuxtla is much more fruitful. The
land is very high and exceedingly

but principally tobacco. This sec

there. Fish and venison are cheap

The Curse Of the Credit System in
the South.

The New York Times, in a
well considered article on the
credit system, in general, thus
alludes to its damaging effects
in the south: Not long ago
the largest wholesale grocery
firm in Atlanta failed, with
nominal assets of $4,000 and
liabilities amounting to SI25,-
600. They had sold heavily to
country merchants, and were
driven to make an assignment
by their inability to collect
what was due them. The fail
ure of a large commercial fer
tilizer house in Baltimore was
due mainly to the same cause.
The creditors of most of these
concerns have very little reason
to hope for anything like full
payment. This is not the case
where improvement in the trade
or the removal of the cause of
depression will relieve embar-
raised debtors. The credit sys-
TEN in the south is one of yearly
accounts, and if the balance is
on the wrong side at the end of
one season it is useless to ex-
pect that the next years crop
will make good the loss. The
planters are not yet a provident
class; and, whether the crop be
large OF small, it is too often
eaten up by the merchants adj
vances. This years crop will
pay this years debt-not last
years.

A Cows Cud.

The situation, the structure
and the size of the rumen or
paunch point it out as the first
and general receptacal for the
food, which received in the
mouth only sufficient mastica-
ton to enable the animal to
swallow it. When swallowed it
is received by the rumen, and
morsel after morsel is taken I'M
til this, the first of the animals
four stomachs, is comparatively
full. A sense Of repletion pre-
cedes rumination, during which
act the animal generally pre-
fers a recumbent posture. 1t
is not to be supposed that all
the food taken is again rumina-
ted ; it is only the bulky or
solid portions that undergo the
process. When the rumen is
moderately full, it will contract
on its contents, and first squeeze
out the fluid portions, which will
pass into the third and fourth
stomachs, while the solid part
will be embraced by the eso-
phagus, or stomach pipe. and
return to the mouth. By the
term "loss Of cud" is meant a
cessation of the chewing of the
cud, which occurs as a symp-
tom of most internal diseases of
cattle.

Coed Seed Corn.
Rural World:

Rural World:
We predict there will be a
good deal of grief expressed by
farmers the coming season, be-
cause their seed corn fails to
terminate. There will be a
great deal of replanting done.
There is less good seed corn in
the country than we have ever
known before. 1t behooves
every farmer to see to it at
once that the best seed corn be
procured that the country af-
fords. Good crops can only be
raised from good seed. Seed
that is planted a second time to
ill up the gaps of the first plan
ted, never produces much of a
yield. Begin right, by prepar-
ing the land properly, and then
putting in good seed and then
give proper cultivation and a
big crop will be the reward.

me- paIry Business Rural world.

The magnitude and impor-
lance of the dairy business is
comparatively unknown to the
average farmer. 1t is only when
we read the proceedings Of
some important gatherings, like
that recently held at Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, that we can form
some idea of this industry, and
the capital represented and in
volved. The past year was re-
markably remunerative to the
butter makers throughout the
country. Iowa especially made
a showing that was astounding.
Formerly, the state enjoyed a
great reputation for wheat and
corn growing, but now it is
coming to the front as one of
the greatest dairy states, the
records disclosing a list that
embraces already five hundred
diaries, all making money.
Many of the wheat and corn
fields are turned into pastures
to meet the dairymans wants.
It is so much easier and less
expensive to reach and find
market for butter than for corn
and wheat. In fact, but little
percentage of its value is re-
CURED to pay freight on it to
the most distant market. In this
connection it may be added
that the speediest way to
crush the bogus butter bust
ness, is to have an abundance
of the genuine article. 1t will
do it more effectually than all
the lawsthat can be devised,
and at less expense,
