According to the correspondent Of an
English trade journal, 1t is a mistake to
suppose that fruit ia absolutely necessary
to the manufacture Of preserves. He de
scribes visit to q large jam.producing
factory, IN which he found that the work
was being bravely carried on without the
aid Of fruit at all. Jams of various kinds
were being produced before his cyes-cur-
rant plum, apricot, strawberry. raspberry,
and gooseberry. Yet neither currant,
plum, strawberry, apricot, raspberry nor
gOoseberry was IN the building. Turnips
served the purposes of the fruit. The fla
voring matter was extracted from coal tar,
and the resemblance to raspberry and
strawberry jam was further produced by
mixing the boiling compound with small
seeds of some cheap innocuous herb. A
common form of sugar Is used, and this is
the only honest ingredient of the mess.
These preserves are offered as made from
"this seasons fruit"

Effects OF Draining.

3D.. The ammonia is carried down into
the soil by the descending rain, stored for
the plant food instead OF stopping on the
surface and passing off by evaporation, or
borne away with the surface waste.

ing after harvest, they form, this subsoil
into surface soil, providing resources for
the plant more reliable. and making the
same ground better for greater length OF
time.

plant to thrust its roots deeper into the
soil.
9th. The drainage increases the tenn
perature of the SOIL In some cases the
average has been increased as much as ten
degrees.
7th. BY securing uniformity of con-
dition for plant growth, it hastens the ma
turing OF the crop from ten days to two
weeks.
Sth. 1t enables the farmer to work his
land in wet or dry seasons, and insures a
return for the lal or bestowed.
With our land thoroughly drained we
can carry on the operation OF farming with
as great success and as little effect from
bad weather as any business which de-
ponds on such variety OF circumstances.
We shall have substituted certainty tor
chance, as far as it is In our power to do
so, and made farming an art rather than a
venture.

A EnOn SHOMINR.

Whether christianity is going forward
or backward is subject which is just
now agitating the churches. The
growth of christianity, the world over,
if not satisfactory to the churches, is, at
least, shown to be very rapid.
Rev. c. H. FOWLER, of Chicago, pre-
sented some facts and figures in SER
mon, the other day, that, if accurate,
make an exceedingly good showing.
He stated that the people living under
christian governments in the year 1900
numbered 100000, 900; in 1900, 2OO, 0O0.-
900; 1876, TS7,OO0,OO0. In the eighty
years from 1900 to 1880, the English
speaking people increased S37 per cent.
OR from p, 900, 900 to $1,000, 0OO-while
the church showed an increase of $50
per cent, and those of no faith less than
100 per cent. In the United States, in
1900 there was one communicate for
every las inhabitants; in 1850, one for
6.5S; in 1870, one for STA; in 1879, one
for every sis.
America is doing a little better than
the rest of the world. OF course, the
number of communicates does not de-
termine the number of true christians,
for there are thousandsof communicates
who areinot christians, and thousands
of christians who are not communicates;
hut these figures give an approximate
idea Of the growth of religions.

THE WEST VIRGINIA HORSE.

One of the most peculiar species OF
property marketed on the West Nir-
ginia farm is the horse.
The West Virginia horse is unlike
any other horse Of any other State or
locality. He has no pedigree that any
bOdy wants to know or that anybody
essays to brag on. He has no special
points that mark his nativity or put a
special value upon him in the eyes of
purchaser. He is not a pretty horse,
with high head and flowing name and
lofty step that the esthetic man Of
wealth would like to hitch to his car
riage. On the contrary he is usually a
rough horse, of angular build if large,
or unstylish and bunchy, if small.
Yet, for all that, the West Virginia
horse is salable. Every "serub" that
grows up on West Virginia farm finds
a market. He don't sell for much, but
he sells. He sells chiefly because he can
he relied on as hardy creature which
has been raised without much care and
no currying, and twill stand the
knocks" He will live on as little and
endure as much neglect and exposure
as any other horse. Better than all, he
is cheap.
In other words, if West Virginia has
any reputation in the horse marts Of the
country, it is for raising hardy class of
scrubs" which don't cost much, and
are not worth much, but have their
uses among the various industries ofthe
city where hard work and no style are
the considerations. In fact, that is all
the reputation the average West Yir-
ginia farmer cares to cultivate, and
standing almost alone in this regard, our
State has quite monopoly of the
Iscrub' market. There are a few
farmers here and there over the State,
and we belieyethenumberi is increasing,
with a pride for the thorough bred
horse, but they are, as yet, the excep-
ton.
This popularity of the West Virginia
horse market is all the more peculiar
when we reflect that We are side by side
with State that raisesthe finest horses
in the world. Kentueky's pride in
horse flesh is not less pronounced, if
possible, than West Virginia's mdiffer-
ence.
Itmay, however, be matter worthy
the consideration of the West Virginia
farmer, whether an improved class of
horses Is not the next best aspiration Of

THERAILROAD RELATIONS.

VANDERBILT, GOULD and some other
railroad kings are just now in great
haste to forestall the report Of Messrs.
THURMAN, Cooley and WAsHECRNE,
the Advisory Commission which they
recently selected to settle the disputes.
This seems to be the meaning of the
forty OF fifty pages which they telegraph
ed over the country, "free of tolls" on
Thursday.
VANDERBILT hastens to declare that
the railroad war is over, that they have
of course they have-established a
pool, and that everything will now be
lovely for fiveyears to come.
He has no hesitation in believing that
the suggestions OF the Advisory Conn
mission, although not yet ready, will be
i'll entire harmony with the action
which the railroad bosses have taken in
advance oftheir report, and with view
of multiplying their report.
But, said a reporter to VANDERBILT,
''The question of diffarential rates has
not been decided, and the Advisory
Committee has no power" the reporter
suggested.
''That is very true" Mr.. Vanderbilt
replied, "but | anticipate q decision
that will be 90 oss-isontly int chat che
railroads will accept 1t without word
of dissent. You see this matter of
differential rates has become a national
question OF vast Importance. 1t has
PASSED out of the hands of railroads,
partly because of its very Importance,
but mainly because railroad men
showed themselves incompetent to
handle it. Their views were narrow
and their opinions were warped by per-
Sonal feelings and official interests. Be
cause they were unable to determine
the question, suggested, some months
ago, that it should be left to arbitration,
and that the business men of the cOun-
try should give it thorough eXamina-
ton and discussion. From that sugges-
ton, believe, has sprung the Advisory
Commission which Is now considering
the subject. Certainly the men who
constitute that Commission are men OF
ability, of fairness and Of practical wis
dom. No better men, probably, could
have been selected, and the result OF
their deliberations will be accepted by
the world as the most just conclusion
that could be reached. | presume the
officers of the railroad companies will
accept it as the basis of settlement.
Certainly, | shall be willing to do so If
ii will give my roads 3 chance to live.

Better Let Up.

We suggest that West Virginia now let
up OH its railroad war. The attempt to
regulate freights by law has proven fail
ure. AT each session of the Legislature
much time has been spent in endeavoring
to accomplish this object. 1t seems ridicu'
lous that State like West Virginia, having
so few railroads, and at time when our
newspapers are teeming with articles look
ing to the building of new railroads
through the State that legislative war
should be waged with such violence against
the only road in the State. Build more OF
them, and the rate of freights will soon
regulate itself. The bill before the Legis-
lature has been again defeated and it is
hoped that We have now heard the last

THE immigration to this country for
the month of February, 1882, is nearly
double that of the preceding February.
For 1882 it is p, pa, while for last year
it was l5,075. For the eight months
ending February %, 1882, the immigra-
ton was 375,09l, an increase of twenty
five per cent. over the same period last
year. This indicates anything but a
falling off in immigration. The Chi
nese are making hay while the sun
shines; 1889 came last month against
3O4 in the preceding February. The
sixty days after the passage of the bill
will doubtless see a large increase in the
Chinese immigration in anticipation Of
its then suspension for twenty years, ac-
eording to the terms of the act. From
Europe the immigration from Germa-
ny, Ireland, England, Canada, Austria
and Sweden show the largerpercentages
of increase.

hogs packed was 5,lO0,9s4, being
65l,7 O7 less than the number for the
year ending March /, 1881. This de-
crease has resulted from the foreign
"trichina scare" principally, butother
causes have also had weight in deter
mining it.

of having easily at hand rope which

The problem of throwing the rope with
ease and certainty is one which has been
engaging the thought of practical and
humane persons like General MEIGS, of
Washington. He has been experiment
ing with srchers, shooting arrows with
a line attached, and the result has been
encouraging. Areport says: IAN ar

of our firemen will be able to throw the

five feet above the pavement, or to
throw small ball of Irvine as high as

Irvine will hold the weight of one
