Agriculture and its Relation to Young
Men.
New York Shining List. ]

New York Shipping List.l
X \ Agriculture always has
been, and must continue to be for gem
erations, the chiefindustry of the United
States. Young men are disposed, and
with some justice, to complain that all
the vacations are overcrowded, and that
for every vacant clerkship in the cities
and large towns there are score Of ap-
plicants. 1t is also made theme Of
lament that the professions are toe full,
and young men who have q moderate
capital and some business capacity and
experience declare that in mercantile
pursuits competition is ruinous, and
that small sum of money IS of little ac-
count in the settled communities.
Granting that these complaints are well
founded, there is a field still open for
energy, skill and ambition. The pro-
blem of how to make a living can be
perhaps more satisfactorily solved by
falling back on the soil than by any
other experiment. Notwithstanding
the rapid increase of population through
immigration and natural growth there
is still vast area of cheap virgin lands
/ in the West and South, and if young
man lacks money to farm on large
scale, he can begin in smaller way,
and by stock raising, cultivating fruit
and garden truck can earn d comforta-
BILE living, and with reasonable exemp-
ton from misfortune secure in time 4
moderate competence. There are hun
dreds of young men in cities who, with
good health and willing hands could, il
( they would, save enough money in a
/ few years to buy snug little farm that
would, properly managed, afford them
at least good living. With all the
/ hardships Of farm life, and they have
been greatly exaggerated, II Is the hap
piest life known to man. 1t is treer
from the pickering, the worriments and
/ the tortuous devices, and the selfish riv-
alries and the antagonisms that mark
the struggle Of humanity for food, shell
ter and clothing than any other mode OF
existence II IS q life, too, which is
commonly attended with health and an
untroubled conscience. The man who
gets fairly under way in this pursuit with
his house, his lands and his crops I'M
embarrassed is certainly an Independent
man, if such a being exists and to be
ones own master is thing to be covet-
ed. Agriculture in this country is Il
field that is ever open, and there is no
danger Of its being over-crowded for
generations to come. There will always
be a tendency to rush into the cities for
/ the excitements that flourish there, and
/ the wise and ardent young men who
turn their backs on these false shows
and 90 straightway to nature will come
out best in the long run. They will
have made q good and substantial living,
whilst the spendthrifts Of the cities are
wondering how it can be done. The
new States, the Territories and the
South offer welcome, and the generous
soil contains rich rewards for those who
are deserving.

when to cut Grasses.

The report of the analytical chemist
of the Department of Agriculture, sum
ming up the results of analysis of near
ly all the cultivated grasses, says:
1t is apparent then, that in most
cases the time of bloom, or thereabout,
is the fttest for cutting grasses in order
to obtain the most nourishment and lar
gest relatively profitable crops, and for
the following reasons The. amount of
water in the grass has diminished and
the shrinkage will therefore be less.
The weight of the crop will be largest
in proportion to the nutritive value of
its constituents. The amount of nitro
gen not present as albuminoids viii be
at its lowest point; fiber will not be so
excessive as to prevent digestion, and
the nutritiYe ratio viii be more adyan-
tageous.
s.Ifcut earlier the shrinkage Is larger,
although the fiber is less and albumen
is little larger. The palatability may
be increased. but the total nutriments
to the acre viii not be so large and the
nutritive ratio viii be more abnormal. =
.sThe disadvantages eff late cutting
are evident in the increase of fibre, des-
troying the digestibility of the nutri-
ments and The falling off Of the albumen
By conversion into amides. This IS not
made up b the larger crop cut.

Trichin@ in Swine.

We have heretofore stated, without
reservation, our belief that when the
full array of facts were known in rela.
ton to the cause of trichina in swine,
it would be found that the difficulty
arises from the animals eating garbage
and vermin. Experiments which We
made some years ago fully satisfied us
of this. We made the statement then,
and now reiterate it, that trichina will
not be found in corn-fed hogs. The late
outbreak at Minnesota, Mimi, by
which large number of persons were
stricken, some of them fatally, was
traced to the eating of raw ham, and
it was found that the swine, forty in
number, were fed in pen adjoining a
Slaughter-house upon the offal of the
slaughter-house. The buildings were
also overrun with rats, one of the most
prolific sources of the disease. Subse-
quently the establishment and swine
were removed to another place, where
there were less rats, but still fed on the
ofal.-Prairie Farmer.

TIE LEAF AND THE BOOK.


Across the meadow-land together
A youth and merry maiden strayd,
Where grasses grew and purple heather,
Midst eheckered peeps OF sun and shade.
At last beside the river seated,
He took her book-this lover sage,
One fallen willow leaf seeretea,
Then slowly folded down the page.
Next year the maiden slowly strolling
Alone beside the rivers brim
Saw summer time to winter rolling,
An1 rested there TO think OF him.
Her eyes with sorrows tint were shaded,
Her book still pictured youth and age
The fallen willow leaf had faded
Where be had folded down the page.
Years after by the stream forsaken,
IL winter time she wandered forth;
Great forest trees with storms were shaken,
Sent from the Kingdom of the North.
She found the spot where they were seated
Before he left her for renown;
No willo8-leaf the book secreted,
Ba. life's sad page was folden down.

JosEPH HARRIS, of Rochester, in hi:
new seed catalogue, says garden seeds
should be covered only deep enough to
keep moist, and that small seeds. such
as oflettuce, radish, Drummond phlox,
aster, verbena and pansy need not be
covered deeper than sheet of writing
paper IS thick. If pressed in the sol
and kept moist, they need not be covered
at all. Petunia seeds are easily cover
ed so deep that they viii not grow, while
peas viii grow if covered two or three
inches deep. We may add tothe above
that for outdoor planting it IS a good
rule to cover seeds to a depth of three
to five times their diameter and no
more, so that large seeds like corn and
peas viii be many times deeper than
the minute seeds Of the portulacca.
All must have the three requisites Of
warmth, moisture and air lbut not
light and if buried too deep the air

What Manufacturing Does for City.

The annual report Of the Board Of
Trade of Cincinnati, which is about to
be issued, and has been compiled with
unusual care, viii show that there has
been an increase of thirteen per cent.
in manufactures during the year. The
total values Of the articles manufac-
tured was S204 ,079, 687, or an increase
over the previous year of s24, 726, 1870.
Upwards Of FIVE and a quarter million
dollars was added to the cash capital in
vested in manufacturing enterprises,
and employment was given to 5,334
more men than the preceding year.
The lines Of manufacture in which the
largest increase Of business Is reported
are carriages, boots and shoes, and to-
bacc0
In proportion to its previous volume,
10 industry, says the report, has shown
50 great an increase as that of the man
ufaeiure Of carriages, buggies, etc Its
extraordinary growth has attracted at
tenti0n to a greater extent at distant
points than here at home, and it has
given Cincinnati practical control OF
the trade throughout the greater part
Of the country. The market for the
low priced buggies made in Gin
cinnati extends to all parts Of the
country, and to all Of the Brit
ish North American possessions, while
buggy bodies and other parts have been
shipped to a considerable extent beyond
both Of the great oceans. During the
same period Cincinnati had become the
principal leather market in the West,
and the second in the country. 1t
ranks second in the manufacture OF
boots and shoes, and first in the pro-
duction Of harness. 1t possesses the
best facilities of any city in the country
for the production of leather ard leath-
err goods. As Il tobacco market the
city has, during the same period, grown
from the rank of second to that Of first
in the country. The manufacture of
clothing ranks third among the impGr-
tant industries, and fourth in point of
growth during the year. 1t is a signif
cant fact that such large gains should
have been made during a year specially
distinguished for strikes and for disas-
trous fires. Business was seriously
checked and invested capital lost, and
still there were large gains. The iron
strike of last summer resulted in Il
loss of one-third of the years business.
A noticeable feature in some lines of
manufacture is the fact that while the
product has been largely Increased, the
number of establishments have decreased
showing that the big concerns are alb
sorbing the little ones.

An Effect OF Cotton Mills South.
Chicago Iferald.]

Chicago Herald.
The agreement among the cotton
manufacturers of Philadelphia tC
shorten the production of the coarsel
class of fabrics has a significance which
does not appear on the surface. With
in the last eighteen months 81, 49,
$50, as is estimated by an expert, has
been invested in the South in cotton
machinery and operating capital, 361,-
900 new spindles being thus put in mo-
ton. These spindlcs are proportional
for spinning coarse numbers of yarn,
where the average production will be s
ounces per spindle at least, while the
fine numbers spun in the eastern mills
will average scarcely three ounces to
the spindle. As labor and fuel are
cheaper, as the raw cotton is received
at the factory door directly from the
neighboring field where it is grown,
and as the material is in the best posi-
bic condition for manufacturing, the
southern establishments have manifest
important advantages over their north
efn rivals. Plain coarse cotton goods,
such rs osnabergs, shirtings and sheet
ings, can be produced and sold at less
than will yield satisfactory profit in
the east. The tendency, therefore, con-
stantly growing in intensity and mo-
mentum, is to transfer to the south so
much of the cotton industry as relates to
the production of the coarse fabrics, and
to confine the northern enterprises to
the finer and finest goods. On account
of the very rapid spread of cotton
mills among the cotton fields, the fac
tories in the north are beginning visibly
to feel the effects of the southern
competition Indeed, the time cannot
be far distant when all our coarse
cottons viii be supplied from the cotton
belt; and the child is born who will see
the great mass of cotton manufacturing,
in all It's diversified branches, carried
on where the tleecy staple is cultivated.
New England is surely destined to lose
her aseendancy in thi. department of
reproductive industry. But the coun-
try at large will be benefited by the
change, The natural home of cotton
manufactures is where the raw material
is grown. They should have been in
close proximity long ago, and this would
have been the case except for the exis-
tence of slavery. When the south shall
become the recognized manufacturer of
her cotton, not only for domestic con
sumption, but also for foreign export,
the commercial relations arising out of
that condition will be SO many additional
ties to bind the union together, and the
sectional animosities of the present day
will have entirely disappeared.
