BHFoRE another issue OF this paper shall
reach our readers the new year will be here
Now, We want to urge every farmer who
reads the HUsBANDMAN 10 keep a correct
expense account for the coming year. We
have often mentioned this matter. and in
this instance take time by rhe tore-top ii or
der that they may begin with the beginning
Of the year. Ahd when 1884 shall have
come and gone we want them to be able to
tell what each product cost them also what
their living expenses outside OF the farm
productions have been also what their ia
come from stock. hogs, dairy. poultry, etc..
has been They will then know whether
farming pays or not. If grain can be grown
in Montana at half cent per pound we
want 10 know it, and if it costs one cent a
pound we want to know it also, for it cannot
be sold very long for less than the cost of
production. Formers as a rule are too care
less in this matter. Farming should be car
ried on just as any other business. and when
1t cannot be made to pay reasonable per
cent. en- the Investment, it is time to look
out tor something else. We are well aware
that the industry will not now pay u, Is
and IS per cent. per annnm on the nvest-
ment. There are, in faGr, few industries
that will average this. Bat as six and seven
per cent. is all that oar banks allow on de
posts, the farmer can consider himself
lucky if he makes this amount. And since
this country is advancing rapidly and the
annual Increase in the value of the land is
equal 70 the interest on the Investment, the
farmer may be coutent for few years ii he
only makes wages for himself and teams
and reasonable amount TO pay for the wear
and tear OF the farm machinery. In a few
years things will right themselves. If Il
market is not developed so that our agricui-
tarat population can bend their energies to
the industry, they viii gradually turn to
some other calling. We are not alarmed,
nor are We at all surprised, by the present
state Of affairs. We are confident that farm
ing and It's kindred pursuits is still the best
industry in the country, bur It is necessary
that those engaged ia It he mere careful is
to their TRANSACTIONS and above all things
keep an account Of their operations, so that
they will know what they are doing tlnau-
cially.

A NORWEGIAN botanisG, Professor Schube-
Ter, states that most plants in high lautudes
produce larger and heavier seeds than in re-
gions nearer the equator-an effect he as
cribeS 10 the prolonged influence of sunlight
during tile summer days in high latitndes.
In some cases The difference OF seed deyel-
opment is astonishing. Dwarf beans taken
from Christiania to Drontheim-less than
four degrees further north-gained more
than sixty per cent. in weight; and thyme
from Lyons, when planted at Drontheim
showed a gain OF seventy-one per cent The
leaves also of most plants are larger and
mere deeply colored in high latitudes, The
same is true OF flowers, and many which
are white in Southern climates become vio-
let in the far North.

oUIE1 AMONG THE CIGAR-MAKERs.

There has been no further difficulty among the
cigar-makers. All the strikes have been declared
at an end and while there no Progressive Union
men employed in the factories OF Heyman Bros,
and Loewenstoin and T. Gutenberg IL Bro, they are
not pIcketed, and are gradually being filled up by
International and non-union men. During the
strike III Frey Bros. factory there were fifty non
union cigar, makers employed. These were dig
charged on tho settlement of the strike aud imme-
diately sought and found employ ment at Gutenberg
d Bros. While outwardly things are regarded as
quiet, both sides look upon the condition of affairs
as more q temporary cessation OF hostilites than
lasting peace and the manufacturers as we'll as the
Progressive Union are strengthening their positions
aud making preparations Tor the struggle which
they feel Is coming soon the busy season 10
over. Secretary Woylsek says that the Progressive
Union will have $4,000 in the treasury within
three months, and II the manufacturers want 20
facturers say thai they satisfied with tue posi-
ton of affairs and will not make the first aggressive
movement.
