What the New Stamps Cost.

''How much do you suppose the
new stamps cost the government"
was asked the other day by Assistant
Postmaster General Hazen, writes a
Washington correspondent. you
don't know, but I'll tell you-just 81
cents per 1000. They cost the con-
tractors more than that. The plates,
paper, printing, perforating and put
ting on the mucilage is worth some
thing; then they must be packed and
done up in high-priced envelopes
Half the postoffices do not cali for
more than 100 stamps at a time, but
have to go through the same routine
as in filling an order for millions for
New York. 1t costs them more than
they get" Where is the profit in the
contract. l naturally asked Right
here" was the response. 'All the
countries on this continent south of
us have their postage stamps made in
this country. They prefer the con-
Germ which supplies our government.
This is the American Bank Note
Comany of New York But they
have to pay from five to ten times the
price we pay, and they never find
fault. There's where our profit comes
in from making stamps, 1t is the on
ly way to secure these other good con-
tracts People have often wondered
why the Government, with its
great bureau of printing and engrav-
ing here in Washington, is always
underbid by outside parties in the
stamp and postal note contracts. Per-
haps they will see more clearly after
reading this paragraph.

Close Planting.

The Farming World says: every
farmer must know that to produce the
heaviest possible crop certain number
of stalks must be upon the ground. 1t
is often observed that the great sin of
American agriculture is too thin SOW
ing" The first proposition we will adj
init is really true, "that certain num-
Der of stalks must be upon the ground"
But the question is, What number is
thatp We do not think that as rule
the husbandmen of the United States
SOW too little seed. The amount of
seed required to insure a good crop
varies and cannot be determined, for SO
much depends upon the season. In
cool, backward season grain will stool
much more than in warm, forward
one, and old, long cropped land requires
more seed than rich, new land. If grain
is sown too thickly the straw will be
fine and the heads short, two of which
will not yield as much as one good large
head that has had ample room to grow
in. Our opinion is that as general
thing the crops are too closely planted
in this country. With the exception of
grass, we believe in light seeding.
However, grass should be sown thickly,
the ground well and prevent the growth
of weeds. The same authority saws
that in England they sow four
and five and sometimes six bushels
of oats to the acre; in this country
not more than bushel or a
bushel and a half This is a mistake.
as the rule is to sow from two to three
bushels of oats and from five pecks to
two bushels of wheat to the acre. Hence
in England they yield three or four
times as heavy as in this country. Eng
land does grow large crops of oats, but
we do not think the same seed upon the
same soil in this country would produce
more if four bushels were sown to the
acre than if two and half bushels were
sown. 1t has long been mooted ques-
ton with farmers what amount of seed
TO SOW, and with various soils and
seasons great variety of results
have been obtained and very diff
ferent conclusions have been arrived at.
There is really more difference in seed
than is generally conceded. A bushel of
well-cleaned, plump grains of wheat,
where every grain is sound and will
produce healthy stalk, is better sown
on good land than bushel and half
uncleaned, full of filth, cracked grains
and dwarfed kernels, that if they do
have life enough to terminate, will at
best but put forth sickly, puny stalks.
Knowing your land and being careful Of
the seed, any farmer of experience and
careful observation can tell pretty close
ly the quantity of seed to SOW. 1t is
well to experiment in this direction
little.-Sdn francisco Chronicle.

whisky.s,muggling IN the Highlands.

The Hghlanders have fallen into
their old besetting sin of whisky-smug-
cling in Perth, Aberdeen, Inverness,
Ross. and other northern counties. Con-
sfeieririg the ,lifiicalties which the excise
officers have to contend with ere one
single detection is made, and also bear
ing in mind That all the illicit distilleries
discovered bore unmistakable evidence
of having been for u long time in opera
ton, it may safely be concluded that
there is great number of them still I'M
detected among the wild corries in the
Highlands. 1t is well known thai con-
siderable proportion of the Struggled
liquor finds its way into the neighboring
villages, and still more extensively into
Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glas-
gov, and other large towns, where it
commands fancy price among High
landers. The price in the Highland vii
lagos varies greatly. Where it is with
difficulty disposed of it commands not
more than IS. a gallon, but in other dis
tricts, where it is greatly sought after,
1Ss. gallon is freely given; and In the
larger towns there seems to be no diff
Guilty in disposing of it by underground
agencies at even q higher price than
the best Islay at Campbelltown. The
underground agency" without whose
aid the Highland smuggler could not
carry on his trade, has hitherto baffled
detection. 1t is notorious that at the half
yearly farm-servants' term many sub
stantial-looking chests are sent by rail
to private addresses in various towns in
the south, and the knowing ones say
these chests are lined inside with zinc,
and chung full " hold many gallons
without detection. 1t is also freely
stated that not every farmers cart which
comes into the northern town in the
early morning contains nothing but
buttermilk" The smuggler's profit
must be large, seeing that the licensed
distiller can sell proftably after paying
los. Cd. per gallon of duty. But, not
withstanding his high profits, the mod
ern Highland smuggler has as great a
struggle to make ends meet as his neigh
bors, and cases are very rare indeed
in which he makes fortune Glas-
