a publication just issued by the Agricul.

points are clearly set forth and firmly c.
tablished: that manufacturer add 10 tho
value Of farm land; that they increase the
farmers income; that they increase the
wages OF the farm laborer. Tho same
principle applies to diversified agriculture.
Again It Is shown that tho three values Of
land, income and wages increase as tho
proportion Of agriculturists 10 the whole
number Of workers decreases.
The test Is made by comparative tables

Observe the very great difference in
valued rs between the first class and the
tourth-as $685. to s5.1s. Farm land in
the firat class 10 worth seven fold as much
as In the fourth, though the latter embraces
the fertile lands Of Georgia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and
Arkansas with their great yield Of cotton,
sugar and rice. The first class includes the
great manufacturing States Of Massachu:

this first class Is also the District OF Colum-
bia, where but two per cent Of the popula.
ton are engaged in agriculture. This illus.

ton, there being but ls,146 acres OF farm
land in the District, valued at 5000 an acre,
the remainder being the land upon which
stands the growing city Of Washington.
In the second class the agricultural pop
ulahon is less than half, and here land
averages S3O.55, or six times as much as in
the lowest class. In this second class are
Vermont, New Hampshire. Maine, Della.

Feeding Corn to Fowls.

S''s~"''' 81 2 q ~. " ,1r -
In feeding for winter laying, the first rule
is that fowls will not lay when fed on corn
alone. The next thing is to know what.
when, and how to feed them. The "ieed.
ing Of whole corn and nothing else" does
make weak fowls in the spring. The fowls
stop Just short Of producing eggs, Wills
feeding corn with other food brings better
results. AT the same time fowls cannot, or
will not, lay without the corn. AS stated
before, corn 10 the staple grain, and when
kept within their reach they will consume
q less quantity than when it ia thrown
daily to them with no other feed. There

The Canned Goods Outlook.

The production of canned goods in Har.
ford county this year is likely TO he much
less tlian last year. Many persons will not
venture Into the business again and those
who say they will continue eXprcssa deter
nlination TO operate in smaller way than
heretofore, packing only what they can grow
themselves. An effort will also be made by
all the Gamers to reduce the cost of packing
their goods, and they will therefore sean
prices very closely before they make con-
cost of production and packing only goods
ofthc best quality it is believed the business
will yet yield a fair margin of profit to the
Gamer who grows his own produce or even
fair price.
why are New Jersey tomatoes quoted SO

question prop"undcd to II leading Philadcl
phia commission merchant.
Because" said he, "the Jersey pack is of
uniform good quality, and while many of
the Hartford brands are equal to and in many
cases better than those packed in New Jer-
scy, all of the Hartford packers have not exer-
cised ms much care rs they might have done
in canning their goods, thinking that being
sold sight unseen" slops will sell as well as
tomatoes. There is no reason" added the
merchant, "why Hartford canned goods
should not command the highest prices and
they will ifyour Gamers will do as well as
they know how to do"

Equal Taxation.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany is seeking to be relieved from paying
taxes on its line of railroad that will run
through this county. There is not one rea-
son That we can conceive that justifies any
such exemption. The Philadelphia branch is
not being built to accommodate the people of
Hartford county, but for the sole profit and
advantage of the Baltimore and Ohio Com
pany. Our people, about year ago, held
meetings and canvassed considerable part
of the county, securing for the Baltimore and
Ohio the right-of.way from the Gunpowder
river, through the richest and most prosper
GUS part of the county, to a crossing on the
Susquehanna where the bridge necessary
would not have cost over one third as much
as the one they are now preparing to build
at Watson's Island. But it did not suit the
company TO accept the liberal offer. For
their own purposes and not from any con-
sideration for our people they chose 10 force
their road through the lands of those who
did not need additional railroad facilities, and
paid heavy damages for so doing. If the
company were able to do that for their own
convenience and profit they should pay tax
es, on their property, as every citizen of Har.
ford county has to do.

Canned Goods Not Unwholesome.

bill is before the Legislature of New
York to prevent the sale in that State, after
January LIST, 1885, of canned goods which
are not stamped with place and date of pack
ing. The Mercantile Exchange of New York
has protested against the BILL the ostensble
object of which is to protect consumers
against deleterious canned goods. The re-
port of the chemist employed by the New
York State board ofhealth shows that in
large variety of canned goods examined by
him in 1882, comprising peaches, plums,
grapes, strawberries, cherries, blackberries,
olives, mushrooms, corn, beans, succotash
tomatoes, pumpkins and peas, some of which
were two or three years old, there was no
cause for apprehension on the part of con-
sumers, and that no adulteration was found
in any of the canned fruit or vegetables. The
protest Of the Merchantile Exchange also
says:
ave have not seen any sufficient reason for
such law. Out of the many millions of tins
of canned goods put up or consumed in this
State, we venture the assertion that has not
been a single well authenticated case of death
or serious injury from their consumption, and
that there are more cases of sickness directly
traceable to the consumption of stale fruits,
vegetables, fish and meats, which are not can
ned, than there are from those which are
canned"
