WAGES IN 1900,

(From McMaSter's New History of the Peopl,
of the United StateS.)
The condition ofthe wage-class of that
day may well be examined it is full oil
instruction for social agitators. In the
great cities unskiled workmen were
hired by the day, bought their own food
and found their own lodgings. But in
the country, on the farms, or wherever
Ia band was employed on some public
work. they were fed and lodged by the
employer and given a few dollars a
month. On the Pennsylvania canals
the diggers ate the coarest diet, were
housed in the rudest sheds, and paid Sc
"a month from May to November, and
land 20 month from November to May
|Hod-carriers and 1lortar-Ilixers. diggers
and choppers, who, from 1898 to 1900,
|labored on the public buildings and cut
the streets and avenues of Washington
|city, received $40 year, Or, if they
wished, $50 for all the work they could
perform from March 1 to December 90
The hours of work were invariably from
sunrise to sunset. Wages at Albany
land New York were 3 shillings Or, as
money then went, 40 cents day !; al
Lancaster, So to $40 month elsewhere
lin Pennsylvania workmen were content
with $6 in summer and So in winter
|At Baltimore, men were glad to be hired
lat Is pence day. None, by the month,
asked more than Sc. At Fredericks.
burg the price of labor was from SIS to
|$7. In Virginia, white men employed
|by the year were given 916 currency
slaves, when hired, were clothed and their
masters paid FL month. A pound
Virginia money was, in Federal money,
1888. The average rate of wages the
land over was, therefore, $65 a year
with food and perhaps lodging. Out OF
this small sum the workman must, with
his wife's help, maintain his family.

EACH HAS A PLAC E.
COL. F. D. CURTIS.

Jersey COWS will make more butter
than any other breed. While this state
|ment is made in the most fat-footed|
manner, | am not so blind that I do mott
see and accord to other breeds special
merits. 1t is now almost dozen years
since [ wrote up for the Department of
Agriculture an account of fresh meat
to Europe. At that time,
Timothy G. Eastman, pioneer and
great shipper of the Union Stock Yards, |
New York city, told me the lack was
beef good enough to ship. Steers which
would dress not less than 800 pounds
were required for the foreign market,
land those were hard to get. I promised
lhim to urge on Western beef makers the
.use of short-horned blood, and improve
sthe beef and increase the weight, and Il
did so, not only in the report for the
3Government, but through the press.
In recent interview with Mr.. East
man he expressed great satisfaction at
lthe improvement which had been made,
$50 much to the credit of the short-horns,
Though he did not attribute it altogether
Ito them.
There are the amiable and noble
5Herefords. At the Chicago Fat Stock
SHOW last year 1 really thought the
Hereford grades the handsomest cattle
on exhibition. They were grand, and
lit was drawn battle between them and
the Short-horns which were best. I was
zglad of this, not because I want to see
4 the Shortrhorns in the background, but
4 when a race is close there is more in
Sterest, and the hind animal has some
chance. Arlstocracy or oneocracy" is
{ not good. It seems to me that the
sHerefords are the gentlest looking cattle
sof all breeds. They don't look as though
they could get excited or ferocious
8They may not equal the Short-horns in
width and thickness of loin and choice
breasts. But they are good enough
with two such magnificent breeds the
wants of the foreign shippers should be
Ssupplied with the best Of beef, and the
Sprairies ought to be satisfied. For the
Emore exposed and scanty plains the
spoiled breeds are specially adapted, with
their thicker coats of hair and sturdiel
zframes. They are the picture of hardi
s mess, and this is not aIl-their beef il
good. They fatten easily and will thrive
where the most stately Short-horn ant
B Hereford would be stack of bones
How fortunate we are with our diver
z|sifed climates and pastures to have cat
tie suited to them all, in which the high
est degree of perfection has been obtain
led. By utilizing all of these breeds il
the localities and conditions suited t
f them, we can turn prairie and plain int
Hbeefproducing pastures, and all our SUI
e plus fodder into profit. Shorthorn
cannot fill all of this demand, nor ca
the Jersey all that is wanted in the wa
of milk. Other breeds help us out j
these respects.

CHICAGO, July 18th, 1885.
As we have anticipated in our former
Slssues, our wool market has shown quite
an active demand for woods the past
week, covering most all grades and al
full quotations. On basis at which
some sales have been made before, the
market may be quoted firm at about one
cent per pound higher on some grades.
1t is, in other words, more difficult for
buyers TO find bargains" The general
market is decidedly firmer.
For combing woods of all grades, and
for fine clothing woods, the demand has
been much in excess of the present
offerings Common and carpet wools|
are also in large demand. Ind, Hls.,|
Wis, Iowa, DC, bright blood and me-
dunn clothing woods have sold well, and
are receiving more attention than for|
some time past. We understand that
Montana, &c, woods are much lighter
this year than usual, and they will bringg
better prices on markets accordingly. /
We have sold some Territory woods atI
better prices than last year, they being
much lighter.

Canned cherries make such excellent

Canned cherries make such excellent
tarts in winter that it is worth while to-
put up quantity. Stone them before
weighing. Cherries take six ounces of
sugar to each quart of fruit, and nsst be
cooked moderately fast for eight minutes
after they begin to boil. Do not put
them into the cans until you have re
moved every particle of scum, if they
have to boil longer than eight minutes
to Get it all off. This is one great secret
