NEWBERN's INDUSTRIES.
Oyster Packing Vegetable Canning.
Wood Pulp and Wooden Plates.
NEwBERN, May "a, 1886.

ED. PROGRESSIVE FARMER 1T gives
me pleasure to answer briefly your
inquiries in reference to oyster pack
ing, vegetable canning and wood
pulp industries of Newborn:
Messrs., Moore & Brady, Of Balti-
more, have established an oyster
packing business here, and have
erected large buildings for the pur-
pose at Union Point, on the south
east edge of the city. They employ
a large number of hands and have
packed and shipped a large quanti-
ty of oysters. Since May 10th they
have been canning garden peas. The
truckers planted for Moore & Brady
about $50 acres in peas. Owing to
very dry weather the yield has been
unusually small per acr Thus far
about 5000 boxes Of peas have been
delivered to them.
Owing to the long continued dry
weather the crop Of peas, beans, po-
tatoes, ETC., have been much reduced
in yield. There has been shipped
North about 10000 boxes peas, about
$4,000 worth of asparagus, 5000 bar
rels of cabbage. There will be about
$4,000 barrels of Irish potatoes
shipped to Northern markets during
June. This crop closes the truck
season.. ..
The Wood Pulp mill is owned by
the Gray Manufacturing Company,
and is situated on the south bank of
the Trent river, opposite Newbern.
The pulp is made from Cypress wood,
which is very abundant here, and is
used in the manufacture of writing
and printing paper. 1t is thought
that the Cypress makes better paper
stock than can be made from any
other wood. The process used here
is a new one, lately introduced from
Europe, and makes a pulp with very
long fibre, and is quite strong which
is an important point in paper stock.
The machinery at present in the
mill will turn out about ten tons per
week, and it is expected to be fully
at work in a few days. Other ma
chinery will shortly be added that
will increase the output to twenty
tons per week. 1t requires two cords
of wood to make one ton of pulp.
The Gray Manufacturing Company
make wood plates for grocers' use in
large quantities. ..r. -Et .-#
Newbern, owing to the situation
on the Neuse and Trent rivers, has
a large trade in lumber and shingles,
which has taken the place-of the old
products of tar, pitch and turpentine,
which are almost things of the past.
.a-f ~ Respectfully, y
GEORGE ALLEN.

What are commonly called very ricI

~~@s@ FILLING IN bitches.
The surprising fact in making un.
derdrains is that the earth removed
in digging will never quite fill thu
ditch, even after the stone or tiIo
which makes the water passage has
been laid. 1t shows that unmoved
soil is full of vacant spaces, while At:
ter being looscned it is easily com.
pacted. The most rapid work fllipo
in bitches is with a pillow, a space At
each end being covered by hand for
the team to turn around on. Unless
the soil is ridged up above the drain
a hollow will mark it's site after the
first year, but this does no particu.
lar harm, except where the water
exceeds the capacity of the drain to
take away. In such case the over.
flow should be in a furrow three Or
four feet one side or the other of the
line of the drain.
WHERE H HOG GOES.
According to the Hog, England
leads all nations as a purchaser Of
our hog products, but Canada buys
heavily of us. Cuba is an excellent
customer, and other ports of the
West Indies buy all they can afford
to. There is a small but promising
trade with Mexico and Central Am,
erica. Scotland is quite a large buy
er in our provision markets. Ger
many and France buy immense guam
ties of our lard, which they do not
prohibit. All signs point to a con
tinued increase in this export move
ment. The total value of exports Of
hog products for the fiscal year of
1885 was $64,882,410. But, notwith-
standing an increased amount of ex-
ports, the value thereof shows a fall
ing off, as compared with the year
previous, Of $4,871,113, on account
of the low price of hog products
which has prevailed. During the
fiscal year ending June 80, 345, 92O,-
COG pounds Of bacon have been ex-
ported, 54,2O1,321 pounds of ham,
7O,660,7 65 pounds of salt pork and
283215,979 pounds of lard. For the
fiscal year ending 1884 there were
shipped abroad from all ports 341r-
579,410 pounds of bacon, 47,919,95S
pounds Of hams, 60,353,363 pounds
of salt pork and 265, O94,719 pounds
of lard. ..H

CIRCUMvENTING THE CODE.
Novel Duel-BOth Men on the Ground
but Twelve Hours Separate Them.
From the Washington Post.


From the Washington Post.
A ripple of excitement was caused re-
Gently in the lObbies of the uptown hotels
by the arrest OF several well-known
young men, on a charge of attempting to
fight duel. They were anything but
bloOd-thirsty looking, and the fact that at
the time arranged for the meeting they
were several miles apart was not 50 much
owing to lack of courage as to feeling
OF consideration each bad for the other.
They had quarreled, however, and it was
firmly decided that the matter could only
be settled with blood. Accordingly sec
onds were selected. the south end of the
Long Bridge determined upon as the fight
ing ground and Z O'clock on Tuesday set
tied as the hour for the fight. BY this ar
rangement one OF the principals was able
to go to the place OF meeting at O'Clock
in the morning, where he waited an hour
or two for his adversary. The latter, how
ever. did not appear till O'Clock in the
evening, and, finding nobody to meet him,
returned home again.
BY this novel method each was satisfied
that the other was a coward, and hIs own
courage was established, and nothing fur
Their would have been done about the mat
ter but for the police. When the latter
stepped in and captured several OF the
belligerent citizens they fully realized the
Importance of the matter they mad under
taken, and were so contrite aud frightened
that Lieut.. Arnold, before whom they
were taken was fully satisfied that the
men would not fight, and so released them
n their promise to never be nau ghty
