The President approves the o oleomargine
bill, but suggests the amendment of GER
tain of its provisions, with aview to great
er defaiteness and clearness of meaning
The argument that has been used against
the bill, that it increases the revenue at a
time when the governments income is al
ready excessive, the President meets with
the remark that the income obtained from
the manufacture and sale of artificial but
ter will justify larger reduction of the
taxes that bear oppressively on other arti-
cles. Tariff rates ranging from As to 80
per cent. on articles of necessity will be
less excusable than ever, now that the rev.
enue they produce is less needed. That
an Incidental result of the operation of the
new law will be to bring the manufacture
and sale of oleomargine under the inspec-
tion of government officials, is not, in the
Presidents opinion, its least recommends
tion. Honest manufacturers will not OBJ
ject to having their processes known and
their product sold for what it is. If those
who wish to profit from fraud find their
business broken up, they will but get their
deserts. That the law will injure the
manufacture of oleomargine from proper
materials the President does not believe;
if he thought it would operate to prohibit
the manufacture, when Iegitimately con-
Quoted, he would veto it. But no such
bad result is likely, he thinks, to follow,
while the farmer, the dairyman and the
consumer will all be likely to profit from
having oleomargine sold under its proper
name.

PORT TOBACCO:

Friday Morning...... ....."August 6, 1856.

The fair held at Jennings, La, last week
was not much different from any other
agricultural display of this kind in the ar
ticles exhibited. 1t is remarkable simply
as evidence of the rapid growth of South
west Louisiana. Three years ago had a
similar fair been held at Jennings, it would
have been impossible to display anything.
Today the farmers of that section can show
all the staple productions of the South, as
well as the new crops and industries intro
duced into Louisiana by the Western col
onists settled in Calcasieu parish. There
were cane, cotton, rice and tobacco on the
enc hand; oats, hay, apples, &C., on the
other. 1t was happy mingling of the
Great West and the New South, of the
products and industries of both sections;
and all this has been accomplished in
barely three years, for that number of
years ago Jennings was unknown in the
midst of country boasting but few in
habitants. Viewed in this light, the Jen-
nings fair is an event worthy of some no.
tice, as showing what immigration and
energy can do fer Louisiana-Neu Or
laans Times Democrat.

government has completed arrangements

Light is thrown on the pending fishery
trouble by some recent public utterances
in Canada. The real cause of the dispute,
it appears, is not that the fishermen of the
two countries are jealous, and not the al
legged violation of treaties and laws by our
fishermen, but the unequal operation OF
the tariff laws of England and the United
States. Treaties of reciprocity may be
made and may be strictly obcerved by
both parties, but so long as Canada does
not tax imported fish and the Unied
States does, there is no real reciprocity
and the Canadians have the losing end Of
the bargain. In other words, the fishery
troubles cannot be permanently settled
until the United States adopts the free
trade system of Great Britain. If this is
so it will be "a long look ahead" for
peace, and the hardy down casters may as
well keep on furnishing up their rusty old

THE WEATHER.
REPORT oFTRMpERATURE FoRRUGBY, TENN.

BILE where a large city market
creates demand for them while
fresh.
The soil best suited for raspber-
ries is friable clay loan, the light
er or heavier soils not being nearly
SO we'll adapted for the raspberry.
The best varieties of black cap
and which give most general salts
faction are; Tyler, Hopkins, Keys
Prolific, Ohio and Gregg.
The Tyler is a vigorous grower,
very hardy, early but holding out
nearly the last, of fair quality and
size, and very productive.
Hopkins resembles Tyler in many
respects, is few days later, some
what larger, of Little better flavor
and quite equal in productiveness.
Keys Prolific is a newer and less
known berry than either of the
others, of good size and very sweet.
Ohio is from observation of those
who have carefully tested all kinds,
the most profitable variety to grow
for evaporating of all. 1t is very Vi
gorous, making large growth OF
cane, and we must grow canes be-
fore we can grow berries. 1t is very
productive, berries large, firm anc
dry, and makes most probably the
most dry fruit to the quart. 1t is
quite hardy.
The Gregg is the largest blacl
raspberry prod weed, very firm on
dry, and produces as many berries
on the same amount of cane as the
most prolific, although not quite SC
hardy as others in the Northern
winters.
For Red Raspberries there is
aothlng to equal the Cuthbert either
in size or flavor, and this variety
bears shipping better than any of
the other red berries.

Not one farmer in hundred
grows celery, yet there is no crop
that pays better, says the Farm,
Field and Stockman. The reason
that we recommend it is because it
keeps well, and may be stored the
same as any other crop, only more
care is required But, as the majori
ty of farmers are accustomed to
expending the labor over large sur
faces, they will not be easily induced
to believe that they can realize a
greater return for their labor, and
save valuable space, by turning
their attention to the more costly
and salable crops. The methods of
growing celery are very different
from those formerly used, The seeds
are sown in the open air instead OF
in hot-beds, while The plants are not
placed deep in the trenches, as was
once supposed to be necessary. The
seed may be allowed to gcrmipate
as soon as the ground becomes
warm, and the plants need net be
transplanted until June or July. 1t
REQUIRES a rich, moist soil, with
plenty Of manure, but watering may
be resorted to with advantage, We
have before given full directions for
growing celery, but the object is to
impress upon the farmer that he
should endcavor to produce some Of
the articles that bring the highest
pliyes, as such prices simply repre-
sent the labor bestowed upon them.
1t is more profitable to sell days
labor in the shape of celery than in
the form Of corn, and that is the
point we wish to impress. A small
crop of celery, asparagus, mush-
rooms or some of the small fruits,
will often pay well, and though we
are aware that farmers will not
readily turn aside to attend to such
crops, yet they give an opportunity
TO those who are limited in space to
realize very large returns.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

The Secretary Of State has now
received returns from all the coun-
ties except Lawrence and the vote
of that county is known unotfcially.
These returns show the following
vote for each of the candidates for
supreme judges: Turney, l56,l98;
Caldwell, l57, $50, Snoagrass, I56,
1872; Lurton, 1904; Folkes, 1877,
$50; Randolph, l22,448; Warder,
l22,428; Baxter, l23l00; Watson,
2,287; Murray, l22,344.
Taking the aggregate vote of the
five Democratic candidates and the
aggregate vote Of the five republican
candidates and dividing each aggre-
gate by five and subtractirg one
from the other gives the average
majority in the State, which is
"a 452 The majority of the highest
candidate, Lurton, over the lowest
Watson, is IS, 1857. Adding together
the highest Democratic vote (Mr.
Lurton's), 1854, and the highest
Republican Mr. Baxter's) l23,lo9
gives as the total vote, 280,783
The highest poll heretofore was in
1884, when the highest Democratic
electoral vote was 1920, and the
highest Republican, $4,000, max
ing a total Of 257 $50, showing a
gain this year Of over $4,000. That
this gain is Democratic is shown by
the fact that the Democratic vote is
increased by 24,374. while the Re
publican is increased by 96l

There are few persons who can
realize the extent of the increase in
the cultivation of raspberr'es in
this country. Duringthe last twenty
years, especially in western New
York and other neighboring States,
where there used to be an acre OR
two grown by market gardeners,
there are now farms where thechief
crop is raspberries. There are farms
of from forty to eighty acres, and
plantations of from eight to twenty
acres are quite numerous. On farms
where the raspberry is grown in
large quantities the Black Cap un-
doubtedly forms from three-fourths
to seven eighths of the entire area
covered. The reason for this large
preponderance of black-caps is that
they can be proftably dried, while
the red are only considered profita;.

1t is annoying to the breeder OF
blooded and fine fowls to find when
he offers for sale eggs nearly twice
as large as his neighbors that they
bring no more per dozen than do
the smaller ones. Also, the consul
mer is often vexed to find that he
must pay the same price to-day for
a dozen eggs weighing apound that
he yesterday paid for dozen weigh
ing a pound and half. Besides an
egg from a veil fed fowl is heavier
and richer than one from common
fowl that is only half fed, SO that
weight compared to size is an indi-
cation of richness. Thus, eggs of
which eight go to the pound are
richer and better than those of APP
parently the same size of which ten
are required for pound. Of course
with eggs at four and five cents per
dozen. (and hundreds of dozens have
been sold in past years at these fl
gures). it is not much matter as to
the size; but when the price ranges
from twenty-five to fifty cents pei
dozen, it is q matter worth looking
after. 1t is high time that this old
style of selling and buying eggs is
discontinued. 1t is relic of thu
past and reminds us of the time
when dressed hogs we're sold for a
dollar each, without regard to size
and were dull sale at that. Insist
upon il then, you who raise poultry
and eggs for market, that the price
of eggs shall be so much per pound,
and then it will lie some inducement
| to farmers to raise IL better class of
fowls and all will get their just
| due.-American farmer.

early hour.
A slight change was made in the
order of the Social Club Meeting,
held on Friday the Goth inst, which
when the Club gets accustomed to

end of the meeting, the programme
commencing proceedings. The fol-
lowing selections composed the
evenings entertainment: Reading Of

CORRESPONDENCE.

Ed. GAZETTE:
Sir

The horrid stencil
which pervades the atmosphere of
Rugby has no doubt reached your
olfactories ere this, so l need not
attempt a description of its nature,
tc enlighten you as to its source:
neither would | attempt to beg OF
you to warn those citizens of Rugby
who content themselves with simply
dragging the carcases of their de-
funct hogs into some blind gully,
and there leaving them to natures
ways, of the possible dire conse-
quences of such indicate doings
on the health of the town, for they
might think it meddlesQme, and
their liberties invaded.
But could you not hit upon some
means of informing those truly
useful if ungainly, buzzards,
that we're driven away by the ex and
deeply lamented board OF health,
that Rugby has become a hostelry,
where they may find wherewith to
satisfy their most fastldious appe-
titles.

SPEAKING of the tyranny OF the
present day, a contemporary very
truthfully remarks: 1t is matter
Of much amazement among sedate
people to note the growing extrava-
gance, even in families of limited
means, at the marriage of daughters.
Among opulent people a marriage
of daughter is supposed to be the
time when their own and their
relatives and friends wealth must
be displayed in the manner in which
a bride is robed at the altar, be-
jeweled, provided with house-keep-
ing articles, and presented with
costly gifts of all kinds. An in
vitation to wedding is become a
costly affair, and makes many a
comparatively poor man and woman
tremble when it is received. To be
guest at a marriage ceremony has
become costly luxury, from the
enioyments of which fashion has
fixed penalties which few persons
can brave.
