Farming Does Not Paw.

On the whole. farming is
not profitable business in the
United States. 1t is hcalthful
employment, productive of
strong and vigorous men, but
is not attractive, and it is
not attractive because it is not
profitable. Seldom do the
sons of well-to-do farmers be-
come farmers. As soon as
they are all old enough to
strike out for themselves, they
will be found in the towns, not
upon the farms. Nor are
lands in the old States which
are not near enough to popu-
lous cities to be prohtably
used for market gardens, in
creasing in value. So far is
this from being the case, that
very few farms in those States
could be sold to-dsy for prices
which they readily command
ed twenty years ago. Invest
ments in lands which are val.
liable for agriculture only, are
not now regarded with favor
by capitalists. Better use for
their money is found else
where. e.-Scribncr's Magazine.

Good cider vinegar can be
made only from good CIDER
Cider made from ripe apples
is stronger than that made
earlier, when the apples are
yet green. Put the barrel on
its side and fill it with good
cider to the bung, that the
pomace may be thrown out as
the cider ferments. Fill up
the barrel twice a day while
fermentation is in progress
AT the close OF fermentation
the cider should be racked off
carefully and put into another
clean barrel. or the same one
after it has been well washed
out. II there are enough bar
rels. it is better to fill them
only half full after fermenta-
ton is finished. as this exposes
a greater surface to the air.
The more air the better the
vinegar will make. Hence, a
darkened. airy outhouse is bet
ter than a close cellar for the
storage OF the barrels. Cider
vinegar is not weakened by
exposure to the air or injured
by freezing; and il the barrels
are only half full there will be
no overflow from freezing. 1t
is not necessary to add any
thing to the cider nor is it de-
sirable to add anything, ex-
ccpt, perhaps. some old vine
gar after the cider has
fcrmented. The cider will be
converted into vinegar in
about twelve months. but will
steadily Increase in strength.
The tightness required Of
a cider vinegar barrel has be-
come proverbial. Leakage is
what haunts the nights Of the
vinegar maker. The slaves
of the vinegar barrel must be
free of sap-wood, and twice
the usual thickness. Wooden
hoops are better than iron
ones, as the cider will cut
through iron hoops in short
order when once it gets to
them. Worms, the larvae Of
a fly which usually deposits her
eggs in the chime. make much
bother, and must be carefully
guarded against. Naturally
enough they prefer sap-wood,
and on this account as well as
the elders soaking through
sap-wood, it should be avoid
ed. 1t is said that occasional
ly painting the barrel with
coal oil will kill the larva. But
it is best to prevent the de-
posit Of the eggs, which may
be done by keeping the bar
rels in a dark place from
March to October. r.-American

HOW THE FARMER IS ROB-
BED.

In the face Of the enormous
increase in the quantity Of the
productions OF our farms, it
appears from the census re-
ports that the rate Of increase
in value from 1870 to 1880 was
less than 10 per cent. while
the important manufacturing
States for the same time in
creased their wealth nearly
200 hundred per cent. The
planters in 1860 owned one
half Of the wealth Of the coun-
try. They owned in 1880 on
ly one forth and yet the total
wealth has nearly doubled in
this time. This is not the re-
suit Of misfortune, accident,
drought or want Of economy
on the part Of the people, be-
cause we have shown that they
have produced the quantity Of
products.
The half not invested in
farms was increased more than
twenty billions in value; while
the half owned by farmers on
lyincreasedf four billions. Those
not engaged in farming made
S5. where those who were
made 81. as shown by their
investment. As Is per cent.
of all exports from the United
States are agricultural prod
ucts, we can safely assume that
the profit OF the farmers were
mode off Of those to whom
they sold the exports. people
Of the Old World, and repre-
sented so much money brought
into the country. Not so with
the manufacturer. Under the
present policy Of the govern
ment he manufactured for
home consumption. The con-
sumcrs OF America bought
American goods because they
could get no others as a rule.
The manufacturer has be-
come rich. while the consum-
err, if a farmer. has barely saw
ed what he started with. Does
any one find any difficulty in
telling whose money made the
manufacturer rich? 1t does
not satisfy the farmer to tell
him that the money was kept
in our own country when he
sees that his reasonable pro-
fits have by some sort of leg
ercemain been lost tohim and
pocketed by othdrs. The poll
cy of protection has the effect
of centralizing the wealth of
the country in the hands Of
the favored few, while it i'm
poverishes the great body Of
the producers and makes them
dissatisfied. 1t encourages
waste and extravaganza on the
part of those who are made
rich, has a bad effect upon the
people generally.

SWINE IN THE ORCHARD.

An old friend, a farmer,
whose orchard has always been
above the average in condi-
ton and production. recently
told us that he thought much
of his success in orcharding
was due to his fattening his
swine. in the fall and early
winter, in the orchard. Our
own experience has shown us
very plainly that the associa-
ton Of swine and orchard trees
is mutually beneficial. If the
swine are given salt and ashes
regularly, and a variety OF
food, they will not peel the
trees; and the falling fruit
makes a good share of the
needed variety. The early
windfalls, at least, almost with
out exception contain larve.

Maryiand's ''Sniartest Niger"

The following story is told by a gentle
man well acquainted with the partie.
mentioned and who can youch for lts
authenticity. Each Of two gentlemen,
who owned adjoining farms in one OF the
counties, had a colored iaboreT working
on his place. These men. who were named
Tom and Bob respectively, were very
light fingered and had the reputation
of converting to their own special prop
erty ANYTHING they could carry from their
neighbors. One day the two farmers met,
and, by chance, the conversation turned
upon the stealing pr%opensities Of their
respective men. After some discussion
one said: II tell you Tom can steal
more in a week than your Bob can in a
month. He is the smartest niger III the
county"
mo, he can't, said the other gentle
man, emptying his mouth of Il huge guam
tity of tobacco. There is no niger In
Maryland who can beat Bob stealing.
He could take the buttons off q city
policeman's coat, and the policeman
wouldn't know there was anybody within
a mile of him." Yes there is" ex-
claimed Toms champion excitedly,
''Why, my Tom could steal a stick OF
wood from under your Bob and leave
him sitting Oh the bark" Bob's de-
fender was vanquished and had TO give 1t
up and ii was II week or more before he
recovered sufficiently to proclaim again
that he had "the smartest Niger in Mary

There was but little basis for a report
to-day. We hear only of a sale Of a
couple of wrapper packages and a few
common filters privately. At auction
nothing sold over 25i for wrappers, while,
AS heretofore, cutters are bringing more
than this on an average lately. There is
no change in new dark. Receipts are
still light, which tayors better values.
Sales have been made at about l2t cents
average for iine crop leaf, and for such
grades the demand IS good. The receipts
of West Virginia leaf and dark loose
tobacco have 10Y practically ceased for
the season. Low grades of every class,
new and old, are dull. Manufacturers
are buying from hand to mouth, and
their needs are small at present; and yet,
with the heavy receipts in a short time,
We cannot expect a better market at this
time, while there is reason for more
activity later.
