cost of a small establishment 1t is

| cost OF small establishment. 1t is
worthy of thoughtful perusal:
The capacity of the fixtures herein
described is adapted to "small can.
merry" The boiler, with one kettle,
would prepare enough of tomatoes,
etc., to fill 5000 cans or three times
this number of peaches or apples.
Every additional kettle would proper.
tionately increase the capacity.
The cost of a boiler of l2-horse
power is 1920; kettle, open ST.. This
will do for tomatoes, apples, peaches
and all kinds of berries
If corn or peas are to be canned a
patent process will be necessary This
will cost 1925. With this kettle you
will have set of crates.
Leaving out this we have the fol-
lowing additional items. Open kettle
and crates, extra, cost Sc to $8; ex-
haust box, $l7; crane, to hoist crates
out of the kettle, $l3; air pump, Sc;
oil tank, SIS to S25; free pots, $S to
$40; Debow Gaping tools, So each.
| Two of these will be necessary for each
man, but one "capper " is sufficient in
small cannery.
The prices Of cans, if they are bought
at the right time, are for two-pond
cans $2.45 to So per hundred.
The cases Of boxes in which the cans
are packed for shipment, and which
hold two dozen cans, cost for cases
that hold twenty four 2-pound cans 7c
each; for cases that hold twenty four
3-pound cans &C each.
The price paid for shelling peas is sc
per gallon; for peeling tomatoes lc per
bucket, that is, the common wooden
bucket; for peeling and seeding
peaches, l2c per bushel; peeling
apples lOc per bushel. These are the
prices when the hands are boarded at
the cannary. If they board themsel-
yes $l.5O per day is allowed.
In the foregoing statement of expen-
ses of starting a cannery nothing is
said about house to cover the ma
chinery and operations. This may be
a very plain cheap shed, or a more
costly building, or some old building
may be adapted to the purpose. A
house with an area of floor equiva-
lent to 24x4O feet would be sufficient.
Leaving out the cost of the house and
the process kettle, necessary if corn
and peas are to be canned. the sum of
1926 will, I am informed, cover the
expenses of starting cannery for to-
matoes, peaches, apples and all kinds of
berries-S. Louis Journal Of Agracml-
tsue and Stock Breeder.

BRITAIN'S SHRINKING GRAIN
AREA.

The Edinburg Farming World calls
attention to the fact that in sixteen
harvests the annual wheat crop of the
United Kingdom has shrunk from
3,98l,9S9 acres in 1867 to 1858, ,092
acres in 1885, which it is said, means
that the bread corn produce of 1885,
GIL acres, which may average 5,000,-
600 or 6,OOO,O06 quarters per annum,
has to be replaced by importation.
This large deficit, to be made up by
increased purchase from abroad, would
not appear of such great consequence
Tin the present possible position of
possible supply if the acres abstracted
from home wheat production were
devoted to the growth of other corn,
which might still maintain an equal
force of manual labor on the same
land. But in the period of sixteen
years the reduction of the wheat area
has been accompanied by shrinkage
of the total corn area of the United
Kingdom, yielding wheat, barley, bere,
[Scottish for a species of barley.-ED.
rye, oats, peas and beans, from l2,-
0OO,lll acres in 1869 to lO,Ol4, ,625,
being a loss of 1885, 4S6 acres, or
l6.5 per cent. This vast acreage has
disappeared from the annual breadth
which employs the greatest number OF
laborers per acre. Taking England
alone, we find that fully one-seventh
of the country has gone out of grain
cultivation, while in Wales the pro-
portion of grain culture sacrificed is
still greater, and in Ireland consider
ably more than quarter of the whole
grain growing area is lost.-Farm,
Field and .Sockman.

factories, of one prints mill Of two or
three Lowell mills, and so on through
the list. He will get all these at lowest
cash prices, with a heavy discount if
paid in thirty days. ...
All the States are making assess
ments. Arkansas of 25 cents, Missis-
sippi of 81 per annum for five years,
to furnish their agents with operating
capital with which to make their pur-
chases. This ought to be an eye
opener to any man who has belonged
to the Alliance for over two weeks,
and who holds his head to one side
like duck listening for thunder, as
he naively asks what them ar fellers
want with the s. assessment ?
[ wonder sometimes if they expect
to revolutionize the mercantile world,
and pull the universe out of ruts IN
which it has run for centuries with
wind |! and wishing they were rich. 1t
takes money to trade And if you
expect your State agent to buy ten
million dollars worth of goods with
Wind & Wishes you will have to
furnish different quality from any
that blows at Dallas.
1t will take that amount to supply
the Texas membership for 1888. A
brother from Grimes county told us
yesterday his county bought, in 1886,
100000 worth of goods on credit,
and as much for cash. This makes at
least 81, 100000 worth for a county.
Talk about State agent buying goods
and farm implements for 230 counties
without dollar capital
The Texas brethren are responding
grandly, and we expect by the time
the plans and estimates are made for
the Exchange building, (say by the
first of January, 1889 that the Ex-
change Board will have an immense
bank account.
We should be proud to see the State
Alliance assemble in the new building
next August.
Now, as to the second question,
"Will it pay to have National busi-
ness agent ?'' After what I have al
ready said this one sounds silly. Any
ten yea-old boy knows it will be the
biggest paying interest ever made.
He can buy lower than any wholesale
house in America. He can get lower
rates of transportation. He will work
for salary, and the order will get all
the profits of the business, which
ought to be simply immense.
The Texas Exchange has been, and
is today, a Grand Success 1t has
saved more than a million dollars to
the brotherhood already.
Cotton has sold better all over the
State on account of the mere existence
of the Exchange, and if | were at lib
erty to tell you of astonishingly favor
able sales made here it would fairly
take your breath. This has all been
done with new men, without expert
ence, in novel and new way of doing
business. What may we reasonably
expect next year ?-Southern Mercury.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1888-01-19

Says Prof. Stewart "The advan-
tage of grinding the cob and the corn
together, is not altogether in the nutri-
ment of the cob, but because the cob,
being coarser and spongy material,
gives bulk and divides and separates
the fine meal, so as to allow free cir
culation of the gastric juice Through
the mass in the stomach. Corn meal
when wet into plasic dough, is very
solid and easily penetrated by any
liquid and when pigs are fed wholly
on corn meal they often suffer with
fever in the stomach, because the meal
lies there too long undigested. The

SUCCESSFUL FARMING.

Here is a case of successful farming
for you Thomas Eaton, colored, who
lives on the lands belonging to the
estate of the late 81. II. Burwell, in
this county, works two horses and no
labor but his own family, and made
last year eighteen bales of cotton
averaging over 500 pounds each,
l55 IL barrels of corn, 100 bushels of
wheat, and large quantity of fodder,
oats, &c. This shows what industry
can accomplish in this country, even
by a colored ma.-HendersOn Gold
