many new and strange sights that his
Judgment and good sense are apt to take

gulf breezes, or are lost in the hanging
that enter into the value of a piece of
real alestate in the State of New York pre-
sent themselves to him here; he is really
at loss how to make comparisons. He
sees oleanders twelve to fifteen inches in
diameter; castor bean plants strong
enough to hold three or four good-sized
children perched among the branches;
the common vermifuge Weed-which dies
down every fall-may frequently be seen
large enough to bear his own weight;
sweet potatoes, five of which will measure
(no, should say, you can't measure
them) bushel; and a hundred other
marvellous things that drive all manner
of comparison or analogy out of his
head There is pointed out to him an
orange grove that covers not more than
five acres, and he is told that for the past
ten years it has yielded the owner, each
year not less than five thousand dollars;
another small group of orange trees on
scarce an acre of land, the crop of which
ON the trees-has netted repeatedly
twelve dollars and even more. He may
gather Strawberries from Christmas until
June, and see cabbage plants set out
and seed beds for tomatoes made by the
first of December And, after all this, he
is prepared to believe almost anything
that may be told him, and which neither
he nor anyone else eyer will see. ts
Why the waters of our numerous lakes
with no apparent inlet or outlet
should be so very clear and pure is, to
him, little short of miracle, and he
forthwith decides he must have ''lake
'front.'" The result of it all is, that in
two weeks after his arrival he buys land
which in two years time he gives away,
or, what is still worse for the reputation
of our State, he abandons entirely, leav
ing few acres of cleared land with O.

FOOT does not know what an expensive
piece of amusement this is.
About thirteen years ago the writer
made his first trip up the ST, Johns river.
Among group of gentlemen gathered
on board the Hattie around her captain,
Charlie Brock, the remark was made that
s'a grove of five hundred bearing trees
was worth ten thousand dollars" How
can that be?'s asked young man from.
Boston; and then, with the old settler
who made the assertion, they "fgger";
first there is the cost Of land, next comes
!. clearing, then fencing, setting out IN
young trees, SO many years care and
cultivation, and they sum all up at six
thousand dollars; "and then" said the
old settler, "add four thousand for pa

food and clothing until the grove comes
into bearing, and you learn how to ac-
commodate yourself to soil and climate. y
Let me now draw another picture: A
Northern lumberman, who has spent his
life in the Maine or Michigan pine forests,

at the railroad unloading Northern saw
mill plant; and every movement hemakes
says, almost as if the words were uttered
by the lips, 'the price of lumber in this
neighborhood will shortly come down 20
per cent"
Inless than half of six or eight months
he is wishing his plant back at Saginaw
or on the banks of the Kennebeck. What
has been the trouble? He has no snow
on which to haul his "stock''; no streams
down which to float or ''drive'' his logs,
and no pool in which to run them SO that
he can pick out ypartichlar one just as
he wants it; the timber does not saw like
the soft white pine to which he has been
accustomed, and he cannot manage the
only labor that he finds at his disposal.
And, again, our new friend has bought
a piece of land, and sets out with all the
vim and energy imaginable to make
home after the one he left behindhim; it
must have all the conveniences that his
Northern home had, and he works through
the long, hot days of summer, the more
pleasant fall, and the winter-Well, he
finds no Winter-iti is work straight along
His land is to be cleared; every stump is
to come out (pine stumps do not rot out
in twenty years., and then plowed; next
fences-they don't cost much, thanks to
barbed wire and lghtwood posts; the
young orange trees are then to be set
out. And it all amounts to this: He
wants to make on land which he found
in a state of nature, a home and farm
with all the conveniences of the one he left
behind, and all this in the space of two
years.

Western frontier who moved further west

Come and See ke,


Never take "come and see me" as a
phrase meant in earnest unless it is ac.
companied with date. An invitation
without circumstance" is no invitation
ut all. Depend upon it. if any man or
woman desires your company, he OF she
will appoint time for your visit. "Call
on me when you csn make it conven-
ient;" s'drop in as you are passing )"
"make us visit when you have an hour
or two to spare," are social indefuitisms
by which men of the world understahd
that they are not expected to do the
things requested.
When people wish to be cheaply
polite, there is nothing like this sort of
vagueness. The complimentary small
change of society should always be taken
at large discount. It is never worth its
face, or anything like it. Yetit is a
convenient medium Of exchange for all
that, and heavy debts of gratitude, that
ought to be requited iu batter coin, are
often paid with it. People who have
more polish than principle use it lavish-
ly-plaiu, blunt, honest men sparingly,
or not at all.
Whoever makessa friendly 0isi, to q
fashionable house On the strength of a
mere ''come aud see me- will be likely
enough to ind that the family circle
which he has dropped into by request is
uugenial as the arctic circle, and to leave
it with chilly feeling about the heart
that will prevent him from genturing into
the same high latitude thereafter.
But when a whole souled fellow, whom
you know to be your friend, grasps you
vigorously by the hand, and says
"Come and dine,with me to day--dinnel
on the table at five o'clock-be sure to
come we shall expect you"-go ifyou
can, and you will be all the better for il
BOTH in mind and body. One likes to
meet friends at the hospitable board

Two Hundred. Pounds for Cotton

Would. it not be we'll for farmers, in
their various organizations, to discuss the
importance of reducing the size of the
cotton bale !? The tendency, in putting
up many commodities for market, is to
put up in small bulk, as they are so much
easier handled, and this is very impor.
tant matter with cotton bales. Whoever
hiss had to tug and push bale of cotton
out of wagon on to platform knows
something Of the trouble of handling a
500.pound bale; and now most of farm.
ers who make their cotton have to deliv-
or itin the market, Let the standards
be 200 pounds, and let the size be in
proportion, and the bale could be made
to look more slightly in market, espe-
cially when We shall cover them with
cotton bagging, fer soon ne hope that
jute bagging will be numbered with things
of the past.
When wo reduce the bale we can do
away with the cotton hooks, which is a
nuisance, as it tears the .bagging of the
bale, causing the cotton to be wasted by
being pulled off and eaten up by hungry
COWS. Now imagine a nice little bale
covered entirely with cotton bagging, so
no mud or dirt could get on the cotton,
making: the tare less on bale, and less
danger from fire, SO less insurance should
be required. Some kind OF grab could be
used that would not tear the bagging, and
the hole cut in the bale could be sewed
up after q sample is taken out ofit; then
/ we should not hear of steamboats, catching
fire in the middle of river with cotton
on them and before they could get to
land, the whole boat enveloped in flames
aud many lives destroyed. Jute Is almost
as combustible as cotton itself.
Then why should we not use wire
instead Of ties, rs they use wire in baling
hay !? and what is to hinder our Southern
iron mills from making the wire7 If ne
could wrap our cotton with Southern
made bagging and Southern made ties,
would not this give boom to our South.
