SCRAPS FROM THE RALEIGH
TOBACCO MARKET.
Reported weekly by Jas. I. Thomason.]

Reported weekly by Jas. 1. Thomason.]
Raleigh is fast gaining a reputation as
the leading market in the State for high
prices and bright tobacco. The sales for
the past season have far surpassed our ex-
pectations; for the past two weeks breaks
have. been large and bright, prices for all
grades well maintained and planters all
satisfied. "A. few reasons why Raleigh
will be the leading tobacco market of the
State: Our warehousemen are the best,
and study the planters interest; our auc-
tioneers never leave a pile until he gets
the last bid; our buyers all have large
orders and every convenience for handling
tobacco, and pay the highest market
price; our warehouses are as well lighted,
with as good accommodations for man and
beast as. any in the South or West. Raj
eigh is the center of the finest tobacco
belt in North Carolina or Virginia. This
is what interests the planter most Raleigh
leads them all in high prices. You can
save money by buying your merchandise
in Raleigh, and have a larger and better
stock to select from; you can sell your to-
bacco in Raleigh for half charges and
thereby, save enough to pay your ex-
penses while here. Load up and drive to
Raleigh with a load and see if the above
statement is not true. Special sale at
the Capital Alliance Warehouse every
Friday. Not sufficient change in prices
to make new quotations.

MUTTON SHEEP.

There has been a wonderful awakening
during the past twelve months in the
matter Of sheep breeding; and while this
has extended to almost every branch of
the trade, the heavier carcassed breeds
have, naturally enough under the existing
circumstances, been the chief benefciaries.
Prices ~received'for the best grades of fat
muttons in this market have been so uni
formly satisfactory-as compared with
the values of beef on the hoof-that
farmers and feeders generally have begun
to turn their attention at last to this of
late muoh-negleeted branch of stock rear
ing. Word comes from Mattoon,~4l.,
that Coles county feeders have withinthe
psf week received 5000 head Of young
sheep from southwestern Kansas and
Montana ranges, to winter on the cheap
corr 50 abundant in that section, and
from various other quarters the infQrma77
ton is conveyed that sheep feeding iseto
constitute a very important industry dur
ing the winter months. Owing to the
comparative scarcity of good grades and
crosses of the various mutton breeds,
feeders are, of course, compelled to purchase
"n%stores" from the far West, but how
much greater would be the returns from
the grain t o be consumed if adequate sup
plies Of better-bred animals were avail
able. The Gazette believes that in the
judicious breeding of pedigreed sheep of
the distinctively mutton sorts there is
room for a very wide extension of inter

them in this manner until June and found

I built a shed over the place and intro

made of four old six-inch fencing planks
nailed together. One was made six feet
long to set up in centre of pile of potatoes
with holes bored in it; also three ~ventila-
tors made in same way, each about four
feet long. These were laid on the ground
and had had holes bored through except
the outer ends. Now pile your potatoes

HOW AN ENGLISH FARM HAND
FARES.

What would the average "man help"
In our country towns think if he was re-
quired to work Rs many hours as the
hand on an English farm Probably
he wouldn't condescend to think about
such a ridiculous subject, He would sim
ply not work, that is all there would be
to it. But the average English laborer-is
not so independent and some Americans
who have been rusticating in the typical
English cottage OF a big farm, forty miles
from London, this summer, have had
their compassion greatly excited in his
behalf. "Old Joe walks two miles
from the village every morning, to be
promptly at work at 5 o'clock. He v
leaves off until 8 O'Clock, and for these
fifteen hours labor of the most laborious
sort, he receives twelve shillings. or So a
weekl A slaves life compared with this
free Briton's is one of luxurious ease, vet,
in spite of, all, "Old Joe" has managed
to celebrate his seventy fifth birthday. A
"Labor day" would be a stupendous
farce for this poor old soul under the cir
cumstances.-BoStOn Herald.

project out. IF q cool spell comes stuff
straw or hay in these four ventilators and
when it turns, warm you can take straw
out thus giving you absolute control of
ventilation and allow the potatoes to go
through the so-called Sweat without
injury. This shed can be planked up and
a lock put on the door to prevent steal
ing but be sure to leave plenty of ven-
tilation through the shed. By this means
I have kept sweet potatoes each year
until June and they could be kept longer.
"A sweet potato grows until frost kills the
vines, then dig. Frost won't go down
the vines to the potato, but frost can go
in the ground and injure those near the
surface. Potatoes mature in this latitude
after frost kills the vines and not before.

THE BEs7 TIME TO MARRY.

Probably the best time for the average
civilized woman to marry, would be any
age between "a and SO. 1t is not said that
no woman should marry earlier or later
than either of these ages. but youth and
health and vigor are ordinarily st their
highest perfection between these two
periods. Early marriages are seldom de-
sirable for girls, and that for many rea-
sons. The brain is immature, the reason
is feeble and the character uniformed. The
consideration which would prompt a girl
to marry at II would, in many cases, have
little weight with her at rs. At II she is
q child, at "a a woman. Where a girl
has intelligent parents the seven years be-
tween II and "a are the period where
mind and body are most smensble to wise
discipline and best repay the thought and
toll devoted to their development-The

vAR1ETY IN DOMESTIC LIFE.

fresh thoughts, fresh atmosphere, any
thing to stir up and agitate. the pool Of
domestic ~stagnation, are sadly needed and
sadly scarce. There needs Il be also .
constant succession of such fresh people
to bring about these results. The world
is full of men and women, and In a bet
ter regulated life it would be the business
after the days work was done to enter
tain each other, and give each other fresh
life. As it is now, hundreds if not
thousands of our households are little
better than cells for the incarceration of
each family. Thousands are thus worn
out prematurely from utter lack Of do

LIME FOR PROVIDING EGG
81 SHELLS,

It has not been demonstrated that oys-
ter shells, or lime in any form, produces
egg shells (or rather, shells for the eggs,
as there are thousands of hens that are in
no manner provided with oyster shells.
It is true however, that oyster shells, be-
ing sharp, assist in grinding the food.
Carbonate of lime is insoluble, and the
lime for the egg shells must consequently
come from that which can be digested and
conducted to the eggs through the blood.
As nearly all kinds of food contain lime
in q soluble form, by combination with
vegetable acids, as well as in the form of
inorganic salts that are soluble, the process
of covering the eggs with shells goes on
without the aid Of substances that are in
soluble. There is one source of soluble
lime, however, that is frequently over
Iooked-the water-which holds lime in q
soluble form when it abounds in carbonic
acid. Hard, limestone water contains
lime, and the hens can, by drinking it
secure more lime in a convenient form
than from oyster shells. When a hen lays
eggs with soft shells, the cause is due not
to the lack of lime, but to the condition
of the hen, as she is then, as a rule, in an
oVerfat condition. To this cause may be
traced all the eggs with soft shells
and Home.

From the Marylsnd Farmer.l

From the Marylznd Farmer.
In a single sentence, it is to give close
attention to details, if farming is to pay.
And some of those details may be CON-
sidered as follows
l.. Have good animals on the farm, from
the smallest to the la-gest-from bees
through every grade to the 1000 pound
2. Be careful of this stock, especially
in the matter of housing it and feeding it.
The feeding should be adapted to the
needs of the animal to be fed and must
be- liberal, 49,.
3. The fertilizer made on the farm
should be carefully saved, should be fitted
for the different crops by any purchased
additions needed, and should be applied
in quantities best adapted to the land
planted.
4. The preparation of the land should
be thorough, the land planted at the
proper time, and the cultivation should go
on methodically and nothing be neglected
to- insure an abundant yield.
8. Hire good help and keep them at
work steadily on the farm just as the
manufacturer would in his factory. Re-
member, also, you are hiring yourself and
if you would be paid you must work
steadily and well.
6. Have, good agricultural implements
to work with-not necessarily expensive
ones, but such as are strong, durable and
effective. Those whichss q manual labor
largely are most desirable.
Z. Work only as much land as you car
thoroughly enrich and work to advantage.
The day is past for skimming specifically
over vast fields and gathering little more
than the wind.
g.. Put your produce in good shape for
market, deliver it properly and get a fair
price for it.
It is in this way that wide-awake men
make farming pay as, well as, or better
than, any other laborious pursuit.

A TRUE WIFE.

go $3.50 : - s DO. '~-- EHrs
It is not to sweep the house, make the
beds, darnthe socks and cook the meals
chiefly that a man wants a wife IF this
is all he needs, a'servant can. do itcheaper
than a wife. If this is all, when a young
man calls to see a lady, send him into the
pantry to taste the bread and cake she
has made; send him to inspect the needle
work and bed-making; or put a broom in
her hand and send him to witness It's use.
Such things are important, and the wise
young man will quickly look after them.
But what the true young man wants with
a wife is her companionship, sympathy
and love. The way of life has many
dreary places in it, and a man needs a
wife to go with HIM. A man is some
times overtaken by misfortunes; he meets
with failures and defeat; trials and temp
tations beset him, and needs one to stand
by and sympathize. He has some hard
battles to fight with poverty, enemies and
SIN, and he needs a woman that when he
puts his arm around her he feels he has
something to fight for; she will help him
to fight; she will put her lips to his ear
and whisper words of counsel, and her
hand to his heart-and impart Inspiration.

Where Young Girls Are Gagged.
From the Pittsburq Disp0tch.


In the report of United States
Consel Griffin, stationed at Sydney,
the Consul tells of aremarkable custom
of the inhabitants of New Britain as
follows: The inhabitants, it is said
by Wallace, have a peculiar custom of
confirming their girls in cages until
they are old enough to be married.
This custom is said to be peculiar to
the people of New Britain. The
cages are made of twigs of the
palm tree, and the girls are
put into them when only two or
three years of age. The Rev. George
Brown established Wesleyan mission
in New Britain in 1876, and l learn
from him that these cages are built in
side the houses, and that the girls are
never allowed to leave the house I'M
der any circumstances. The houses
are closely fenced in with a sort of
wicker-work made of reeds, Ventila-
ton under the circumstances is rem
dered very difficult. The girls are
said to grow up strong and healthful
in spite of these disadvantages.
