THERE is great rush of Northern
skilled labor into the Southern States,
where better wages and more profitable
opportunities are offered. Alabama is
the favorite field.
A NEW and valuable fiber is said to
have been found in the stalk of the
okra plant, of which two crops per
year can be raised in Florida. 1t is said
to be superior to jute or sisal hemp.
IN Hull, England, common painters
get fourteen cents per hour; in Leeds,
Bradford, ETC., fifteen, and in London
from sixteen to seventeen. A five-room
house costs five dollars per month.
MoLDs for casting iron can only be
made in sand. Iron or other metallic
molds chill the iron, and it does not fit

melts will burn any other material or
will stick so as to break the mold.
A SYSTEM of building houses entirely
of sheet iron has been communicated to
the Society of Architecture in Paris.
The walls, partitions, roofs and vain
soothing are composed of double metal
lie sheets, separated by an air mattress,
which is surrounded by different non
conductors of heat.
THE great increasing demand for
electric lighting for the streets of cities
and towns, as we'll as factories, public
buildings, ETC., and the consequent
growing familiarity of the public with
the subject, makes it imperative for
parties who are furnishing themselves
or others with electric lights to look
not only to the first cost, but also to the
efficiency of the apparatus, and deter
mine the saving at the end of the year.
THE great and little manufacturers all
over the country are crowded with shop,
mill and factory work, and overtime is
quite common in cities and towns. Iron
and steel are advancing in price. Steel
rails have gone up four dollars per ton
in four months; pig iron one dollar per
ton; nails ten cents per keg. Hardware
has advanced, and the fear now is that
prices will take another advance and
alarm and check enterprise, which is
proverbially timid.

PRINTERS INK.
Its Value to the Breeder and the Necessity
for Using It.

Its Value to the Breeder and the Necessity
for Using It.
''There is no use in talking about it,
no man can succeed as breeder without
the most liberal use of printers ink"
That is what we heard fall from the lips
of an old and successful breeder the
other day. This is truly one of the &C.
equations where it will not do to hide
your light under bushel. The reason
for all this is simple enough. Suppose
for number OF years you have been
assiduously attending to your breeding
business on your farm, saying nothing
to any one through the press, attending
fairs and sales perhaps, but not giving
any one to understand that you possess
the spirit of a leader in your line of bust
ness, and what is the result? You become
overloaded with live stock and, being
forced to advertise, no one knows who
you are, and those who are in need OF
the very animal you have to sell con.
clude that, as they never heard Of you
before, the chances are that you are
mere adventurer in the business, one
who has bought up lot of animals tc
sell again. Such we say is the very
natural conclusion, from the fact that
you were not known to the community
of which you are part.
Perhaps you are not a writing man and
know nothing of the art of quill-driving,
That amounts to nothing. If you have
any ideas of your own. and it is a pool
man that has none, they can readily
be put in form by the editor Of good
journal. But if you so much dislike
writing as to refuse to do it under any
and all circumstances, then you must
advertise the more, for the lack of this.
Advertise you should do any way; even
If it be but small one, it should be in
several journals, and stay there year in
and year out. Keep yourself before the
public.
One good way to court public atten-
ton is showing stock at fairs. 1t mat
tiers very little who gets the premium,
your gain comes from the notice you
get from every journal that mentions
the fair. All such scribblers praise you,
no matter what you have on exhibition.
Then there is the advertisement of pub
lie sales; of course the better the ami
mails you have in the sales the more they
advertise you, but you should get into
those sales even if you come in at the
tail end. We know number of men
who have been handling fine stock for
twenty to thirty years, always breeding
and buying the best, but who have never
succeeded in selling to a great advan-
tage, simply because they have neglected
the proper use of printers ink.-Amer-
lean Dairyman.

KEY WEST CIGARS.
A Glimpse of the Tobacco Factories an
Cuban WOrkmen.

A Glimpse of the Tobacco Factories and
Cuban Workmen.
A visit to the cigar factories of Key
West would repay any tourist. The
finest leaf from Northwestern Cuba,
from the Vuelta Abajo, Partidas and
Vuelta Arriba is brought to our shores,
where, under the same climate influ-
ences, it is rolled into cigar shape.
While novice can roll cigar that will
smoke, considerable practice is neces-
sary to become expert enough to earn
SIS or s35 per week, because workmen
are paid according to the number of CT
CARS rolled. The operator rolls to-
gether sufficient quantity of ma
terial to form the filling of one
cigar. Experience enables him to
select leaves of uniform grade. This
filling may also be made by machinery,
but the best Havana brands are always
rolled by hand. The filler is then wrapped
in the inner cover, which is an oblong
piece of leaf, then rolled to bring it into
proper shape, and then rolled in the
outer cover or wrapper, which is SO
shaped as to inclose the whole in a
cover, beginning at the thick end and
running down to the fine point, where it
IS OcAUeEOuS1y hhiohCo ny S"AoSAAS ~
a point between the fingers. The cigar
is then allowed either to dry naturally
or the process is hurried by artificial
heat.
The finest brand of Havana cigars is
the ssveguera," after which come the
s.regalias." The former are made of the
leaf when half dried, and no water is
used, but the latter, or regalias, made
from the dampened, dried leaf. are in
no way superior to the Key West
cigar made from the same leaf.
While the word ''legitima" brands
a Havana cigar as made in that city
and of Cuban tobacco, the brand key
West cigar" does not mean that the
cigar was manufactured in Key West,
because Tampa and jacksonville, being
in the same internal revenue district.
are taking advantage of that fact by
turning out key West" cigars, and it
is for this reason that Key West wishes
to have its own separate district for the
better protection of it's brands of cigars.
Tampa and Jacksonville have not the
same climate as Key West and Cuba.

the California wines made in Chicago
injure the reputation of the genuine
brands from the Pacific slope.
While it is all hustle and work at Key
West during the day, after working
hours it is singularly quiet town. The
mild, soft evenings permit families to
sit in the open air, and in strolling
through the streets at night the lighted
ends of cigars and cigarettes are so thick
in front of the houses as to remind one
of firefiies. The little darkies and the
children of the poorer classes of Cubans
play together on footing of social
equality.

Saving Manure.

Successful gardening means plenti-
full application of fertilizers, and, in
deed, there should be more attention
given to saving manure on the farm
than is now bestowed. Our land is
mostly very fertile naturally, but
manure does not hurt any land, and the
time will come when either we OR those
who come after us must fertilize the
land. But the garden needs manure,
and we would raise the best garden
crops. In the first place, we should have
a barnyard that is fitted for saving the
manure. If the yard is one that per-
mits all the drainage to run to waste we
shall lose good deal. The drainage
should be taken care of somehow, it
being left to the individual judgment in
each case as how best to do that. Then
in piling up manure it is much better to
put it into fiat heap. If you pile horse
manure on to high, loose place fer
mentation will be excessive and vast
deal of ammonia will be wasted. If it
is put into fiat pile the process of fer
mentation can be regulated, for when
it is too great the pile can be trodden
down. That will check fermentation.

A Practical Success.

| The Spreckles beet sugar enterprise in
Santa Cruz County. says the San Fran
cisco Call, has proved a practical sue
cess, and the world is thereby furnished
with another illustration of Claus
Spreckles' sagacity. This latest sue
| cess increases the business prestige of
Spreckles to an enormous extent. He
said the enterprise would succeed and
was sanguine in the face of failures. He
held that previous experiments had not
been properly made and could not be
| considered as true tests. The beet sugar
factory at jacksonville has been running
two weeks, and a crushing of $50 tons of
beet day has yielded forty tons of
sugar. The enterprise is highly appre-
ciated by the farmers of the jacksonville
region and the people of the town, for
the very excellent reason that it has de-
veloped one season of prosperity and in
sured more. 1t is to be hoped that Mr..
Spreckles will look into other industries
after he has finished with sugar. A man
of his intelligence and force should not
confine his attention to any one product.
