Wages in United States in 1900

The condition of the American wage class nearly century ago is full of instruction. In the larger cities unskiIled workmen were hired by the day, bought their own food and found their own lodgings, but in the country, on the farms, or wherever a hand was employed on public work, they were fed and lodged by the employer and given a few dollars month. On the Penn sylvania canals the diggers ate the coarsest diet, were housed in the rudest shed, and paid six dollars d month from May to November, and five dollars a month from November to May. Hod carriers and mortar mixers, diggers and choppers, who from 1793 to 1900 laboreG on the public buildings and cut the streets and avenues of Washington, re- ceived seventy dollars year, or, if they wished, sixty dollars for all the work they could perform from March to December 20. The hours of work were invariably from sunrise to sunset. Wages at Albany and New York were 1s., or, as money then went. 10 cents q day; at Lancaster, eight to ten dollars q month else where in Pennsv svlvania workmen were content with six dollars in sumner and five dollars in winter At Balti- more they were glad to be hired at 1Sd. day. At Fredericksburg the price for labor was five to seven dol lars per month. In Virginia, white men employed by the year were given GIG in currency; slaves, when hired, were clothed, and their mas ters paid fl month. A pound, Virginia money, was, in federal money, S3.33. The average rate of wages all over the country was sG5 a year, with food and perhaps lodging. Out of this small sum the workmen had, with their wives help, to main tain their families. - Scientific American.

Fall Flowing.

Except the lightest sandy soils, all level land will be benefited by fall plow- ing. When well plowed, and to proper depth, the plowed ground will not wash even by the heavy Southern winter rains. That the land will leach and lose it's fertility is a mistake. Nothing will be lost in any case except the nitro gen, which exists in the form of nitric acid or the most soluble nitric salts, and, as a rule, there is no danger of this be- cause of the almost entire absence of this form of nitrogen in the land. On the contrary, it is for the purpose of de- veloping this scarce plant food in tho soil that fall blowing is desirable. Tho turning over of the soil aids in the change of the abundant inert nitrogen, which is mostly combined with the car bonaceous organic matter in the soil, into soluble nitrates, and this process goes on slowly during the fall and carly spring, and where the ground is not frog on even during the winter Consequent- ly the ldAd is brought into more fertile condition by the fall blowing, and be- sides this gain, there is another of much importance, viz: the spring work is for warded so much, and the crops may be put in so much earlier.-American Agri- oulturist.

Hints on Driving Nails.

Every farmer who has had occasion to drive a nail into seasoned oak posts knows it's liability to bend or break. If the point be moistened in tho mouth it will drive more kindly. Oil is still bet ter, bn, then it Is inconvenient to dip each nail separately into it. Another point observed is that boards become loose eventually from the rusting of the nails, which, communicating to the wood, causes not an enlargement of the nail hole but the wearing away of the nail itself. rendering the fence or the building shaky or insecure. This may be prevented by heating any rough grease until it smokes, and then pouring it over the nails to be used. Tho grease will penetrate the pores of tho iron, and cause the nails to last, without rusting, an indefinite period. Besides this, no trouble will then be experienced in driv- ing them into the hardest wood. The reason is that the coating of grease pre- vents contact of air, and consequently oXidaticn.-Chicago Journal.

THE FARMING WORLD.
WAREHOUSE FOR GRAIN.
A simple, Cheap and Durable House iof
 Farm Storage.

A Simple, Cheap and Durable House for
 Farm storage
 Mir. Edward O'Donnell, Ramsey Coun- .v, Minn.. writes to the American Agri- culturist in behalf of himself and other subscribers in the Northwest for the plan of practical storage warehouse for grain. He adds: "Mistakes are often made in estimating the strength ol materials for buildings and bins to hold grain. It is no rare thing to see farm CTS granary bursted and the grain scattered over the ground. Another difficulty with our present style of gran aries is the labor involved in putting in and taking out the grain, climbing over the tops of the bins and the grain every time"
 Our illustration shows very simple and cheap form of farm storage building. 1t may be of any desired dimensions. In a neighborhood of mOderate-sized farms it is we'll for several farmers to join in building one in convenient location, each owner having separate bins for hls own grain. The underpinning, sills and posts must be firm and substantial, but the rest of the structure may be built oI
Nevada County picayune., 1890-01-01

A NORTHWESTERN GRAIN WAREHOUSE. comparatively light materials, as the pressure of the grain falls on the bins, which are made sufficiently strong to withstand 1t. A platform for loaded grain wagons extends along the entire length outside of the building, with an inclined approach at each end. The bins extend from two feet above the upper floor downward to within three feet of the ground. It is quite as well to leave the lower story with no floor at all, except the smoothly-packed earth. The lower part of the bins is made to taper down. ward, like an inverted pyramid, with hole on one side of the apex covered by a slide.
 The cheapest and strongest method Of constructing the bins is of inch boards laid fiatwiso, one above the other, lap ping at the corners. The width of the boards makes the thickness of the bin, which is from three to six inches, &C., cording to size nd capacity. The bins are supported y strong posts resting on nudsills. The wagons are driven up one of the inclines to the platform and unloaded by carrying the grain into the warehouse and pouring it into the bins, or run in through a spout projecting through the side of the house. When 1t Is desired to remove the grain, the slide at the bottom of the bin is raised, open ing the outlet, and the grain drawn out. In very large warehouses the bins are so high that wagon may be driven under them and the grain drawn directly into 1t.

SHEEP AS SCAVENGERS.
The Most Effective Way of Clearing the
 Farm of Weeds.


 Now that sheep are coming to the front once more, it is possible that some at present very unproductive and worth less slashings will be brought to profit able condition. No other animal Is so at war with natures wildness as the sheep. Scarcely any noxious thing ex- cept missiles will gain foothold in sheep pasture; and there is no way of subduing a clearing so thoroughly as to set sheep a-fecding there. l know of a clearing of ten acres that has been noth- ing but bill of expense for eight years, which now (harring stumpS) might have been clean, bluegrass pasture If it had been made a run for a small flock of sheep. The owner has had a spell Of cutting brush and weeds about once in two years, and now the last end of the field is worse than the first. One of the beauty-spots is n half-acre patch of teasles As a run for cattle the field has certainly not been worth twenty-five cents an acre, and many of the stumps are no nearer decay than eight years ago, the roots having been kept alive by growing sprouts.-L. E. Pierce, in N. Y. Tribune.
