THE SLAVE-TRADE.

Inhuman Manner In Which Slaves We're
: = FIR Carried in the Old Ships.
In the larger ships the space between
the top Of the cargo and the under side
Of the deck was sometimes as much as
five feet. To devote all that space to
air was. in the mind of the. thrifty
SLAYER, sheer waste. So he built a
shelf or gallery six feet wide all the
way around the ships hold. between
the deck and the slave, floor that was
laid on top Of the cargo On this shelf
was placed another layer. of slaves,
thus increasing the number carried
by nearly SO per cent. The crowding
in the big ships, having two decks reg
ularly, was still worse, for a slave
deck was built clear across between
these two, and the galleries or shelves
were built both under and above the
slave-deck. There were ships where
four layers of slaves were placed thus
between permanent decks that. were
only eight feet apart, and there are
records of cases where smaller ships
ships having but three feet or so Of
space between cargo and deck-were
fitted with galleries, so that the slaves
stretched on their backs had but foot
Or less of air-space between their
faces and the deck or the next, layer
above them To increase the number
carried, when stretched out on deck or
shelf, the slaves were sometimes placed
on their sides. breast to back-"spoon
fashion, as the slavers call it-and
this made room for considerable per
cent extra. However. in the eigh-
teenth century the usual practice was
to place them on their backs, and to
allow about two and half feet of air
space above the face of the slave, and
in this way cargoes of over three hun.
dred were carried.-From "The Slave

the defendants told him they would

they tied his legs together, put cloth
over his eyes and branded him with
red-hot tongs. This was his initiation
Two days later. there was a further
ceremony. in the course of which the
defendants stripped him naked, fast
ened his feet together with one rope,
suspended him from a beam with an
other rope passed round his waist and
then swung him backwards and for

Beef Making on Every Farm.

r. NJ. Allen. in an address to west
ern stockmen, said: As to scale of
operations, I have never had any ex-
perience of feeding number of cattle
small enough to watch carefully with
my own eyes during the process Of fat
tening. The proper form the industry
of cattle feeding should take, for the
real permanent benefit OF a meat-pro-
ducing country is that of a generally
moderate scale of operations, and some
beef, at least, should be produced on
every farm. This the only rational
method Of retaining the fertility of the
soil Of this country. The only objec-
ton to very small scale OF operations,
such as the production Of half a dozen
or ten steers a year on one farm, is
/: the difficulty of marketing this small
number. to advantage. Another diff
icplty in the way Of marketing
small numbers is, that many of the
class Of farmers who are compelled
through a limited capital, to feed on a
very small scale if at all, do not, in
this part of the world at least, know
enough about cattle to be able to get
fair value WREN they sell them. Scat
tered about through every portion OF
the country are men feeding on more

The Home Herd.

considerations in beef production is
that we, as stock raisers, should grow
our own stock. This regard as a very
important matter. The large number
of failures in the cattle business points
to the fact that we, as farmers, are
not sufficiently we'll acquainted with
the effects of acclimation and domesti-
cation Of cattle brought from any great
distance to the south or west. In other
words, we are unfamiliar with the
amount of shrinkage likely to occur
during the period Of adjustment to eli
matte and other conditions. Nor do
we understand the laws OF growth OF
these foreigners, and compare them too
favorably with well-bred animals at
home. I could enumerate many stock
men and farmers who have nearly
kankrupted themselves. largely on &C.
count of their unfamiliarity with the
growth and development Of these west
ern breeds. Again, quite a number OF
farmers came to the conclusion some
years ago that it did not pay to keep
COW herd: that the amount Of feed
and care they, required rendered them
Improbable; that steers which they
wanted could be bought cheaper than
raised. These very same farmers are
now struggling to develop their COW
herds, and a good berd Of them is en-
We'd almost above anything else on this
farm. This is another reason why II
pays to keep right on raising ones own
cattle. Nearly every farmer who has
done so is less subjected to financial
EN- barrassment, because he is more
able to make accurate calculations OF
his income. Then, again. some stock
4raisers think there is 4 always money
to be made in feeding, when ii
very frequently happens that the steers
/ fulfilled would have netted the owner
more clear cash if they had been sold
of Of grass. It is now apparently most
profitable here to sell steers between
two and three years old, whether full
fed or sold off grass. Usually four or
five times as much pork as beef can
be produced with the same amount OF
corn, and this should be taken into &C
count IN an intelligent comparison,
with beef pro uction in It's most eco
nomic sense. Usually well bred cattle
make the most gain. and sell for :
higher price than scrubs. VI u. 4.

that prices will keep up well espe-
scially In the great shipping and mar
ket centers. England Is now taking
several million barrels per year, and
the markets on the continent are be-
ing gradually opened. These foreign
m ma kets demand the best we have and
are willing to pay for it. It creates a
rapid movement Of good fruit in our
big markets and prices for good fruit
is stimulated accordingly. The diff

poor fruit must become greater as the
foreign trade increases, tor the poor

originated in the United States. It

We notice by recent market quota
tons on peaches that the smaller
baskets sold at wholesale at from 8
to 20 cents per basket. The same
peaches retailed at the stands at from
! Is to 80 cents per basket. The re-
taller made 7 cents on the poor and
10 cents on the good peaches. But
what about the producer? The basket
that sold for 20 cents cost no more
to handle than the one that sold at
8 cents. The cost of the empty basket
was the same. the cost of transport
was the same, and the labor connected
with the two would not differ. 1t is
doubtful if the Scent peaches gave
the producer single cent OF profit;
while it is certain that the 2O-cent
peaches did. The moral is plain-the
growers must stop marketing inferior
peaches. Thinning the fruit while
it is small should be universally
practiced. We believe, however, that
thinning is becoming quite common,
as there has been a very large sup
ply of good peaches on the Chicago
market this year. The writer has no
remembrance of season when It was
so easy to get large and properly
packed fruit. There seems also to
have been great improvement in the
packing of fruit. Usually peaches in
the Chicago market have been merely
faced with good peaches, but this year
honesty in packing is apparent. The
statesmen seem to have awakened to
the demands Of the hour and are will
ing to guarantee the contents of their
baskets as being uniform throughout.
This Improvement is largely due to the
constant agitation carried on by the
agricultural press and by the numer-
Gus horticultural societies and fruit
: shippers unions. To all appearances
the trade in peaches this year has
been large and profitable one. The
good work should go on till there are
no poor peaches sold on the market.
