Written for the Advertiser,
PRODUCTS OF CYPRUS.
In accordance with my promise
in a previous paper, I now propose
to give some account of the island
of Cyprus, from an agricultural
point of view. Traversed by tho
isothermal lino which runs through
Brunswick, its climate is modified
by two conditions which must
make it differ essentially from ours.
It is an island, and has the insular
climate, while wc have a great con
tinent at our back. It is also
mountainous, while the nearest
mountains are many miles away
from us. It has, in fact, two moun
tain ranges, one stretching along its
northern and the other along its
southern coast, the intervening
plain being exceedingly fertile.
Of course, with such variety of
climate and of soil as the presence
of mountain and valley affords,
there arc products of Cyprus which
it would be vain for us to attempt
to raise here. For instance, her
wlicnt crop is one of her most val
uable crops, and that product is
one which we must give up wholly
to our noble Piedmont region.
The wines of Cyprus have always
been famous, and it was from this
island that the vine was introduced
into the Madeira isles. There are
not a few among us who can testi
fy that wine of admirable flavor,
and of tlic true fruitly bouquet, is
already produced in tho pine for
ests and wire-grass region stretch
ing for so many miles above us in
to the interior of the State. This
industry, then, ought to lie
our greatest sources of prosperity
in the near future.
Besides tobacco and cotton, oth
er important products of Cyprus
are linseed (equal in value to that
of Itoiiilr.lv), sesame, aud the locust
liean (fefruit of the k irouh tree, be
ing those husks which the prodigal
son would fain have eaten, and
which in the East constitutes a val
uable food for cattle. To these
must be added the production of
madder. From the madder root
that famous dye known as Turkey
red is extracted. The plant grows
best in u sandy soil, richly man
ured, and needs a great deal of
moisture. “ Tho crop,” says the
British Consul Long, “may be sown
from seed, hut it is generally plant
ed from shoots. The shoots first
throw out a small leaf aliovc
ground, which begins to dry up
about the sixth month. There is
no further growth above ground,
but the plant shoots down roots in
to the ground. Tlicso continue to
increase in thickness, and grow
downwards in length until the
moisture below affects them. When
they get into too nioist soil, they
become block, or, as the natives
say, they rot In inferior soils this
rotting will begin after eighteen
months, while in the superior soils
the roots continue to improve dur
ing thirty-six months. Hence, in
the trade, Italian madders are dis-
tinguishbd os eighteen-month roots
and thirty-six-month roots. The
madders grown in the district of
Tamagusta, in Cyprus, can only re
main eighteen months in the
ground, while those in tho district
of Morpleon may remain without
Injury hilly thirty-six months. All
the time the root Is in the ground
the surface must be kept thorough,
ly free from weeds. After the root
is lifted, it is*gradually dried. If
packed before being perfectlv dry,
it heats rapidly and deteriorates.—
The produce of an acre of good
madder land is two and one-half
tons of dried roots, worth £40 to
£50. In consequence of this yield,
madder-root lands command a
very high price, and I have known
them to'bring £140 per acre.”
As long ago as 1856; D. J.
Browne, in his Report 6n Seeds
and Cuttings to the U. 8, Commis
sioners of Patents, at the close of a
long recital of the methods of culti
vating madder and preparing the
dy>, remarked
“The quantity of madder yearly
consumed in the United States,
chiefly imported, is variously esti
mated at from 4,000 to 5,000 tons,
valued at, say, at least, $1,000,000,
a sum paid annually to foreign
countries, for an article that might
be produced as cheaply, and of as
good quality, at home.”
May it not be wurth our while to
try madder, then?
Olives and oranges are also cul
tivated in Cyprus, ns in most of the
Mediterranean isles, and as they
certainly can be on our sea-coast,
with profit, if properly cared for.
Owing, however, to the long-con
tinued prostration of the island un
der Turkish rule, the hitter orange
and the wild olive mainly repre
sent these valuable fruits in Cy
prus, and grafting is necessary for
purposes of culture. Under Eng
lish rule, the orange and olive
groves will doubtless in time 1 e-
comc a substantial part of tlie
wealth of the island.
As to the culture of the olive
here, tho success of Mr. Robcr.
Chisholm's experiment on the
South Carolina const affords conclu
sive evidence that on our sem islands
tho olive thrives and yields even
better than in Mediterranean
lauds.
Dissolve common salt in water
sprinkle the same over your ma
nure heap, and the volatile parts
of the ammonia will bccorte fixed
salts from their having united with
the muriatic acid of the common
salt, and the soda thus liberated
from the salt will quickly absorb
carbonic acid, forming carbonate
of soda; thus you will retain with
your manure the ammonia that
would otherwise fly away, and you
have a new and important agent
introduced, viz: the carbonate of
soda, which is a powerful solvent
of all vegetable fiber.—Chantaqua

Successful Farmers.
The general compaint, throughout
the state, for the Inst half dozen
years has been that farming doesn’t
pay. So strong a hold upon the
minds of tbe people has this errone
ous idea obtained, that no younj
man ia willing to farm if be thinks
he baa bi sin enough lo purchase
success io any other calling, or
money enough io give him n good
start in any other pursuit. -Such
n tendency hns this complaint to
throw off thd best and keep tbe
worst, thus constantly draiuitig the
country of its brain, that we are
forced to look almost exclusively to
the old men if we would fiud suc
cessful farmers. But occasionally we
find youug men who are determined
to etny on the farm, and who profit
by the resolution. These have cer
tainly chosen the better part, and
although it seems heroic now, and
it certainly is patriotic, we believe
they will find it profitable,

on it for life, who improves it with
that.intention nnd who cultivates

Original Advice for Drinkers.
Barkeepers io this city pay, on an
average, $2 per gallon for whiskey.
One gallon contains so average of
sixty-five drinks, sod at ten cents a
drink tbe poor men pays $6.60 per
gallon for bis whisksy. In other
words, he pays $2 fur tbe whisk- y
nnd $430 to a man for bauding it
over tbe bar. Make your wife your
barkeeper. Lend her $2 to buy a
gallon of whiskey for • beginning,
and every time yon went • drink go
io her bnd pay ten cents for it. By
ibe time yon have drunk a gallon
she will have $6 50, oreooagb toon-
ey to refnnd tbe $2 borrowed of yon,
to pay fur another gallon of liquor,
and have s btlnnoe of $2.50! 8b<

Save the Manure. .
Even by fiirmera, who should lie
the ones to realize the value there is
in it, there seems to be hut an in
different effort made to save the
hen manure, for much of its value
is wasted by not taking care of it
properly or in time, while it is often
used on such crops as are not calla
ble of utilizing it to the greatest ad
vantage or profit.
Good hen manure from fowls
wfijph have been liberally .fed, is
worth as much as guano (or all kinds
of crops for which guano is used>
and if farmers ancf those who have
small garden patches would only
realize this fact, they would pay
more attention to collecting and
sating the droppings from their
hens than they do. We do "not
think there is much necessity for
cleaning the fowl house out every
day, os some do, hut clean it out
every week, giving it a good sand
ing every time it is cleaned, so os
to keep the floor clean from drop
pings and make it easier to clean
out when necessary. Some sprin
kle ashes, sawdust, chips, etc., on
the floors, but tve consider sand
preferable, for it seems to separate,
to disintegrate, the droppings bet
ter, soon making it by a little care
in working over, almost as fine and
as easily applied os guano or any
cf our superphosphates. We al
ways put it into barrels as soon as
it is taken up from tho chicken
house floor, and convey it to some
dry, airy place where we let it re
main until wanted for use, when
we empty out on a heap and work
it over well liefore applying it to
the crops.—Poultry Bulletin.
Tho Ice Crop of the Hudson.
The ice crop of the Upper Missis
sippi is very great, and the same is
true of other northern ‘rivers from
Minnesota to Maine; but the prob
ability is that more ice is taken
from the Hudson than from any
other stream or ixidy of water, not
only in the United States, but in
all tlie world. The linrvest^this
year has been tho most successful
ever known, both as regards quan
tity and quality. Tho total capac
ity of tho ice houses along the
Hudson exceeds 2,000,000 tons.—
These have been filled to overflow
ing with ice of tho finest kind, and
upward of a million tons in addi
tion have been stockod for early
consumption.
During the gathering time over
10,000 men, nearly 2,000 ooys. 900
horses, and 100 steam engines, were
employed in getting in the crop.—
The pay of the harvesters has
ranged from $1 to $1.75 a day.—
The season began bn the first
week in January, and continued
throughout the month.—Scientific
