article on the cost ol produing
steel rails. It sums up the cost of
a ton of steel rails at Pittsburgh as
follows: Cost of pig metal, includ

etc., $15,18 ; cost of ingots, per ton.
$22.48; cost of steel rails per gross
ton, $26.83. It is also stated that
the cost of making a ton of steel
rails in England at present is $20.17.

Hie arrival on our shores of
thousands of emigrants attracts
but little attention now a days,
but the adventof a complete facto
ry, including both machines and
operatives, is an event ol .more
than passing interest in so far as
it may be the forerunner of .similar
undertakings, the effect of which
will be markedly felt among us.
Mr. John Cooper who has under
taken this novel enterprise, has
built anew and commodious brick
mill for the manufacture of hosiery
at Simmonsville, a small place near
Providence, R. 1., which, he has
tilled with machinery inported
from-lingiand, and the operatives
which he has brought from Notting
ham, England, will begin work at

The great racing steamers of the
Atlantic lines have repeatedly, du
ring ths past year, beaten all previ
ous races of voyages across the
Atlantic. Bo frequently lias this
been done and so small have been
the differences, it is by no me: n
settled which ship can make tins
trip in the shortest time when cir
cumstances are all favorable. Dif
ferences in the conditions under
which the various trips have been
made have been such
that no conclusion has been
reached which is not liable to be
overthrown on the next voyager.
Before this question is solved, the
new steamer “Unjbin’' will prodablv
reduce the record, between New
York and Liverpool, so low that
the speed of the “Oregon’, or of the
“America’’will have very little in
terest for the public. Mr. Douglass,
the consulting engineer of the firm
bv whom the“Umbria” was built,
thinks she will make her average
fast passage in six days and a half,
and under the most favorable cir
cumstances she will do it in six
days.
Where Does,the Trouble Lie? 1
The inimitable Josh Billings says 1
that “a fool can tell which mule
| kicked hirn last, but that it takes a
: wise man to tell which mule will j
-ki k him next.” So it is easy to j
! see that something is wrong with I
the agricultural interest of the j
| country, hut it takes a wise head to ;
i heat -and point out the disorder. •
| When a man gets sick he sends j
| for a physician. The first thing j
i the doctor does is to ascertain what i
! tlio disease is, and the next thing j
I is what is the remedy for the com-,
S plaint. This is common sense.
Now let the farmers apply the same
rule. Let them first ascertain
wimt the difficulties are that stand
in ll.eway of profitable agriculture.
Then, as a matter, of course, apply
the remedy. But right here is
where the trouble is. When doc
tors disagree, who is to settle the
dispute? Wise men differ as to
where the trouble lies. Commis
sioner Henderson who occupies a i
portion that enables him to in nv j
as much about farming and the
condition of the farmer as any man ;
in Georgia, says that farming does
not pay in this State. Gen. Toombs
says that “every day when the .■•un
goes down in Georgia it sets on a
pooryr people than it rose on the
preceding morning.” Col. B. M.
Tuner, who is a good writer and a
man of original thought, says the*
trouble is “the division of* the re -
ward- between agricultural and
other labor is unequal.” lie thinks
the number of men engaged in
wearing out manufactured articles
is altogether disproportionate to
those engaged in their production.
But if this be true, how is it that
manufacturers all over the land are
cutting down prices or suspending
work because there is no-profits in
manufacturing?
Now comes along Barney Lil
ian!, who is one of the best agricul
tural writers of the South, and
gives his opinion of the cause ol
the farmer’s failure. Mr. LillardV
style and the style of the writer ol
thought, seems to take on the order
of the Hebrew proverbs. Hear
what he has to suv in Form nod
Home in issue of December 15th,
1884. “For a long time pa t I
have been th’nk lig of the farmer
and his condition m life, i have
seen millions of bales of cotton
have gone to market; I have seen
the n.a y millions of b labels of
wheat, oats, barley and other grain,
that have been raised by the farm
ers, and. sent to feed the millions of
people that live in cities; I have
seen the land checkered with rail
roads that carried all this produce
to market; I have seen our rivers
covered with palatial steamers that
told of the wealth of the builders ;
I have seen villages grow to be cit
ies ; and I looked to see if any of
this great ivealth stayed with the
farmer. But I saw none. And
then l lookedto find tin* cause of
all this. Why it was that others
got rich while the farmer got poor
er, or barely held his own. I found
that it was one thing, and only
one —the want of education; noth
ing else. Not exactly the educa
tion one gets at school, but the
education that is gotten by reading
such papers as are devoted to the
interest of the farmer; the educa
tion that is gotten by meeting to
gether and discussing the farmer’s
interest—by laying down your in
dividuality and learning to band
together for protection.”
So you see all three of these
wise men differ in regard to the
cause of failure. Col. Tuner says
it is because “the division of the
rewards between agricultural and
other lab’or is unequal.” Mr. Lil
ian! says, it is the want of agricul
tural education. Commission' r
Henderson, I omitted to say.
thinks it is because the farmers of
Georgia have neglected to improve
their lands. Bays the farmer buys
fertilizers, stimulates his land and
grows a large crop, but ho returns
nothing to the soil. Bo his land is
gradually wearing out, and the
owner consequently growing poor
er.
The writer has no opinion to ex
press on the subject further, than
that he leans to the opinion that
Commissioner Henderson is on the
right track. That the cultivation
ol (Pm crops oil land year after
year has exhausted the vegetable
mold, an element that is absolutely
essential to profitable farming.
One of! he greatest drawbacks to
profitable farming in Georgia is too
much rain at one time and too lit
tle at other times. Well, this is a
matter that we cannot help, but
every good farmer has observed
that new land stands both drouth
and rain much better than old or
worn land. When land has all the
elements or properties that the
virgin soil contains, it is seldom
hurt much by either too much
rain or drouth. This year the
writer cultivated a long narrow
plat of land in cotton. Six acres
of this plat was fresh land and two
acres old land. It was all prepared
I alike and planted the same day,and
j 250 lbs. acid-phosphate and cotton
seed meal applied to each per acre.
The cotton on the old land grew off
well, and looked as well as the cot
ton on the new land as long as the
season M'as good, but about the sth
of June it set in raining, and con
tinued most of the time to rain for
[five weeks. During this time the
I cotton on the old land turned yel
[ low and showed signs of rust, but
the cotton on the fresh land con
i tinned green. After this long spell
| of wet weather it set in dry and the
cotton oh the old land began to
j fire and shed off much worse than
did the cotton on the fresh land.
180 it will be seen that crops on
i fresh land stand both drouth and
[rain better than crops on old land.
I Bucli being the case it would ap
| pear that the true policy for the
| farmer then is to keep the land in a
condition as near as possible to
what it was when the virgin soil
was first cultivated. This can only
be done by growing peas or clover,
or allowing the land to rest and
grow up in weeds, so as to keep
the soil full of vegetable mold. _
Col. Tunnel - says that his friend
applied a ton of guano to the acre
and made 1,45 pounds of lint cot
ton. Now suppose this soil had
been rich in vegetable mold, is it
| not likely that 500 pounds of guano
would have produced that amount
lof lint cotton? If so, then that
would have been a paying crop.
As the Commissioner of Agricul
ture of Georgia has stated that
farming does not pay in Georgia
and as the Commissioner ought to
know, the writer suggested in an
artidle contributed to the Southern
Cultivator, that the farmers of
Georgia hold an agricultural con
vention —send a few good men from
each county to meet in some cen
tral city, and that this convention
investigate this matter thoroughly,
and if it is found that farming does
not pay them, let this convention
point out the error, and if p issible
devise a plan by which farming
can by made profitable. “In tire
multitude of counselors there is
safety.” This was true 2,600 years
ago. and it is equally true now.
Farmers have generally imagined
that they must, in all eases, get
other classes to do for them what
they ought to do themselves. There
appears to be a want of confidence
on the part of farmers in their ca
pacity to effect, a revolution with
out outside help. There is really
no grounds for any such fear.
Herodotus, the Griek historian,
who wrote about 2,400 years ago,
gives this historical fact: Among
the multitude of islands in the
lonian sea there were two hearing
the names of Parian and Miletus.
The people of Miletus were afflict
ed with internal discard and strife,
which had destroyed the peace of
the whole population. The people
of this Island finally sought the in
terpositiorf of the people of Parian
Island, who were happy and pros
perous under wise and wholesome
local laws.
A committee of arbitration and
adjustment was selected by the in
habitants of Parian island to visit
Miletus, and those selected accept
ed the commission and immediate
ly entered upon its important duty.
They found the island in a state of
anarchy and confusion. The first
request of the eomn.i-sion was
to examine the condition of the
farms of the inhabitants and as they
went along on their tour of obser
vation, they made note of the name
of the owners of farms whose lands
were under good cultivation, and
showed evidence of judgment and
thrift. After they had completed
their investigations and had gath
ered all the material facts, they cal
led together the inhabitants of the
entire island of Miletus to make
the report. The commision reecom
mended that the management of
the affairs of the island he placed
under the control of those farmers
whose lands werq best cultivated
and managed.
Soou peace and order followed,
and the inhabitants of Miletus en
joyed the same prosperity as were
enjoyed by the inhabitants Parian
island.
The inhabitants of Parian island
showed their wisdom in selecting
farmers to restore harmony to iLs
organize condition of society. They
did not select the magistrates, jud-j
ges, lawmakers, lawyers, but ap- j
pointed farmers to remove the
cause of disorder. Nothing is more j
common than for men to attack the
effect instead of removing the cause j
but these wise men struck out the
cause that produced the trouble.
Let any man who has a philoso
phical turn of mind set down and
take a review of the affairs of this
country for the last fifty years and
he will’find that, when the farming
interest of the nation, prospered
that it.*, and a wh.dt some effect mor
allv soimllly physically on the peo
ple-of the entire nation. A disor-]
dered condition of the agricultural
affairs breaks merchants and all
class of business men ; it throws all
classes of laborers out of employ
ment and fills the land with tramps.
This condition of affairs leads to
all kinds of crime and if not arres
ted will end in anarchy and confu
sion. The man who is wise enough
to set on foot a resolution in farm
ing which will result in the prosper
ity of tl e people will be a public
benefactor. Who will be the Mos
es or the Cineinnatus that will lead
the people out of this wilderness of
trouble.

Mistakes of Farmers.
An exchange furnishes us with
| the following list:
To think that any one can farm ;
I that a man who has starved as a
| canvasser for a patent tooth-pick
| or had been unsuccessful carpenter
J can jump into a business requiring
| high intelligence, and persevering
| efforts, and, being unfamiliar with
i details* be able to make money.
The idea that a large farm, half
| stocked and poorly cultivated pays
j better than a few acres well and
| carefully tilled.
What is it but the worst kind of
a mistake to pay hundreds of dol-
I !:irs for good iarm machinery, and
allow it for want of proper shelter
to rot and become useless a year or
so sooner than it should?
It is a mistake to let year after
i year pass by with no attempt to im
| prove the quality of the farm stock.
! Blooded cattle "pay. They make
| beef quicker, and the cows give
I more and richer milk. Better blood
in horses pay. A Norman or part
i Norman coit is a valuable piece of
property.
5. To let foolish pride or narrow
minded jealousy prevent the adop
tion of new methods “when they
have been pro veil by practical
men.
To got up after the sun, lean on
the fork handle, speculate for an
hour or two on what the Weather
is going to be, let the weeds get a
good start, and then wonder why
farming doesn’t pay.
To leave a lot of unchopped, wet
or half-split wood at the pile, a lot
of old harness hanging in the kitch
en and muddy tracks in the dining
room and expect to see the women
folks good-natured.
To have a lot of half-fed emacia
ted, lonesome looking fowls roost
ing dejectedly in some old cotton
wood tree, when a few good, heal
thy, Plymouth Rock or Brahma
chickens properly housed, would
make the poult v yard an honor in
stead of a disgrace.
Setting Milk For Cream.
There is some difference of opin
ion in regard to the setting of milk.
Borne persons choose the shallow
pan and some the deep pail system
and those who practice either one
or the other believe their method
the best. Indeed, it is difficult fur an
expert dairyman who practices both
systems to say which of these two
methods is the better, excepting so
far as it may be a matterofconven
ience. For instance, without a sup
ply of cold water or ice the deep
pail method cannot be used’ and the
shallow pans only are available;
while with a good supply of either
the deep pails are economical of
space and in every way less trouble
than the pans. The most important
consideration in setting the milk
is the raising of the cream. This
depends ujxn a settled principles
of hydrostatics, which is that one
fluid that is lighter than another
will rise to and float upon its surface
Cream is lighter than milk, and ac
cording to the rule of gravity the for
mor will rise through and float upon
the latter. There are some conditions
which control and regulate this
movement. The relative density of
the two fluids are changed by differ
ences of temperature. Warm milk
is lighter for the same hulk than
cold, because cold eodenses it, and
a cubic foot or a measured gallon
of milk at 45 degrees is heavier
than the same bulk at 65 degrees.
But the gravity of the cream is not
changed to so great an extent as
that of the milk, and the cream
becomes relatively lighter under
these circumstances, and ctmsequen
tly rises to the surface more rapidly
This is the principle upon which
the Swedish dairymen have prac
ticed their deep pail and cold water
system of setting milk, and this
system has been adopted by Amer
ican dairymen with much success.
It may be applied to either deep
pans or shallow pans, or to earthen
pans, a sort of intermediate compro
mise between the two.
Do Le-sops’ Panama ship canal
scheme his quiety moved forward
during the year, and has reached
such a point of expenditure that
it is difficult to see how the stock
holders can be persuaded to for
ward. Money has been wasted, or
used like water, if current reports
are to he believed. Sacrifice of
money has been small as compared
with the waste of human life. If
the work is to go forward to com
pletion, the slaughter will not be
less than that caused by the world’s
j greatest wars. Trautwine, the fa
mous engineer, said, years ago, after
a pretty careful survey ofthe Isth
mus and the De Lcsseps’ line, that
a sea-level canal would cost $3000,-
000,000- The reported expenditu
res. so far. seem tq justify this esti
timate. If the magnificence of the
preliminary works is kept up in
I those which pertain to the canal
itself, all the wealth of France
| would appear to be in order to
| finish it. Progress on the canal
I has not by any means equaled the
; brilliant promises made in 18S3.
j While 'the contractors appear to be
working pluckily at their tasks,
these tasks do not seem to he of a
kind to rapidly forward the work
itself.

An Exploded Boom
A long, lank, lean and chronic Anti-potash

for support.
•‘Don’t lean on me,” said the B. B. B. Boom.
“I may look strong, but I am quite young
only H months old, and am growing rapidly,

But what causes you to look so thin of fate?”
“Well, I hardly know.” replied the Anti-

Remarkable Results.
I have had remarks.b; success with .Swift’s
: specific; let ve cured several case* permanent
j Jy in a very uovt time. One case which I am
now treating was given up to die, ami after
using three bottles Is so far recovered that I
think *>r.*- more Unite will cure her. The
moat r.-markable case of all was a lady with
i e dulary cancer of the womb, for whom I
j bud n*' hope whatever. After using one bottle
j I am satisfied she will soon 1 c cured.
