A BLACKING MONOPOLY. THE PADRONE SYSTEM HAS IN VADED NEW YORK'S FERRIES. Who Control the Bootblacking Privi lege Board tho Ferryboat and la Largo Business Buildings A Batlnen That Has Grown. ) The unfailing law of business is that wherever there ia an opportunity for the profitable investment of capital the money is forthcoming to keep that busi ness booming and to seize upon the most advantageous sites." And so it has come about that capitalists have not disdained to take hold of the bootblacking busi ness. While waiting for a boat outside of the Twenty-third street ferry to Jer sey City a Sun reporter got a shine from a remarkably bright and efficient Amer ican boy, whose mode of cleaning and shining indicated a good deal of . experi ence. "Why don't you go inside and pick up business on the boats, where your cus tomers can get comfortable seats?" in quired the reporter. - "I wish I could," said the boy, "but they woa't let me do it." "Why, I have seen boys on the boats blacking boots, and they seem to make lota of money." . V x es. , J. ney aonx see a aay inai iney do not pick np at least a dollar, and from that all the way up to three or four, or sometimes five. But they can't keep the money themselves." "Why not?" : "They have to give it up to the Italian padrones. There are three Italians who have bought the right from the railroad company, and they are the only ones who are permitted to black boots on the ferryboats. They have hired a lot of Italian boys, to whom they pay three dollars or four dollars a week, and the boys- are compelled to give up all their earnings to the padrones who hire them. If the boys do not turn in an amount that is believed to be all their earnings the padrones put on spotters and watch them, and see that they do pay up. , BOOTBLACK PRINCES. ' "Wellj why don't you go in and buy the right to shine boots on the boats?' "Me? Why, do you know what those padrones pay for the right to black boots on all the boats? They pay over $2,000 a year, and keep the men's cabins clean. A poor boy hasn't much chance to get that job. I used to work for them, but I find I can make more money by stand ing outside and catching some of the customers before they get on the boat. Then all I get is clean profit, and I don't have to pay over to any padrone." On all the steamboats and steamships And railroads, at the hotels, in front of ealooM in fact, everywhere where men go there are to be found capitalist boot blacks who hire the best places, or there is an arrangement by which the owner of the boat or hotel or barber shop hires some one to do the bootblacking and takes the money himself. There have thus arisen several bootblack princes, such as the enterprising Italian who has the monopoly of the bootblacking at the Produce exchange, or the happy colored gentleman who does up the business in the Equitable building. . Many of the bootblack princes have wives and families and nice homes, and they dress well and live well. At the big hotels the income from the privilege of blacking boots is a considerable part of the revenue of the house. It has long ceased to be a perquisite of the servant. A chair in a good place will yield five dollars a day for bootblacking, and on xtra occasions a good deal more. The bulk of the work is done by men. It really requires considerable bone and sinew to black a pair of boots well, and the man who has once noticed the differ im hotwivn th wav an averace bov does it and the way a man takes hold of the work will not care to risk the boy's work again. j ART IN BLACKING COOTS. There aro a good many points about blacking boots that give scope to the genius of the workman, as in all manual occupations. The bootblack who once establishes a reputation for quick and good work has his fortune made. - Men will go out of their way to meet him, nd will wait their turn as for a favor ite barber. On hot days bootblacks' chairs are very tempting on the street corners in the shade, and many a man stops and takes a shine jost for a rest. The sum mer is the bootblacks' harvest, because there is so much traveling and so much dust. Some saloon keepers exact rent from the Italians who have chairs for bootblacking in front of their saloons. Others are content to use the Italians' services in cleaning np the place or for running errands. Sometimes the pro prietors come out and occupy the chairs as lounging, places, to the great chagrin of the Italian owners. . some tune ago is was poinieu out mat a, good many women would get their hoes cleaned and shined as men do if they could have the same facilities. Nobody seems to have acted on this sug gestion yet. But it seems likely that there would be money in it. When one others will follow. As it is, many women are ashamed of their shoes, and long to Setup on the chairs and have, a shine. Occasionally a venturesome girl does so, but she generally finds herself an object of considerable curiosity. Improvements may be seen in the evo lution of the bootblacking business. Fancy chairs, better blacking, a man at each foot. theTise of chamois bands for finishing, little points of attention to dress, the varnishing of russet shoes, the oil shine all these show that the boot blacks are in harmony with the spirit of the age; that they have their eyes open to the necessity for keeping . pace with the progress that is going on in other de partments of human activity.. When the chorus of the nations calls upon each business to show what it has done of im ' portance in the evolution of society the modern bootblack will take no subor dinate place, but he will shine like one pf his own more pousnea eaoes. York Sun. -New A St Louis pbysioian recalls the case of a young man. who had been dumb for fiir. an Vint whn while out hrmtinsr one day, began, in the excitement of the ' i . a i j M l 1 phase, fQ yen at ine top jug iong. Afterward "he was. able t with perfect articulation. vsrhan Jnlina Cssar fell, as he was landing pn the African coast, he is re? ported to have said, to banish the fears of his soldiers, who. accepted; the occur rence as one of ill omen,' 'Land of Africa, I take possession of theeP ' . OATS AND WHEAT. Arguments in Favor of Deep . Prepara tion of the Soil for These Crops. The idea is current with the average farmer that the roots of oats and wheat aro superficial, and that it is useless to break the ground deeper than is neces sary to plow in the seeds and fertilizers, if any of the latter are applied. This is an erroneous conclusion, as we will en deavor to show, writes a Texas farmer to The Southern Cultivator. He con tinues: The quantity of roots attached to a plant are far greater than can be observed by merely lifting them from the soil. Shubert made an experiment as follows: An excavation was made in the field to the depth of six feet, and a stream of water was directed against the vertical wall of soil until it was washed away, so that the roots of plants growing in it were laid bare. The roots thus exposed in a field of oats presented the appearance of a mat or felt of white fibers to a depth of four feet below the surface of the ground. The roots of winter wheat he observed as deep as seven feet, in a light subsoil, forty-seven days after sowing. The quantity of roots in per cent, of the entire plant in the dry state was found to be as follows: Winter wheat examined last of April.40 perct. Winter wheat examined last of May.. 23 perct. Winter rye examined last of April. . . .31 per ct. The quality of the soil influenced the aggregate yield of roots. In a rich por ous garden soil, which is usually deeply broken up, often uniformly spaded and well supplied with vegetable matter, a barley plant produced 128 feet of roots; in a heavier compact subsoil a similar plant yielded only eighty feet of roots. It is evident, therefore, how necessary it is that the plant should have an abun dance of room in which to spread out and extend its roots. Incited by a knowledge of these principles, early in December, 1890, 1 prepared my soil for seeding oats by breaking up as deeply as large heavy mules could pull diamond pointed scooter plows 14 inches long and about 3J wide, having previously spread broadcast twenty bushels of green cotton seed and 100 pounds of acid phosphate lime per acre. Two bushels of oats per acre were plowed under with a turning plow, commencing Dec. 17. The surface was then dragged over with a heavy brush. There was a uniformly good stand, and the oats grew without interruption front the start to full maturity. The long dry spell in April and May did not retard its growth, and it attained to a height of from four to five feet, matured full heavy grains with heads sixteen inches long. I did not thrash them out, as I was short of long forage, and fed them after cut ting up the entire plant with an oats cut ter. Good judges estimated the yield lo be forty bushels per acre." This was not phenomenal, but remarkable when com pared with the average product of tho neighborhood, which did not exceed twelve bushels per acre. One of my neigh bors, with more than double the quantity of cotton seed per acre, one-third more of oat seed, and sowed six weeks earlier, made at least one-third less than mine, when the soil was not broken up previ ously to the sowing of seed. One characteristic of my oats was the uniform and uninterrupted growth of the plant during the long dry spell of April and May, when the oats of the country in general were atroplued and -dwarfed, with almost a failure in the . ultiziate production. I will remark j that mj' land is characterized by a sn- j yerficial sandy loam three or four inches ; deep, supported by a rich tenacious clay suDsnarnm rrom six to eigui leet uuck, tne wuoio resting npoi a oea oi lime stone. In sandy soils, jwith no clay within five or ten feet from the surface, it is hardly necessary to remark that subsoiling would be detrimental rather than beneficial, as 1 have satisfactorily proved. Pruning in Winter. Trees- of hardy kinds may be safely pruned in winter if but a moderate amount is to be cut away. Heavy prun ing renders a tree tender and more liable to injury or check in growth if followed by intense cold, but it rarely Happens that such severe pruning is required. If the operator always has a distinct and definite object in view, he need not cut away a single shoot unless needed. A bearing tree may have too thick: a bead and want a slight, thinning, or a small crooked branch may be inthe way, re quiring only clipping with a pocket knife. There is a special advantage m doing the work now all the branches and shape of the head may be easily seen t1i1a Ion voa ora CTX When the owner of an orchard has to give the business to a hired hand, he mar avoid i all danger of having the work wrongly done by marking with a piece of chalk the place where he wants the pocJret knife or light saw to do the cutting. Very little cutting need thus be made and no mutilation. A modification or improvement may be made at any time in winter if the weather happens to be too cold or hands scarce for -doing the labor till spring. Take i small brush or pencil, with white paint, pass through the orchard, and wherever a branch is to be pruned mark with the brush a white line where the cut is to be made. Direct the operator to cut nowhere but on this line. The chalk would be washed off by rain; the streak of white paint' will remain for months. The piece of chalk may be at tached to the end of a rod or pole and be used to reach any part of the tree; and, if desired, the owner may pass tnrougu nis orcnaru on uorseoau mi i i .t i i i j rapidly mark as many trees in an hour as the operator will prune Country Gentleman. in a day. A heavy fall of snow may break the limbs of evergreens and other trees. It may be primitive, but there is no better way of dislodging the snow than striking the branches with a pole.

What was the cow do ing while the snake was. milking her, and how did the snake reach the cow's udder? Did it stand upon its tail? A feeding experiment at the Maine r agricultural station shows that it costs only eleven dollars a year more to feed a 1.200 pound Holstein cow than to feed a 000 pound Jersey; but this by no means determines the relative value of the two animals. Will the Holstein's carcass dressed for beef sell for eleven dollars more than the Jersey's? And during the year which cow's milk and butter was worth most?
