A BLACKING MONOPOLY.
THE PADRONE SYSTEM HAS IN

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.

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

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.

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
