owltiu to inci'easo of population lieio and a
rise in freight, tho competition in pneo must
como to an end, nud that thciiccfoith I'nglish

'In connection with theso statement, as
enabling ono tho better to Judge of their
truth, it is interesting to turn to tho last pub
lished leports (DectliiW, 18S0) of tho United
States Consul at jlristnl, Kngland. Kxcur
sious in ulo Into several of thu Knglisb shires
have gicn this gentleman faorablo oppor
tuuitlvit of studying tho iUotion of ngneul
turo in Knglaml, and of learning tho opinions
of tho host farmers on tho subject. Tho sum
ming up is altogether discouraging. At tho
present moment tho condition of the tenant
tanners is moU unsatisfactory and is likely to
bo still worse. In tho twelvo mouths ending
October last no fewer thin 3.210 bills ol salu
for an aggregate sum of 3-,837,80O wero given
by tho agriculturists of tho United Kingdom,
and the smallmss of most of tho sums bor
rowed indioitcJi tho extremity to wlilcMmauy
of them havo been driven. No fewer than 314
bills of silo wero given for sunn under one
hundred doll irs, and SOI .for sums between
one hundred nud two hundred a d fifty d I

of salo were (riven, and ft 17 submitted to tho
saino con litious for Ioaim of from live huud
rod to ono tlioimn 1 dollars. And yot a hope
Is entertained that a better time is In store
lor tho IvnglMi finneis, presumably fronitlio
expectation of bettcrcroptaiitl tho ivbabilitv
that in ttie near future amendments will be
made by legislation, in tho tcnuro of land,
which will mako tho conditions coster. liut
all this will not dispel the cloud in the West,
viz, i the agricultural compotition of the Unit
ed States, and though tho Consul speaks very
feelingly of tho situation, ho duly reeounUcs
the fact that no sentiment will retard the in
croaso of American cereal production, ruining
tills farther the English agriculturists and
driving them to this country to contribute
stilt moro to our enormous harvests. A sups

United States Company, which was the lirst
In the field, and has lighted the principal
banking houses and rallroid offices, several of
tho hotels and theatres, and the Now lnrk

comes the Brush Company, which lights a
numlier of the lager-beer gardens, the Sound
steamers and the Couey Island hotels, and
many of tho Western hotels. It has a moder

French Thrift.
Nearly every one Id Franco saves money,
and, as a consequence of this, nearly every
one In France has an inenmo apart from tho
Inconio which ho makes from his labor. In
Kngland men lay by for old ago. Thoy look
forward to a timo when their ability to do
what thoy wish will bo determined by their
previous economics. The Frenchman seems
to stand in no need of any such stimulus. If
his maintenance in old ago wero assured tlirco
times over, ho would still go on saving. A
correspondent mentions an instance of this
habit which is almost beyond belief, or rather
wouU bo so if it wero anything moro than
an unusually striking example of a universal
tendency.
Ho knows, ho says, a head servant In a
priato house in l'uris who has saved enough
to bring him in 700 a year. As tho period
of saving was limited to twenty-five years,
this implies an annual laying by of
something liko 200 at fivo per centum,
compound interest, which for an honest
servant In privato houso seems impossible.
c aro told, howovcr, that in order to achievo
his savings, whatever thoy were, he denied
himself everything that ho would havo had to
pay for out of his own pocket. Witli tho
tastes thus formed he might havo long ago
left service and lived on liis'incomo. Iutsead
of this ho has rcmiincd in service In order to
go on saving. If ho had lived on his incomo
there would htvo been nothing out of which
to lay by. The crcat pleasure of his lifo
would thus havo disappeared. Instead of
looking with continually' growing enjoyment
on his continuity growing store, ho would havo
seen his store remain tho same and have had
only tho satisfaction of living on tho inconio
of it. To a man with whom thrift has becomo
a second nature this would tie pain rathcrthan
enjoyment. Ho would havo been thinking
as ho spent each penny that If ho had only re
mained in service thcro would havo been no
need to spend anything.
Mr. Hamcrton has mentioned cases In which
Frenchmen possessed of fair incomes from ac
cumulated capital havo gone on doing with
perfect contentment work which was at ouco
irksomo and ill-paid, liccauso tho money thus
gained was so much noro to be laid by. Tho
process In Franco is a never-ending ono. The
more a Frenchman saves tho moro ho feels
that ho may save. Barents savo for their
children, and children savo for themselves till
thoy becomo parents iu their turn. "Kvcry
child's luturo Is provided for nt his cradlo,"
f.r "tho baby has hardly seen tho daylight
before tho parents aro already saving for him."
Hut tho fact that his future is provided for
does not make tho child indifferent to his own
future. Ha provides for himself as though
ho had no parents to spare him tho trouble.
Draining Land.
I'ralrlo fanner.
A young fanner desires information in re
gard to tho advantages of underdruining land.
Tho subject has been thoroughly discussed iu
tho columns of tho Prairie Farmer, hitherto,
but it is one that may bo taken up often, with
profit to the young farmers and now subscrl
Iran, as well as bo of scrvico to older readers
in keeping before them a feature iu farm econ
omy by far too much neglected. It is ono of
those topics that is never unseasonable, but
more timely in tho Spring and Fall when
standing water Indicates tho points or places
most in need nf drainage, and tho natural Fall
also Is carrying It away.
The lands that require tho ameliorating in
fluence of draining more than othcis are the
heavy, tenacious clays, for without it they
are seldom tilled with profit. Kvery farmer
of experience knows how difficult to work
such lands are. They aro late In getting Into
condition for Spring crops, and consequently
late planting is inevitable) and they are like
wise late in maturing the crops. Theso draw
backs tell against the success of the owner,
and lie is seldom repaid for his toil until such
ad verso conditions are mitigated or removed
by drainage; and when this has bceu done
these very lands become exceedingly valuable,
yielding heavier crops, especially of wheat,
than are usually obtained ou lighter soils.
As a certain amount of moisture Is essential
to successful vegetable growth, so an excess
of It is highly detrimental. When water cai.
not percolate through the earth, but remains
either on the surface or in the soil, it becomes
stagnant and unfit to preform its natural use
ful purpose. The roots of plants will not
penetrate into tho cold and obdurato subsoil,
but are forced to sssimilato what littlo food
thoy can fiud near the surface, A light, un
profitable crop Is the inevitable result; and it
is only in seasons which supply favorable con
ditionsas an early and comparatively dry
Spring, succeeded by an equally favorable
Summer that any reliance can be placed on
ich lands in the return they yield for the
labor bestow ed ou them.
Iu regard to tho cost of draiuiug, it is Im
possible to indicate even an approximate sum
that will apply to all cases. The expense
varies with varying circumstances, as will
readily be understood from a little reflection.
Thu nature of tho ground, the distance apart,
and the depth to be cut, to say nothing of
other things that must lie taken into consider
ation, must determine the expense. The sub
ject of draining is one which tho formers
throughout the older sections of the oouutry
are bocomim; more interested in every year.
When well done, If the land is good, draining
pays a large percentage on its cost.
North Pacific Railroad Lands.
We have received printed circulars from D,
C, Lew is, special Laud Agent of the N. P,
R. K. Co., reciting that they have resumed the
sale of agricultural lands to actual settlers,
upon the old terms, at 82.00 per acre, cash,
or 81.00 per acre on time, I. e. one fourth cash
at timo of purchase, the balance in four equal
yearly payments, 7 per cent, interest. Upon
these terms about 5,000,000 acres, embraced
in the Pend d' Oreilly division, in Eastern
Washington, are offered for tale. No settler
can purchase over 1C0 acres, and no deed will
be executed until the settler makes proof of
having 20 acres tcder cultivation. Dayton

INDUCEMENTS TO INDUSTRIES,
Rntditreet's.
The practice of oflering premiums for the
location of manufacturing establishments in
towns which are anxious to stimulate! their
growth has been less general since 1873 than
It was before that year; it is now, howoter,
beginning to be heard of as tho general pros
perity of tho country becomes more unniis
tikcabloand confidence in tho future more
settled. Tho methods aro various, consisting
sometimes, in offering lands for tho sito of
works free of expenso; sometimes of larj,o
stock subscriptions) sometimes of a public en
actment making such establishments frco of
taxation for a certain time, and sometimes of
a combination of nlj theso inducements.
This tendency has been mado tho object of
criticism in some quarters, and It is true that
something Is to ba said against as well as for
tho policy. Tho policy In aiding tho growth
of mauufacturcs is abstractly sound; but tho
practical c fleet on special inducements for their
location of certain points may not always be
beneficial. Tho industries thus established
may profess to bo exotics, anil to no
incapable of enjoying tho hearty Indigen
ous growth which is essential to tho per
manenco of all industries. It is a signifi
cant fact that fully ono-third of tho blast fur
naces of tho United States are located at
places whero they cannot competo with those
moro favorably located, and therefore perma
nently out ot blast, except at tho intervals
when prices riso to a level which affords Inor
dinate profits to thoso situated at the natun 1
productive points. When a bonus for tho lo
cation of manufactures at a certain point is
offered, tho decision Is not always governed
by that consideration, which should always lie
supreme, to-witi whether tho location Is ono
which holds out tho best advantages for carry
ing ou tho business successfully. Tho induce
ments for a stock subscription may bn suffered
to cover up tho lack of good supplies of raw
material or tho nbtenco of proper transporta
tion, and au establishment may bo doomed to
a languishing and fitful stmggleagainst natur
al obstacles, which would luvo been prosper
ous elsewhoro,whlla somo other industry might
havo dono better In its place.
Tho policy of putting this premium on tho
location of manufactories, by an exemption
from taxation for a period of years, Is also
open to criticism, for tho reason that muni,
jipal and legislative bodies aro especially
prono to tho errors Indicated above. Then,
too, there is au element of injustice in ex
empting certain interests In any community
from tho burden of taxation which other in
terests must boar. Such exemptions, where
it is possihlo to legally mako them, as is tho
case in somo States, would frequently result
in favoring industries which do not naturally
Iwlong to tho plaoo where they aro located,
and in laying additional burdens upon the
Interests which aro a natural outgrowth of
the greatest service iu building it up.
Wo do not intend to mako a wholesale con
demnation of tho practice of holding out
special inducements to tho location of manu
facturing industries. There is as much to be
said In its favor as against It, and if wo no not
enter into a recapitulation of its good results,
it is only because thoy are well known and
evident. Instances are frequent where in
dustries started by such means havo enjoyed
the highest prosperity. Hut it worth while
to consider tho arguments against such a
practice, iu order to beware of the errors to
which it is likely to give riso, and to see that
the pushing enterprise of ambitious young
communities docs not locate a cotton mill
whero an iron mill should be, or attempt to
nourish both industries in a locality only
suited in flouring mills or lumber. The ten
dency to distinctions in taxation, too, should
bo avoided at productive of far moro mischief
than possible benefit. A wise and liberal
policy of taxation may indeed exempt all
classes of activo business operations, whether
manufacturing or distributive, from direct
taxation; but a policy which attempt one in
dustry and burdens another, is essentially
vicious.
And, after all, it may well bo said to those
aspiring communities who aro anxious to in
fuse additional life into their organism, that
tho beat way tu secure a healthy growth, is
to make their locations such at will naturally
attract business and population to them. If
thoy aro situated among deposits of mineral
and fuel, let them bo developed in such a
manner as to force the manufactures growing
out of them to come to them. If they are
situated where they can gain the trade of a
district, let them improve their means of
communication. A town that will so develop
its surroundings as to mako itself a place
where iron can be manufactured cheaply, or
goods distributed over the surrounding coun
try to the best advantage, is far surer of
growth than one which simply oilers a bonus
to those interests. Sometimes the bonus
may bo of use iu establishing tho existeuce of
the natural advantages. As a general rule,
however, towns, like individuals, wilt secure
the most healthy and permanent prosperity
by bending their energies in tho direction
their surroundings and their previous circum
stances havo indicated as their normal field
of effort. N

One of the most convenient ai tides to bo
used in a sick room is a saud bag. (Jet some
fine sand, dry it thoroughly in a kettle on the
stove, make a bag about eight inches square
of flannel, fill it with the dry sand, sew the
opening carefully together, and cover the bag
with cottou or liueu cloth. This will prevent
the sand from sifting out, and will also enable
you to beat the bag quickly by placing it in
the oven on tho top of the stove. After once
using this you will never again attempt to
warm the feet or hands of a sick person with
a bottle of hot water or a brick. Tim
sand holds the heat a long time: and the bag
can bo tucked up to the back without hurting
the invalid. It is a good plan to make two or
three of the bags and keep them ready for
use.
