I'KAOHES $12 A DOZEN.
That's the Price Now Paid in
New York for Early Eruii.
Tliucm who enjoy eating i touches will
lie pleased to know thai in a few weeks
they will be able to purchase tiiem at
$1.25each, or $12a dozen. Those who
are willing to satisfy a longing for fresh
fruits with somethiugife>^(>\|)cusive than
. hothouse peaches will also l>e pleased to
learn tluit Ukj strawberry season is almost
at lianri, ami that even now many strawberries
are coining to market from Florida
and may lie purchased at prices rangi
ingfrom20 to 50 cents a uecurding
to quality.
The usual retail price fur good (pialily
Florida terries yesterday was about uo or
40 cents a quart. A strange fact about
strawberries is that while Florida berries
were being sold at $1.-5 a '"cup"- a cup
is a third of a quart. There were sold in
* this city yesterday about ten quarts of
hothouse berries at this price of a
qvart, wholesale.
Few fruits can Us as generally found
in the market as strawberries. During
about nine months of tlie year it is possible
to buy them from some source.
After the summer trade has closed the
berries do not appear until about the midof
December, when those grown in hothouses
first reach the market. Almost
any price is jKiid for these?ft) a quart
not being considered uncommon.
The earliest source of out-door grown
berries is California, but very few come
to New York,and tllose that do ureal
most as high in price as the hothouse
berries. Jiy the early part of February
Florida begins to send strawl jerries to
this market. These lirst Florida Ijerries
sell for SI a quart, and from that time
the price gets granually lower. The
Florida season is alxuit at ils best now.
Ilia very few weeks the lirst of the
Charleston crop w ill reach the market,
and from that |>oiut the centre of the
shipping district moves steadily up the
N coast. Norfolk is a great shipping jioiiit
fur strawberries during April, and soon
after that time New Jersey begins to
semi its carloads of ripe red berries.
According to one commission dealer
in this fruit, the U*st strawberries that
New Yorkers get oome from right down
on 5>tnten .Island, The 1 jerry season is
prolonged into July by shipments from
what is called in the trade t?.e up-river"'
district, and finally, by drawing on Central
New York, the last coining from
Oswego about the middle of July. After
those there arc a few scattering lioxes
and some grown w itli special rare, so thai
the season is extendeda week or two into
August. Then the strawberry retires
from public view until DeeemU-r.
i iit.* present iiaiic i> inmost finiirn
with Florida. When this industry was
tirst coniineneed, tin* I lorries were shijilted
in refrigerator cars, hut lliis method
:li?l not prove satisfactory, and the perishable
freight is now shipped in separate
refrigerators, each of which will hold twe
lliiity-two box elides, lietween and on
top of I la- elides ice is packed, and eaeli
refrigerator with its two elides is taken
to the eoiinnission dealer to whom the
U?t ries are consigned. These refrigerators
aie all owned by the Manufacturing
and Tiaiis|K>rtation Refrigerator Company
of Stark. I'la., and all the New
York dealers in Florida I terries own slock
in this com|>any. as any stockholders an
allowed to use the refrigerators.
These Florida straw berrio, it is said,
are not generally grown on large plantations.
but are raised in almost all ease?
on farms of a few acres. A large proportion
of the shi|>|ters are negroes, win
grow the fnitl on a half acre or so. Tin
chief shipping points in Florida for tin
lierries are lnde|>eiideiice, Lakeland,
I'lanf City, Calloway, and Stark.
A peculiar feat lire of t he st raw Item al
this time of year, according to one retail
dealer, is thai a eole snap does not, as ;i

Price* ?i >:i a? you lessen the

If this i; t'.i i:ue principle, then the
free eoitia.vi of silver would increase
juices, v. i'-'i: ^pvh fit... coiie^t-, hicrutaed
the amount of money. n?.t otherwise.
Supi>oso the government was retiring
the greenbacks while it was coining
silver, could prices go *'?* if the amount
of (taper money called in was than
the amount of silver put out?
Certainly not. In such a ease free coinage
of silver would not mean more money;
then fore, prices would sink in spite of
free coinage.
Did we not have an illustration of this
in the seventies?.
While the law had partially demonetized
silver and had dropped the standard
silver dollar front our list of cuius, yet it
is litlerally true that the mints were running
full tilt coining standard dollars l?v
tin; million. Ami while nndbr the law
there dollars weiv not legal lender for
more llian live dollars in am one payment
yet we. all mnciuber that in practice,
silver eireidaled freely, for very few knew
that it hail been partially demonetized.
Jtut prices steadily wont down. Why?
lleeause the volnuie of currency grew
Constantly less. For every silver dollar
issued by the government, llnveoi lour
paper dollars were ealleil in and burnt up.
> >f
However, them is a stiil better way to
illustrate tlie fact that free silver, by
itself, does not neeessurily raise prices.
In 1 STjS, the illaud-Allison act was
passeil; silver money was fully restored
to its legal tender powers, and the. mints
authorized to coin some $48,00i).U00 of it
per annum.
Now if the demonetization of silve; in
1871 was the sole cause of prices going
dow n, w hy was it that prices <1 id not rise
again to the 1870, 1871 and 1872 mark,
after the renionetizalion of silver?
X ? ?
The act.-, of I87.'t and 1871 were vilIniiwiiK
in flu* iA I Tlmv WMi'n
stealthy steps in 11 ni general scheme of
construction. Hut, jus a matter of fact
il was tin* tremendous destruction of
|ki|h'I" money wliieh mainly brought
prices down.
Kxtrcme I n e-sil\el ites say that the acts
of l>7d and 1*71 were the sole cause of
decline in values. Then why did not
values rise again to their old |K)sition
when Use acts ??i' 1*7*5 and l*7t were rcjiealedy
Thclrulh of the matter is that the
government had hnrul up about
OUl) of our pajH-r money, ami prices fell
because the amount of currency grew
smaller, although the amount of silver
, money grew larger
During the entire (HTiod in which
values were falling the Tailed states
mints had put iutoeirculalion nioresilver
money than we had ever Known lieforc.
Then w h> did not prices fall?
, Moralise, while .S"?U0,0UU,U00 in silver
dollars were coined and circulated, ?2.of
paper dollars were called
id and ihinil.
Whenever lav silver means more
money, up goes prieest but nut otherwise.

Tin* prize aoro of cotton made by me
is a jwirt of a field of eight acres, and has
heretofore produced two and oue-lialf
hall's to the acre, and the eight acres one
year made a yield of three I wiles of cotton
i>er acre. It is upland; the original

sixty years ago; s al, a m^Hjwdy^md 1
cluy sub-soil; was in corn i> ,18'Jd and
out-? in 1SP4. I prepared W'.i /{J? deep, ,
early in January with a two li-y/ i)ixie '
plow. First of April I cross pfciwed with
lioy dixie plow; ojiened furrows across
the acre about two feet apart and eight
inches deep, and in those furrows across
the acre about two l'ecl aiwirt and eight
inches deep, and in lho.se furiws I distributed
1 ,800 jKiunds of compost; listed
on this coin|KKst with a long steel scooter;
then broke it deep, running diagonally
across those lists. Run off To\\> four
feet a i>art, opening wide furrows about
eight inches deep, and put 800 poqtidsof
compost in these rows or furrows. Run
a long scooter in those furrows 'as deep
as it could be plowed, mixing the coinl?ost
with the soil; licdded on those furrows
with a !??> dixie plow^ small mould
board, and planted the acre n> ??*^9th
of April.
When the cotton lirsl came up, the
plant did not look as strong and healthy
as I thought it should, owing to the eool
weather, but \\ hen the weather ljccauie
wanner the eotlon grew olT rapidly.
It was plowed four times, using a
short scooter and heel scrape twenty-two
inches long. The plowing* were intervals
of aliout fifteen days. Was hoesl
twice, chopping to a stand two to two
and a half feet aiuut, making stand four
feet rows and two,or two aiul u half in
the drill, and plant in a place or hill,
(iood seasons prevailed from the .'Kith

cotton did not seem to sutler very materially
during the drouth. From August
4th too much ruin tor cotton until !Septcmltcr
12th, causing the cotton to shed
or throw off some of its squares. From
the 12th of Septeiniter, the kdance of the
seasons were good for cotton, giving time
for maturity of the young fruit,
The comjtost used was made l?y (his
formula: 2,100 intends cotton seed and
1.000 iHtunds acid |ihos)ihate and 100
pounds muriate potash, This nmnipulatted

of this compost a) tout eight inches in

stable manure altout six or eight inches
thick; put thisaway in (tons, In hauling
out to tint Held, had dug square down,
mixing ingredients thoroughly,
The cotton seed used or planted, 1 saved
or Improved by having careful hands
go over the cotton fields and select the
cotton from large ami well developed
Uills, and ltolls ha\ ingllve lock*. Planted
the seed front this selection in a plot
of ground apart from the other cotton
and selected again from this nlol and
planted again the next year and soon for
the years- Now, the seed I have from
these selections are very line and proline.
I halve none for sde this year. I e.\peet

A LESSON OF CONFIDENCE.
In these times of depression and distrust,
it is well to consider the question
how best to restore confidence between
suctions and individuals. An incident
in the history of the great State of Illinois
will .serve to point the moral.
There was a i>eriod in Iter histor> when
her people were bunlened with a small
debt, and it was felt, that not only would
she bo unable to discharge the principal
hut. the interest on it. A convention of
delegates were assembled according to .
call to consider the ways and means of (
repudiating i no ueui. n was generally j
conceded that that was the only course. ,
But Stephen A. Douglas differed with
this view. From a sick 1**1 he sent up
the following resolution:
"Itesolved, That while the Stale of
Illinois may never be able to pay a dollar <
of her debt, so help tue hod, she will
never repudiate a penny (>r it."
Tlie debt was not repudiated. In congress
Mr. Douglas sucoeeil<r.t in getting
the government to become the trustor
and the State of Illinois the trustee for
a grant which resulted in the construction
of the Illinois Central railroad and
laid the foundation feu a great commonwealth.
Thus the iron will of a man on his sick
'**1 was transmitted through a brief resolution
to the sovereignty of a gieat
Stare, inspiring confidence, and infusing
strength.?Exchange.
