Cans and Gunning Etc .
The Reynolds Brothers of Port
Deposit report their tin i
can manufacture a most grati (
fying sucee.-s this season ; no i
complaint of a single can proving i
fault}' having yet reached them, of the '
tens of thou-wnd they have turned out
and are daily turning out from their
factory. And we caLnot comprehend
how it were possible that any faulty
cans could escape after being put
through their nevfr process of testing
under hot water by compressed air
which subjects every c an to a pressure
or 30 pounds to the square inch. If
there is the smallest aperture or a
flaw stopped temporarily with rosin
the hot water softens it. and the air
bursts out showing the defective spot.,
although so minute perhaps that the
naked eye could not discover it
La-t season they tested by the process
in common use by having an inspect
or to examine carefully every can.
and the result proved very unsatis
factory. A number of the cans prov
ing faulty after having been fillel
with goods. Under the present hot
water and air pressure test if a can
is not strongly soldered it will burst.
This is an important manufactory
and the enterprising proprietors
should receive a most cordial support
from our canners. If we can produce
the best vegetables in the country, ,
manufacture the cans and process
the goods fitting them for the table, ;
and ali accomplished cm the spot, it
may be said, where raised, this three
fold operation will redound to the
wealth of the county and add to the ,
prosperity of the whole people. Ev
ery stage in the business is aproduc ,
live industry, there being no middle
men employed ; and this is the tru ■
road to wealth which consists in
universal prosperity, or work for ail '
at good wages. If twenty five per
cent of the solid grain growing indust
ry of tiie country were devoted to the
production of fruits, vegetables and
grasses, and canneries and evaporat
ors in every neighborhood, the agri
cultural wealth of the country would 1
be more than doubled. TUlien, oh when
will our farmere study their business
and venture to improve on it so as to 1
double their profit, lighten their mus- :
cuiar toil and increase their mental \
activity?
TJio Largest Cabbage Grower In the
World.
W. M. Johnson & Co of Chicago
use upward of 5000 acres of land for
growing cabbages. Last year they <
manufactured 19,000 barrels of Sour- ■
krout besides shipping 457 car loads i
of cabbages to Eastern Markets. i
Such statements should cause cult- i
ivators of the soil to pause and think.
With 2.0i ! 0,000 lonsumers lying with- <
in a radius of 50 miles, and the best <
of land for such products, why cannot .
they help to supply this large market, i
with a portion of this heavy, bulky <
produce, that is shipped all the way i
from Chicago, and finds a renumera 1 1
ive market for it, right on the borders ]
of our own fields that are kept rais- <
ing meagre crops of grain at starva. (
tion prices ? The only answer possi- I
ble is that old fogyisrn has bound our
farming class so firmly in his heavy
chains that they are helpless to make '
the slightest yari.atiou from methods 4
acquired in boyhood—scarce a par
ticle adyance except so much as new
machinery and implements compel- *

lv will be subject to the penalty of
perjury. The above questions have

A good many Marylanders have
been in the habit of going to Pa., to
get married, but it will not be so con
venient in future, and the trade will
doubtless decline.
; The Great Yacht Kaos.
Two matches were sailed between
the American yacht Puritian and the
English yacht Gencsta, in New York
bay for the prize silver cup, the Puri
tan winning in both races. The first
race was on Monday last, with a light
wind,the Puritan beating the Genesta
16 minutes and 19 seconds. The sec
ond race was sailed on Wednesday
with a stiff wind and rough sea, the
American yacht crossing the line only
one minute and thirty-eight seconds
ahead of the English cutter, so little
that the race might be called a tie,
but it keeps the prize cup in America.
