There is reason to believe that before very long the power of imposing market fees on farmers‘ produce will be abolished. In an agricultar®# country like this, where the farmers control fiye out of every six votes polled, it will be very strange, now that they are beginning to realize their own strength, if they do not compel the Governâ€" ment to pass an Act doing away with market fees. (A step has ~alveady been taken in this direction by. â€" the Dominion Grange,â€" Legislatare to abolish these fees. We alsol wbserce that one of the Members of ~the House has introduced a Bill having the same object in view. . Many places have voluntarily abolishes these fees already, and the feeling in favor of free markets is fast spreading, not only among the farme: but among the residents of towns and cities. The people of these places are beâ€" ginning to find ont, and that to their Sorâ€" row, that the fewer restrictions they place on farmers who favor them with their trade the better it will be for themseives. â€" The farmers of the present day are not by . any means so dependent on their local merchant and tradesmen as they were‘a fow years Aboliticn of Market Fees. Warktxaâ€"stroks.â€"A walkingâ€"stick has always been considered a useful aud graceâ€" jul present, likely to be of pleasant service, and long possessed. Some are inclined to thiuk that the pilgrim‘s staff, the bishop‘s eromer, the drumâ€"major‘s gorgeous mace, aund the usher‘s wand, lmive a common oriâ€" gin with the walkingâ€"stick : ut least we know that change o&habit, and that most unfzecountable change of f{:shion, has in our time worked some curious results, the various materials called into use are alone sufficient to excits surprise. Walkingâ€" stick@ hiftve been mado of tortofseshell, the beackbone or vertebre of the shark, the tuék of the rhinoceros, and woods of every eonceivable varicty, and lately one was oxâ€" hibited made entirely of champagne eorks, with a stout wire passed through them. The linudles have many more sources to boast, as there are mamy materials not large euough to make whols sticks, such for instance as the teeth of the giraffe, The walrus, the elepbant, and, in fact, most hmhpthnddlmmml-ltorm purpose. â€" It is a remarka.ble fact that woâ€" meo sre seldom employed at stick making, und tholy- bfivflo. there hhc:‘nne_h know skilb tariâ€" ous w»t'::-u that m employâ€" ous processes that men are chiefly employâ€"=|~ ‘There is perhaps n ed ; it is also singular that stsam power is | as Catarrh or cold not in use to any large extent ; machinery | both in winter .and the Farmers‘ Parliament,â€"for large quanti. | pain in the limbs ke Near CWester, N. Y., is a morass which some years since was & miserable awamp, but which is now being gradually reclaimâ€" ed under a system of drainage. . , T wenty years ago, so the New York Times asserts,; a farmer conceired the notion of draining a portion and pmaking it tillable soil. He took sixty acres and ditebed it, and when it was founl that the draining left as & soil the finest of black muck, the price advancâ€" ed from $4 to $19â€"per acre. . The great }vdle of the land is owing to its adaptabilâ€" ity to onions. The price continued to rise until as high as $1000 per acre has been paid for the reclainied lands. _A erop of 800 bsh. to the acre is not nnecmmon,and the Greyeourt onion mendows aroâ€" celel rated throughout the country. About 300 aeres are uwnder cultivation this year, and the suceess ef the onion business in the meadâ€" | ‘ows basled to the reclaiming of similar: lands in other parts of the country, ‘ntil it is believed that the onion erop of Orange econnty will amount to 500,000 bushels this year.. The averace price received by onion raigors is $1 per buskel. ‘The averaga yield is about 300 bushels per acre. _ The crop is almost invariably sold for cash as~ sooan as it is ready for market, and as it matures early in the season the farmer is allowed abundant time to keep hisland in condition necessary to its productiveness. This great success in draining wet lands ought to lead ‘to more efforts tbrouglxont‘ the country to reclaim rich lands now soakâ€" ing through the ignorance and neglect of rmers. â€" Every little while a body of men disgusted with the small returns from Eastern farming, will migrate West/wheore land is cheap, We are inclined to think that $1 per acre is cheap enough, especilly when lying near a market, and a very little added expense, mostly at the comâ€" mand of a man who can dig ditches, will; when jadiciously applied, raise the value of the land seven hundredper cént. ~And we would like here to make a practical sagâ€" gestion to any man who finds difficalty in getting the water to run off from a hillâ€" bounded swamp. â€" It is a fact, occasionally utilized by plumbers, that if a pipe be driven into a gravel soil, the point perhaps perforated with boles to keep out the stones, water can be poured into the pipe at pleasâ€" ure, and it will aKrun off. This makes a vory fine drain for waste water. The same idea can be ‘utilized in certain swamps. Take a clay swamp in a sunken valle} with no nntnfivmr-shd, and dig & cistern, say six féet in diameter and (two or three feet deep. In the bottom of this sink several tubes, using ordinary 14 inch gns pipe. â€" Under‘ths elay there is usually sand or gravel, and the water from the gisterns will flow through these pipes into the earth. A Maine farmer, some years since, built seceral cisterns in a swamp as described, and by digging drains to them in various directions suceeeded in leading all the standing water into the earth, and converting a Swampâ€"hole into a productive farm.
