Scattering Note « by Rev B Editor Plaindkalkh:--The weekly visi s ot yeur paper upou my table bring me. in mind, face to face with my old friends and neighbors, and the "Personal Mention'1 column keeps me posted as to who comes and goes; who marries, or gets sick, or dies; of faro ily reunlontr^pf parties, sociables, meetings, markets, monstrosities, and multifarious other things, too numer­ ous to mention here, yet glad I am to read them, as well a? my wife. Lite In the west is very diflerent from what it Is in the east, and each has i s pref­ erences scCording to the likes and dis­ likes of each Individual ta6te. For myself I find such a diversity of life In each section tbatfl enjoy both. When here It seems the best; when west there seems nothing like it. 8herburne Is a very neat, compact little village of a thousand Inhabitants on the Blnghampton and Utlca divis­ ion of the Delaware, Lackawanna A Western R. R.. which runs very near to the eld defunct Chenango Canal. There Is a fair, steady, quiet busloess done here, and a large amount of wealth; but that Is in very close and conservative hands, who. If they do anything in a public way, want all the money there will ever be in It. or they seemingly won't do anything about It. There are six churches and good con­ gregations in each. In wonderful con-* trast in a business way, is the push-a­ head village of Oneonta. about thirty miles from here, where the wealthy men court the coming of all manner of kinds of business and manufactories, giving bonuses and taking stock in the various enterprises. They sell factory sites very cheap, or even give them, and thus enhance the value of rentals and building property, and by this live and let live policy, they double their money two or three times over those where a narrow and conservative method is pursued, hence Oneonta Is! five times larger tbsn Sherburne, while comparatively only a few years since this was the larger--sol am told.' We have had very little cold weath­ er here as yet, although the thermom­ eter got down to 18 degrees belowi once, and on one or two other occa­ sions, got below zero. We bad msg- nlflcent sleighing here from a "few days before Christmas till two days afterwards, giving a wonderful Christ* mas trade and the finest of Christmss season. But on New Years* dsv, Sun­ day, there was a strong south wind, preceded by snow on Saturday, and then caave rtftn-ta' the -moralog jfgf hours, which made traveling over the hills either horrible or utterly Impos­ sible. This is. par me/2gsee, Id tM meo's belt of country, and Butter and cheese are the great staples of the farmer. Grain raising is of minor Im­ portance. compared with bay and pas­ turage. 1 do not think there is one- eighth the grain raised here that Is required.for feeding purposes, and the milling business is of little account. Farmers make their calculations on buying many tons of mill studs, and some buy car-loads. Milk will aver­ age nearly a dollar and thirty cents per hundred this season for factory purposes. There are a few full-stock cheese factories in thT*. section; but the majority make about/two to three! pounds of butter per hundred pounds; of milk, then make the milk Into "skim cheese." The farmers make about forty-six to fifty-five dollars per cow In the year, besides the whey they feed to pig* and calves. Hops are quite a crop in seme parts of this sec­ tion, although not very heavy jnst at this point. The crop was excellent In quality and quantity this season, but* the price ran down very rapidly from qje price first paid. The fact is that years ago when they brought a dollar a pound, brswers discovered something as a substitute and far cheaper, and iu they continue to use it only buying just heps enough "to take the cuss^off," while the non-mentiona : ble stuft they use Instead thereof, they still fentinue to adulterate with in plenty; which may not be very com­ forting to the stomachs of those who guzzle down their lager^beer, thinking '•It is more petter as goet." I am within a few miks of the Hox Wf A Langworthy Holsteln-Frlesian stock farms, and some others, and the whole country round and about Is largely sprinkled with from full bloods to grades, and fouodlng their judg­ ments upon past experiences, many farmers are increasing their stock of Hqlsteln cows for dairy purposes. The combination of coal producers has tnade that commodity high in: price, for this section, being now $6 35 per ton in the yard, for Chestnut and; Range. For the Information of your farmer readers, I quote the prices of feed here: First grade tame hay (Tlmo- thy). $8 per ten, delivered; Western Oats, 45 eents; New York eats, scarce­ ly worth buying, weighing only from nineteen to twenty-six pounds to the measured bushel; corn meal, 91,40; middlings, 91.36; aborts 91.20, pr>r hun­ dred.
