I'll K SHAKERS OF IEHANON. MOUNT The xiiow wns still upon tho irtinnd wliuit wa iimilo our long ilt'tcrrtid vwl lo lliu Slmkrrn nt Mount Lebanon. Our old iricnij, Kldor Fruduriek V. Evutm, welcomed ua ul thv door, and iiislulleil un in tho Tixitor'a Iiouho of tho litniily over which ho preside,. For inHpectinir tho airrivulluro of tho socio. ty in all its varied details, the time of our visit whs not tuvoraolo, but enough wan mvn to show that tho reputation of tho Shukors for thrift, diligence, economy, and pruotical sen no in not un deserved. Thu village ut Lebanon is occupied by three liimilicn, as they are called. each one of them constituting a com plete ami liHiepcnclent couiinunity, though tho relations between them are in every ruspoet co-oiierativo. The olllt iul ciipei-visiou of tlie Ministry, as tho chief elders of the Khaker church nro culled, extends through the whole village. J lie three communities al Lebanon are known respectively as tho .North itiiuily, (hot iiurtnlumily and the .South tnmily. The name of the Church fam ily is derived from the lact that tho church building or the central place of worsnip ior tue wnoie village, stand among them, lhe number in each limiily wo did not ascertain, though (hero is no secrecy about it; but the population of tho whole village la some thing liko two hundred persons, in cluding men, women and children. r.acli lumily has nu ofncu and store of its own, where its business affairs are transacted, and there ore, of course, persons in euch who aro in charge of tins part oi tho establishment ; but we believe that .Elder Frederick is quito as frequently consulted uxn niattors ot this sort by the other families, as upon spiritual subjects and questions ot (loctriue or discipline. J ho Miukcr tnrma ut Lebanon are situnted upon the western slope of the mountain, ana tho village is about milo from tho railway station in tho valley below. Tho situation is exceed ingly beautiful, and all its beauties are visible Irom tho home of the Khakera. The soil is clayey and strong, but it lies in tho best exposure toward the sun, is thoroughly drained by its posi tion, and must he earlier ntletf tor ploughing and less exposed to frost than most of the land in tho neighbor hood. J ho orchards hail a vigorous anil healthy look, which showed not only that tliocaro bestowed upon thom was constant and skilful, hut that the land is good lor fruit trees. Farming is curried on, of course, mainly to furn ish supplies for the community, but n very important industry is tho raising of garden seeds for market. Brooms tiro also made for sulo; and, as our readers are already aware, everything produced by tho .Shakers is ol tho best qunlitv, and every representation which they liiako concerning their wares Is to bu relied upon. The Lousesln which they live are largo wooden buildings, tour stories high, plain, spacious, and thoroughly comtortublo. Tho neat ness with which they aro kept cannot bo exceeded. Tho dwelling of tho North fumily is wormed by steam, and ventilated in the most scientific and effective manner according to a svstem invented and applied by Elder Fred crick. The women livo in ono end of the building and the men in the other, Tho cooking for tho community is per formed, of courso, in a singlo kitchen, and throughout the establishment ovorythingisperfect-in ilsway. Abun dance, order, thrilt, und transcendent elottnliiiess prevailevery where. There is nothing tof decoration or for show ; everything is for tiso and comfort, and for tho ensy and economical perform ance of tho work to bo done. The houso lor visitors, which Is, of courso comparatively small, stands in the rear of the community houso, and is ol a similar character in respect of its ac commodations and furniture. The rooms, which nro warmed by wood fires in soupstone stoves, have simple movable rugs upon tho floors, which are of hunt Southern pine. Here, too, tho ventilation is perfect, better in fact than wo have seen in the most luxuri ous city dwellings. Tho work shops, wood sheds, barn, stable,, wash houso, and poultry houso of the family are suitably placed, most ol thom in tho rear of tho dwelling. The barn of tho North fumily is celebrated among ag riftilturists. It is of stone, some 175 feet long, throe stories high, with ono end towurd tho hill sido, so that loaded wagons can lie driven into the thirdstory and the hay or grain pitched downward instead of upward. Tho poultry houso also merits special notice. The wall nn tho southern sido is of glass, and a passageway behind tho nests allows thoetrgs to bo taken out without enter ing tho space occupied by tho hens. Tlieio is also a soparalo department for fowls that are to he fattened. The breed rd lions kept by the family are Light Hruhmas. The cows, fifty or sixty in number, seem to he a mixture of Ayreshiros.l lurhams, and Alderneya. Tho oxen, which were at work hauling wood from tho saw mill to the wood houso, were large and exceedingly fin. We saw no good horses, though just over the mountain, In tho neighboring Shaker village of Hancock, a? met anmo very lively nags driven by mem bers of tho society. Not ft dor or a eat of miv sort was to be seen aliont CLEARFIELD, the lilac. In fact, the Shakers have g, testimony against tho idolizing of auimals which Is to frequent among the people of the world. Neither do they keep hogs. That practice, fcldcr r retlcnclc inlormeu us, was nnauy abandoned by the society about nine or ton yean ago, the flesb ol swine Doing esteemed by them anwholtome ana unclean, and the raising of the same waa renounced tor ttiatreason. Oar meal were served in a separate room of the community building, to which we were summoned by ft bell in our apartment rang from the great house. Everything was puro, whole some, good, abundant. We bad moat, eirrrs. two or three sorts of vegetables. white bread, ordinary oorn bread, and a most excellent and agreeable Vind of coarse ureau mauu oi wuuntoii uuur entirely unbolted. Tea and cofl'oe were offered us ; ft pitcher of oream stood on the table, and the butter waa exquis ite. Though we found no one in the room on entering, ono of tho sisters came in before the meal was finished to learn if anything more was wanted. We asked Klder Frederick if tbe mem bers bad meat, tea, and coffee, and he said that all had thom who desired, but that for his part, except eggs, be nau. taxen no animal ioou, not even butter, fur many years, and that most of the members practised the samo ab stention, though it was entirely ft mut ter ol choice witn them all. Butter, he said, they used but little, even in cooking, thinking cream a groat deal better. We asked if any of them used tobacco. lie said that formerly it had ooen nsoa. out that now it was aban. doned by all, except possibly some very old members of tue society in other places. At Lebanon nobody uses it in any form. Wo did nut ob serve in tne society, bowever, any nidi cation of bad health or unhappiness. Un the contrary, a more healthy, ac tive, robust, and contented set of peo ple can hardly be mot with anywhere. Ut course we beam no boisterous con vernation or loud laughter, since a re ligious quiet is the habit of the place but every one was cheerful, ready to answer any questions or converse upon matters either of faith, discipline, or industry, jiospecting tne attaint ot the world, they mainilested no particu lar curiosity. Wo did not discover that thoy took the newspapers, and yet many of their inquiries indicated a reasonable degree of familiarity with tne events ana trie matters ol the tlav, The Shakers are, first of all, a re ligions people, l neir sincerity is per fect anil their faith complete. It does not, however, rest upon authority, and wo iieuni no suggestion that any prin ciple ought to be received because it bas been taught cither by the Hible or by any rcvealer or prophet ancient or modern. The Saviour they bold to be a man innuencod to an extraordinary uegroe ny wnai iney call tbo t'hrist spirit, in their uloa ol this spirit we lonna nothing personal ; but whoever comes under its influence is raised by it into t region of high spiritual illu mination similar to that in which, ac coming a tnoir views. Jaaavaat Naxa reth dwelt. The doctrino of Trinity in tho (iodhoad they expressly reject ; but they hold to the idea of ft dual principle in the divine being. There is, thoy say, not only a Heavenly Fa ther, but ft Heavenly mother also ; and this is one of their chief tcnouv if in deed it is not the most "important of thom an. "Jiut, wo asKed, "are there two persons in the oroator of all things? Are the Heavenly father and the Heavenly .Mother distinct from each other, or ono f" "That," we were told, is ft question on which we express no opinion. What wo are absolutely con vinced of is that these two principles constitute the divinity, however they may be impersonated," an answer which recalls to tbe student ol philosophy the doctrine nt the Divine Love and Wis dom laid down with such wonderful profundity by Kmsniiel Swedenborg. 1 he .Shakers aro great believers in spiritual manifestations, so called. They say that thoy have bad such things among thom from the beginning, and their theory of inspiration seems to consist very much In Influences of that sort from the world beyond the grave. A he ordinary name ol the so ciety, Shakers their real name is that of t nited Believers is derived from the tremblings and convulsive shakings produced by such spiritual interven tion in tne cany days or the ordor. Such knowledge of spirits they claim to have now, althengh they make no public use ot It, and do not appear in any distinct way to cultivate that kind ol intercourse with the other world. Com in ir irom thoolocv to nractical religion, the two osscntial doctrines of Shakonsm are celibacy and the com munity of goods, Celibacy thoy insist upon as the only condition ol a high spiritual state. Jesus of Nazareth was celibate, and in their belief no human being can attain great religious eleva tion who does not ohsorve this rule. It is, howovor, only a part of their sys tem of asceticism. Their theory seems to comprehend every form of self-denial which can bo practised without abso lute injur- to health or the destruction of life. Sell-denial In eating and drink ing, living upon coarse kinds of food, the repression of evory violent ten dency, abnegation of all earthly ambi tions, tbo utter renunciation of tbe world and its vanities, of all outward show and self-assertion, all belong to gether in this part of their scheme. Their extreme simplicity And plain ness in dress, habitations, life, and con versation, with devton to Industry. thrift, ami careful economy are out- wnni maniiostauons oi tne same prin ciple. Community of goods the Shak ers hold to as the only sure founda tion for the outward equality of spiri tual men, and the indispensable Bul wark of self-denial, humility, and a heavenly frame of mind. The organization of the United Be lievers is exceedingly simnla. There aro the members, forming the body of tne cnurcn ; the eiders charged with tho supervision of the family or com munity and with care-taking, temporal and spiritual ; and above these, is the ministry who exercise a similar influ ence and control over a number ol families together. The elders are wo men as well as men, equal in numbers, and in authority ; and the ministry is likewiso composed of person of both sexes. Of forms and ceremonies there is very little ; of outward show of rank and distinction, nothing at all. Mem bers aro admittod into tho community after careful examination and inquiry, full discussion of all points, and through mutual understanding. F.very one must adopt the principles of tbe society in their completeness ; but ft man or a woman may be received nd while obeying the rule, may yet remain in tbe world when it i necessary for the fulfilment of any duties, mob aa the pro tection of ft married partner who doe not with to loin the society, or the ed ucation anil ear ol children who are similarly avers. Or it man la In debt, he is not allowed lo live in a PRINCIPLES, HZT MEN. PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30, 1875. Shaker community as a member until the debt is settled. No person is re ceived into the society with obligations of either kind that are unsatisfied. Where there are no such obstacles, but where the wife or children will not join, tbe applicant is required to divide his property in suitable proportions, and lie only puts into tho oouimunity the share which properly remains for himself. The moment a member be come doubtful reipecting the doctrines or usages of the society, he is always free to leave, and ou his departure a suitable allowance U made to him out ot the treasury of the community, The system seems to he one altogether of conviction and consent, not at all of constraint or domuauon. Their fundamental doctrine of self- denial ia especially directed to celibacy and chastity, and of this they make a great account. Thoy bold to it as the law ol divine trulli, tnd their lives oorrospond with their -faith. Since the Kliukers first bsiaaio known, no suspicion has boon cut upon them in this regard. Wbftteveliypocrisy may exist elsewhere, it basnet been found among them.

As in the divine bating, tho male and female principlo equality coexist, so in every society, man nil woman must alike take part, according to the ca pacity and qualifications of each, or disorder and niiackitf will result. Moreover, according to tho Shakers, the fault of the American scheme of (iovornmcnt is that woman is excluded from her rightful place, and compelled to obey au authority in which she bus never consented, and to be ruled by officials whom (he has not helped to choose.

The quietism oi their religion is reflected in their man ners and their looor. They are cheer ful, kindly, courteous, but never nosiy or vehement. We did not hear nt Lebanon a violent exclumation or a vacant laugh ; aid yet there was no 5 loom, nor any show of that tierce and esperate agony over the sins of hu man nature, or that fntonso anxiety respecting the material concerns of lifo, which are so cflen to be met with among religionist tnd among the peo ple ol the world in general. uno eveutng we were invited to be present at the worship of the family. The meeting was held in a largo, un carpeted upper room, iu which a couple of chairs and a row of benches against the walls wore tho osly furniture. We wore taken in before the community assembled. Thoy presently entered, tho men at one door and the women at another, all in the community dress, except two or throe men, who had joined too rocontly to have their uni- lorm ; and each party formed in lour linos across the room, lacing each other, with Klder Frederick and his coad jutor, Kldoress Antoinette, at the heat), l'heyremai nod with their bands cluspod ami eyes oowncast a lew moments, in silonce. Then Klder Frederick stotiiicd for ward, and standing between the two divisions, delivorod a brief exhortation upon tho joy of aspirin toward heaven and hoavenly concerns, and the delight resulting irom puling the lower na ture in all respects citiroly under foot. Then he turned back into his former place. Again a panne of silence, and then some of the brethren and sisters struck up ft song, or hvmn as other people weuld call it,anj sang it through, tbe ond being indiouled by all the worshippers dropping their hands. This waa followed by another pause and another song, anil so on. until throe or four melodies had boon completed. Then the forinatiol was broken np, and oight or ten men and women took their places lacing iach otlier in two ranks in tho centre ol tho room, while the rest of tbo la mil; formed by twos on tho outsido, the .lien first and tho women behind thon. After a brief period of silenco, those in tho centre commenced another song, accompanied with a tossing molioB ot tho hands, as if intendod to show that worship is labor ; and at tbo snme timo, the ranks without began with the sumo motion of the bauds tomovo rather rspidy around tho room, sonio simply walk ing, and others as if dancing; und in deed, this part of tho service seemed to bo intended to illustrate at onco tbe idea of a sacred dance and of an act of industrious adoration to ward the Most High. As tho song was finished, the company stood still, dropping their bands at the sides for a moment, and then clasping them again before the musical strain was renewed by the singers. During ono of theso pauses, Klderes Antoinette delivered an exhortation similar in character to what we had before heard from Klder Frederick. To us it was a strange scone ; and though we nave witnessed tbo worship of different religions and of many churches, we have never bo- neid any religious nice portormed tn a spirit more devout, intelligent, or be coming. W hila at Lebanon, we conversed not only with the beads of the family, but with several members, especially with young Swede who had recently ex changed tho Vulvority of Vpsal for ine inwaru joys aim ine oonsutut, though not intellectual or sobelorly, occupation of nnaKcr me. I et it seem ed very clear that Shakerism bus now assumed a now departure aud a more philosophical development, especially in the mind and the public labors of Elder Frederick. Ho is an English man, but has boon a member of tho society al Lebanon for some forty years. Uo is a brother of that remarkable person, George 11. Evans, who a quar ter of ft century since set on loot in this city tho agitation fur land roiorm and tor tue limitation ol ownership in land, which loll as its result the free home stead law of Congress. Not man of school education, Klder Frederick is ft thinker, at onoe religious and practi cal, and the stamp of his character is seen UHm everything at Lebanon. He has written several books upon Shakeristu, and ha delivered public lectures in this country and in England, which have deservedly excited atontion. One consequence is seen in the presence at Lebanon of young persons of intense and concentrated nature, attracted to the society by sympathy with its ideas, and likely to develop it and carry it for ward in the future; and another is the publication of a newspaper called the Shaker and Stuikcrtat, of which Klder Frederick W. Kraus and Eldcrcss An toinette Doolittle are the editor. We learned also that they have occasional meetings for the reading of scientific things ; and the essays of Darwin and Huxley were mentioned an made famil iar to them in this way. But all this appeared to us an innovation, foreign to the spirit of earlier Shakerism and similar in loot to the modern usage of regular theological education among the preachers of the Methodist Church. Inquiring also respecting a tew children whom we snw at Lebanon, and who were brought there by their parents, we were informed that their education is carefully attended to in all necessary studies. Of mere amusement there is of course nothing, not even among the children. Tho peacvfulness of life at Mosnt Lebanon cannot but be grateful to any mind wearied with the antagonisms of oivilized lite ; and whoever has once visited that beautiful mountain side, and heard the honest Yea, Yes, Nay, Nay, of the United Believers, will long remember the tranquil rtloex, the deep, inward faith, the far-reaching aims of these cleanly and simple brethren.

The writer gjves tlio very num ber of tho houses in which these two merchants lived, and how could he huvo done that, a French lutly askod me lust night, if the story were not true?.

Parent often unconsciously injure their children by assuming that tbey are actuated by wrong motives. In very early life we learn that others can know but lit tie about our thoughts and leeungs. Therefore, it is not their prerogative to Jndge of our motives. Every one naturally wishes to be pre sumed bonest ; ana if we know that such i the presumption respecting us, it is comparatively difficult for us to in dulge or act out our depravity. But if we find that we are presumed to be dishonest it it 1 to be taken for Cnted that we Intend wrong the t impuse of a depraved heart is sure to be wrong. And a child is aa sensi tive to such injury aa any one. Let bim imbibe the notion that his parents habitually suspect him of mischief, and they are certain to provoke bim to wrath, and actually Induce him to oom- mit miscoiei, oi wmcn ue nau never before conceived. The fueling of his young and wicked heart is very likely to be : "Well, since X am thought no better, and, therefore, I will be no bet ter, I might as well find some enjoy ment, and if 1 cannot have any credit where I do try to do right, 1 will just abandon such effort, and give loose reins to my passions, and secure pleas ure as I can." Many a child, it is feared, has thus become wayward, and undesignedly turned aside Irom the path of virtue by bis dearest earthly guardians and friends. A betrayal ot more sell-uiterest than parental affection is sure to work mis chief in the heart of a child. It is love which movos the heart more than a sense ol duty. We discharge our duty to our friends, not so much because it is a dittv as a nleasure. It is love, not duty, which causes the fond mot her to watch with unremitting anxiety over the couch of her sick child. Love to God and love to man commends itself to the human mind as the correct funda mental principle of action : and the very little child soon instinctively knows and ioels its force long before he can define and analyze it. lie knows and feels that it is what a parent owes to him. At any rate, no oue can ap preciate it better where it is exorcised towards him. Well now, let the child obtain the notion that euch a feeling for bim in a parent's heart has been displaced by a predominating selfish- ess let the child imbibe the idea that the parent, in all his requirements, is actuated by bis own self gratification, rather thn by any peculiar and fond affection and ho feels that the parent, as such, is worthy of no special reci procity 'of regard. Hence, his com mands, as parental, are spurned, and consequently th child is provoked to wrath to think that one should thus presume to act a parent's part. Every child's heart yearns for a parents affec tion to meet his want : and if it is met ith nothing but the cold demands of a aoruiu seii-iuieruai, it must suner a sod repulse. Under such circumstances, s child may be induced to obey from fear, while he cannot do otherwise ; but be can never love to obey with the proper reelings oi a iiinu, it can never be his pleasure to do a parent's will. He may obey one because be is his master; but be can never obey him because be is his parent For there is no ground for tho reciprocity of lond, parental and filial affection. it is worthy ol remark that the ob ligations of parents and children are mutual. The obligation is not all on ono side. It is not simply tbe duty ot the child to obey ; neither is it the sole duty of the parent to exact obedience, regardless ol the manner in whioh it ia done. But, while it is the duty of the parent to exact obedience, and, at the same time, of the child to obey, the parent owos it to bis child to secure his obedience in a manner not need lessly to provoke bis wrath. And to this end it is all important that both parent and child should comprehend that their mutual obligation rests upon the obligation which they owe in com mon to thoir Maker. A parent must reflect as seriously uiion his position towards his child, as be ever does on the position of that child towards him self. Ho has no more right to make himself a despot toward th child, than he has to try and make the child his grovelling slave. No parent is either omnipotent or irresponsible towards bis olt-sprtng. It is well, also, tor parents lo consider how much of their children's disobedi ence and waywardness is justly charge able upon themselves. Jt ia true tho child, as well as tho parent, must be held accountable for bis own sin ; yot we must remember that we are so con stituted as easily to invelvo one another in sin ; and the nearer the relations which we sustain in life, the greater the danger ol involving ono another in transgression. In case of tho little child, who, it may be, willingly goes to the public house to get his father's bottle tilled with intoxicating drink, who is most to blame, the child or tho intemperate fnthor who sends bim ? Inslinot or intuition answers, in case of the child, who is thrown into a pot by tbe angry look, tono, or manner oi the parent, who is most to blame ? Ought not such questions to modify tbo passions, to secure more patience, consistency, and lovo, from parents, in all their thoir dealings with their children ? Finally, lot parents reflect upon the criminality and cruelty of provoking their own children to 'Wrath. It is mel ancholy enough to think of exciting such a hateful passion in any ono's breast, but much more so in tho breast of a beloved child. Let evory parent shudder at the thought. Wrath auger what is it? An essential cle ment of a demon 1 What should wo think of a man who would earlcssly expose hut children to vipers, reptiles, savage beasts of prey ? And yet how often do parents eiiose their children to the iultuenco ot thoir own ungodly passions, which, without some power ful antidote, will infect, poison, aud destroy their immortal souls forever I Oh, what a fearful responsibility rests upon parents, in view of their capability, and the dangor of thoir exerting that oapabillty.totrainupthoirchildraiitobe the com i is n ions oi nenas, who might be anirels of light I And, oh, the un natural eruolty involved in being un- mindful ol sued a responsibility I Thorn la a reood deal of sound wise dom in tbe suggestion of tho farmer : "If yon want yonr boy to stay at home, don l bear too nara on tne grindstone whon he turns the crank." Misery assails riches as lightning does toe highest towers; or as a irve that Is heavily laden with fruit breaks its own boughs, so do riches destroy the virtues ol their possossors. Bunulcion is no less an enemy to virtue than to happiness. He that is already corrupt is naturally suspicious and he that becomes auspicious wil quickly ne corrupt.

The most perfect banana plantation in the United States is that of Col. Whitner, near Silver Lake, over two hundred miles south from Jacksonville, Florida, and practically beyond the region of killing frosts. This planta tion covers an area of several acres, and contains over ten thousand plants, most of them in bearing. The plants are of different varieties. Some of them are huge trees, twenty foot high, with a trunk from four to five inches in diameter. Tho banana, as cultivated in this climate, bears no visible seed, but it is propagated from sliis or cut tings which bear transplanting well, and grow with great rapidity. These olina ale Ket..wi!.

They require a deep, rich soil, and considerable moisture. It has no season, but the fruit matures generally in irom eleven to thirteen months from date of planting, and by properly timing the planting riie fruit may lie obtained at all seasons of the year. Tbe cuttings once planted, first develop two leaves tightly rolled together, which grow to a height of three or four foot, when tbe blades begin to unfold one after another, into great broad leaves, the stems lorining a smooth trunk, which grows to the size of ft largo apple tree, composed entirely ol these eccentric leaf stems or petals. In about eight or nine months, according to tbe warmth of tho season, a deep purple bud peeps out just at tho point of divergence of the upper leaves, and soon pushes itself into full view, its lengthening stem bending under the weight of a purple blossom, shaped like a pointed egg. Soon a leal ot this blossom opens at the pointed end, and rolls back to the base, disclosing a row of five or six tiny bananas, nestled close together, as if hiding under the shelter of this pro tecting leaf. Each miniature fruit bos a waxen yellow flower at the end, with a stigma projecting through it Other loaves of the blossom untold one after another, in tho same war. until twenty or thirty clusters of fruit are developed, all clinging to one stem, when these leaves wither and fall, and tho fruit swells and lengthens to maturity,which requires generally ntiout three or lour months. The great stem on which the fruit grows bonds under its weight un til the long finger-Iiko fruit hangs down in graceful clusters. r.acli plant bears but a single bunch of fruit, and then withers and dies, but while the lrttit is maturing there snrimra un from the base ot the trunk several off-shoots, which take the place of tbe old plant when that ha oeen removed, and go on growing to the full size of the parent tree.

By outting the bunches at tho right timo they can bo shipped to Now York with safety. Col. W hitnor has upon his plantation to-day thousands of bunches, in all stagos of development, from the little miniature buds to tho well-matured fruit six or seven inches long. Many of those bunches contain ono hundred and twenty-fire bananas, which sell readily to shippers at two rents each, from which may be inferred the groat profit oi banana culture. An acre ol ground will readily sun- port six hundred plants. Suppose the bunches to average sevonty-fivo ba nanas each, and we have an annual in come of I'.HIO from a single acre. Tho cost of preparing and enriching the ground and setting the plants tho first year, including the cost of the slips, win average, say, 1 per plant leaving a profit of 1300 ; but they perpetuate themselves after the first year, and re quire but little expenditure. Besides, the shoots that spring up from tho bulbous root stock will supply plants enough to double the ground oach year ; or they may be sold for more than enongh to pay for all expense after the first year, thus leaving tho lor the second and subsequent years. Humboldt states that an amount ot land that will produce 1.000 pounds of potatoes will yield 44,000 pounds of uaimiian, anil a sunnce ueanng wuent enongh to feed one man will yield bananas enough to feed twenty-five men. as., w Business Maxims.
