Growth of the Industry. A. correspondent of the Philadelphia | Press, who has lately taken a trip through | the peanut-produeing,regions of the South, sends his paper the following interesting facts relative to the crop and its preparation | for market: If, as some people believe, Africa sent a curse to America in slavery, she certainly conferred a blessing in the universally popu- lar peanut, which grows so well throughout the Southern regions that we shall soon be able to cut off their now large importation altogether. In Virginia they are called “‘pea- nuts’; in North Carolina, “ground peas”; in South Carolina,. Geogia and Mississippi, ‘“pinders” ; in Alabama, ‘‘ground nuts,” and in Tennessee, ‘‘goobers.” The pr eparation of peanuts for the market is an interesting operation. They are first ‘put in on immense cylinder, from which they enter the brushes, where each nut re- ceives fifteen or sixteen feet of brushing be- ' fore it becomes free. After this clee ansing ' process the nuts drop on an endless belt, which revolves very slowly. On each side 2k, white, tan-colored and crushed strawberry, some of them—whose duty it is to separate | the poor nuts from the good ones. Those of the nuts that “pass” go on to the next room, where more girls await their arrival and put them in bags which, when filled, are sewed up Socks,” “Suns,” “Shields,” These are “No. 1” peanuts. The poorer nuts, which are separated by the girls at the endless belt, are all picked ever again; the best are singled out and branded, after being put in the sack; as “Ships.” The “Ships” are not so large nor so fine in o pearance as the “C ocks,”” but are just < good for eating. The third grade of nuts is known as “Eagles,” and the cullings that are left fromthe ‘‘Eagles” are bagged and sent to a building where the little meat that it in them is extracted by a patent sheller. This “tmeet’’—for by this name is is known to the dealers—is put up, clean and_ nice, in 200 pound bags and shipped for the use of copfectioners ‘and manufacturers of peanut eandy. There is also an oil made from some of the nuts, and in this specialty a large trade is done by wholesale druggists. Of the pea- nuts there is nothing wasted, for even shells are made useful, being put in immense sacks and sold to livery men for horse bedding, and a very comfortable, healthful bed they make. I see by one of the Atlanta papers that a mill is about to be erected for the manu- facture of peanut flour, which it is said makes most excellent biscuit. In parts of Georgia I have eaten pastry made from pea- nut flour, and it was excellent, cocoanut in taste somewhat, although much more oily and sweet. The kernels of the | peanuts are ground between ordinary mill- stones and the flour is ‘bolted’ or sifted through wire sieves in order that all of the coarse, sharp pieces and all the leather-like skins may be removed. The refuse—if it may be so ealled—makes excellent food for pigs. There is one objection, however, to peanut flour as a steady diet. Itis said to be very injurious to the teeth, causing them _ iirst to turn vellow and then decay. The cultivation of the peanut will, before long, be one oy the chief industries of the South, and bids fair, in time, to rival cotton growing as an occupation, the profits to each acre of land being about the same, as pea- nuts are much easier to grow than cotton, requiring less care and attention. Cheese as Food. National Live-Stock Journal. Cheese is generally regarded as a luxury, the , ire ' and for the most part used as such in this country. FANCY AND It is, however, a substantial food, and in many parts of Europe it is used in the place of other animal food.

The retail prices of cheese and beef are generally about the same, consumers finding in them about equal value asameans | for sustaining life.

BULLYING BANKRUPTS. —The Demand Denied. | We give place below to three of a series’ of letters received last week from I seRoy | and neighboring towns bearing directly and | indirectly upon the question discussed in a previous issue of THE TRADESMAN— | jhnamely, the peculiar treatment accorded | workingmen by the now bankrupt lumber | firm of Kellogg, Sawyer & Co. The first two epistles are from the firm in question and the business house in which they have a financial interest; and were it not the case that there are always two sides to every story, the statements contained therein would settle the discussion beyond perad- venture. The position taken in the original article was authoritative, being based on the statements of reputable business men, and verified by a personal investigation of the subject among the workmen whose cause was espoused. Since the original publica- tion, still further inquiries have been made, and sufficient evidence secured to maintain a defense in an action for libel. There has *been no disposition to do Kellogg, Sawyer & 'Co. any injustice in the matter, and when- ever they can disprove any or all of the allega- tions, THE TRADESMAN stands ready to make ample reparation. Until that time, however, and as Jong as they choose to degrade them- selves and their cause by inditing such un- gentlemanly and epithetic letters as those given below, we shall stand by our state- ments, and insist upon their correctness. KELLOGG’S LETTER. LeRoy, Nov. 28, 1883. E. A. Stowe, Editor MICHIGAN TRADE SMAN. My attention has been called to an article ‘in your issue of the 14th, headed “Shabby 2 boatrgnt of Workmen.” It speaks of the firm of Kellogg, Lawyer & Co., which I as- sume is an error, but means Kellogg, Sawyer & Co. To begin with, I brand the writer of the article a liar, and a wilful one. There is not a truthful assertion in the article, and I demand the name of the writer. It does not rest with us alone to assert it as false, but I do not think that there is a man who has worked for us but will pronounce it a vil- lainous lie, from beginning to end, so far as he is concerned. You have seen fit to give as wide a publication to the falsehood—let us see if you will be equally as interested in giving the denial as fair a chance. Our repu- ation, I think, for fair dealing with men is quite as good as would prove to be that of the writer of the article, and it is no more than right that you should give us the name of so slanderous a writer, which I trust you will do at onee, and oblige, Yours, J. E. KELLOGG, Of Kellogg, Sawyer & Co. MR. PATRICK & CO. TO THE RESCUE. LeRoy, Osceola Co., Mich., Nov. 29, 1883. | E. A. Stowe, Esq., Grand Rapids, Mich. Duar Srrz:—In the issue of Tne TRADES- MAN of the 14th inst. an article appeared in one of its columns headed “Shabby Treat- ment of Workmen,” and the implication is that this firm is mixed up in some dishonor- able transactions imputed by that article to Kellogg, Sawyer & Co. We brand the whole article as a fabrication, except the issue of drafts, which were invariably paid in full at their office in Kalamazoo up to the time of their suspension. It is a very common practice for lumbermen in this section of the State, to pay by check, and we cannot see anything “shabby” about it. So far as we are concerned, we never have discounted a check one cent, either for goods or cash, and the instances are not a few in which we have refused any bonus and paid the drafts in full. As to extortionate prices for our goods, our constantly increasing trade from both mill and county is the only evidence we care to offer that the statement in that regard is untrue. What we have further to say is that when you desire to ventilate any man’s business that is none of your business, you had best seek the information desired from re- lable sources, and not pick up street gossip or from men who have more wind than bus- iness pluck, and desire to build themselves up from the misfortunes of others. We de- sire to know the name of the author. Yours Respectfully, | PATRICK & Co. | THE OTHER SIDE OF ‘THE QUESTION. | LeRoy, Nov. 80, 1 Epiron TRADESMAN: — The article in your paper of November 14 in regard to Kellogg, Sawyer & Co.’s treatment of their men inade Mi. J. E. Kellogg more than mad. | He said that it was a lie, but I tell you it was the truth, and can be proven by hun- dreds of men in this place. I am informed Q2 $83. I will give you one ease that is now pending. A Mr. |Win. Ketchum worked for them (and was a faithful man) until they owed him $86 or jinore. Tle drove a mule on the tram road. Said mule has been getting blind for the last | year and all the men on the road know it, but a few days ago they discharged Mr. Ketchum and now refuse to pay him one cent until (as they say) they are satisfied whether the mule is going to become en- tirely blind. ‘These are the facts, and the ‘oceurrence has caused great indignation ‘here. I don’t write this for publication, but to Jet you know that your article of the 14th is true-—every word of it. I know it is not customary for an editor to take any notice of an article uuless the writer’s name istoit. fam not going to give my name, for | am a business man here and don’t want to get in any muss of this kind—in other words, I write simply to let you know that you told the truth in every particular, and after hearing Kellogg had written to you about the matter, thought I would give you} afew hints.

CANDY, NUTS AND FRUITS. The aggregate of trade duri Noveinber was a little less than during the same month last year, but the total for the year promises to equal that of last year. Collections are reported to be usually good, which is doubt- less owing to the small amounts peculiar to the business. Florida oranges are very cheap and good, | bringing from $4 to $5 in this market, with} good supply. Lemonsare ¢ good for this season in’ of the year, and are selling ¢ at $5 and $5.50 for Messina and Palermo fruit. “Malaga grapes are in good supply and sell freely at from $5.75 to $8.50 per bbl. New figs are good, and much cheaper than last year’s crop. Prices range from 13¢ to 17¢ "for good to faney. Peanuts are a shade lower, but owing to the wet weather the nuts are not so bright and handsome as last year, and the erop is thought to be under the average, and low prices are not looked for. Foreign nuts are firm and both Brazils and filberts are higher. HIDES, PELTS AND FURS.

Several carloads have been received from Minneapolis. Asa receiving and distributing point for this staple, Grand Rapids is not equaled by any city of her size in the country. HH. R. Savage has signed with Gray, Burt & Kingman, of Chicago, to represent them on the road in this State. His territory has not yet been determined. ‘Dick’? was with this house from 1874 to 1880, after which he represented Freeman, Hawkins & Co. fora couple of years, returning to the parent housei n 1882, and resuming his connection | with Freeman, Hawkins & Co. at the begin- | ning of the present year. | The Grand Rapids Chair Co. propose} making a new departure in the furniture line ; by way of complete suits of dining room| furniture, similar to the manner chamber | furniture is now made.

The cor- poration is also getting out a line of book- cases, in ash, walnut and imitation mahog- any, part of which are now ready for ship- ment. Twelve new styles of chamber suits, and an equal number of new patterns, in chairs are in preparation for the spring trade. The supplement containing these goods is larger than the original catalogue issued last spring. AROUND THE STATE. Palethorpe & Graham, grocers at Green- ville, have sold out to E. Mann. Dr. John Graves, the veteran druggist at Wayland, is recovering froma long erysip- elatous illness. Wm. L. Heazlitt’s brick store building at Wayland is nearly completed, and will shortly be occupied. The Lansing Wagon Works, which began operations about three years ago with a force of 20 men, now employ 85 men. W. IL. Keal, who has been engaged in the | drug business at Dexter for a year past, has | sold his stock to Charles E. Smith, of the) same place. Kingsbury & Able, proprietors of the New York Tea Store at Muskegon, have sold their store, stock and business to Jones Bros., proprietors of the Grand Union Tea Co. The Howard Record explains the cause of a business suspension somewhat. tersely as follows: C.S. Knight, a merchant in Ed- more, has been closed up on account of ow- ing too much. Charlevoix people feel the need of a grist- mill, and a couple of local capitalists propose to furnish the funds necessary to erect and equip such a structure, as soon as a practical miller can be secured to operate the mill. Muskegon News: The season of lumber manufacturing is rapidly closing, and proba- bly but few of the mills will be in operation after this week. There is nothing doing in the market, and there is considerable uncer- tainity as to the future of prices for the coarser grades. Gardiner & Fargo, grocers at Muskegon, will occupy new quarters in the Rifenburg block January 1. The vacated store in the Landreth block will be occupied by Fred Brundage & Co., druggists, and W. B. Cutler, shoe dealer, will move into the store for- merly occupied by Bundage. A peculiarity of the make-up of the busi- ness men of Coopersville is that seven prom- | inent representatives of trade there were | formerly residents of Edwards and Hermon, St. Lawrence county, N. Y. They are J. B., D. O. and W. G. Watson, J. E. Rice, D. Cleland, M. R. Griffin and Geo. L. Root.

None of the mills at Spring Lake have yet closed for the season, and it is probable that some of them may continue operations until Christmas. “We can get along with a short winter,” said a prominent business man last week, ‘‘but a long winter is what we dread— that is, when the mills shut down early and do not resume operations until late in the Spring. A short winter season serves to make Spring Lake about as good a business point as any place I have in mind.” Assignment of F. D. Caulkins, at Fife Lake. Frank D. Caulkins, who was for- several years associated with G. A. Dillenback in the drug business at Cadillac, but who launched out in business on his own hook at Fife Lake about a year ago, made an assign- ment last week to H. B. Fairchild, of the firm of Hazeltine, Perkins & Co. Mr. Fair- child immediately caused an inventory of the stock to be made, revealing nominal assets of $2,080.14 and liabilities of $2,176.69. Mr. A. H. Hazeltine has been placed in charge of the stock by the assignee, and will carry on the business as before until a sale can be ef- fected. In this way Mr. Fairchild hopes to realize nearly the entire value of the stock, and pay creditors nearly the face of their claims. The following isa full list of the amount each have at stake: | Hazeltine, Perkins & Co.,Grand Rapids. $465 09 Mob! & Kenning rt 79 20 Eaton, Lyon & Allen * ..129 66 M. H. Treusch = .. 14 22 T. H.

The necessaries of life are cheaper, and you can afford to get along on smaller pay.” “T should like to know what necessaries of life are cheaper,” said John. ‘Beef is as high as ever, flour hasn’t dropped a cent, and coal is as dear as ever.” “Well,” said the employer, as he turned away, “at any rate, the price of postage stamps has been reduced one-third.” There is a big difference beween men and women when it comes to new cloths. When a woman gets a new dress she is unhappy until an opportunity offers for her to show the dress off in public. But when a man buys a new suit he generally puts on the pants first with his old coat, and then slips around town looking like a defeated candi- date. And thus piece by piece he introduces his new suit to the public. San Francisco capitalists have organized a whaling and whale oil refining company, in- tending to make the Golden Gate the center of the whale oil trade. G. A. Wagar, the general dealer and lumberman at Mears, was reported to have nade an assignment, but telegraphed here Monday a denial of the report. is the Hebrew name for Phillip, and that he sometimes assumed that cognomen.
