Paruculars and blanks from the secretary an Cambridge, Mass. About 18,000 clothes-bsskets were made in Syracuse, N. Y., last year from the product of a thousand acres set to willow thereabout, at one foot diatsnce in rows three feet apart, spring worked with cul- tivator and the growth cut close each fall. The price has fallen from $30 to $20, and the business is considered overdone.

John Bunker, of Mercer, Maine, accord- ing to the Lcwiston Journal, has the ban- ner maple tree ; it is about four feet through at the butt, and with large, low branches. In was tapped this year wher- ever a. bucket could be hung, and in one of its beat up dnya, nine patlfuls were col- lected from ib.’ The rmsll white onion used by those who manufacture pickles are grown es- pecially for that purpose. The same seed is used as for large onions, but in is sown very thicklyâ€"about forty pounds or more to the acreâ€"while to produce the large ones but five or six pounds are required. A rich black mold is best for them. Prof. Tracy is an advocate for the use of ground tobacco stems as an insecticide for striped beetles. The stems can be pur- chnsed at very low cost at tobacco factor- ies, and act as as fertilizer in sdditi on to killing the beetles Professor Cook re- commends the kerosene emulsion for cab- bsge worms. Professor Lezenby seysthst pyrethrum, or Persian insect powder, has proved the most effective of anything yet used at the Ohio Experiment Station for cabbage worms. It is useless for farmers to sow lucerne â€"elfelfsâ€" on stifi' soils with hardpan sab- soil, or where the limestone comes within two or three feet of thezsurface. It is not adapted to such soils and experiment will only result in disapp )iotment. FOR THE FARMER. Mr. J oseph Harrl“ aye he has for many years practised saturating wood with crude petroleum, which makes it. almost) as dur- able as iron. I use coal-oil barrels for wetter-tubs for the stock, and find thab they last for years where an ordinary tub “ fall to shaves " before midsummer. l believe it would pay every farmer to keep a barrel of it on hand and use it liberally on the wood of all tools that must: be ex- posed more or less to the weather. Mr. C. 0. Funk is right when he says the village cow nsnslly presents a. filthy appearance, but wrong when he recom- mends a. stall 6 feet wide, for s. cow will turn partly across it and lie down in her droppings. Witha that 4% to 5 feet long â€"according to the size of the cowâ€"and 4 feet wide, with a drop of 8 inches at the manure ditch behind the cow, there will be no difficulty in keeping her clean, and with sawdust bedding, and a. barrel of land plaster in the stable to sprinkle in the murmur-e ditch, the stable may be kept sweet. It will usually be greatly to the advan- tage to the villager who keep: but one cow not to breed her every year. Moahcowa, if fem-ow will hold out in their mllk for two years or more, and I have mllked a. cow three years and sold her to the butcher when she was giving a paying quantity of mllk. When two cows are kept either in the village or on the form, one should be bred to come in in the spring and the other in the fall, thus equalizlng the supply of milk.

The Maharajah was weighed against a mass of pure gold, which was then dispensed in charity. This custom, called “Tulabhara,” is one of great antiquity, and is said to be trace- able in Travancore to the fourth century. It is not unknown in other parts of India, though, of course, gold is only used in the case of wealthy persons, the humbler sort being content to weigh themselves against spices or grain. 0n the present occasion the Maharaj aih weighed a little over nine stone. The Brahmina, in is said, wished to defer the ceremony, in the hepe that the Maharajah might more easily approach the weight of his father. who did not undergo the rite until 47 years old, when be weighed 14g atone.

The experience of the manufacturers of the ” Myrtle Navy ” tobacco is a valuable lesson in political economy. Previous to their commencmg that brand, the tobecco ‘ made of the finest Virginia leaf was always held at fancy prices, and put up in some fancy style or manufacture. It was thought that only the rich would buy such tobacco, and at the old prices none but the rich could buy it. The makers of the “ [\lyrtl . Navy " resolved to strip the manufacture of the tobacco of all its lancy costs and put their profit at so low a rate that no com- petltor could possibly undersell them with the same quality of article. From the very \ first until now their rate of profit has been a uniform precentage upon the cost. ltis their enormous sales which make their low rate of profit a sazisfnctory one in the aggre- gate, and Also gives them their firm hold upon the nmrkeu.
