RICHMOND, March 10, 1889,
Having purchased Of Mr.. Lysander ID. Childs,
one of Fitzpatrick's Patent Smut Machines or Rub
bers for cleaning wheat of dirt, cheat, smut, and
other Impurities, we have had il set up in our mill,
in a situation to receive the wheat after passing
through nearly all the rubbers, screens and fans,
heretofore employed TO prepare it for the operation
ofbeing converted into flour. Its effects upon the
wheat, after so much cleaning, surprised us, and
we doubt not, that to mills not so well supplied
with machinery, it would be invaluable. Had we
known Of these machines when we were rebuilding
our mills, we would have adopted them in prefer
ence to our present stone rubbers, and dispensed
with a considerable portion of our screens and fans
The machines are simple in their construction, to
all appearance durable and not liable to get out OF
repair. While performing, at the same operation,
the work of rubbing and tanning the wheat, one OF
the largest size requires to drive it the power ufnot
more than two or three OF our fans.

The undersigned, Inspector of Flour, for the town
of Alexandria, and for many years practical millels,
take pleasure in stating, that they have 'een IN ope-
ration, and examined with some attention, Fitz-
patrick's Patent Smut Machine" and have no hesi-
lation in pronouncing it, in their opinions, superior
to any machine heretofore in use for rubbing and
cleaning wheat, and efectually freeing ii OF smut
and dust, white caps, and other matter that has a
tendency to darken and iniure the quality OF -four.
They have also particularly noticed Its effect on the
flour brought to this maIket-that from the mills
where IL is used being much whittier and clearer Of
specks, than that from other mills, or from the same
Mills before the introduction of this valuable i'm
proyement. It's simple, compact, and durable con-
s~truction, combined with the little power required
to keep it in operation, are additional accommodate
lions to its general adoption. Believing it would
be a great acquisition to every milling establish
ment where -four is manufactured, they earnestly
recommend it to the attention Of millers generally.

GARDEN SEEDS.

AS success in gardng depends much on
good seeds. few hin:s on raising, gather
ing, and preserving Them, may be of i'm.
portance 10 the young and inexperienced
gardner. Plants intended for seed, should
be carefully cultivated during their whole
existence, and especially while heir seeds
are ripeuiog. They should also be located
in such a manner, as that those Of the same
species cannot interni1, and produce de,e-
n, rated varieties. To prevent mixing, they
mus, be Sc, a, considerable distances apart,
as even Indian corn has been known to
mix at the d,s,lnc. of three hundred yards.
], is utterly impossible 10 preserve varieties
of cucumbers, melons, squashes, pumpkins,
&C., in their puri'y,if thy arc permit: cd to
flower, and ripen their seeds 10 the garden;
the seeds Of two varieties Of the same spe-
cies of plants should not, therefore. be at
tempted TO be raised in the same garden, al
the same time. ltis this disposition to mix
and degenerate, that renders il difficult to
scedsrneu to raise complete assortment OF
seeds on their own grounds, unless they
are very extensive. =,
The most luxurian, and plants, AMI such
as arrive at maturity the earliest IN the
season, should be selected for seed. They
should be permitted to remain in the
garden until the Sc d is perfectly ripe ; and
should then be gathered and cleaned IN clear
weather. If any moisture remains, they
should be exposed to the rays Of the sun
until they are perfectly dry, and then be pu'
in bags or boxes and secured from the de-
predations of rats, mice and insects, and
the action Of severe cold. AS general
rule, new seed is 70 be preferred to old. on

LACE MADE BY cATERprLLARs,

A curious species OF manufacturing has
been contrived by ar officer of engineers
residing at Munich. Itconsis,s ofIace and
wells, with open patterns in them, made en-
tirely by caterpilIars. The following is the
mode Of proceeding adopted Having
made paste the leaves Of the plant on
which the species ofca.erpiller he employs
iSS;ssds, he spread it 'hiuly over a stone, or
other fiat substance Of the required size. He
then, with gamel.hair pencil dipedin olive
oil, draws the patterns he wishes the insects
to leave open. This ston. is then placed
in an inclined position, and considerable
number of caterplars areplaced at the bot.
tom. A peculiar species is chosen, which
spins strong web. and the animals coln-
mence at the bottom, eating and spinning
their way to the top, carefully avoiding
every par, touched byte e oil, but devouring
every other part of,he paste. The extreme
l.ghtness of these wells. combined with some
strength, is ,ruly'surprisiug. One ofthese
measuring 263 by II inches weighed only
a grain and nalf; a degree of lightness
which will appear more strongly by contrast
with other fabrics. One square yard oflhe
substance Of which these wells are made
weighs 4 l.2 grains, whilst one square yard
of silk gauze weighs 1877 grains, and ons
square yard of the finest net weighs 262 IL
grains.
