The Transmission CT Foreign Seeds In Soils.
Let California and Far West subscribers read
the following, from the London Farmers Magazine.
At recent meeting of the Edinburgh Botanic So
ciety, MIR. MNab read paper in which he stated
that he had been long in the belief that the trans
mission of fruits and seeds in fit stale for germina
tiGn would be better accomplished by being packed
in soil than by any other known method. This ex-
pertinent was fully tested by himself during 1884,
when he brought the seeds of many of the
American Oaks and other trees in boxes filed
wi soil, while portions of the same kinds of seeds
packed, both in brown paper and cloth bags were,
in many instances, totally useless. The method he
adopted for the American tree seed. follows
He purchased several strong deal boxes about IA
inches in diameter, and made of inch wood. He
afterwards procured quantity of soil taken from
depth of or 10 inches under the surface as to
possess only a natural dampness. layer of the
soil inches deep was placed on the bottom of the
boxes, above which layer of seeds distributed:
another layer of soil and then seed and so till the
boxes were full the whole pressed very firmly
down. when the lids nailed on. allowing no
possible room to shake about. When they reached
Edinburgh December 1884. the seeds and soil were
During the following spring they grew freely while
of those brought home in the paper and cloth bags,
comparatively few of the varieties grew the
being without exception perforated with insects
The kinds which grew were from four to five weeks
later of negotiating than those brought home in soil
Acorns brought home in bag Of sphagnum moss,
after the superfuous moisture had been wrung from
it, equally successful with those in soil.

The Herald, in reviewing the growth and prosperi-
ty of that great metropolis, has the following remarks
''W We venture to say that the entire list of new
buildings, of all kinds, within this city erected, or in
course of completion, during the current year, will
rise above fifteen hundred, at total cost of least
twenty millions Of dollars AT this rate of progress
moving onward with accelerated momentum every
year, who estimate the real and population
of New York for the year 1900, even at the next
census of 1860?
And 10 what do we owe all this Il? To the Union
and the compromises of the Constitution which bind
the Union ogeher-to Southern slavery and Southern
commerce-to the acquisition of Florida, Louisiana,
Texas, and last, though not least TO California and
the gold trade of San Francisco Thus the policy of
sustaining the constitution, and of maintaining all
lis compromises and the sagacions policy of widening
its boundaries, made New York what il is-ihe great
metropolis OF America. In abiding BY the Union and
the constitution in giving encouragement to that H.
beraI and expansive policy which has redounded so

the secret of the continuance of unexamped pro-
