SALE OF WHIsKY.-Marshal Ellmaker has
announced public sale of contraband whisky
to take place on the 10th inst. This will be the
law. Under the old law, it could not be sold at
a less price than the amount of the tax, two
dollars the gallon. Now, however, the Marshal
may sell it for any sum above The price of the
present tax. A large quantity of whisky is in
bond, and has been for many months, owing to
the inability of the Marshal to get the price of
the tax for II. Under the new order OF things
the bonded warehouses will be cleared OF it as
soon as the necessary preliminary steps to the
gales can be taken.

THE CASTOR OIL BEAN.


This plant is of tropical origin. and
has about the same range Of climate n
which it may be profitably cultivated as
the sweet potato. 1t is grown to a con-
siderable extent in the southern part OF
Illinois, but the largest yield is in the ex'
IRENE Southern countries, showing that
it needs a hot sun and q long season to
give the largest amount Of oil. The
whole treatment Of the plant up to har-
vest is much like that of Indian corn
The plants should not stand nearer than
four feet, and the best cultivators place
the rows seven feet each way. The plant
is a rank grower, .and wants plenty OF
food and sunlight. The Florida beans
are considered better than the Spanish
for oil. Two beans are usually planted
in a hill, but one should be taken out
when the plants are six inches high. The
cultivation may all be done by horse
power, but care should be taken not to
wound the stalk or break any Of the limbs.
C~ultivating five or six times is none too
much to secure the best results. The
proper time for planting in southern IL
hnois is about the FIRST of May, and by
the middle of August some Of the stalks
will be cit to cut, This should be done
when the bottoms of the spikes yielding
the beans begin to turn brown and crack
open. II pays to have a drying house
for the curing Of the beans, and a plan
of one is given in the May 4~gricutturist,
1867. Drying yards are discarded by
skillful cultivators. This crop is usually
planted upon the poorest land, and is
thought by some to improve it quite as
much as clover. The average yield IN
der fair treatment is about twenty bush
els to the acre. The price Of the beans
varies much more than than that of ordi-
nary farm crops. During the past year
the price has ranged from SO. 80 to 1925
per bushel, in the st. Louis market, where
most of the oil used in this country is
manufactured. An acre of the beans, or
twenty bushels, will yield about sixty
eight gallons of oil, worth at present
prices about $3.50. Those who raise the
beans, think the manufacturing pays
much better than the cultivation. Posi-
bly, the farmers who raise this crop, could
form a joint-stock company, and press
the oil out of their own beans to advan-
tage We believe the business of press.
ing the oil in this country, has been al.
most a monopoly, and that one man has
made a large fortune by it.-A. Y. Anser-
scaa A~grtcuAurist.
