OF all the hotels in the world, the verv
oldest is a lonely one in California, on the
road between San Jose and Santa Cruz.
Imagine ten immense trees, standing a few
feet apart and hollow inside; these are the
hotel, neat, breezy and romantic The larg-
est tree is sixty-dve feet around, and con
tains a sittingroOm and that bureau of Bac-
ehus wherefrom is dispensed the thing that
biteth and stingeth. All about this tree 10 a
garden of flowers and evergreens. The
drawing-rOOm is a bower made of redwood.
evergreens and madrOna branches. For
bed chambers there are nine great hollow
trees, Whitewashed or papered, and having
doors cut to fit the shape Of the holes. Lite
nature finds place in leaning stump dub

same haunt Of Baeehus, it is certain that
the guests of this forest establishment would
feel like nothing so much as dryads.

The FLOODS In I+a1lv

The London Times of the 9Th, in
an editorial on the floods in Italy,
says that two-thirds of the province
of Mantua, and one-third of that of
Ferrara have been flooded. Over
10000 families are homeless. Vast
tracts in the territories of Parma.
Reggie and Modena are turned into
lakes, on the surface of which NAV
be seen the tops of trees, roofs of
houses and floating carcasses of
drowned cattle. Not only the solid
barns and substantial farm houses
peculiar to those districts, but even
churches have in many cases been
unable to withstand the violence of
the floods. Many human beings
have perished, both of those who al
lowed themselves to be caught in the
lower buildings, and of those who
fled for safety to the Ioftier edifices.
but hardly less wretched is the CON
dition of the survivors. The cattle
they have rescued from the flood are
perishing for want of fodder. They,
themselves, are thrown for susie
nance on their neighbors' cahrity.
The harvest they have lately garner
ed, the fields they have just sown, |
are laid waste. What was month |
ago the richest Of plains, is now a

Cranberry Culture.

The Newark Courier saws: The
consumption of cranberries has in
creased very greatly of late years,
and accordingly the price of the
fruit has been steadily advanced.
The cultivation of this berry affords
better profit to the grower than
many other branches of agriculture,
and the area devoted to raising them
is being extended yearly. New Jer-
sey raises the great bulk of cranber-
ries in this country, as is seen by the
following statement: In 1870 Maine
produced 1000 barrels, Massachu-
sets 5000 and Connecticut 1000,
while New Jersey produced 10000
barrels. In 1869, IA, S85 barrels were
freighted to various stations on the
st. Paul and Milwaukee railroad.
while in 1868 but 5000 barrels were
shipped. The crop of 1867 was lsrg-
er than that of 1870 by 1 500 barrels,
the total production that year being
$500 barrels to 81, 900 in 1870. Of
this crop New Jersey produced 3d.
600 barrels, New England 12,5O0,
and the West $4,000, The average
price per barrel for the season of
1867 was $l6 per barrel, which shows
total amount of 81, 100000.
Since the above statistics were
compiled there has been an large in
crease of land devoted to cranberry
culture in this State, and it is now
estimated that there are about 5000
acres thus employed, the value of
the crop raised on which was last
year about 100000, or $IO0 an acre.
In the southern part of the State
hundreds of acres of land are yearly
being redeemed from an unproduc
tive condition by being devoted to
this branch of agriculture, and pro-
perty which a few years ago could
have been purchased for a mere
song, now commands good figure.
Probably, there is no branch of |
agriculture which needs less expert
menting upon than the culture of |
cranberries, for the reason that it
can be entered into by farmers in
any part of the State, provided they
have the land to spare; and no doubt
there are thousands of acres of un-
cultivated and Improbable land
which can be employed, just such as
is needed to produce crop that will
compete in value with the richest
and most productive soil in other
crops.
