GATEsvILLE, Coryelle Co, Texas, Dec.
1S.-Agricultural Editor UNION AND
AMERICAN: Being a regular subscriber for
your excellent paper, am induced to seek
some information through its columns.
First, wish TO know how 10 prepare and
plant the Palma Christ. !or castor bean; the
proper time for planting; how to cultivate,
and when TO gather it. l have never seen
it under cultivation. / would like also 70
know whether it is planted in drills or in
checks, and if In checks, what distance the
rows should be apart, and how many seed
in hill. Any information concerning the
matter will be thankfully received.
W. j. MILLER.
Castor oil purified is so valuable as a
lubricator and for finishing leather as
well as medicine, that we commend
the bean from which it is extracted, as
remunerating crop, The plant re-
quires rich land; but if good for 40
bushels of corn per acre, it viii yield
about 20 bushels Of castor beans, worth
now in large quantities, in st. Louis,
Sl.60 a busheL Mills in this city which
obtain oil from cotton seed might at
no great additional expense, grind
castor beans, get the cold and hot
pressed oil, aad purify the same for
market.
Plant in checks, hills FIVE feet apart
each way, with one good plant to the
bill, when brought to a stand. The
bean plant is as easily killed by frost
as cotton, and the seed should not be
put into the ground too early. Where
seed is plenty, an excess, as in cotton
planting, is thrown in for the cut
worms and other depredators; but too
many plants diminishes both the quail
ty and quantity Of the crop.
In small crops, the pods are gathered
in hampers or baskets, and, like cotton,
is carried off by hand; but where culti-
waited in fields, every fourth row has
space wide enough for cart or wagon
to pass. The beans go into this as corn
is gathered. The sun opens the pods
in few days and does most or all of
the threshing. As IN threshing wheat
with horses out doors, in the old way,
a clean. hard, smooth place is prepared
for getting out the beans. They hop
ten feet or more, and this distance
all round the dry pods, must be clear
to sweep with a broom. The dirt and
chaf are removed by common wind
mill or tanning mill.
The cultivation is the same as for
corn. About the first of August, or a
little before the beans begin to ripen,
the field should be gone over every
week till frost. With a steady horse
or mule, children can do all the work
of gathering the crop. A bushel of
beans make about six quarts of oil.
We learn from the Rstrdl World that
R. B. Brown & Co., st. Louis, are large
manufacturers of castor oil, and will
doubtless furnish seed to plant if de-
sired.
In drying pods for the separation of
the beans, they should lie loose on the
ground, be often turned over, and not
too thick for the air to circulate freely,
as in curing clover to obtain seed.
Castor beans have been successfully
raised in Missouri and Southern Hi
nOis for over thirty years. This bean
is often seen growing in Southern gar
dens. Its cake makes a valuable fer
tilizer. Pure castor oil burns well in a
lamp, and never turns to gas and ex-
plodes.

RAISING HORsEs IN TEXAS.

h. H. McLane, of Bexar county,
Texas, writes to the Country Gentle
man: my crop of colts this year num-
Der Us head, with a better average
than formerly as to size, form, ETC.,
showing an improvement rather than
degeneracy on the methods of subsist-
ence, demonstrating that with full
feeding the native grasses alone are
sufficient, as with my enclosures OF
5000 acres L have managed 50 far to
keep an ample supply Of grass for my
whole stock Of horses"
This farmer allows five acres to the
horse and seven to each head of cattle.

LOCAL STOCKS.
FINANCIAL.

There is no change in money matters,
and excepting the regular routine business
of the banks but little is doing. When the
banks loan ii is at the rae Of ten per cent.
per annum. Brokers loan at one per cent.
per month, while individual notes ara dis
counted at about three per cent. PEI month.
Exchange on New York Is taken by the
banks at I off and is sold by them at
81 per thousand premium.
Gold stood in New York most Of the day
at 11l3 but finally closed at l1ls. For the
small lots offered here dealers pay 10,
while they ask TIA. Silver is taken at l02
for halves and quarters.
Tennessee bonds made decline yester-
day, closing in New York a. 7Sd79 and at
$3.50. There is nothing doing in them
in this market, though they are held at full
rates.
Our local securities continue dull and
we seldom hear of any transactions. For
quotations we refer TO those given by the
Nashville Savings Company, corner Union
and College streets.

A wONDER-srRUCk CHINAnAN.


While the gale was at Its height nobby-
looking Chinaman was walking behind a
young lady dressed in the extreme agony
of fashion, when a sudden gust of wind
blew the Celestial's tail forward and wrap
ped the end of it around the lady's neck.
Being frightened, she grabbed the end of
the queue to snatch it away, but pulled
the wrong direction. The Chinaman also
made grab to recover his property, but he
got hold Of one Of those long curls, and
when ne took pull at it the whole of the
lady's top hair, hat and all, came of. II
ever you saw a Chinaman astOnished, it
was that one.
