Jute experiments will be carried far
enough this year to settle the question
whether it eau ever be made profitable
crop in California. Textile crops have
never assumed much prominence there.
Not enough fax is raised to keep single
oil mill in operation. Aud no hemp
worthy Of mention has yet been grown.
Different fields vary much from each
other in their honey.yieldiug flowers ;
varying from an abundant honey-harvest
to almost utter barrenness and sterility.
Every field is limited in its production Of
honey. The honey bees can manufact.
ure no honey; they only gather that
produced by the flowers, or other means
within their range.
The farmers of Kentucky are falling
into the army Of reformation with an
earnestness that even astonishes the ear.
lies, friends Of the Grange movement.
The growth Of the order has been aston
ishing. During the month of Decem-
Der last, there were AL Oranges or
ganized in the United States with a
membership of POS. 900, and the greater
portion Of these were in the South.
The leading butter makers in Califor-
mia are now packing butter, and holding
il for better prices. When the pasture.
fail, the prices Of butter advance, and
picked butter is then brought forward,
much Of it is 50 fresh that few can tell
the difference between it and fresh but.
ter. More than usual attention is paid to
production Of cheese in that State this
year. The owners Of large dairies have
nearly all the advantage Of the factory
system. But, aside from these, the fac.
tory plan has not prevailed there. East
ern cheese is now found in the local mar.
kets, and still commands top prices.
The Colorado potato bug is making
havoc Of the potato crop, and if not ex-
terminated will soon devour any crop.
There is an enemy. however. just. now
making its appearance. in the form of a
small scarlet insect which devours the
egg of the potato bug, and if farmers
will not destroy this little friend of theirs
surprising it to be depredator also, it
may prove to be the exterminator of the
pest. Paris green. pound, mixed with
10 pounds of flour or plaster Parisi and
sprinkled when the dew is on the plants,
is said to be a sure exterminator. Great
care should be had in using the Paris
green, as il is a deadly poison.
The Changers throughout this section
are multiplying very rapidly. We have
watched with interest their steady growth
and progress, and have only feared that
they would abandon the fundamental
principles that underlie their organiza-
tion and become engaged in outside mat
tiers that could but result to their detri-
ment. But We are convinced that here
in Kentucky at least they have resolved
to keep step alone to the music as played
by their own minstrelsy, and will east
aside all political issues, and give the
force Of their own numbers and correct
creed to their legitimate undertakings.
II such is the case we are with them in
feeling and spirit, and with them God
speed. The farming community have
too long been the "hewcrs Of wood and
drawers af water" to the monopolists, the
professional men and the politicians and
we incline To the belief that their door
of membership should be securely tiled
against every person who is not practi-
cally "liller Of the SOIL" BY avoiding
prescription. and watching the interests
of their own business, eschewing all po-
litical atiliation, the Patrons Of Hus-
bandry will be respected at home and
abroad, and secure for them that favor
and consideration both in financial and
political affairs they have so deservedly
been entitled to receive since the exist
ence of the government itself Oreas.

The Legislature made a great mistake
in preparing the charter of the Cincin-
