\ magnificent display Of opals has
been sent by Austria to the Philadcl.
phia exhibition. The opals come from
the government mines in TIE Carpa.
THAN mountains, which extend from
six t. eight miles, aud are one thou
sand feet at their greatest depth four
hundred men are employed in these
mines, which have been worked for
five centuries. The rough opals are
shown from their growth IN crystal
form TIL their decay; but the gems Of
the collection are the "kohlnoor of
opaly"--the largest known, and weigh
ing six hundred and two kargts-and
two exquisite stones, engraved Us
cameo likenesses of the emperor and
empress. These portraits were done
by AN Austrian artist IN two years,

Information TO Tobacco Planters

1t is well known what large quanti-
ties of wood aud valuable timber are
consumed in the usual way of prepar-
ing plant-bed, and how laborious and
trying TO the physical strength Of the
hands is the work required. Now, here
is simple, cheap ard quick mode Of
accomplishing this formerly very ex
pensive, laborious and wasteful, but
necessary work. Substitute kerosene OF
for wood--one gallon TO the one hun

animation it was found that the bed
was so thoroughly burned that the
Doctor sowed his seed and had an
abundance Of plants, not suffering from
the fly.
If this information is correct, and
we hope the Doctor will let us hear
from him, it is hardly possible to est.
mate the value Of the discovery To iar-
mers Of this country. 1t takes by the
old method thirty cords of wood to
burn bed of 1000 square yards prop
erly. Omilting the value Of the wood,
il costs the farmer fifty cents a cord to
have it cut, or slj tor the lot. Should
the oil prove practicable, ten gallons
will suffice for the bed. by co oper-
ating in the grange the oil can be
bought for II cts. gallon. So that
the fuel required for a bed Of 1000
yards will cost only 81. 40, besides the
economy in labor and wood. In add.
ton, it is probable that the scent of
the oil left in the ground will keep of
destructive insects, while the fire will
have extracted those properties which
are destructive to plant life.
1t is possible our trucking friends
may be able to make something out of
this in heating their fields for their
early vegetables, and thus give them
that stimulus guanos are supposed to
give, and destroy the destructive worms
aud insects which inirst their field. -
