English Lavender Fields.

The rose gardens of France are celebra-
ted. Acres and acres of roses bloom in
them for the perfumer. Heliotrope, mig
nonette and other floral plants are also
found side by side with them in dense
masses. The air is heavy with almost
sickening fragrance, and for miles around
the breezes bear the sweet tidings that
they ahave flown DER the garden of Gul
in their bloom" But who has heard of
an English lavenderf eld2 Few, certain
ly, in this country. Within thirty miles
Of London these lavender fields have be-
come an extensive and recognized industry.
There is annually produced, in England
alone, sufficient oil from the plant to
manufacture 10000 gallons of spirits of
lavender, besides large quantity, the total
of which is unknown to be used in the
production Of other perfumes with more
pretentious names. This plant is at the
best when between three and seven years
Of age. The harvest time is the first week
Of August The flowers are then cut and
taken to the distillery, followed by an in
Vulnerable number Of bees, which insects
are especially fond Of them. Here the
essential oil is pressed out, and is ready to
be mixed with the proper Ingredients to
make lavender water.

Manufacture Of Isinglass.


One Of the most notable industries of
Russia depends upon the sturgeon, the
swimming bladder of which is manufactur-
ed into isinglass. The bladder is first
placed into water and left there for some
days, with frequent changes Of the water
and removal Of all fatty and bloody parti-
cles-the warmer the water the more rapid
the accomplishment of the operation. The
sbladders, on being finally removed, are cut
longitudinally into sheets which are ex-
posed to the sun and air, being laid out to
dry with the outer face turned down, upon
boards Of linden or bass wood.
The inner face is pure isinglass, which,
when well dried, can with care be remov-
ed from the external lamellem. The finer
sheets thus obtained are placed between
cloths to keep them from flies, and are
then subjected to heavy pressure, SO as
fatten them out and render them uniform,
and after this they are assorted and tied
up in packets. The packets composed Of
the isingIass Of the large sturgeon usually
contain from ten to fifteen sheets, and
weigh q pound and quarter and those
Of others contain twenty-five sheets, weigh
ing pound. Eighty Of these packages are
usually sewed up in a cloth bag, or inclos-
ed in sheet lead.

GTOCK FEEDERS, LOOK TO
~ YOUR INTEREST

am now manufacturing Feed Cutter for
fodder, hay or straw, that is superior to any
other cutter ever invented. 1t cuts faster and
brushes the fodder, putting the stalk into such
a condition that cattle will eat all up. The
fodderafter being cut passes through a crusher,
thus making the hard corn stalk as soft as the
blade; while oil other cutters leave the stalk
in short hard pieces, and the chewing of such
hard pieces BY your stock produces sore mouths
which, instead Of a benefit to your stock, is
an injury. l claim this machine to be superior
to all others. To satisfy yourselves, feeders
Of stock and farmers generally, are respectful

while the revision had not been altogether satisfactorily
prosecuted yet would not be well for tho Legislature
