CRANBERRY CULTURE.

IL. w. Crane, secretary of tue New
Jersey Cranberry Gro owers' Association.
has published in New YORK paper, an
account OF the present condition as to
pro1ts and success in the culture OF this
crop, and the drawbacks which have
been experienced in recent years. He
states that many engaged in the busi.
ness without any adequate knowledge
OF the general principles Of cultivation,
in consequence OF successes being more
widely published than failures; and the
high prices paid for the berries, during
the war, Tor army supplies in some in
stances as high as S45 per barre J,
stimulated eagerneSs to enter the busi-
ness. Many of the best informed gro ~
ers, who five years ago thought they
thoroughly understood the culture and
management, would now feel incompc-
tent to offer much advice, Comnara-
lively little is positively known. Very
few who are most familiar with the
crop care at present TO extend their
acreage. Among the drawbacks is the
increase OF insects. The fruit Worm. the
nre worm, the span worm, the tIp worm
Ine Sfasshopper and the cricket, all at
tack 1T. Flosts sometimes do much
damage. But all these are comparative
~ lnslgulhcant, compared with the
scald, the most formidable and most per-
picking disease that growers have to
Conteud with. 1t mas been almost un-
known till within four or five years, 1t
has become developed to an alarming
extent. 1t is the roLting oil the berries

cases been entirely destroyed by 1t, and
thousands OF bushels have been ruined.

culture, have not resulted in a satlsfac-
tory cure-although much has been
learned in relation to its causes. Mr..
Crane takes a hopeful view OF the luture.
Improved management, rather than in
crease of acreage, will be adopted. Self
defence is driving those engaged in it to
a more careful study Of the whole sub
ject.

A HUMAN BoDY PETRIFIED.-The
Lake county Democrat publishes the
following: On the 23d of June last
j. L. Rastuer died of absccss of the
liver at Greene's Hotel. He was bur-
led in the Masonic cemetery, in a
wooden coffin, confined i'll the usual
outer case. On Thursday last
]. A. Campbell, an undertaken of San
Francisco, had the body taken up and
removed to San Francisco. The men
engaged in unearthing the body were
very much afraid that on reaching the
corpse the effluvia would be terrible.
The outer case, when reached, broke
through, it was SO rotten; but on
opening the coffin, the corpse was
found to be perfectly petrified, and re-
tanning, even to the whiskers and hair,

perfectly natural appearance. The
body was in such a condition as to
permit its being raised at the mead
and stood on its feet and handled as
one would statue. It was shipped
as freight. inclosed in a common
wooden box, as weighing, box includ-
ed. 200 pounds. At the time of his
death deceased weighed 40 pounds,
and as the box the body was shipped
in could not have weighed over sixty
pounds, the body seems to have lost
nothing in weight during its six
months burial.
