Mandarin or TangieI'ine !

In answer to a recent correspond,
ence relating to the Mandarin or Tan
gierine orange, its origin, etc, it APP
pears, from work published under
the support and patronage of the
French government, on the "Histo-
ry and Culture of the Orange" that
this variety originated in Mandarin
an island. off the north coast of Java
finding its way into China at an
early day. 1t was introduced into
Europe in 1928, and is now gener-
al tavorite in all the orange growing
districts in the world.
There is nothing to mark the dis
tinction of the so-called Tangierine
from the Mandarin, and it is undoubt-
eddy the same variety, to which this
name Tangierine has attached itself
in connection with its introduction
and cultivation at Tangiers, in Mo-
rocco.
The description given in the work
mentioned above-tree dwarfsh, II
feet being about the largest size.
Leaves small and acuminated; fruit
flattened on poles; thin skinned,
with very little adhesion to the pulp,
which is of a beautiful yellow and
divided into ten or eleven sections,
easily separated, answers perfectly to
that knownto us as the wlllow-leaved
Mandarin or Tangierine, as also to
the two varieties Tangierine and st.
Michaers Tangierine, sent out by Mr..
Thomas Rivers, of England, who has
cultivated the orange for thirty years
and enjoys an enviable reputation as
nurseryman and pomologist, con-
firms the supposition that Mandarin

White Tobacco.

In Kentucky, it appears, a new va
riety OF the staple of that state, has
made its appearance in crop of
"white tobacco" In letter to the
Mayville Bulletin, Geo. W. Barley,
tobacco planter, says, that this
white tobacco originated on his farm
on the Ohio river, three miles above
Augusta, KY, several years ago.
His account is, that it grew among
his tobacco, which was known as the
Little Burleigh," and sometimes
called Butcher Burleigh." While
growing, it was about three-fourths
white, with small portion of it, Of
the usual color of tobacco. Some of
the leaves we're entirely white, and
others were partially so. The stocks
and stems were all white.
Mr.. Barley says, that he does not
know from what cause the plants
first became white but he saved seed
Of the plants and planted the same.
They produced few plants that
were perfectly white in color, but he
did not save any Of the seed of them.
A few of the old seed were sown the
following year, and some white plants
came to maturity among the tobacco
raised. The seed was then saved and
sown, and from that time it has
spread, until now there is very little
of other tobacco grown in that dis.
trict. This is the story as told by
Mr.. Barley in the Bulletin.

DRYING THE GRAPES.
Their mode Of drying is in the sun
upon platforms. Drying by artificial
heat is not looked upon as a success.
One or two parties who have late
grapes finish up their crops in drying
rooms. The platforms are built up
on the sides of the hills, with an as
pect to receive the full benefit Of the
sun. If the ground is level, which IS
not often the case, they build,a back
side wall of masonry and fill in with
dirt. They dry wholly upon the
ground using no cement or anything
but the earth. The platforms are oil
vided into beds of about fifteen feet
wdie; between each two beds is a
path, and on the outside of them is
low wall of stone or brick about
ten inches high through the center
also is row of bricks; they are to
support the cover Of boards. The
beds are made so, that no rain can
get into them from the path.
The pitch or angle is from thirty to
forty-ive degrees, according to the
hill ; they must be steep enough to
carry off the water Sometimes
they are built upon level ground; they
then use canvass covers, stretched
over the ridge pole Sometimes cor
rugated iron is used, by having one
side of bed, say eight feet wide,
made one foot higher than the other.
Boards are mostly used upon the
platforms, where there is slope
enough to carry off water. They
are a little longer than the width Of
the beds, say 10 feet, by foot wide.
They are Tapped over each other
from bottom to top. The iron COW
ers are the best, and in the end, per-
haps, the cheapest.
Some people will be surprised, as I
| was, TO learn that they take no pre-
caution to keep the dust from the
grapes. They grow by the side OF
roads quite as dusty as any we have.
The platforms are not free from dust.
Still, it does not seem to adhere to
the raisin, but they say it preserves
the bloom.
in building platforms, I should be
governed by the locality. If upon
rolling land, where the inclination
necessary can be had without much
expense, l should build inclined plat
forms; but upon level land, where
stones for back and side walls are ex-
pensive, l would build a level floor
and cover with canvass or corrugated
iron.
II necessary to hurry up the drying
of the grapes, they are covered after
three days; but if there is no hurry,
the covers are not put on. BY fol-
lowing their method / believe we
can dry our grapes in the same time
that they do here-that is, fifteen days
have found grapes under the boards
to be quite warm in the morning, but
we must always remember that the
nights are always warmer than in
California.
Canvass covers do not hold the
heat as well as boards, and upon lev
ell platforms the grapes are from two
to three days longer in drying, but
are found to be quite convenient in
case of rain the men can work un.
der them. Corrugated iron covers
are much the best, and keep the heat
in.

AVERAGE YIELD.

The average yield is from one to
three. pounds OF grapes per vine up
on the hill and dry plain vineyards.
The irrigated vineyards upon the Ne
ia produce more, but as they are linn
tied, their product would not change
the result materially. This low aver
age will probably astonish some cul-
tivators, but it is fully as great as
! any / have yet seen, either in France
or Spain.
