VEGETABLE TRANSPORTATION.

AT the meeting of the Fruit grow
ers Association, recently held in
Gainesville, the question of transport
tation was thoroughly discussed, and
the conclusion arrived at that if bet
ter ventilated cars could not be had
ior the transportation of early yeget-
ables and fruits, very great loss would
be experienced by the growers of this
state. a committee was appointed
to visit and confer with the various
railroad and transportation compan-
les, and, ifpossible, secure better ven
tllatlon in the shipment of all fruits
and vegetables. This committee.
yesterday, visited Fernandina to con,
Ter with Captain Maxwell, of the
transit road. and were pleased to
ind the Captain fully alive to the in
terests which the committee repre-
scented, having already under con
struction two Montgomery refrioer-
ator cars, which will be on the road
IN few days. These are intended
as an experiment, and if practicable.
more will be furnished as early as
possible. Cars will also, by REQUEST
OF che committee, be furnished At
onceegiving ventilation, which will be
appreciated by vegetable growers
who have lately suffered by heat GEN
Grated in closed box cars. Captain
maxwell tavors and encourages fruit
tram and hopes to get the cooper
alton OF other roads. This is a move
IN the right direction, and if success
fully carried out will result in much
good to producers-.S,m and Press.

Silk Culture in the South.

The Nashville Anserica'a recently
had call from Mr.. S. Lowery, a col
ored man, formerly resident OF
Nashville, but now living near Hunts
vile, Ala. The interview had refer
ence to silk culture in the South, and
of Mr.. Lowery's success and proposed
future operations in this branch of
industry, the Anaericdn says:
Mr.. Lowery for the past four years,
with his family, has been engaged in
silk culture, and will this spring have
two acres laid out in the production
of the white mulberry, the food for
his silk worms. About three years
ago Lowery received his first lot of
eggs from an Englishman living in
Nashville. He and his family devoted
their attention to the study of silk
culture, and in year or two, with
practical experience, began to sue
coed iRthe undertaking The enter
prise succeeded so well that Lowery,
with the countenance Of leading citi-
zens of North Alabama, has deter
mined to establish an academy for
both sexes, their moral and intellect
ual advancement to be attended to,
while the culture of silk will be a.
leading feature of the institution
Lowery estimates the profit per acre
at $3.50 to 5000; with a continued
increase as they become more expe-
rienced. At present he has room
set aside for the worms, which he
keeps in small paper boxes. These
hatch out regularly on the 18th Of
April, and after feeding forty days,
to into chrysalis, and after
three days spinning the cocoon is
ready. .Lowery has with him several
samples, consisting Of the silk in the
different stages. The cocoon is Of the
shape and about the size of a pecan
nut, yellow in color. After soaking
in hot water, the raw silk readily
winds off in single strand. He had
some Of the silk that had been carded
and spun by an ordinary spinning
wheel. In a week or SO he leaves for
the North whe he will visit VI ash
ington, Philadelphia, New York and
Boston, with the object of securing an
fund for his academy.

coma, commonly called big-head in
the western States, a disease / would
like to know something about ? An
swel. First. Bone SPAWN can be
cured in all stages. Primary can be
cured by simple blister compound
of lard, one ounce; bin-iodide of mer-
curry, two drachms. Secondary by
a mild scarifcation of the enlarged
osseous deposit, and then applying
the former blister on the scarified
part. Purulent, by severely firing
the deposit, and sprinkling the sur
face with bi-chloride of mercury fine
ly powdered, which forms an intense
inflammation, and the said infiamma-
ton absorbs two-thirds of.the deposit
and destroys the entire lameness.
Big head Osteo Sarcomd). This
disease, commonly called big-head,
is an enlargement of the bony struc-
ture of the face, commencing from
the hollow beneath the eyes, and
running nearly to the junction of the
nostrils. The opinion is that it is
caused by the justification Of too
much corn when young, which pro
duces liberation of the roots of the
teeth, when they are not fully filled
or set. The convincing evidence of
this fact is that big-head is seldom
exhibited in any other part of the
country except in the States, more
especially in the western States, as
more corn is fed there. The symp-
toms are the enlargement of those
bones of the face that are of a soft,
spongy character, and if allowed to
proceed, breaks out in small holes,
and runs thick secretion. Treat
ment: Apply in the first stage an
ointment composed of strong mercu-
rial ointment, ounces iodine ONT
ment, ounces; mix. Apply twice
day, and give broken doses of cal
omel and tartar emetic, or iodine of
potash, in moderate doses, but never
the two together. This is thought
to be a radical cure, as there are
cases under observation daily that
have been cured by the same pro-
cess. Secondary. By Swinging the
holes with solution as follows: bro
mine. ounce; water, II pints, and
give Alternative treatment as above.
