Chickens as Fertilizers.

In the last agricultural report for
this State, saysthe New England Far
naer, we have the testimony Of Mr..
Kinney, Of Worcester, that from
seventy-five hens he made in one
year $3.50 worth of American guano.
His main object in keeping hens was
for the purpose of dressing his land.
Formerly he bought many cords OF
manure to dress two acres of land.
He now cultivates eleven acres with
out buying cents worth OF manure !;
he keeps his hens confined the year
round he is very careful to give
them clean, wholesome TODD, and to
keep their house clean and sweet.
The floor is covered with three or
four inches Of gravel, and the drop
pings carefully and frequently re-
moved, and kept dry. At the end
OF the year, he had $50 bushels OF
droppings, making about one ton in
weight, which he pulverized and
mixed with three and one>half tons
OF poor loan and a little plaster of
Paris. He then had tour and one.
half tons of guano, which he testifies
is better than any imported article
he has tried. He sows it oA the
ground, uses it in solid or liquid
form, in the hill, and everywhere it
Is success. The experience OF Mr..
Kinney is certainly worthy OF
thought. If the excrements of birds
OH the coasts Of Africa and South
aAmerlca are of sufficient value to
import to this country, we cannot
see why we may not use with profit
the droppings OF fowls raised i'll our
own land.
Hens properly ted and cared for
will return 100 per cent. profit above
their cost Of keeping in eggs alone,

Japanese Gardens.


j. Douglas, in Gardeners Chronicle.
Xhe love of flowers, shrubs, and
trees, is widely spread in Japan;
even in the busy commercial quar-
tiers of the large towns almost every
house has its garden spot with its
tiny dwarf shrubs. These dwarf
shrubs and trees probably owe their
origin to the narrow limits OF space,
and their production is carried on to
such a ridiculous degree that
Dutch merchant was shown a box
three inches deep, and with square
inch of surface, in which a Bamboo,
a Fir, and Plum tree, the latter In
full blnom. were growing and thriv-
ing. The price asked tor this botan-
ical curiosity was about $500. The
method of dwarfing is by checking
the calculation of the sap, cramplng
the extension of the branches, chill
lug the roots in fiat porous pots,
which are kept constantly cold and
wet Many dwarf plants have
striped or variegated leaves, and the
production of such varieties, both
dwarted and in the natural size, is a
tavorite hobby with japanese gar
deners. In the portions OF the gar
den Immediately surrounding the
house no tree or shrub is allowed to
retain is natural size, but within one
sees fans, ships under full sail, round
tables, candelabra, large crescents
and stiff rectangular walls. A soft
velvet like turf covers the ground,
and the clean gravel paths are Dor
dered with gay stones, dwarf trees,
and flower vases. From the ponds,
i'll which gold fish swim, and from
the artificial rivulets rise messy little
rocks, to which tiny bridges OF every
conceivable shape lead. Such spots
require too much care and attention
to ADMIT of wide extension, and So
they generally occupy but compar
atively small space in front OF the
mansion. High pruned hedges en-
close these green boudoirs, where
nature is disguised and curled as
conventional culture and the usage
OF "good society" demand. With
out these lie the larger part OF the
garden, where nature is lett more to
herself. Japanese gardens look
most beautiful toward the end OF

Some Valuable Fibres.

From the Trade Journal.
Tropical and semi-tropical America
abounds with plants producing;fhres
which, economically extracted, would
prove of vast benefit to the textile
industries. The bamboo, the plan
tain, and all of the agave and brom-
ella families are useful in many vary
ing ways, Take, tor instance, the
maguey, growing wild in New
Mexico, Mexico and Arizona. The
stalk is used in building, the leaves

the top is cut out before Towering,
leaving place in the stalk, it will
fill up IN one day with syrup which
can be used instead of molasses.
This, mixed with water, makes the
delightful beverage called by the
people, pulque. The juice makes
good vinegar, or if distilled, appears
as excellent brandy. The leaves,
stepped in boiling water, make
balsam for curing a number OF
diseases. The flower end is eaten
boiled as vegetable, or picked, and
the root, groSnd into a pulp and
mixed with water, answers the pur-
pose of soap, and will clean the most
delicate fabric. The bamboo fur
nishes building material and a sub
stitute for needle and thread. The
plantain is excellent paper stock.
The bromelia fibre, known under the
name OF pita, furnishes needles,
thread and rope to the natives, and
can be made into a cloth resembling
the finest linen. All these plants are
of the greatest commercial impor.

machine has been invented by Mr..
John II. Brown, of New York City,
designed to handle the tlbrous leaves
OF the agaves and bromelias. This
has been tested on the maguey,

A French explorer, 81. Lecart,
who is at present on the banks OF the
Niger, writes home that he has dis
covered new vine, which promises
TO be of great economical value. He
SAYS the fruit Of the vine is excellent
and abundant, its cultivation very easy,
it's roots tuberous and perennial
while It's branches are annual. 1t can
be cultivated as easily as the dahlia.
He himself had been eating the large
grapes of the vine for eight days, and
found them excellent, and suggests
that it's culture ought to be attempted
in all vine growing countries, as a
possible remedy against the phyllox-
era. He is sending seeds Tor expert

Silk Growing and Manufacturing.


From the Trade Journal
This branch is industry is just now
attracting large amount OF atten-
ton throughout the country, and es-
peciallv in the South. 1t is branch
which has not received that fostering
care which it deserves. Where it has
been attempted in many parts OF the
country in times past it has some
times proved a failure; add this is
attributable /" many causes, some OF
which are uucongenial climate, un-
skilled labor and high wages. Lately
q movement has been made toward
the manufacturing of silk goods IN
New Orleans, and undoubtedly the
enterprise would have been III full
operation by tins but tor a lack OF
funds TO establish the business on a
firm basis.
1t is confidently believed by those
who are thoroughly satisfied in re-
gard to the matter, that silk OF bet
ter quality can be manufactured in
that city than at any point in the
North. New Orleans contains among
its population large number OF
skilled wcrkmen from Europe, who
have sought a home there on account
o, the c0ngeniality OF the climate.
| This skilled labor can be engaged at
a low price. Buildings suitable tor
the purposes can be obtained free OF
rent, and The machinery can be placed
in them as cheaply as 1t could be at
any other point. The silk worm
,hrives wonderfully in that State
and the mulberry tree is easily cult
va1ed. Taking ali these things into
consideration, we do not see why
capital does lot take hold of the
| enterprise and push it steadily for
ward. There is no reason why the

Paper Barrels for Oil.
IRON an ErchGnge.-

From an ErchGRSe.s soDu
An agent of the Standard Oil Com
pany was in town a day or two since
10 enquire about the chances of OBJ
tanning for that great concern its
supply of barrels from the American
Paper Barrel Company
These paper barrels will probably
supersede the wooden ones tor oil
as for other things, but at present
the company is not quite prepared
10 put them on the market-though
some very perfect ones have been
made.
They can be furnished cheaper
than the oil company can make their
own wooden ones; and when it is
added that if the oil company could
obtain them at even half a cent
cheaper per barrel than their own
factories can now produce them the
saving would DE $3.50 per day, some
idea may be had OF the magnitude OF
the business.
We will present this idea in a
still more striking way. The COM
pany referred to makes no fewer
than $4,000 barrels day. Their
factories in Cleveland, Toledo, ETC.,
turn them out, ali iron bound and
blue painted, at a cost OF $l.35 per
barrel. OF course, machinery has to
do the work, which could not have
been done in the days of the old
hand labor cooperages.
One machine alone takes barrel
and fits it with iron hoops at the
rate of 1900 day. To attend to
these hopping machines, it takes a
man and two boys for each, to pro-
perly dispose etths barrels as fast
!. !. . go J
Evei the painting is done by ma
chinery.
1t the paper barrels can be fur
nished at the rate of Sl.3O each, the
saving TO the oil company will be
$4,000 week not counting Sundays.
