BERMUDA ONIONS AT HoME.-The seed
of the Bermuda onion is all grown in the
Canary Islands, presumably Tenerille. No
other seed will give so early crop have
tried "sets' and seed from America by
the side of Teneriffe seed and found differ
ence in time of readiness for market of two
months in favor of Teneriffe 1t is unusual
for the American seedto bottom at all, form
ing instead "sculhons' Planters SOW the
seed quite thick in beds from September -
to October Is so as to have sets for early and
late crops. From the first sowing Of seeds
plants will be ready to transplant December
/, the transplanting season lasting until
February. The bulk of the ground is spad-
ed by hand, fertilized and made into beds,
when the plants are transplanted six inches
each way a bright Portuguese boy will set
out 5000 plants in a day. Ecrylit cultiva-
ton is necessary after this, only keeping free
from weeds without stirring the ground.
A few boxes are harvested in February
but the bulk is harvested in April and May,
the season lasting until June The boxes
are made of Stats and are supposed to hold
fifty pounds each. The market opened this
season at IS per box in New York, running
down to IS in early March, then as low
as $3.50. There is great profit in rails
ing the onion at the latter figure My little
boy of eight years on ten rods of land rails

for $53, netting him free of all cost, except
labor, $50. Over 100000 boxes were ship
ped last season to England, America and
West Indies, the bulk going to America. A
less amount will he shipped this year. Rus

The MUNGOOSE AS A RAT kILLER-The
introduction OF the mungoose into Jamaica
as u cure for the once formidable rat pest on
the sugar plantations is said to have
proved notable success. The sugar rat is
ga huge white bellied fellow, measuring ten
inches in length of body, his long tail add
ing ten inches more to his length. Formerly
the damage done to the sugar plantations
of the island by these rats amounted to
something like halfu million dollars a year,
rising to a quarter of the crop in sea-
sons of special ravages. About five years
ago the mungoose, whose zeal as Il snake
and rat killer is well known, was imported
from India. AS a result the plague Of rats
has been greatly diminished, with Il saving
in sugar of not less than twenty five tons of
sugar on each estate. There is also saved
the expense of rattage, formerly amounting

1t has been known for years that boraclc
acid and other compounds of boron were pow.
erful antlseptics, and they have been employed
to considerable extent as preservativc agents
Quite recently Prof. Barff, of England, an.
nOunced the discovery of greatly improved
antiseptic, formed by creating chemical
union between boracic acid and glycerine.
He names the new compound borate of glycer.
Inc, and declares that 1t will preserve for an
indefinite time everything we desire to secure
from destruction except, perhaps, the beauty
of youth This substance, the inventor de-
clares, has only to be dissolved in water and
poured over the substances to be kept He
expects to be able to supply the people of
Great Britain with all kinds OF tropical fruits
that have ripened on the trees where they
grew, with fresh salmon from California with
turbot from Italy, and oysters from Maryland
With this new compound he expects to revo,
lutlonize the trade in most kinds of food. Cat.
tie IN South America will no longer be slaugh.
tered for their hides and tallow. Their flesh
will be nearly as valuable as the beef produced
on the high priced land In England and Hol
land. 1t will be covered with dilute solu-
ton Of borate of glycerine and sent "to the
uttermost parts of the earth"

1T sounds like good deal TO say, but
once knew man who died and was buried on
the overland trail to California, and afterwards
made his appearance in the placer mines al
Prckly Pear City-Gnd it wasn't his ghost,
either, but himself in the flesh" This was
the reply which a well known resident OF
Helena, Montana made to a reporter who was
applying the reminescence extractor
"In the spring of 40" continued the citizen,
when the California gold excitement was at
its height, in company with large party, l
way the cholera broke out among us and sew
era died. Among other deaths was that of q
man named w. III. Clark, of Henry county,
Missouri We buried him near the point
where the Santa Fee trail crossed the Arkansas
river. We had no coffin, but wrapped HIM in
