The injury done the ounce by over
fertilizing is greater than is liable 10

But very little honey is consumed until

will buy taste of new honey and there
they stop, and are satisfied, until the

PiDre or the willow Herb.

n most excellent fibre, and specimens
have been tested by being spun and
woven successfully. A society i'm st.
Petersburg has petitioned the Car for
assistance by setting aside some State
lands upon which to- cultivate the plants
for experimental purposes. II is thought
that the fibre from the willow herb may
be utilized in the place of cotton, and as
the larger proportion Of the different
species are indigenous to cold climates,
the discovery may be of considerable
Importance TO such countries as Russia
The most common European species of
