Peppermint Culture.

Most ofthe peppermint oil produced
In this country comes from Wayne and
adjoining counties of N. Y. State.
Thore are about three thousand acres
devoted to tho cultivation of tho pep
permint plant in the region named, and
the annual product Is OF far from fifty
thousand pounds Of oil. The plants are
set out in the spring and givea very
Thorough and clean cultivation. The
harvest begins in August. After the
mint is mown it is allowed to wilt from
eight to ten hours in the sun, then raked
up and placed in cocks, where it must
not BIO left for moro than day or two,
else it will heat and spoil, but should
go to the still while fresh and but
slightly withered. The stills consist
of wooden tubs strongly hooped, and
into these the stems and leaves are
packed by trcading with the feet.
When tho tubs arc filled the covers,
made steam-tight, are put on and fas-
tened with clamps. A steam-pipe con-
meets tho lower part of the tub with a
steam boiler. Another pipe come cts
the top OF the tub with tho condcnsing-
worm. When tho steam is introduced
from tho boiler it permeates tho con-
tents of tho tub and escapes through
the pipe connecting with tho worm,
and at pressure of about forty pounds
tho oil is volatilized and mixed with
tho steam, then carried through the
pipe to the worm, where it is con-
densed and the mixed water and oil
discharged into receiver. The oil
being lighter than the water it rises to
the top and is readily removed. The
cost OF tho apparatus required for DIS
tilling the peppermint oil will depend
very much upon its capacity, and may
cost from five hundred up to many
thousands of dollars. i American Agri-

Removing Surplus Flesh.

One of the handsomest men in town,
a prominent officer of the Louisville &
Nashville railr DAD, told reporter of a
remedy for reducing flesh. which, he
says, is really wonderful. 1t is the
same that Bismarck, the German chan
cellor, has subjected himself to, and
from which his avoirdupois was de-
creased some sixty pounds. The first
thing one must do upon rising in the
morning, my friend says, is to drink a
goblettul OF cool, not cold water. In a
quarter of an hour repeat it, and just
before breakfast drink the third glass.
When you first try this you will feel
as if whole watermelon has been dis
posed of. buc-a1trr a morning or two
this "swelled'' feeling will have disap-
pered. Continue this water course Tor
several weeks and your surplus flesh
will be gone, and tho fear of bursting
vest buttons over. l am sure it is a
great remedy, and recommend it to my
friends who are afflicted with obesity.
Tho effe ct that this stomach bath has
had up1n my informant is surprising.
