Informed us that "The New Era" had
a predecessor in the form Of the "Ord-

for a period Of about eight or mir Q
months during the year 1896, and
with Mr.. Palmer as editor. He en-
joyed the work. so he says, but the
"pickin" was rather "skeerce" about
that time, and he removed to other
parts. Judging from his prosperous
appearance, the world has been good

longing to assume again the respon-
sibilities of keeping the wolf from the
door while running a country weekly.

of plant industry if the products are

among number of plants recently re
ported upon is CaScara sagrada. lDr
True Of the bureau mentioned says
that the cultivation of the Cascara
sagrada tree nihamnus purShianusD

about two years The tree producing
this useful bark. known as Cascara sa-
grada, is IA native of the upper Pacific
coast region. where ii chooses moist

ally small tree grows readily from seed
sown in rich wood soil and makes II
fair growth the first year. 1t is under
observation both at Washington and at
Ebenezcr. s. {. In both places 1t seems
thus far Ia do well. Professor I. =.
Sargent of Harvard university states
that at the Arnold nrboretum. near
Boston, the tree maintains an existence
for some years after transplanting. but
eventually dies. so far both the seed
llngs grown ut Washington and the
transplanted trees sent In from the Pa
clfic coast have made Il good growth
and look well. 1t Is very desirable that
the cultivation Of this tree on an exper
mental scale should be taken up in the
country to which ii IL native. The de
mand for this bark Is great not only In
America. but to an increasing degree
In foreign lands, and since the amount
of available material whcrcwlth to
