From the Pacific Rural Preai.
This ia undoubtedly one of the produclB ties.
tined to figure in the programme of diversified
farming ia California. Although romeaitention
has been given to this matter during the last
two years, it may slill be ranked among agri
cultural experiments. We have endeavored to
"draw out" those who are experimenting in the
culture of jute, and have them communicate
the ro-ultn through the Pbess. But veiy Utile
practical knowledge, it is evident, has yet been
secured, and those who possess that little are
quite uncommunicative on the subject. Judg-
ing from the extent and character of the inquiries
received by us concerning jute, and the diffi
culty in obtaining the desired information, we
are convincou tuat tne growtn 01 interest lu
the matter is increasing much faster than that
of the plant itself.
In Southern agriculture the subject occupies
precisely the same position as with us. The
farmers there are making the same efforts to
curtail the proportions of the cotton product,
that we are using to reduce those of the wheat
crop. Among the menus by which tbey hope
to effect this cuitailment, the cultivation of
jute figures conspicuously; more so than with
us. The Jute company of Now Orleans has
been in active operation for some time, and is
using every means to induce planters to sub
stitute, in a measure, this crop for that of cot
ton, and to place the material before tho manu
facturers of the country. The President of
this company a short time since sent to the
Department of Agriculture at Waxbington,
specimens of jute and its fabrics raised and
manufactured in Louisiana. They consisted
of jute filament, rolled, after cleaning ,by ma
chinery; jnto rope, crude as it comes from the
machine; nnd jute rope made of rotted jute.
Tne i'resKient staled mat me juto wus acknowl
edged to be CO percent, superior to the Indian
article. A planter, writing from North Caro
lina, says that the ground was prepared as for
cotton, and tho seed dropped twelve inches
apart; and, as the spring was a very wet one,
the seed lay dormant tor threo weeks. The
plant grew to n height of thirteeti feet, with
branches from five to seven feet long. Tho
land wns ploughed twice, nnd hoed once. It
was cut in Octobor and thrown into Mater,
where it remained to rot three weekHj the bark
was then easily stripped from bottom to top. A
specimen of the fibre was exhibited at the State
fair, nnd pronounced very fine by persons who
were fnniiliar with itH culture. Bot'om lauds
of North Carolina could be made, it is uffiriued,
to produce, by umnuiinp, as much as 3000
pounds per ucio. A planter inGeorgia, also,
who has suca eded well in an experiment in
raisin? jute, says that if five cent per pound
can be netted, mora can be made by raising jute
than cotton. He planted about Mny 1; tho
seed germinated freely, nud tlio plants grow
finely on rather roor hind, attaining a height
of over ten feet by September 19.
Tho attention of England is alroaely directed
to tho impetus glvon to jute culture, iu this
country. Although they declaro that there are
no indications that this flbro will bo raised in
the United Blatos to an extent that will jeopar
dize tho prosperity of the jute industry of
Bengal tho main eourco oi jute supply for
England the consideialion of thesubject has
Induced tbo Government iu India to appoint ft
commishiou to inquire into the culture, etc, of
the jute plaut. 'Ihey were evidently Incited to

was established by tlin commission, by n scries

which the fiber is grown. The results showed
that the jute of commerce is the produce of

It seerua most to nourian in a not, etauip at
mosphere, ith a heavy rainfall and rich allu
vial 1011. The season of sowing and growing
appear to be generally the tame as those for
the early rice crop of Bengal. The ofteuer aud
nioie thoroughly the land is plowed, and the
more manure, the better. The seed U sown
broadcast from the middle or end of March to
the beginning of Jaar, and the plant eat from
the middle of August to the middle of October,
and in tome of the districts earlier. The Cora
mlwlon direct prominent attention to the ex
treme earrUaaiMM of the cultivators in the ee
Itction of the seed. In moat Instances a cor
ner of the field, or a few stunted wayside
plant are left to produce It, not the lightest
attempt being made to select it; and if in these
circumstances a real defoliation of the plant
hsd tiken place, a fact which the commission
doubt, little wonder could hive been expressed.
Neither selection nor change of seed seems to
be resorted toj. and if the attention of the
Government isever directed to'Improving the
cultivation of this plant, its first step must be
a reform lu this fundamental point of good
husbandry. The acreage under juto in'the
great producing season of 1872 was 021,000.
The area is said to have been no more than
517,000 acres in 1873. The northern and east
ern districts may aleo be said to engross the
cultivation, showing a total area of 800,000
acres under the plant in 1S72, against 125,000
only in the rest of the Presidency. The sug
gestion of the improvement of the staple are
confined to the selection of the seed, to the
observance of a more careful rotation in crow
ing the crop, aud to the improvement of the
processes for cutting and steeping the fiber.
The influence of the cultivation on the condi
tion of the people appears to have been good.
The testimony is uniform that it has enriched
tho cultivators, while the deleterious effects of
the manufacture upon their health seems to be
very problematic As to an alleged deteriora
tion of the staple, the commission attribute
tlila belief to the fact that the high prices which
have prevailed of late years have stimulated the
production of large quantities of inferior or
badly-prepared jute. It is not that there is
less gooel jute produced than formerly, but
that a larger proportion of inferior fiber grown
on any and evoty soil has come into the mar
ket under the stimulus of prices; and that
when the quantity grown is largo the care de
voted to its preparation Is comparatively small.
The commission record their judgment that
there is nothing to show that there has been
any deterioration, in sc. in tho character of the
jute, or any general falling off in the quality of
tne. fiber. The local manufactures of the fiber
into cordage and twine, and into cunnv cloth.
nnd gunny bags, are desoribed in their report
at length; and the commission have shown that
it is used for paper-making in several districts.
How to Plant the Eucalyptus.
From the Pacific Itural Press.
Having recently received several letters re
questing information in regard to the cultiva
tion of tho eucalyptus, I avail myself of the
facility of telling nearly all I know about the
matter, through tbo Rural, Pbess, so that
every anxious inquirer may have access to the
same. Perhaps these remarks may induce
more than one of my correspondents to eugnge
in the matter, with other objects than mere
experiment for experiments have already es
tablished the propositions which are contained
in this pnper.
Plant your seed immediately, in a box 12
inches deep containing 8 inches of clean, rich
loam, by dropping the seeels on the surface
about an inch apart, and covering them with a
qnarler of an inch of saw dust, or by sifting
vegetable mold over them to a like depth. The
common method of placing the seed in 3 or 4
nch depth of soil, is objectionable, as the roots
soon penetrate to the bottom of the box, and
are bout off at right angles to the axis of the
plaut. This distortion prevents the trco from
haing such a firm hold in the soil, as it other
wise would. Hence so many eucalyptus trees
blow over after having a growth of 4 or 5 years.
Their germination may be facilitated by soak
ing them for 21 hours in a pint of warm water,
F during tha ilay time, until the seeds sprout.
r
When thoy are half an inch high, remove the
covering, nud glvo them sunshine. They will
grow more slowly, but the plauts will bo more
hardy nnd vigorous. When they are four in
ches high, they should be graduilly seasoned
to out door temperature, so that they may be
ready to transplant as soouas frosts disappear.
You will then have trees from 4 to 0 inches
high, growing In a depth of soil which will in
sure straight nnd vigorous roots.
I presume, now, that I am talking to a farm
er, who has from 100 to 500 acres of land;
who has been raising cattle, horses, hogs aud
sheep for 13 years pist; who has evernplauted
a forest tree on his premises; who has stripped
his cations of the few straggling oaks, which

These estimates are within bounds. On dry
hillsides, the growth will not be so rapid, and
f 50 per cent, be taken from the foregoing re
sults, there will still be left a wide margin for
profit. On the other band, on larger farms, a
much greater number of trees may be thus
cultivated. The outside capacity of 1C0 acres
will be 14,000 trees, yielding at the end of 13
years, 2,400 cords of wood. Any other kinds
of forest trees will prove remunerative if cul
tivated, but on account of the rapid growth of
the Ecalyptus and the density and durability
of its wood, it commends itself over other
kinds for immediate profits. But some farmers
must boar in mind one cardinal fact: That,
while Providence furnishes the material and
conditions for the healthy growth and develop
ment of trees, it does not engage in the culti
vation of the soil.

the following to the party requesting the in
formation, Editobs Fiiesj.
O. N. Haqadohn, Esq., Contra Costa, Dear
Sir: I noticed in the Rubal Pntss, of tho
10th instant, that you desired to purchase bees,
and enquiring the cost, etc. I have about ten
or twelve stands or hives that I will sell. My
stock Is of the Italian variety, and probably as
strong as any in the State. There has never
been any ditease among my bees, which is si
common in this State, and I have not lost a
hlvo by sickness or "foul brood." My hives
are now full of bees aud honey. My time be
ing occupied constantly I cannot attend to them
properly, consequently I will sell.
The price will depend on how many hives a
p rson wants. The time iu which they will
nay for tbem-elves depends on the amount of
feed there is in the vicinity where the bees are
kept, the handling, etc., and the price of honey.
But in a good locality they will pay a hundred
per cent, on the money invested the first season,
not takiug into account the increase, which
will always be large in a good season, if left to
"Warm naturally, especially if the hives are
strong and healthy which you start from. Any
information on the subject will be cheerfully
given by yours respectfully,

Communication Between Bees.
I was staying in the house of a gentleman
who is fond of trying experiments, and who
was a bee-keeper. Having read in some book
ou bees that the best and most humane way of
taking the honey without destroying the bees
was to immerse the hive for a few minutes in a
tub of osld water, when the bees being half
drowned, could not sting, while the honey was
uninjured,-since the water could not penetrate
the closely waxed cell?, be resolved on trying
the plan, I saw the experiment tried. The
bees, according to the recipe, were tished out
of the water after the hive had been immersed
a few minutes, and with those remaining in
the hive laid on a stive in the sun todrv. Brit.
by bad management, the experiment had been
tried too late in the day, and on the sun going
down they were trmoveel into- the kitohen, to
the great indignation of the cook, on whom
they revenged their sufferings as toon as the
warm rays of the fire, before which they were
placed, revived them. Aa she insisted on their
being taken away, they were put back into their
old hive, which had been dried, together with
a portion of their honey, and plaoed on a ahelf
of the apiary, on which were five or ix other
strong hives full of bees, and left for the night.
Early the next morning my friend went to look
at the hive on which he experimtnted the night
before, bnt, to his amassment, not only the
bees from that hive were gone, but the other
hives were also deserted not a bee remained
in any of them. . The half drowned bee most,
therefore, in sosse way or other, have made the
other bees understand the fate that awaited
them. London Spcteior,

Thb Codlino Moth. As to the moth ob
jection, a little explanation will suffice to silence
that. We often cultivate and raise ten thous
and of these things unwitttngly, by throwing
old comb about the apiaries in old empty hives,
boxes, shelves or tables, as the case may be,
not knowing that we are sowing the feeds of
destruction in our own apiaries. A few days
ago I saw on old box hive sitting in a small
apiary filled with old comb, and: remarked to
the proprietor that "he was raising a good crop
of worms" He replied, "No danger." I then
inquired how long it had been there? He
replied, "About twenty days." whereupon I
tore up the comb and exhibited to him about
half a bushel of worms, webs, cocoons, etc
Now the truth is, if old combs are kept away,
buried up, or melted into wax, we will have
nothing to fear f.om the moth particularly If
colonies ore kept strong.- Cor. Beekeepers

Honky should be allowed to stand for two
days after being extracted to allow all the
particles of srax to rise to the surface. This
should be skimmed off carefully, and the honey
drawn out from the bottom. Wax induces
crystallization, and buyers will not pay as
much for crystallized honey.

Grafting Grapes and Planting Locusts.
From Pacific Rural Press,
Editobs Pbess: We see by reading the
Press that communications are in order where
they pertain to something in which the people
are interested. Now we propose to offer a few
ideas on a subject that has been treated on be
fore; grafting the grape vine and planting lo
cust seed. Both of which have been recently
treated upon in the Pbksb. But we want some
thing practical and adapted to our present
needs. First, in grafting the grape vine of
large growth there is considerable labor re
quired at the best. Now we wish to do the
work in the fastest possible manner and have
it succeed. The two past years we have had a
little experience and tried different plans.
First we grafted large vines six years old, by
sawing off below the ground and then sawing
down in the top aud cutting out with a knife so
that the end of the graft may be made to fit
easily, therTput in and pound lightly so that it
will be firm, then paok damp earth around and
cover with loose soil about to the top of the
graft; or a little over will do no harm. Second,
we Fawed off as before, and slit with a chisel,
and packed with soil as before; and third, we
cut off with a broad thin chisel, made for the
purpose, all vines that would admit, but with
some vines the roots came out too close to the
top of the ground. The cutting elone by set
ting the chisel on one side with a little slant
downward and cut to the center, and tben cut
from the other side to meet in the same wav
and split in the center to insert the graft. This
method will seiver the vine some, but I could
see no difference about the starting. This
method being the quickest and easiest, would
recommend itself to many. Iu all cases large
vines should be opened with a wedge to allow
the graft to enter easily. The eoII should be
packed around the Mne in the last instance the
same as in the first.
As to the time of grafting there is some dif
ference of opinion, iu my experience the latest
set have elone the best. The first was done
when the buds began to start, and the last af
ter they had got out a number of inches, and
the last Bet have always staited first and done
best. I was in the vineyard of Mr. Cantilow
neasant vauey, near me, and he showed me
tome that were grafted after thev had made a
growth of afoot or more, and done by sawing
oil below the ground, splitting, and inserting a
small wedge, and leaving in on all large vines
to prevent to hard a pressure on the graft. Set
the bark near together and cover with loose
earth, lay the severed trunks bottom up over
the grafts to prevent the sun coming on too
warm. They had made a fine growth with
small per cent, of loss.
In grafting the grape vine, as in anything
else, much depenels on having the graft in good
condition. I think they should be cut some
time before the sap begins to start and kept
fresh in f aud or common soil, bit cot too damp.
Planting locut t seed is something not understood
very generally and many are diaappointed in
not having seed grow. My experience has
cost something and may possibly ba worth
something to others if given to the public
through the KuruL Pbess. Not long since an
article appeared in the Pbess stating that the
sera snouiu oe scaieieuannimmediutely planted.
Now that is not enough; it micht lead manv
into mistakes. I have planted a number of
times ami always seamed ttie seed befcre plant
ing and never hid but very few come up until
the last planting. The reason was the seeds
were not scalded enough. My last process was
as follows: Put scalding water on tho seed and
let stand until cold and repent and continue to
repeat until the seed swells to nearly three
limes its natural size. It will not be uniform,
and only a portion will swell at each scalding,
which should bo separated as far as possible, as
repeated scalding might injure it; but by no
means plaut nntil it has swelled, for but very
little if any of it will grow. In my last planting
I scalded tome of the seeds five or six times,
separating what I could conveniently and lot it
stand until all was ready, and planted in good
ground, the same as any other seed and about
the time when you would plant corn. Practice
this method, and my word for it it will come up
as easily as corn or beans.
The question of timber is getting to be one
of great importance to Sacramento valley, and
something must be done soon or we shall be
left out in the cold, as the timber is fast disap
pearing along the foot-hills and the groves of
the valley, and already exhorbitant prices are
beginning to be asked for firewood. Lhave
some planted In hedge row form, about two
feet apart, which has been growing the two
past years and is doing well, and promises soon
to make a stock fence, and with a few pickets
between will stop bogs, to siy nothing aboat
the firewocd which may be taked off without
injuring the fence. The beauty that it adds to
any place should be sufficient inducement to
plant trees tof some kind. M. Au.es.''

where Patents are obtainable.
No models are required in European coun
tries, but the drawings and specifications
should be prepared with thoroughness, by
able persons who are familiar with the re
quirements and changes of foreign patent
laws agents who are reliable and perma
nently established.
Our schedule prices for obtaining foreign pat
ents, in all cases, will always be as low, and
in some instances lower, than those of any
other responsible agency.
We can and do get foreign patents for inventors
in the Pacifio States from two to six months
(according to the location of the country

Home Counsel.
Our long experience In obtaining patents for

with the character of most of the inventions
already patented; hence we are frequently
able to save our patrons the cost of a fruitless
application by pointing them to thev gome
thing already covered by a patent. We are
always free to advise applicants of any
which will interfere with their obtaining a
patent.
We invite the acquaintance of all parties con
nected with inventions and patent right busi
ness, believing that the mutual conference of
legitimate business and professional men is
mutual gain. Parties in doubt in regard to
their rights as assignees of patents, or pur
chasers of patented articles, can often receive
advice of importance to them from a short
coll at our office.
Remittances of money, mode by individual in
ventors to the Government, sometimes mis
carry, and it has repeatedly happened that
applicants have not only lost their money
but their inventions also, from this cause and
consequent delay. We hold ourselves re
sponsible for all fees entrusted to our ogenoy.
The principal portion of the patent business of
this coast has been done, and is still being
done, through our agenoy. We ore familiar
with, and have full records, of all former
cases, and can more directly judge of the
value and patentability of inventions discov
ered here than any other agents.
Situated so remote from the seat of government,
delays are even more dangerous to the invent
ors of the Pacific Coast than to applicants in
the Eastern States. Valuable patents may be
lost by the extra time consumed in transmit
ting specifications from Eastern agencies back
to this coast for the signature of the inventor.
Confidential.
We take great pains to preserve secrecy in all
confidential matters, and applicants for pat
ents can rest assured that their communi
cations and business transactions will be held
strictly confidential by us. Circulars free.
Engravings.

for newspaper, book, circular and other
printed illustrations, and are'always ready to
