Hut one day, after digging near this hole, wo noticed that our-faenltby 'vigorous vino was wilting as if it had been prilled tip by the roots and exposed to a hot sun. Unablo to acconnt for this strango circumstance, and suspecting somo new enemy, we dug it up, carefully fol lowing up all tho roots to their extremities. To our snrpriso, however, there was only one root of any consequence, and this led to tho aforesaid hole. Following it 'up, Wo camo to.whero wo had cut it, nnd thcro tak ing up th severed end, and following that we found that tho pit of bones was ono mass of roots. It was evident, thcrcforo that when first set out one of tho roots had pushed off in tho direction of tho bones, nnd on reaching them had found such supply pt nutriment that It aion; was competent to carry to tho vino all tho nutriment it wanted. Tlio other roots thcrcforo dwindled nwny, or at least, mado but a trilling. growth, and tho vine, depend ing wholly npon tho singlo root just described, when it won cut off. Wo may add that tho root was almost baro of fibrils, or brandies, in its courso from the vines to the lioncs, but onco thcro it divided and branched in every direction, running into tho interior of the hollow bones, and clasping both tho internal and external surface with n perfect network of fibrils. To us it showed levcral points: llones arc evidently ono of tlio lost manures for the vine, and a wo wjsh them to last for several years they need not bo broken up. As it is well to havo tho roots f tho vino spread over a comidcrablo space, bones or other very rich inanuro should not bo placed in holes, but distributed through tho soil. JCoimtry UenMcmnn. r The World' jOo ffoo Production. Tho four great cofToo countries of tho woild aro Ilraril, Java, Sumatra nnd Ceylon. Tho data and figure for 1870 show that llroril itself has produced nn extraordinary quantity of beans. Hitherto, 230,000 tons havo been cousidered M a good yearly llgure for 'Brazil; lost year tho export alono amounted to 273, 000 tons. Uut tho consumption of coffoo in tho country J biolfrtow .amounts io 00,000 tons, raising tho total yearly products of Ilraril to 333,000 tons. Fortunately for tho planters in other parts of tho world, coffee has grown into a necessity in tho United States, and, thanks to this, its prico luur jriscn. Although tho soityf llrar.il, especially for coffee culture, is very1 extensive, yot tho difllculty of ob taining labor daily Women greater, nnd this renders it doubtful whether tho above figuro can bo much exceeded. Tho crop in Java and Sumatra was estimated at 04,000 tons for exportt tho consumption ot tliu inhabitants, although tho population is ilouhlo that of lira ril, is not halt of that of tho latter country. Tho production in Ceylon, though greater than that of 1878, shows a falling off when compared with former ycarsi thcro were in all 4I,'J00 tons exported from tho island, tho na tive consumption lieing very small.

Albany Journal. How U Xakt) Htas Lay. A correspondent informs us that, wliile on a visit in the fall to a Mead, he was surprised to so th number of egg ho daily obtained. He had but sixteen hens, and the product per diem averaged thirteen eggs. He was in the habit of giving on every alternate .lay a tea spoonful and quarter of cayenne pepper, mix ed with soft food; took car each hu obtained her share. The experiment ot omitting the pepper was tried, when it was found tliat the number of emn was reduced each trial from five to six dauy. Our correspoudeut believe that tho moderate use of this stimulant not only increase the number of eggs, but effec tually wards off disease to which chickcus are subject, (UcnnanWwu Telegraph, Bwls Dairymen in California.
