In China, during the Bummer months, all kinds of vegetable refuse are mixed with turf, straw, grass, peat, weeds and earth, collected into heaps, and, when quite dry, set on fire. After several days of slow combustion, the entire mass is converted into a kind of black earth. This compost is only employed for the manuring of seed. When seed time arrives, one man makes holes in the ground, another follows with the seed, which he places in the holes, while a third adds this black earth. The young seed planted in this manner grows with such extraordinary vigour that it is thereby enabled to push its rootlets through the hard, solid soil, and to collect its mineral constituents, ' A novel experiment in agriculture is that of a Chicago genius who started up the Mississippi from New Orleans with two barges carrying 1000 hives of bees, and having a capacity fop as many more.
