Raffia is the name of a palm which fur- 
nishes a staple article of commerce 
ealled raffia fibre. It is used by the na- 
tives for making cloths called silk lambas 
and rebannas. which bring fancy prices | 
in Europe and America. While it has 
been used to some extent in America in 
the manufacture of hats, its principal use 
is for tying vines, flowers, asparagus and 
celery bunches and for grafting. It is 
as soft as silk, and not affected by moist- 
ure or change in temperatcre so as to 
risk cutting or wounding the most deli- 
cate tissues, and it does not break or 
ravel when folded or knotted. These 
qualities bring it into general use. %4

ber growers in this vicinity with satis- 
factory results. We have had opportun- 
ity to have a thorough test made of our

found it to be the best insecticide for 
henneries, under setting hens, etc.; we 
have had it tested by a number of poultry 
men, who pronounce it to be the best 
agent against poultry vermin. 10c. per

tion. 
Tobacco Stems.—Next to our fine To- 
bacco Dust the stems are also extensive- 
ly used as an insecticide by thoroughly 
boiling them down to a strong decoction, 
thus extracting all the strength from 
them, using the liquid for spraying. The 
stems are also strewn around the plants, 
permitting the rain and sun to strike 
them, which causes a kind of suffocat- 
ing steam to emanate from them, Kkill- 
ing all insects infecting the plant. Price, 
10c. per pound; packed in oat sacks at 
$2.50 per sack.
