RAFFIA is the name of a palm which fur- 

 nishes a staple article of commerce called 

 raffia fibre, it is used by the natives for 

 making cloths called silk iambas ana reban- 

 nas, which bring fancy prices in Europe ana 

 America. While it has been usea to some 

 extent in America in the manufacture or nats, 

 its principal use is for tying vines, nowers, 

 asparagus and celery bunches ana tor graft- 

 ing. It is as soft as silk, and not attectea Dy 

 moisture or change in temperature so as to 

 risk cutting or wounding the most aeiicate 

 tissues, and it does not break or ravel wben 

 folded or knotted. These qualities bring it

 worms, which are so injurious to and de- 

 structive to cabbage and cauliflower plants, 

 and also for cucumbers and melons. 



Used very extensively by the largest cu- 

 cumber growers in this vicinity with satis- 

 factory results. The past season we had op- 

 portunity to have a thorough test made of 

 our Tobacco Dust on chicken lice, not only 

 through our own experience, that we have 

 found it to be the best insecticide for henner- 

 ies, under setting hens, etc : we have had it 

 tested by a number of poultry men, who pro- 

 nounced it to be the best agent against poultry 

 vermin. 10c per pound. If by mail, add 9c
