5n justice to the majority of our sub¬ 
scribers, who have been readers for many 
years, articles and illustrations are sel¬ 
dom repeated, as those who desire In¬ 
formation on a particular subject can 
cheaply obtain one or more of tlie back 
numbers containing what is wanted. 
Hack numbers of tlie “American Agri¬ 
culturist,” containing articles referred to 
in the “Basket” or elsewhere, can al¬ 
ways be supplied and sent post-paid fop 
15 cts. each, or $1.50 per volume. 
Bound Copies of volume 37, and of every pre¬ 
vious volume back to Yol. XVI. (1857), neatly bound, with 
gilt backs, Index, etc., are supplied at $2 each (or $2.30 
if to be sent by mail). See Publishers’ Notes,2d cover page. 
Clubs can at any time be increased by remitting for 
each addition, the price paid by the original members; 
or a small club may be made a larger one at reduced rates, 
thus: One having sent 6 subscribers and $7, may after¬ 
wards send 4 names more and $3, making 10 subscribers 
for $10.00; and so for the various other club rates. 
Terms to New South Wales, New Zea¬ 
land, Australia, Africa, etc.— To several in¬ 
quirers. Under the latest revision of the Postal Union 
Regulations tlie price of the American Agriculturist , 
(cither English or German edition), including postage 
prepaid through, will be covered by 7 shillings sterling 
per annum. This applies to the above countries, and to 
all others embraced in the Genera] Postal Union. The 
simplest mode of remittance is by Postal Money Orders, 
payable in London, to the order of Orange Judd Com¬ 
pany. These can be readily castled in N. Y. City at a 
slight discount, which the publishers will cheerfully pay. 
For Club rates, (postage included), see our second cover 
page, and reckon 22 cents to tlie shilling sterling. 
Breaking Flax and Hemp.— One great ob¬ 
stacle to the general cultivation of fibre-yielding plants 
has been the lack of a machine which would allow the 
grower to separate his own fibre and prepare it for mar¬ 
ket. From what we hear of the machine made by the 
American Vegetable Machine Fibre Co., we have reason 
to think that its production is as a long step towards 
this important end. 
Wanainaker and the Mails. — Every one 
who has been in Philadelphia knows of Wanamaker, 
and nearly every one who has not been there has heard 
of his immense warehouses filled with every variety of 
dress goods for men, womon, and children, furnishing 
goods of all kinds, travellers' outfits and the like. He 
has now a regularly organized Mail Department by 
which those who cannot go to Wanamaker can have him— 
or rather his goods—come to them. 
Bisulphide of Carbon. —This is a remarkable 
liquid, found by the union of two solids, Sulphur and 
Carbon. At our first acquaintance with it, the price, as a 
chemical, was two or three dollars an ounce. Its wide use 
in the arts has caused it to be produced cheaply, and 
now it sells, wholesale, for about 30 cents per pound. It 
has a use in agriculture, being employed in France to 
kill rabbits, and it is proposed to use it in California for 
the destruction of squirrels. Pieces of brick or similarly 
porous substance are dipped in the liquid and placed in 
the holes, which are closed by earth. It evaporates 
rapidly, and its vapor is destructive to animal life. 
Horsford’s Bread Preparation.— When a 
new article at once steps into popularity it rarely hap¬ 
pens that it retains its position for a long term of years. 
When it does this, it is conclusive proof that the article 
itself lias intrinsic merits. The Bread Preparation of 
Prof. Ilorsford presents an instance of sustained and in¬ 
creasing popularity from the first, and this, in this in¬ 
stance, is plainly due to the fact that it is an article that 
met a general want. Everybody must have bread, but 
every one cannot have good yeast, and many, for a change 
at least, prefer bread made in some other way. The 
certainty with which bread is made light by the Hors- 
ford Preparation is a strong point in its favor, but a 
greater one is that its use introduces nothing into the 
system that does not belong there, and so fur as it has 
any effect, it increases the nutritive value of the bread.
