pendent upon momentum, and It, will start from 
a dead set, like an ox team. The boiler and 
driving gear are much iike those of a railway 
engine; most ol the weigh! rests upon two 
wrought Iron wheels, five feet in diameter, with 
a tire ton inches wide; two forward wheels take 
enough of the weight to be used in steering. 
The water tank and coal box are attached to the 
axle of the driving wheels; here the driver 
stands, and with his left hand ninnages the start¬ 
ing bar, and with his right the steering tiller, us 
a pilot, would steer a vessel. It Is very economi¬

KURAL NOTES AND QUERIES, 
Court noting Editor and Proprietor 
Sericulture in California,— Silk production in 
California scorns to drag. It don't thrive. The 
Siinfn Clara Agriculturist says it has given less 
practical satisfaction and poorer grand results 
than almost any other industry undertaken on 
tho Pacific Const; that there has been “more 
speculation than tvork and blowing than atten¬ 
tion to business." The experience of the past 
three years seems to indicate that the produc¬ 
tion of eggs for the European market cannot be 
relied upon to pay, and that the production of 
silk must pay if any feature of sericulture ever 
does pay. Evidently there arc serious obstacles 
in the way of signal success in sericulture in 
California.

peaches were received; tho day before one hun¬ 
dred and ninety-eight ears, and (wo hundred 
ears would be received the next day. Every 
basket marketed was running the producer in 
debt. Each basket should bring from £1 to 
£1.25 to leuvo the producer any margin, The 
railways take from twenty-five to thirty cents 
per basket; add the cartage and then give tho 
commission dealer twenty-live cents on a pack¬ 
age, which he is sure to get, and tln-re is not 
much chance for growing rich at $1 per basket. 
And yet up-town people are obliged to pay their

Farmers' Hoard of Trade.—A correspondent of 
the Rural New-Yorker writes:—“Sometime 
Inst year, I think, you published sundry articles 
recommending the establishment of Farmers' 
Hoards of Trade, at which tho products of a lo¬ 
cality should be marketed. Have any such been 
established ? If so, what is Hie result to the pro* 
ducer?" We reply that wo do not know that 
any have been established for Hie imu kcling of 
rtilscidlaueniis produce; but we do know that 
several such organizations have beeu effect¬ 
ed (and our columns have duly recorded the 
same) for the purpose of Hie salo of dairy 
products. So far as wo are informed, these 
have operated satisfactorily, attracting there¬ 
to buyers, who have to deal direct with 
ilie producer. The producer Iieiifg well post- 
cd as to the comliiion of the market, (as all 
may be with i|ie present facilities for obtaining 
information), there is liitlo chance for unfair 
dealing. There is no risk run hy allowing one's 
products to go nut of his own hands. If con¬ 
signed to a Gum mission dealer in this city, it may 
happen that the consignment is put upon the 
market at the wrong lime and loss occur; or it 
may be delayed or destroyed upon the railway, 
and 1 hereby loss result; or it may get into the 
hands of nil incompetent or unscrupulous Com¬ 
mission merchant aud all the profits bo thereby 
consumed. 
But with local Boards of Trade no such risks 
arc run. The buyer has to take them. He is 
posted as to the best means and modes of trans¬ 
portation. He lias ageuls or partners in the city 
who can, by telegraph, direct him when to buy 
and when to slop buying. He runs less risk 
than the producer does who blindly consigns. 
At home the product can be taken cure ol if it 
is not sold; but if consigned the commission 
merchant may have no facilities for storing, if 
it is wise to do so, nnd is compelled to throw it 
ou tho market, and take what he can got for it. 
There is every possible argument in favor of re¬ 
versing the whole market system, and compell¬ 
ing those who supply the consuming markets to 
buy direct of the producer at his own home. It 
will greatly simplify trade, secure more equita¬ 
ble prices to both parties, and reduce the com¬ 
plexity and perplexity of business through com¬ 
mission merchants to a reliable trade of direct 
buying and selling. We see no good reason why 
local Boards of 'Trade of Fruit Growers, Dairy¬ 
men, Wool Growers, Hop Growers, Grain Pro¬ 
ducers, Stock Feeders, &c., &o., should not be 
found profitable in the center of all producing 
localities. And we believe they will be so or¬ 
ganized. We have no doubt of it. The relations 
ot producers to consumers must result in such | 
organizations,

layer raisins sold at four dollars forty-one cents 
per box in tills market. In September following 
they were selling at three dollars seventy-live 
cents, nnd for a long time were held at above 
three dollars. These high prices induced heavy 
shipments, and consequently the receipts during 
the winter and spring months were larger than 
were known before, and far iu excess ot the 
consumption. The crop was estimated at one 
und a half millions of boxes, of which nearly 
one million were shipped to this port. England 
imports only tho finest quality, known as Lon¬ 
don layers. France and Germany took scarcely 
any, on account ol the war, hence the only mar¬ 
ket open for layers was this country, to which 
market they wore rushed in overwhelming 
quantities. Prices have declined, until now they 
are selling at two dollars thirty-five cents to two 
dollars forty cents a box—at least fifty cents 
(gold) less per box than they can be bought for 
in Malaga und laid down here. The low prices 
prevailing since January Inst have greatly in¬ 
creased the consumption, but still larger stocks 
arc held by the importers. It is not probable 
that any mure a III be imported until the new 
crop is ready in October. A great deal of money 
has been lost by holders during the past season, 
who hereafter will be more careful. After the 
present stocks are,reduced within manageable 
limits, it is probable that prices will advance to 
a paying figure, or about three dollars per box,"
