A Bnhach Plantation. The work of gathering and drying the buhach blossoms Is in full blast at the buhach plantation. About 100 men are scattered through the fields picking the blossoms. As fast as they are picked they are towed away about two Inches deep In wooden- boxes, the boxes being two and one-half feet square. . Wagons are employed In hauling the boxes to the drying houe. Probably it Is called a drying house because it Is aiongIde of tho spot where the drying i done. Certainly Certain-ly no artificial heat Is needed at the buhach plantation to dry anything at this time of the year. The sun's rays come down within the Inclosure or big poplar tree with a force that makes it pleasant to stand from under. The trays are allowed to lie there, the blossoms being stirred up by a force of men until they, tho blossoms, are fairly cured. Afterward they are placed on a large platform about 60 feet square, where they remain until dry, and then lire sent to the reduction reduc-tion worts, where they are ground into dust. This is uone by men who are proof against sneezing, otherwise It could not budone at ail. Whether or not it makes flies and mosquitoes Eiieeze we don't know, but it is certainly the best preventative prevent-ative in ue to keep thoe in'ects at a distance. Ofcreot (Oaf.) Star.
