I have already got out sixty-five hales, and am having six bales per day ginned at the Velasco Oil Mill's gin.

In | he first place, the wire from which he pins are made is examined l>y a naehino that scorns to scan every paricle of it, as though to detect any deect that might exist iu its substance. Theu it measures off a bit, just long :nough for one pin, and handa it over ;o another piece of mechanism that j lolds it against, a tile-wheel until it is i jointed. It is then passed on to an- j ahai- flh>.wheel where it is smoothed 1 unl finished; then travels a little further, where it is seized l>y a grip and forced into n recess, where the head is made. A pair of pincers then takes it from the die and drops it into a tiay, and the work of the machine is done. Tho whole process does not occupy five seconds, for the pincers that catch and drop the pins work so fast that the pins are coming all the time in a stream from the machine, but s<> remarkable is the mechanism, so infallible in its action at every point, that it really appears to reason as it works. ?New York Journal.

The condition of the "goober" or peanut industry of Virginia is said to ho fairly satisfactory, aud speculation is life as to the production or size of tho crop for the current year. The acreage <>f 'he Virgiuia pctnut crop this year is est incited to be about !?."?,000 acres, about 5,000 less than that of 1802. Tlio jiel 1 lust year was cons'dcrud large to the acre, and the output was over 8,000,000 bushels. Under the present conditions of the crop for 1802 tin output it expected to reach about 3,500,000 bushels. T he sudden advance in prices iu the early spring of this year luduced planters to put in a full crop, and if good weather during harvest should prevail and prices hold firm, planters will reap the benefit. The demand for gooberi has doubled within the last five ye irs, and yet the supply does uot till all the requirements. No other plant in this country can be utilized in so many difi ferent ways, and hence the possibilities > < f the industry are great. , Baby Ruth Two Years Old. i Washington, I). C.?
