THE SUN FLOWER.

Those who are most experienced in
the cultivation of this plant are sanguine
that with proper soil and proper cult
walton, it is more profitable than wheat or
corn. The seeds are more oleaginous
than those ofthe flax plant, and combine
the qualities for table use of the best OIL
i've oil for burning, of the best sperm,
without its smoke ; and for painting it
is said, by painters who have used it, to
be superior to linseed as it is more rapid
in drying, equally easy in spreading, and
without forming much denser coat.
Prepared and eaten as artichokes, the
young cups of this plant are very escu-
lent and pleasing to the palate: the stalks
are an excellent substitute for hemp
or flax, and for bee pasturage It's equal
to any plant, yielding, in its luscious and
numerous hectares, an abundance of the
best and most palatable honey. A wri-
ter in one of our agricultural exchanges,
says that, on suitable soil, with proper
cultivation, it will yield, on an average,
from eighty to one hundred bushels of
SEED 10 tnS acre. FIOlIl I'VE 10 seven
quarts OF oil are calculated on, per BUSH
ell. If this is not over-eslimating its pro-
ductivness, and it can be raised as cheap
ly as wheat or Indian corn, ordinarily
considered the most expensive crops
cultivated, the sun flower must be very
profitable production. We have, here
tofore, cultivated it on small SCALE
usually in vacant spots by the fences and
in places where the cultivation Of other
vegetables was ineligible, and so far as
our experience goes, it corroborates the
above assertions. We find that the greer
leaves are very excellent fodder for cows
especially when the feed in our pas
lures get low, in seasons of scarcity anc
drought. We generally commence
plucking them in July, taking the low.
er leaves first, and feeding them out al
night, or, if the scarcity of feed is great
in the morning, before turning then
from their yards. We have sometimes
given corn-toppings and the leaves of thu
sun flower at the same time, and hav,
found that the latter is always preferred
The seed of the sunfower is a mos
desirable food for poultry, its highl
oleaginous nature wholly supersedin
the necessity of animal food.-.Main
