CULTIVATION OF MADDER.


 MR. EDrroR,-I perceive, by the agricultu- ral papers, that the cultivation of Madder in this country is becoming more of a business than formerly and believing it will eventually prove one of the staple agricultural products, and as comparatively little is known as to its cultivation, l am induced, in accordance with the wshes of others, to give the result of an experiment made on small scale in the culi- vation of this article.
 In the spring of 1S44, purchased one half bushel of Nader slips. which planted on 15 square rods sf ground, in drills five feet apart, and one foot on the drill, which found quite too near.
 The mode of cultivating it is as follows:- When the tops become six or eight inches high lay them down and partly cover them with earth, the top in this way becoming root. and in this way continuing the process until the ground is filled with roots. Care should be taken to keep the ground clear of weeds earth should be thrown on the tops before the frosts of autumn.
 The result of my experiment, as near as have been able 10 estimate it, is as follows: DR. To half bushel slips Sl 50
 Rent of ground three years 300
 Expense of cultivating 500 Digging, washing the roots. Sc. 6.l9 Klndrying 100
 Grinding l.3s 1907 Ca. The second year dug three bushels
 of slips for transplanting 7,5o have 13s pounds of dry roots which when ground will probably be .. worth 20 cents per pound, after
 deducting eight pounds for waste
 in grinding 26.oo
 l have IS bushels of clips for trans-
 planting $500
 76 50 R,l.nes in favor of crop 6043 More than 2.ooO 900 dollars worth of Mad. der is annually imported into this country. when if can be cultivated here with as much certainty of success as attends most other crops Should any wish to make the experiment can furnish some clips if ifapPlication be made soon You're, respectfully. ,.
