The Value Of S.n-Flower Seed.

In these days Of fowlology. when the
Shanghies like school boys On ssilts, straddle
round every farmers barn. too little attention
is paid TO raising the sun flower. As feed
for hens. the seed is unsurpassed. as from its
oily character it approximases nearer to ami
NAL food than any other grain.
Fowls, it is wei known require meat in
winter to supply the place of bugs and worms.
which they can procure for themselves m
summer; but while steak is q shilling pound
it is rather dear luxury to buy meat for the
long legged Celestials Sun flower seed will
answer nearly as well in supplying the olea-
ginous matter
Blu. il is not only useful for Shanghies but
is far better for horses cattle sheep, and swine
than the ordinary food. and what is of impor-
lance. is far cheaper as it is easily cultivated.
and produces more TO the acre, than most oi
the cereal grains.
The oil is also valuable for lamps. As It IS
clear. thin. and inodorous when burnt. and IS
even pleasant to the taste. Whether 1t might
not be make a substitute for olive oil. In culna-
ry purposes. has not yet been tested.
To those who are fond Of making smoke
houses of their mouths. the leaf is valuable for
the manufacture Of cigars. 1t is far pleasant
er, and more delicious than the Havana, or
Roanoke, and if the amateur smoker wishes
something stronger. and more sinking. he
can roll up little guano. or poudrette In 1t.

age. is cut square off. say four or five feet
from the ground. The stump is then split
twice. These splits intersect At right angles
at the center of the stump. There is then
inserted one good sized branch of the same
tree in every section Of the splits. making
four branches in each stump. Care is always
taken to make the bark of the branches and
the bark Of the stump join each other as
closely as possible. The graft is then surroun-
ded with clay and moss, to prevent the out
flow Of the sap, and it scarcely ever fails of
success. The period selected in this clima.e
for this operation is the month of February

Cultiya alton Of Broom Corn.

Cultiv alton Of Broom Corn.
MKssRs. EDIroRs:-As there seems to be q
desire on the part of many Of our farmers TO
try the cultivation OF broom corn. and as
there have been good many inquiries con-
corning its GUILTY. alton, l have concluded to
give your readers few timely hints on the
subject. which trust may not prove alto
gether undressing and Improbable.
PREPARATION OF THE GROUND.
In the first place / would sta,e that the
ground should be prepared just rs you would
prepare it Cor Indian corn. and when you
make your burrows they should be made as
light as possible, and only about three feet
apart.
& TINE FOR PLANTING.
Tho time for planting is between the 10Th
and ] 9Th Of May AS the seed are very slow
to take root. it is necessary to put them in
about this time. for every farme. knows,
the ground is then in the most congenial
order
QUANTITY OF sxED TO THE ACRE.
have known farmers to SOW three pecks
Of seed to the acre This is unnecessary, As
one peck. if rightly sowed. will secure an
equally abundant yield.
THINNING.
When the corn is about six inches in hight.
thin it, leaving ten or twelve stalks in each
hill. A great many leave but five or six
: stalks in hill. and this is the reason we see
so much coarse and crooked corn.
WHEN TO LAY BY.
After the corn is three feet high. there is
no farther necessity for cultivation. as its
growth will be so rapid that the weeds cannot
injure it
The corn should not be permitted to stand
after it is ripe-which can be determined by
the blossoms falling of-ss great injury will
result, therefrom.
NODE OF HARvERrING.
The corn should be broken that the
stalks will remain waist high, and the hills in
one row should be Tapped over those in the
row opposite. and thus . table. the whole
len, tn of the rows viii be formed, upon
which you can hay your corn while cutting.
Cut the corn SO as to leave about eight inches
stalk TO the head.
am aware that = number of farmers are of
the opinion that there is. comparatively. small
profit afforded them in the cultivation Of the
article of broom corn. but if they will make
the experiment they will be convinced to the
contrary. The corn itself will sell for
enough to remuuerate them handsomely for
their labor. and they will have in addition the
seed. which they can always dispose OF At
fair prices. or feed to cattle with profit. or
have ground and use as An ingredient in ,ched.
bread-she latter of course, would be the
most profitable way of disposing of them.
should the price of wheat and -four continue
to advance. In conclusion. l would say. that
however strange the ides OF substituting
broom corn flour for whea. -four may appear.
il is frequently done. in broom corn districts.
and is greatly relished by those eating it.
Yours. II. BULLARp,
