sunaowers as a preventive Of Fever
and Ague.

Lieutenant Maury, in an article commu-
nicatcd to the Rural New Yorker maintains
that the growing of sunaowers around a
dwelling house near fever and ague region,
neutralizcs the miasma in which that disease
originates. He was led to experiment on
the subject in consequence of the dwelling
OF the Superintendent of the Observatory at
Washington having been rendered uninhab-
table five months IN the year by the miasma
that arises from the marshes which nearly
surround it. The rank grass and weeds
which cover these marshes begin to decay
early in August, and by them tho miasma
is evolved. Mr.. Maury's theory was that
the poisonous matter which was evolved
must have been elaborated during the growth
of the weeds, and set free in their decay
On this supposition, by planting other veg
etablc matter between the house and the
marshes and bringing It into vigorous growth
about the time that that Of the marshes be-
gan to decay, the poisonous matter might be
absorb and again elaborated into vegetable
tissue, and so purify the air.
In the spring of 1856, a belt about 45
feet broad, betwccn,thc observatory and tho
mOrshes, was prepared and planted with
sunaowcrs, which Lieutenant Maury recol.
lccted having seen growing about the cabins
in the West, where it was said to bc healthy
to have them. The flowers grew finely, and
tho result was complete success, although
tho chills appeared at the White House an
other places, tho watchmcn ut the Observa.
tory weathercd the summer clear Of chills
and fever. Previously two or three relays
of these men would be attacked during the
season.
Lieut.. Maury says that an acre Of sun.
flowers will absorb, during their growth
many thousand gallons Of water moro than
are SUPP lied by the rains. They arc of easy
cultivation and the seeds, which are very
valuable, find ready market at tho drug
stores. Mr.. Maury suggests that water
lilies planted in marshes would produce the
same effect as unaowers.-Boston Journal

LOUIS 0. COWAN, Editor and Proprietor
Culture Of Carrots.

For the last six years have rahed NOR
or less carrots for feeding to my stock II
winter and early spring. When hrs
PLANTED them in the field. some Of my Ole
nei-hbors shook their heads, and srayeiy
told me that my time and labor would b>
thrown away. As the season proved wei
and favorable to the growth Of weeds,
found il difficult to keep the "wee bits" oil
carrots sufficiently ahead to give chem fair
chance. and began to think my venerable
friends correct in their opinions. Imagine
my surprise at finding my crop yielding at
the rate Of GOO bushels per acre, and not half
attended To at that.
Some time after the above trial, saw in
the Cultivator. an account of their being
raised on inverted green syard, with much
less trouble and expense. Being little in
clincd to Labor-saring, tried the plan
not, however, until last summer. The sod
was plowed ON the 10th Of May, and plant
ed about the Goth. Dry weather having
commenced, the seed came up tardily; few
light dashes finally wet the earth sufficient
ly to give il u Eur start. The patch had no
manure, was not hoed, cultivated or plOwed
after planting. What few weeds came in
were pulled out, one man cleaning half an
acre in day. 81 that the care and labor
was not expensive; nor was the yield cx-
trayagant 400 bushels per acre. Small as
the number Of bushels may appear, it Is
twice us great as an acre Of potatoes. The
whole expense. interest on land included,
was only SIC, or cents per bushcl.
have plowed deep and mixed Large guam
titles OF manure with the soil; trenched
and manurcd, and ridsed over manured
trenches; but have never raised carrots be
fore, for less than 4 cents per bushel; some
times they cost me 10 cents per bushel.
The green sward soil was limestone loan,
The situation was in the middle Of u pas
ture field where the sod was heaviest. The
practice Of thinning to eight inches, single
stands, is one that do not regard as at all
favorable to the quantity or quality OF the
crop. Four to six good sound roots may be
grown in that distance, If the seed is spread
in the drill Us il should be. lf they are al.
lowed to grow too large, they become pithy.
| use the orange variety more than any 9th
er il 10 moro likely to yield far crops in a
succession of years. At this date we are
feeding milch cows and working teams upon
them, with marked benefit &. ". Colin,
Ameuia. Albany Cuiiirator.
