UPLAND RICE.

K - :.
You can grow upland rice on any good,
rich lands but it is less labor, perhaps, iito
select piece5of new. land, before crab or
:,crow:ffoot grasses have.flled the earth with
seed. &C.
Mr.. David Dickson, (oxtord p Ga, had
the bestseed before the war. -.
Select good land, rich enough to grow
4oto SO bushels of corn, and plow and har-
row thoroughly, soas topulverize the earth.
Mark off rows 23 feet apart, and for cas-!
cultivation make aridge as for cotton, with
alight one horse eplow; open afurrow about
/ inch deep-not more, and drill your rice
seed. Sow about. 1.-The time Of first plan
ting of cctton-as early as all danger from
frost is past. When the rice is up, say
about 2or inches high, bar off lightly,
with smallest turn plow, and scrape off
lightly all the ridge. This must be done
with sharp hoes, kept keen, and all the
surface removed, SO as to get rid Of all
grass and weeds. This saves all hand pick
ing of grass.
In a.day or two the rice will be seen all
along the row, and will grow off before
grass seeds vegetate. I mean shave off all
the rice as well as top of earth.(D When
rice is s.or inches high, run the plow
around it and dirtnicely; use either bull
tongue, small shovel or small turn plow.
Keep. clean with cultivators, or hoes i
chop out at I'd hoeing, SO as to leave the
ricein bunches, about 9 inches. apart leay-
ing small bunch in each hill, SO to say.
The culture is very simple-the great i'm
provement issin saving hand picking; for
the first crop Of grass, unless gotten ridof
IS direct, or by manipulating, will run
away with the crops. When a boy my
father putme to picking out grass, with
the darlies, and though it has been SO
years ago, I remember the skin, from arms
and neck pealed ofas "sick as an onion
the sun was loo hotfor the skin, and I was
bistered. From that time to this, J have
.detested picking ont grass. have made
fifty-nine bushels Of good rough rice
from not over half an acre. I had several
patches, but most were injured by being
too low and wet, and did not ripen well.
The ,highestpat made the crop -
I have forgotten Mr.. Dickaon's 2. O.,
but Mr.. White can give it.

FEYERS4 AND FRUITS

Let's have little talk about orchards
and gardens : as linfe-preservers. Many a
farmer. thinks.he s.can'ts fuss about a gar
:den'' with vegetables and small fruits in
ample variety, hardly about an orchard,
especially beyond appletre sohe goes
on to weightier matters of grain, or stock,
or dairy, and eats potatoes, wheat bread,
pork and salt beef, all summerlong no fine
variety of vegetables, no grateful berries,
no luscious peaches or juicy cherries. By
October fevers come or bowel complaints
some kind, or some congestive troubles,
most likely. Heis laid up, work stops a
month, the doctor comes, he adrags round"
all winter, the doctors bill drags too.
The poor wife, meanwhile, gets dyspeptic,
constipated, has fever, too perhaps, and she
ssiust crawls round" What's the matter ?
They don't know poor souls. Would they
build hot fire in July and shut the doors
Of course not in their rooms; but they
have done just that in their poor stomachs.
How SO? They have been eating, all sum-
mer, the heatproducing food fit for a cold
season, but not for warm one. A Green
ander can eat cadles and whale fat, be-
cause they create heat. In January we
are up toward Greenland-in climate.
AHindoo lives on rice, juicy fruits and
tropic vegetables, cooling and opening to
the system. In July we move toward
Hindostan, in heat almost tropical Diet
must change too.
Have apples, pears, cherries, &c, from
the orchard, ever day, of early and late
kinds. Let there be plenty of good vege-
tables, raspberlies, strawberries, &C. 1t
takes little. time and trouble, but it's the
cheapest way to pay the doctors bills.
And, bless your dear souls, these things
taste good!
You study what feed is good for pigs
and cattle. AL right; but wife, and chill
dren are of higher consequence and it's
shame if, with all our great gifts of intel
-lect and intuition, we do notsobey the Di-
vine laws in our own physical being so
we'll that the doctor shalLvisit the. house
less thar the horse:doctorgoessto the barn.
Don't fail of vegetables, berries and fruits.
Try it, and you'll say we haven't told hall
the truth.-Ruraz Ne,0- Yorker.

CU1IvAr4Ne oRcHARDs.-Apple or
chards left to themselves bear only on
alternate years, with such uniformity,- that
Clearing years. have come to be regarded
,as the order of nature, rather than human
device. The trees, in average soil, do not
have aliment enough to give full crops
every year. Cultivation and manuring
will change all this, and give us remuner-
ative crops every season. Possibly ma
nuring might do this even if the orchard
were left in grass. But the danger: is, If
the orchard is left unplowed, it will not get
the. manure.
The common objection offered to plow-
ing is the damage done to the roots
of the trees. We have no doubt
that an orchard might be plowed 50 deep
and 50 near the trunk of the trees as to
damage it past hope of recovery. But
discretion is to be used, and the plow is
to be~kept SO near the surface under the
trees as not to break off the large roots.
1t has also been ascertained that grain
crops are not good for orchards. We
have known orchards to be made barren
for several years in consequence Of a crop
Of rye. Grain crops, unless buckwheat
be an exception, take from the soil what
the trees need, and shades the land too
much. Root crops are the most desirable,
because they require good deal of ma
nure, and thorough tillage to make them
profitable stirring of the soil, and the fer
tilizers, are the wants of the apple tree,
and the root crop enables the farmer to-
give these to his orchard, and at the same
time he is remunerated for his labor.
Potatoes, carrots, beets and turnips are
all good crops for the orchard, if you put
on manure enough to make them pay. A
surplus must be left in the soil to make
the apple crop. But will an apple orchard
thus fed bear every year? We have no
doubt of it. Horticulturists who make a
speciality of apples, and manure every
year, succeed every year in getting crops
every season, with very rare exceptions.
The apple is so fine fruit, and SO easily
kept, it is SO much both food and luxury,
that no pains should be spared to keep our
orchards in the best condition.

PEACH Blow PorAroEs. White peach

PEACH Blow PorAroEs.-White peach
blow potatoes are one of the best varie-
ties for market or yield. They are hardy,
produce well, and are not liable to rot.
They take the lead in the New York mar
ket in the Spring, as they are good keep
ers. They require to be planted early,
and they will then be the very last to 6
.ripen. !Thesvines grow rank, and they will
not bear crowding. The tubers run q
great deal in the hill, which makes the
digging slower, more laborious and costly
than almost any other variety.

PHILOSOPHY OF CURING; HAY.-As to
the proper time for cutting hay and the
philosophy of curing, the following from
the "Ohio Farmer is sensible and to the
point.
"Don't dry your hay too much. Hay
can be dried till it is as worthless as
straw. AS a good cohee-maker would
say, Don't burn your coffee, but brown
it, SO we say, don't dry your hay, but
cure it. Our good mothers who relied on
herb tea instead of apothecaries medicine,
gathered their herbs when i'll blossom and
cured them in the shade. This the phil
osophy of making good hay. Cut in. the
blossom and cure in the shade The sug-
ar of the plant, when it is in bloom, is in
the stalk, ready to form the seeds. If
the plant is cut earlier, the sugar is not
there; if later, the sugar has become con
verted to woody matter. Hay should be
we'll wilted in the sun, but cured in. the
cock. Better be a little too green than too
dry. If, on putting it in the barn, there
is danger Of heating in the NOV, put on
some salt. 1t is said by some that lime is
equally as good as salt.'

poured on the eggs. To color them GRIM

IMPROVED FARM1NG IMpLEMENTs.-The
New York "Evening Post" remarking on
the great improvement recently made in
farming implements and machinery, gives
some observations made in the West by
way of illustration. A corn field contain
ing one hundred and sixty acres was
Plowed, planted, and cultivated without
subjecting the farmer to the trouble of
going on foot at all. The ground was
prepared by the use of a rotary spader.
on which the operator was planted by q
two-horse machine, the driver seated on a
box. When hoeing time came, cultiya-
tor performed the operation without in
volying the necessity of pedestrian exer-
else. When the corn is ripe it is cut and
laid in rows by two-horse machine-thus
completing the cycle of machine corn
raising. On the farm of which this corn
field formed part, there was a field of
timothy comprising seven hundred acres.
1t is the improved farm machinery which
has rendered such extensive farming oper-
ations possible and profitable at the same
time.

Bower OF GooD MANS LEE.-
The beauty of a holy life, says Chalmers,
constitutes the most eloquent and effective
persuasion to religion which one human
being can address to another. We have
many ways of doing good to our fellow
creatures, but none SO eficacious, as lead
ing a virtuous, upright, and well-ordered
life. There is an energy of moral suasion
in good mans life, passing the highest
efforts of the orators genius. The seen
but silent beauty of holiness speaks more
eloquently Of God and duty than the
tongues of men and angels. Let parents
remember this, The best inheritance to
leave a child is yirtuous example, a leg
acy Of hallowed remembranees and associ!
ations. The beauty ofsholiness beaning
through the life of a loved relative or
friend, is more, efectual to strengthen such
as do stand inevirtue's ways, and raise up.
those that are bowed down, than precept,
command, entreaty or warning. Christi
anity itself, I believe, owes by far the
greater part Of its moral power, not to
the precepts or parallels of Christ, but to
his own character. The. beauty of that
holiness which is enshrined in the four.
brief biographies of the man of Nazareth,
has done more, and will do more to regen-
erate=the world, and bring in an everlast-
ing righteousness, than all the other agen-
cies put togetheE3It has done more to
spread his religion in the world, than all
that ever has been written on the eyiden-
ces of Christianity.

su1soILs PIow1Na-REsTon1Ne Grass

LANDS, o.-The snbjectot deep plowing
is beginning to besappreciated and it will
be found intheir returns5 of crop large
increase BY its adyo ocatessover those who
still adhere to.the way their grandfathers
ssskinned, the surface. Tberoots of many
plants run down into the soil a great
depth. Take, for instance. clover. The
fine roots of this plant may not unfre=
quently be found in profusion two, three
and, in rare cases, four feet below the .snr-
face; hence the advantage of this plant
to the soil. An old English writer, while
on this subject, wisely remarks:
s'In forming a kitchen garden, I had,oc-
casion to trench wheat field, and found
the soil matted with fbres to the depth of
about four feet six inches; but stronger
roots extended even below this depth, and
were traced down five feet six inches"
This applies also with great force to
those roots that grow down in what are
called taproots; an instances has been re-
vealed of carrots running down eighteen,
twenty, twenty-four and thirty inches;
thus it must be apparent to any rejecting
mind that deep plowing is highly necessa-
to give the roots full play, and the secret
seems to be this-to turn up the subsoil.
The deeper the ground is plowed, the
prospects are increased for crop that
will pay; that is, if you manure literally
in addition. Manure is the key note in
farming.-. q. -Hersey.

SoUrHDowNs--Aco correspondent in the
'aPrairie Farmer" says;
The Southdown sheep will shear, on the
average, about eight pounds of wool that
will not lose over one-third by cleansing
for the cards, worth more per pound in the
fleece than any of the fine woods, for this
reason; the wool is fine enough for all
manufacturing purposes except the very
finest descriptions of goods. Atwo-year
Southdown wether or buck will shear
twelve pounds of wool that will weigh
eight pounds when cleansed for the cards;
his carcass will weigh from 175 to 200
pounds, gross, worth more per pound than
any other breed in this country, or, per-.
haps, anywhere else. This breed of sheep.
is ready for the butcher at any time from
two months and half old to five years,
giving as much weight for their feed and
age as any other breed, always netting
more in proportion to gross weight. The
Southdown buck has always been profta-
bly, introduced into o flock, improving, as
he always does, and ever will, in my judg
ment,, every breed upon which he is
crossed.
