The first rice was sown in this coun-
| try by Sir William Berkeley, In Vir-
ginia, in the year Of 1647. The finest
variety Is raised from seed accidentally
procured from vessel that put into
Charleston In 1894, on her voyage from
Madagascar.
Prior to the civil war (ls6O) the cul-
| ture was in the main confined to the
Atlantic coast States (Nortn and South
Carolina and Georgia.) The yield at
that time annually averaged 175, 900
casks Of $50 pounds net. As most of
the plantations were situated ut or near
the scene Of active military operations,
their destruction naturally followed,
and the culture was almost entirely
suspended. At the close Of that period
1855 the culture was resumed, the
product the first year being 4, 900 casks
and has since enlarged to an average Of
1000. otid sui. n
Rice was also grown to limited ex-
k1ent (about I, 500 bbls.) In the State Of
Z Louisiana, prior to 1880. AS It was Of
low grade and reddish hue, 1t did not
enter into general trade, but was con-
sumed by the Creoles Of that locality.
Necessity during the war compelled
more attention to be paid to its culture;
this, and o series Of misfortunes which
overlook many Of the planters, has
caused an increase a production until
the growth last year amounted TO 49,
600 bills. ---of 225 pounds net weight.
The manner Of cultivation In this
country may not be pninteresting, 30
we briefly describe 1t. A small per-
centage OF the crop n raised on the up
lands. but the lands most commonly
used and best adapted for the growth
OF the higher kinds and qualities, are
the aIinviai swamps on the banks Of
the rivera. 40 situated O. to be flooded
with fresh water ct high tide, by the
opening of fi0od-gate. tg f4fy
The plantations are embarked, as
also are its subdivisions, which are
squares varying from Is to 20 acres In
size. each Of the latter having its sep
arate and smalIer nood-gate by which
the water may be supplied or with
drawn as the growth Of the individual
plot may demand. The seed IL planted
during April and May In open or COW
cred trenches, made f1fteen inches
apart. The water IL then drawn on
sufficiently to cover the ground. This
is technically termed the ''sprout how."
After the seed has sprouted the water
n Withdrawn and the field allowed to
dry. When the blade IL about two
inches long 1.-THE needle state, " Il IL
again flooded, this being termed the
"stretch fiow," which Ii generally LEFT
on : couple Of weeks, or until the rice

point IL hoed and freed from weed and
foreign seed. This dry growth contin-
uea until in "ioints,' or the heads
begin TO form; then II put on the thar.

height until the crop 10 ready TO cut.
The grain II harvested ~ hand with

HOW TO COOK PEAS.

|a HOW TO COOK PEAS.
A few years ago twas q great desid-
eratum among farmers who aspired to
vegetable garden at all, to have green
peas by the Fourth Of July. Now, the
improved and eAF]yrgrqYing varieties
are so numerous tbak W. Ut them two
or three weeks earlier by . judicious
sowing. Most people are very fond Of
them, although BY many they are re-
garded as indigestible. To our mind
however, "that depend, = Us the say
Ing is. We have seen them boiled
with huge piece of salt pork los sea-
sonine, at the rate OF 2,40 an hour for
three consecutive hours. and no WON
der they were indigestible., In fact q
fricasee Of Minnie balls, or an omelette
Of native rubber would be as accept
able toaimost any palate. - ','''' - !.
Peas, to realize our highest expecta-
lions, should be cooked as soon after
picking as posaibie. Marion Fariand
says, ''shell and lay them In cold
water, until they isre ready for cook
ing.n Our early culture and the pre-
cepts Of several model, housewives,
tends to disbelief IN this particular.
We never wet them until they are
poured into boiling water to cook and
then they must have only Just sufli-
Client to cook them. When tender, do
not drain them, as we have often seen
done, but salt lightly and add . pint
Of thin cream, or rich milk. No but
ter is needed. In French Kitchens,
peas are cooked without wster. They
are simply put In sauce pan With q
piece Of butter, size according TO the
Quantity Of pes, and two or three
cred tight. and set on the back Of the
range 70 cook very slowly till tender,
q little salt and cream are added when
served. Some cooks wash and cut the
pods In small pieces and boil them to
obtain richer juice In which to cook
the peas. Try It, some Of you, and
send us the results. You know most
foreigners look upon, our methods Of
cooking as wastefully extravagant, let
US learn from them. The French, for
instance, c0noOct the most lpalatable
and nOurishing soups from Liquors in
which vegetables and meats have been
stew ed or boiled material which
American cooks would designate as
''slOps" and believe unfit for use. The
last few months Of business depres-
sion has led many day laborer to
study the problem Of how 10 live, or
rather how to get the greatest amount
Of good for the least amount of money,
and their experience If rightly inn
proved will be gilmore service to them,
than II they had never realized the
necessities Of hard times. Let us re-
member that It is the small leaks that
impoverish household, and that the
small economies lead to affiuence.
