The RVESTING OF RICE.
Letter from 1sr- -. =. AIiOfd' 'A'a~-
ter Of Ihe sEi,Pds county

HlntS county tTdIetLN.I
EDS. GAZETTE: The harvesting Of the
rice crop, like the cultivation, proved t.
be simple and easy. When most Of the
grain seems to be matured, | had it cut
with IA cradle, cutting across the rows.
The following day had it tied in bundles
and stacked on the ground Is oats or
other grain. During a dry time, two
weeks or more afterwards, l had my
wagon with Il close floor driven to the
rice stacks, and laid a flat rail across the
body ana man standing IN the wagon
received the bundles one by one and
striking a lick or two on the rail caused
the grain to fall out as thoroughly as If
it had passed through a thrashing ma
chine, and in an incredible short time,
we drove out with load of rough rice
and stored it away to winnow at our
leisure, hauled up and carefully housed
the straw which made valuable forage for
my stock during the winter.
The comparative ease with which the
rice crop can be cultivated and harvested,
would make it in my judgment, one Of
the most valuable crops that we can
cultivate. especially when we shall have
rice mills established III every neighbor-
hood, for it is healthy and nutritious
diet for man, as well rs all kinds of
animals and poultry. 1t is one of the
few crops raised by Us that can be kept
in the rough state for an indefinite length
of time, and in this respect is superior
both to corn and wheat as tits not subject
to destruction by the weavel. | do hope
our farmers will give the subject more
Thought, and by the cultivation Of this
and other cereal crops render ourselves
more Independent and self-sustaining.

Aarti Manure.

Every farmer has the materials on his
own farm TO enrich it. How shall he
apply them? How make his compost
heaps? l answer, with mss yard manure,
and the soil mixed with i; AID in the
room of ashes or lime to make Il deecm-
pose, give me hogs nose Writers may
talk about their chemical or mineral
agents, but for me give me hogs. Yes,
keep hogs. Keep them in your manure
cellars and throw in your coarse mateTi-
ais; their noses viii sooner decompose a
sod than all the nostrums of the chemist
Hogs will work better than Irishmen
whose trade il is to spade and toss up
the earth. Hogs will work seven days
in the week, while you must be pretty
lucky to find human laboreF who will
serve you faithfully through six. If a
farmer has dozen head of cattle, he
NAV make fifty cords or 200 loads of ex-
celIent manure every year. From, say
the first of July to September, he must
occasionally haul 10 other materials.
Persons living near the city may buy
manurea, but some living ten miles
away cannot afford TO hanl it to their
farms. /, for one, would not want to
haul it, for make just as good for less
than half what it would cost nae in Bos-
ton. Some farmers with forty head of
CT tile, am sorry to say. make less ma
nIre than others with but seven head.
Ny advice to all is, keep cattle; make
your. hogs work--no labor is cheaper.

Messrs Editors: Now is the time to set
out tobacco plants by those who have
them and those who use the offensive
and nauseating weed in any form,
should use their best efforts TO get
plants and raise enough for their own
consumption. 1t grows finely here,
Welding two crops from the same stalk
when planted early. have succeeded
in raising, from fresh Havana seed,
smoking tobacco that had as good flavor
as the finest cigar. Do not understand
me as encouraging the use OF the often
sive stuff my desire is, since so many OF
our best citizens will persist in using It, 10
induce a disposition on the part OF the
farmers to raise more and stop to some
extent the tremendous drain upon our
finances. / have no means Of ascertain
ing the quantity used by the people Of
Hinds county, but the cost certainly may
be largely reduced. We might raise it
in quantities large enough to induce the
manufacture Of snuff, tobacco, and
cigars, thereby diyersifying our crops

Growing Straw berries

There is no doubt but that in many
parts Of the country the chilli or 'fstool'
plan is failure because of hard Winters.
Fruit is much larger and finer grown by
the stool system-that Is, keeping all
runners clipped off. And the reason for
this is that the ground gets better Guilt
waited. aud the plants being worked upon
all sides, makes a luXuriant growth, and
bears in proportion. Now, if we can
adopt some plan by which the soil can be
kept better stirred all around the plants,
we know fine fruit will be attained.
Therefore We propose what we will
stvle the "matted hill SYSTEM which is
as follows: Prepare the ground well,
mark it three or three and ope-half feet
each way, rs for corn, and at each cross
lag of marker set Il strawberry plant Cor,
if you have plenty Of them, two in each
place will be safer and beter.) Keep the
cultivator running both ways, and quite
often as plants commence TO run freely,
and by DONG this, and when cleaning
the hills by hand drawing stray plants
and covering with earth, matted hill
will soon be formed one and one half to
two feet across. We have noticed that
where there were vacancies in matted
rows, and clumps of plants here and
there, the fruit was much finer than
where the matted rows Of plants were con-
tinuous.
Roots Of strawberry plants run much
further than what one would suppose,
and where the ground is filed with them,
the finest is not SO fine as when they can
have more room. We advise the trying
Of this plan by those who have plenty Of
land and horse help and but little hand
help. After they are through bearing,
a small plow, with sharp knife or
wheel can be run though both ways and
hills plowed down closely, ground leveled
off, and cultivator and hoe run through
as before-Purdu' Fruit Recorder.

Coon ApsIoE.-The Maine Farmer

Coop ADFIoE.-The Maine Farmer
SAYS: First enrich all the ground you
can, and while you are at It enrich ii
well. Then plant what you can take
good care of and no more. If it is
weedy, do not SOW wheat on the other
half acre. If YOU try to smother weeds
with wheat YOU will learn that two can
play at that game. Plant your weediest
land and then hoe it. Clean cultivation
for crop is like extra food for an ami
NAL. 1t gives that increased yield that
makes the operation pay. Here in
Maine we do not work large fields
enough to make it profitable TO give the
weeds as good chance as we do the
crop by half hoeing both; advice from
New Y ork TO the contrary no5withstand-
ing. Whether you plant che or two
acres of corn, plant beans and pumpkins
with it. Then they will get hoed when
the corn does. / 10 not think it need
to, or often does, make half the differ
enee in the yield of corn that the Farmer
called it; and as for the bother, it is our
business to be bothered. 1t is the little
botheFs that make the difference between
profit and lossH
