that water is not necessity to sue
cessful rice culture, nor is it desira-
BILE, unless in exceptional cases.
We flood our rice crops to render
the cultivation less burdensome.
Water kills most kinds OF grasses
but rice, being, in measure, an
aquatic plant, is not injured by being
flooded. This is a slovenly make.
shift, TO call 1t by its mildeSt term,
and it is we'll known that this method
OF cultivation (?) produces very in
ferior results. Grass and weeds
should be killed by early and deep
blowing. The land should be pre-
pared for planting exactly as for
corn or cotton, except that the cul-
ture should be level.
Rice lands are naturally moist. If
they are wet they should be we'll
drained. The seed should be planted
in drills, two and one halt to three
feet apart, and lightly covered.
"Sprouting" the seed will expedite
matters somewhat, if the weather is
warm. In rice culture, as in every
thing else, the best seed obtainable
should be planted. We doubt, very
much, if paying crop can be oh,
talned from inferior seed.
The first culture should consist in
narrowing the ground with a slant
ing toothed harrow. This should be
done as often as the ground shows
tendency to "bake." If the teeth
are set properly, no injury will be
done to the young plant. AS the
rice grows in height an expanding
harrow or cultivalor should be used
between the drills. The grass and
weeds i'll the drills must be removed
by hand. The stand should not fill
the drills at first, for rice stools Won
dertully and it should have plenty
OF room. When the ground between
the rows is covered, cultivation
should cease. Harvesting and the
subsequent preparation tor market do
not differ from the mode adopted in
"water culture."
The foregoing remarks and asser-
lions are not mere theories. They
have stood the test OF experiment
and experience, and are endorsed by
many OF our most successful rice
planters. DRY culture" has much
TO recommend it over SWEET culture"
The labor is lighter and the exposure
is infinitely less. Rich, moist lands
in any section OF the coun4 may
be utilized, instead 81 restricting to

Varieties of the Sugar-Cane.
NUMBER II.

" l N DEN IL
Simmons.
The time has come when the yield
of the cane must be increased, and it
is well known that certain species
are more susceptible OF improvement
than others. This law runs through
out the vegetable kingdom, and peo-
pie who cultivate vegetables for man.
utacturng purposes always therefore
not only seek for what grows best,
but for what will yield most readily
to cultivation. The beetroot grow
ers, but acting according to good
judgement on this point, have de-
voted SO much attention to the selec'
ton of the richest varieties Of their
plant, that they have raised its sac
charine strength from barely four
per cent. to eight and even twelve
and fifteen per cent, and this within
less than fifty years. On the other
hand, it is undeniable that the cane
growers have remained content with
the gifts of nature, and have done
very little towards raising the quail
ity and productiveness of their plant.
The humble root which rivals the
cane has been doubled and trebled
in richness, whilst the sugarcane has
remained comparatively stationary.
1t is asserted by many able to decide
the question, that beetroot has now
reached its maximum of sugar. pro
ducing quality, and we ought to be
encouraged in our efforts TO improve
the cane by the knowledge that this
plant has not yet reached its maxi
mum of production.
The results obtained from the trial
of the Salangore cane at plantation
called Grand Pare, situated near Bas-
seterre, as specially noteworthy.
Planted az the full distance apart
1.-TWO yards by two yards), which is a
essential condition, and MANFRED a:
the right time, the Salangore cane
grows with such vigor, and in such
thick tufts, that in five or. six months
it forms so thick green covering
that weeds cease to grow about it.
The weddings are thus notably re-
duced. The cane goes through the
period OF Towering without injury.
The tufts yield from twenty-five to
forty canes. In consequence OF the
enormous quantity of canes produced
by each rutJ, the weight to the acre
is much above that Of an ordinary,
acre OF canes. In one case sixteen

Points About Fertilizers.

IRON NE Cotton
New York fertilizer manufacturers
claim that about 200 pounds OF their
product to the acre will treble the
ordinary yield OF cotton. Much de-
ponds upon the strength OF the ma
terial used. This is graded by the
proportion Of ammonia, soluble phos-
phoric acids and potash which 1t con-
tainss The better grades hold two
and half TO four per cent. OF am
monia, from twenty-five to thirty
three per cent. of soluble bone phos-
pilates, and from one to three per
cent. of potash.
The Eastern fertilizers are usually
a combination OF animal refuse and
fish. For this purpose porgies, a
very tat, oily fish, are caught, cooked,
pressed and treated to sulphuric
acid.
Great shoals of these fish pass into
the rivers of New England and the
Middle States, and are captured by
steamers which are about as large
again as those used for tug purposes.
A seine is used, and the full width
of the river cleaned at each throw,
sometimes fifty or a hundred tons
being captured at once

are the establishments OF Read u
Co., and E. +. Coe, where this fish
fel tilizer is mixed with that made of
animal refuse. Most Of the animal
matter is obtained from Chicago, St.
Louis, Cincinnati, Louisville and
Cleveland. 1t is the refuse of the
slaughter houses and Of pork-pack-
ing works. Every part Of the ami
NAL is now used Even the blood is
saved, and, by means OF new machin-
cry, is dried and used in the fertilizer.
Repeated experiments have been
made to transport live manure to
the South, but none have been sue
cesstul. One company started in
this city, some years since, TO ship
manure in bales, but, after short
life, died, having accomplished MOTH
ing. The expense OF making terti-
lizer from vegetable manure would
be greater than would be the value
OF the product. And the expense Of
transportation in bulk would be So
heavy as to render it impossible TO
carry on the business successfully.
The freight on the fertilizer to
points north ofNortol is from Sl.26
TO S1.75 per ton; south from sl.75

are much harder than Guinea grass,
and will yield a manifold greater
weight per acre of surprisingly nu-
tritious fodder. They are purple
striped. Number eight resembles
the best yellow Otaheite. Number
eleven, a dark purple cane, perhaps a
less luxurious offShoot OF same parent
as number ten, is also soft IN tissue.
All to number twelve are described
as stouter, more promising canes
than The common Otaheite, planted in
the same soil and under the same
conditions, and which were rarely
one and one.half inches in diameter.
Only number four was so small, mum.
beers two, six, nine, eleven and twelve
being one and hree.fourths inch,
numbers one, three, five and seven
being two inches, while the joints OF
the very handsome, clean cane, num-
Der ten, averaged two and one'half
inches in diameter by six and one
half inches long. Number five has
six.inch joints, number nine, five and
one. half inches, and numbers four,
six, eleven and twelve have tive'lnch
Joints. Those OF number one are
four and one-halt inches, of number
three, four inches, and OF number two
and seven, three and one half inches.
Number six grows very straight
canes. Number seven retains green
foliage, and although short in joint, is
stated TO have very fine habit. The
botanist is careful to say that, having
been grown on poor soil, the dlmen-
sions given indicate, not the ultimate
standard these varieties will attain to
under more favorable conditions,
but only their relative value COM
pared with the common Otaheite, in
fields planted alongside OF them. He
anticipates that richer and moister
soil will improve all. Purple and
purple striped canes are generally ad-
mitled preterentially adapted, by the
hardness OF their habit, to the poorer
drier soils; but it must be remem-
bered, that they have hardness Of
tissue that gives more trouble in
crushing. Numbers ten and eleven,
however, are remarkable excep-
lions, and he thinks that others Of
the list, when tried in really good
SOIL will improve and assure a freer
habit, and gain larger size than ever
shown by our old friend the yellow
Otaheite. The paper mentions Incl
