can never seriously compete with
the fertilizer now in use.

Raising Rice Without Water.

FROM The Country Visitor.
1t Is not too late to plant rice
any time during the month of June
Is seasonable time. Many OF our
rice farmers claim that the best sue.
cess, all things considered, is OBJ
tanned by planting this month, rather
than earlier in the season. They
claim that the ground being warm,
the seed germinates more readily
and evenly, and better stand is
thus obtained. They further claim
mat the young rice grows off very
rapidly, enabling it to protect itself,
IN a measure, from grass and weeds.
Another argument in favor of June
painted rice is, that 1t ripens at
season OF The year when the weather
Is always fine and that it does not
Su1er, very materially, from the de-
precautions of birds.
These are welghty arguments and
have the experience and observation
y practical rice planters TO back
.nein. But, says doubling Thomas,
How shall we get water to flood the
ice at this season OF the ar"
ms IS just the question we wished
lsked, Tor we desire to impress the
act upon the mind OF everybody !

that the common pokeroot ( xnlt0.
lacco decoaoaa) is an almost infallible
cure for the hog cholera His mode
of preparation is, to boil it with the
feed or separately, and add liberal
quantity of salt TO the mixture. 1t
will suffice to boil it with whatever
vegetables can be had at this season
and add meal or bran to the liquor
after the mess has been cooked.
This gentleman noticed that his hogs,
when taken sick with cholera, seem
very voracious after the root OF the
poke weed, and that those which
could get it usually recovered in a
few days. Here is, then, a common
natural remedy for that scourge of
the swine on every farm, and it is
seen that there are other uses for the
despised poke weed than those we
before knew OF. We doubt not there
are natural remedies for every disease
OF man and beast at our very doors,
if we only knew what they were.
But it is much better to prevent
this malady, if possible, than to cure
it, tor it is said, with good reason we
think, that no hog once attacked with
cholera is ever so good a hog after it.
For prevention we believe in giving
frequent messes of cooked food
with bran, etc. At this
season liberal use of onions for this
purpose would be very good, and
should form part of every cooked
ness Besides being in themselves
iery nutritious, they seem possessed

How to Use COttOn-Seed Meal.

| Henry Stewdrt, in Rural Ne,o Yorker.
AS the use of cotton-seed meal tor
feeding is to be encouraged, l wish
to reply in this general way to an
inquiry made of me by one Of your
readers as to the best methods of
using it. Like all very rich foods, il
requires to be fed cautiously; but its
character is such that 1t comes in
most usetully at nearly all seasons,
but especially when COWS are on grass
or fed with roots. With good grass
or green crops and plenty OF roots
for winter, l would desire no other
concentrated TODD than cotton-seed
meal, but when dry fodder only is
given, it cannot be used alone safely.
This meal is the cake LETT from the
hulled cotton seed which has been
pressed between hot iron plates to
exclude the oil. The cake is ground
into meal, and is of ht-yellow
color and sweet, nntty flavor 1t
contains ten to twenty per cent. OF
oil which has not been pressed out,
and a very large portion of albumem
and other heterogeneous matter.
Chemically, its constituents may be
given as follows
