than So per cent. of the starch that a
bushel of hulled rice does.
This plant seems to flourish as

Japan as it does in the middle and
southern portions. The mean annual

is 4S.33o Fab, the extreme maximum

1t is possible that our field tillage
would not give such high yields as
the thorough gardening OF the ia
panese, but it would be perfectly safe
to anticipate that upland rice (sown
as wheat and harvested in the same
wayl would produce on average
wheat lands twenty bushels per acre.
Even at the same yield, upland
rice will give more than one and
one half times the nutriment tor hu-
man food as an acre of wheat, whilst
it's cash value will be more than
twice that OF wheat The rice straw
is fully as good Tor forage assthat OF
wheat or oats. t4
Every one knows that what were
once our best wheat lands have be-
come, as it were, wheat sick"--they
need rest IRON this crop it we
would have their cultivation remune-
rative. In upland rice we have the
promise of substitute more Valua-
BILE than the original. Constituents
of the soil that have been exhausted
Tor wheat, may remain in abundance
tor upland rice. Given to this crop,
our lands will have time to recover
the elements essential 10 wheat; and
SO, by alternating from rice to wheat
and wheat 10 rice, with crops OF
clover intervening, we shall soon en-
ter upon all era OF unprecedented
prosperity.
We have no means OF knowing
precisely the price at which upland
rice could be sold in our markets,
but, comparing it with Carolina rice,
have no reason TO doubt it would
fetch 4 cents per pound. Taking
this as a basis, we have the formula
20 (number of bushels per acre), x60
(number OF pounds per bushel), IA
humber of cents per pound. equal
$4S, as the gross amount per acre.
Take thirty bushels az the yield, and
we have ST. as the result. In any
case it is plain to see how much more
valuable The crop than the average
wheat crop. and is worth AT least a
trial by Our farmers.

Thread from Wood.
From the NGsAaa Gasette.

From the Nosha0 GaSe5e.
The manufacture OF thread from
wood for crotchet and sewing purpo.
ses, has, it is said, recently been star.
ted at the Ably cotton mill, near the
Norrkoplng, in the middle OF Sweden
The manufacture has arrived at such
a state OF perfection that it can pro-
duce, at much lower price, thread
that is of as fine quality as "Clarks,
and has from this circumstance been
called thread "a la Clark" 1t is
wound in balls by machi' ry, either
by hand or steam, which with the
labelling, takes one minute, twelve
seconds, and the balls are packed up
in cardboard boxes, generally ten in
box. Plenty of orders from ali
parts of Sweden have come in, but as
the works are MOI yet in proper order
there has not yet been time to COM
plete them all. The production gives
fair promise OF saccess, and it is ex-
pected to be very important for homo
cOnSuInptiOn. @e3

A Rival to Kerosene.
From an Exchange.

From an Exchange.
Nj. Kordig, a Hungarian, hes been
lately performing some experiments
at scientific meetings in Paris, with
a volatile liquid which is offered TOR
lighting purposes. Having arranged
on the table several lamps in which
the fluid burns with beautiful bright
flame, NJ. Kordig states that the sub
stance presents no danger of fire or
explosion and he gives the following
tests: He pours quantity OF the
liquid on his hat and lights IT, where.
upon long fame springs up to the
ceiling. He puts his has on his head
aud waits till it goes out, and the hat
is then shown TO be intact. Next
he pours some of the liquid ON the
floor and on a handkerchief, and
lights it; the floor and the hand
kerchief are no ways damaged.
Some drops may be.put in the hollow
of ones hand and burnt without
producing appreciable pain. These
facts are readily explained. al.
Kordig's mineral essence boils at
about IS degrees c., and the tension
OF its vapor is considerable, so that
it is not the liquid that burns but
its vapor. The new liquid is said to
be obtained from mineral oil beds
recently discovered in Hungary. 1t
has slight smell Of petroleum, and
produces on the hand q cold sensa-
ton like ether.
