Profit From Sunfiowers.

SuEhowers are generally wild, and are
easily raised in yards or farms. They
are very profitable. the stalk. dried. for
burning, paper making, the seeds for
chickens and other domestic fowls. but
are more profitable by expressing the
valuable oil which they contain, and is
richer and better than cotton seed oil,
which is used for .'olive butter" and
sold in the stores. 1t is considered equal
to olive or almond oil for table use. The
industrial applications are in woollen-
dressing, lighting, and making candles
and soap. For these purposes being con-
sidered superior to other oils. AS it is
SO easily raised on good soil, without
other work than planning, no cultivation
or irrigation being required, the
profit is large, as thousands of
stalks can be raised on each acre.
The seed can be simply expressed into
oil by the old Mexican metate, the stone
by which fresh corn is ground into meal
for tamales. After grinding, pressing
aud clarifying through muslin, is all
that is necessary, except bottling the
goods.

der the item Of Forage" and "Barracks 8
and Quarters, that officers paid their
hotel bills, bar bills, ETC., etc., with
money stolen from the Government by
fraudulent certificates without using one
dollar out of their regular pay.l
The commanding General OF the de-
partment at that time was living In
Headquarters building. Whenever he
used any fuel he used the fuel provided
for the several officers of the Depart
ment HEADQUARTERS. Still, this did not
prevent his selling his fuel order person.
ally every month for S27. Could any
one blame his subalterns for doing the
same?
But this sale OF fuel was not confined
to individual officers alone. | know
that in several instances Post Quarter.
masters sold the monthly allowance for
their whole garrison to the contractor,
because there was enough and mere
wood on hand than would last for
months to come.
Officers going on leave Of absence for
three or six months, generally signed
their acquisitions for fuel and forage in
advance, with Instructions to
give the order to the con
tractor when due, and turn over the
money to the officer upon his return.
Certain staff officers could never be
found at their stations during the hot
season, but they never failed to have
their acquisitions for fuel and forage
presented and turned into cash by one Of
their friends or servants.
In 1880 Congress enacted a law that
officers should pay for theiuel they actu-
ally needed at the rate Of So for every
cord of wood, or sl62 20 per ton for btu
minous coal. This law worked the same
as the old regulations, with the only
difference that officers did lose So on
every cord Of wood, or the equivalent
of coal. The regulation allowance OF
fuel was drawn, i. e, bought and sold as
ever before.
Since then the pressure of the Army
Ring, supported by our Reform Secreta.
ry, Lincoln, softened Republican Con-
gress, and the law selling the fuel to the
officers was revoked in 1882 aud the
gratuitious issue of the same re-estab-
lished.
The traffic in forage by certain class
of officers, that is to say, drawing forage
under fraudulent certificates, and selling
the same to outsiders is even more profit
able than the traflic in fuel, but to this
item l shall devote another letter.

Copper at Casa arande.

The Casa Grande Copper Company
received two carloads of water pipe .
few days sincs from Reading, Penn,
which will be laid from their well in
Vekol basin to their lands on the sum
init, and will there connect with the
pipe line already completed from the
Copperosity. 1t Is confidently expected
that the smelter will be in running order
by the time this line is completed, and
then look out for lively times. BY the
way. the pipe was shipped from Read.
ing to Los Angeles (haviug passed
through here about two weeks since)
and then back here. The freight on q
car shipped in this way is much less
than II shipped Directly here. 1t was
hauled about 900 miles, unloaded and
ferried across the Colorado twice, for
less than nothing.-Prospeetor.

Its Wonderful Emcacy

No remedy ever discovered possesses
the wonderful efficacy of Syrup of Figs.
The certainty with which it expels all
impurities from the system, at the same
time giving tone to the liver, stomach and
bowels, places it ahead of all other relne-
dies, to say nothing of its being more
easily taken. 1t is selling very rapidly.

Selection of Seed.

1t has generally been believed. lands so un-
derstood. that the best success in the pro.
duction of crops required frequent change
of seed, and that the want of the same
resulted in serious deterioration of pro-
ducts. but it is reported that Mr.. Taylor,
of Fancote. England. is authority for the
statement that potato known as ''Old
Amer icans," has been grown in the same
garden for sixty years without change Of
seed, and has never been known to be ;lf-
fected by disease, and that the crop has
invariably been a good one. This is in
striking contrast with the experience of
most farmers who have attempted to grow
the potato upon the same plat of ground
for only two or three years, the result u.s.
ually being diminished yield of tubers of a
much poorer quality. Another similar
case, only with a different crop. is that of
Simon Hunt. a farmer approaching his
three score years, who. some years since.
made the statement that the same kind of
corn was employed upon his farm, (the
homestead that was employed as long
ago as he could remember. and his sue
cess is fully equal to that of his neighbors.
After all. perhaps. deterioration depends
more upon the want of proper manuring,
and the proper selection OF seed than any
other causes.

Diseased Cattle.


Not long ago the Journal mentioned
the report that was then in circulation
about the foot and mouth disease prevail
ing in the government quarantine station
a, Deering. Me. Later this report was
denied. The facts are that the foot and
mouth disease is not only general among
the cattle now at the quarantine station,
but is spreading to an alarming extent
among the cattle belonging to the fai-
mouth and Deering farmers
On the I'd of February a herd of cattle
was taken to Portland for shipment on
the LIVERPOOL steamers The cattle were
examined BY government inspector and
pronounced free from disease. They were
then driven to the quarantine station in
Deering, over Tukey's bridge. There
were upwards OF 100 head in the drove.
Upon the same day some cattle belong
ing to James l.. West of Falmouth were
ted in the road over which the drove had
lust passed. The virus was communicaf-
ed to them while they were tramping
about in the mud, and soon after these
cattle showed signs OF the foot and mouth
disease.
DIR. II. Richardson, the veterinary sur
geon, was called to see Mr.. Vests cattle
Friday, Feb. Is. He found seven suffer-
ing with the disease. The disorder il not
usually fatal, a good deal depending on
careful treatment and faithful nursing. The
cattle Of Mr.. Ross in Falmouth. Mr.. Shat
tuck in Deering and Mr.. Rolfe in Deering
are also more or less affected. In the two
towns there are at present from twenty
five to thirty cases of the disease outside
OF the quarantine station. The cattle in
quarantine are all more or less affected
and undoubtedly had the disease when they
were brought to Portland.
Every effort should at once be made to
entirely eradicate the disease. and it will
be done.
