Leghorn Straw Farming.

What is known as Leghorn straw ia
raised on the bills wnich rise on each
side of the rivers Pisa and Elsa south of
Florence, Italy Its adaptability to the
uses TO which it is destined depends
principally on the soil on which it is
sown, which soil, to all appearances,
exists only in this small district, out OF
the bounds of which the industry is un.
known. Any variety Of wheat which
has hollow, flexible stem can be used
for seed. The soil must be titled and
prepared very much asif it is for corn, but
the seed is sown five times as thick as is
usual for other purposes; this is done in
the month of Dec mber or February.
When the straw Is full grown, and be-
fore the grain begins to form itself i'll
tie ear, it is upro3ted and firmly tied in
sheaves the size Of a handful. Each
sheaf or menata, as it is called, is spread
out in the shape Of a fan to dry in the
sun for three days. after which it is
slowed away in barns. The harvest be-
ing over and the fields empty, it is again
spread out to catch the heavy summer
dews and 10 bleach in the sun, during
which time it is carefully turned until
oil sides are equally white.
