Blind Staggers:

THIS disease is caused by Indigestion,
which produces congestion of the brain
with apparent loss of sight and of general
nervous power, so that the pigs stagger
about and run against obstacles which
may be in their way, as if blind. Very
soon they fall over and become con-
vulsed. Overlooking is the cause, and
this fault is quite common, for, as pigs
are greedy and are usually given all they
will eat, they eat too much and suffer
from indigestion, with the result above
mentioned. Treatment is generally use
less when the brain is affected. A prob
able remedy is to give an active purga-
tive, as two ounces of linseed oil with
one scruple of calomel, and abstain from
feeding for two or three days; then give
very little food until the animal is fully
recovered.

With the average breed Of hogs thai
we handle here there is very little profit
after the hog weighs 300 pounds. The
most pork is made with the least feed
Immediately after the pig is weaned. 4
pound of feed will produce more pork
then than at any time in the pigs life.
AS that pig grows older he costs more
every day, says Professor Henry.

Cause of Rust in Grain.

Alter thorough investigation us to
the cause Of rust in wheat and other
grains, the Guelph (Ont.) Agricultural
college has arrived at the following con-
illusions:
l. Seasons are the chief cause of rust;
sudden changes of temperature and rain,
accompanied by close. still weather, are
favorable to its increase. 2. Low lying,
rich soils are most subject to attack 3.
An excessive use of nanures rich in nj
trogen encourages the disease. a. Late
sown grain is most subject to attack. s.
Thinly sown crops seem most liable to in
jury. 6. Red wheats are less affected
than white varieties. 7. Rust is more
common in the vicinity of barberry
hedges than it is at greater distance.

Young Orchards.

For at least three years cultivate the
young orchard. We have often said that
if you desire to grow crop of apples
you must give the crop something of the
care you give to other crops. We have
seen orchards planted in a grass field and
left to grow while the ground was occu-
pied by the grass. We never saw good
orchard grown in that way, however.
Plant the young orchard in some crop
that will not shade the trees or pre- vent a
full supply of moisture.

1t seems to US solution of the milling
problem for Florida, as the planter saves
on the expenses of shipping, freight and
milling, besides retaining at home the
by-products, such as meal, which is I'M

Rice Culture in Florida.

We notice with pleasure indications OF
q revival of rice culture in your State,
and on a more extended scale than ever
before. There is no good reason why
Florida should not be one of the largest
producers of this cereal, and we hope
abundant success will crown the ventures
of the coming season, thereby adding
largely to the material resources of the
State. The finest growth OF rice in this
country, that we have seen for many a
day came to us from a Florida planta-
ton some years ago, and we hopedto see
more of it, but with the decline in culture,
Florida rice ceased to be of any moment
in the market.
Wehave now on the way from the East
Indies lot of seed rice, which we are i'm
porting for DR.. Hicks who, we under
stand, intends to plant about 500 acres
of the Eustis meadow lands. His idea of
planting a portion of imported seed, in
order to improve the culture, is COM
mendable, and as the isothermal condi-
lions of Florida are nearly allied to that
of the delta of the Irrawaddy and the
Ganges, we have no doubt his effort to
acclimatize it will meet with success.
Referring to the fine lot OF Florida rice
received some years ago, we remember it
was not milIed as we'll as it might have
been, but the grain was of unusual size,
and of most excellent character. If it had
been properly milled. it would have been
the handsOmest parcel we ever handled,
and that, by the way, covers great deal
of ground.
This reminds us that the milling ques-
ton is almost inseparable from the cul-
ture of rice, and the lack of facilities for
food, or for market. was the reason that
the culture was practically abandoned
in Florida. The expenses of the trans
pOrtation of rough to the Georgia and
Carolina mills, and the greater cost of
bringing back the cleaned product, was
from extending or even continuing the
culture Planters grew tired of working
for the benefit of the freight lines, when
it yielded no profit to themselves. AS a
result the planters did not raise rice
neither could the people eat it as daily
food, on account of the cost.
We venture the remark that your State
will never become large producer of rice
for sale until it has first become large
consumer; after reaching that point,
there will always be surplus to sell to
other States, and rice will be profita-
BILE selling crop. This would be dis
couraging fact, if there was no easy and
practical solution of the milling question.
A year ago we could have suggested
nothing to relieve the situation, except
that some kind philanthropist should go
to Florida and put up an expensive mill
plant and wait for the culture to mater
ialize. However, within the past few
months we have had brought to our
notice a machine forplantation or neigh
borhoOd use which is destined to become
an important factor in the development
of rice culture in Florida as well as other
Southern States, that now buy an article
they ought to produce themselves.
The machine we have reference to will

SUPPORT HOME INSTITUTIONS,

The citizens Of Santa Ee are demon
stratlng their faith in the benefits derived
from building and loan associations.
Home affairs of this kind keeptha money
at home and materially aid in building up
the town. In the first place the man
who has idle capital on hand and places
t in an organization Of this kind, the
management Of when is straightforward
and fair, gets for that money much
larIer return than he can on ordinary
time loans. Then the iairly weI-to-do
man who wants to establish q home is
enabled by this means to secure this
home, and then there is the man who
sells the real estate upon which the home
is built, he, too, gets a share of the bpEe-
its, and following along come the stone
and brick masons, the carpenter, the
p'asterer, the painter and the laborer.
All these share in the good results, ana
the city secures a modern improvement
that OF itself ought to inspire citizens to
more generally take part in furtherng the
welfare Of the building and loan associa-
tons.
