Richmond Locomotive Works are being
fire-proofed with Ricinste Salamander,
furnished by Messrs. G. w. Tanner &
Co., of Richmond. the sole agents Of
the Ricinate Fire-Proofing Company of

the most far-reaching Importance, and its
use bids fair TO supersede that of sheet and

Aqri. Editor: Will you tell me what is
the value of rice flour as feed ration for
the dairy when compared with corn feed
meal. Present price of rice -four IS cents per
bushel AZ pounds: feed meal, 81 80 per
cwt; wheat bran, 81 40 per cwt; cotton
seed meal, 81 Is cart l use the above in
the following proportions, mixed in large
bin: Bran, 200 pounds, rice flour, 500
pounds, cotton seed meal, 200 pounds. OF
this mixture give each COW eight quarts
at night and four in the morning feed,
mixed in their feed tubs with about peck
of cotton seed bulls at each feed. Il forgot
TO mention the hulls, which we get from the
mills at 10 cent and Is cent per cwt.)

value. If you will kindly look over the ra-
ton. as made up above, and give me your

Savannah, Ga. .. +. ".
We have no late analysis of rice flour, and
cannot say exactly what is the content of
albuminoids and carbohydrates iii the
quality that you are feeding. However, the
appropriate material with which to dilute
the highly heterogeneous materials-cotton
seed meal and wheat bran. Your letter
very clearly indicates that you have an in
tellgent comprehension of the subject of
feeding cattle, and you are, of course, aware
that in the matter Of feed stuffs the closer
we approximate ratio of to So Tor g. of
albuminoids to carlo -hydrates, the closer
we come to proper food for producing
both quality and quantity of milk. The
ration that you are giving, doubtless, ap-
proximates this ratio-presuminR that your
materials are of normal quality in no ways
adulterated. The cotton seed bulls are of
little value, except as they act as diluenE
of this rich ration. You do not say whether
you supply any good hay. AS diluent or
amendment" the bulls are a very valuable
component of food at the price stated. A
very important question is: Have you fed
the above ration long enough to enable you
to determine whether it agrees with your
COWS, and do they consume the whole ration
with relisha Are they thriving on it, and Is
the return in milk what you think it ought
to be? The manure from cattle fed on this
ration is very fine, and is worth very nearly
what it cost in the food. 1t is possible that
the above ration has greater proportion
of nitrogen than a strict economy would
! justify. Gould you send us sample of the
rice flower and also of the mixture9

Cotton Tests.

Experiments with seven varieties of cot
ton at the Alabama Experiment Station
during the past season gave the following
result:
The Peerless proved the most productive,
yielding 1850 pounds seed cotton per acre,
SO and LII per cent. of which was lint.
The Peterkin yielded 2,2l2 pounds Of seed
cotton, which gave 351 per cent of lint.
The Southern Hope gave 2,239 pounds
seed cotton per acre. 2815 per cent. of which
was lint.
The Truit yielded 2,4O0 pounds. 32% per
cent. of which was lint.
The Storm Proof l, 40 pounds, 3S11 per
cent. lint.
In all OF these except the Hope and Peter
kin the lint was seven-eighths of an inch in
length. The latter gave a lint of g inches
in length, while the Hope was IS inches.
The cotton was planted in checks four by
four feet, and cultivated both ways with the
plOw.

Charcoal FOR Swine.

The Rural and Stockman has never
found better preventive or remedy for
diseases of swine than the charcoal powders
which it has so often mentioned. If there
are others as good we have not seen them.
This Journal has given these powders a
great deal of free advertising because we
have believed them to be good. We have
no interest in them at all. But the swine
breeder and feeder will find that pure char
coal is an excellent thing for swine. 1t is
absorptive of the gases, and aid to diges-
ton, corrective of many conditions that
favor disease and we live something of a
blood purifier. The only trouble about it
is that when 1t is fed to animals to any ex-
tent it is apt to produce costiyeness. This
can be remedied, however, by giving May
apple root Some advocate giving rotten
wood and cinders. They are better than
nothing, but charcoal is by all odds the
best. II a little more attention was given to
supplying such things ana our swine should
be more largely fed upon the bone and
muscle forming foods we should have less
swine diseases

made of reindeer antle-s, with a wooden
handle about two fees long.
Hardly an Eequimau, and especially no
Esquimau boy, sJirs out Of the house in the
winter without one OF these scoops in his
hand. To every party OF two or three
there will also be good-sized bag Of seal
skin, generally made Of piece of an old
kayak cover, for bringing home the fish.
Arriving at the fishing grounds each pro-
ceeds to pick a pole through the ice, which
is about four feet thick, clearing out the
chips with the scoop.
The Gigs" are then let down through the
hole, aud enough line unreeled to keep
them just clear OF the bottom, where the
fish are playing about The reel is held in
the right hand and serves as a short rod,
while the scoop is held in the left hand, and
used to keep the hole clear Of the scum of
new ice, which, Of course, is constantly
forming.
The line is kept in constant motion, jerked
up quickly a short distance, and then al
lowed to drop back, so that the little fish
that are nosing about the white "jigs,n
after the manner Of Goldfish, are hooked
about the jaw or in the belly.
As soon as the fisherman feels a fish on
his hook he catches up blight of the line
with his scoop and another with his reel.
and thus reels up the line on these two
sticks in loose coils until the fish is brought
to the surface, when a skilltul toss throws
him off the barbless hook on the ice, wnere
he gives one convulsive flop and instantly
freezes solid.
The elastic whalebone line is thrown off
the sticks without tangling, and paid out
through the hole again for another trial. If
fish are not found plentiful at the first hole
the fisherman shifts bis ground until he
STRIKES a school" They are sometimes so
plenty that they may de caught as fast as
they can be hauled up s,--s....
One woman will bring in upward Of a
bushel of little fish-they are generally
about five or six inches long-from a single
days fishing. This fishing lasts unth the
middle of May, when the fee begins to
soften. A good many are caught along the
shore in Novem Der in about foot of water,
when there are no tide cracks in the ice.
At this season tue Esquimaux usea little
rod about two feet long, with short line
and little ivory squid, at which the fish
bite.

viii be readily perceived that scraps OF fat

Now, therefore, with regard to feeding
