Electricity in Agriculture.

At the experiment station at Amherst,
Mass, Professor Warner is trying the
direct application of electricity, fur
nished by dynamo, to the plant itself
and to the soil in which it grows. He
has prepared two plots of ground, side
by side, six feet by twenty feet long. To
compare plants to grow by electrical aid
with those raised according to the nat
gardens, is furnished with electricity,
and the other is without 1t. The soil is
a rich loan, and that in the electric
garden is surrounded with timber
frame, on which are arranged numerous
porcelain inSulators, few inches apart,
holding continuous copper wire. This
copper wire crosses the garden as many
times as there are insulators on either
side. The whole frame work thus fitted
looks like the stringed frame of piano.
The wires are covered with earth to the
depth of two inches, and in both gardens
various vegetables have been planted
from time to time. These plants are so
arranged that the rows in the electrical
garden are continuous of those in the
non-electric, in order that the contrast
of development may be more easily
noted after applying currents of various
strengths, it was found that a certain
flow of electricity through the electrical
garden produced strange results. Many
varieties of seeds sprouted much more
rapidly, and many plants blossomed

of certain vegetables, and the tops of

under this process. In fact, all the plants
were found to be greatly stimulated by

Upland Rice-A Great Cereal.

r. j. Sommerkamp, of Lamison, Ala,
writes as follows to the Home and
Farm:
Until the common cane or reed pro-
duces seed annually in as great album
dance as it did this year in East Ala
bama. upland rice will be the greatest
cereal that can be planted for several
reasons. 1t produces more per acre
than corn, wheat or oats, with less work
than either, except oats, and will do
well on poorer land than any of them.
l demonstrated the last fact this year
by raising good crop of rice on worn
out hillside that would hardly sprout
cow peas, and the first by getting
better crop on better land, but with
hoeing only once and never blowing it
at all. so that all the work expended on
that piece of ground was bedding the
land, planting the rice and hoeing it
once.
One of my nearest neighbors raised
this year 400 bushels of rice on between
ten and eleven acres of rank new ground,
and all of my neighbor plant more or
less rice for stock feed, as it is a surer
crop than corn, produces equally as well,
If not better, and with much less work.
1t is just as good feed for all stock,
cattle and hogs, as corn, some declaring
the straw superior to fodder as forage.
There was plenty of it cut in the fiat
woods this year that the entire field
would average five feet high, with heads
from ten to fifteen inches long.
l will state here, as in my former let
ter, that | have no ak to grind, no pur-
pose to subserve, except the possibility
of some ohe seeing this who might be
induced to put up rice cleaning machin-
cry in this immediate section, and the
probability that some one may be bene
flied by turning their attention to tn
truly great crop. If we could get IL
properly and cheapy cleaned its value
TO this country would be practically in
calculable, giving us another money
crop along with cotton and furnishing
another article of diet which is now
almost out of reach on account of the
price on one hand or the immense trou-
BILE of cleaning by the present crude
method.

Sprouted Potatoes.

1t is we'll known that seed potatoes
which are stored for late planting often
become soft, while much of their nutri-
tive matter is exhausted in developing
sprouts which must be broken off in
planting. The first sprout is always the
strongest and thriftlest, but it often hap
pens that these sprouts have to be re-
moved several times before the potatoes
are planted, and each time some of the
vitality of the tubers is lost. A compar
alive test was made by Prof. Taft at the
Michigan Experiment Station last year,
when two equal lots of potatoes were
taken, one being left in the cellar, the
other being spread in a dry, well-lighted,
moderately warm room. On April 20,
both lots were planted side by side, and
the plants from the unsprouted seed
came up first, looked the best through
out the season, and produced greater
amount of potatoes and greater proper
tion of large ones with fewer ill-shaped
tubers. Of course, it hardly needed an
experiment to demonstrate the superior
ity of unsprouted seed, but since Done
can afford to grow anything but the very
best crops, it would seem to be worth
while to take every precaution to pre-
vent SprOuting, or secure second crop
seed from the South, which is rarely
affected ia this way.-Garden and For

Brush Lodge.

Virginia, Mo-, June 2O.-Ihe peo-
pie of Brush Valley had their meet
ing last Saturday night to talk on
the silver question. The president,
John Posy, called the meeting to
order. The president thought it
best for the chaplain, Peter Fritz, to
give little advice as to the spirit Of
the debate the chaplain said, breth-
ern am afraid sometimes that there
is to much party in many of the
questions that are sprung on the
people. Sometimes / think the tariff
question is used for party purpose,
it being question that is hard to
understand, think the same of the
gold and silver question. The poll
tician seemingly presents good
showing on both sides, now l hope
brethren you will keep this object in
view, always the good of the people
at heart.
The president then called on Bill
Funny, to open the question. Mr..
Funny rose to his Feet and said MIR.

am in favor of the free coinage of
silver on the account of labor being

do on account that there is not
enough money to pay hands since
1873 when silver was deinonetized
The republicans have always been
gold bugs all their days and in 1878
they thought they would only pay
half as much for labor, and it looks
to me, that was the effect. Look at
the strikes, the trans, aud the thous.
ands that have to be fed in our large
cities. Ricardo, an eminent writer.
says that commodities rule in price
