UpIand Rice Culture.

I am much interested in rice culture.
says w. NJ. Davis in Farm and Fruit
Grower. A large part Of our state would
yield rice almost better than any other
crop In this locality. Lake City, my opin-
ion is that this grain should be planted
from May Is to June 10. Why So Alate2
Because the rainy season VIII then cause
a rapid growth, because there will be
much less work needed in the cultivation
and for the additional reason that a late
crop Of rice in North Florida IS little troub-
led by rice birds. The birds are gone near
er the coast by october, when late plant
ing comes in.
Now, 1 will give my method Of pre-
pairing for a crop and also It's cultivation
The ground is to be kept clean BY turn
ing under grass and weeds every twenty
days When planting time comes throw
the land into beds as for cotton Run a
very narrow furrow in the too OF each
bed to receive the rice. Where clods are in

grain should not be put in too thick This

SOUND MONEY IN GEORGIA.
In Free silver Mexico.

From the Bulloch Times.
In that old country the farmers used
wooden plows, instead Of such improved
implements as are to be seen upon any
farm in the United States. In this coun-
try we Judge Of a farmers prosperity by
the condition of his premises and the
animals and tools to be seen upon his
farm but in Mexico wonderful prosper
ity seems to manifest itself In a differ
ent style. In this country a man would
scarcely impress the public as being in a
prosperous condition. whose children went
about in rags; but in the rural districts
of Mexico It is not an unusual thing TO
see half-grown boys and girls going
around without a stitch of clothing upon
their persons. II. therefore any OF our
neighbors are hankering for the Kind OF
prosperity that curses Mexico, they are
perfectly welcome to go over and enjoy
IT, AS for ourselves, we are content to
tough il out on this side the line a little
while longer With money more plentiful,
wages higher, and every dollar having the
purchasing power Of two Mexican dol
lars, we don't care to exchange situa-
tons.

Sowing, Harvesting and Feeding
Sorghum Cane

Sorghum is a fine general stock food
when properly handled. We will COM
mence, first, with sowing. 1t should be
sown thick enough so that the stalk will
not grow larger millet straw. This makes
fine hay, when we'll cured. for horses,
cattle and hogs. 1t should be sown broad
cast First, fiat break land; harrow off
and SOW from three and onc-half to four
bushels per acre. 1t should be cut when
seed is in milk cut with mower; let it
lay two or three days, then shock in good
sized shocks; let stand four or five days;
then haul out and stack or put in barn
or have it baled. Sow in February and
make three crops on same land. II will
stand more cold than corn will. The late
cutting is the best winter feed not be-
cause IL suckers as some seem to think,
but because the weather is cooler and it
doesn't dry out so much This cane is
also an excellent feed while green. Be
gin by giving horses and cattle small
quantities until they are used to IT. then
give all they Will eat and II VIII tatten
them. Hogs should not be fed exclusively
on cane. but TO give ii with other feed 1t is
excellent both green and cured When
fed green to hogs IL is best before il seeds q.
then IL is tender and they will eat II better
than in any other stage. | find that my
hogs like the cured hay and do better
when fed on il than without it; but when
sown thin il grows large and is one of the
most worthless feeds l know of, and
besides is injurious to stock. / had rather
have corn stalks cut fine with feed cutter
than large coarse cane.
We know of no better crop for forage
or pasture than sorghum, either by itself
or sown together with common peas and
corn 1t should be sown thickly, so that
the stocks are sure not to get too large
and coarse. Neither corn nor sorghum
nor peas make good forage if allowed to
grow too large; for stock will not eat
It freely when il is. Good crops of for
age can be made when sown as late as
July and a good forage takes the place
of grain it is pity not to have plenty
of 1t. 1t is easy, too, to have fine late
pasture even with the annual plants
named though it is best to use peren-
NAL plants Whenever possible.

cnttnn and SILVER.


From the Lincolnton News.
When the cause of the present low price
of cotton is the subject of inquiry the
champions of free silver, with an air OF
confidence that leaves no loop to hang
a doubt on, presses his WORKOUT free
silver hobby-hOrse into service. and tells
us that decentralization Of silver whatever
that isl IS the cause, ana the tree ana
unlimited coinage of the white metal IS
the proper and only remedy for II.
The fact that the unprecedentedly large
crops of cotton the past two years have
been coincitIent with a similar period Of
unprecedented business depression all
over the world, lessening the demand for
cotton goods, and the further fact that
a reduced acreage and the prospect Of Il
smaller cotton crop the present year has
aIrcady added about one-fourth to the
price of cotton counts for nothing IN his
estimation.

up In a very narrow drill.
Now for the cultivation. A sweep is
to be used at the first blowing, the wing
of which is to run very near to the young
plants-so near as to leave little grass
above the ground. The second blowing Is
to be done with a turner, which throws the
dirt back to the rows and again wraps
up the grass. If a third blowing be needed
the sweep is to be used again. Then. "
