Rice cultivation in Russia.

While rice has long been grown in
Persia and the Trans Caucasus, it was
almost unknown in the interior Of
Russia up to 1886, the supply being
i'm ported from India. and, as it was
subjected to high duty, its use was
naturally confined to the wealthieI
classes. Russia first commenced the
cultivation of rice in the early sos, and
in 1888 the first steam rice-cleaning
factory was opneed at Baku, and 1912
tons were produced the first year.
There has been a steady increase in the
production of rice, and there are now
five Iice-cleaning factories in operation,
and the annual product is more than
AS, 900 tons. The demand for rice has
increased, and it is now generally used
by the peasants throughout the empire.
The quality Of the native product is
equal to that of the imported article.
The residue is utilized, the broken
grain being made into starch and the
-four is given to hogs. Scientific
American.

A farmer who discarded his old farm
yard fowls and started afresh with a
few thoroughbreds says that he aver
ages as many eggs a year now from
his twenty and thirty first-class chick
ems as he formerly did from his old
flock of seventy-fve to 100, says a cor
respondent of the Bangor (Me) Com
mercial. That was the average size Of
his flock when he pinned his faith to
the old mongrels which had descended
to him from a long line Of mixed an
cestors with no particular variety Of
blood in them. They were the common
barnyard chickens which we see on so
many farms. The owner kept the flock
up between fifty and 100 year after
year, selling or eating about fifty every
fall and winter.
In the summer time the entire flock
laid enough eggs to keep the basket
moderately full, and sometimes a few
could be sold at prices that left very
little profit. One year the owner tried
to keep account of the cost of feeding
them, and the result was that he de-
cided to kill them all off. They did not
pay for their keep.
After that he purchased a few fancy
breeds. He fed them carefully and
regularly, and gave them good quar-
ters. He started in with a dozen and
gradually raised the number to TWEEN
ty-five, and every year he raises a few
more. He sells a few when anybody
wants a few thoroughbreds, and he
gets good prices for them.

1t takes about three months to grow
a broiler.
Broilers shrink about half pound
each when dressed.
Forty dressed ducklings are packed
in a barrel for shipment.
The duck averages 10 dozen eggs in
about seven months laying.
Build the house 10 by 10 feet for 10
fowls, and the yard 10 times larger.
Ducklings are marketed at FIVE
pounds weight, which they attain In
ten weeks.
Thirteen eggs are considered a sit
ting, though many breeders are now
giving 10.
Ten dozen eggs a year is the aver
age estimate given as the production
of the hen.
About four dozen eggs are given as
an average for the annual output of
the turkey.
Duck feathers sell at 40 cents per
pound; goose feathers bring double the
amount

Growing Sweet Potatoe.

Place potatoes in a hotbed the last
week In April and keep bed dry until
slips begin to show, then water well
every evening. A mellow soil is best.
After the ground has been we'll cult
waited, open burrows four feet apart, fill
with stable manure, and with a turning
plow make a small ridge over the ma
nure. After the ridge has been
smoothed with a rake it is ready for
the slips. Plant in dry dust when there
is a prospect of rain. and set them just
as they are pulled from the bed without
heeling in. They should be set eighteen
inhes apart. Open ridge with a trowel,
set slip in before removing trowel, pour
half pint of water around slip. and af-
ter water has settled cover with dry
soil, placing it around the slip. After
they begin to grow, pillow the patch, re-
peating in about two weeks, after
which the soil is raked up and placed
around the vines to choke out the crab
grass. They are much easier to raise
than corn and are excellent for fatten-
ing hogs; the meat made from them is
very sweet.-Practical Farmer.

Early Spraying of Apple orcha rd..

Early Spraying of Apple Orcha rds.
Most farmers delay spraying their ap-
pie orchards until after they are in
leaf. This is much too late, as what
part of the leaf has been destroyed
cannot be replaced no matter how
effective the spraying may prove in
preventing further spread of the dis
ease. The tree is consequently weak
ened all the season, and its ability to
perfect fruit or form fruit buds for next
years fruiting is impaired. There
should be at least one good spraying
before the buds burst into leaf. This
may be made much stronger than
would be safe after the tender foliage
las put forth. 1t will need TO be
stronger so as to destroy the spores of
fungus while they are dormant. The
bud moth larva so soon as it patches
makes for the nearest bud and eats its
way in. If the spray has fallen on the
bud, the first mouthful it eats is its
last Spraying before the buds open
will also destroy many coddling moths
which often hatch out some time be
fore there are any young apples to de
post their eggs in.

an ideal condition for sowing clover

who sows by hand or with the seeder
can see as he goes along. by the seed

seeds are, and whether he is making

sown now, it should not be mixed with
clover seed, as the timothy seed is
lighter and cannot be thrown 50 far.

The Rabbit Pest in North Carolina.
The Legislature has had to deal with
a large number of game laws during
its present session, and in the proceed
ings of each days session a law pre-
venting hunting without permission in
certain counties is passed. Such laws
are, of course, enacted as a protection
to the land owner, but they are likely
to do more harm than good in a few
years, on account of the great increase
in the rabbit crop. Even now the
farmers in sections of Western North
Carolina are glad to see the hunters, as
the rabbits are seriously injuring the
wheat crop, amounting to a regular
pest in some communities.-Cha

would the soil itself.
