POints ON Upland Rice.

Question: want to plant q few
acres in upland rice. Please give me
some information on the subject.
ANswER.-It is q matter of surprise
that more upland rice is not planted In
Georgia, as it is a healthy food product,
liked by most people, easy to raise and
productive in yield. Any land suitable
for corn or cotton will answer for rice,
though new ground is preferable be.
cause of greater ease Of cultivation.
Prepare the land we'll, lay of rows 10
inches apart, use good. complete com.
mercial fertilizer at the rate of 200 or
800 pounds to the acre in the row
and cover it SO as to leave q low.
fat bed. When danger of frost is over,
open shallow furrow and SOW the seed
either in continuous row, or what is
perhaps better, drop = or 10 grains every
10 or 10 inches in the row. Cover
lightly, cultivate shallow. only being
sure to cut down all weeds and grass,
as rice is q tender plant when Young
and is easily crowded out by any other
growth.
Harvesting should be done when the
upper half of the head is ripe. The straw
will then still be green, and after cur.
ing makes fine forage for horses and cat.
tie. Cut and place the "hands" on the
stubble to dry. In "a hours of good
weather it will be sufficiently cured to
tie in bundles and house or stack.
Never tie in bundles while the straw is
damp. The grain can be separated
from the straw either by fails or thrash.
ing machines. The great difficulty
with most farmers is the cleansing of
the hulls from the rice. This can be
done in a wooden mortar with wooden
pestle but this process is very slow and
laborious. Small rice mills can now be
bought for about $500, and there should
be one in connection with every large
ginnery in the state. The knowledge
that rice could be cleaned for a moder.
ate price would very much encourage
the growth of this valuable grain, and I
believe such mills would be profitable.
By planting and cultivating as di.
rected, the crop should yield, with aver.
age seasons. from 10 to 20 bushels to the
acre. %.
Rice is the principal food crop Of
more than half the people in the world.

As to Onion Planting.

QUESTION. you please inform
me how many onion sets I will need to
plant one acre in onions? I would be
glad to have any information in regard
TO onion planting, culture, harvesting
and marketing the same.
ANswER.-The onion crop is regarded
as one OF the most profitable of the gar
den. 1t is usually grown from sets
sold in lunches in the green state; how.
ever, many gardeners raise their own
sets and save the expense of buying
them. This can be done by selecting
poor piece OF land, pulyerizing the soil
with pillow, harrow and rake. 1t will
take about four pounds of good onion
seed to plant one acre if you have a
machine. otherwise, it will take a little
more ii you use the hand. Sow in rows
about nine inches apart. Skip every
seventh row. This will form an alley
IL inches wide. AS you want a small
bulb. sow thick. Take up the sets, say
about Aug. l. well dried. place in your
barn loft, spread out not more than
four inches thick. When frost comes
cover with straw or hay about six inches
deep In the early spring you have
your own sets for use.
AS you want, now, the biggest onion,
you want the best soil at your com.
mand. Broadcast and plow in we'll.
rotted manure at the rate of rs tons per
acre. Again. your preparation of the
SOIL must be thorough and deep, and
the land put in perfect order. Plant
sets in rows 0 inches apart, leaving
the seventh row for an alley. Place
sets in the drills at the distance of 9
inches apart. pressing the bulb firmly
down, right side up. Close the rows
with rake or the foot. Roll the
ground we'll and make it compact. AS
soon as you can plainly see the onions
begin to start up, use the hoe in the
middle. and where you can not use the
hoe, use the fingers in breaking the
ground around the plant Two or three
good workings. if done at the proper
time. will be sufficient. It will take
from TO 10 bushels of sets to plant
an acre, depending upon the size of the
sets.-State Agricultural Department.

First Prayer In Congress-.

In Thatcher's Military Journal,

found note containing the indenti.

by the Rev. Jacob Dutche, a gentle
man of great eloqucncc. Here it is,
a historical curiosity
90 Lord, our Heavenly Father,
high and mighty, King of Kings,
and Lord of Lords, who dost
from Thy throne behold all the
dwellers on earth, and reign
est with power supreme and
uncontrolled over all kingdoms, en-
pires and governments; look down
in mercy, we beseech Thee, on these
Americans States, who have fled to
Thee from the rod of the opprcssor,
and thrown themselves on thy gra-
cions protection, desiring to be
henceforth dependent only on Thee
to Thee they have appealed for the
righteousness of their cause to Thee
do they now look up for that counte-
nance and support which Thou alone
canst give; take them, therefore,
Heavenly Father, under Thy nur-
turing care; give them wisdom in
council and valor in the field defeat
the malicious designs of our cruel
adversaries; convince them of tho
unrighteousnes of their cause and
if they still presist in their sanguin-
ary purposes, 0, the voice of Thy
uncrring justice, sounding in their
hearts, constrain them to drop the
weapons OF war from their unnerv2a!
hands in the day of battle. Be Thou
present, God of wisdom, and direct
the councils of this honorable assem-
bly, enable them to settle things on
the best and surest foundation, that
the scene of blood may be speedily
closed; that order, harmony and
peace may be effectually restored,
and truth and Justice, religion and
piety, prevail and flourish amongst
the people. Preserve the health of
their bodies, and the vigor of their
minds ; shower down on them, and
the rniiiions they here represent, such
temporal blessings as Thou secst ex-
pediont for them in this world, and
crown them with everlasting glory
in the world to come. All this we
ask in the name and through the
merits of Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our
Saviour. Amen"
