Rolls of Rioe.

The most important Of the agricul.
tural industries of India is the culti-
vation of rice, of which a number of
varieties are produced, differing In
size, shape and color of grain as we'll
as In suitability for culinary purposes.
More than 100000 acres are annual
ly put under rice In India. One Of the
varieties grown is peculiar In that 1t
rs too glutinous to be boiled In the or
binary way. This difficulty Is avoided
by boiling It in bamboo tubes, and
after being thus prepared 1t Is left in
the tubes to be eaten cold. especially
by travellers. When the rice Is to be
eaten the bamboo Is peeled Off and a
long roll Of rice appears. which forms
an excellent substitute for bread.

DON'T Use Wet Feed.

There is no advantage In moistening
the meal portion OF the cows ration.
1t Is better to force her to thoroughly
masticate her feed rather than to aid
her In swallowing 1t quickly.
Mixing of the feed with the saliva of
the mouth helps in its digestion. The
fluid secreted by the mouth Is quite
important In digesting feeds rich In

If the grain is moistened there is less
