UFLaND RICE CULTURE.
Until within a few years past the idea
was very prevalent that rice could not
be profitably grown except on marshy
or low lands. We remember, when a
boy, some of the older negroes on our
father’s plantation, especially some who
came from the “low country,’’ used to
have their li'tie crops of rice. It was
their invariable practice to appropriate
very low, wet spots about the spring
heads—places considered too wet for
any other crop—for this purpose. His
tory informs us that rice has been grown
in nearly all the countries of the world
and on dry uplands as well as in the
swamps. It grows in Siberia as well as
in China. It has been found growing
wild on the shores of the Northern lakes
in this country. While it is undoubtedly
true that rice grows and produces better
on moist, low lands, it, by no means, fol
lows that its culture must be restricted
to tide-water regions. In every section
of the country, east of the Mississippi,
there are many situations that are
adapted to producing large crops of this
cereal. Even the high, dry uplands will
produce good crops with favorable sea
sons. The piney-woods region of the
Atlantic ana Gult States is well adapted
to its growth, and it is becoming a staple
crop in many counties, under the stimu
lus of the high prices that have prevailed
as a consequence of the great demorali
zation of labor in the old rice regions of
tbeSouth. On the eld rice estate the
prevailing system seemed to require,
necessarily, a large force of laborers
under one direction, and the shock of
emancipation was more disastrous to
low-land rice culture than to any other
special industry in the South.
Another fact—not generally appreci
ated —is, that upland rice is really of bet
ter quality than that grown in more
Southern localities.
The cultivation of rice is very simple.
The variety best adapted to dry culture
is known as Carolina white rice. A
sandy loam is the best soil. The land
may be prepared as if for cotton, and the
seed may be sown and covered in the
same way and at about the same time
that cotton i« planted. One peck of
seed is ample tor an acre. Even less
will do if the seed be dropped—about
ten or twelve in a place—every eighteen
inches. If sown continuously, like cot
ton, the cultivation may be almost pre
cisely similar to that of cotton, barring
ofithe plants, if grassy, with a turn-plow,
chopping out with a wide hoe and thin
ning to eight or ten plan s in a hill. The
main object is to keep the grass down so
that the rice may have undisturbed pos
session.
Toe time of ripening of dry culture rice
depends on the character of the seasons,
perhaps more than that of any other
grain. The crop is ready to harvest
wheh the grains at the top have turned
''' yellbw and are pretty barn and the bot
tom grains are still in the dough state.
The work is usually done with a sickle,
though a stout grain cradle with a rather
short, sharp blade, can be used if the
straw is not very thick and stout, and
with much greater expedition. The cut
grain should be thoroughly dried in the
sun before hauling up, and may then be
threshed on any good spike wheat
thresher. The cleansing of the grain
baa been considered a great disideratum,
and the want of a small, cheap mill for
plantation use, has been a great draw
back on rice culture on uplands. But
if rice be grown for a money crop, the
rough rice is considered a good market
able form, and usually commands from
one dollar and a quarter to one dollar
and a half per bushel.
If any of our readers can bear testi
mony, from actual trial,to the excellence
of any small rice cleaner, costing not
more than twenty five dollars, he will
do many of the readers of The Index a
favor by relating his experience for the
general benefit.
W e woulu be glad to have such an
article—giving also the results of rice
culture as compared with cotton, corn,
and other crops.
THE CLOSE OF THE YEAR.
This will probably be the last issue of
the Index for the year of Grace 1881.
Printers and editors must have
their holiday season as well as
other folks, and the publishers will
doubtless adhere to their custom of in
termitting one issue. In looking back
over the past twelve months, wise and
happy is the man who can say he has
made no mistakes,and foolish he who has
learned no lessons. The year’s record is
made up, and it is as useless to pine over
mistakesand resulting losses, as it would
be to “cry over spilt milk.’J Neverthe
less we should stick a pin here and there
as memory spreads before our view the
acts and doings, the triumphs and dis
appointments, the losses and gains of
the old year.
We shall never see its like again—the
same exact successions of season and
circumstances, in detail and entirety.
But if we are not watchful we may com
mit the same errors, be caught in tbe
same dilemmas, aud have the same
sins of omission and commission to be
sorry for at the close of another year.
We did not use the word sins in a moral
sense—a moment ago but we will not
change it, for our little talk has a moral
application as well, and may serve as an
echo to the wholesome admonitions we
may expect to find on the other side of
The Index.
Christmas should be a happy time, not
only on account of the wonderful event
it nominally commemorates, but because
in all Christian countries it has been set
apart for the meeting of friends, the re
union of families, the exercise of the
rites of hospitality, anithe eaio?n> it
of good cheer and innocent festivities.
Every arrangement should be made for
convenience and comfort —anticipating,
as far as possible, every provision there
to that, may be required—and let ordina
ry business and unnecessary labor be
suspended for a while, not forgetting
that deeds of mercy and beneficence are
peculiarly in place, and in them
selves provocative of the keenest pleas
ure. To one and all of our readers we
wish a merry Christmas.

SOUTH CAROLINA AGRICULTURE.
We have received a pamphlet of 136
pages, entitled: “Proceedings of the
Joint Summer Meetings of the State Ag
ricultural and Mechanical Society of
S iuth Carolina and the State Grange,
P. of H.,” and have examined it with
some care. The mere minutes of the
meeting occupy but a few pages, while
the remainder is filled with essays on
quite a variety of topics of interest to
the farmer. We do not r< member to
have seen, in a long time, a publication
of this character that was so full of in
teresting and profitable reading.
Georgia, the Empire State, must look
to its laurels in connection with agricult
ural progress and industrial develop
ment.
Our plucky little neighbor drank deep
ly of the bitter dregs of war and recon
struction, bu she has risen from her
once forelorn condition and taken a
prominent position in the march of
progress and the resuscitation of energy
and prosperity. We bid her God-speed
in her career and will rejoice in her
achievements in industrial progress.
SMALL GRAIN—CROAKING.
Mr. Editor: —Tn the six counties im
mediately surrounding that of the writer,
there is better preparing and more sow
ing of small grain than he has noticed
in thirty years past. And yet there is a
school of croakers amongst us who can
almost see starvation, with pale cheeks
and sunken eye-balls, standing at their
doors.
Now a few items of counsel to this
class: First, Live frugally until the sum
mer harvest is gathered.
Sec >nd, And, for the fear of a failure
in this coop, plant largely of sorghum;
and, if the worst comes, when the sor
ghum is ripe, grind tbe seeds and make
btead and with it sop the syrup, and
thereby bid defiance to starvation.
3. Quit croaking and go to work.
W. A. Overton.

[We commend the above prescription
those for whom it was intended.—Edi
tor.]
COTTON SEED MANURE.
Assuming that, on an average, 1,350
pounds of seed cotton make a 400 pound
bale of lint, the analyses shows that the
950 pounds of seed contain ten times as
iniicU soii.- irgredi s'tß as does the lint.
So he wli3“ wSKte.', or sells for a trifle
liis cotton seed, thereby deprives him
self of the chance of raising ten crops of
lint. This is literally and strictly true;
and it has been shown by actual experi- 7
ment, that when all the cotton seed has
been returned to tbe soil from the first,
the soil improves, instead of being dete
riorated by cotton culture; whareas, if
this is not not done, cotton is by far the
most exhautive crop that we raise at
the South, for the stalks of corn, the
corn, the straw of wheat, the vines of
the sweet potato, if removed from the
soil, deprive it of the equivalent of on
ly one crop, and that only a little over a
half of the amount of soil ingredients
contained in a crop of seed cotton. I
know no other crop that admits of main
taining the soil’s fertility with so little
outlay, and in whose cultivation the
omission to do so is so promptly fatal
to the soil’s profitable culture.
As to the best mode of applying cotton
seed as a manure, I have ascertained
that if the seed is killed by heating in a
pile, or buried so deep as to prevent its
sprouting, more' than three-quarters of
its ingredients remain inert tor the first
yeat; the hard hull preventing the access
of the roots ta the kernel. Again, it
looses important ingredients when fer
menting in a pile, It will, therefore, be
most profitable when applied fresh, and
either crushed, or so as to allow it to
sprout and then turn under. Hence
the great efficacy of the cotton seed cake
mtal, as returned from the oil factories.
And, considering the increased conven
ience of its application in that form, I
do not know that the exchange for fresh
seed at the rate of three to one, is not a
pretty fair one both ways. Unfortu
nately, few farmers ever get the meal
corre-potding to the seed they sell back
to their fields. Were the factories lo
cated in each agricultural district, so
that transportation would be inexpen
sive, the farmers might profitably let
them have the seed for nothing, on con
dition that the cake be integrally return
ed. The latter being less bulky and more
easily kept and applied than the seed,
and always available as feed for cattle,
whose manure will do as well on the
fields as the cake meal or seed itself.
Nothing is lost to the soil in the oil.
But so long as the seed, once sold to
the oil factory, rarely finds its way back
to the fields where it grew, I think the
interest of the farmers would be better
served by declining to sell at all, and
giving it in exchange for a correspond
ing amount of cake. Just as in Europe,
no one who rents land is allowed to
sell any of the manure made on it, so no
cotton planter can really afford to sell
seed at anything like the price paid at
present. If he does, he will soon have
to buy commercial fertilizers to keep up
his land, paying for the same ingredi
ents which he sold in his cotton seed,
justabout twicethe price he obtained
for them, at the rates mentioned by you.
By returning his seed, or the meal cor
responding to it, the hull is not of so
much consequence, he saves all the
freight charges back and forth, cost of
manufreture of fertilizers, packages, and
no end of commissions, etc.
It seems to me still, as I have fre
quently insisted heretofore, that co-op
erative oil factories in the large cotton
raising districts should pay admirably—
the oil paying interest on investment in

buildings and machinery, while the seed
cake would go back to ’ the fields in a
most efficacious condition, whether ap
plied directly or through the manure of
cattle fed with it. Thus a system of re
turns to the soil would be inaugurated
which would prevent the fearful waste
of lands that has alm >st desolated so
many of the fairest and originally fertile
regions of the South. And so soon as
the overfl >ws of the rivers are prevent
ed, even the bottom lands will follow in
the same ruinois track, unless a sound
er system of culture is generally inaugu
rated.
Very respectfully,
Eug. W. Hilgard.
SMALL NOTES.
—Fine butter can only be made by
churning at a favorable temperature. If
the temperature of the cream is too low,
the butter will be long in coming, and
will be hard in texture. If the temper
ature is too high, the butter will come
very speedily, but the product will be
greasy, destitute of grain, and deficient
in quantity.
—Green manuring, or the plowing in
of green crops for the purpose of enrich
ing land, is especially adapted for light,
sandy soils, which need humus to in
crease their retentive power.
Sheep husbandry in the Western
States and Territories is becoming one
of the most profitable industries of the
dav. Under proper management the
same might be said of other sections of
the country.
—When you see a horse’s head drawn
up by the bearing rein, and see him
stepping short and champing his bit,
and flinging foam flakes to the right
and left, tossing hie head and rattling
the harness, you need not conclude that
he is acting in the pride of his strength
and fulness of spirit; the animal is really
suffering agonies of pain, and is trying to
gain, by these movements, momentary
relief.
—The horse has the smallest stomach
in proportion to his size, of any animal.
Fifteen or sixteen quarts is its utmost
capacity. Horses are generally overfed
and not fed often enough. A horse’s
digestion is very rapid, and therefore he
gets hungry sooner than a man. When
he is hungry he is inefficient, and wears
out very rapidly.
Biographical Compendium. —This
work, History of Georgia Baptists, with
Biographical Compendium, ought to be
in tbe home of every Baptist in Geor
gia. It is a thesaurus of Baptist his
tory and a gallery of Baptist faces.
Full of incidents which ought not to
be forgotten, and gleaming with faces
and names the memory of which should
not perish. It has been prepared with
great care, and is the production of an
amount of mental labor that passes
conception. The fingers have been
weary, the brains have reeled, the heart
has grown sick, and the very spirit has
often drooped in getting this book be
fore the public.
It represents industry, enterprise and
a large investment. Ten thousand
copies ought to be sold in sixty days.
