This commrn but beautiful plant is familiar to everybody, and grows wild over our whole country. It. will grow in almost any soil and requires little in its cultivation. I shall endeavor to show in this article what a valuable plant it is, and whats profitable in- dustry may be made by small farmers who have waste lands that ,could be profitably used for its cultivation at comparatively little expense. There are over fifty species of sunflowers known, but [shall refer more particu- larly to the giant flowered Helianthus .Amiurns. It is supposed to get its name from its head turning to the sun, from east to west, every day, hence its French name, “ Toures;" or, more probably, it is from its resemblance to the old pictures of the sun surrounded by golden rays.

The assessor it has quite a respectable antiquity even FOR FANGY WORK” glanced at the ranr carpet doubtfully, in civilized countries. An acre ofland will contain 25,000 plants, at 15 to 20 inches apart. It has been found that they will produce from 80 to 100 bush- els of seed, that will yield from seven to eight quarts of oil to the bushel. The refuse of the seeds, after the oil is expressed, can be made into oil cake for fattening animals. The stalks when burned for alkali give 10 per cent potassa. As the sunflower exhausts the potash in the land to a great extent, the ashes would be valuable to return to the ground with manure. The green leaves make good fodder or can be used as en- silage. If dried and burned topowder, they are good to mix with beans for milch cows. The seeds are said to be more oleaginous than those of the flax plant, and combine all the qualities of the best olive oil. It can be used for lamps, and burns as well as sperm oil, without its smoke. Painters say it is superior to linseed oil, as it dries rapid~ ly and spreads easily. The stalks are full of strong fiber, like that of flax or hemp, and is begin- ning to be used in the manufacture of paper. Machinery» for all purposes has attained such excellence here, and much of it is so simplified and inexpensive, that machines for expressing the oil and separating the fiber can be produced at small cost. As the sunflower is less de~ pendent on the weather than many plants, it is well worth trying by those who have waste lands, and the returns are quick and pretty sure. . There is another item where this plant can also be made most profitably available. Wherever a field of sun- flowers is grown its owner should set up an apiary. It is one of the best bee pas- tures known. ‘Its numerous luscious nectaries yield an abundance of the best and most palatable honey. Anyone who has passed near a clump of sunflowers in full bloom must have noticed what a buzzing the bees kept up round them, and what a strong scent of honey they exhale. I trust that this information may induce many to give this culture a fair trial, and that we may yet see fields of sunflowers as common as those of cats or rye. The seed of the sunflower given to chickens in the winter answers as well as animal food for them, and helps to produce eggs early in the season when fresh ones are scarce. so profitable in '«every market. The young flower cups. when taken before the seeds are formed, and dressed like artichokes, are very palatable. One species, the H. tubernsa, a tall, wild plant, known as the Jerusa- lem artichoke, is also a useful plant when cultivated so as to increase the size of the tubers. They give a. whole- some vegetable, and will prosper where potatoes fail and makea good substitute. Thus it will be seen that the sunflower is one of the most valuable crops the farmer can raise on his waste land, as it will grow where other crops iail. _..__.___. - A Pasture Pointer.
