THE SUNFLOWER. In spite ol the fact that the sunflower (Heliahthus animus) grows almost to perfection with little trouble in the majority of districts in this island, tlie economic advantages of its cultivation do not seem to have received proper consideration. One of the most valuable constituents of the plant is the oil which exists in large quantities in the seed. This oil is formed by direct synthesis in the progress of growth and does not extract, to any material extent, the fertilising constituents of the soil. Russia is one of the principal growers of the sunflower for commercial purposes, and annually exports to England alone 1,500,0001bs of oil extracted from the seeds. In America and also in Spain, and other countries of Europe the seeds are mostly used for poultryfeeding. They are eaten with avidity by all kinds of poultry, and are admirably suited for fattening birds for tho table. The seeds aro also used for their condimental and medicine properties. The oil is platable without any refining and .is suitable and acceptable for salad dressing purposes.- Chemical analysis lias shown that the oil cakes prepared from the residum of tho seeds after crushing have a. high nutritive valuo quite equal if not superior to that of flax, and of cotton-seed cakes, such as are more commonly used for cattle food. -
