"Never!" "I saw nobody I loved in York." "But, nearer home?" "Your tea is ready, Mr. Malcolm," said Mrs. Clarke at the door, and Malcolm obeyed the summons.

Well, the first necessity of protitnble rice calture is a compiuatively level piece of land, properly prepared for the seed. This field must be located so as to be conveniently ' irrigated from the prairie reservoir or the flume iu the lev?e. Highland rice does not pay in Louisiana, the only profitable rice being tbat grown in water. Water is the first and last wuut of sprouting, growing and ripening rice. Before the gr unci is ready for the seed it is divided up by a system of little levees aud watering ditches. It is then plauted in drills dug by machines?or, rather, I should say that the machine is the proper way to do it,but the seed is lrequently broadcasted with u<> iu Louisiana. "Thou comes tho most delicate part, iu the water manipulation. After the seed is planted the soil is thoroughly saturated wita water to sprout it, but the water is at once taken off wheu the seeds have evenly germinated, aqd kept oil until the tender shoots of the pluut rise two or three inches abovo the ground. You can easily see tbat the young plants may be either drowned out or dried up by the least inattention in regulating the How. On the other hand, wuli too much water, crawfish iuvado the field# and devour the delicate plauts, while with uoae at all, rice caterpillar* cut them down and kill them. If you neglect the maiu Hume you uot only risk the total lors of your crop, but by permitting the water to get ahead of you there may coato a break iu the level uud away go your cattle and crop*. "The u\o9t expensive part of rite growing couies when it is about a foot high, after it has been liberally watered; I menu the grassing of the rice. You see, the laborer* \yde through the rice, ?' V* xnmpr air thlBS^ ^ >u.ld( water grasses they find. This grassing cost* on an average about *1 au acre, aud after that is over the rice planter has but little to do except to give it plenty of water. One peculiar thing about irrigatiou it that the heads of the rice plants never fill out, 110 matter ho iv much water you give them artificinlly, unless there are plentiful rains. "One feature of rice cultivation would be great fun to city sportsmen, but it's a tumble uuisanet, tu us. I mean the birds. Talk about your ducks and geese hidiug the sun. 1'erfeci clouds of rice birds, English sparrows, summer ducks, rail and other fowl of the air nud water, couie to see if they can't harvest our crops for us. From daybreak to dark a perlect fusillade from the guus aud old uiuskets is heard in hundreds of square miles of country. Over in thin field you hear the shrill shouts of Creole farmers shrieking in Ifn'itfii patois; from the next probably the deep chested whoop of negro field hands, aud in nuothgr the liour-o yells of the new American rice growers?those who have co ne troni the great Northern wheat fields. It iSserenm! ?iioii!? wheep!? bang i-?? boom! ? boom 1 in the noisiest battle from dawn to dark that you ever hear. The rice birds are cur worst enemies, aud while we kill millions of them, lett to manure the fields, other millions come into take their places.

" I am a fanner, one of those who have to rise early and ' work late. At the beginning of last J Winter I was 011 a trip to the City ! ofVieksburg, Miss., where I got well j drenched in a shower of rain. I went home and was soon after seized ! with a dry, hacking cougli. This j ' grew worse every day, until I had to seek relief. I consulted Dr. Dixon who has since died, and he told me 1 | in uuuiL' i'i Jjunv. utt ^ VTViiuau I Syiup. Meantime my cough grew j worse and worse and then theGrippe ] came along and I caught that also , very severely. My condition then J compelled me to do something. I got two bottles of German Syrup. I began using them, and before taking much of the second bottle, I was entirely clear of the Cough that had hung to me so long, the Grippe, and all its had effects. I felt tip-top and have felt that way ever since." Pictek J.Drives,Jr., Cayuga, Iliues Co.. Miss. _ 41 F REE For Weak Men. ' > ll.oi: in? lultED.
