<rs ADVERT:
THE OPIUM FARMER.
Th? Wr"ti Urti Hlii<ln?i Who ltomalna
I'oor. with Wealth Within Illa Gritap.
"Tho opium farmer of India live? und
labora with hut titree objects in view.
These are. Unit-, to decorate hi? wife pro
fusely with ornamento, to eat off n brasa
plato, and to bo in a position to niako a
great display when his eldest ?on la mar
ried. Aa far as the wife's jewelry is
concerned, that is a matter of religious
duty, tho Hindoo religion demanding
that certain ornament* must bo worn by
man jed women, aim the real wealth, if
wealth it may be called, of thc nativo
landowner la lila wife's jewels, and what
ever u hu- I ia n. h un ii can gain by bia pop
py culturo he immediately invests in
jowely, the sanio us tho Yankee fanner
plneea his money in bon'll and mortgage.
If tin? Indian farmer on marrying cannot
do any bettor in tho woy of jewelry, ho
must give the bride ho obtains lead or
naments. This keeps tho religious form,
but the very Inst year ho has been ener
getic OllOllgll to raise n good opium crop
the lead jewelry gives placo to silver or
gold. On tho marriage of his oldest aon
an Indian farmer will waste in a week's
jollification tlio entire snviugs of years of
privation.
"lt Ls u strange night to eoe tho nindoo
women ut work In tho Acids, gathering
poppy juice or picking weeds, decked out j
v ith huge gold rings, bracelets, anklets
and chains, und wearing but a single
short petticoat and a gay eolored wrap of
light texture. Tho wiuits of the Indian
ru int, UM thc farmer is culled, aro very
few und himplo. A thatched roof, cover
ing four confined mud walls, sholtera him,
Olid there uro famille.; who have lived fox
hundred., of years, generation after gen
eration, ill tie.' i ame hovel like honni
stead. Tho fanner's ault of every day
working clothes is a verv scant cloth
fastened about lue loins. Iiis 'dross up'
suit ti a big cotton ahect folded about
him. Hts 041 tiro family, from himself
nou n to th?; stnallest child ho owns, that
Ls not too small to crawl almut among
tho poppy plant? and know tho difference
between u weed mid a poppy, share in tho
toil of rho field. Tho small children aro
clothed just as they came into tho world,
nnd appear comfortable, no matter how
liol Hui sun shines or how low tho tetn
pornturo may fall-and in November,
December. January and February, when
tho bulk of tho Held work Ls done, tho
woather ls quito cold enough for at least
Bummer clothing.
'.These happy go lucky tillers of tho
soil depend entirely on the government
to keep them going year after year in tho
matter of farming. Thus tho govern
ment advances tho poppy seed that ia to
IK' sown, loans the. money by which tho
land Ls irrigtibsl and tho bullocks pur
chased to carry on the work. Tho cul
tivator will not till more of his laud than
he can manage without other help than
hi, own immediate family, and, conse
quently, a patch lensed U> any ono farmer
that la half 011 nero in extent is lui excep
tionally large holding. Tho one-twentieth
of on acre, enfled a bigka, is tho favorite
quantity of land for a fumier to seed
down with [Hippies, but ho will put in a
tenth or u six'Ji on a pinch. There aro
untold advantages lu tho growing of
opium for extended enterprise, but ?10
raiat will not es/pend tho smallest Indian
coin lo acquire the/to advantages, tuid
