de nos neveux Sc noya, en- Sc baignant pres de

de laccident, nous dit comment celia etait
arrive, nous recommandant de ne pas le
pleurer, ct Dormant des instructions pour ses
funerailles. Je lui demandai sill voulat aller
annoncer So mort ses parents, avant qu'ils
lapprissent de nous; il dit quill lie ferait
Deux jours apres je lui demandai sill etait
ale il repondit: "Oui, mais lis prennent
celia pour un reve; lis sentent bien que
quelques chose m'est arrive, mais lis ne
csmprennent pas ce que cest.' -
Qaelques jours ensuite je luisdemandai en-
core, mais par un autre medium, sill await
etc chez lui. "Oui," me repondit-iI "i'ai
etc WI de ma mere, on de svotre mere"
je n'entendis pas distinctement.
lie premier de ce mois je suis allie svec ma
femme voir la famille du defunt qui demeure
a South Norridgewock (Maine) Nous ma
vions rien ecrit ct nous ne fines rien savoir
de ce que l'Esprit nous await dit, jusqu'a ce
qu'on nous edt appris ce que je yais rappor-
ter:
La seur de George s'exprima ainsi:
"J'eus un singulier reve an sujet de mon
frere, ayant que sa mort nous cut etc an
noncee; je savais bien que quelque chose lui
etait arrive, mais je ne pensais pas quill fnt
mort. J'ayais reve que je le yoyais au lit,
il me paraissait cndormi. je men etais ap-
prochee, ct je l'avais trouve mouizze ct t7oid
Je pavais secoue 81 longtemps pour tacher de
lie reveiller, mais sans y reussir que lie con-
tact de ce corps glace await rendu mes
mains tres-douloureuses,
Notre tante nous dit qu'en apprenant la
mort de George ellie await prize Dieu, sill
etait vrai que les Esprits peuvent commu-
niquer ayec nous de permettre a George de
Sc manifester a ellie, d moins quill ne f1t en-

rapport avec lui. Ce soir-la, vers minuit,
nous dit-elle. il vint ct Sc tint d'abord pres du
lit dams lequel ellie etait couchee il sap
procha advantage, des qu'elle l'eut apereu
mais alors ellie await eu peur ct ellie await dit
. son mari "Regarde, Ia y" Et aussitot
George await disparu.
Comme il est certain que ces nersonnes
ignoraient ce que pEsprit nous await dit, il
me semble que l'identite n est pas eontestable.

II resulte de cette culture un benefce enorme de
zoos fir 25 C. par hectare; resultat, f1til exa
gere il aurait encore de la marge pour faife une
bonne afaire.
Je lie crois un peu exagera, car NJ: Faure-d Es-
plas, dams lie detail du prix de revient ,omet de
eoHnpter la fumure dun hectare or, on salt que lie
sorsho doit etre range parmi les plantes don't la
culture epuise considerablement lie SOL En- outre,
les attelages pour la preparation de la terre sont
complies qua fr.; cest un prix auquei on trouve-
rait difficilement un atteage de beufs ct un abou
reur, meme a Castelnaudary.
1g5sPendant malgre ces observations, quand meme
IN naetrait les frais de culture double, ce qui
serait exageration contraire, cesta-dire
ss3 fr so CO. il resterait encore un benefe net de
pres de 600 fir. par hectare, ce qui est joli.
