Or a profit of $2.O7I a ton and
his press paid for, less small wear
and tear.
Mr.. Meyer informs us that at Ger.
tain seasons Of the year the price
of rice straw will rule as high rs
from So to So ton, but even to
insure Sc, 80 a ton great care must
be exercised in having the straw
thorough, cured and dry before
baling, and that even after baling,
when storing the straw, the bales
should rest on their long, narrow
side. and can be piled up in that
way in order to secure the greatest
surface exposure and therefore the
greatest ventilation possible.
The yield Of straw to the acre
varied with the conditions Of the
season this year it was one ton to
the acre, whilst last year it reached
rs high as two and half tons.
Now why is rice straw worth
St. 30 q ton: Mr.. Meyer informs
US that it gets its commercial value
from its use for the purpose Of ami
mails bedding aud packing, principal
Fly the latter; and for these purposes
he is Of the sanguine opinion that
its future demand will largely in
crease. He claims that it is freer
from dust aud mnch softer than
wheat or CAT straw, the two kinds
now most largely used, for fruit
packing. owing to the greater soft
ness. it will fit itself closer to the
fruit and thus Ike more effective
protection against cold. 1t can
also be largely used in the packing
of hardware, and Mr.. Meyer hopes
in the early future to see it utilized
by the paper mills in the manufac-
turc Ut their product.
All that rice straw needs il that
its commercial qualities should be-
come more widely known. and Mr..
Meyer is now ensleavoring tn make
arrangements whereby samples may
be sent to the large fruit packing
centers, such as New York, Char
lesion and elsewhere. When We
consider the recent history Of rice
bran aud rice polish, two by-prd
ducts Of the rice milling industry,
and note that the ventilating %
their virtues rs a food stun By the
newspapers has resulted in an in
crease in value from - and el2 81
ton las: year to SIC and S24 q ton
respectively this year. we can not
now express too sanguinely our
hopes for the future of rice straw
rs an agricultural product Of great
value.-Flaquemincs Protector.

RICE STRAW

One of the most enterprising Iic<
planters Of this parish is Mr.. Fred
Meyer. lie is also an intelligent
and progressive rice planter, rs the
following will show:
''Some two years ago Mr.. Meyer
bought the Carnarvon place, abou,
sixteen miles below the city Of New
Orleans, on the left bank of the
Mississippi river, and, under his
active personal management and
progressive spirit Of Improvement,
it has for two seasons blossomed
like rose. He has given some
slight attention to the cultivation
Of sugar cane. hut his main inter.
est has been concentrated in the
economic production Of rice; his
fields are irrigated by syphons, and
his rice is harvested by improved
reaping and binding machinery.
Not centent with the revenue to
be derived from the sale If rice
alone. he has turned his attention
to minting his by-prodncts. and like
the cotton planter with his cotton
seed. and the sugar planter with
his sugar house waste, is endeavOr.
ing to coin his rice straw into silver
dollars. From statements made
and figures furnished, he has sue
ceeded.
He purchased from the Whitman
Power Press Co, OF st. Louis, .
baling press at cost Of s575 de-
livered, and runs it simultaneously
by the same engine used for thresl-
ing his rice. Its capacity is . bale
Of from GO to ESQ lbs. every three
quarters Ut a minute, though the
weight he finds most suitable for
the trade ranges from 30 to 40 lbs.
Running his press in conjunction
with his rice thresller he has baled
ON an average. this year, twenty
tons . day, daily extra expense
Of $ll-that is, running the press
in conjunction with his thresher.
he states costs him Sill more than
il he had run the thresher BY
itself. His freight to New Or
leans cost him 81 ton. He con-
tracted with a merchant In that CITY
to deliver 200 tons of baled rice
straw at ST. 80 ton, and this season
delivered this amount. Bringing
this down to figures it would make
statement rs follows:

THE smuggling OF opium on the
frontier between the United States and
Canada is an iniquitous traffic that can
hardly be stopped while the extremely
high duty makes the business so profit
able. Either the duty should be re-
dpced, or better still, guards should be
stationed at the point where this SNUG
gied opium il disposed of, and the
snugglers be severely punished. Only
o poor cheap kind of opium comes in
this way but it is becoming SO album
,dant that it supersedes in many drug
stores tho better opium on which full
d1ty has been paid.

Mrs. MAUD b. BOOTH, commissioner
OF the Salvation Army, says there is
moro vice in London than in New
York, but in proportion to population
there is moro suffering in New York.
She thinks this comes from the fact
that there is the greatest commingling
of races in the world to be found in the
lower quarters Of New York, and tho
fact that so many can only talk q
strange language has much to do with
suffering. Vice reigns supreme among
the lower classes in London. The same
class Of English country folk are the
Purest people in tho world. She thinks
this difference is caused by the want OF
proper government Modern municipal
government, she says, put premium
on immortality. 1aas

THE only object which any man can
have in becoming skillful at his trade,
excelling in his ability to produce is
that he will be able to demand higher
price for his labor. There is no doubt
of the fact that some men are worth
moro than others. Where il is possible
20 have work done on the piece sys-
tenn each man gets paid according to
his skill and productive capacity, but
this system cannot be employed on all
classes OF work. AS general rule, q
good workman, one who is skilled ut
his trade and is working TO excel. new
or has any difficulty about finding en-
ployment, and seldom ever has occa-
sion TO complain OF his wages, and il
is question which all should carefully
consider, whether or not they are to be
benefited by joining trades union.

THE business of the great postofllces
approximates more nearly to n great
express company than to anything
else. 1t is a huge business, which
requires business administration, and
those postoffices are most successfully
managed which arc conducted by the
highest administrative ability. 1t is
surprising when the amount Of bust
ness is taken into consideration, how
few mistakes there arc in proportion to
the number of letters handled. 1t is q
fact that by far the largest percentage
of errors in delivery at our large post
Offices are caused by carelessness in
directing letters by those who address
them.
