Buffalo is truly the cleanest and finest
city in the United States, Or at least,
the finest l have ever visited. The
Public Library of Buffalo is very fine.
1t contains 5000 books, besides the

naturally bring to Buffalo during the
Exposition vast thrOnGs Of people, and
we will be very fortunate indeed to
have an opportunity to display our
products and resources here during
that time. We cannot afford to let
this opportunity slip by. 1t is said
that the North Carolina exhibit is the
second best exhibit of any state at the
Paris Exposition. but we can improve
on that even.

lover of North Carolina to kindly give
us his aid and influence il this impOr-
tant matter. W. +. PORTER,

RICE CULTURE.
A bonanza to Southern Farmers.
One of Its PccuIiuritics

Probably the greatest element in the
transformation of the industry of rice
growing from Il small and insignificant
beginning To what is recognized today
as one of the leading and best paying
Industries III the southern states may
be found in the extensive system of ir-
rigation that has been established in
the last few years. The most Sanguine
believers In rice culture never expected
to see the many inrxhauStiblc streams
and bayouS with which the prairie re
giOn aboundS and which connect the
large bodies of fresh water lakes and
bays lying close to the gulf coast util-
lied for irrigation purposes on account
OF the high lift from these streams,
which In many instances is from 20 to
20 feet In consequence thousands up
on thousands Of acres of high land that
We're supposed to be Inaccessible for
this purpose have proven to be Il DO
nanZa' to their owners. They have on
this account suddenly developed an i'll
trinsic value that readily places them
by the side Of the most valued agricul-
tural lands i'll the United States.
The difference between rice culture
and either agricultural pursuits is that
4 rice planter grows nothing else He
does not want tn do so. for the product
from one acre Of rice Will buy several
acres of corn. oats. hay. etc. There
fore he buys all of his fccdStutf except
possibly Il portion Of his rice straw.
which when properly saved and cured
is used instead of hay. The rice farm
er is not 4 competitor as regards any
other crop grown in our state. In fact,
he has gone on IL lands heretofore I'M
occupied. and. being Il good consumer
he is creating n market for great guam
titles Of corn, oats and hay. In fact.
he goes farther than this and buys
practically everything To cat and wear
He can afford to. Rice farming also
takes just that much corn and cotton
land from use for these crops and
pushes UP the notch of diversiiication
as regards this state.
The acreage In southeast Texas this
year will probably reach 60.OOO acres.
and preparations are now under way TO
Increase it To 100000 acres next year,
which will represent an output Of not
less than S3.500. 600 worth of rice. Ey-
cry indication points TO the mainte-
nance Of present prices. which are
quite satisfactory to the producers
Thousands of acres are rented to ten.
ants for crop rent. and there is no crop
grown that pays them SO well. There
is no road 10 home quicker than rice
farming. 1t is nothing uncommon for
tenants 10 buy their own farms with
the results of one years work. says
writer in Texas Farm and Ranch.

Kruser's Prophetic Pipe.

y curious story is told of President
Kruger, for which a Natal newspaper
is rcspon> bic. Many years ago the
president bought from an old half
breed woman peddlar amerschaum pipe,
to which She aScribed the power of fore
telling the future. The old woman
predicted that three important changes
in his life would be foretold by acct.
dents Detailing the pipe. Early in the
year 1881, before the independence Of
the TranSvaale was modified. the stem
came to pieces. a little before the

the Bloemfontein conference last year
the pipe fell to the ground and was
smashed to fragments.

Made soothing music TO his ear,
And naught Of WEAKNESS, nor SIN,
Nor woe. nor want could enter in,
No dread disease. no dull decay
Consumed his mortal fame away;

Wen known man of letters is staying in
company with a young writer CT triflets
at a somewhat primitive hotel. One fine
morning the former addressed the host
as follows: You would oblige me by
making your charges as low as possible
for my young colleague. He is not a rich
man. The landlord, delighted With the
presence in his house of the man OF re-
