Mr.. Robert Conrad, the intel
ligent and expert rice planter Of
this parish, has just come in from
a tour Of observation with respect
to the rice crop of our parish. He
is well calculated to give u reliable
estimate of the crop conditions,
which he states are fifteen per cent
below the normal crop, owing to
the continued drought and numer-
Gus annoyances caused by imper-
feet machinery, unreliabiilty of the
new fuel supply, the yield of rice
will be cut down to that figure.

FRUIT CULTURE.

That our claims regarding the
raising OF fruit are not extravagant
we note that Mr.. Mic Muller has
brought to this Office specimens of
plums of the Botan Chinese va
riety. A beautiful, purple, lus-
cious fruit some 81 inches in
diameter, of fine flavor, the flesh
being of a greenish color, perfect,
without a flaw of any kind. The
tree from which this fruit was
taken was we'll laden and has
quite history, having been plant
ed by the venerable Richard Frot-
scher some ten years ago, and
transplanted after its third year,
bearing fruit once, to the home OF
Mr.. Muller across the bayou, 10
cally known as Brooklyn. Mr..
Muller has been successful in
grapes, peaches and other fruits,
but remarks very sensibly that a
person to have fruit must be will
ing to work for it. Fertilization,
selection, spraying with insecti-
cides, scraping and cleaning must
be vigilantly kept up and success
is sure to follow, with one half the
vork and intelligent effort of
the California fruiterer, we could
astonish ourselves and the whole
world.
In this connection we wish to
say that Mr.. l.. s. Frere brought in
from his farm an apple fully
ripened, with beautiful stripes of
white and red, but Of rather irreg-
ular form, showing that the growth
Of the tree had been retarded and
neglected. Mr.. Frere informed US
the tree was IL or Is years old,
and had never been pruned or
cared for, for ten years. Under
such circumstances the wonder is
that the tree lived at all, much less
produce any fruit. We would be
pleased if any Of our readers hav-
ing specimens Of fruit of any kind
would bring same in that we may
notice it in these columns and lei
the world know what we have
without any effort to produce.

A Home Picture.

Oh! the happy little home when the sun shone

And the busy little mother got the children all
about;
And Johnny fetched the water and Tommy
brought the wood
And Billieboy tied both his shoes as every
ladGie should
And Danny rocked the cradle with a clatter and
SONG, -
To make the little sister grow so pretty and SO
strong.
oh! the sweet peas and the morning glorjes
climbing round the door,
And the tender vine Of shadow with its lenotb
across the floor.
Oh! the pinies. and the roses, and the culver
OF the grass,
And the CHEEKY call Of friendship from the neigh
bors as they pass!
Oh! the scuffie, and the shouting and the little
mothers laugh
AS a rabbit starts up somewhere and her ''ereat
helps scamper off.
Obi the happy little home when the twilight fell
And all along the meadow rang the old cow bell
With tinkle that is music through the rushing
of the years
And 1 the little mother in the tremble of the
tears.
And l hear her happy laughter as she cries:
The boys have comet
And we know she's getting supper in the happy
little home.
OIL the happy little home when the moon
CLEANED forth.
And Billy-boy would have it that it "rised in the
north
oh! the raptures and the whispers near the little
mothers chair
here and there.
And just to heaven as mortals
roam,
When we lnelt and said our prayers in the happy
little home.

MI Carstairs saw beyond any possibility of
mistake that Lady Laura's head was on
Mr.. Fraser's shoulder and that Mr.
fraser's lips were pressed to her hair.
What sound or movement escaped him
Mr.. Carstairs did not know. A muttered
oath came from the man, a choking cry
from the woman. And then as Lady Laura
lifted her head and saw her stepson's face
she suddenly stretched out her hand to him.
"Oh. my dear boy, don't-don't!'' she
said. It's ali right. We loved each other
ever so long ago. only we were foolish and
young and didn't know it. And now-and
now-he's going to take me off your hands,
| Evelyn. Aren't you glad?"
Mr.. Carstairs caught at the summer
| house for support.
But isn't he-isnt she-who is Mrs.
Fraser" he demanded
The man laughed.
My good fellow, as you've got one of
your own you might have guessed" he
said. "She is my stepmother. Now, couldn' t
you go?"
But Mr.. Carstairs had already gone-to
find the other stepmother.
