" Swearing nv Telephone

It is a Enable offense in st. Louis to
swear through telephone. Now, it is
usual. when man feels disposed to
make the wire warm with blasphemous
expressions, to just hang up the re-
ceiver and then give full play to his
indignation. This avoids a fine, saves
the wire, and the man at the other end
does not know what il going on.

A MOST PROFITABLE CROP.
Rice One of the Most Profitable
Crops Where the Conditions are
Favorable For Its Culture,

Rice is one of the most profitable
crops that the American planter can
produce. We raise in the United
States only one-half of the rice that
we consume, and our consumption
would be increased ten-fold if our
people could be assured that they
were eating clean American pro-
duct. grown by American labor on
American soil. Rice is more nutri-
tious than wheat flour, and when
properly cooked Is an appetizing and
inexpensive food. The demand for this
crop is, therefore, practically unlimit-
ed, while the supply will always be lin
tied, because there are only few mil
lions of acres of land in the United
States that are suitable for rice grow
ing.
Experts say that we produce the
best rice in the world, and recent
investigation by the Department. of
Agriculture has brought to light the
remarkable fact that the actual cost
Of labor per acre for producing it is
less in the United States than in
china or Japan, Notwithstanding our
wages are ten times as high. In
Louisiana and southeastern Texas.
where the twine-binding rice harves-
ter and other improved implements
and machines are used, it appears
that the cost Of labor per acre is
only $2.2S TO $2.70. Wages are high
from $50 to s2l6 per year,; but

National Farmers, Congress.

The next annual session Of the
Farmers national congress will be
held at Macon, Ca, on the 7th, sth
and 9th of October next, and the
good people of that state are making
great preparations for the occasion.
This important body of able men are
capable of doing much that will re-
dound to the benefit of American ag-
riculture. In our opinion, however, a
mistake has been made in the consti-
tuition of the body. The members are
appointed by the governors of the
different states, and these governors,
being politicians, and many of them
having very dull axes to grind will
place their appointments with view
to revolving the stone, and for the
good of agriculture as secondary
consideration. Under such circum-
stances it can not be expected that
the body will represent farmers and
farming as fully and as exclusively as
the Texas farmers congress, which
is composed of delegates selected by
the various agricultural organiza-
tions, for their fitness for the posi-
ton. The agricultural, horticultural
and live stock associations select
their best, ablest and most success
full members, and send them to Col
lege station, and of such is the Texas
farmers congress composed. Under
no conditions can a governor who is
not farmer, or if a farmer, is more
politician, choose as wisely dele
gates to an agricultural congress, as
can the farmers who have organized
for the purpose of advancing their
interests.-Texas Farm and Rancher.

where wages are only $40 to SIS per

where wages are only SO to SIS per
year, q man averages half an acre;
making the cost of labor $40 to $50
per acre, or ten times as much as the
cost in the United States. In China
a man cultivates one-half to two and
one-half acres, and his wages are So
to $40 per year. This great difference
in cost in favor Of America is due en-
tirely to the use of labor-saving ma
chimes. We prepare the soil with
American plows and harrows, the
seed is drilled in with wheat drills,
and the crop is harvested with q
twine-binding rice harvester.
Lands along the south Atlantic and
gulf coasts, which in many cases are
now considered worthless, will prove
gold mine to their owners when cul-
tivated in rice. The crop yields all
the way from eight to thirty barrels
per acre, and sells for So to SIS per
barrel, depending on the care the
planter has shown in producing a
high quality of grain. The profits
on single crop will usually cover all
the outlay necessary for an irrigating
plant; and aside from the expense of
irrigation rice costs but little more
per acre than wheat.
A peculiar condition of soil is re-
quired for growing rice successfully
and proftably. The land must be
level, with surface soil, preferably
OF clay or mixed loan and clay, and
fairly fertile. It must be underlaid
with subsoil of clay that is imper-
vious to water, because the land must
be kept flooded during the growing
season, and clay subsoil is neces-
sary to hold the water. There must
be an abundant supply of soft water,
and canals or bitches to carry it on
the land with pumping machinery to
raise it, unless it can be brought from
higher level by gravity. An outlay
OF IS to $25 per acre is generally nee
essary for levees, canals and pumping
machinery, but there is propably no
agricultural investment in America
that will pay more certain or profita.

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

1t IS said that Lord Rosebery has
written novel, but has decided to
put it aside, for 8 time at any rate,
fearing that the publication might
injure him in his political career.
Harriet Beecher Stoves ninetieth
birthday was celebrated by negro
residents of San Francisco in the old
church on Stockton street, from the
very pulpit where the patriot, Thorn
as Starr King, preached 40 years ago
to hold California within the union
and against the extension of slavery.
Theophilus Fl. Porter, for 46 years
q newspaper carrier in Lynn, Mass,
retired from business recently, hay-
ing made enough money to keep him
comfortably for the rest of his life.
In all that time he has walked about
Is miles every day but Sunday, when
he went to church regularly, as he
does not believe in Sunday papers.
When Kitchener took command in
South Africa he was asked for an
opinion as to when the war would be
ended. "When we have whipped the
Beers, was his answer. Some months
later this was his answer to the same
question: when the Beers learn
that they have been whipped" To-
ward the close of the long struggle
he put it in this way: when we
have found a feasible way to recon-
cile the Beers to being whipped"
Mrs. Humphrey Ward, the writer
of at least half dozen books, each
of which would have rendered her
famous, was born at Hobart, Tas-
mania, on June II, 1881. She is a
granddaughter of DIR. Arnold, the
great headmaster of Rugby, and a
niece of the late Matthew Arnold.
She began work by writing many
magazine articles and a series of es-
says on Spanish Biography" Her
first book was published in 1881.
Though close upon 10 years of age
Mr.. Barring Gould, the author of more
books than any living Englishman, is
as upright to-day as he was 30 years
ago. He attributes this erectness to
his invariable custom of writing at
high desk in standing position. Mr..
Gould always writes with quill pen
and his manuscript is not beloved by
printers. AS a relaxation from lit
erary work Mr.. Gould, like the late
Mr.. Gladstone, often spends couple
of hours chopping down trees.

HERE AND THERE.

The most important thing in sue
cessful dairying, is dairyman who
understands the business, and who
has an inclination to put his knowI-
edge into practice.
On an average Angora goats live
about twelve years, and in their prime
between the ages of two and six
years. They have been known to
breed when Is years old, however.
In feeding mixture containing
bran often the fowls will eat all of it
but the bran. This indicates that they
are not as hungry as they ought to
be, and the remedy is to feed less.
No stock on. the farm is paving
better profit now than good
horses" says the Farmers Guide. We
can't see how a farmer can get along
at all with mo stock on the farm"
The department. of agriculture
will have experimental tea culture in
operation in Texas next season. Tex
as can produce anything not prohibit
ed by latitude. Tea is not so prohib-
tied. Ergo, Texas can produce tea.
Beans fully matured, but not yet
hardened, If planted in that condition
will terminate more rapidly than
cured beans. This is a special ad-
vantage in summer and fall planting
when quick termination is desirable
on account of probable dry weather.
Many a WORKOUT field can be re-
stored to a good state Of fertility
without the application of fertilizers.
Crops can be grown and methods of
cultivation applied that will do the
work. But the labor can be lessened
and time saved by intelligent fer
tilizing.
Now for the fall garden. There is
a probability Of more dry weather
during the summer and fall, but he is
a wise man who takes the chances,
for if failure attends July planting
the ground will be in better fix for
August or September, and the labor
and cost of seed will be fully COM
pensated for.
-Angora goats Of both sexes will
often breed when not more than six

should not be allowed to breed before

teen months. Kids from younger ami.

itself numerous in the United States the

mented with it as food. The locust was
served broiled, in plain stew, and milk
stew, and also fried IN batter. One enthu-
