THE FUN OF CAMPING OUT

where one can make these trips there are
thousands who cannot. For there are

MODERN RICE GROWING.
Scientific Methods Employed by Rice
F3rmerc

Modern ideas and systematic methods
attend the culture of the grain from
seedtime until it leaves the field to be
sorted and prepared for the market.
The grower may till 50 or 5000 acres
but about each tract the bank of earth
is carefully thrown up by the ditching
plow, frequently ''tamped'' Oh the inside
with spade and shovel to prevent leak
age. The horse drill and cultivator can
be used in seeding. while burrows are
for wheat or oats.
Water flows upon the shoots when a
few inches out of ground: and until har-
vest time in early autumn the country
is turned into a series of lakes, for the
plant roots must be continuously sub
merked, three or perhaps four months, to
4 depth Of two or three inches
Every acre is great sponge absorbing
$4,000 to $4,000 gallons every twenty
four hours. yet when the grain nears ma
turity, and the water. is drained from it,
evaporation is so rapid that the farming
machines can pass over the fields without
difficulty in few days. Then the scene
is striking typical Of harvest time in
Kansas or the Dakotas.
No less than 5000 harvesters, actually
doing the work of 100000 men. sweep
through the mile after mile of golden
stalks, for by few alterations, the
mechanism which cuts and binds the
sheayes of wheat ready for the stack
without human aid has come to the as.
sistance OF the rice growers. The steam
thresher, following. converts the chat
and straw into mammoth stacks. pouring

THE SOLDIERS PRAYER.

Near the camp-f,re's Pickering light,
In my blanket-bed lie.
Gazing through the shades Of night
At the twinkling stars on high.
Ger me spirits in the air
Silent vigils seem to keep,
AS ! breathe my childhoon's prayer,
Now l lay me down to sleep"
Softly sings the whip-poor-will
In the boughS OF Wonder tree:
Laughingly the dancing rill
Swells the midnight melody.

In the canyon dark and deep;
Low l breathe in Jesus ear,
II pray thee, Lord, my soul to keep"
Mid those stars enc face I see
One the Savior took away
Mother. who in infancy
Taught my l'aby lips TO pray.
Her sweet spirit hovers near.
In the lonely mountain brake:
Take me to her, Savior dear.
IF I should die before l wake"
Fainter SLOWS the Pickering light
AS each ember slowly dies;
claintively the birds of night
Fill the air with satidening cries.
Over me they seem to cry,
You may no more awake"
Low l plead: If / should die.
