JUNE.

And what is so rare as day in June?
Then, If ever, come perfect days;
Then heaven tries earth if it be in tune,
And over it softly her warm ear lays.
Whether we look, or whether we listen,
We hear life murmur or see it glisten;
Every cloud feels stir OF might,
An instant within it which reaches and towers
And, cropping blindly above it for light
Climbs to soul in grass and flowers.
The flush of life may we'll be seen
Thrilling back over hills and valleys;
The cowslip startles in meadows green,
The buttercup catches the sun in its chalice,
And there's never a leaf nor a blade too mean,
To be some happy creature palace.
The little bird sits at his door in the sun,
A-tIlt like blossom among the leaves,
And lets his illumned being o'errun
With the deluge of summer it receives;
His mate feels the eggs beneath her wings,
And the heart in her dumb breast tlutters and
sings,
He sings to the wide world. she to her nest
In the nice ear of nature, which song is the best?
Joy comes, grief goes, we know n t how;
Everything is happy now;
Everything is upward striving.
IT'S as easy now for the heart to be true
AS for the grass to be green or skies to be blue
It's the natural way of living.
Who knows whittier the clouds have fled?
In the unscarred heaven they leave no wake,
And the eyes forget the tears they have shed,
The heart forgets its sorrow and ache;
The soul partakes the seasons youth,
And the sulphurous riffs of passion and woe
Lie deep meath a silence pure and smooth,
Like burnt-out craters healed with snow.

The cloud burst at Hepner, Or
egon, last week was one of the
most distressing calamities that
has ever occurred in this country,
and will 60 down into history as
a rival of the Johnstown and Gal
weston disasters. 1t is now stated
that mole than five hundred per-
sons were drowned and that their
bodies are strewn for miles up
and down the valley of the little
creek on which the town was To-
Gated. There were not sufficient
number of men left in the village
to bury the dead, and appeals for
help were sent out in every
direction.

Judge l.. Brame is meeting
with great encouragement in his
race for Attorney General. The
fact that the incumbent of this
Office is required to represent the
State and all county or municipal
corporations in all causes before
the Supreme Court, and that he is
to pass upon the constitutionality
and legality of all charters, and to
give his opinion to various Off
GERS upon legal questions when so
requested, the Office is one of the
most important within the gift of
the people. 1t is not in any sense
political, but its functions are to
a great extent judicial in their
character, and Judge Brame
measures up to all of the require
ments, besides being a man of the
highest moral character.

and able campaign for Governor
of Mississippi. During the cam
paign not single word has ever

NEW SCHOOLLAW.

The new school law admitting
children from 7 to 17y ears of age
in public school went into effect
July /. State Supt. LeFevre says
it is incumbent upon all districts
to admit children Z years of age to
the public schools free during the
coming school year, although they
are not enrolled. The fact that the
law was not in force when the cen
sus was taken precluded their en-
rollment, but when the law becom-
es effective they are thereby EMIT
led to free education the same as
those enrolled under the former age
limit Of S to Il. In addition to adj
hitting the : years children, no
public free school money will be
appropriated for thsm, but they are

TEXAS. WHEAT CROP.

The report of the Department Of
Agriculture just issued gives the
wheat crop of Texas for 1903 rs
1S.OS4,00O bushels, or an average
WELD per acre of 134 bushels The
above yield is one bushel more
than the average for the United
states. The yield for 1902 was APP
proximately 100000 bushels,or S
bushels per acre, which shows an
immense increase in the total yield
for the State of Texas.
The rice condition for Texas is
phenomenal, showing 81 per cent,
or just .O3 per of 1 cen cent below
a perfect crop. The acreage in rice
in Texas this year is estimated at
100000 acres against 10000. in
1902, and the probable crop for 49,
U3 VIII be from Two 10 TWO ana one
half million barrels, or about 10
barrels to the acre. Last year the
average yield was about s barrels
to the acre. The Southern Pacific

HOW TO STACK RICE.
BY H. L. CARY, JENNINGS, LA.

BY II. L. CARY, JENNINGS, LA.
The most important points about
shocking rice is to avoid low places
In the fields and to make shocks so
they will not fall down. The shocks
should be oblong with an air space
through the center. If such shock
is properly built, it will stand
frmer and shed water better than
any other shock 1 know of, and the
rice will cure more quickly.
l have found the following to be
the hest rice shock: Set eight bundls
two and two, the butts little
apart and the heads drawn to-
gether; then three bundles more on
each side of the eight. This makes
an oblong shock with both ends
open. to allow the air to circulate
freely through the center. Put on
two cap .heaves lengthwise of the
shock, heads to the center and the
head of one sheaf overlapping that
Of the other. This makes shocks of
uniform size, each containing
sixteen bundles.
Gaping saves the rice from sun
cracking; and if properly dons, will
shed rain and keep the rice dry.
unless the field becomes flooded.
Spread the cap sheaves so as to
cover the heads of the rice as much
as possible.
II ;he wide leyees are used. the
rice shonld be shocked on them as
far as possible, even to the extent
Of hiring extra help to carry
bundles to the levees. Everything is
to be said in favor Of ii and moth
ing against it.
