give some ida of the milling quality
of rice.
With cleaIgrain and some knowl-
edge of millig qualities, the farmer
is still unpreared to sell, till he in
vestigates tn markets. The markets
are ordinarit determined by supply
and demand Supply is not only de-
termined by he crop produced, but by
the way it ism arketed. The market
is sure to loer when more is offered
mediate use, Or the millers send to
the market c6terS more than they can
readily absGb. Farmers break the
market by dipping their entire crop
at one time. A three million crop if
marketed whin three months after
harvest will:orge the market and a
lower avera, price than five million
crop placeds the market requires
j. e., delived in twelve months. A
surplus in e hands of the millers or
on the gene1 market at once weakens
prices, a sloluS in the hands Of the
producers Is but slight influence on
the marketrice if strongly held. The
inference that farmers should be
prepared tsell or hold, as the mar
ket demand This cannot be till the
farmer st0 borrowing money on the
pledge of 5 crop. If he borrows of
banker, bker or miller on the pledge
of his GRO he is not his own man;
but belonntO the man or company to
which he smortgage
Of courkthere are many exceptions.
If a man elnot do as he would, he
must do ale can. These statements
are made thout the least intention
to reflect any party who advances
money on crop. My observ alton is
that men 20 loan money have more
than the arage of honesty and fair
ness, or q they could not keep in
business;ut it is not good plan for
one classf men to have all the mon
ey and ather to own all the land
with no lney. They ought to go to-
gether al bhey will by a natural law.
Either trand men must own some
surplus Iney or the moneyed man
will soorIrn some surplus land.

GROW SOMETHING BESIDES RICE.
Views of Veteran Rice Grower on
the Question of Diversity.

Says the Crowley Signal: James
Ellis, of Welsh, arrived in Crowley
Thursday afternoon. AS a leading
rice grower and real estate agent who
travels over much rice territory and
who has done SO for many years, he
is an authority on practical rice ques-
tions-especia)ly as they relate to
Southwest Louisiana. ''There is"
said he. "going to be some loss from
grass and weeds becoming too album
dant in many rice fields this year. The
weS weather during the blowing sea-
son in number of cases produced
very unsatisfactory results. The idea
is rather common, that it makes no
difference what condition rice land is
id when plowed.
"Clay mud that is plowed in hot
weather will not produce crop of
rice. If the mud was turned over in
the fall when the weather was cool and
the wet season was to follow, the mud
would not be baked into sun-dried
bricks; but it is a different matter
when the mud is plowed in the hot
spring. The nature of last spring was
ssich that this sun-baked mud had an
opportunity to cut down the yield or

and the profit derived from it, On ad-
joining fields that started with like
conditions I had good opportunity
to make comparisons-to make con-
trasts would be speaking more accu-

while the adjoining field after being
in cultivation the same length of time
produced a low grade of milling rice.

Thos N Doutney, the well known and
popular temperance lecturer'has been a

past few days. Mr.. Doutney came to
the city by special invitation to address
the temperance legislative committee
in the Thursday afternoon. His adj
dresses followed that of Representative
Davis of Waterville, who presented the
bill in favor of resubmission. Mr..
Doutney strongly advocates resubmis-
sion and is utterly opposed to the pres

perance standpoint, in Maine and New
Hampshire. Mr.. Doutney is well
known throughout the eastern states
He anticipates holding series of meet

In December, Joe p. Weston, q
prominent member of Belgrade Grange.
and young man well-known in this
city. was selling some of his Augusta
friends tickets to the annual fair of the
Grange. One day while in Conyjs
blacksmith shop he sold one to Charlie
S. Leighton, who happened to be there.
Il cannot go to the fair and l never

ticket" said Mr.. Leighton. Upon this,
Mr.. Cony remarked, Il have dollars
worth of blacksmith work on that
ticket, and perhaps you will draw it,
OF course everybody laughed, and
when Mr.. Leighton was-notified after
the fair that his ticket had actually
drawn the blacksmith work offered
by Mr.. Cony he was the most surprised
man on earth. 1t was most re-

The joke is on Couvrette. Now, ev-
|erybody knows that Couvrette is the
proprietor of one of the local cabs, and
that he makes a speciality of night
work. 1t often happens in the course
of a year that Couvrette is called upon
to carry patients to the Insane hospital,
upon their arrival in the city, and he
always keeps his eye out for such
cases, for there is money in them. 1t
was not unnatural then, at the evening
train one day this week, when he saw
three men come down the station steps
arm in arm and beckon to him, for him
to think that the man in the middle
was a patient, and that the others
were taking him to the hospital. The
man in the middle had about two days
growth of whiSkerS, and to CouvretteS
eyes, in the darkness, looked decidedly
''bughouse." So he hustled them into
the cab and started for over the river
Everything went well until they were
crossing the bridge, when one of the
passengers poked his head out of the
cab door and exclaimed Say, where
the--are you going, anyway" ITO

dream of his boyhood days in Canada,
and pulled up his flying steeds. What

The Cushnoc Paper Co. will soon
increase it's output from about 20 tons
of finished paper daily to about %
tons. This will be one result of the in
stallation of the new large steam en-
CINE, rendering it possible to run the
machinery to it's full capacity. There
will also be an increase of a couple
tons daily in the amount of ground
wood pulp. The product of this COM
pany is shipped to all the corners of
the earth. Last week, two and one
half tons were shipped to Cape Town,
South Africa, which is only one of a
series of regular sales there. The fine
quality of the light weight MANILA
paper turned out at Augusta is what
enables the company to hold it's foreign
trade, and to feel warranted in in
creasing the capacity of the mill as
it is doing.
