RICE LANDS WORTH MUCH.
In Twenty-Five Years Increased iron
Ten to Thirty Times in Value.

Horace Greeley to-day might be
tempted to amend his advice and sug:
gest to the young man to go south
says Country Life in America. Accord
ing to the government reports, the
rice industry has increased marvellous
ly since 1880.
The number of rice mills has in
creased 264 per cent; of capital 36a
per cent, and value of products lis
per cent. Land on the gulf coast o.
Texas and Louisiana, which Is years
ago sold for $3.50 an acre and was
sometimes held at rs cents, to-day il
worth $3.50, some lands being worth
$50 or $50 an acre.
The use of machinery adapted tt
rice production, the perfection of irri
cation, the study and application o!
the Japanese methods of rice growing
and the use of the Japanese rice have
made rice growing an exceedingly
profitable undertaking, and one tina
will undoubtedly be increasingly 'lu
crative with the rapidly growing popu
lation.

Long Time Till Morning.

A Manchester Comm young man
had a tired look the other morning,
and many thought he was i'll.
To friend he confided his story.
There was a baby in his house, only a
few months old. There is also a cat.
Sunday evening, as it. is the custom
each evening, the baby's milk supply
for that night was put on a stand in
place where it could be conveniently
got in the night. l.
About one a. m. that morning the
baby aWoke. The milk bottle was
empty and when fresh supply was
looked for on the stand it was found
there was no milk there. In a mo-

the milk hadsgone. The cat had come
into the room while they were asleep
and had drank it.
The baby cried the remainder of the
night, and he and his wife took turns
carrying the baby around the room
