The Old Letter.


From the Washington star
When all the world seems bountiful and
charming,
And there Isn't any cloud upon the sky,
How often do We hear the note alarming
OF an echo from the distant days sone

tstlon
And ali the world with promise seems
aglOw,
How often your citation

OF the letter that was written long ago.

With thoughts Of Indignation or of woe.

 Mr. Edgar Wells, our stock man, is as busy as cranberry merchant dipping his cattle and colts for ticks.
 One of our foremost young men of Blevins went to the phone the other night to have a talk with his girl, but there was another fellow talking to her, and it took men to apply camphor enough to keep him from fainting.

RICE IRRIGATION IN
 SOUTHERN LOUISIANA

A very interesting phase of the study of the underground waters of southern Louisiana is their utilization Tn the cultivation of rice by irrigation. m lSS6 lowlands near the bayous suitable for growing sugar cane. corn ana cotton could be purchased for S3'5O an acre, and the prairie lands back from the bayous could be bought for S1 an acre. With almost the first crop under irrigation, however. the values showed marked rise and have continued to increase. In the first five years the value of the best rice lands rose to S10 an acre, and soon af ter that it rose to $30 and even $50 an acre.
 The first people to plant rice in southern Louisiana, according to the United States Geological Survey, were the Acadlans, who, after their expul- sion from Nova Scotia by the Eng fish in 1755, settled in considerable numbers in Louisiana. Their culti- vation of rice, almost absolutely pri- Imltlve in it's methods, was confined to the lowlands along the bayous, the Iprairies atfording pasturage for the Acadians' herds of cattle. Few of the lowland areas admitted of satisfac- tory drainage, and they were too small for profitable cultivation. The crops frequently failed in years of de- Ificient rainfall. Attempts were made to create additional water supplies by building levees across low sags or cou- lees at points higher than the cultivat- ed areas, but generally either the rainfall proved deficient or the reser- yoirs were too small.
 Little advance was made over the Acadian methods until very recently. Experiments in unusually wet years had shown that the soils of the prai- ries were adapted to the growth of rice if sufficient water was at hand. This led to the trial of pumps as means of raising water from the bay ous to the rice fields. So successful was the test that pumps were at once Installed at many points, and in few years tens of thousands of acres of previously almost useless land, lying no to 70 feet above the bayous, were  but under cultivation.
 The first large pump was installed in 1894 on the Bayou Plaquemine, in Acadia Parish, near Crowley. AL though its failure at a critical time in- volved the partial loss of the crop, it showed that rice could be cultivated by pumping which has been gradually adopted on larger and larger scales until now in the larger plants batteries of pumps operated by compound Cor liss engines are in common use.

TELL IT TO THE MARINES.

New York, Nov. 13.-Listen, If you tell it to the Marines" be ouite sure you have it right, for that war; ing amphibian is not the credulous parsonage you have always supposed him to be. United States Marine Corps officers have traced the famous saying, Tell it to the Marines" to none other than our old friend Samuel Pepys, of the Diary renown, the ori- ginal first fighter" who tells us that the saying had origin with Charles II, the merry monarch of England.
 Ut so befell," the story goes, that his light-hearted Majesty, with an ex- ceedingly bored expression on his swarthy face, was walking in the shade with the ingenious Mir. Pepys. secretary to the Admiralty"
 q had speech yesterday at Dept ford" said MT. Pepys, with the Cap tain of the 'Defyance,' who hath but lately returned from the Indies, and who told me the two most wonderful things that ever l did hear in my life" Among the stories told were of fish flying in the air.
 "Fish flying in the air!" exclaimed his Majesty. "Ha, ha, a quaint con ceit, which 'twer too good to spoil we' keeping. What, sir" Che turned and beckoned to the Colonel, Sir William Killigrew, of the newly raised mari time regiment on foot, who was fol- lowing, in close conversation with the Duke of York; Eve would discourse with you on a matter touching your element. What say you, Colonel, to a man who swears he hath seen fishes fly in the air."
 q should say, sire" returned the sea soldier, simly, "that the man hath sailed in Southern seas. For when your Majesty's business carried me thither of late l did frequently ob- serve more flying fish in one hour than the hairs of my head in number
 Old Rowley glanced narrowly at the Coloners frank, weather-beaten face, Then with a laugh, he turned to the and said: "Mr. Pepys, from the very nature of their calling no class of our subjects can have so wide a knowledge of seas and lands ss the officers and men of our loyal maritime regiment Henceforth, whenever we cast doubt upon a tale that lacketh likelihood, we will tell it to the Mari nes-if they believe it, it is safe to say it is true"

OLD-FASHIONED SURGERY STILL
 USEFUL
D. Wheeler.

One of the curious facts discovered in the present war is that the modern young surgeons, accustomed to lm- mediate operations, antiseptics and |quick results, are unable to cope sue cessfully with those wounds where the patient has lain for some days between the lines without attentloh' and inflammation has set in.
 The British medical corps have met the situation by establishing a separate hospital at Calais for this class of injuries and celebrated American surgeon over seventy years of age. who had ten years of surgical experience before antiseptics were discovered, has gladly accepted the op- portunity to serve without pay and manage this hospital.
 This surgeon sailed recently to take charge, much pleased to feel that his age, instead of being drawback was the means of his still being useful to humanity.

STORAGE FOR COTTON

Washington, D. C.. Nov. 13.-It is very important, according to the spe- 6slists of the l.. $. Department of Agriculture, that all cotton that is not marketed when ginned should be stored or placed in a position where t will be protected from injury by
 moisture Where cotton is exposed to l nin it is subject to serious injury; i and where 1t i sheltered but left in contact with the wet ground it is like Y to become seriously damaged. It k frequently the ease that people do not realize the amount of damage that
 b done. In many instances cotton appears from tho outside of the bale to
 in fairly good condition, when it
 really badly injured inside due to
 1e fact that moisture has been al-
 hVed to penetrate the bale, thus caus-
 hg mildew,
 t IS not unusual, according to the
 Departments data for cotton to suffer ! loss of from S3.0o to 5000 per bale "A result of unnecessary exposure. At all times it should be kept off the ground and properly sheltered.
