UPLAND RICE.
Correspondent Sonthorn World.
I Lave been quite successful in the
culture of upland rice on my place
here. On my best land I have grown
it at tbe rate of ninety-three and one-
half bushels per aero. The common
impression-that it requires damp land
is erroneous, as my best yield was on
land which was as dry as any of my
Valley farm. I prepare the land
thoroughly in the spring, plowing
deep, and if the land is disposed to be
cloddy, harrow well after plowing.—
Lay off in shallow drills twenty-foor
or thirty inches apart, and cover
lightly. Sow the seed os soon as the
danger of frost is passed. In the first
woriUDg great care must be taken to
remove all grass and weeds, as the
rice plant is delicate. Afterwards,
good booing and plowing with a nar
row bull-tongue plow is all that is
necessary. In the fall, see that nono
of these little morning glory vines
which infest our bottoms are ullowed
to remain in tbe drills, as it is impos
sible after catting to separate the
.vines from the rice straw, and the
seed being black injures the appear
ance of tho rice.
Tbe experience of the past few
years has fally demonstrated tbe fact
that by far the most profitable em
ployment for the farmers of Southern
Georgia is the cultivation of the
white or highland rice. The writer
has tested the matter fully, both by
experience and observation. While
this variety of rice flourishes best in a
wet alluvial soil, producing as large a
yield under such circumstances as the
Carolina “golden,” yet it does remark
ably well on ordinary uplands, which
are usually devoted to the growth of
the cereals or cotton. Indeed, it may
be stated as a fact that any land how
ever elevated or sandy, that will make,
unassisted, say from eight to twelve
bushels of corn to tbe acre, will easily
produce from fifteen to twenty-five
bushels of rice with tbe same cultiva
tion.
The only difference between tbe up
land and Carolina rice exist in the out
er covering or hall of the grain, which
is of a pale light color in the former,
and a bright yellow in the latter. In
weight, vitality and excellence, as an
article of food, the one is equal to the
other. .
Upon corn pr cotton upland plant
ing Hbould begin about the 20th of
March, and may continue with suc
cess as late as the first of June.
By way of preparation simply flush
np the ground with a turning plow,
and smooth the surface, if possible,
with an ordinary wooden harrow.—
Then, with a narrow scooter, open the
trenches two feet asunder, and apply
in the drill any fertilizer that may be
provided. If the soil is high and dry
the seed, in small handfuls, say thirty
to forty grains, should be deposited
at intervals of fifteen or eighteen inch
es, to allow the free passage of the
hoe in cultivation. Cover with a board
as yon would cotton. Where the land
is low and strong, especially if, by ly
ing fallow, the crab grass has been
exterminated, tbe seed may bo drilled
at the rate of about one and one-half
bnshels per acre. Thns treated, fifty
bushels may be easily made in an an-
verage season.
Cultivate land with frequent plow
ing between, and keeping the hills
free from grass or weeds.
No crop is more easily made or will
prove as remunerative. With equal
seasons, and planted side by side with
corn, the rice will prodace doable the
yield of corn, and is worth in tho
rough state, fally a third more in the
market. The writer has seen forty
bushels producodjon the light sen is
land cotton lands on the sea coast of
Liberty county.
He has also cultivated the rice as
yon would peas, in the middle of corn,
where tho soil was low and moist,
raising a fall crop of corn and fifteen
bnshels of rice to tbe acre. In the
latter case the rice received a thor
ough working after the blades of corn
wore removed for fodder.
The rice straw, if protected from
the weather, famishes good provi
der for sheep, horses and cattle, and
oftentimes in a wet season, the stub
ble will pnt forth a second growth,
which can be ent when green and
oared, making the very best of hay.
Rice and oats should be staple crops
in Georgia and both can be success
fully cultivated from the base of onr
mountains to the sonthorn borders of
tho Commonwealth.
Advice to a Young man.
Yon want to remember, my son,
that wearing twenty-two inches of
coat propped oat across only sixteen
inch shoulders doesn’t make a gym
nast of yon by any means, and more
than a straight back, a measured step
and a Burnside hat with a cord and
acorn give yon a war record. There
have been yonng men, aye, and old
men too, before your time, who owed
the tailor for their chest and shoul
ders, and owed them a precious long
time, too. There have been yonng
men who could waltz for an boor and
sixty-eight minntes without onee sit
ting down to rest, who oooldn’t saw
enongh wood to warm a flannel eake,
not if starvation stared them in tbe
face and tried to drive them to it.—
Don’t worry about yoar shape, son—
Men will admit yonr crooked legs if
yonr trowsors are paid for, and if yonr
back is so lop-sided that yon have to
keep yonr helm hard-a-port all the
time to keep from walking around the
block to starboard when yon want to
go straight ahead, yon never think of
it if yon don’t owe for tbe coat that
ties in snob ungainly, honest wrinkles
across it. The man who doesn’t owe
a dollar js a rich roan, even if he has
not a crust to eat in the honse. And
don’t borrow. Ir yon can’t get along
without having more than you’ve
got, don’t borrow—steal. Yoall feel
better abont it, and, as a general
thing, yon will be more respected and
less tormented.

CLIPPINGS FOR THE CURIOUS,
The first grain elevators of Ameri
ca were built in Chicago eleveu years
ago.
A life of General Grant has been
printed in Japan. It is seven vol
umes in length.
Southern Russia is tbe obief source
of tbe salt supply to tbe other govern
ments of tbe empire.
The farm animals cf Great Britain
represent abont one-half the total
value of those of the United States.
The national library of Mexico is
reported to be in a deplorable state,
thonsands of books lying abont in
confusion.
Mounds have been found in the
Pyrenees as distinct in their resem
blance to animal forms as any Ameri
can moands.
The pine needles of the Silesian for
ests have been converted into forest
wool, wbieb, besides being efficacious
in cases of rhenmatiam, can be cnrled,
felted and woven.
The edible oyBter attains its full
growth only in tbe waters of the
American coast, and its representa
tive in Great Britain dwindles down
to a small, coppery-colored bivalve.
A fall font of Japanese type com
prises 50,000 characters, of which 3,-
000 are in constant nse. Each word
having a distinct character, the tele
graph is useless, bat tbe telephone
will be a blessing.
A new geyser has been discovered
near St. Etienne, France. A vein of
hot water was tapped at a depth of
5,000 feet, and the result is an inter
mittent fountain throwing a stream to
a height of nearly one hundred feet
above the surface of tho earth.
A mineral spritig in Arkansns,
whose water tnrns os red as blood
when confinod in a bottle, and an oil
well in Hentncky, from which flows
an abundant supply of refined petro
leum, all rpady to prodnce a pare and
brilliant flame, are among the new
wonders of tho country.
For the photography of birds in
their different positions in flying, M.
Marey employs an instrument, like a
rifle in shape, giving twelve successive
images per second. These views fur
nish an analysis of the motion of
birds in flight whiob could not be ob
tained before the perfection of the
process of instantaneous photography.
The megapod of the* East Indies
bnilds an artifiioinl mold in which its
eggs are deposited to be hatched.—
Tbe-monads are sometimes fourteen
feet high, with a circumference of 150
feet, and the decay of the vegetable
matter of which they are composed
produces a warmth sufficient to hatch
the eggs.
So microscopically perfect is the
watch-making machinery now in nse
that screws are cat with nearly Bix
hundred threads to the inch—though
the finest used in tbe watch has two
hundred and fifty. These threads
are invisible to the naked eye, and it
takes 144,000 of the screws to weigh
a pound, their valae being six poands
of pare gold.
A new method of preserving meat
is to cause the heart of the animal to
pump borucic acid into the tissues.—
For example, a sheep,is stunned by a
blow, aud blood being withdrawn
from tbe left jugular vein, a strong
solution of boracic acid, kept at blood
heat, is injected. The heart of the
still living animal qniokly pomps the
antiseptic fluid into all parts of the
body, and the sheep is then killed by
tbe bntcher in tbe nsoal way. The
coBt is slight, and tbe meat thus treat
ed will keep several wcoks in tbe
heart of summer.
Taking the Romance out ofan riEstliet-
le Yonng .Han.
He was a romantic youth, and when
he heard of the sweet old custom of
hanging May bnskets, he grappled
that idea as the noble red man grap
ples the vnigar demijohn. In the
gloom of the evening he slid beneath
the window of his beat girl and neat
ly attached to the doorbell a gorgeous
compound of tissue paper and taffy,
warranted to melt the stoniest heart.
Then he just raised bin mother’s
pestle and hit that door a sonorous
knock that would have brought the
dullest maiden to her feet, bat, unfor
tunately, the honse was built by con
tract, and that pestle fL-w through
that pannel like a fall in Western Un
ion, and before that young man coaid
slip through the fence, her father bad
lodged about seventeen bird shot in
his anatomy and bis pancake hat was
soaked with water. A nervous old
gentleman who lived next door had
played on him with u fire extinguish
er. The policemnn who appeared just
as the excitement began to cool, initi
ated him into tbe other sweet old ens-
tom of fined “five dollars and costs.”
He is now engaged in a patent medi
cine store, and when his romance gets
the whip-hand of him he gives it fall
swing in writing rhymed uotices for
tho firm.
Ske Didn’t Place ker Word* Right.
At one of the city drug stores a
young nnd sprightly school-teacher
lost week hurriedly addressed the
clerk:
“I wonld like a sponge bath.”
“Ah, ah, a—will you please repeat ?
I do not qaite understand." Stam
mered the clerk.
“I wonld like a good sponge bath,”
again explained tbe customer, while a
pair of sharp gray eyes, beaming with
wonder and impatience, made him
tremble.
The djsconcerted clerk managed to
tell his fair customer Ins inability to
oatob her meaning.
“Well, I never! If this isn’t queer!
I think I speak intelligently enough.
