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. Ordinary combustible substances may be set on tire with uitric acid. 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.
