Under the caption, “Plant Rice and Fane,’’ in last week’s paper, in onr enthusiastic advocacy of Geor¬ gia cane syrup, we loft off, in the middle of our remarks, in regard to rice. This week we propose to plant rice. There are two varieties of rice— upland and lowland Either va rietv will do well in this county. Wo have seen tine crops of rice raised on first year new ground in Decatur county, and on high and |- dl T ^nd~sirnilar piney woods in land every of middle to the Georgia. • Rico yields from ten to fifty 1 bushels per acre, and can be success¬ fully grown on ordinary loamy soil. ' It should be cut before the heads i are dry as it does not shatter out so j badly, and when thus cut, the straw makes fine provender for cattle and horses. The crop is harvested in very much the same manner as oats or wheat. Rice is a profitable crop and there is always a good demand for it at a good price, be the supply great or small. It requires from a peck to three peeks of seed to plant an acre, the quantity depending on the method of planting and distancing. —Monroe Advertiser.

Kin to Jonan’s Gourd. A friend of ibe Telegraph sug¬ gests that we weave into our “daily corn song and fable a few stanzas about the velvet bean.’’ From all that we can learn, the { bean in question is a cross between p ope Brown’s red ripper pea and C.’ Jouah > 8 g0U rd. Recently Mr. A. u liaivey, arvcv of ot Candler Ganctiei, Fla i la., sent suit to to the Indiana Farmer a specimen taken j from one vine on which were six- teen pods to the stem* five beans to the l )od ’ or MOO beans 10 tlie ville - This bean > he delares > is * S od - ! tbe glound ““ feet .«* ' meb covei tw0 dee P> and ' n places three. In that region they can stay out all winter and not be injured by the cold. They „j ve ^j le t p ir Lies plenty of work, make lots of fertilizer, good meal for cows, horses and hogs. One can raise corn, potatoes and other things after, a crop of them. He gathered some of these off dead pine trees twenty-five feet up. They grow on until frost. It keeps a man busy to keep them off things and from running over the fence into the road. Hard to kill? Have to beat them like a lloosier schoolmaster does his kids. If these facts do not establish their kinship to the gourd which was Jonah’s and also to the red ripper known to Hon. Pope Brown, then the Telegraph is no expert in this business. We should think that this bean ought to be given a chance to spread itself over the red hills of Georgia even unto the bottom lands. After corn, why not velvet beans? —Macon Telegraph. Mr. \ anAtten, of this , county, ! fattened nineteen hogs on velvet beans last year, r ed is highly pleased with the experiment.

It would be well for all professed Christians to read and ever keep in mind the following truthful para¬ graphs taken from the Rain’s Horn:: The religion that costs nothing is worth nothing. If the heart is wrong, how can the life be right? When we are close to Christ we never feel any weight in Ilis yoke. There are no crown wearers in heaven who are not cross bearers here. The measure of one’s love for an¬ other is his willingness to Suffer for him. There is no better place to serve God in than the one in which lie has put us. Those who serve God only when they feel like it, never do a full day’s work. Some of us would praise God more if we would find fault with our neighbors less. It is only now and then that God calls people to preach the gospel,but lie calls every convert to be a wit¬ ness for it. Remarkable Care of Rheumatism. Kk.mna, Jackson Co., \V*. Va. About three years ago my wife had an attack of rheumatism which confined her to her bed for over a month and rendered her unable to walk a step without assistance, her limbs being swollen to double their normal size.
