FLOODING A RICE FIELD.
TDBJVIWO OW WATEH TO FOIICB
THE PLANT'S GROWTH.
A Glimpse of a Southern Hire Plan
tation Amphibious Treatment
of the Rice.
In an interesting article on a. Southern
rice plantation, Hugh N. Ntn-rrs snys in
the lUrouac: As soon as the germ root
pushes out underneath the grain in search
lor food, a minute point is visible above
ground, reaching up for light and air.
This is the embryo stalk, and corrosf ouds
with the germ root. The plaut is now
in proper shape for forcing, and the
Etretch water should be put on at once.
It sometimes happens, however, that
the water, from tidal or other causes, is
delayed, and tho point, which is similar
to that of barley or wheat, only sharper
and more delicate, divides and assumes
the "fork" st.igc, and the stretch that
follows is from tho fork instead of from
the point. This contingency is unde
sirable, as tho plant is thereby some
what lc.'sencd in vitality.
The water is at first turned on deep,
entirely covering the surface of the
squares, and the young plaut. drinking
in the life-giving fluid, commences to
rear its head aloft and reach up for light
and air. Theriver-wnter is seldom clear
always more or less tinged with mud
and the tender shoot battles manfully
with its seini-translucent covering to
bask in tho comforting rays of the sun.
After the rice has becomo sulhciently
stretched, or a few inches high a
period extending through from two to
ten days tho water i slacked down
to what is known as "slack-water
gauge," so as to show the tops of the
plant and give it necessary air and
sunshine. It the plant is longer than
the water is deep, which is generally
the case, it floats its upper leaves on
tho surface in long wavtng lines across
tho squares a singularly attractive and
beautiful picture.
It seldom happens, however, that the
whole plantation is ' under the same
treatment at the same time ; for, with
five or six hu-.dred acres to sow, it is
a difficult matter in early spring, with
frequent interruptions from rains and
bad weather, to seed down so large an
acreage in time for utilizing any one
spring tide for flowing. A largo plan
tation will run five or six grain drills
at once, and put in sometimes sixty
five or seventy acres daily ; but even
with as rapid work as this it is impossi
ble to get all in contemporaneously.
Consequently it is a common thing to
see perhaps one-fourth of the square s
under the stretch water ; another fourth
undercharge of the "gun squad," wait
ing for the tender point to shoot ; an
other series under the sprout water, and
tho remainder in process of planting, all
at once. This necessarily adds greater
interest and diversity to tho process and
prospect.
Sometimes, too, tue rice comes up
mixed with "volunteer; ' this is the pro
duct of the grain shaken out during tho
previous harvest and scattered broad
cast over the land, ims can generally
be removed by the hoe, but where it is
yery thick it sometimes necessitates re
plowing and seeding, thus throwing late
a portion of the crop. This volunteer
rice is hardy and prolific, and externally
similar to white rice, but the objection
to it is that the borry is red, and greatly
reduces the grade of rice with which it
is mixed, besides totally unfitting it for
seed. To destroy this obnoxious tare, the
fields are sometimes thrown into dry
crops for a year or two, or kept under
water for a like time.
It will be remembered that each square
is under separate control, and, except
two or more are temporarily united by
the check bank washing through, can be
flowed and drained independently at the
pleasure oi ihc p anter.
A walk over the banks of a plantation
at this period is replete with interest: at
every 6tep the "tiddlers," scurrying from
under your feet nnd ducking into their
holes, each one as he disappears waving
aloft in deriance his disproportionate
manicle. Yonder are small squads of
negroes in twos and threes, dragging
with long wooden rakes the tloatui
trash and stubble blown by the wind in
masses against the lee banks, and piling
it on the pathways. Over there the rattle
of the grain drills is heard seeding
down the few belated squares. Here
is the trunk-minder with his assistant
hard at work repairing a 1 ak. On the
canal bank is the overseer in consulta
tion with the planter on his daily visit to
the fields, lfis l.ttle sail boat rocking at
the wharf down by the quarter. Atten
tion is called to a defective . trunk or a
dangerous bank; stretch water, to mor
row, mu-t be turned on number six and
number eight, and sprout water let olf
from seventeen and twenty-three. The
long cord of the submerged thermome
ter is drawn in hand over hand, its read
ing carefully taken, and the mean tem
perature of the water for the mouth in
the overseer's handy notebook U com
pared with that of last year, and de
pendent operations deduced and de
termined. J'rom the high and dry
squares on the further side comes the
casual pop of tho musket, while flocks of
daws and hungry crows circle overhead,
awaiting their opportunity to tettle
down ou the sprouting grain. Every
thing works in its appropriate groove
and little is left to chain e.
The stretch water is held at the slack
gauge from twenty to forty davs, when
the "dry root" and the leaves correspond
ing to it have put out. The amphibious
and pampered plant has now had enough
of its stimulating thouyh strictly tem
perance bevera ;e, and is ready lor a pe
riod cf "prohibition," or dry growth.
HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
Italian Chestnut Trees.
According to the latest returns pub
lished by the Minister of Agriculture, it
appears that the chestnut tree is culti
vated in every provinc e of Italy, except
ing eleven that is to say, it is cultivated
in fifty-six nrovinos; and that out of
thef,'i7 communes in Italv, it is culti
vated in l,:il t. The chestnut is culti
vated on the most extensive svitlo in
l.iguria, and on thu least hi Sardinia.
The total production throughout . the
kingdom of fnsh chcstnuts'is
tons annually. A considerable quantify
of chestnuts is exported to France, Aus
tria, Egypt, Switzerland and South Amer
ica; while on the other hand, a very in
significant quantity is imported from
runce, Austria, and fcjwit'.erlaud.

Useful Hints.
If oilcloth be occasionally rubbed with
a mixture of beeswax and turpentine, it
will last longT r.
To take stains from white goods: Pub
the juice from ripe tomatoes with salt on
the stains and expose to the stin.
A carpet can be brightened and cleaned
by scattering corn meal or salt over it
and give it a second sweeping. It should
be thoroughly swept first, however.
Try putting a teaspoonful of soda in
water and dissolving it, put it in your
churn after your butter begins to come,
and see how quick your butter will
gather.
In making jelly, if you have more than
you have glasses, you can make glasses
by taking large, smooth bottles and
wetting a cord in turpentine, aud tying
around the bottle below the neck, then set
the string afire, nnd it will break off
smoothly all around.
If you wish to have a chicken for din
ner, and it is rather small for your fam
ily, you can help it out by cooking with
it two or three nice slices of salt pork,
and, just before dishing it, toast a few
crackers and lay around the dish it is to
be served in, or in place of crackers you
cun use bread or biscuit.
Frosting without eggs: Mix one cup
pf sugar with one-fourth of a cup of
sweet milk, put over a slow fire and stir
unfit it. boils: then boil five minutes
without stirring; set the saucepawiu co'.d

Spread on the cake while it will run. It
will keep longer than when made of
eggs, and will not crumble when you
cut it.
Bonanza."
In an Englisn magazine an attempt is
miirln to five a series of Americanisms :
that is to say, words coined or invented
in America. Under the word Donanza
the definition is given " Spanish, a big
scheme by which, honestly or otherwise,
much money is made." Upon this a
critic pounces and tays that bonanza
means " ood fortune or good luck."
Bonanza is indeed a Spanish word, and
very naturally came into use in Califor
nia or Nevada. Hut it does not mean
"a big scheme " or "good luck." It is
a nautical a seagoing word, and means
fair weather at sea. If the reader will
refer to St. Matthew, viii. 20, he will
read that, after tho Lord rebuked the
wind and the sea, " there was a great
calm." And if reference is next made
to tho Spanish version of the New Testa
ment ho will find the phrase there given,
" vita iiande lonama." It is easy to
understand how the word came into its
figurative use -as meaning a happy,
calm, and good hope after a weary

A mind Mnu With a Yellow Nose.
"See that blind man over there on the
corner :" asked a Wabash avenue doctor
yesterday. "Well, ho is a confirmed
cigarette smoker. l'eoplo who know
him say he smokes a hundred of these
vile things every day. Like thousands
of others he first inhales the smoke and
then dis: barge it through his nostrils.
He has kept up this sort of thing until
his beak has begun to color as prettily
as a meerschaum pipe. His friends havo
tried to tell him that unless ho stopped
the practice ol discharging tho smoke
through his nostrils his nose would soon
become us Muck as u dumb bell ; but,
being blind, he imagines that these warn
ings are made in jest and dismisses his
solii ito .s friends by telling them that
bis fare is not made of papier-mache or
plaster-of paris. 1 account for this lu
dicrous transformation on the theory
that his noso, becoming porous by reason
of the gradual absorption of the blood in
his body, soaks up the nicotine as fast as
it enters the nostrils and disliibutes it in
a way quit& fnnny to the world."

Proprietors of " Warner's Safe. Cure."
That we may emphasize and cnry et
plain the relnt inn thu kidneys susUriivto th
general hi'ulth, aud how much is rierwtxlpnt
upon them, we propose, metaphorically
HK'nliimr, to take one from the human hotly,
place it in the wash-bowl before us, and ex
amine it for the public benefit.
You will imnKino that we have before us a
body shaped like a l ean, smooth and glisten
ing, about four inches in length, t .vo in width,
aud one in thickness. It ordinarily weighs
in the adult male aliout five ounces, but is
5. .me what lighter in the female. A small
Divanf you say. Hut understand, the body
of the average size man contains about ten
y Harts of blood, of which erery droffiasses
through these Jitters or sewers, as theymay
be railed, many times a day as often as
through the heart, making a complete revo
lution in three minutes. From the .blood
they soj arnte the waste material, working
awny steadily night nnd day, sleeping or
waking, tireless as the heart itself, and fully
of a.s much vital importance; removing im
purities from sixty-live gallons of blood each
i r, or about forty-nine bnvrels each day,
or hogsheads a year! What a wonder
that the kidneys can last any length of time
under this prodigious strain, treated and
neglected as they are!
We slice this deliiato orgnn open length
wise with our knife, and will roughly de
scribe its interior.
We find it to be of a reddish-brown olor,
soft nnd easily torn; filled with hundreds of.
little tubes, short and thread-like, starting
from the arteries, ending in a little tuft about
midway from the outside opening into a
cavity of considerable size, which is called
the pelvis or, roughly speaking, a sac, which
is for the purposu of holding the water to
further undergo purification before it passes
down from here into the ureters, and so on
to the outside of the body. These little tubes
are the filters which do thoir work auto
matically, nnd right here is where the dis
ease of ths kidney first begins.
Doing the vast amount of work which
they are obliged to, from the slightest irreg
ularity in our habits, from cold, from high
living, from stimulants or a thousand and
oue other causes which occur every day, they
become somewhat weakened in their norva
force.
W hat is. the result? Congestion or stoppage
of the current of blood In the small blood
vessels surrounding them, which become
blocked; these delicate membranes are irri
tated; inflammation is set up, then pus is
formed, which collects in the pelvis or sa.1;
the tubes are at first partially, Jind soon are
totally unable to do their work. The pelvic
sac fix's on distending with this corruption,
pressing upou tho blood vessels. All this
time, remember, tho blood, which is entering
the kidneys to be filtered, is passing through
this terrible, difgusting pvs, for it cannot
tike auy other route!
i Stop and think of it for a moment I Do
you realize the importance, nay the vital ne
cessity, of having the kidneys in orderf Can
you expect wheu they are diseased or ob
structed, no mutter how little, that you can
have pur-e Hood and escape diseose.f It
would be jut ns reasonable to expect, if a
pest-house were set across Broakway and
countless thousands were compelled to go
through its pestilential doors, an escane from
contagion and disease, as for one to expect
me uiocu to escape pollution when constantly
running through a diseased kirinnv.
Now, what is the resultf Why, that the
blood takes up and deposits this poison as it

inch of muscle, tissue, flesh and bone, from
your head to your feet. And whenever, from
hereditary inlluence or otherwise, soma part
of the body is weaker than nnothnr a mimt.
less truin of diseos?s is established, such as
consumption in weak lungs, dyspepsia where
there is a delicate stomach; nervousness, in
sanity, paralysis or heart disease iu those
w ho nave weuH nerves.
The heart must soon feci the efTectsof the
poison, (is it re uires pure blood to keep it
in right action. It increases its stroke in
number and force to compensate for the
natural stimulus wanting, in its endeavor to
crowd the impure blood through this ob
struction, causing pain, palpitation, or an
out-of-bro.ith feeling. Lnnatural as this
forced latior is. the heart must soon falter,
becoming wrakor and weaker until one dav
it suddenly slops, and death from apparent
"heai t disease'' is the verdict.
But the medical profession, learned aud
dignified, call these disea-ses by high sounding
names, treat them alone, aud patients die,
for the arteries tire carrying stow death to
the affected nart. rnriut.Hnt.lv ndriinir fnl
brought from these suppurating, pus-ladeu
kidneys which here in our wash bowl are
very putrefaction itself, aud which should
nave lieen cured first.
Tut this is not all the kidneys have tn iln
for you must remember that each adult takes
about seven pounds of nourishment every
twenty-four hours to sunulv th' waste of the
body which is constantly going on, a waste
equal to the quantity taken. This, too, the
kidneys have to separate from the blood with
an oilier uecomposinjr matter.
.but you say:

Why I Because the disease begins, as we
uave snowu, in tne mt.-rior or the kidney,
where there are Jewnavesof feeling to con
vey uio ten-anon or pain. Why this is so
we may never know.

Then look out for them, as disease, no mat

by alter deutb eamiuatioiis, has its origin
in the breaking down of these su retiiig tubes

Momeihlna About Catarrh.
A great many people are afflicted with ca
tarrh who do not know what ails them; and
a great many mora continue sufferers who
might be cured.
Thickening of the membrane which lines
the nasal passages, thus making breathlnsr
difficult; a discharge from the nostrils, more
or less copious, watery or thick, according to
the stage of the disease; a sense of fullness in
the head; a constant Inclination to spit; and,
in advanced cases, a dropping of intensely dis
gusting matter into the throat, are a few of
the prominent symptoms of Catarrh.
Deafness, inflamed eyes, neuralglo pains,
sore throat and a loss of sense of smell are
very often caused by Catarrh.
All these troubles are cured by Plso's Rem
edy for Catarrh. Relief Is had immediately
after beginning its use, but it is important
that It be continued without interruption until
the catarrhal virus is expelled from the sys
tem and healthy secretions replace the dis
eased action of the mucous membrane. Man
ifestly it is unreasonable to expect a onra in a
short time of a disease that haa been progress
ing for months or years.
Thisquestlon of time Is provided for in the
putting up of Plso's Remedy for Catarrh. It Is
so concentrated that a very small dose is di
rected. The quantity iu one packaga is suffi
cient for a long treatment, consequently the
expenno is a mere trine, and there is no excuse
for neglect nor reason for it but forgetfulness.
