Of the multitude of men who have experimented with 
wild rice, comparatively few have succeeded, because so 
little has been known about the way in which the seed 
is to be treated. Within the past few years much has 
beer. learned about this, and Messrs. Northrup, King & 
Co.. Seedsmen, of Minneapolis, Minn., tell up that by 
their method of handling it, the seed reaches the pur- 
chaser in perfect growing condition. The firm has pre- 
pared a wild rice booklet, 
send to any one asking for it.

ROWLAND E. ROBINSON’S 
Danvis Books. 
These books have taken their place as classics in the 
literature of New England village and woods life. Mr. 
Robinson’s characters are peculiar, quaint and lovable; 
one reads of them now with smiles and now with tears 
(and need not be ashamed to own to the tears). Mr. 
Robinson writes of nature with marvelous insight; his is 
the ready word, the phrase, to make a bit of landscape, a 
scene of outdoors, stand out clear and vivid like a 
startling flashing out from the reader’s own memory.
