For litis reason they should not have hmiumis to cue uncooked Bananas are nutritious, but they are an Indigestible food unless they are well masticated. They are more easily digested when cooked than when euteu raw. , Tbe most digestible form or cooked banana Is tbe baked one. This Is pre pared first by washing the fruit, then cutting a small piece Yrotn each end of tho bananas ins when preparing a sweet potato for bnklug) I'lace tho bananas to be baked ou a tin pie plate or similar dish In u hot oven. When tbey fool tender after pricking with a fork they are well baked. Dark brown or brown stained bananus (not the bright yellow ones) are best for eating, either raw or baked. After tbe fruit Is baked tt is placed on a plotter and served as a meat It Is not. however, turned out of tho skin. Whon ready to eat it split the akin and banana lengthwise of the fruit; season tt with aalt pepter and n llttlo butter. In warm weather linked bananas may be used to take the place of meat at a meal.

In 1883 lowlands lu southern liulst anu near the I ayous suitable for grow big sugar can, cum und cotton eould be purchased for KJ..V) an acre, aud tbe prairie lauds back from tbe bayous could be bought for tl an acre. With almost tbe first crop under IrrlgaUuu. bowever, the values showed a marked rise and have continued to Increase In the first five years the value of the best rice lauds rose to $10 uu acre, und soon after that It rose to &W' and eveu $50 an acre. The first people to plant rice lo south era Louisiana, according to tbe Unit ed Suites geological survey, were tbe Acad hum, wbo. after their expulsion from Nova Scotia by the English in 1755. settled in considerable uuinbers in Louisiana. Their cultivation or rice, almost primitive in Its methods, was confined to the lowlands along the bayous, tbe prairies affording pastur age for tbe Acudlaus' herds of cattle. Few of tbe lowland areas admitted of satisfactory drabuure. and tbey were too small for profitable cultivation. The crops frequently failed lu years of deficient rainfall Attempts were made to create additional water supplies by building levees across low sags or coulees ut Kluts higher than the cul tivated areas, but generally either the rainfall proved ileiicient or tbe reser voirs were loo smalt Little ui'.vuti'-e was made over the Acadia:) tuet::octs uiitil recent years. Experiments in unusually wet years bad shown that tbe sobs of the prairies were adapted to the growth of rice if sufficient water was at hand. This led to the trial of purov" aa a means of raising water fjvui tie bayous to the rice fields. So si-cecful waa the test that pumps were at once Installed at many points, and In A few years tens of thousands of acres of previously al most useless land, lying ten to seventy feet above tbe bayous, were put under cultivation. Tbe first large pump was Installed In 1S94 on the Bayou Plaque mine, In Acadia parish, near Crowley. OUR UNRULY SUN.

In stead of condensing and shrinking lit tle by til tic. as waa formerly supiosed. the sun is constantly dilating more and more und reaching the polut of burst ing.
