How Chiffon WAS NAMED.-Gen.
Robard gave US curious explanation
the other day as to how the name of
Chiffon happened to be glvep to that
town: One of the early settlers was an
Englishman, whose native place was
Chilliugton Hall. and naturally desired to
perpetuate home remembrance, which
was adopted. This name was sent to
the county seat for record, bu. the mess
enger partially forgot it on the way. and
when be arrived the word Chiffon was
all that remained in his memory. Thus
Chiffon passed into the records, and has
remained ever since. Green Bay Aduo-

charged in the cost of the corn. A like
course with all the items which enter
into the cost, from the seed to the shelled
product, gives him all the data on the one
side. On the other he has marked rates
to decide the value. There need be no
trouble nor need the problem be compli-
Gated by the interest element unless the
farmer be curious to see how that will
effect the outcome. The truth Is, having
obtained pay for all his labor at market
rates and for every other substance
which he has expended in production, the
surplus goes to represent profit on his
investment or interest on his lands, as
he may please to put it, unless, unfor-
tunatcly, there be no surplus, in which
case he must decide for himself whether
to attempt corn again or not. There is
profit i'll good farming, and if it cannot
be found in one branch something else
may be tried. What is important is to-
have such knowledge as the record sup

terprise arc constantly opening, and en-
