Most Profitable Vegetable Oron

W hieh Is the most profitable crop &c
grow? is n question often asked The
answer depends on circumstances and
soil; climate, capital and labor all must
be considered before deciding One
thing we wish to impress on farmers is
the mistake they make in discardino
certain vegetables because they are
troublesome to grow. We must not for.
get that the easier n crop can be pro.
duced the cheaper ii sells. and the higher
the price the greater the profit, even
when labor is increased For instance,
If a crop be easily produced on an acre
ut cost of SO which sells for $50 there
would be clear profit of $40 for the
acre. For two acres the OUTLAY would
be $50 and the profit $40. But if Ne
place the $40 worth of labor on one acre
and derive $50 of profit, the receipts and
expenses of the easy and more laborious
crops would be the same. but one-hali
the land will be saved by the growing OF
a crop that requires double labor. Ii q
bushel of corn sells for 81, and the farmer
labors to the value of IS cents to pro-
duce il. he is really selling his labor and
not the corn. for the actual substance
taken from the soil by the corn is but q
fraction of its value. In our large mar
kets these vegetables that require care
and nice management and much labor
to produce them bring high prices, the
rates being high because farmers viii
not grow them until they feel sure of not
only being reimbursed for the outlay,
but profit must also be the result. On
small farms, where the owner wants more
land because he is idle part of the time.
those crops should be grown that call fol-
all his labor, as the sales in market will
return good wages for the work. Sell
ing labor on the farm that would other
wise be wasted is as important as cult
waiting. feeding or any other part of the
management.-F arnaers' Magazine.

SERENADES

As soon as it became aScertained last
evening that Alderman Motifs promotion
to the mayOralty was a certainty, large
number of his friends visited that gentle
mans house to tender him the eompli-
ments of the day. Unfortunately Gas
they supposed Mr. Mott was not at home
but in his absence Mrs. Mott appeared
upon the porch and in her husba nd s name
briefly, yet most appropriately acknowl-
edged the honor of the call.
ALDERMAN HENRY.
The numerous friends of Alderman
Henry were also determined to show him
what they thought of his big majority,
which was one of the most fiattering evil
dences of mans popularity recorded
yesterday. Early in the evening a huge
bonfire was kindled near his residence and
shortly after midnight large company
of his friends, headed by Behl's band, call
ed upon him, and secured IA telling speech
from him which ended in a Notification
all around. With so handsome a ma
jority at his back Alderman Henry will
resume his aldermanic labors with re-
newed zeal
1t is said that the special election for
the choice of his colleague, to succeed
Alderman Mott, will send into the conn
Gil democrat from over the slough. who
will look closely after the ward interests.

A Curious Story of General Burnside.

three hundred copies were printed for
the General personal friends. is a very
| handsome Specimen Of buokcraft The
work itself Is n just tribute 10 the dead
soldier and statesman, and presents his
private character in very amiable
light.
The General was "A native of indiana
and was entered As a cadet at West
Point from that state. He was gradu-
ated IN the ciasS of 1917; went 10 Mex

at home on u previous visit saws the
bio"rapher, Lieutenant burnside had
made many acquaintance in the neigh
boring town of Hamilton. O. Among
them was a Kentucky belle, who united
to the vivacity of the North the soft and
languid style of the South She was
highly educated, and her industry in ac-
curing knowledge was only surpassed
10y her conversational power to impart
1t to others. The Young officer was
dazzled by her personal beauty and ac-
compiishments; charmed by her affabil-
Ity and bewitched by her fascinations.
Offering his hand, it was accepted: the
necessary license was procured. and on
the appointed day for the nuptials the
young couple stood up before a clergy
man TO be joined in wedl6ck. Asked
whether he would take the woman To be
his welded wife, etc. burnside respon
ded aifirmatisely; but when the ques
ton was put to her. whether she would
take him for husband, ETC., she said
No, and could not be prevailed upon
to change her mind. A few wears af
terward distinguished Ohio Iawyerob-
tanned from the same lady a promise ia
marry him, and the wedding day was
hXed. He had heard of Burnsi,le's bu-
initiation, and on their way to church
exhibited revolver, and admonished
her that she would return his wife or a
corpse. When the important Question
was propounded she promptly replied |
whether from love or fear-sI will

Military district of the Ohio. the lady's |
mother and sister were arrested as they |
were about to go South, carving CORE
