Award to Faruer.,

The seed time 10 approaching and the
farmers are beginning 10 lay their plans
for the next years operations, which y
. wise preliminary. But the Alert, which
is acknowledged authority over all ques-
tons from tho minutest details Of local
matters to the most abstruse questions Of
bible history, would make few sugges-
tions 10 the farmers on the subject Of
farming operations. No farmer should
depend altogether upon the cultivation
of single product. Wheat. oats, barley,
onions and potatoes can be grown here
|profitably, Is has been demonstrated.
Every farmer should make 1t point to
seed for al Of these crops, as it d not q
oil probable that short crop would
strike sll the same year. and it may han
pen that some ono or two Of them msy
partially fail any year. With good crop
of part the farmer could stand par.
tisl failure Of others much better thaa II
could stand the partial failure Of any one
Of them In which his oil is invested. Po-
tatoes and onions ore produced with very
little labor except the proper preparatioa
of the ground, and yield to the value Of
$500 per acre.
another matter of confederation is the
extent of operations. Circumscribs your
operations by your ability 10 perform. It
you have teams and machinery enough 70
seed and care for 100 acres don't under.
take 200 acres and involve yourself in
debt for the additional teams and ma
chinery, for if your enterprise should fail
Of good crop yen would probably lose
all, and at best great deal would waste
for want Of care at the proper time. In
short, don't try to bore IN augsr hole
with . gimlet 1t is better to make
81 900 on small scale than TO loee
el 900 on large one.

A Beautiful Girl 1Iiss,nx.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. l2-Thsre IS great ex
c,tement here over the dissppearance Of
Miss Zerelde Garrison, young girl II
years of age, and remarkable for her
beauty and one of the bellies Of the city.
She was last seen alive on Saturday last
when little after O'Clock she left the
residence of her uncle, y. l.. Garrison,

noticed on the car platform four rough
looking men Of the heodlum stamp.
They commented during their journey on
Mss Garrison's handsome appearance
and said she WAS the most beautiful wo-
man they had ever ssen. 1t Is supposed

had not returned since the Christmas hol.
idsys, having been detained by visits Of
friends. She had been studying there
for o,er . year. She always made the

her uncle's horses were lame Saturday
and 50 she decided to 60 in = street car.
Her disappearauce was not known to her
family or the police until yesterday after
noon - her relatives thought she was at
the convent and the sisters at the convent
thought she was at home. She is the
daush of Mrs. Abraham Garrison
and resides ut K,rkwood, . suburban
town twelve miles out north west. Gar.
rison is secretary of the st. Louis steel
and ore company, is her uncle and she is
