WHERE FARMING PAYS.
A Berks County Physician Seems to Hav

A Berks County Physician Seems to Have
1t Down to "A Science.
While there are numerous complaints
on every hand among farmers that their
occupation no longer pays, there is one
man in Berks county who thinks differ
emily. This is DR.. James G. Livipgood,
of Womelsdorf, who is, undoubtedly,
one of the largest owners of farm land,
all under high state of cultivation, in
Eastern Pennsylvania.
DR.. Livingood is 10 years of age and
has been engaged in the active practice
of medicine for over half century.
He first invested in farm land over forty
years ago and has been steaily increas-
ing his holding until now he owns
about dozen of the finest and most pro-
life farms in the entire Lebandon Valley
aggregating about two thousand acres in
extent. Ohe farm is located on the
outskirts of Womelsdorf, and none of
the others are located more than four
miles from that borough. The lowest
price which he paid for any of the farms
was SIS an acre and the highest price
$155 an acre.
DIR. Livingood has had frequent op-
portunities to invest his mon"y in enter
prises which promised him large re
turn, but he considered none of them as
safe as farming, the profits of which he
found, while not large, were always sure
| and sufficient to pay for the investment.
1t is estimated that DR.. Livingood' 6
farms are worth all the way from 5000,
| 600 to 100000. He does not condu ct
any of the farms himself, but has re.
liable tenants who farm the places ION
shares''-that is for certain percentage
of the crops generally one half.
For some years past DR.. Livingood
made from three to four per cent, on his
investments, with which he is perfectly
satisfied. During the war he said he
made as high as eight and ten per cent
He receives his share of the wheat and
other grain products from his tenants
and sells it himself when he finds g
that he has been in the business he says
| wheat has sold as low as rs cents and al
high as $3.50. His experience has taught
him that farming will pay if property
can be purchased at 800 an acre Oh
| less

WHAT ANIMALS POSSESS.

Animals are possessed of Jeeting-this
no one will deny-and their senses are
in many cases very acute, as it is we'll
known. Ideas they also have-general
or particular, abstract or concete. For
instance, as an example of abstract ideas
many dogs are especially attached to
troops, and they do not really care about
the individuals. They greet with JOY
every man wearing a given uniform
and no others; of the uniform they GER
tainly have general and a abstract
idea. No one will question the fact of
their being endowed with attention. The
cat waiting for the mouse; the attitude of
the hare when frightened by a mouse;
that of the sentinels of a troop of herons
when alarmed by some unusual occur
rance are familiar examples. Can an
mails reflect, or Mtrk, over matters?
Certainly, since they alter their ways
according to their personal experience.
The wild animals of newly discovered
country become timid and fearful as
soon as they are aware that the vincinity
of man is dangerous. They compare.
also, and know that small ones are less
dangerous than large ones. They are
able to judge of distance of mere passer
by distinguished from those of the hun
ter, of the possibility or impossibility of
crossing stream, etc. Reason they also
have, that is, they are able to adapt
their ways to circumstance, and to alter
the first as the last require, etc. Bre
bur tells US of monkey which, having
been scratched by cat, caught the I'M
fortunage animal and bit off its claws.
Was this not reasoning, too? And when
Frederic Cuvier's monkey united three
knots in his rope, to lengthen it, did it
not exhibit proof of reasoning? Bombon-
mel, the lion hunter, once saw singular
performance. A jackal came to visit a
watermelon, and wanted to take it away
and at once began pushing it forward
with it's nose But the garden was steep
and the watermelon came rolling down.
Nothing daunted the beast hOwled for
friend, which came Immediately TO help.
But of no avail; again the watermelon
obedient to Newton's law rolled back.
Then one of the two thieves laid down
on his back, clasping the fruit on his
stomach, and the other, catching hold of
him by the mouth, dragged him up hill.
Th is maneuvre was perfectly successful,
and two ingenious thieves were allowed
to escape with their well-earned booty

by an unique souvenir. The name was
painted in the national colors, and this

room and tie hallway and specimen

Ayers
Hair Vigor

not only prevented my wife from becoming
bald, but it also caused an entirely new
growth of hair l am ready to certify to this
statement before a justice the peace
ii. HulsebuS, Lewisburgh, Iowa.
Some years ago, after severe attack OF
brain fever, my hair all came out. l used
such preparations for restoring il as my ply
sicians ordered, but failed to produce a
growth of hair. l then tried, successfully
several articles recommended by druggists,
and all alike fell short of accomplishing the
desired result. The last remedy I applied
was Ayers Hair Vigor, which brought
growth of hair in few weeks. l think l
used eight bottles in two years; more than
was necessary as restorative, hut l liked it
as a dressing, and have continued to use it
for that purpose. l believe Ayers Hair
Tigor possesses virtues far above those OF
any similar preparation now on the market"
