of age. This ventnresome old gentleman
led to the altar his seventh wife at the age
Of ninety-three years, and when he died he
left behind forty-three children, two hun
dred and thirty-six grandchildren, and nine
hundred aud fcrty.fourg reat-grandchildren.
Very carly in the present century 1900
there was recorded the case of an old lady,
eighty years of aye, who had buried three
husbands, aud then threw away her crutches
at the door Of a void church in Yorkshire
on becoming the wife Of farmer named
Wood.
A MIR. Meadows of Liverpool had rec
ord which is unique. He was married for
the sixth time, aged seventy-fiye years, at
Walton Church, in 1907. The first period
Of widowerhood lasted year, the second
month, the third seven weeks, the fourth
nine months, and the fifth the shortest of
all-only two weeks.
In 1909, Mrs. Jarvis of Hawarden mar
ried her sixth husband, publican, named
John Wright At the time of this mar
rage she was in the eighties, and had only
inferred her last choice FIVE weeks previ-
ously.
In 1916 youth named John Jones had
sufficient courage to marry Mrs. Mary
Harris, fifty-6ve-year-old widow, who
had deposited beneath the daisies no fewer
than FIVE husbands
The last instance is not so much record
Of numerous marriages as an instance Of
cpincidences, Mr.. Butin, an inhabitant OF
Confines, who died there carly in the cen
fury, at the age of eighty-four years, was
only twice married His second wife was
born the day his first wife died, and on the
birthday he jocularly remarked he would
never marry any other wife than that in.
FAINT For twenty years he waited, and
then led the 'sinfant" to the altar, he being
aged sixty-four years. The first child was
born twelve months after marriage. and the
second twenty years later. At his death
he left several children, the eldest Of whom
was sixty years Of age, and the youngest
two months He lived twenty years with
his first wife, was twenty years widower,
aud his second marriage lasted twenty, years

The Southern z ce Crop

More than One-half of the rice c.up
in Georgia and South Carolina was de-
strOyed by the great cyclone. The rice
planters there had begun the harvest
ing of the seasons crop when the rude
winds and waves swept over the fields
in which the slender stalks of the
plants were standing and ruined their
ripened heads. The lost must be
heavy for the southern regions of both
the states.
Yet the American rice crop of the
year will be heavy. The Louisiana
crop is safe. The gathering of it be-
gan month ago. The plant ripens
earlier in the Louisiana lOw-lands
than in Georgia or South Caro-
lima. BY the reports from New
Orleans we are assured that the years
yield in Louisiana will not fall short of
800, 600 barrels. and that the quality
is Of the best Within the past twenty
Years that state has become the lead
ing rice state of the south. and the cul-
ture of the plant is now one of its chief
industries and one of it's most profit
able. At an average price of Sc bar
rel this seasons yield is worth about
ST. 1000, The rice experts predict
that the annual yield will be doubled
within very few years and the pre-
diction is founded upon the regular in
crease in the size Of the crop since $50
Though only a part of the state is
adapted to raising rice. that part is
large enough to produce far more than
twice the prod of this seaSon.-N.

apple as the food of the gods, who,
when they felt themselves growing
feeble and infrm, resorted to this fruit
for renewing their powers Of mind and
body. Also, the acids of the apple are
of signal use for men of sedentary hab-
it's, whose livers are sluggish in action.
these acids serving to eliminate from
the body noXious matters. which if re.
tanned, would make the brain heavy
and dull, or bring about !aundice or
skin eruptiOnS and other allied trOu.
bles. 1t is also the fact that such fresh
fruits as the apple, pear and plum,
when taken ripe and without sugar.
diminish acidity in the stomach rather
than provoke it. A good. ripe, raw
apple is one of the easiest of vegetable
substances for the stomach to deal
with, the whole process Of its digestion
being completed in eighty-five minutes.

Making a Farm Profitable.

have not found anything so protita-
BILE and safe on a stony farm near the
city as first-class butter COWS and the
production of cream for sale daily. By
iudiciOus mana gement as much can be
realized from the cream OF high grade
JERSEYS or GuernSeyS as the whole milk
will bring. with the additional advan-
tage of the sIlim-milll for use upon the
farm in producing veal, pork and the
raising of the calves from choice cows.
If the owner can secure a market for
his cream with some city hotel or other
house at fair price, he may safely esti-
mate that his cows will make d yearly
return of at least SIS fol- cream alone,
the profits from the slim-milll being
additional The market for his cream
will frequently develop still further
into IA profitable place for shipping
poultry. roasting pigs, g pork,
laln>. sausages, etc. None o. these
things will take materially from the
FARMS fertility.
To what extreme the owner should
go in buying food for live stock must
be governed by circumsta noes and good
sense. 1t would hardly be practica BILE
to buy everything except the grass con-
sumed in summer. Such farm should
produce all the rough stover food
throughout the year for herd of
from fifteen to thirty COWS, as we'll as
raising a quantity Of corn for grinding
on the cob, or putting in the silO cut
into short bits with the fodder One
hundred bushels per acre would not be
a large estimate. Although a few tons
of high-grade fertilizer would doubt
less be required in the beginning, the
extensive purchase Of heterogeneous foods
would render the continuation of this
expense unnecessary after a few years.
The character of the fertilizer bought
would depend on the requirements of
the soil, and just what to purchase
could be determined only by actual eX-
pertinent. Sheep can be made to pay,
though in a less degree, and more skill
full management will be required

any other fruit or vegetable. This

HERE AND THERE.

A well-knOwn horticulturist says
that Y cutting out the black knot he
jleenS his plum trees tree from it, ex-
c4pt,ng where his field adjoins neigh
Dor, who do not cut it ont.
1T is better to lessen the herd one
half or tvo-thirds in number, or re-
duce it to single animal, rather than
fill it with COWS that, however fed,
will little more than pay their keep.
Too much care and Judgment can
not be exercised in choosing salt for
dairy purposes. as upon this depends
to large extent, tie saleable appear
ance and keeping quality of the pro-
ducts
An exchange says that if cow
gets chol1ed with an apple or potato,
holding up its head and breaking an
eggin it's mouth is a sure cure. The
same remedy is recommended for horses
under similar circumstances.
In no way will late chick ems do so
we'll as by scattering. the coops around
in the orchard. or. if You have no
orchard. seattle them around over the
place among the weeds if YOU can do
no better.
Are the cultivatOrS. harrOWS, roll
ers. plows and farm machinery under
shelter. or are they scattered over the
farm? Implements exposed to alternete
sun and rain will not last half as long
as if taken care of.
"A farmer who tried the experiment
of rubbing the hide of an animal with
a raw onion reports that the result was
to rid the animal of lice. and it is be-
lieved that onions will serve to rid ami
mails of all such pests as lice, ticks,
f1eas. etc, the difficulty being the la Dor
of application of the remedy
Much can be learned by observing
nature. y horse will never stand facing
a wind in a pasture, but will always
turn his back. 4 horse heated by driv.
ing can be fOundered in a few minutes
by standing facing the wind or in n
draught.
"A bare fallow is thing that we do
not hear much of nowadays. 1t is pref
tv we'll understood that the soil is bet
ter for having some kind Of a covering
all the time. Consequentlyit is good
plan to SOW rye on the bare places, if
only to turn it under next spring.
"A soft bed is a luxury, even to an
animal. and it also pays. When an
animal rests quietly and comfortably
it increases and thrives. In winter
the use of bedding literally promotes
warmth and lessons the amount of
food.
If the calves do not get a good
start in life there will be poor chance
of ever turning them into beef with
profit. See that they have everything
needed to promote a thrifty growth.
The idea that a stunted calf can be
brought out all right by future feed
ing is all wrong.
A writer says that clover is a grass
that makes land richer and better f0r
having grown on it. and we never lose
anything by growing it for honey, 1t
may not sell as well as a hay crop, but
it enriches the soil so much that it pays
Cor itself in year or two.
1t is what a cow will yield with ordi-
nary feed and care that determines her
