Some recently published figure: and

of cotton production are interesting.
says the Savannah (GaD News. In 1878
the average yield per acre was 2GO
pounds. During the 20 years the acre
age devoted TO cotton cultivation in
creased 12S per cent, while the pro
duction increased 1873 per cent That
is to say, the farms OF the present day
are much more productive than were
those of 20 years ago. The reason
is, as every practical farmer knows,
that agricultural methods have been
greatly improved during the time. H.
vesors and chemists have labored with
the farmer to the end of bringing the
lands up to higher state of productive
ness. The former have produced new
implements for the cultivation of the
soil in an improved and at the same
time labor-saving manner. The latter
have instructed the farmer as to the
chemical elements needed for the Ell
richment of his soil, and the fertilizer
manufacturer has provided those ele-
mentS in convenient form for utiliZa-
ton. Rule-o'-thumb farming has TO a
great degree given way to scientific
farming. Those farmers who have not

is very equable and very mild. The
mean is about I'll degrees Fahrenheit.
The vegetation is almost tlOpical; iem-
on trees, olive trees and pines, rising
above each other in successive stages,
adorn the surrounding slopes. The
town, which has population of about
s.uG0, rises like an amphitheater on Il
Promontory by which its semicircular
bay is divided. OF late years Mentone,
OF account Of its mild and even climate,
has become the Mecca of invaIids, and
especially of cousumptives. Forty
years ago the inhabitants Of McntOne
and the neighborhOod were Il healthy,
lappy race of splendid physique, to
whom consumption was absolutely un-
lnovn.
When Mcntonc became noted as re-
treat for those sick with consumption
the peasants left their farms and their
healthy manner of living to wait on the
wealthy invalids. Thousands of con-
snmpti,es died there, impregnatine the
soil and the water with the germs of
their disease. As result the earth.
lir and water Of M;mtone are infested
with bacilli Of tuberculosis. and the
once robust and healthy peasants have
heconla cousumptives almost to man
ond woman. No more complete or
startling proof of the truth of the
germ theory Of the disease could well
be imagined.

ROYALTY OUT HUNTING.
Tame Partridges Killed by the Prince of
WaIes-Game for william III.


The prince of Wales is a great hunter
Of partridgeS, the hand raised birds
that have to be dubbed up and stoned to
make them fly from men. The way the
prince bangs over the soft birds is a
caution, says the New York Sun. He
las several guns and Q couple of men in
2 blind with him TO load the weapons.
Shooting in this fashion the prince
kills several hundred birds before noon.
Recently he and party of friends sue
ceeded in bagging in a single morning
1000 of the partridges, and in the aft
ernoon they got 1,000 more.
Like the prince. the German emperor
does nothing in half way. William
II. has better opportunities than the
prince of Wales. Instead of shooting
4 thousand or so of little birds the en-
peror goes on a grand hunt after big
game, and shoots birds between the
rushes of the deer and like beasts. The
emperor has the game laid out in lines
between which he may walk and in
spect the carcasses, and the lines are
numerous. Three hundred or so of roe
deer, dozens of wild boars and stays,
and hundreds Of birds make respect

TO PREVENT BILiOUSNEss
Americans Should Eat More Green Vege-
tables and Salads.

tables and Salads.
Authorities on diet believe that it
would be well for most of us who are
in health to eat more green vegetables
with our meat and starchy foods than
we do at present, says the New York
Post. Indeed, some go so far as to be-
lieve that the absence from our menus
Of plenty of green vegetables and salads
accounts for the biliousness of the
American people. The best known of
such plants are lettuce, beet-tops, dan.
delion, kale and spinach, but Mr.. Col
vile, botanist of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, finds that
there are many other palatable and
healthful plants that, though rarely
used, might add a pleasant variety to
our list of available vegetables. One of
these, ''winter cress,' or Barbarea proc
cox, which is cultivated from this city
southwark and is sold in large quanti-
ties in the Washington markets, il
planted in late summer or early fall
and needs very little cultivation. An
other plant that belongs to the spinach
and beet family, though it is a COM
mon weed in fields and gardens in near
ly every part of the United States, is
lambs quarters" or Chenopodium al
bum. 1t is in many places commonly
known either as pigweed or goosefoot,
but it is not the true pigweed. The
plant has pale-bluish green color, an1
is used when six or eight inches high
is tender, juicy and pleasant to the
taste. The teasing weed, the common
garden "pusley," or "purslane," when
boiled is also recommended as a most
palatable green vegetable and can easily
be had. In India, where it originated,
the plant has been used for hundreds Of
years. In Europe lis used both as pot
herb and for salads.
