WHAT TO EAT.

People who have weak stomachs or
who are unable to take much exercise
should not eat pastry, which is consid-
cred very difficult of digestion.
Raw apples sour and hard, when well
rhewed, may be digested in little less
than three hours; when mellow, the
time is reduced to two.
Highly concentrated foods, like eggs
and meats, should be eaten with vege-
tables and fruit, which supply materials
not contained in the more solid diet.
Boiled potatoes ere much harder TO
digest than roasted or baked, the form
er requiring three hours and ha'f. and
the latter from two to two and nalf.
A great variety of food should not
be eaten at one meal, since different
kinds add to the complexity of the pro
cess of digestion and incrfase its diff
ficulty.
Only adult animals, as a rule, are iii
for food. A notable exception is the
sucking pig, whose flesh is much more
digestible than that of the grown
porker.

Nothing produced on the farm sells
at such high prices as eggs, and choice
poultry will sell at all seasons, en-
abling the farmer to have returns from
srch sources every week in the year.

animal, and til is true economy to pre-
serve il by outside means Warm sta

err than fodder and hay, this warmth
should be provided wherever animals
are kept.

face, bees have fashion of economic
ing their stores, or even their energies,
when it is evident the effort will re-
duce their number. If stores are scarce,
they will cut down or stop brood-rear-
ing in order to save them.
The heaviest profit is made from
the smallest things on the farm in pro-
portion to capital invested. The gar
den pays more than the fields, and the
chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys
give larger profits than the cattle, ac-
cording to the cost of the articles sold.

strength or much capital Ladies are
as capable of making Bookkeeping profit

more so, and they are more apt to sue

Change the system.

The experience of the last two or
three years reveals the fact that the
people of an entire section of country
can be brought to state Of want and
suffering by an erroneous system OF
farming. 1t is difficult matter to get
tillers OF the soil out of the ''old ruts."
They are naturally conservative and
are slow to adopt new ideas. The mat
ter of improvements in methods Is one
of education, and this Is naturally a
slow process. There is no better school,
master than want. If the sufferers
can only be made to see that, it Will
teach them to adopt better methods
Our system of farming is young,
compared to that of older countries OF
the globe. There are about three and
half million square miles in this
country that have been brought I'M
der the pillow in a short space of time,
| and by the results therefrom demon
strating that our system tends to de-
stroy rather than to build up our lands.
Nature is ever active behind the farm
er with the loblolly pine and other
timber subsoiling and shading the ex-
hausted soil, or we would have bar
rem waste to bequeath to posterity.
The system of soil depletion and spolia-
tion should be stopped.
The fact is that if our farms were
managed as they ought to be, making
all the supplies needed at home, the
money would so adjust itself that the
farmer would have less use for it.
He does not handle much of 1T any
way under the present system, al
though there is more demand upon
him for it.
Our fathers who opened up the large
plantations Of cotton, sugar cane and
rice, brought the hog and other indus
tries along with them, and were wiser
in this respect than their children.
They were more of success in max.
ing money. and many of them acquired
fortunes, that their sons have dissi-
pated in experimenting with cotton
and free labor.

THE OLD ESTATE OF PIKE"
Once Extended to the Pacific Ocean!-Sitt
of the Largest Nursery IN the World.

Once Extended to the Pacific Ocean.-Slte
of the Largest Nursery IN the World.
From The 81. Louis 1iep,,blic.
The county of Pike is older than the State
of Missouri itself, having been laid out in
1919. The town of Louisiana was laid out
In the same year, so that Louisiana, Mo-,
and the estate of Pike came into history
at the same time.
When the Territorial Government estab-
lished Pike County its southern boundary
was the northern line of st. Charles Coun-
ty. The western line was along the divide
between the Mississippi and Missouri rivers,
to the extreme northern line of the Terri
tory OF Upper Louisiana, and extended
TO the Pacific Ocean On the west and to the
forty-ninth degree Of north latitude
One of the biggest institutions in Louisi-
ana, Mo-, is the Stark Bros. Nurseries 49,.
Eighty years ago there came from Kentucky
to Pike County the late Judge Stark. then
young man fresh from Old Hickory's New
Orleans campaign. He started the nursery
and planted the first grated orchard in the
State, having brought the scions on horse
back from Kentucky.
The business has descended from father
to son, and is now conducted by the third
generation, assisted by the fourth. This
firm has more than 900 statesmen and wants
as many more; business men, professional
men, mechanics, farmers and others, how
everinexperenced, are taught the business
and work the year round-recelvingg good
pay weekly. The company employs mort
people In its offices than would be necessary
to run large manufacturing concern. The
extensive packing-houses are connected
with the railroad by special track, whence
hundreds of car loads of trees are shipped
annually. The nursery grounds embrace
number of farms convenient to the city, ant
even extend to Rocaport, ILL.,, where thers

uP-TO-DATE FARMER.
II Takes Man OF Sense and Resources to
Achieve Success

II Takes Man OF Sense and Resources to
Achieve Success.
The fact of the matter is, that the
modern successful farmer is a profess
sional man, lin the very best sense of
the term. The necessity for men of
high intelligence and broad knowledge
is no greater in the professions, as
we now speak of them, than in the
farming industry. The up-to-date
farmer must be, in small degree, a
scientific man. He can not draw SOLE
" en- his own experience for proper
methods any more than a lawyer or a
physician can. He must be familiar
with the theory as well as practice;
must be well-read in the best litera ture
of his class; must thoroughly know the
text books of his trade. Equipped with
both scientific and practical under
standing. the modern progressive farm
err is no ordinary, everyday person. His
work is not only honorable, but one
that demands the brightest sort of in
telligence for its practice. There was
once time when people went into
farming because it was $50 easy" AL
