PECAN GROWING PROFITABLE.

What an Experienced Grower Has to
Say of tho Industry
The following instructive paper on
pecans was recently read at q farmers
institute The author is DIR. O. D.
Faust. Of I}emberg, south Carolina.
Probably at no previous time has
there been s,1ci, an interest taken in
the planting of nut trees all over the
United States as now. The forests OF
the Southern states have furnished us
the finest nut trees on top OF the green
eurth. If he be Il bcnefactor of his
race who causes two b:ades OF grass to
grow where only one blade grew be-
fore how much more must he benefit
the world who plants that which shall
continue to grow in beauty and
strength and become of still greater
benefit to the world as the years go on?
The rest of the foregoing Instructive
paper together with some good points
on the growing and marketing Of this,
the best OF all our home grown nuts,
can be secured by sending two cent

GROWTH OF FINGER NAILS.

In one particular the growth or the
nails and hair and beard are governed
by the same 1aw-that OF growing
more rapidly in summer than in Win
ter.
Comparing the same fingers on the
different hands, it will be found that
the nails on the left-hand fingers re-
uuire about eighty days longer to re-
new than those on the right hand.
The finger nails Of the human species
grow more rapidly in children than In
adults, and the growth is slowest with
the aged. Both in childhood and age
they grow faster in summer than In
winter In one instance nail that
required 1872 days to renew in winter,
renewed in summer in exactly 116
days.
One popularity of the growth of fin
ger nails is that the reriod of renewal
differs proportionately with the length
OF the fingers. Thus it is more rapid
in the middle fingers than any other.
Tn the fingers on either side OF the
middle fnger the period OF renewal is
about equal and slower. 1t is even
more slow in the little finger, and IL
the slowest of all in the thumb.
