Mr.. E. Stoner has had much sue
cess with his vegetable garden this
winter, and he has used nothing but
a liberal supply of ordinary stable
fertilizer. Last Monday he brought a
head of lettuce to this office which
was about the size of an ordinary
Florida cabbage Invested of it's outer
leaves. It was the kind of lettuce
known as the "Florida header,"' and
was crisp and tender throughout. In
his garden patch he has dwarf peas
as high as mans head, and the fam
lily has already been indulging in
green peas Philosopher.

it's substance than in the manner in
which it was made. The man question
ed unhesitatingly answered eyes" and
then, as if it suddenly occurred to him
that he had told the truth, but not the
whole truth, he proceeded to give the
specifications in the count. Smith had
indeed made his money farming, but
in a general sense. The real source of
his wealth was not indicated in that
general reply. He had been special
list; he had sought a competence from
live stock. He was not mere soil rob-
Der. He did not simply plOw, plant
and reap, and sell the raw material.
He operated a condensing factory. He
put corn and fodder and clover into
pork, beef and mutton. His grain crops
walked to market. And he saved their
manurial value to restore to the land
which had fed his crops.
In history, sacred and profane, in
song and story, the stock farmer has
been the best-to-do in his community.
From the fairness of his herds and
flocks he has stored up a competency.
He has reared and educated sons and
daughters who have become powers in
the communities in which their lots
have been cast. His broad acres have
enlarged their boundaries with the adj
vancing years, and he has been the
man Of wealth and prominence in his
section. That he stands in what may
be called a class by himself among ag-
riculturists is plainly if unconsciously
indicated in the reply quoted. The
manner of the reply would almost in
dictate that stock raising was a sepa-
rate and distinct industry from farm
ing; the man questioned spoke almost
as he would if he had said, 'Yes-and
by keeping store'' He spoke as if it
would tax the credulity Of his friend
to ascribe Smiths wealth merely to
farming, and hence he specified the
special branch of farming that had
brought him financial independence.
1t was a curiously significant an
swer and one worthy to be pondered.
