A Trip Along the So. Pa. R. R.

Through the sugar belt the cane
is looking very well and is grow
ing very rapidly. The corn crop
is practically made, but will be
short OH the older planting, while
the late planting is being taken by
weeds and grass, due to the con,
| tinued rains. In the cotton section
there is every variety Of conditions
from prime to positive loss of en-
tire planting. On the whole, cot
ton has suffered considerably ia
this section. Rice is growing beau
tifuliy throughout the rice region,
but the rains in the early summer
prevented such manipulation of
the lands as would destroy the
red-rice, self-seeded from last
years crop.
In almost every section the crop
prospect is counted as below the
average from one fifth to e.quar-
ter.
Cade Station is improving rapid
ly. Other new buildings are going
up and it will not be long before
that town will be laid into squares
and streets. 1t promises to be a
place of no little Importance in the
near future.
BrOussardville still grows slow
ly, but is more than holding it's
own in business. The development
of the interior section southwest
of this place will have a great in
funce upon the future prosperity
Of this town.
Lafayette is quiet. Some say
dull. Their State School building
is going right ahead.
Crowley is ever the wonder.
No dull season is severe enough
to cause these people to stop
their onward march. No public i'm
prOvement is too good for them
and they do not hesitate to want
and ACHIEVE the best. They have
wide streets-the principal street
is 100 feet wide-public squares,
ornamental public water fountains.
municipal water works and electric
lights. They are now contemplate
ing paved streets, sewerage and a
splendid high school building.
Many brick buildings are taking
the places Of the original frame
structures.
An unusual sight was witnessed
in Crowley this week. The owner
Ola certain lot had thereon a two
story frame building, occupied as
dry goods store. The landlord
wanted to build in brick. The
frame structure was moved right
into the street, turned-rOund, and
rested upon blocks, without dis
turbing contents or occupants
business is gOwlng right on, while
the new building is going up OH
it's former site. When the new
brick building will have been COM
pleted the store keeper and goods
will move out of the back door of
his now temporary quarters into a
nice new place of brick and plate
glass.
The So. Pa. r. Il. Co. is putting
in a double track bridge at Lafay-
cite, with stone piers and Adult
ments. This company is also
pushing the work on their double
track west Of this place to Segura.

HENRION's WONDERFUL BOOK
ON THEM.
Adam Was 1923 Feet Inches High and
Eve Five Feet Less-The Giants Of
Today.

Old chroniclers tell wonderful stories
of the giants that used to walk the
earth, even as we read in the Bible OF
Goliath, who was slain by the youth
David. In latter days perhaps the
most interesting book on giants was
written by a French scholar named
Henrion in 171S. This book asserted
that ADAM the first man, was 1913 feet
8 inches tall, and that Eve was only
five feet shorter. After Adam man be-
gan to lose height rapidly. Noah, says
M. Henrion was about 81 feet tall, and
Abraham measured not more than 20.
Moses reached only the poor height of
13 feet, and, finally man had to be con-
tented with feeble little frames from
to 6 feet in height
Many huge human skeletons have
been found, according to report. 1t is
said that the skull of Chevalier Rincon,
whose remains were discovered in 1900
at Rouen, held a bushel of wheat. The
shinbone was four feet long, and others
in proportion. Many other similar skele-
tons were found, one in Sicily that
measured 300 feet in length. In the pres
ent century, however, it has been shown
that these skeletons were not of hui
mans but of prehistoric beasts.
One of the worlds famous giants was
| L dlIlCh COlltI - DIltu, WHO was DOIn
| at Kinsdale, in Ireland, in 1861. He was
s feet inches tall, and was the greatest
giant of the day. He died in 1904. In the
museum of Trinity College, Dublin, is
the skeleton of a giant named Magrath
who was Z feet 8 inches high.
1t is an interesting fact that giants as
a rule are both weak of body and of
mind, while dwarfs are usually keen
wltted and healthy. A story is told that
the Empress of Austria in the seven
teenth century had all the giants and
dwarfs of the Germanic Empire as
sembled at Venne. They were CHARTERED
together and fear was expressed
that the giants would terrlfy the
dwarfs. The contrary proved to be the
case. The dwarfs tormented and robbed
the giants to the extent that with tears
in their eyes the giants begged to be
protected from them.
The usual circus and museum giants
of today are rarely over feet in height,
but they wear high-heeled boots and
high hats that add a foot or more in
height to their appearance.

small ones which We're grown in the
days of Land labor. They have also

They have increased the amount Of

An excellent method of stacking fod-'
der. says the Ohio Farmer, is to con-
struct a long and narrow platform of
rails or anything that will serve. to
keep the bundles off the ground. This.
platform can be as wide us the length
of two bundles or 1t can be two or three
times that width, IL there Is n large
amount Of fodder TO be stacked. and as
long as necessary. The stack should
be quite long in proportion to its width,
as the fodder is to be used from the
ends. Begin by laying bundles closely
lengthw.se until the center is from
four to eight feet. depending on the
width Of the stack, higher than the
outside. Then begin laying the bum
dies crosswise, close together, butts
out. Keep the center higher MS the
stack advances, that the top bundles
may be quite slanting to shed water
well. Tie a number of bundles near
the top, divide into two equal parts,
set half on either side of the top the
whole length of the stock. and 1t will
not take water. In using the fodder,
begin al the ends; pull out the bottom
bundles first, and none need be dam
aged by rain, the end only being ex
posed.

been found not only to grow there, but
to SO fill the sand with their roots as to
prevent It from blowing by the wind or
even being washed away by ordinary
waves or tides. Once made to grow,
these plants will contribute vegetable
matter to the soil, which in time may
make them fertile for other plants. The
department is Introducing sand binding
plants from foreign countries which
they propose to have tested In climates
here like those from which they IRE
brought. to see If any of them are SUI
perior to our native sand growing spe-
cies Even II they fail to make the
sand fertile, 1t will be of advantage in
preventing Its drifting and covering
other land. For some years the Gov
eminent has been setting some of the
beaches with sedge or grass to prevent
the shifting of the coast line, and the
formation Of sand bars In streams by
the blowing or washing Of sand from
the shore, and they may find some plant
which will be more valuable for this
purpose than any we now have.
