Three Crops on the Same Ground

Mr.. H. D. Bundy and his son, Mr..
D. S. Bundy, know how to farm and
when to plant. They produce little
more on one acre than some farmers do
on three, it seems. The father was in to
see us Tuesday and is authority for the
following:
Early in the spring they selected an
acre of good ground and planted the
same in Irish potatoes. One hundred
bushels was the crop that resulted from
this planting, and which was sold for
seventy-five cents per bushel. Before
the potatoes were dug watermelons we're
planted along the rows, here and there.
Later on when the potatoes were dug,
the watermelon vines got good work.
ing. From the watermelons was realized
$50. A fine patch of turnips is now
to be seen where the watermelons
were, and at the very least estimate they
can be retailed for SIS. Around this
acre are about twenty peach trees, from
which have been sold $40 worth of
peaches.
From another acre $50 worth of sugar
cane was sold and the cane remaining
was converted into syrup-264 gallons.
OF this 200 gallons will be sold. The
local price is fifty cents per gallon.
On one acre forty-fve bushels of corn
was raised. A quarter of an acre pro-
duced eight bushels of upland rice. This
is good for the table and excellent fol
stock.
Mr.. Bundy and his son grew variety
OF other crops, but space forbids US max.
ing mention of them here.
Who can beat them farming?

According to NJ. /. Holl Schooling. OF

there is an old rule for finding the
length OF mans life IL the present age
lies between Il and S6 years. This is
the rule: Subtract the present age
from S6 and divide the remainder by 2:
the result VIII give the number OF years
You have yet TO live. This old rule
was discovered by the mathematician
De Moivre, who emigrated to England
from France i'm 1896 and became a
member OF the Royal Society.
The curves given Dv NJ. Schooling are
interesting TO examine. A first .dia-
gram shows the chance that every man
has of living one year longer than his
present age. At birth this chance is )
to /; at five years. 1l9 to / at ten. 5l2

BULLET MEANT OR HIM.

A Western orator recently attributed
10 Gen. Lawton the dying speech OF
"Bucky' o'Neil, of the Rough Riders.
who was struck In the mouth by a bull
let at San Juan just after ne had re-
marked that the bullet had not been
made which could hit him. says Golfers
Weekly.
A brother officer Of Gen. Iawton i'm
the philippines corrects this report i'm
this wise: Il had remarked, half Jest
ingly. that he oitered a very conspicu-
Gus target for a bullet and he laughed
and replied that the right bullet would
always find it's mark, no matter how
small. Then he related an incident which
occurred during the civil war. In one
or the engagements of his commando
can't remember now whether or not he
mentioned the place-a piece OF shell hit
the ground near where a soldier was
standing. and scared him so badly that
he jumped straight up into the air, like
rabbit. SAs he did so a mimic ball
Knocked or the crown ore his head.
That was the one particular bullet in
tended TO kill him.. said Gen Lawton.
and he actually had to jump after IT,
He spoke In a light. offhand fashion.
but there was an undertone OF serious
ness In his voice. and 1 inferred from
the story that he was. like most veteran
soldiers, pronounced fatalist."
