Farming Is so vast an interest that

try with what IL was six or eight years
ago, aud win then realize the immense
gain that has occurred. In fact, the
activity among the railways and the
rapid growth OF foreign exports largely
rest ON farm production.
1t is stated by the chief statistician
of the agricultural section OF the
twelfth census that the net additions
to farm resources In the ten years be-
tween 1890 and 1900 exceed the value
of all farm Investments in 1850. As
the writer referred TO puts the case:
The Increased wealth OF our farmers,
as the result of their last ten years la
Dor, equals the farm wealth Of the na-
tion reported as the outcome OF their
toll and economies from the settlement
at jamestown to the middle OF the nine
teenth century," Advances on the stock
exchange fade into a small affair be.
side colossal increment like that. In
the United States to-day there are at
least ). 100000 farms. or about one to
every thirteen Inhabitants, In 1850 the
number was 1,149,0T3. In ten years
the number has increased !, $50. 900, and
In the same time farm wealth has eX-
panded by not less than $1,000, 600, 900,
In the twelve adjacent States Of I'LL
nois, Missouri, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, North Da-
kota. South Dakota, Nebraska and Kan
sas the number of farms has increased
since 1890 from 1928, So to 2.220,0 600.
These States added $4,000, 100000 to
their farm wealth between 1880 and
1890. and still larger sum in the last
ten years.
The government Is not unmindful or
the vast import Of agriculture. Con-
gress has endowed agricultural col
leges in every State and Territory.
These institutions represent value of
$53, 600. 900. and their income is $6.-
100000. Their students last year num-
bered S1.65S. The annual national APP
preparation for experiment stations is
$7S9,0O0.
When American farmers note what
Is going on in intensive farming, irri-
CATION, cattle-raising, improvements
and preservation OF products, manage
ment of soils, betterment Of facilities
to reach markets and new uses for
waste products. they win see that their
industry is truly the most expansive as
well as the greatest. Though the pop
ulation of the country should continue
to double. inside Of forty years. there
can be no doubt that the farmers Of this
country. the most scientific and effect
i've in the world, will meet all demands
and be the main reliance for foreign
nations when their own production

AWFUL AGONY
The Story Of Stricken Woman
Whom Doctors We're Not

Fr.m a. Ne.es. cennersriIle, Iadiana.

The story OF Mrs. Nellie NJ. He'd
den, OF No. 621 Summit avenue, Con-
nersville, Ind, contains an important
lesson for many American women who
suffer in silence rather than face the
ordeal that the usual treatment of
their troubles entail. 1t is story
that rings with honest gratitude and
does not tell half the misery that the
narrator endured. Other women who
are suffering as Mrs. Hedden did will
know how to understand and appre-
ciate much that cannot be told in
newspaper article. Mrs. Hedden's
experience is best given in her own
words. She says:
"For nearly year endured terri

A certain parvenu of great wealth

An officer of the Bengal Lancers,
who was seized by tigress, owed his
ecape to a curious accident The IT,
gress seized him by the breast Of his
coat and shook him till he became un-
conscious. On recovering he heard a
strange noise at little distance, as If
somebody was sneezing violently. 1t
was the tigress herself. He slowly
turned round and gave a furtive glance
In that direction.
He could hardly believe his eyes.
There was the tigress Sinking off with
her tail very much between her legs
and sneezing most violently and max
ing the most piteous grimaces. The
truth dawned upon him like flash of
lightning. In the operation Of shaking
him his snuffbox had flown open from
his waistcoat pocket, and the tigress
had received the contents thereof full
in her face.-Cornhill Magazine.
