SOME FINE CORN.
Town rlan Shows The Country
Farmers a Thing or Two.

Mr. ]. B. Fisher, who quit the
carpenters trade in this city two
years ago and went to the country
to engage in farming, is succeeding
in a way that should open the eyes
of farmers who complain that there
is no money in farming.
Mr.. Fisher bought an old farm,
badly run down, near Pee Dee,
known as the Brame place. 1t
contains 103 acres and had never
been operated at a profit. Mr..
Fisher this year made on IA acres
of corn land 75H acres of wheat
and on another field OF ID acres has
a crop of corn that will make 80
barrels at low estimate, in spite
of the drouth. This corn will be
worth at least $3.50, but it is of
new and exceedingly prolific kind
that will sell for much more as seed
corn One variety is called the
Silver Prolific and another the Col
den Prolific. Mr. Fisher bought
small quantity of seed in 1900 and
from half an acre of each raised the
seed for the present drouth-proof
crop. 1t developed rapidly and
came into tassel in IS days from
planting and was we'll advanced in
ear beforet the drouth became serious.
Many stalks have two fine ears and
of ears in the KENTUcKIAN
office are more than a loot long.
Mr. Fisher is also finding it very
profitable to raise peas on his thin
land and pick them by hand. They
can be picked and shelled for 25
cents bushel and last spring sold
at SIPS a bushel OF course large
farmers have them hulled by ma
but even the small farmer
can make money by harvesting
peas by hand.
He is also farming with the idea
that every COW, hog and chicken
should be "as good as the best y
and he even makes money on his
Silver Wyandotte chickens.
He gives his own attention to all
details Of his farm work aud ST OK
raising.
Not making money from his
crops but each year finds his land
in better condition than the year
before.

Quaint Je ewelry-Beads as n Hobby.

Who knows what peridot Is? Ow-
ing to the present vogue of quaint and
uncommon precious and semi-precious
stones, 1t is coming into fashion. In
book on gems and jewels is this
paragraph. "The peridot Is limpid
stone of a delicate green color, some
what resembling green chartreuse. 1t
was a most popular precious stone
when our t-grandmothers wore
huge poke bonnets, with mountainous
decorations of plumes, enormous leg
of mutton sleeves, and their waists
just under their arms; and in folk
lore the peridot was considered an
emblem of chastity. purity and modes
ty" An illustration of some beauti-
full jewelry accompanies this descrip-
tion, the lovely peridots set in dia-
monds printed in their natural delicate
green hue showing the lights in the
stones. The spinel, the jacinth, the
amethyst and the moonstone were also
worn when the peridot was in fashion
in smart society.

her odd jewels has taken to bead col

The colors of the amethyst, carne-

TO greater relief by Juxtaposition with
curious gold and silver specimens. She

First Horn Children Strongest.

II would seem that first-born chill
6ren excel later-born children in
height and weight, says Arthur Mac
Donald, in Everybody's Magazine.
This may be due to the greater vigor
of the mother at the birth of the first
child. We are reminded of a fact.
mentioned later, that out Of SO great
men of this century, 80 percent were
the youngest sons.
In England 1t was found that growth
degenerates as we go lower in the
social scale. there being difference
of even five inches in height between
the best and worst fed classes in the
community.
An investigation Of 10000 children
in Switzerland showed that children
born in summer are taller for their
age than those born in winter; as q
majority of children in the public
schools are poor. in winter their par
ents are forced to economize more on
account of expense of heating; their
rooms are also liable to be small and
poorly ventilated. while in summer
they are out in the fresh air; food Is
cheaper and more varied, The in
fiuence of unhealthy conditions on O
very young child would be much great
er than when 1t is older and better
able to resist them.

Animals Have Reasoning Power.

That animals have reasoning power,
and can recognize the approach of
danger, is the verdict of the
supreme court of Iowa. The case in
which a decision was given was
against a railway company for killing
stock. In the lower court the rule OF
evidence was that the statutory whis-
tie required sixty rods before crossing
a public highway, and was intended
for the protection of dumb animals as
we'll as human beings, and this has
been approved by the supreme court.
The railway company contends that
the requirement Of the whistle at
crossings could only be intended for
rational beings, not animals. 1t Is con-
ceded that short blasts of the whistle
may frighten animals off the track, but
when not In danger, to frighten them
may cause them to run on the track.
The railroad company's attorneys say
that the court confounds fright on the
part of animals with reason; neverthe-
less. If this request for rehearing be
refused, and the present opinion
stands. then the toots on the whistle
are for the benefit of stcik as well as
human beings.

There is just now deartn of sewing
girls in New York City so marked as
to lead to the suggestion to import
from Europe, and, in all probability
from Paris, enough help of this kind
to supply the demand. The difficulty
of finding capable assistants Is felt
most seriously by persons who have
lately gone into business and have not
acquired a staff of trained employees.
For several years past the number
of young girls who have become sew
ing women in the large dressmaking
shops has markedly decreased, and
there are just now so few Of them that
the situation has become really per-
picking to all those dressmakers who
have not trained and experienced
staff. The difficulty OF hiring even at
increased wages capable women to do
the sewing required has prevented the
opening of several contemplated es-
tablishmets.
Not long ago Boston firm bought
the good will of we'll known New
York dressmaker who died suddenly.
The representative of the firm said
that he had bought the business be-
cause he was able to get with 1t the

that his firm had for years been trying
to establish brancn in New York
