CHILDHOOD'S w AKING
HOURS.

From the beginning of life un
til one sleeps the sleep that
knows no waking, almost every
one has more or less of trouble
with what should be thoroughly
a physiological process. A cele
brated German, Vierordt, who
made careful study Of sleep and
its abnormalties, has stated, and
the experience of physicians
have verified his observations,
that "during the first month the
infant should sleep at least two
hours after each meal. really be
ing awake four hours of the
twenty-four. This period grad
ually increases, although when a
year old a healthy child still
sleeps more than he wakes.
During the second and third
years he should sleep ten hours
at night besides a nap of two
hours in the daytime. After
the fourth or fifth year the daily
nap may be discontinued with
safety, but the fifth and sixth
years require ten hours sleep at
night. From the seventh to
eleventh year nine hours, and
after the twelfth, eight hours
are sufficient. and such, should

MONEY IN VEGETABLES.
Nov. 81. 1902.

Mr.. J. Scott. Kemper county
farmer, shipped four dozen egg
plants to Pittsburg, Pa, a few
days since, which were sold for
81. The express and other
charges on the vegetables amount
ed to So, so that Mr.. Scott
realized only 81 on the transaction
That looks like a small piece OF
business till one gets to figuring
on an acre. Allowing two eggs
to each plant the grower would
realize about 5000 on an acre,
says the Kemper Herald and
that is a pretty good business
Mr.. Scott should venture little
deeper along this line-it pays
much better than cotton even
though only one crop per year
is attem pied.
Mississippians do not take ad
vantage of their magnificent
climate and soil as they should.
Thousands of dollars might be
made where only one is made.
Where one acre is devoted to
fruits and vegetables there should
be one hundred. Where one
man is devoting his time and
energies to the growing of vege-
tables for the northern markets
there should be a score or more.
Every man. or woman, either, for
ihat matter, vino is within rea-
= ,nable distance of railroad

year.
The man who has farm of
eighty acres on which he is try

should set aside one or more
lcres for experiments in vegeta

would realize more money on
