ambitious of big fields and big farms

work as only willing men can work

their work falls behind as the season

RICHEST GIRL IN THE WORLD
seventeen-Year-Old Daughter si
Herr kFupp Has Millions at
Her C0mman nd.

The oldest daughter of the late
Frederick Krupp, the famous gun
maker of Germany, is the practical
heir to her fathers vast estates. Miss
Bertha Krupp is but IL years old. and
her inheritance makes here the
worlds rishest girl. says a London

subsidiary properties, at $4,000. 900.
These were under the sole control of
Herr Krupp, though, administered by
"a board of directors. 1t is UNDER
stood that by stipulation of the
will the works are not to be turned
into joint stock company until the
expiration of a5 years, if then.
Outside the manufacturing plants,

The Goelet fortune gives one of the
nearest instances of an heiress in her
own right, although the amount falls
far short of the wealth of Fraulein

The average yield per acre Of corn
in the south is about IL bushels,
notwithstanding more than 200 BUSH
els has been made in South Carolina,
one of the states giving a very low
average. The writer of this paragraph
assisted in gathering and weighing
one acre of corn in Texas that gave
a yield slightly over 100 bushels. Have
also seen many acres estimated by
good judges to carry more than 80
bushels. Why can not moro of our
farmers grow these heavy yields |?
What one man can do another can do
also, If he has equal ability. What has
been done may be done again, by the
same or some other person. 1t is not
the soil that does it, but the farmer.
No reeord-breaking crop of corn has
even been made on land naturally fer
tile. A farmer who knows how to do
it can beat nature in applying fertiliz-
ers. If the average, as above, is II
bushels per acre, what is the smallest
yield, for We know that very many
farmers grow 30, 40 and even 60 BUSH

When children went barefoot all the
year round, good, sound feet suited to
all the work for which feet were in
tended were the rule-not the excep-
ton as now, when the little trotters
are manacled and distorted, and they
must ride to school instead of walk
ing, for which their modified feet are
not adapted. The habit of shoeing
horses on farms is having a similar
effects HORSES whose duties confine
them to loamy lands need no shoes,
and in a large majority of cases where
shoes are needed only the fore feet
should be shod. On rocky roads and
paved streets it may be necessary to
shoe horses all round, especially after
the feet have been damaged by the
habitual use of shoes. 1t is cruel and

Farmers generally are careful not
to work their teams too hard, but to
give them rest so they will be fresh
and lively next morning. But some
farmers do not treat themselves as

work hard all day and finish by the
dim light Of a lantern; and they ara
SO. tired they must 60 to bed, and to
sleep. The result is they are worn
Tout and old before their time, and
have accomplished but little. Except
in cases of emergency, the farmers
labor should be done before dark and
then he should take some time for
reading and for consulting old rec
ords and making new ones. His books
and his daily diary should be posted,
and when that is done he should give
his mind good nutritious feed of ag-

There are farmers who rise by
three or four o'clock in the morning,
and who invariably eat their suppcrs
by artificial light. They are too tired
evenings to read papers, so they do
mot take any: and for the same rea-
con they only answer their wives in
drowsy monosyllables. Almost before
the supper dishes are cleared away
they are OF TO bed. and ARE up again
as soon as some occult intima ton
demonstrates that daylight is not 50
very far away. They do not oil their
harnesses. or look after their farm
tools, or prune their apple trees, or
do any of the little hundred and one
things that are the real profit OF .
farm because they have no time.
Work is always crowding them, and
they are too tired TO make plans be-
tween one days labor and another
And so this work goes on, year after
year. and they are scarce able to hold
their own. They would pint in few
more hours if they could. but already
they are robbing both ends of the
night. and it is impossible for them
to piffer more. They are too busy
and too tired to reason the thing out
tiispassionately, so they become mo-
rose and disconsented and disheart-
sned. They have neighbors who are
prosperous and successful, and whose
children have time TO attend school
and social gatherings. and they won
der rebelliously, for the neighbors do
not work as hard as they. These
farmers are doing their best, in their
wy. to get ON in the world; and they
are working just as earnestly and
lovingly for the welfare Of their chill
dren rs are their prosperous neigh
bora But they have never been
brought TO understand the value Of
