best for the people Of the world
to look upon; an exposition two miles
long and one mile wide; an exposition
that is twice the size of any other to
which the public were invited; an ex-
position that is larger than the three
previous large American expositions
combined Such is the exposition
with which ST. Louis celebrates the
centennial of the Louisiana purchase.
But the men responsible for the ex-
position do not wish that 1t should at
tract by its size alone. They have
builded for beauty, as well as for big
ness, and who can stand In the center
of the great panorama without being
aroused to pitch of enthusiasm by
the beauty that surrounds him? It Is
the beauty, rather than the size Of the
fair, that first appeals to him.
Another thing that appeals to the
American, the man who loves his coun-
try, Is the sentiment the exposition
stands for. 1t Is sentiment that is
fully exemplified in the imposing he
reic statues of the states that stand On
II
statues typify, not the states Of the
east, but those of the west, the states
carved out of the Louisiana territory,
the states that stretch from the gulf
to the Canadian border, from the Mis-
sissippi to Puget sound; states that
have within a century of time been
builded out Of the wilderness. 1t Is
for these the exposition has been build
ed; it is these again that have made
the exposition possible. The lesson
they teach Is written deep in the his
tory of the nation.
To attempt an itemized description
Of the wonders this exposllionf las
brought to the doors of the people of
the central west is impossible In the
space of a newspaper article. Twelve
thousand, car loads Of exhibits found
space within the great palaces. It is
almost impossible to realize what such
a statement means until one has gone
from building to building, from ex-'
hibit to exhibit. Nor is the space in
the building wasted Every niche is
filled with something Of interest, and
the demand was for almost double the
amount at the disposal of the author
tiles. Some idea Of this may be had
FROM the statement that the breakfast
food manufacturers alone asked for
more space than would have filled all
the Agricultural building, covering 10
acres of ground. and with f,ur miles
Of aisles s5
To pick even the more interesting ex-
hibits is almost an fmpossibi2ity,
though among them might be men
toned the largest pipe organ ever man
ufactured, with 145 stops and pipes
I'VE feet in diameter and 80 feet long;
four acres covered with agricultural
machinery; the largest natatoriuni on
earth; ten acres of roses; ten acres OF
live game; the largest engines ever
built; q floral clock covering a quar-
ter Of an acre OF ground, and OF which
the minute hand weighs over ton.
Such items but give the general idea
Of the entire fair. 1t IS all big, 1t Is
all beautiful, It Is oil interesting.

Pigskin Grated on Woman.

BY using the skin of pig two
months old the life of Mary Grant, a
colored woman of Richmond, Va, has
been saved. Some weeks ago the wom-
an was fearfully burned about the body
By the explosion of lamp. Much ct
her skin was destroyed, and could not
be replaced by nature. Efforts were
made to get her relatives to supply the
necessary cuticle for grating, but they
objected. The physician in charge then
procured young white pig, which
was chloroformed, and enough of the
necessary hide removed and grated
on the woman.

There are many of merit, but we want winter
eggs. Any breed will lay eight or ten cent
eggs, but we want 20 cent eggs. Chickens should
be supplied with lime to prevent soft eggs. There
is one thing that we have been unable to manage,
I. e., to have eggs from hens that have taken a
good long vacation to set. We have noticed that
chickens Matched from eggs laid by hens that
have taken a long vacation have more vitality
than those laid by hens who have laid for a long
time. We do not build nests for our hens now;
after trying several years with as many different
plans we find Miss Biddie prefers to select her
own place. 1t causes US to lose some eggs. at the
same Tune the worthless ours do not get as many
to eat. When we have many visits from such we
put some poison IN an egg and that ends his Wis
It's. When Mary Jane wishes to set a hen. she
gets eggs that have been recently laid and marks
oach one with some ink, dating some of them so
she can tell when to expect the biddies. You
know one is liable to forget, even when they try
to set them on Saturday before the second Sum
gay the day that the preacher came to see US.

plan when sweet potatoes are grown near the
mouse to scatter on the land oats. or other winter
growing grain at the time of digging the potatoes
and the hens will feed on that instead of the nota-
toes as they are very fond Of green food of this

much starch that hens eating them become too

Just feed enough to keep them alive for four
weeks, then they are fed all they will eat. In a
short time the moulting is all over and the hens
get down to bHsiness-high-priced eggs, while
others are not getting any. We insisted on trying

Tobacco, like most other crops, likes a deep

and therefore the land should have a liberal ap-

Tobacco is a very uncertain crop, and IS de-
pendent upon SO many different conditions. Some
of them very often fail. And the price is just
as uncertain. There is no other crop whose price
fuctuates so much and so often.

TOPPING.
Then comes one of the most important ques-
tions in the history of the crop-how to top it.
You have to take a great many things in consid-
Grafton when you start to top a tobacco crop.
The quality of your tobacco when put on the
market will depend a great deal upon how YOU
succeed In topping it. In the first place, you
should know your land, as some very fine tobacco
soil viii not grow coarse tobacco. You should
also know something of the quantity of manure
and fertilizer under it, and should also take in
consideration the growth of the plant, as some
times plants side by side will mature more leaves
than the other. Then guess the quantity of rain
for the next month. All these things should be
considered in topping tobacco. As a general thing.
prime off bottom until leaves are off the ground
and top best plants at about ten leaves and then
on down according to condition Of plant.
HOUSING AND CURING
Another very important part in connection
with raising a crop of tobacco, and one which is
only learned by experience, is when it is ready
to be housed and how to cure it. | have known
a great many good crops ruined for the want of
Judgment and patience. At this point tobacco cut

ana II allowed to stay on the hill too long, will
generally get rough and disease. 1t is best TO
cut as soon as a good grain comes for a tough
smooth leaf.
HEAT IN CURING.
l nave seen a great many formulas written for
curing, giving the exact heat to start with and
Tor every few hours until cured. 1t ALWAYS makes
tired to read anything like that-to think
how little the writer must know of the nature Of
Experience and common sense is the
only sure guide to curing tobacco. The amount
OF heat necessary to yellow depends altogether
upon the condition it is on the hill and time of
year. Tobacco that ripens yellow and is cut IN
weather can be yellowed in the barn with
4 higher heat than when it ripens green and is
cut IN cool weather. One general rule bv which
you can always be governed is the heat should ha
some Is or 20 degrees higher than the
