THESE BOYS WORK.
Raise $40 Acres OF Corn, for Which
They Receive S4,15+.62.

BY industriously tending a patch of !
corn all last summer three Missouri
boys earned not only the handsome
sum of 81, 1882, but sufficient distinc-
ton to have the fruit of their industry
selected to be one of the features OF
Missouri's exhibit at the Worlds Fair,
and to cause the commission to place
their photographs in place of honor
in the Missouri building.
The boys are John, George and
Joseph Christian, aged IS, 16, and II
years respectively. They are the sons
c.. A. Christian, and their home Is in
Tarkio, Atchison county. The work
was all done between May 1 and Nov.
/, and the boys are now in school,
The Christian boys accepted an offer
from Davis Rankin Of Atchison county,
Missouri, who is the most extensive
cattle feeder in the world. Mr.. Rankin
has 10000 acres of land in Atchison
county, and each year he raises corn
on from $4,000 to 10000 acres.
When the Christian boys applied for
tract of land on which to raise corn
Mr.. Rankin promptly turned over n
tract of $40 acres and agreed to pay
the boys II cents for every bushel OF
corn they would raise.
Hitching six Missouri mules to
lister the boys went to work. This
machine plows, harrows, and seeds al
at one operation. They worked like
, Trojans and soon the $40 acres were
all planted. Then the boys had
breath spell. When the corn began t
grow another task appeared for them
and three times the growing corn haC
to be cultivated. Again was requisi
ton made on the Missouri mule, ant
six were attached to each of three two
l row cultivators. The weeds were KEEP

The open-Eyed Farmer.


Much has been said and written of
the man who "goes it blind" He is
called a failure, and is generally re-
garded as a grumbler, viewing the
future with doleful and pessimistic
eyes. There are farmers as well as
mercantile men who go 1t blind, and
again there are innumerable farmers
who continually move forward with
open eyes. 1t is concerning the latter
that we write.
Everyone Is glad when they come
face to face with the cheerful Op-
timistic and open-eyed farmer, who is
constantly adding to his income and
who is always so busy planting or
harvesting his CROPS that he has no
time for anything except to look over
broad acres and fertile fields that are
all his own.
The open-eyed farmer is the indie
pendent farmer. When he rises In
the morning refreshed by Natures
chief nourisher and goes forth, it is
to his own fields upon which no man
can intrude without his consent.
Looked at from every point of view,
the standing and prestige of the
American farmer is gradually increas
ing, and, unlike his city brother, he
Is not living under even a lowering
cloud to cast upon him gloom and dis
content
The fundamental principles. hard
and constant work and thought, which
mean prosperity, are never lost sight
OF by the open-eyed farmer. To him
they bring contentment and perfect
peace Of mind which permit the full
lest enjoyment of life.
The open-eyed farmer is not a mar
of nerves and excitable brain full OIL
schemes difficult TO execute, which
when proven failures depress al
human beings. He is calm. clear
headed, free and generous, and dwelli
in an atmosphere unsuited to the crop
ing, avaricious man, shut within thu
narrow and contracted walls of cit,
existence. To our mind there is no
another human being under the brigh
blue sky OF heaven with heart g
cheerful, with mind so restful, an,
with soul so peaceful, and who has s
much satisfaction in the present an,
hope for the future, as the open-eyed
independent American farmer of tc
day.-Farm Life.

English Pork Pies.

Chop very fine a quarter pound Of
beef suet and mix 1t with an equal
quantity Of butter. Rub both into
pound Of -four and put in pan at the
side Of the stove until the shortening
is melted and the -four heated through.
Knead into a paste, throw a cloth over
it and set in a warm place while you
prepare the meat. Have two pounds
of pork cut into dice, season it with
pepper, salt, and, If you like 1t, little
sage, add very little water and stew
gently for half hour. Now divide the
paste into as many pieces as you wish
to make pies, and put these pieces Of
paste into small pie plates. Fill with
the meat mixture, put round of paste
on the top of each and pinch the edges
together. Bake in a steady oven and
lift carefully from the tins.

ing aside and pooh-poohing the whole
idea. The biologists and chemists-all
scientific men, in fact-are advising
the undertakers to get coffin measure
ments for these people at once, for
they are dabbliDg with dangerous
drugs and doing other things that are
called unwise If not perilous.
But Kibblewhite and his friends ex-
pect to be here when the millennium
begins. They are enthusiastic. They
declare the doctors, the preachers, and
the grave diggers are facing sorry

The people who hope and believe
they will live as long as they want to
have been studying the habits of the
whale, the pike, frogs, and lizards.
The whale lives 800 years. The pike
often lives to be $50 years old If some
hidden hook does not draw him from
his favorite stream. Frogs live an in
definite period. They are found sealed
in rocks that must have been centuries
in forming. Lizards, likewise, have an
almost eternal lease on life.
Why not man? That's the question
the live-for-ever theorists are asking.
The secret of long life lies in the lib
eral application to the skin of glacial
acetic acid, according to the unscien
tific Britishers. Persons who have dab
bled in chemistry are aware of the
fact that acetic acid has an effect upor
the epidermis. Acetic acid baths re
store the hardened and wrinkled Skin
of octogenarians to the freshness anC
softness of a child's skin, say the be
levers. 1t routs death and all the signi
of approaching death. In short, 4

of the fiction for which Ponce de LeoI
sought in vain.
Kibblewhite claims to have cured va
rious cases of disease which were pro
nounced 'incurable" by doctors ant
really believes that glacial acetic aci'
is capable of prolonging life.

A writer for the American Guilt
vator speaks we'll of the Jersey red or
duroc as a bacon hog, but thinks that
on account of the ability to stand ex-
posure and habits 1t is better suited
TO the Western farmer, who permits
his hogs to run wild over an exten-
sive range, than to the farmers who
have limited ranges and shelter theiI
stock in bad weather. These hogs are
coarser built, thicker bristled and
harder than most of the other i'm

A PRICELESS NAP OF FRANCE.

The average Frenchman mus
have had a definite sense of Russian
friendship when at the Exposition O
1900, he saw the Jewel map" o.
France presented to the nation by tn,
Tsar of Russia. 1t was priceless be
cause unique, says a writer in til,
Windsor Magazine-because many o.
the precious stones employed to make
it are found in Russia alone, and every
one found becomes the property of tn,
imperial treasury.
The map, which is now in Louvre
is forty inches square. The waters OF
the ocean are represented by a whit
ish-gray marble. The ground work OF
the general design is jasper. Portions
of neighboring countries are uniformly
shown in slate-colored jasper; but the
eighty-seven departments of France
are done In many colors and gradations
of color. from pure white to deepest
red.
1t must not be supposed that the
pieces of jasper that represent the de-
partments have been shaped anyhow"
laid down in official maps of the coun-
try. So cunning is the workmanship
that no joints show at the boundaries,
and the eighty-seven pieces have been
fitted together with artistic regard to
the effect produced by the contrasting
and blending of colors.
The rivers of France are numerous
and long. In this map they are dupli-
Gated by threads of platinum that,
sunk in the yellow jasper, shine like
silver. But to most visitors the chief
attraction of the map is the one hun
dred and six precious stones that mark
the cities and towns--these places
being indicated also by their names
embossed in letters of solid gold.
Naturally the eye travels to Paris
and there it stops, enchanted by the
sight of a magnificent ruby which must
be worth a small fortune. 1t is prob
ably the finest and most valuable stonC
in the whole map.
Away in the north is Lille, trifit
