Value of Hard Work.

All the records of history and all
the facts of common experience show
that men do not die OF hard work,
but that Woodworking men who shun
dissipation and avoid all waste OF vi
tally live the longest. 1t was said
of William Pitt that he died of old
age in his forty-seventh year worn
out not by hard work, though he
worked hard but by inattention tc hi.
health and by unphilosophic worry
and chagrin. President Roosevelt to-
day in his forty-seventh year, displays
the exuberant energy of youth,
because while working harder prob
ably than any other officer of the
government he pays close attention
to his health and avoids the means
of weakness and debility.

He has been engaged TO work on

Wheat in Excess of Average Crop.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 1.-The In
diana weather bureau, in its weekly
Indiana crop report, says:
Hay making and cutting oats are
practically finished in all sections, ex-
cept the extreme northern counties.
Generally the crops of hay-clover,
timothy, wild grass and third crop OF
alfalfa-have been secured in good
condition, and where threshing has
been done the yield and quality of the
oats have been satisfactory.
Threshing wheat is we'll advanced.
The output per acre of that grain is,
with rare exceptions, somewhat in ex-
cess of that of an average crop, and
in many localities record-breaking
yields are reported
The prevailing low temperature
has retarded the growth and develop
ment of corn, and in some of the east
erly counties of the north and central
sections it is beginning to need rain.
The crop as whole, however, is in
good condition.
Early potatoes produced fair yield
but the late crop is not promising.
The outlook for a good watermelon
crop in Knox and other southern
counties has improved.
Tobacco is in good condition. In
Randolph county it is being topped.
The respects for tomatoes are vari-
ously reported, but generally good
crop is expected. They are ripening

Large Yield of Wheat.

w. E. Rockhill, who resides just
north of Etna Green, is quite an ex-
tensive breeder of hogs. He has his
hog grounds fenced off in two-acre
lots and last fall he plow-d up one
of these lots and sowed it in wheat
Last week he thrashed the wheat off
of the two-acre tract and secured LOG
bushels and twenty-five pounds, or
ifty-three bushels and twelve pounds
to the acre.

the south section.
Cucumbers for packing are being

vines need rain.
Fair crops of peaches and pears are
in prospect, and peaches are ripening
in southern counties. Apples and
plums continue to fall in places, and
the crops of these fruits will be short.

CARRY A BIG STICK.
Cane Preferred to Revolver by
Detectives.

president Roosevelts epigram-
Speak softly and carry a big stick
has been quoted all over the world
said an expert fencing master, who
has taught sword practice in a dozen
of the worlds capitals. "And it is
good advice literally as we'll as figu-
ratively. Do not provoke quarrels;
avoid them if you can. But be pre-
pared for a tight corner. Many night
policemen and detectives carry stout
canes in preference to revolvers. The
stick is always ready in all wea-
Tiers. The revolver must be car
ried in the pocket, and only an expert
can flash il on the instant. When
you are in a STATION where your stick
is needed do no, figure on using it as
club. An agile man can dodge the
sweep of a stick, and knife you before
you recover your guard. Carry the
stick with the tip somewhat in ad-
vance, grasping it firmly six inches
or more below the knob or handle.
If you are confronted by an adver-
sary give him a sudden, hard thrust
with the small end. The stomach is
most vulnerable point, and if you
catch him fairly the chances are ten
to one that he will double up like a
jack-knife. Before he recoversI you
can withdraw the stick and hand him
one on the head or the back Of the
neck that will put him out of business
for some time to come.

THE WOODMAN'S STRIDE.
With Long Swinging Step, He
Covers Much Ground and Pre-
serves q Perfect Balance.

A woodman walks with a rolling
motion, his hips swaying an inch or
more to the stepping side, and his pace
Is CORRESPONDENCE long. His hip ac-
ton may be noticed to an exaggerated
degree in the stride of q protest. onal
pedestrian, but the latter walks with a
heel-and-toe step, whereas an Indians
or sailors step is more nearly fatfooted.
In the latter case the center Of gravity
Is covered by the whole foot. The poise
is as secure as that of rope walker.
The toes are pointed straight forward,
or even tritle inward, so that the in
side of the heel, the outside Of the ball
of the foot, and the smaller toes all do
their share of work and assist in bal
ancing. Walking in the woods in this
manner, one is not so likely to trip over
projecting roots, stones and other traps
as he would be if the feet formed
hooks by pointing outward. The ad-
vantage is obvious in snowshoeing. If
the Indian were turned to stone while
In the act Of stepping, the statue would
probably stand balanced on one foot.
His gait gives the limbs great control
over his movements. He is always
poised. If stick cracks under him it
is because of his weight, and not by
reason Of the impact. He goes silently
on, and with great economy of force.
His steady balance enables him to put
his foot down as gently as you would
lay an egg on the table.
Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1905-11-17

this country largely depended upon
foreign markets for seeds, but between
1860 and 1870 as many seed farms
were established as had been during
the thirty years before the conflict
Growers also became expert and the
market gardener found he could get
from the seedmen just as good seed
as he could save himself and at less
cost. The business of seed-raising in
creased rapidly after the war, farms
being established in various parts of
the eastern United States. In 1875
seed growing commenced in Califor-
mia, when r. w. Wilson planted 80
acres to beets, onions, lettuce and car
rots for seed purposes.
Two Thousand Acre Seed Farm.
From this beginning the business has
grown to enormous proportions. Now
a single firm Of growers devotes annu-
ally some 1000 acres to seed crops.
Onion and lettuce are staple seed
crops, while carrot, celery, leek, en-
dive, kale, kohl-rabi, Jarsnips and
parsl are all grown by California
seed growers.
While the census Of 1890 showed
that there were in the United States
500 seed farms, containing 1695
acres, the census of 1900, with incom-
plete returns, showed more than $500
seed farms. The Census Office made
an effort to collect statistics of seed
growing farms, but owing to the re-
fusal Of number of the large firms
handling seed to furnish the names OF
the farmers growing seed for them,
the Information secured was very in
complete.
Not small part of seed-growing is
devoted to the raising of flower seed.
Flower seeds have been regularly
Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1905-11-17

ing the War for Independence the ad-
yertising Of this commodity appar-
emily ceased, although it is hardly be-
leved that there was not a time but
what one could purchase seeds IN any
of the large cities Of that period.
A Pioneer Scotsman.
In 1884. David Landreth commenced
operations in Philadelphia; Bernard
M'Mahon, in that same city in 1SOO,
while in 1905, Grant Thorburn began
TO sell seeds in New York. BY 1880
the population had increased from
about three million in 1870, to ten
and a half millions. To meet the
growing demand for vegetables and
flowers. these ten and a half millions
required more than three and half
times as many seeds as were used IN
1890. Dealers established themselves
in the principal cities and crossed the
mountains.
Along with the reaching out for
trade came the increasing size and
prominence Of the catalogue. The ear
lest seed catalogues were mere lists
not intended for general distribution.
Tborburn probably issued the first
seed catalogue as early as 1923.
shortly after the civil war the cata.
iogue became more prominent. Its
size was increased and a few illustra-
tons appeared. Novelties were not as
numerous twenty years ago as they
are today; they were not given so
much attention either. Today there is
not an important catalogue but gives
considerable space to novelties.
Seedsmen are on the alert for novel
ties: they are the money makers. The
modern catalogue, with its profusely
illustrated pages while in a sense the

half-tones and color plates. The bar
rel of peas first sold in Newport has
grown to hundreds of bags, and the
few thousand packets to millions. The
modern seed house has every mechani-
cal contrivance to aid in making the
business economical and systematic.
From the cellar to the mailing room
everything is so arranged that orders
may be filled with accuracy and dis
patch. During the late summer and
early fall catalogues are prepared for
mailing, and seeds packed in READINGS.
for distribution. While one hundred
letters a day was considered a large
business thirty years ago, some houses
now receive over six thousand daily
during the busy season.
Of course to supply this enormous
trade much attention must be paid to
the growing Of the seed. The present
development of garden-seed growing
began when David Landreth estab,
Iished a small seed farm at Philadel
phia in 1874. During the Civil War
