1t is about 1900 years ago since the
fork made its appearance in Europe.
In 90 A. D. son OF. the doge Pietro
Orsolo had welded in Venice the Briz-
zantine Princess Anglia, who produced
at the wedding breakfast silver fork
and gold spoon. Then the high Vene,
ton families followed suit, and these
martyrs to fashion pricked their lips
with the new instrument. The fork
prospered, however. and spread over
Italy. In 1870 it had travelled as, far
as France, and in 160S a traveller
brought it direct to England.

Men with large insurance formerly
scattered 1t among many companies
says Worlds Work Mr.. John Wanna
maker, for example. has ST. zoo. ooe

a long time he carried the largest In
surance In the United States. Durins:
the past ten years. however. very rich
men have taken out large single
policies.
The first $1,000. 900 poIcy ever Is
sued was taken out in 1887 By Mr..
George W. Vanderbilt. At the age OF
thirty-fve. In the Mutual. Ii Is 90

icy; that Is, he is to pay a yearly
premium of So. 900 for twenty years
At the end of this time he will re-
ceive a paid-up policy of 100000
and a cash dividend. II the policy lad
been taken out twenty years ago at
the same age. he would have paid by
this time the sum of 800. 900 in prem
iums, which at 4 per cent. at COM
pound Interest would amount 10 near
ly s1,085, 900.
The most heavily insured man in
the world however, is probably Mr..
L.. Rodman Wanamaker of Philadel-
phia who carries 100000 in the
Mutual, in addition TO insurance
in other companies Mr.. Wanamaker
first took out his insurance in thu
Mutual amounting to 100000 at the
age of "a. At 36 ne increased it by
two additional policies of 100000 and
$500, 900. Five years later, at II, he
took two additional policies. one OF
81 .00O, 900 and the other of 5000, 900.
This makes his total insurance in the
company $2.000,000, on which he pays
a yearly premium Of $685.
The Wanamaker family in Phila,
delphia carries a total OF $3.50 900 In
life insurance, probably more than
any other in the world.
The largest policies of course, cost
no more proportionately than smaller
ones. Straight life insurance Of $1,000
at the age of thirty costs $50 year.
For the same man, 100000 policy
of the same kind would cost just five
hundred times as much, or SIS. 900.
The largest single premium ever
paid was $500, 023.2S by a man in Los
Angeles. 1t was for al income policy
or annuity in the Mutual. 1t provided
a life income for himself and at his
death life incomes for his children
and his six grand children.
But all rich men do not carry life
insurance. Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, for
example, does not believe i'll it, and
does not carry a single policy. The
same is true Of Mr.. John D. Rookie
Teller.

their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had

Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest

She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest

all kinds; SO, If we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs

But in 1873 the financial crisis struck

Some Rules For Fattening Hogs.

do not apply to razor-backs. which pick
up their living in the woods. But
if you hare an improved breed, it will
pay to treat them properly.
Mr.. Forest Henry, writing on the
above subject in the Minnesota Farm
ers Institute report, advises the hog
breeder to get all the growth possible
orally while it is coed weather. says
Mr.. Henry, even though it takes lots Of
corn. but do not let the brood sows run
in with the drove that is being fed
for the market. as they get too fat. thus
endangering their breeding qualities.
While your pen of hogs is changing
so much corn into pork look out for
the health of your herd. This is the
time swine plague and hog cholera get
in their work.
I cannot give you positive pre-
ventive for these diseases, but this
much is certain: Anything that will
keep your herd in a healthful condition
is preventive of that dreadful disease.
and at the same time will pay twice its
cost in the general thrift of your hogs.
There are several hundred hogs that
died in our neighborhood last season.
I made it study: took close observa-
ton and laid down these rules to guide
me in my own herd. and succeeded in
bringing them through without any

The Coming Crop of the South.


The cowpea as paying crop has
never been fully realized by the great
mass of the farmers as it should be
and as it will be in the future. This
is plainly obvious to the intelligent
observer who travels among the pine
land farms of the South. This is more
plainly shown by those who persist in
planting about all their available land
in cotton: the quickest and surest route
to financial ruin that could be planned
on the farm, and while this class of
farmers are running themselves, tney
are running their soil and contributing
their part to injure all the other cotton
planters by overprOduction. The de.
terioration of the soil is probably the
worst feature about it. Now to fully
realize the facts take the average yield
of cotton or corn per acre in the South;
about one-third bale or eight or ten
bushels corn per acre. This in itself
speaks louder than words that the soil
is sadly neglected by the average
farmer and the deterioration continues
worse each year. This will be 4
calamity on next generation if a rad
ical change is not made.
The great remedy for sure and quick
results for the better is the cowpea:
it has all good qualities and no bad
ones; it makes food for your family,
your horses. cattle, hogs. chickens. and
rest for your cotton-sick soil that will
enable it to produce fifty per cent.
more after each crop grown. 1t will
double your crops after two crops
peas and enhance the value Of the
soil 100 per cent.
Indeed, it seems strange that so good
a thing has been so commonly neglect
ed TO make a big crop of cotton or
rather to increase the cotton acreage.
Another convincing feature in favor
of the pea crop is it can be planted as
a second crop after small grain and in
corn. thus making two good crops. but
there are thousands of acres that
should be devoted to peas exclusively
paying crop.
If one-half the cotton land in the
South could have a good growth of
peas each year the other half would
produce in a year or two as much cot
ton as all do now. to say nothing of the
fine stock that would consume the
crop. There is nothing that gives
greater returns for the labor and
money invested than the pea crop prop
erly planted. To give my idea in
figures I beg to give my expense and
profit on peas this year.

of peas last year due to, insects. I
