WHAT IVORY IS WORTH.

There is good money IN the ivory
business; for years my income has
Tanged from ten 20 twenty thousand
dollars a year. Year by year, the price
OF ivory is steadily going up. Ivory
has recently been sold in the London
Docks at the record price Of S453 per
hundredweight; and "cut points for
billiard balls bring $50 per hundred
weight or three times the quotation
ruling a couple of decades ago. Pretty
soon. choice ivory will command $4,000
a ton, and there viii be precious little
in the market at that. Big consumers
of ivory such as the worlds great
eviauo-makers, cutters. brush makers,
Tbilliard-ban turner's, and so on, are be-
ginning to wonder what must be done
a bout it.

finest Of all ivory, and the thickest

not unlike those OF the Ozark fruit

cilities for transportation" says
Prof. w. NJ. Munson, Of the West Vir-
ginia experiment station. With Bal
timore, New York, Washington, Phil
adelphia, Pittsburg and the hundreds
of mining and factory towns at her
very door, this State Is unusually IA
vored in regard to disposing of all
agricultural products. The hills of
Mineral, Morgan and Hampshire coun-
ties, many OF them not valuable for
other agricultural purposes, are al
ready famous as the home of some
of the best peach orchards in the
country, and the fame OF these Or
chards, as well as a very small guam.

has extended far beyond the confines

Among the latter may be mentioned
the attempt to grow peaches on appls
