A Woman's Unique Farm.


In the southwestern part of the state
of Michigan lives a woman who earns a
livelihood by conducting a farm Of a
unique type-the raising of peppermint.
Forty acres are under cultivation, and
each yields annually a profit of $40. and
often half again as much when the price
of peppermint oil rises. 1t fuctuates be-
tween 81 and S. pound, but the product
may generally be held for favorable
price.
The best land for peppermint farm Is
reclaimed swamp land, although any low
ground that is sufficiently fertile will an
swer the purpose. Every five years the
crop should be changed, or else the pep
permint will exhaust the soil to such an
extent that a profitable yield cannot be
obtained. Fifty pounds of oil to the acre
may generally be produced for each OF
four consecutive years from the first cut
ting of the peppermint hay. and usually
there is a second cutting, which adds ten
pounds more. II an attempt be made to
raise mint for fifth year the yield of
oil would fall below forty pounds and
a second cutting would be impossible.
Peppermint Is grown from roots. which
are planted in burrows three feet apart,
after the soil has been deeply plowed and
carefully narrowed. These roots, usually
from one-eishth to three-auarters of an
inch thick and about two feet in length.
are placed in the burrows as to form a
continuous line. The planting is done by
hand. the roots being carried in a bag
and Immediately covered over as soon as
| they are laid in the furrow. lest their
moisture evaporate. When the mint be-
gins to shoot above the ground 1t must be
| weeded. or else the hay and the resulting
oil will be filled with impurities.
About the middle Of August the first
crop is in full bloom and ready for cut
ting. and month later the second cutting
may be made The hay is then thrown
! into windows and left until it is thor
oughly dry. when 1t is ready to be run
through a still and the oil extracted. TIC
produce one pound of oil requires at least
325 pounds of dry hay, but unless the soil
| is well fertilized the crops will rapidly
deteriorate.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, February 5..There was
nothing very remarkable in connection
with the irregular tendencies of today
stock market. On each OF the four proceed
ing business sessions the average level OF
the railway list has been daily advanced
and while the average gains scored were
very small, the character of the trading
virtually implied some measure of reaction
today.
The market opened firm and fairly &C
tive and its characteristics at the time
were helped by purchases for foreign &C
count. which aggregated some 1?,O0
shares. Buying of this description was
unlocked, for, as American shares were
quoted Tor the most part in the London
stock market below parity with New
Yorks closing prices of yesterday.
With the course of the morning great
irregularity developed in the market-at-
. large and numerous declines of from to
nearly q points were scored In number
of stocks. One of these was Brooklyn
Rapid Transit. but shortly before the
noon hour 1T was announced that dlV1-
dend of l per cent has been declared on
the stock and this intelligence led to a
very extensive recovery in that issue.
There was apparently some confusion of
mind with regard to the periodicity OF the
dividend. The rate declared today was
not designated as meaning that the stock
had been placed upon per cent annual
basis, but, on the other hand, the direc-
tors named the quarterly dates upon
which any subsequent dividends, if de-
clared. should be paid.
Local fractions Dull.
1t was afterward intimated with some
show OF authority that in their dividend
policy the directors would be governed
entirely by the current earnings of the
property. The other local traction issues
were extremely dull, but benefited APP
parently to some small extent by reason
OF the action OF the Brooklyn company.
A very sharp rise was noted in the
Twinlcity Rapid Transit, and the move
ment there attracted some attention on
account of the recent death of the presi-
dent OF the company.

electric burners have been installed,
 the frosted globes casting a mellow
 CT light and a more even and satis-
 flying one, more thoroughly lighting the entire storeroom which goes
 clear back to the alley. Best of all,
 while the light is better, the expense
 is one third less. Another improve
 ment installed is the Barr cash car rier system that enables the clerks to negotiate transactions with the cashier without an expensive loss on
 shoe leather, or undue muscular fla
 tigue. It works so satisfactorily that the clerks remained in the store an hour after closing time last night, selling goods to each other, just to see the machine operate. Still anoth- CT improvement was the moving of the office back to the rear end of the store, giving a better daylight service in the office through the rear windows and also improving the ap- pearance of the store room by mak- ing it appear larger than before. The firm has received the major part of it's spring stock already, and the men are busy marking the new goods and getting ready to capture the cream of the spring trade. The character of the stock is as up to date as the management of the store. Up to NobC iiSdhc ANtN NbiCA Niit criterion on all things commercial. For instance the spring styles of Knox hats were first displayed in New York yesterday. They were also displayed yesterday in the Me Dougall & Cassou store.
 JUDICIAL TIMBER-As time pass es the apprehension of faint hearted Arizonians, that there Is a shortage of judicial timber hereabout, is be- coming rapidly allayed. The repub- lican county central committee was called together yesterday afternoon to look into the question and after a careful investigation it was the consensus of opinion that Ernest w. Lewis of this city possessed all the necessary qualifications for a, digni- fled and learned associate justice of the supreme court. The committee therefore endorsed him and recom- mended that he be named by the president ta- succeed Judge F. s. Nave, whose resignation becomes ef- fective April 1st. The only note of dissent was by Paul R. Ingles and his friends, who had only one ob- jection to Mir. Lewis, and that was that he rather clouded the ambitions of MT. Ingles, who announced yester- day that he had already signified his willingness to the powers that be, to accept the emoluments and honors of a judgeship. MT. Ingles and his friends did not seek the

The' of the Pastime alley will offer first, second and third prizes, to be announced later. There will be a match game in the Pastime parlor Monday night to which all bowlers are cordially invited and they may become interested in the league program which is designed to furnish interesting amusement for the next three months.
