ceptionai from financial standpoint.
Thousands more acres are expected
to be planted in peanuts during 1911,
and farmers have been axious to Sc

DDS of cultivation. 1t was to supply
requests for information of this sort
that Mr.. Blakeslee has gotten out the
special bulletin, which is the first of
the kind ever published in Mississippi
and possibly in the South, devoted ex-
cluslvely to this particular crop. Sew

DELIGHTFUL CORN-ROASTS.

We never allow our summers in the
country TO go by without having at
least one corn-roast celebration. In
the first place we build a three sided
wall of logs or stone i~nclosing a space
Of four or five feet for our fireplace.
In this a large bonfire is started, dur
ing the burning of which the COM
ipany present sit around telling stor-
les and singing songs.
When the fire is burned down to a
red-coal bed, We lay the corn in the
husks and potatoes. The cook of the
party tends to this with a large five
cent meat fork tied securely to a long
pole; now covering some up with ash
es, now preventing others from burn
ing by poking them away from the
fire; while the rest of us arrange an
old disused door across two saw-horses
for a table, placing theron wooden
plates, salt, butter, etc.
The corn and potatoes should roast
about half an hour. About five min
utes before these are done some frank
%furters are suspended across the fire
across two upright poles. When all
are soft to the touch of the long fork,
they are picked u into large pans.
The corn and potatoes will be black
or nearly so on the outside, but when
opened and spread with butter and
salt we find them far sweeter than
when cooked in the ordinary way

THE ANSWER.

Writers and speakers have for some
time commented very freely on the
question of the movement of farmers
into the towns and cities, and away
from their rural homes. Generally
speaking these farmers do not take
pains to explain fully the reasons for
taking this step, so the space filters
do this for them with much elabora-
ton and lament. After a man has
grown gray and feeble tilling his hand
full Of soil, he certainly has the right
to move to town and pass the remand.
err Of life's little day blissfully, if il
shall appear to him that bliss can be
found there. The city man often runs
from the cares that beset him and
finds his proper haven of rest in the
country. Perhaps he builds or rents
a tiny cottage by some stream or lane
and there in the bosom of his family
secures consolation for his whitening
or breaking powers. Thousands and
thousands of our city people flee to
the untrammeled haunts and away
from the eternal clatter of the towns.
On the other hand a little more noise
or smoke may act as a cheerful stimu.

the sleepy silence Of his acres to the
harum scarum city. Who will run a
barb wire fence around him and put
a stay to his exodus? Not I, I'm 20.
ing to let him do just as he pleases.
Mr.. Farmer, If you are weary of the
rustic homestead and want TO come
to town, here's one hand in welcome.
Come! and God bless you and your
faithful wife.-Wil Chamberlain in

be thirty feet in depth, and will drain
a large area of swamp land, The en-
gineer has been making estimates on
a tunnel lined with reinforced con-
crete to take the place of the deepest
portion of the ditch.
The tunnel will be more costly in
construction, but a ditch of that width,
with the necessary ground for the dis
posal of the earth taken out, means
the taking up of a wide strip of ground
and one land owner is asking 81, 800
for the ~right-of-way wanted. The tun-
mel plan would eliminate this expense,
and would allow the use of the land
for agriculture which would be taken
by the open ditch. Just what plan
will be used will have to be decided
on by the persons interested before
the work is begun.
The other project on which the en-
gineer is working is an irrigation plan
for the country east of Rapid City.

practically $4,000, 900 before it is COM
pleted. The project will store the
waters of Rapid creek in months when
they are not needed. 1t will take a
ditch twenty-five miles in length TO
carry the water to the proposed stor-
age reservoir.
Thousands of acres given over to
grazing will be irrigated. At present
there are numerous private irrigating
bitches taking water from Rapid
creek, but all the users want it in the
months OF crop growing and those on
the upper reaches of the stream get
what they want and those lower down
get what they can. In months when
the water is not needed for crops it
goes to waste

WORLDS BIG LOTTERY.

We read of a wealthy farmer who ad-
vertised for a wife. AS al inducement
il is stated that he offered a wedding
gift of five thousand real dollars 10
the lady of his choice. Did he get
any replies? Well, letters by the hun
dreds poured in, and now his trouble
is not 10 find the girl, but to decide
which girl. 1t is a serious matter, and
a man must take his time to make
up his mind. He cannot afford to
make any mistake. He may have heard
that tender lyric of Mr.. Richard
Carries:
With a million peaches round me, !
should like to know
How | picked a lemon in the garden
of love,
Where only peaches grow.
What he wants in a woman is some
what as follows, and he will be very
apt 10 find her missing among those
who answered his advertisement:
She must be a dream of beauty that
will make Maxine Elliott faint and
Cavalieri faint away.
She must be an angel with the smile
of a seraph and a good mass of mag
niicent air, and all her own natural.
She must possess a perfect temper
and never raise her voice save in
song.
She must be a good cook and always
ready to do the same.
She must be a splendid housekeep-
er and not require any servants.
She must love children and be able
to care for them and raise them by
hand.
She must be a fine musician and
have a mind stored with the intel
lectual wealth of the ages, but must
never get the idea that hubby hasn't
the superior intellect and doesn't
know it all.
She must dress in the latest fash
ion, but must spend no money on the
same.
She must be interesting, elusive. gay.
of a deep religious nature, lively, mod
