BACK TO
THE FARM
VII. How Some Men Have
Succeeded on the Farm.
BY C. v. GREGORY

copyright, 1910, by American Press Asso-
ciation.l
~ HERE are many millionaire
farmers, but most of them
have made their millions else
where and are spending them
on rural estates merely to crafty a
fancy. There are a number of men,
however, who have made millions on
the farm. 1t is not such an easy thing
to do, but the success Of these men
shows some of the possibilities that
the farm holds for the man who de-
sires to make money in large amounts.
Probably the most notable of the
men who have made fortunes on the
farm is David Rankin. When David
Rankin was married he handed the
preacher his last five dollar bill with
the remark that now he could start
square with the world He bought
land on time and borrowed money to
buy cattle. His first purchases were
in Illinois. Later he removed to Mis-
souri,, attracted by the cheap prairie
land that needed only little drainage
to make it yield abundantly. Today
David Rankin owns nearly 26,000 acres
of this same Missouri land. and it

Tortoise Shall.

What il known as tortoise shelp
consists of the thin outer scales
which overlie the shell Of species
of sea turtle. The Smelling process
consists in spreading dried leaves
or grass evenly over the back and
then setting them on fire. The heat
causes the shell to separate at the
joints, but does not injure it. a
large blade is then inserted hori-
zontally between the laminae, which
are gently pried from the back.
Many turtles do not survive the
process, but most Of them live and
get Q new covering, just as q man
will grow finger nail in place Of
one he may lose.

a NARROW ESCAPE.
Curious Adventure With = Tiger on o.
Mountain Ledqe.

Perhaps no mans life was ever
saved to him by more curious cir
cumstance than that attending the
experience of captain Of the Ben
gal lancers. He had been on visit
to a civilian friend in Rajputana
and went out for a walk In the
country about sunset.
After going four or five miles he
found himself in barrow path on
the side Of a steep hill. The path
was mere ledge in the rock, with
a deep chasm on one side and wall
of solid rock on the other. 1t was
not pleasant place in which to
come face to face with big tiger,
but that was just what happened to
the captain.
1t was too late to withdraw, SO he
determined to brave it out. The
animal had evidently been asleep,
for it continued for few moments
to lick itself into full wakefulness.
The captain stood still, with his
eyes fixed on the beast. Presently
the tiger took few steps forward
and made dash at him. Luckily
its teeth seized him by the flap Of
his coat, just over the breast, SO
that he was not hurt by the blow.
Then the captain had chance to
appreciate the feelings of mouse
when it is shaken by a cat. The
tiger shook him till his senses left
him. Perhaps it was as well they
did leave him, for the beast held
him over the deep chasm, and fall
would have been as fatal as the ami
mails onslaught.
When the captain recovered con-
seriousness, few minutes later, he
found himself lying fiat on his
back, with his feet dangling over
the precipice. He opened his eyes
only to see the sky above him. He
dared not move, for the tiger might
be close at his elbow. So he shut
his eyes and remained motionless.
Then he thought he heard
strange noise at little distance,
sound as of somebody sneezing. His
first thought was that some one had
come to the rescue and beaten the
tiger of, but this was proved to be
wrong by low, disagreeable tigerish
growls mingled with the sneezing.
He turned slowly. He could
hardly believe his eyes. There was
the tiger sinking off with his tail
between his legs and sneezing vio-
lently as he went, his face distorted
by most piteous grimaces.
The truth then dawned upon the
soldier. In shaking him the tiger
had caused his snuffbox to fly open
out of his waistcoat pocket and had
received the contents full in the
face Chicago Record-Herald.
