A Swiss farmer out in Pawnee county,

OF intensive farming that the United States
Department OF Agriculture has published
bulletin which tells OF his methods and
his achievements.

acre farm. lie came from Switzerland
twenty years ago and settled in Nebraska
He paid $3.50 for the little tract Of land. IL

When tailor puts you on the measur-

so that you can't get away and another
man making a book on the game. he reels
Off something like this, as he goes about
you with his measuring tape: '13-2-l1-

Now, nobody can make any combination
of the foregoing figures which will spell
anything like a decent pair of pants. But

in his later operations. He knows the

Smallest Dolls.

@ HE smallest dolls h the world are ' made by & Mexican Indian girl. - known as the Queen of the Needle" She first makes a diminutive frame work of wire. This she winds with dne silk thread until she has secured the proper figure. The clothes are then cut accord ing to the character of the doll and fitted carefully to 1t. With a needle that can scarcely be held in the fingers and whose eye Is almost invisible, various designs are actually embroidered upon the clothes with the finest of silk threads.
 So cleverly are they executed that even through a powerful magnlfying glass the details appear to be perfect. yet the en- tire work is done without the aid of an enlarging glass or device of any kind. After the dressing has been completed 1t is necessary to add the hair. Even to the details of the braids and ribbons the work is most completely carried out. The eyes, nose, mouth, hands and feet are then formed.

He Inquired carefully into the Attractions Offered by Number of Places-and he chose one In Keeping with His Purse. He estimated his Expenses and Set Aside a certain sum to meet each Item. He Saved his Money carefully for month or so before he left and managed to Get Through without drawing more than few dollars extra from his Bank Account And he didn't Go on a Tight-Wad scale either-but he did go Sanely.
