Near the seaport OF Southampton,
England, there is a remarkable edi-
fee known as Petersen's tower, which
marks the burying place of certain
John Petersen, wealthy tea planter.
The man appears to have been rather
an eccentric individual, and in order
to prove to the world his belief In
concrete as building material, he set
about the construction of this great
tower. The building took many years
to complete, but is entirely of con-
crete, and by the time the final lay
ers had been placed had reached an al
titude Of more than 300 feet. 1t is
about 40 years since the tower was
erected, and it's present condition Is
Certainly Justification of the faith
Of the builder Petersen left instruc.
tions that his remains should be
placed under the tower, and this was
accordingly done. Another desire, that
the chamber at the summit should con
tain light, was defeated by the firm
stand which Trinity house, the light
house authority, took on the matter
Such an illumination would have beer
visible for miles out at sea and woule
have proved misleading to sailors.

ton, corn, oats, wheat and other crops
per acre. Every farmer must double
the yield of mis- land within the next
ten years. It can easily be done.
A fertile soil is deep, full of humus,
and full of plant food. A suitable
rotation Of crops-one that will In
clude more crops to enrich instead
of wear out the land, the blowing of
the land little deeper every time it
is broken and the turning under of
corn and cotton stalks, oat and pea
stubble, grass and wash will soon
deepen the soil and fill it full of
humus. Under proper system of rota-
ton with the legumes every acre of
our rundown farms might In few
years have It's producing capacity
doubled. Deeper blowing, rotation of
crops, the growing of leguminous
crops, more good livestock to con.
sumo the surplus farm products and
the leguminous crops that must be
grown to economically enrich the
land and to make manure to further
enrich the land, and the addition OF
ground phosphate rock will in a few
years regenerate our worn land to
where one-third OF the farm will yield
as much as tWo-thirds now yields.

Many a bad actor is good actor,

A man is always dead sure he is

City folks are asking the farmers to
produce more. Why? So they can
buy for less. Is that good bait?

we hammer at one until she has

INCREASE YIELD OF LAND
Farmers OF South Must Make More
Cotton, Corn, Oats, Wheat and
Other Crops Per Acre.
{By G. II. Alforl.)

The farmers must feed an ever-in-

human beings to be fed ey@ry year.
This means that the farmers must
either continue to add more land to
the cultivated area or continually

Libel on Stepmothers.

One of London's prominent medical
men has "got himself dtsliked" by
the stepmothers of all nations. The
basis Of his offending is his public as
sertion that "all stepmothers are In
stinctively cruel to stepchildren.
Such a statement is regarded, very
Justly, as In the nature of wholesale
libel. In fact, every observing man
and woman in the civilized world can
recall plenty Of instances proving the
falsity Of the doctors charge.
This London libeler would find oc.
casion for apology to the women he
maligns by reading the history Of the
boyhood of Abraham Lincoln and OF
the devotion of the stepmother of that
great American.-Chicago Journal.

UNKNOWN LOVER A THIEF

An adventure, giving a good exam

while ago the girl. who had missed 9

me, therefore, to carry off, in addition
to so many exquisite souvenirs which
you have left in my memory, the one
which has charmed me most. In

The girls reply was prompt, and as
original as the strangers letter. She
caused brief note to the following
effect to be sent to the other visitors
at the hotel: Mile. x refuses the

Mulch the Trees.

There is far too little mulehing
done. Small fruits, trees and garden
crops are given a most favorable OPP
portunity for attaining the highest
perfection and development when
their roots are covered with a thick
mat Of leaves, hay or other suitable
material. A good mulch keeps down
weeds, and renders the soil loose,
moist and porous at all times, and
that, too, with little labor or cultiva-
ton.
