Imagination, and there is always a
tendency to make. them larger than
the facts warrant.
Because of its great value, the infre-

mystery which long existed as to its
origin, ambergris from the earlist
times has been regarded as one of the
most-prized products of the deep. 1t

to be morbid secretion formed in the
intestines of the sperm whale, but
for centuries 1t was variously believed
to be the solidified foam of the sea,
fungoid marine growth, gum which ex-
uded. from the tree and flowed into
the ocean, or by-product of bird life.
Ambergris occurs in Jumps OF va
rious shapes and sizes from half an
ounce to $50 pounds or more. When

said by some writer's family to suggest
that Of honey. Although its almost
sole use today is In the making of per-
fumery, ambergris was for centuries
highly esteemed as a medicine for GER
tain diseases, and it was long used
in the sacred rites of the church and
in connection with fragrant gums
burned in the apartments Of royalty.
All seafaring men are constantly
on the lookout for ambergris, yet
many whaling shippers in fifty years
of experience have never come across
a quarter ounce of the substance. The
amount of ambergris produced annual
ly from all sources varies greatly,
scarcely any being found in some
years, while in others a single chunk
worth 100000 and more may be
brought in by some fortunate vessel.

ed in 1891 and was finally scld in
London for about $4,000.

.ONE ACRE |SENOUGH
Arkansas Man Makes Living
From Little Ground.
Southerner Puts Secret of Intensive
Farming to Very Valuable Use
Keeps Something Growing
Constantly.

Little Rock, Ark.-How to make
comfortable living by cultivating a
single acre of ground has been demon
strated by George Higginbotham OF
Mountain Home, Ark, and his meth
DDS may prove interesting to those
who are finding some difficulty in
acres.
The acre in question ten years ago
grew nothing but hog weeds and would
hardly sprout a grain of corn. lnten-
sified farming does il, and Mr.. Hig-
ginbotham is known as the most in
tense farmer in the country. His liV-
ing is not a meager one, as one might
suppose either, for it comes right fresh
from mother earth and he lives In the
same style as the average city man
does on SIS a month salary and has
family to-support.
There is nothing remarkable about
his miniature farm. At first he made
living off it because he had to, and
! now because he can.
His secret Is to keep something
| growing on every inch of 1t all the
| time and to keep the soil both by
working it and fertilization, so the
stuff will grow all the time. Not an
| inch of his acre is wasted.
AS fast as one crop is taken off
another one is put back on. BY the
| time his last radishes are pulled a
crop of lettuce begins to show itself
between the old rows, and so 1t is with
everything. By crowding and giving
special attention to his vegetables he
is able in many instances to get them
on the market before the same varie-
ties begin to ripen in his ueighbor's
gardens, which insures him a higher
price
In looking around for other add,
lions that would bring him profit on
his miniture farm he decided on cows
and chickens His calves from the
two COWS bring him $50 a year. There
is always a demand for good butter
in many instances above the market
price, and this end is looked after by
his wife with infinite care and brings
in tidy sum weekly.
He keeps 80 hens during the winter
which give him eggs to sell every day
In the spring he raises young spring
chickens for the market in large mum
bers.
Mr., Higginbotham says that anyone
can make a living off one acre of land
il they properly tend and fertilize II
and keep something growing on every
inch all the time. "An l will ever want
to farm will be five acres" said Mr.
Higginbotham. Elves acres tended
right will make any family a living
and a net profit of $1,000 every yeal
in an average season"
Besides tending to his miniature
farm, Mr.. Higginbothm has done day
labor around town. The place looked
after the family living and the money
he has made on the outside. working
at 81 a day during the past eight
years. has paid for the place. Besides
this with the surplus he had on hand
last fall he purchased ten acres o.
land that Joined the town, which lay
well. He intends to cut five acres a
this up into building lots when the
necessity demands and the other five
acres he will farm.
