GREEN PEPPERS ARE POPULAR
There Are Numerous Varieties and

Magnum Dulce is by far the largest
pepper in cultivation, and the most
prolific; no other variety gives such
large specimens. 1t is very sweet and
perfectly reliable.
Ruby King is one OF the standards
and has for many years been deserv-
ing of first place among the varie-
ties of peppers, but in many respects
It Is not equal to the above described
kinds.

as prolific as some Of the other large

Trenton, N. .J.-Patrolman John A.
Silverstein, football star when In

unusual feat here recently of holding

Silverstein grabbed one foot and
held on with such grip that the ami

hold tight until others grabbed the

Reduce Hoo Disease,

There is no doubt that If the loca-
lions of all hog houses and hog lots
on our farms were more carefully
chosen, all feeding floors constructed
of concrete, sanitary hog wallows pro-
vided in the yards, disinfectants used
more frequently and freely, and the
pasture system of maintaining the
swine herds during the spring, sum-
mer and fall seasons followed, that
hog cholera would be greatly reduced.

Good Advice.

1t doesn't cost any more to feed
four-gallon COW than two-gallon one.
And two-gallon COW is worth just as
much to the butcher as the four-gallon
one. Queer thing, isn't it? The moral
is, send the two-gallon COW to the
butcher.

Some Essentials.

The essentials of success in farming
seem to be: Good soil well maintained,
good crops, the result of good seed and
good tillage. Certainly expense must
be as low as is consistent with doing
these things. All of which are neces-
eary to profitable farming.

PIGS EYE GIVES
SIGHT TO CHILD
Baltimore Lad Now Sees As Result Of
Wonderful Operation.

1haitimOrc Lad Now sees AS Result OF
Wonderful Operation.
Baltimore. Md, March 29.-Sight
has been given to the left eye of
David Kane, nine month old child
of Mr.. and Mrs. Herman Kane, Of
Gettysburg, Pa, through the grating
OF the cornea of a pigs eye to the
child's eye ball, according to physi-
ctians at a hospital here. Certain
tests, they declare have brought out
this fact without a doubt.
When the bandage was removed
from the eye it was declared the
child followed the curse of a lighted
candle which was moved in front of
him.. Another test that brings out
the fact more clearly is that h child
now winks his eye lid if a finger or a
small object is moved close to the
eye. The movement of the eyelid is
the natural one.
The operation was performed a
week ago Monday and the cOrnea OF
the pigs eye was used ecaus it is
said it more closely resembles the
human cOrnea than that of n other
animal.
The child's eye today is said to be
perfectly clear and free from inf1am'
nation.
