His ReQimen.

"Regimens Regimens |" said Prof.
Hilary McMasters before the Harvard
Medical school.
There are too many nonsensical
regimens, young gentlemen. I prefer
the regimen of Mark Twain to all such
rubbish.
MARK had a very strict regimen,
you know. He never smoked but one
cigar at time, and never smoked
while sleeping.
'He never ate meat except with
his meals, and he never drank except
at meals and between meals.
"His father took a drug store for
a bad debt in Marks boyhood, and
among the stores were nine barrels of
cod liver oil. These lasted Mark seven
years, The rest of the family had to
get along with the ipecac and nux
vomica. Mark being the pet. He was,
in fact, the first oil trust. He got 1t

Farm Lands Increase in Value.

The value Of farm lands of the Unit
ed States is estimated at $45.55 per
acre, as compared with $4O.S5 a year
ago. S4O.31 two years ago, $3.50 three
years ago and $36.23 four years ago.
Che census reported the value of
Farm lands in 1910 as $32.4O, and in
1900 as 1857 per acre.
In recent years the value of farm
lands has been increasing at the rate
of about 5 per cent year, or approx
mately So per acre per year. The ex-
ceptionaI increase Of the past year
may. be explained partly by the reac-
ton in the southern cotton states fol-
lowing a temporary depression last
year, and partly by the stimulus given
by the war to prices, particularly of
grain.

TOMATOES FOR NORTH
Florida and Texas Lead in Pro-
duction of Crop.
Convenience, Care and Judgment
Should Enter Into Preparation Of
Product for Market-Exclude
All Leaky Fruit.
fRy L. c. CORRECTLY

(By L. c. CORRECTLY
Commercial tomato growing in the
southern states is almost exclusively
confined to the production of tomatoes
at q season when they cannot be
grown in the North except in green
houses. On this account the CONNER
cial production of this crop is restrict
ed to areas where there is very little,
If any, freezing during the winter
months. Florida and Texas lead in
the production of this crop.
Where tomatoes are extensively
grown for shipment to the North, con-
venience, care and judgment should
enter into the preparation, of the prod
uct for the market. It is always adj
visable and usually necessary to assert
and grade the fruits as they come
from the field before placing them in
the shipping boxes. If this work can
be done in q shed located ON the rail-
way over which the fruits are to be
transported, SO much the better, but
If it is necessary to haul the tomatoes
some distance for shipment then the
hacking shed should be located at the
most convenient and accessible point
for both harvesting and shipping. The
same precautions in handling the
fruits should be observed in the South
as in the North.
The fruits as they come from the
vines should pass the scrutiny of ex-
perienced sorters and graders so that
tomatoes of certain size and degree
of ripeness will reach the same ship
ping case. All leaky. fruits should be
excluded, and the STEMS if any are
found attached to the fruits, should
be, removed. Experience, has shown
that fruits are less likely to: be broken
and leaky upon arrival at. their .des-
.tinatioa if all, stems are removed than
when this feature iE neglected. :. saaz
The individual fruits are wrapped

a six-basket peach carrier. Fruits
packed in this way and shipped by
express are successfully carried from
Miami, Fla, to New York, and from
Corpus Christi, Tex, to Chicago.
For the long shipments which are
necessary in order to place the Florida
and Texas grown tomatoes in the
markets, the fruits are picked as soon
as they have reached full development
and show the slightest change in color.
The stage of ripeness at which fruits
should be picked and shipped should
be regulated by the season as we'll as
by the demands of the market for
which they are intended. During
cool weather the fruit should be ripper
when gathered than during the warm
season. The most distant shipments
should be filed from the least ad-
vanced fruits. These features would
appear to be self-evident, but they
are worthy of enumeration, for they
are important factors in gaining the
highest success.

STARVING ROOTS OF WEEDS
If Foliage Of Plant Is Constantly De-
stroyed Death Is Only Mere Mat
ter of Time.

Perennial weeds of all kinds must
be cut repeatedly to starve out the
underground roots or stems. If the
foliage of the plant is constantly de-
stroyed, the death of the plant is only
matter Of time and will be caused
directly by root starvation
Any breaking or cultivation of the
soil in which these plants grow only
serves the purpose of scattering them
unless that cultivation is persistent
enough to keep down all growth of
foliage. - g..

gum and Holland all thrown In.
Scope Of Work.
These figures give some faint idea
OF the scope of the work Of the depart
ment of agriculture in it's campaign
against this scourge Of the live stock
industry in the South. To get full
realization of the magnitude Of this
work, however, one must know how diff
f1cult 1t has been to push the fight in
the face of popular opposition based
on widespread belief that the ar
-senical bath was poisonous to cattle
and caused milk COWS to go dry-must
know that it usually takes two or
three years of preliminary demOnstra-
ton work to persuade a county to
vote for tick eradication, and that Oc-
casionally dipping watts are blown up
with dynamite by -overenthusiastic op-
ponents of such new-fangled contrap-
tons.
Now, however, the department seems
to have the campaign well in hand,
and the work of clearing territory is
going forward smoothly. Over a third
of the territory originally quarantined
has already been released and popular
sentiment is trending strongly in favor
of pushing the fight.
The department will demonstrate
the use of the dipping vat anywhere,
if there seems to be sufficient local in
terest to encourage the experiment.
but 1t will not begin systematic work
at eradication in a quarantined area
until the county has, by a special ref
erendum election, voted in favor Of
such q campaign.
Dipping Demonstrations.
The dipping demonstrations often
partake of the nature of a barbecue or
picnic. Everybody goes, the skeptical
as wei as the hopeful, and the adj
dresses Of the demonstrators are usual
ly delivered before large audiences.
After the dipping. the steers and
COWS that have been through the ar
senical ordeal are put on public ex-
hibition for several days, in order that
the fearful may be convinced that the
animals suffer no harm from the bath.
