Big Money Made in BuCkWheat
Crop.

Somerset, KY, Nov. %. In the
Science Hill section of Pulaski coun-
ty, covering an area of a few small
miles, the farmers raised and sold 10
600 bushels of buckwheat at a price of
ST. and $1.25 a bushel, and are now
jingling about S75, 900 in their pockets,
The price has now advanced to Sl.50
bushel This industry in Pulaski
attracted buyers from the East, and
at one time there were dozen men
here to bid OH the corn. The farmers,
with the aid of the county agent, or
ganized a farmers club and held out
for the prices which they received.
Last year the crop only brought 60
cents buShel.
When it is known that this crop can
be sown after wheat is taken off, and
that it does not drain the land of its
fertility like many other crops, it is
predicted that in the near future it
will rival the tobacco and hemp crops
as a money producer for Kentucky
farmers.
Two crops can be grown from the
same land in one year, and it pro-
duceS as many bushels to the acre as
winter wheat. 1t is very likely that
mill will be established here for the
purpose of manufacturing buckwheat

What Wears Out a President.

My sustained mental work in the
presidency was not equal in amount
or in time consumed to that which l
was obliged to devote to my judicial
duties, or indeed to that which have
done in my university lectures at Yale
and elsewhere since | left the White
House. | had many assistants in my
Cabinet officers and their Subordi-
mates, who Investigated aud reviewed
the reasons for and against an issue,
and thus reduced the labor of the
President to that of making the de-
ciSsion, but the strain of the work was,
nevertheless, greater than any l have
undertaken.
The President daily consumes a
great amount of vital energy in meet
ing persons who present him questions
that he must decide promptly and yet
wisely, and in resisting pressure from
those whose motives are mixed. L
soon came to understand that there is
something besides the exercise of men,
tai processes, something besides the
investigation of facts and the arrange
ment of arguments, that can exhaust
you physically and mentally, A Pres
ident will feel as limp as rag after a
long day; yet during that day he may
not have done any real intellectual
work.-Ex President Taft in Youths
Companion.
