Will Have a Fine Farm.

A'yisit out to Radcliffe Bros, Sum
day was an interesting one and dis
closed what had been unknown to as,
that as one of the first moves in OPP
ening up this $40 acre farm, a large
and thoroughly modern farm house,
of colonial design, with furnace heat
and complete water works sytem had
been constructed. and now occupied
by Art Radcliffe and family. Nearly
every acre Of the tract is level, with
fine natural drainage, and all Of a
quality hard to beat in the state. AL
though it is the intention Of the
owners to devote the place to gener-
al farming and stock raising after
getting it cleared and under cultiva-
ton, we could not help terrifying
thought. that of supposing the full
$40 acres planted to potatoes with
the 300 bushels to the acre yield COM
mon in Villas county, and sold at last
falls prices of $1.25 to $3.50 right
from the field, and then after the
money was banked, the bank should
bust.

PUDDLEs, A CAT FISHERMAN
Elnuiated skill OF His Master, and En-
joyed Diving in and Fetching
Out the Dogfish.

The English naturalist, Francis
auckland, once told story of fish
erman of Portsmouth, England, whose
cat, PuddIes, emulated in his peculiar
way the fishing skill of his master.
Quoting the fisherman, Mr.. Buckland
said:
He was the wonderfullest water
cat as ever come out of Portsmouth
harbor, was Puddles. He used to go
out a-fshin' with me every night. Cold
nights he would sit in my lap while I
was a-fshin' and poke his head out
every now and then, or else / would
wrap him UP in the sail and make him
lie quiet. He'd lay down on me when
was asleep, and If anyone come he'd
swear good one, and have the face
off 'em if they went to touch me. AID
he'd never touch fish, not even lit.
tie teeny pout, if didn't give it to
him. / was obligated to take him out
a-fishin', or else he'd stand and yowl
and MARI till went hack and catched
him by the poll and SHE'D him into the
boat, and then he was quite happy.
When Ii was fine he used to stick
up at the bow of the boat and sit a.
watchin' the dogfish. They used to
come alongside by the thousands at a
time, and when they was thick all
about he'd dive I'm and fetch 'em out,
damned I'm his mouth. just as if they
was a parcel of rats. He looked ter
rible wild about the head when he
come up out of the water with the fish
in his teeth.
I larnt him the water myself. One
day, when he was kitten. took him
down to- the sea to wash him and.
brush the f1eas out of him, and in a
week he could swim after feather
or cork.-Youth's Companion.

GAMES OF sIAMEsE KlDDlEs
Girls Play Keeping House, With Dried
Clay DolIies-Boys Jump Rope
and Roll Marbles.

When the Siamese folks get up in
the morning they do not go to the
washstand to wash their faces, for the
simple reason that Siamese houses can
boast no such article Of furniture, says
an exchange.
So our little Siamese friend just
runs down to the foot Of the ladder
for the house is built on posts-to a
large jar, of water with coconut
shell dipper. There she washes her
face by throwing the water over her
hands and rubbing them over her face.
She needs no towel, for the water is
left to dry. She does not brush her
teeth, for they are stained black by
chewing the betel nut. Her hair does
not require combing, either, for it is
all shaved except a little tuft on the
top of the head, and that is tied in a
little knot andnot very often combed.
After breakfast is over, the children
go off and find some pleasant place in
which to play. The girls play at keep
ing house and make dishes of clay
dried in the sun. Little images of clay
washed with lime are their only dolls.
The boys of Siam are very fond OF
pitching coins, and spend much Of their
time in this game. They play leap
frog and very often jump the rope.
Now that so many foreigners are In
Siam, they have learned to play mar
bles, too.
AS the streets in Siam are almost
all rivers and canals, the Siamese boys
and girls early learn to row, and pad
die their little boats almost as soon as
they learn to swim, which they do
when they are only four or five years
old.

Helping to Win the War
Same Here.

A certain party recently asked US
why we always use the pronoun "We''
1--WE" has variety of meanings to suit
circumstances. When it's a big and
muscular man who thinks he has been
slandered, 'We" usually means the
editor, the police force, the mallet.
and everything that is handy; but
when we pay someone tribute, 'we''
means just the editor alone; when we
say,''we are getting the paper out late
this week, /" it includes the rest of the
Office force mostly the devil and the
cookbook. 1--WE are in the throeS of
prosperity" could under no circum-
stances be construed as meaning the
editos-that would mean the toWnin
general; when we say 8 we have hog
cholera in our midst" it means that
the men who take the paper and do
not pay for it-are i'll. We could use
the pronoun 81, - but man in town
got a copyright on it before we came
here.

Remarkable Weather,
To.BE USED FOR SEEDING CROP
Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and
Other Corn-GrOwing States, Being
Sccdlcss, Appeal to Virginia.
Large Shipments Bcing Made.

business entirely new to Richmond
and Virginia has been developed here
In the last few weeks, and It was at
it's height last week. Several thousand
bushels of seed corn were sold here
last week for immediate shipment to
the great corn growing belt of the
West and James River and other Vir-
GINA corn growers have pronted
thereby. The business IS not at an
end yet. and the Indications arc that
the seed corn market will be quite ac-
tive for several weeks to come, and
there is reason.
1t is a wcll-known fact that the late
frosts OF the spring OF 1917 and the
carly cold weather OF the following
fall did great damage to the corn crop
Of the West and the North. While
this damage did not make the grain
worthless for stock feeding and for
some other purposes for which corn is
used Il did destroy the vitality Of the
grain. aud made vast quantities OF /.
absolutely worthless for seed and made
it doubtful if any of it would Eermi-
nate.
The Western corn growers. finding
that the weather conditions in Virginia
were not go bad in 1917 as It was in
their own latitude and that the dam
age to the corn, although there was
some, was not SO great as to prevent
its termination, commenced TO send
TO Virginia for seed and. of course.
their inquiries were directed to Rich
mond. The commission merchants and
the seed dealers were quick to catch
on. and they spread the news far and
wide among the corn growers along
James River and in all other parts Of
the state. Soon the shipments OF care
fully examined ard tested corn for
seed commenced to come in. and there
was no trouble in selling tho grain as
fast as IL came and was found TO be
suitable and reliable for termination.
This grain has been selling. and is yet
selling, at from s2.l5 to s2.35 a busheI,
some extra fine lots bringing as high
as $3.50 bushcl: that is. those fig
ures to the Virginia farmers. or course
the seed men and the commission mer-
chants get a good profit on each ship
ment TO the Western corn belt.
This seed corn is being shipped In
large lots to Kansas. Nebraska. Mis-.
souri,, Iowa, Minnesota and several
other States.
All of this sounds rather strange. for
!, is fact that in times past great
deal of Virginia money has gcne west
ward, especially to Missouri and Kan
sas. for seed corn. For Richmond to
be shipping corn to the West for any
purpose ia indeed something new under
the sun, but II is a business which in
the nature Of the case. cannot be de-
pended upon as permanent thing.
However, while 1t is on it is paying
handsome profits both to the Virginia
corn grower and the commission mer-
chant and seed dealer.

HEAVY EGG SHIPMENTS

The freight trains are little too

big egg shippers. and so last week the

Richmond for the New York and New
England markets by express. How
ever, great many were shipped by
freight and altogether it was prob
ably tho biggest week in hen fruit
shipping Of the present season. several
car load lots leaving here each day
either by freight or express.
The average car load is 400 cases
Of thirty dozen each. That means
10000 dozen, or $4,000 eggs. Last
week one concern loRded and shipped
an extra large car. The CT" carried
COS cases. 1880 dozen or 217,SoO eggs

Piantcr Scpr Richmond

Or. y. II. Babcock. OF Illinois. has
been making an extensive tour OF the
Northwest. investigating the farm
labor problem, and he is something of
an expert in this line. The doctor
unhesitatingly declares that the Teu-
tonic prisoners captured by the allies
in France should be brought to the
United States and put 10 work on
farms. and he is trying TO get the
government interested in the matter.
One of tho largest cultivators Of James
River bottom lands advanced this idea
when the United States first got into
the rumpus. and he is still OF the opin-
ion that several thousand Hun pris-
oners could be advantageously worked
in the regions not q hundred miles
