 TO NATURE.

A1ClC4tk4 ACdQ aA dbIOulil Ol OuC of the greatest electrical inventors now living. He is a foreigner, who had to leave his native land on ac- count of his democracy being most too liberal for his sovereign. He IS employed by our greatest electrical manufacturing company at prince ly salary to do nothing but invent and perfect new ideas. He has moved to the woods, where he can always obtain new inspirations from nature. A picture of him showed him at work in a suit of the latest fash ionable near transparent undergar- ment.
 Getting down closer to home, a young fellow who homesteaded near me, told me that he went all summer in his shirt tail and never saw a man out here over once ill six weeks and that the ladies did not come out at all. He also Is a genius and has since become a trusted employee or official of one of Americas most famous big millionaire. or should 1 say millionaire companies. If 1 am a genius I may follow their example when summer comes, if we ever have another summer, so when you visit me send your card on ahead.
 We'll, l have had time of it since my return and came very near be- coming disgraced for life. I feel so proud of my narrow escape that 1 think I shall just tell you all about 1t. You all know that it Is no dis grace to let few bed bugs get into your house occasionally, but that 1t Is an awful disgrace to keep them. Well, 1 had some business. over at We. so went over there to attend 10 il, intending to return the next day, but 1t rained big rain, so 1 knew there was no use in my trying to get back, because 1 could not get across the Maumelle. so I just stayed on. As there was to be a big ball game between Wye and Maumelle on Saturday,, April 23rd, re- mained for 1t, because one of the bows had minated that he might bring a wagon along and haul back q load of household goods for me, but he didn't. Charlie Walderns came along and promised to haul back a few things for me, but as it was raining that great big rain which washed away the bridge as he came back by he could not stop, but he made 1t good by sending his man and team back for me later and haul ing every thing. We'll, you see for these different reasons 1 was away from home longer than 1 expected to be, which is that which is always happening to us farmers. A paper farmer in Little Rock tho can go into a restaurant, pay thirty cents for two eggs straight up, take out his pencil and figure that an old hen can lay three hundred eggs in a year and ob- serve the Sabbath and most all of the legal holidays, which at thirty cents each would mean 500 for the three hundred eggs, with thousand hens, there Is an income of S90,000 a year from hens alone, or if he buys an incubator and matches out the eggs, they would bring. Lets see" he says, T paid one dollar for the chick en leg I bought last Sunday for din- ner: a hen has four legs, that's four dollars, then she has four wings, no, she only has two wings, that-Oh, we'll. 1t don't matter about itemizing hen. but she would probably bring SIS altogether, but to be safe, I will say ten dollars. At that a thousand hens at 300 eggs a year for each when matched would be 300,000 eggs or rather 300,000 chickens at ten dollars each, makes an annual in. come of s3,000,000. By George! and that's only one of the by-products of farming. l shall go to farming my. self" Looking up for the first time in his excitement he saw at the next table Hurley the real estate man. so he asked him if he knew of a farm for which he could trade his home, and as Hurley had the farm, when he explained to him why he wanted it he got 1t at once, and Hurley being an honest man made trade with him right then for enough eggs and poul- try for the coming year. We'll. that's the day 1t figures out on paper, and that's the way the town man figures 1t, and that's why the town mar charges the farmer so much for ev erything he has to sell and pays him 50 little. It is all because the farmer makes his money so easy. The town
