Rnckefeller. the man who rose from si humhle station to he the richest man in the world, with an income which probably exceeds $1."> a minute, has si very littlckuoun personality. Nevertheless, it is abundantly clear that the great multi-millionaire could never have sittained to this unii|ne finaueial position without her constant help and sympathy. She certainly shares her hush ami's simplicity of life and his! strong religious t'siilh. It hsis been said t hat Mr. Rockefeller's household expenditure does not exceed si modest $1(1.(11)1) a year, and it is known that he was long accustomed to teach in si Sunday-school belonging to the Uaptisl communion. Some time ago a curious experience befell Mrs. Rockefeller, the occasion being an entcrtainmenl given by the family lo some ID members of young Mr. Rockefeller's Bible class. The members of the millionaire's family themselves prepared the meal in the kitchen, the young host and hostess carrying the dishes and Mrs. Rockefeller herself handing around the cups was heavy, but Mrs. Rockefeller had no thought of giving in until all the guests were served. The joke was itliftt one of the guests gravely offered her a tip?which, however, she was not allowed to pocket, for it was at once impounded for the church collection! This is worthy to he placed side by side with the story that the Paris Matin, having made a rough calculation of the value of Mr. Rockefeller's lime, solemnly offered him a chock for 5,000 francos in payment for an interview of .15 minutes. This so tickled the millionaire that he granted the interview for nothing. On the Wrong Track. Southern Farm Magazine of Haitimore for June. A The News and Observer of Raleigh, N. C., says: "Two full-blooded Chickasaw Indian girls, now at Sulphur, I. T., have N uirtten to the Agricultural and Mechanical (!ollego here asking Presi- V dent Winston to aid them in securing H as husbands a couple of the college a cadets. These girls are worth from ai 001) to $.">(),0()() each and are well w educated, iitid their photographs show a; I hem t'> he good-looking. They write p Dr. Winston that the educated Chickasaw giiis have banded together for (.j !hi' purpose of seeuri'ij'. white hus- ol bands, and prefer students of agri- w eullnral and mechanical colleges, who la are educated in agriculture and me- S -liani'-s. This tribe of Indians, next, to w I he Osages, is the richest in ihejui world. No doubt the girls can easily jt find i-uilors to their taste."' ai These prae t ica I ly-m i tided girls have hi .tone about husbatid-hunling with a guaranteed stake of $2f>,000 to $50,fltit) ii: the wrong way.

Soule in Southern Kami Magazine of Baltimore for It Iune: : a The ('otswold are a vi/orous, heal- w thy breed. and their fleeces are con- ti siderably heavier than those of the ;il Down breeds. For instance, a mature ol ('otswold will range in weight from 200 to 2")0 pounds, as compared with ai ItiO to 17.") pounds for most of the ,ji Down breeds. While the fleeces of the Down breeds will weigh from sev- It en to nine pounds, the fleeces of the ni ('otswold will run from 11 to 13 !l pounds. This breed does well in Can- l'< ada and some of the Northern States, hut lias never been anything like as j e< popular as the Down breeds. They: M give their best results on rich pas-1 hi lures because of their heavy bodies, hi which do not allow them to be so ac- l< live as the Southdown and some oflli the lighter and finer-honed breeds, si If kept under shelter during the worst ! part of tin- winter season they would no doubt do very well in Virginia. Their wool is so long, however, that j B when it becomes thoroughly soaked lc by cold rains il is likely to chill thejll animals. On this account thev have In never as favorably regarded by i oi beep growers in the Appalachian re- i r: gion as (he Down breeds. A little mm change in management, however, Id might easily overcome this difficul- w ty. 11 Variations in Corn Yields. It; I'rof. A. M. Soule in Southern Farm m Magazine of Baltimore for dune: ti Two kinds of corn favorably known ! el in Virginia are Hickory King and t< Virginia Kusilage. Believing that there is a material difference in the l< -trains of corn bearing the same name, ai several tests were made to study this important question in Hickory ol King was obtained from four sources ai and Virginia Kusilage from three. It gi i< unite remarkable that the yield of V the whole crop per acre in tons should have been comparatively uniform, not varying more than a half ton in the most '\!rente case. The yield of foil- ill der was virtually the same, but the In yield of grain was not at all uniform, T there b< ing a difference of more than i pi nine bushels per acre between the best ft and poorst strain of Hickory King si corn. With Virginia Knsilage the | In yield ranged from f>l.S7 to (50.05 bushels, a difference of nearly IS bushels In per acre. These differences could j hardly be due to accident, as the sam-j w pics were grown on uniform ground ii am! received the same care and treat-1 nient in every respect. The selection g of the seed and its care and manage-j h nient in past years no doubt had an i influence, but the data here presented are sufficient to show emphatically that the strain of a standard var-' ti iety selected may materially influ- o ence the yield obtained. This is a si point that cannot be emphasized too strongly and should never he lost o sight of by the practical grower. It is tl a condition clearly recognized by stock breeders who understand that certain families within a given breed l< a;e more prepotent, have the desir- h able characteristics engrafted more ii strongly and can transmit them with greater certainty and uniformity to their offspring. If this point wore I more clearly recognized and the far- b trior seeking for a variety would se- w cure strains from a number of sour- si ces he would often find one quite su- n perior to all the others, and by util- ii izing this one ho could tnc? . <e his yields considerably. d n Mother-in-Law?Has the young t man who saved my life yesterday s called upon you yet?
