N K V YORK, Jan. 21. Mm. Evelyn
Thaw continued today under the lash
of Jerome 's cross-examination. The
prosecutor spent much time poring over
the evidence of the former trial, but
the witness ndhered to her original
story, declaring it all true. Jerome was
aggressive in his attitude today, but
hid manner of questioning lucked tho
tiro it had yesterday. Ho nnd the wit
nf ss were constantly engaged in tilts,
and hotiord were about even.
Jerome finished his long cross-examination
of Evelyn fit 2:411, nfter which
Littleton HBked Homo redirect questions.
The witness was excused at 2:47
o 'clock.

id attended with some difficulties, but
it is mostly iu the preparation of tho
garden, and when you once hnvo your
garden established cultivation is easy,
and it id by far the most profitable,
crop that can be grown,
A successful farmer was once nsked
what was the best slope to grow a cer

more depended on the slon of the man
than the slope of his land, and it 'a
about the same with growing ginseng,
I think, though, if one can choose lo

east dlopc is the best, but after all morn
depends on the slope of the man.
With most of tho human rare toil of

comforts of life. The opportunity bt

there will be many that will think
enough of their children's interest, if
not t heir own, to investigate. Thorn
is not one fanner in Jackson county
but owes it to himself and old age to
insure himself by starting a small gar
den of ginseng, if it's not more than
$.T or ft HI worth for the first year. Py
that time, if he finds his ground nnd
other surroundings nre adapted to gin
seng culture he can increase the busi

It's n business proposition that appeals
to the capitalist, as well ns the poor
fanner, or any one with ti fixed snlary,
but it Htrikes me that to any one who
has land ciumikIi and is not making nny
