Word reached Prinevllle this

Another Mystery j
to be Solved
Through the experimental work
of the United Statea Detriment of
Agriculture, and the 'varioul state
xirriment stations, it ha been
demonstrated that by the application
of aclentillc methixla of wed se
lection, preparation of land, and
after cultivation, It la possible,
practicable ami profitable to secure
yielda of grain, vegetables and
grasses, two or three time greater
than the average farm yielda.
The knowledge of what to do, how
to do It, and results aecured, haa
been cnrefully compiled and pub
lished In "Farmers Hulletlno."
Experience, however, shows that a
very amall percentage of farmers
avail themnelvea of thia valuable
information.
One of the moat successful
methods, haa been found to be the
"Demonstration Karma." These
farms are not "experimental farms"
conducted by salaried men at public
xptnse, but individual farms owned
and oiwrated by a private Individual
who, realizing the value of the ap
plication of scientific method in
practical farm work, undertakes to

nd with the alvice and assistance
of an expert.
The results of the work under
these conditions became an object
lesson to all the farmers In the lo
cality. When a man is once shown
what to do and how to do it no
argument ia necessary to convince
him of the practical value of know
ledge as applied to his business.
Communities and individuals can
be reached and educated InSthia way
that could not be Influenced in any
other way. For the abovelreasons
we are endeavoring to get'at least

though some hunter or traveler

was probably some traveler or
hunter who had lost his way and
stopped to rest or camp for the
night, and went for water or to
look for food wben some accident

back to his rifle. There was still
about four feet of snow at the
point where the rifle was found
except under the tree, where the
ground was bare. A good rifle
is the last thing a man will leave

was left by bheepinun or some
one who simply forgot it. From
all appearances it bad been there
for several months, probably
since last fall.

SUCCESSFUL SUCCESS.
April 20 there died In the city of
Chicago one of the very few successful
men who hav ever lived.
Iteference Is here mudo to tbe late
Pr. D. K. Pearsons, the fine souled
ihllanthroplst, who lived ninety-two
years.
Having accumulated a fortune of
$7,000,000 by real estate Investments,
he started when eighty years of age
to give It away. Be helped endow
more than fifty small, struggling col
leges, because he believed tbe small
college afforded poor young people the
best chance. He also gave largely to
charity and for fifty years aided young
men to get an education.
Dr. Peorsous gave away every dol
lar of bis big fortune, reserving only
smnll life annuity to keep his soul
and body together till death.
He was doubly successful.
Many men have known the satis
faction of making much money. Few
have knowu both the Joy and pride of
the victor In making a fortune and the
pride and Joy of the philanthropist In
giving every bit of It away. He was
twice successful.
He lived a completed life.
Which is a rare accomplishment
Death when It cornea to most men
finds them with unfinished plans, or,
If their plans are successfully worked
out, 'there yet remains the problem of
the successful administration or tneir
nffulrs when they shall be dead. They
"heap up riches knowing not who will
galher It." They know the lawyers
will gather some. And they fear test
the heirs may dissipate the remainder.
Dr. Pearsons was his own executor.
He successfully administered bis es
tate while living. And be had tbe
pleasure in the disbursement of his
wealth of seeing the good It would do.
His money went where be wanted It
fo go and for the good of mankind.
Successful old man!
He went to the limit of benevolence.
Oilier mllllonnries give away money,
but-not all of It. Some of them can
not keep up with the natural increase
and are lu grave danger of "the ais
irraoe of dying rich." Giving all. Dr.
Pearsons, of nil the rich men of his
day, was the one successful giver.
Success?
Success is like a pyramid. Prond at
th base, broad as the thronging mil
lions who live their little day and
win or fall. Towering upward, Its
I form narrows and scattered along it?
