provement Is the supreme stake. The

be wrought by extraneous energies and

AREA OF THE UNITED STATE8.
The United States Geological Sur
vey has Just issued Bulletin 02, by
Henry Gannett, which represent the
result of conference and cooperation
ot the iAad Office, Census Bureau and
Geological Survey, In an effort to
agree on what constitutes "the area
of the United States." The abaenee
of a standard of measurement for de
termining the area led to a discrep
ancy between the tables of the census
bureau made in 1887 and those of the
general land office prepared In 1899J
The result of the co-operation In that
the area of the United State proper,
which 1a given as f,02S,78t square
miles, has been Increased over - the
census figure by 1,188 square' miles.
The bulletin gives the area of Alaska
as 500,884; the Philippines 115,028;
Hawaii, ,4; Porto Rico, 3,425; Guam

United State Senator Pettu of Ala
bama, who is tl year of age, when
recently aked what vocation he would
choose if h were again beginning ac
tive life, replied: "The high calling
of a farmer."
In the South a well brokea young
team of mule will bring from t4M to
f 50, and a pair of unbroken yearling
from S230 to 125. It is claimed that
$25 will freely .-over the east of rais
ing a mule colt to a yearling, and
that' 144 win raise a two-year-old.
From these figure it is easy to prove
that ther is much profit ia raising
mule.
Although the hen of the United
State do not produce anything like so
many eggs as our own people need,
11,600,00 were exported to Great
Britain last year. Our British eous
ins consumed last year more than 17.
000.009 pounds of poultry, a consid
erable portion of which was furnished
by the United State. It I therefore
plain that the poultry business is not
likely to be overdone In the United
State very soon.
In Iowa, near Independence, they
have discovered a new agricultural in
dustry, and that is the raising of
pumpkins in the corn fields for the
sake, largely, of the seed. They raise
the large pumpkin without any ex
tra labor in connection with the corn
crop and m the faU the eed are
extracted and sold to parties and of

young people are paying their way
through college on the proceeds
of pumpkin seed raised in the corn
field of their daddies.
