Add that the gorilla usually lives in
the depth of forests, where the light
is so dim that it is difficult to see
any object clearly at a distance of
more than a few yards, and it is not
to be wondered at that natives have
invested it with attributes even more
horrific than those which it possess
es. Many believe the ggrilla to be hu

a beast, it is often informed with
the 'transmigrated spirits of trie hu
man dead. It is said to lie in wait

patch of turnips ever seen in this con
munity. The largest weighed about
6 pounds. I sold a large quanity very
readily at 50 cents pre bushel, and
have put up quite a quanity for win
ter use.
Estimating from the yield I made
the average cost per acre would not
exceed $20, and the market value
would be $240, leaving a profit of $
220, less the cost of marketing them,
which for me would not exceed $20.
Thus we have a net profit of $200
per acre.

hardly a sob is heard, to drag it
man or woman up to its lurking
place. It is credited with capturing
and stealing women and carrying
tii em off to keep them in the forests,
and, armed with clubs, is said to at
tack and beat off elephants. The for

pared with other beasts, however, is
not an easy maiiter to pass upon. In
Africa it is noteworthy that the lion
has exterminated the gorilla within
its territory and that the gorilla
has driven out the lion.
In Borneo the most serious neigh
bors of the orang are the python and
the crocodile, and the natives say
that the ape overcomes them both,
the python by seizing and biting it,
and the crocodile by leaping on its
back, clutching it by the upper jaw,
and sheer main strength tearing
it. open. The name "orang" is in it
self a title of honor, meaning rough

and to "the wild men." Perhaps, Iioa

My net profit on sweet potatoes

land grow something of value and
not noxious weeds and worthless
grass. And, by the way, the modern
farmer need net tangle his brain by
studying what he thinks are the best
methods for Idling weeds and worth
less grass. Frequent cultivation with
labor saving implements will do it.

with the best of results. I was both

pains across my ikdneys. Mornings
upon arising, my back was weak and
lame and it was some time before I
could get about with any degree of
