WD. Hewes Clr toe HE farm gardens, “market gardens’ and today are the producers of a multitude of vegetables” almost unknown fifty years ago. In the census of 1890 the large increase in garden products was recog nized, and a systematic count of their bulk and value was made. It is possible, therefore, to make a ten-year compar json of the increase of such products, and this records the remarkable increase of from 190 percent to 400 percent in the five several divigions of the country. The North Atlan tic states had a well-developed industry In "garden products” before 1880, which accounts for its relatively low increase. However, 190 percent in ten years, while the population increased only a trifle over 20 percent, is amazing Could our great granddaddies, who thought tomatoes poisonous, and our greatgrandmothers, who grew them as ornamental plants in window pots, un der the attractive name of “love apples,” come back and realize that over 30, 000,000 bushels of the pretty, poisonous vegetables are eaten as a common and healthful food, they would surely realize that time works wonderful changes Another interesting statement is that the lettuce crop of the South has so in creased that in the spring of this year North Carolina sent twenty carloads of that vegetable North in a single day. Thirty-five years ago celery wag a rarity even on hotel tables. and was used by few families, even of wealth, Today It Is a common edible, occupy: ing thousands of acres in Michigan, Ohio and New York. One firmn has celery farms in Michigan, Florida and California, and becpuse of the variety of the seasons it is engaged in shipping celery by the carload the whole year round. Twenty two million bushels of radishes and 12,000,000 bushels of asparagus ure the figures for the crops of these vegetables.

To fight like the cats of Kilkenny relates to the Irish fable of two Kil kenny cats which fought so fiercely that only their talls were left. As a matter of fact, the fable is sald to have originated In an actual episode. During the Irish rebellion of 1803 it was a custom of the Hessian soldiers stationed at Kilkenny to tie two cats together by their tails, hang them ov or a clothesline and then leave them to fight. Surprised one night at this brutal sport, a soldier drew his sword and by a cut across thelr tails pet the cats free. The presence of the tails was explained by saying the two cats had fought till only their tails were left.—Detroit Tribune, Sure Thing, “firagg tells me he got mixed up h gerap yesterday.” “pid he get the best of it?” “Of course: oihorwise he wouldn't have said anything sbout it.” DEMOCRATIC CO.
