There i.-; a No a variety known na Japanese rr.Int which productf a larpe amount of low rrrade oil, but do -t fif-t thrive in this country. Spearmint (Mentha viridis) is easy to differentiate from the ordinary peppermint. The leaves are lonirer and narrower, licht preen in color and have a short

i petiole. The taste and odor are distinctive.

mi ck rn:LT is hi:at.. Whi;? mint prows on mr-st any soil, a non-acid muck Ti.'ld is ideal for the plants. In preparitip the soil many growers plow in the fall, anl while mint is the most rugged of cropa a good seed bed is d ernr-d advisable. I'ropa-'ation of mint is obtained by the planting of roots and runners. The roots are taken from an established I. Il and are pent-rally plowed out in the spring. In many places potato dippers are used to dig roots. The roots are planted in furrows prepared by the use of home-made markers or listing plows. Tho furrows are three fret ?ix inches apart and about five inches deep. Thr rows are three and one-half feet apart and the furrows five inches deep. The roots are planted by hand. A man carries a sack of roots over his shoulder from which he draws the roots as he wall: along the row and throws them into the bottom of the furrow so as to form a continuous line of roots. He covers the roots by pushing the dirt .'nto tho furrows with his foot. Many workmen plant one acre a day. cost or HOOTS. An acre of an established plantation furnishes roots to plant from 1' to 20 acres. The price of roots varies as the price of oil. It costs approximately $20 for roots to plant one acre. An acre of roots in the ground brines Hpproximately $100. As .oon as a field is planted tho field is leveled off

rvith drags or other prepared leveling machinery. When

the mint plants are five Inches high regit cultivation starts and continues until late rummer. In addition to the u?e of the cultivator boys are employed to remove the weeds by hand. "Wds not only Interfere with the growth of the plants, but also lower the grade of the oil when distilled with the mint. Mint Is harvested about the time it comes Into bloom, when minute globules of oil can be ten on the leaves, and the leaves have an especially strong odor of mint when crushed. Harvesting of old mint usually begins In July, and the Inst of August for young mintHarvesting of mint is F!milar to hay makinp. The mint is cut, cured and finally raked into piles and taktn to the still. WHAT A STTLI IS LIKE. Mint ?till3 consist of two or more larpo vats into which the hay Is pa-cked for the steaming process. The tubs are steam tight. Steam from the boilers enters through a grating at tho bottom and the oil vapor and steam pass out through a large tube or pipe at the top, which is connected with the condenser. An Iron rack at the bottom of the tub to which chains are attached Is used In the removing of the hay. When tho tub is filled with hay the steaming process Is continued until there Is no more odor of mint in the vapor. It takes about 30 minutes to distill one charge, CONDENSER CARES FOR VAPOR. A condenser is used to take care of the vapor. The usual charge for putting the hay through the process is from 20 to 25 cents per pound of oil. The steamed hay when dried is used for feeding livestock, or Is allowed to rot and Is used as fertilizer. The hay sells for approximately $10 per ton. Two crops of mint are usually harvested on well established fields and Just before the freezing weather gets in the plants are plowed under. The next spring the field Is harrowed and fertilized. By proper cultivation and fertilization the fields continue Indefinitely. Tho average yield per acre is 25 to 80 pounds of peppermint oil; some growers average 40 pounds for a number of years. The product Is marketed In 20-pound galvanized iron cans or In 100-pound Iron drums. The oil keeps for several years and is often held during periods of fluctuating prices. Duo to the fact that few insects trouble the plants and of the special prices on the products many more marshy lands in the county will be reclaimed this ppring and mint plants placed in the ground.

surely not without effect on the mlndü of his readers. Much of what is termed realistic literature, de.alinp as it commonly does with marital infidelity and its consequent evil, divorce, must necessarily lower the moral standard of is readers. True, the effect is moditied by the manner of presentation. Relation of a grave moral wrong as if It were merely a hing to be amused at. must Inevitably tend to

make it cease to be reprehensible in the eyes of the reader. Moreover, constant coming in contact with what is sordid in tho human character, either in life or In literature, cannot bo Indulged In without danger to moral health, no matter how impersonal and detached the method of treatment. On the other hand, what book lover has not often experienced the ennobling impulses derived from

the reading of good books? They help us to live life bravely, to bear its troubles patiently and encourage us In moments of stress or of despondency to turn our faces upwards to the eternal stars.
