Franck describes a ' . . remarkable journey undertaken by "him on foot across the robber-infested Lebanon range to Damascus. Every body tried to induce him to abandon this enterprise. At one village the ; . sheikh invited him to sit in his shop . entrance upon a stool and placed an T , earthenware pet In front of him , into f which every passer-by was urged to " drop a coin. The pot was almost full when : an English-speaking villager ex d plained its meaning. The sheikh was : taking up a collection to purchase for the author a railroad ticket to Damas cus. Mr. Franck picked up his knap sack and stepped into the street. But the sheikh and several bystanders ° threw themselves upon me with cries ! ! . of dismay. It was no use attempting to escape from a dozen horny hands. I permitted myself to be led back to the stool and sat down with the knap . sack acrossmy knee. The sheikh ad dressed me in soothing tones , pointing at the pot with every third word. The others resumed their seats on the floor , rolled new cigarettes and fell quiet once more. With one leap I sprang from the stool into the street and set off at top speed' down the / highway , a screaming , howling , ever- increasing , but ever more distant throng at my heels. " Gifts to the Pope. The occupant of the see of St. Peter . + . Is frequently the recipient of strange .gifts , the London Globe says. Some time ago a present of lions arrived. These are fortunate animals , and the pope at considerable expense has : had them secured in large dens , in which they can ramble at will. All they can desire is free run of the gardens. , Another remarkable gift , according to a Paris contemporary , was a colos- : sal group in iron of St. X. driving . tack Attila from the city of Z. The , names are purposely omitted because 1 or contemporary does not wish tc Identify the diocese which in an op- portune moment of generosity forced \r' upon his holiness this damnosa h ' red- itas , which now reposes covered with rust in the Vatican gardens. _ Such gifts innumerable are constant ty arriving from all parts of the world. and : no place can be found for them J , < ' among the marbles , the antiques anct\ . . - . . the paintings ; of Michael A nge.o * .

A reader wants to know the aver- age price of nitrate of soda , phosphoric acid and muriate of potash. Nitrate of soda usually retails at $40 to $50 per ton ; phosphoric acid ( bones ) , $20 to " $35 per ton ; muriate of potash , $35 to $40 per ton. Consul Hanna , in Chill , sends word that the nitrate of soda combine is broken. The object of the association was to limit production and fix prices. Now there will be unlimited produc- tion and exportation , which will result Jn later lowering the cost of nitrate on the farm. Remedy for Cowpox. Isolate the cow , as cowpox is con- tagious and may be spread from cow to cow by the milker's hands. There is no preventive of cowpox where cows have been exposed. Treat by giv- ing a full dose of epsom salts at the outset of the attack and following with a half ounce of hyposulphite of eoda night and morning In the feed or drinking water. Sponge the udder twice dally with a solution of 1 ounce of hyposulphite of soda in a quart of water and then paint each sore with glycerite of tannin. A sterilized milk- ing tube may be used to withdraw the . milk where a teat is extra sore and I inflamed , but the tube must be boiled and baked before each use , else it will do much more harm than good.- Breeders' Gazette. Paatnrln s Sheep. Now that we have been asked the question we would say that in running farm sheep thirteen grown animals can be pastured on an acre , and one I acre of alfalfa , counting four tons of hay for the year , will winter twenty sheep. This hay : land will also furnish pasture in the spring while the meadow is getting a start , and also in the fall , when the aftermath is on. These two acres , one of hay and one of pasture , will keep an average of sixteen and one-half , or , say , sixteen sheep the whole year , or eight to each acre and an income of $4 for each sheep makes $32 for the acre. Another thing , these sheep harvest their own crop on three out of every five acres. Now , every farmer knows it costs good money and sweat to put hay in the stack , and for this 'reason ' the sheep are of the greatest convenience. They can t do the work and put on plenty of fat at the same time. - Den- nr Field and Farm. Getting Rid of 1\Iosqultoes. As pools of stagnant water , cisterns end neglected drains are breeding places for mosquitoes , Prof. Surface , the state zoologist , recommends , that all tanks of water , cisterns or vessels which hold water , or whlc . might be filled with water after a rain , be cov- ered , or screened , with a screen of at least eighteen meshes of wire to the inch. Standing water on lots on com mons should not be permitted. All shallow lots should be drained and kept dry , and post holes filled , , old tin cans and bottles emptied , ' and all breeding places destroyed. All stable refuse should be removed at least every week. Where there are large natural bodies of water which can not be drained , the surface should be dis- infected ! and oiled with kerosene at frequent and regular intervals. Kero- eene is invaluable in this connection , and it is also good as a disinfectant. Chloride of lime , or common cop- peras ( sulphate of iron ) can be thrown Into cesspools. Water and Plants. Every living plant in the field Is a water pump , or at least is continually active pumping the soil dry of water , writes an anonymous writer. These plant pumps do not work on exactly the same principle as the common suction or lifting pump , but they do the work just the same. Their power of working is through capillary action. the same power that draws oil up through the lamp wick and that makes the towel absorb water. Every grass plant , every wild flower and weed , all shrubs , bushes and vines , and all trees are steadily at work during the sum- mer and more or less at other seasons pumping up the water-day and night -from the ground in which ! they grow. Some of this water is used by the plants themselves for their growing needs , yet .much of it is allowed tc pour out of a thousand little sprouts from each plant , which instead of fall- Ing back upon the soil to be reabsorbed Is transformed into a very thin wa- ter vapor and floats away In the air to be precipitated at some other time and in some other place. All of this pumping is Invisible to our gross vision , but the amount of water lifted. by wild and cultivated plants over the area of a single ! county of a sin- gle state in one day : amounts to thou- sands of tons of liquid. Fertilization of Orchards. While cultivation Is In a certain sense fertilization , there are very few orchards that could not be benefited by adding to the natural fertility of the soil , says : a good authority. Of the three essentials of plant food- nitrogen , phosphoric acid and potash- . . nitrogen is of the greatest value In developing growth and forming wood. Barnyard manure is rich in nitro gen and Is admirably adapted to the development of wood , and while the orchard is young should be applied liberally , not only for this purpose , but also for fertilizing such annual crops as may be grown with the great est profit. Manure should be applied early in the season , in order that the wood may have thoroughly matured by the time of freezing weather , or quite late In the season as a top dressing , so that the available portion may be car ried by rains and melting snows into the soil ready for use the following season. Y7hen the trees have reached a fruiting age . , . phosphoric acid and potash are necessary for the develop ment and maturity of the fruit. These constituents are essential to the maturity of the crops that are grown in the orchard in its earlier years , but when the trees have reached a bearing age , if these crops be con tinued , there must be a liberal appli cation In addition to what has been applied for annual crop purposes. - Rural World. The Man with the Cultivator. The importance of the man with tha cultivator can scarcely be estimated in the general acceptation of the term as applied to crop growing. At this . season of the year the active use of I the cultivator every hour that will per mit of its operation in the field means more than is often credited by the I tiller of the soil. The preliminary work of plowing , harrowing , planting , etc. , means a great deal in the expense of the crop , yet it counts for nothing , practically , If the cultivating is omit- ted or wholly neglected. The man with the cultivator and the brisk-stepping team , surrounded by the live , green , growing plants , seems to be the power behind the throne. It is he more than any other influence who has in control the des- tiny of this crop. If the crop Is care- fully and persistently looked after and cultivated in season It will yield bountifully , but if it is neglected from any : cause all the former labor and ex pense is lost. A crop insures the ex pense of producing it , and the profit that may be represented In the surplus also. It will not do to allow any other urgency on the farm take precedence over "the man with the cultivator. " In seasons when there is not great rainfall the selection of the time that the cultivator is most needed in the field of growing crop is not so exact- ing. Caution at the present time must be observed , and critically , that the cultivator is not used when the ground is too wet. It Is just as Important , however , that the condition of the soil be closely : observed that every hour is employed between rains that the soil will admit of working and not be sticky or cause to bake. When the soil is mellow and admits readily to pulverizing , keep "the man with the cultivator" In the field. - Twentieth Century Farmer. The Dominance of Agriculture. Nothing of late years has so strik . ingly illustrated the dominance 01 agriculture in our commercial fabric as the story of the panic of 1907 and the consequent business depression , which endured through the long weary months of 1908. The railroads wero all to the bad. Lumber interests were at a dead standstill and "lumber Jacks" were on the ragged edge of starva tion. Manufacturers ran half time or else closed down their plants. Mining of all kinds was in the dumps , and dis - tribution agencies of all products were content with half a loaf. Through it all the farmer kept the even tenor of his way unscathed by the public lack of confidence , and the tremendous falling off in demand for his products suffered neither fall in prices nor any appreciable abatement in demand. Through all the stress and trial of hard times . the country had reason to be grateful that the agricultural situa- tion was inherently sound , and this fact alone prevented that general slump that had characterized the panics of the past. Now that the long lane has been turned and the delect- able mountains of prosperity are clear- ly : In sight it is easily seen that the change has come from the wonderful prospect as to the crops which are rap idly ! maturing. As a whole they promise to exceed in value and quantity anything we have gathered in the past and there seems but little chance now of any serious calamity to mar this prospect. The story is true not alone of those staple crops of grain and fiber that add so greatly to our wealth , but like- wise of the Innumerable secondary products of fruits , vegetables and for- age , whose great aggregate importance we so little realize. : rat ; Is true , also , that the farmer is everywhere diversifying his products growing 'everything that he needs- getting daily more "self-contained" and thus yearly being less at the mercy of the failure of any one great staple. With record-breaking prices for all the products of the farm and with bountiful supplies , agriculture is lead. ing the procession in which every other industry is hastening to Join.- St. Louis Time , , , , . ) : .

"My six year ; old daughter had the dreadful disease called hives for two months. She became affected by play- ing with children who had it.
