LONDON, June 1910 p. M.-The Shah of
Persia crossed the Channel to day in the Royal
yacht, accompanied by fleet of ironclads, and
arrived at Dover at $50 L. NJ. The city was
gaily decorated, and crowded with visitors, and
the shipping in the harbor were covered with
flags and streamers. AS the royal visitor land
ed sautes were fired from the fleet and shore.
lie was received by the Duke of Edinburgh
aud Prince Arthur. The Mayor and corpora
ton of Dover presented an address, TO which
the Shah replied, thanking them for his kind
reception on entering her Majesty's dominions.
"a reception ," he said, (Which made him feel
that he was among friends"
The Shah and suite, accompanied by the
Royal Princes, then took special train for
London. They arrived at ChaIing Cross Sta
ton at O'Clock. The building was decorated
with flags ard flowers, and the platform covered

filed the adjacent streets On aighting, the
Shah was met by the Prince of Wales, Prince
Teck, Prince Christian and the Duke of Cam

The entire party then entered carriages and
drove slowly 10 Marlborough House. Not
withstanding the inclement weather, which
somewhat marred the splendor of the spectacle

Prince Of Wales.

THE PEA WEEvIL.-A correspondent of the
Country Gentleman says:-"As to how that
pug may be destroyed, only have to say that
few years ago we had them to contend with
very much, in my neighborhooj as they de-
stroy nearly all tn, peas; but the farmers soon
found remedy that answered the purpose
AS soon as the peas are threshed, clean them
In heap on the barn floor, about foot thick ;
and sprinkle them (about quart to five or six
bushels) with spirits Of turpentine. Then stir
them well several times until you think they
have all been well mixed. Then barrel them,
and think you will never see many bugs"

PREPARATION OF SEWAGE ANE STABLE
REFUsE.- Millions Of dollars worth Of valuable
material yearly finds Its way from tho sewers of
our great cities into the sea- serving no purpose
except to contaminate adjacent waters, while
sums equally large are expended by agricultur-
lists for the regeneration Of WORKOUT soil by ar
tiicial fertilization. The collection of sewage
presents no special points of difficulty, but its
transportation TO desired points are by no means
readily accomplished. For this purpose an eff
fective plan is greatly needed. One system,
which we believe has recently been made the
subject of u patent, consists Iii composing the
manure into cakes with dry peat, and covering
the mass with soft clay equivalent substance
to prevent fermentation and evaporation. The
idea seems 10 be feasible Ole, though we have
no record OF Its being successfully put in prac'
| tce.
Other patents have been granted for the pre-
Earring anu baling of stabling manure. This
| substance, in order to prevent its otherwise Toe
| large accumulation, IL is necessary to remove
| from city stables before the straw contained IL
it is in sufficiently decayed state for ferliliz
| ing purposes. Consequently, the straw mus
be got rid Of, and as 1t can be used for bedding
for horses, or fer the manufacture OF coarse va
rieties Of paper, IL is suggested to winnow
out of the mass by means of u suitable machine
Then the resduum Is compressed so as TO ex
clude the air, to which the heat and steam O
the manure is due; and finally the whole
covered with coating of clay, plaster or &C
ment. Handles Or wisps Of straw for convent
ence in carrying and packing may be compre.
SEED with and so attached to the bale. I'll
cakes can thus be readily stored in vessels wit
sufficient air space between them to obviate a
danger of hsating while the use of forks an
shovels Is necessarily avoided.

ne find the following statement in an ex-
change: The early ducklings that realize such
high prices int the London markets are the Ayles-
bury variety, distinguished by their great size,
white plnmage, and flesh. colorei bills. If fed
with An unlimited supply OF oats, placed in a
vessel OF water, and not allowed much room to
swim, the old birds will lay freely in Winter
then the eggs should be Matched under hens,
and the ducklings Literally fed with Stacked oat-
meal and fine middlinss, and afterward with
oats In water. Under this treatment they may
be ready for the table in less than two months

The London market gardeners Pay $500 Ie
acre yearly rent for the laud they cultivate, aud
their average profit amounts to $500 per acre.
One English penny equal to two of cur cents
per square yard is equal to 500 an acre, anu
as there are nine early lettuces raised in every
square yard these figures are not at all impro6-
able; in fact some of our market garden ers sgo

Results OF GOOD AND BAD FARMING
There never were more striking in,tances of
good and bad farming than can be found In
California. Two-thirds of all the crup failures
this year could have been prevented by thorough
tillage. Not All instance has come to our know
ledge where wheat sown after summer following
has failed to produce fair crop. In some
townships the two kinds of farming are iustra-
ed side by side. In one field the crop is hard
lywoIlh haGyeslns IL the next i J j. W le ahe
TO be found all over the States. The dry wealth
er has not done 50 much to produce ''spolted
crops" as the lack of thoroughness and sys-
tenn. The farmer who scratches in five hun
dred or a thousand acres and pays no more at
tention TO his wheat fields is always in the
yocatiye at the close of dry seasons. The dry
weather has, however, not been half as unpro-
pitious as this shftless way of treating his land
No doubt there are considerable number Of
unavoidable failures. But we do not know
that there are a much greater number of fail
ures which were not unavoidable this year.
That class Of farmers who, by laziness aud
| shere neglect, invited just the Ineagre results
seen In many places this year, are the loudest
i'll their complaints about markets and comb.
| nations hostile to the farmer. But with far.
iners as in other callings, men do not like tc
| acknowledge that any failure may be traced t.
| their own want of skill or thoroughness San

We have been without pastor
some eighteen months or more,
And though candidates are ptehty-
we'ye had ut least y score,
AL OF them "tip-top" preachers,
Or 50 their letters ran
We're Just as far ~ ever
From settling on the man
The first that came among US
By no means was the worst,

Because he was the trst,
II being quite the custom
10 sacrifice q few
Before the Church In earnest
Determines what 10 do.
There was smart young fellow
With serious, earnest way,
Who but for one great blunder
Had surely won the DAY;
Who left No good impression,
On Monday one or two
Went around among the people
To see II he would do.
The pious, godly portion
Had not a fault to hndi LIN.
His clear and searching preaching
They thought the very kind
And all went smooth and pleasant
Until they heard the views
OF some influential sinners
Who rent the highest pews
On these his pugent dealing
Made but sorry HIT
The coat of gospel teachlns
Was quite too tight nj
OF course his fate was settled
Attend We parsons all
Aud preach to please the sihi'eis

Next came spruce young dandy
He wore hte hair too long
Another'S coat WAS shabby,
And his voice not over strong,
And one New Haven student
Was worse than all vi those,
We couldn't heed the sermon
For thinking oi his nose
Then, wearylmg OF candidates,
We looked the country through,
Mid doctors and professors,
To lind one that would do,
And after much discussion
ON who should bear the ark,
With tolerable agreement
We liked On DR.. Harke.
Here, then, we thought 1t settled,
But were amazed 10 lind
Our hattering invitation
Respectfully declined.

Who strangely thought that college
Had claims above our Church.
