Farmers Of India

THE implements of the India farmer"
says Hon. John w. Bookwalter, who
travelled through that country and made
q special study of the subject, ARE of the
crudest type. His pillow is simply the
forked branch of tree, one end tipped
with bit OF iron. y Yet the H.
dia ryot plows his land not less than eight
or ten times before seeding; this produces
deep blowing Nevertheless India now
produces 800, 100000 bushels of wheat
per year, and in that line stands
second only to the United States.
OF the lands now in cultivation 1t may
safely be said that they do not produce
half what they are capable Of under a
better system of culture. The average
crop in India Is about eleven bushels per
acre against sixteen in the United States,
eighteen to twenty in France. and nearly
thirty in Great Britain The British are
rapidly introducing improved plows, and
increasing the means of transportation.
AS Great Britain imports food
supplies to the value of over $500, 000, 900
yearly, she is making efforts to render
herself self sustaining. and her efforts In
India have been attended with marked
results Nothing will more engage the
attention Of an American travelling here
Mt this season than the vast area Of
wheat that stretches away on all hands,
an interminable sea of golden grain. One
might imagine himself in the great fields
of Iowa and Minnesota. Indeed ! do not
remember larger fields in those states
than have seen in the rich valleys of
the Ganges and Godavcry."

bound to New London, Conn. The
route will go up the chesapeake to
the chesapeake and Delaware canal,
thence to the Delaware bay and
through the Delaware and Raritan
canal to New York, and through the
sound to destination. The Samson
will tow it to chesapeake City, and
the remainder Of the trip will be made
by the assistance of other tugs. The
raft was built at Jamison's dock, in
Berkeley, opposite Norfolk. Its &C.
tual measurement is 1000 feet long.
The huge affair is built in eight
sections, and is composed of pine
piles ninety feet long. 1t draws seven
feet of water and has twenty.four feet
beam. Extraordinary caution is taken
to prevent the raft breaking up. 1t is

that the artistic manner in which he
handled the extreme length of limb was
something never before witnessed in the

An over growth of body often gives

Not so with John Wentworth. He be-

In 1878 Senator Charles Farwell was

west, though, being double sized man.
it should be stated to his credit that he
always paid double price for his quantum
of rye and Farwell referred to this taste
in one of his speeches. Farwell himself
was noted for his fondness for the game
Of draw poker. Wentworth strove to get
the best of his antagonist by fixing upon
him the name of being great gambler.

Rudolph Ericsson, young Swede,

connection with his uncle, the latest
explosive, which is known as extra.
lite. The uncle resides in Sweden,
but the explosive, the formula of which
was sent over, has been patented in

The new explosive looks like moist

as cornmeal can be cooked, and in
much the same way. Last week Mr..
Ecricsson made quantity of it in a
stove and then experimental with it.
A mass of rock at Shuttle Meadow
was selected as the scene of the ex-
perlments, The first trials were to
prove that the mixture could not be
exploded in the open air. A small
fire was started and two pounds of
extrallte were put in it. The stuff
would neither explode nor burn. 1t
was then thoroughly mixed with kero.

dynamite cartridge was inserted in a
roll ofthe stuff. The cartridge ex.

substance was placed on flat stone
and struck with hammer, the only
result was to reduce it to finer pow.

IN the hardest rock to be found in a
neighboring quarry. Three rolls O.
the explosive, each containing three
ounces, were tamped down in the
hole and connected with a fuse. TIL;

The result achieved would have re
