THE CONGO RIVER.
Its Course Is Now Known from its Source
to TIE Sea.

It. Course Is Now Known from its Source
to tie sea.
The second in volume of the grea
.ivers of the world is known at last
from its main source to the sea, says
he New York Sun. Seventeen years
ago Mr.. Stanley padded down the
Congo for 1900 miles and hauled his
ooats around 800 miles ofrapids. Since
that time no part of the world has been
the field of so many explorations. We
are now indebted to Mr.. Mohun, our
consul on the Congo, for filling up the
last gap in the preliminary survey Of
the main river.
About two years ago Alexander Del
commune followed the Lukuga River
20 the Congo. This river was long a
puzzle. Geographers were divided in
opinion as to whether it was the outlet
If Lake Tanganyika. 1t was twenty
years after the lake was discovered be-
fore explanation had conclusively es-
;ablished the fact that its waters flowed
westward through the Lukuga, In
tracing this river to the Congo Delcom-
mune did what many an explorer has
oeen compelled to do: He applied the
sponge to the map of Africa, besides
adding details to it. The Arabs had
said that the Lukuga and the Congo
mingled their waters in large lake
named Landji. The Belgian explorer
proved that this was not so, and Lake
Landii is now disappearing from its
familiar place on the African maps.
No traveller had ever traced the Con-
go between its junction with the Lu-
Suga and Tippu Tbs old town of Kas-
songo, which several explorers have
made well known. This is what Mr..
Mohun has done. He has added about
eighty five miles of surveys to the
maps. His discoveries are purely of
geographical interest, for this stretch
IF river adds nothing to the .Congo's
Importance as commercial highway.
In no other part of the Congo's course
have rapids and cataracts been found
80 numerous and crowded so closely to-
yether.
Awhile ago we could not have saio
hat Mr.. Mohun's journey completed
the preliminary survey of the Congo,
because it was not then known whether
the Luapula or the Lualabia branch of
the upper Congo was the better entitled
to be known as the main river. Del
commune's investigation showed, how
ever, that at the point where these
:ivers meet the Luapula supplies much
the larger quantity of water. The Lu-
alaba, not yet completely known, is
therefore the tributary, and the little
river Chambesi, which rises near the
northern end of Lake Nyassa, and after
passing through Lake Bangweolo be-
comes the Luapuala, is entitled to fame
as the head stream Of the mightiest
'i~er in Africa.

HOW GOOD COWS ARE RUINED.

Many good COWS are practically
ruined by being kept apart from the

foolishness which should never lie IN
6ulged by the careful dairyman. Cat
tie are in their way exceedingly social
creatures, and absence from their as
sociates affect them unfavorably. They
are nervous and uneasy when separ-
ated from them, and in the case OF
COWS lose flesh and fall off In milk.
Sometimes it causes them to abort,
but this rarely happens, enough mis-
chief being accomplished without.

to punish her, with the result that the
fool is punished in the lesseneo> yield

EXHAUSTED LAND.

We are suffering here in New Eng
iand from land exhaustion. That is
one of the questions that confronts
New England confronts Msssachu-
setts. If these lands were highly pro-
ductive, they would be occupied and
used. One of the prime reasons for
the abandonment of these lands is be-
cause they no longer have plant food.
Now, how hsye they become ex-
hausted? I think largely by raising
the grains. That is what the New Eng
land farmer primarily did. He raised
corn and cats, wheat and barley, and
sold them, and thus impoverished
these lands.
The farms Of New England have
been impoverished because We have
sold more from the land thsn We have
restored to it. The question then for
the farmer is, How shall restore, how
shall build up my farm? How shall
! wisely do it? believe the wise way
to do it is to buy grain. I think it is
the cheapest way to do it, because
when youraise crop of grain on your
land you diminish the fertility Of that
land.
When you raise crop of anything
except the leguminous plants, except
the pea and the clover and the bean,
and crops of that nature, and draw it
of the land, you have taken something
out of mother earth. When you buy
grain you buy something which hes a
large msnurial value. When man
buys ton of bran for $50 I say it is
good investment. Why? Because he
buys in that $50 worth of nutrition
S12 worth Of manurial value. The
man who buys ton OF cottonseed
meal for $2S buys $24 worth OF manur'
ial value. New England Farmer.
