Our Aggn1luk>u,al Interests.
at THE Paris Exposition
The Corn Kitchen and Other Features Are Attracting
Much Attention from Visitors

II VERY visitor to the Paris expo
n sition comments on the elaborate
displays made by the United
States in every department. And we'll
they may, for there is no other foreign
nation represented inside the gates
that has prepared such an elaborate
exhibit as America.
There is probably as much or more
interest taken in the agricultural ex-
hibits from America as the exhibits
in other departments of the fair. This
interest is shown by every class of
visitor unless one excerpts the society
people of Paris. As yet there has been
but small attendance of the peasant
classes from the nations of Europe,
but the few that I have seen within
the grounds have turned to the Amer
lean agricultural exhibit and exam
ined it, with care: 10 these people
America is still the land of plenty,
OF glorious possibilities, of free homes.
The land to which relatives or friends
have gone and prospered. 10 them
the agricultural exhibits are directly
in their line Of thought, and they
view with wonder the products of the
soil.
/ have watched them and wondered
1t this exhibit would not tend to in
crease the immigration to our shores

tude bestowed by an approving COLI
science. Probably the inclination t,
aid never suggests itself, they are so
hedged in by religious regulations
which, viewed in a certain light. are
certainly monstrous. There are some
among us who prefer the teachings of
Buddha to those of Christ, but if they
would for time leave the contempla-
ton of some of the finer points of the
Hindoo religion and study the details
as they affect the people more, there
would certainly be diminished num-
her of followers in the wake of some
not overly clean looking East Indians
who have secured for themselves no.
.toriety in our large cities during the
last few years. While wealthy Hin
docs are comfortably following the
dictates of their morally famine
stricken ,consciences and refusing the
help they could so easily render to the
poor Of their own land, Christian mis-
ssionaries are doing all within their
power to alleviate the suffering. BY
the aid Of native preachers they gather
IN all the furnishing children possible
and care for them. The English gov.
eminent IL doing its utmost, but the
people often refuse to be placed on the.
relief list until too weak to recover.

ducers OF fine fruits and grains. In
this way the department was assured
OF the very best specimens that could
be produced, and in many instances
the fruits were grown with the spe-
cial idea in view of having them en-
hibited at Paris. The agricultural de-
partment has had charge of the in
stallation of 1,4CO collective exhibits
at Paris. These goods have been fur.
nished by the various agricultural
men throughout the country, and
have been arranged in the various
buildings as our commissioners
thought best. Commissioner Peck al
lotted space to'4oo individual exhibit
ors, who shipped and installed at
their own expense displays OF: fine ag-
ricultural products and various types
of farming implements.
The exhibit in charge of the govern
ment officials is very extensive and in
cludes wheat and corn in all stages
of growth, as we'll as large quantities
of the ripened grain, samples of which
are furnished for personal inspection.
There is also comprehensive exhibit
of all varieties of vegetable food prod.
ucts. including rye. barley, rice, mil
let, beans, peas, beets. The dairy in.
terests are also fully represented and
there are samples of American cheese,
butter and preserved milk. The ined.
ible agricultural products include cot.
ton, flax, hemp, fats, oils. etc.

some of the relief works men are con

1t is fearful sight, but seems the only
way of protecting the living.
The suffering seems to be largely
among the agricultural classes, Of
which so per cent. of the population Of
India is composed. Large sections Of
the arabic lands depend entirely TO,
their productiyeness upon irrigation
the source of which is in rivers and
streams which are supplied by rains
Every recorded Indian famine may be
traced to failure of rainfall. Anumbe1
OF years ago the Indian forester an,
nounced his theory that the RESPONSE
bility for droughts might be placed
upon the great herds of goats (some'
times $4,000 or 100000, always appar'
emily starving, which attack the shoot.
OF every young tree in the course .o1
their depredations. Thus when old
trees die off there are no young ones
to take their places. Rains, which de.
pend so largely upon the existence oil
forests, fall short, then famine and
plague follow. The early rains come
in June, are known as the southwest
monsoons and originate in vapors
drawn from the Indian ocean and the
Arabic sea. Breaking on the Malaba1
coast for three months, they may be
expected to flood India, the average
fall of water being about 100 inches.
At such times crops are abundant.
But when these rains fail, as was the
case last year, famine is the result.
The slater" rains or northeast mon.
soons arrive in November and Decem.
Der from the Bay of Bengal. These also
failed last year. Insufficient rainfall
may be expected at intervals of from
five to twenty-five years. Existing con.
ditions are the worst recorded. The
present drought, following so closely
that of 1897, has rendered the ground
so dry that there is scarcity of wa.
ter, even for drinking purposes, here.

1t is expected that this exposition will
prove of inestimable value to the
farming interests of America, because
OF the demand that our exhibits will
produce for American-grown products.
With this idea in view everything pos
sible has been done to show the ex-
cellence of American wheat, corn, rye
and other cereal products, while equal
attention has been given to display
ing the best of our apples, pears and
other fruits. 1t is believed that the
Paris exposition presents splendid
opportunity to make all Europe we'll
acquainted with the possibilities OF
this country as grain and fruit pro-
Queer. The agricultural department
has gone into the present exhibition
with the sole idea of helping the farm
ing and export interests, and it is be-
lieved that as a result of this exhi-
bition large foreign demand will
be created for many of our goods
which are now Kept entirely at home.
Commissioner General Peck assured
me that the preliminary work of Sc
Letting specimens for Paris was be-
gun nearly a year ago. The depart
nent designated certain farmers in
various parts of the country to fur
nish samples for Paris. These men
were selected on account of their rep.
utations as expert growers and pro-

Afull-grown man at the relief works
may only receive four cents per day.
However, five cents daily will keep
Hindoo alive indefinitely, for, in his
land, the supporting of life on mini

to IN art. A few grains of rice, sup.
plemented with roots and grass seed,
will furnish him fair meal. When
the garrison of the British fort at the

Especial Correspondence

4 BOVE the noise of everyday
n events, the clamor of political
intriguers, the din of more or
less disreputable warfare, the cry of
starving India, increasing in volume
from day to day, so demands for itself
hearing that it can no longer be dis
regarded. How much longer the lives
of white men in the outlying districts
will be safe, while the natives are ex-
periencing death in it's most CHASTITY
forms, is question which is beginning
to agitate that portion of the public
mind which is personally interested in
the fate of that unhappy country.
White men are already regarded by the
ignorant classes as responsible for .
great amount of the suffering; but,
while there may be grounds for COM
plant, it is certain that no nation
would have accomplished more than
has England while laboring at such a
disadvantage. OF course, mistakes
have been made. In the distant past,
conditions, to a certain extent, righted
themselves. During years of drought,
followed by famine, the population
was so decimated that in the succeed
ing years of plenty there was an
abundance for all. But, as it was noted
that the drought usually affected but
one or two provinces at time, the
government caused the poorer people
to be moved around from place to
place, thus preserving life, until. at
present, in territory but little over
half as large as the United States,
there is a population OF 100000, 900 OF
people. During the last two years tho
drought has become general and now
100000 are suffering from the
famine which, with slow insistence,
seems likely to desolate the entire
country. In its wake follow bubonic
plague, cholera and smallpox. The
germs of all these diseases find the best
