ter. The population of Pompeii at
that time is thought TO have been
about $1,000, most of whom. in some
manner, managed to escape. 1t is re-
markable that but few bodies or skele-
tons have been exhumed during the
process OF excavation. and this fact
leads to the opinion that the eruption
did not come entirely without warn

Only one-third of the city has been

a Curious Mausoleum.

A monument to pig was erected
wears ago in the Hotel de Vile at Lune-
burg, in Hanover, Prussia, by the in
habitants of that town. The strange
memorial was in the form Of mausO-
leum. and contained large glass case
in which was hermetically inclosed a
fine ham cut from the animal whose
memory was to be handed down to
posterity. Above was handsome slab
of black marble, on which engraved in
letters O. ,old, was an inscription in
Latin which may be thus translated:
.Passers-by contemplate here the NOR
tai rems ps of the pig which acquired
for itsell limperishable glory by the dis
coyery of the salt spring of Luneburg."

MAKES HIS OWN LUCK.
The Farmer Is Not at All Dependent
on Chance.

ou NhauCe.
As general proposition we do not
believe that luck has much to do with
a mans success in life. Occasionally
We find one who out of some careless,
Indifferent investment reaps a large re-
ward. Even such is not always a lucky
man. because not infrequently his last
stage is worse than the first. Some
times the personality. the tact or what
not of a man brings to him success
where Others have failed. In business
and in the professions these may be
made to take the place of real ability,
and We call the possesSor of these quail
ities a lucky fellow. 1t is different on
the farm, where man is dependent,
not upon keeping in the good graces of
others, but upon himself. Nothing but
cold business will pass muster there.
AS the seasons come and go unless a
FARMER is up and doing almost to the
very minute he must soon step down
and out.
AS man sows so shall he reap Is
true Ia more senses than one. The
slightest careleSsLeSs or Indifference
manifest liz preparing a seed bed or
sowing any kind of crop cannot be
corrected later. If an individual In a
community raises his eighty and nine
ty-bushel crops his success is in no
way attributed to luck, even by his
bungling neighbors Good seed sown
on a well prepared seed bed is as sure
to produce profitable crop nine years
out of ten in this country as winter is
to follow autumn.
The same inexorable laws are at
work in the live stock end of agricul-
ture. Good animals are not reared by
chance. Unless improved blood is in
troduced into the herds and fiocks
from tine to time there is sure to be
reversion in the direction of the scrub
form. Meat made on a scrub is not
worth within 2 or cents per pound
Of that on a well-bred animal. and yet
the food to produce the pound may
have cost the same in each case. Those
who topped the market at the large
centers during the past season came
by their prices, not by accident. but be-
cause they had the goods. And so it
is true in every department of the
farm. The man who does his work
thoughtfully and in season will al
ways be literally rewarded. Iowa

OF course the number of bundles per
acre will depend on how heavy the
grain is; but on the bas OF 400 bun
dies per acre the cost per acre would
be: Pure Manila, $50 feet per pound,
1871 cents per acre; Manila, 600 feet
per pound, 20 cents per acre, Sisal
Standard, 500 feet per pound, 21.3
cents per acre.
Owing to it's superior quality many
consumers think the brand known as
Four Leaf Red Clover is the product OF
some Eastern manufacturer, whereas it
is made in Portland, Oregon, as can be
seen from the tag on each ball. From
Eastern farm journals it can be readily
seen that the large Eastern manufac-
turers are responsible for the high price
of fibre and maintaining the value OF
Sisal and Standard twine. They con-
troll the SIsal fibre situation in Yuca-
tan, where all the fibre for the world =
consumption is raised, and holding
the market up to price that prevents
the smaller mills from getting fibre at a
low enough price to compete with them.
If farmers will only remember that $50
feet Manila is the cheapest in the end
and use this quality of twine, they will
develop our trade with the Philippines,
which means an increase of population
on the Pacific coast and broadening the
market for farm products.

The Mccormick Company showed

refused to interfere. The Americans
secured 90 per cent OF the orders, and
