Historic City of India.

Delhi is the most historic city in all
India. 1t may not be the Oldest, al
though 1t lays claim to respectable
middle aae, dating from 1000 b. G. At
that time the master Of Delhi called
himself emperor Of all the world, and
emperors, at least Of India, have ruled
there almost ever since. Old Delhi,
without the walls, is city Of pictur-
esque ruins; imperial Delhi, the mod.
ern city, was created by Shah Jehan, q
contemporary Of Queen Elizabeth.
From the date Of the first Moham-
medan incursion, A. d. 715, perpetual
warfare ragged round Delhi until at
length she yielded to the irresistible
power Of the Moguls. The city was
alternately Mohammedan and Hindoo
during a great many years and finally,
in 1903 was made British by General
Lake. Delhi has the finest and largest
mosque in India. 1t took 5000 men six
years to build 1t. The noble tomb OF
the Emperor Humayan marks the
change of creed which followed the
Moslem invasion, while the observa-
tory Of Jai Singh and the deserted hall
of the seventy columns recall the short
triumph of Brahmanism.

BLOWER OR CARRIER.
The Elevation of Silage by Wind II
Making Rapid Progress.

The Elevation of SilaEe by Wind IL
Making Rapid Progress.
The blower is fast taking the place
Of the ordinary chain carrier so far as
feed and silage cutters are concerned.
A great many farmers and dairymen
are of course little skeptical. and
they possibly have good reason for be-
ing SO, as a great many blower outfits
have In the past failed to do their work
satisfactorily. The elevation of silage
by wind is. practically speaking. In its
infancy, but it has made rapid prog
ress within the last few years. The
failure of some blower outfits to do
their work has not in all cases been
the fault Of the outfit. but the lack Of
sufficient power and in many cases the
use of ordinary judgment In their oper-
alton.
There is no denying the fact that a
blower outfit when working satisfacto-
rily is much better in every way than
an ordinary chain carrier. These out
fits OF course require considerably
more power than an outfit with chain
carrier, and we would advise no one
to attempt to operate such an outfit
unless he has ample power. In elevat-
ing dry material the amount Of power
required is not greatly in excess of that
required for an outfit with chain car
rier In elevating green silage, to the
height Of the average silo, which varies
from thirty to forty feet, the excess
power required will run from SO to Is
per cent.
Another feature with reference to the
elevation Of silage by wind is the fact
that the more perpendicular the pipe
can be set the less liability there Is OF
clogging. Where the pipe is set at a
low angle particles Of the silase will
drop to the low side Of the pipe, and
the wind will pass over 1t until finally
sufficient silage has accumulated ell
tirely to clog the pipe Where the lat
ter is set at q steep angle or entirely
perpendicular the wind pressure Is al
ways directly underneath the silage,
and 1t has no chance to clog.-Cor. Ru-

The World Has Moved and Taken
the Hen Along With 1t.
A few years ago we used to think
beam in the top of the barn was good
enough for the hens. Never thought Of
watering them. They could pick up
living around the barn floor. But we
were surprised enough in those days If
we found ~ egg. Ten chances to one
it was cracked open from 'stem to
gudgeon" by the frost If We did hap
pen to find one Now we know this
was simply the worst way imaginable
to treat the hens. The world has
moved and taken the hen along with 1t.
Profit In Eggs All Winter.
From present indications there will
be profit in eggs all winter. 1t stands
us in hand to save all the young pullets
out of last springs hatch and push
them ahead as fast as possible. 1t is
the pullet that lays during the cold
weather that pays best. The beef trust
has done one thing not down on the
programme. 1t has given the farmer
very much better prices for his eggs
than for several years past. No argu-
ment here for the trust, but big one
for the old farm hen. Sell off all the
roosters except what you intend to
winter now. 1t is a waste Of food ma
terial to keep u lot Of roosters just for
the sake of hearing them crow. The
pullets need the room they occupy.
In the Way of Diet.
The question is sometimes asked
whether or not oyster shells are essen
tial to the production of eggs. Any
body who has watched his hens very
much knows how almost wild they are
to get to the bag of shells, especially If
they have been deprived Of them for
time. The hen knows about as we'll as
any of US what she needs in the way
Of diet.
Is milk any better for her than wa
ter? Eggs are largely albumen. Milk
contains albumen; water does not. Put
the two together for yourself.
Nest Box and Mites.
No nest box ever patented could woe
from the biddies more eggs than an
old soap box. They seem to feel as
much at home there as anywhere.

CHAPTER ".

THE MEETING AT THE FORGE.
1T was characteristic Of Frances
Gordon that. no matter how great
the stress of social or other du-
ties. her mind never lost room
for such favorite schemes as were clos
est to her heart.
1t was by reason Of this characters.
tic that, while her busy father was
deep in the mysteries and intricacies of
the Moscow conference, the subtleties
of which increased as the time for sep
aration and departure drew nearer,
Frances bethought her Of a fitting op-
portunity to make good promise she
had made to Vladimir Paulpof, the
blacksmith.
During a conversation held several
weeks before Vladimir had expressed
desire to study certain books which
were apparently beyond his reach.
Frances promised to obtain the books,
and she did so. These made quite a re-
spectacle package, and drosky was
called to convey her to the railway sta
tiOA.
1t was nothing new for Frances to
travel alone as far as from Moscow to
Perm, but on this occasion her father,
with some sort Of premonition, begged
her to send the books by messenger.
"Oh, no." she said in her quiet man.
ner of insistence. 1--WE are about to re-
turn to the east, and l shall not see
poor Vladimir for long time"
"IIang Vladimir exclaimed Gordon
as he saw his self willed young lady
step into the drOsky.
Having alighted at Perm, she hired
another drosky to take her and the
precious books to the forge.
The driver was huge, surly indi-
vidual, whose face was covered with
thick mass Of beard and whose voice,
when speaking to one not established
as his superior, was heavy and inso-
lent.
Responding to the call Of Frances, he
swung his heavy drosky in toward the
door Of her hotel. A police inspector
stood near, and the driver saluted In
humility.
II hate women" he said to himself.
"They pay nothing and have things
happen to them. I shall get into trou-
BILE before lose her."
Frances stepped toward the vehicle,
and the drivers mouth opened.
"Such womanr' muttered the dros-
Ky driver. "She must be English or an
American. If she was q Russian, she
would be princess"
Frances had had ample experience
with his class In all parts of Russia.
She calmly stepped into the drosky and
handed him silver coin.

FERTILIZER FOR LETTUCE.

Manure Unuecessary In Growing
Vigorous, Quick Maturing Lettuce.
In intensive agriculture there is Of
ten a tendency to waste plant food. A
waste of stable manure in forcing let
tuce seems to be proved by tests re-
Gently made at the Geneva (N. ~ ag-
ricultural station.
In the field culture tests except In q
very few instances no direct injury was
caused by supplying extra plant food.
There was merely loss of profit from
failure to obtain sufficient crop In
crease to pay for the additional quanu-
ty of fertilizer. In lettuce growing un-
der glass, however, especially on sanoy
ioam soils, the use Of more than an inch
and a half or two inches of manure on
the soil was not only wasteful or man.
ure. but lowered the yield Of lettuce.
The manuer nevertheless is essential
TO the production of vigorous, quick
maturing lettuce. Chemical fertilizers
cannot replace 1t even though used In
abundance.
The use Of commercial fertilizers
without manure resulted In decided
increase In yield over crops on un-
treated soil, but In every trial they
proved inadequate for bringing a crop
to maturity in sufficiently short time TO
be profitable. THE best crops were
grown where the soil was fertilized
with stable manure"
The use of per cent OF manure Win
the fertilizers always resulted III very
great increase in yield. With this
small amount Of manure dried plooo
gave better results as a source OF nitro
gen than either nitrate of soda or sui
phate of ammonia.
Where lar"e amounts Of manure were
Incorporated in the soil for forcing iet-
tuce the yield was increased by COM
nactinC the soil. This shows that un-
favorable effects which follow excess
I've applications Of manure may De
caused in part ut least by thereby loos-
euing the soil so much as to put 1t In
an unfayorable mechanical condition
for the lettuce plant.
The clay loan used in these expert
ments has always proved superior to
llght sandy loan for forcing lettuce.
Amounting Grain For Stock Feed.
There has been good deal said IN
the agricultural papers recently about
the advantages Of sprouting grain 1or

by the process. AS the only addition
to the grain is water. where the alleged
