The. death of Linden Tree, the Ara
bian stallion presented to General
Grant in 1878 by the sultan of Turkey,
has brought out Il number of stories
about Arabian horses and the length
Of their pedigrees. One is to the effect
that Linden Trees pedigree was on
record for "only 800 years, but his an
cestry extended back to Solomon's
time" All of which is rot. Neither
Linden Tree nor any other stallion has
a recorded pedigree 800 years old, and
as to Solomon's era it is quite possible
that many eastern horses trace to that
time, but the fact and the generations
that intervene are not matters of rec
ord, but mere tradition. The thor
oughbred has the oldest recorded pedl-
gree, about 200 years, and he came
from the horse of the desert and sur
passes his remote ancestors in speed,
endurance. size and probably every
thing save disposition. Arabian pedi-
gree stories, like most other Arabian
horse yarns. are myths.-Nationai

The best jacks in Europe are the
Potion, from the south of France, says
John ]. Jellicorse in Practical Farmer.
They are used by the French govern
ment to breed artillery mules from
Percheron mares. They are round
bodied, with short legs; not tall. There
are two reasons why these have never
been imported to the United States.
One is the price, which is $1,000 and
up at home. The second is their long
hair, which would be unpopular here
and which makes them somewhat deli
cate Their mules are also apt to have
long hair when young under the belly.
The Andalusian is a better shaped
jack than the Catalonian, but is gen.
orally gray. The few white jacks i'm
ported must have been of this stock
anyhow, they are generally good mule
breeders. The Italian jacks are small
er, and many are shipped to India by
the British government, where small
mules are needed.

THE SUGAR BEET.
Useful Items of Experience From the
Michigan Station.

Useful Items of Experience From the
Michigan Station.
Considering the extra work involved
in the narrowing of the space between
rows of sugar beets, together with the
inconvenience and even impossibility
of cultivating with large farm horses
in narrow rows, it seems as yet wise,
to the Michigan station. to continue
with the rows twenty-One inches apar
at least.
Figures from recent tests show de-
cidedly in favor of increasing the nj
trogen content of the sugar beet fer
tilizers. Not only is the yield of beets
greater, but the percentage of sugar
is higher where an excessive amount
of nitrate of soda is applied. The
marked difference in yield of sugar
from the home mixed fertilizer over
the commercial fertilizer suggests the
possibility of nitrate nitrogen being su-
perior to the form of nitrogen found
in the commercial fertilizer.
A fair comparison of nitrate of soda
and sulphate ammonia as a source OF
nitrogen for sugar beets, being the
average result from five different ex-
periments conducted for three years in
succession, shows a yield OF over IL
per cent more sugar from the nitrate
than from the ammonia and presents
conclusive evidence of the superiority
of the former.
A general conclusion in some soil
tests with fertilizers is that stable ma
nure increases the tonnage. but does
not increase the total number of
pounds of sugar in q similar proper
ton.

telling the driver to return even faster
than he came out started toward the
city, six miles distant.
From Tacubaya to Chapultepec the
highway is particularly desolate, and
at night it is shrouded in impenetrable
gloom. Formerly the locality was a
favorite resort for bandits, and until
recently the night tramcars Were es-
corted by mounted soldiery. Even now
they go in pairs and trios for the sake
of additional safety. Now occurrences
when travellers along that thorough
fare are molested are very rare indeed
but such incidents do happen once or
twice in the course of q, year.
Midway between the village and the
castle Pendleton heard sharp COM

December nights, even in and pear
the City of Mexico, are chilly if not
cold, and the fur lined coat that Pen
dleton wore was by no means a bur
den. AS he approached the summer
house he drew the collar around his

that he was the sole occupant, he
lighted cigar and stood with his back
against a section of the framework
while he awaited the absent party to

The Fluctuations Of Trade.

An interesting study in the fiuctua-
hons I'm foreign trade and commerce Is
furnished by the record OF the year
1902. which shows a marked change
IN the share which the various ports
have had In the distribution of the ex-
ports of the United States.
The gulf ports show a falling of OF
about IS per cent in expectations as
compared with last year and the At
lantic coast ports a decline of about
10 per cent. while the lake and north
ern border ports show n gain of 3 per
cent. the Pacific coast ports a gain of
10 per cent and the Mexican border
ports an increase of % per cent.
These marked contrasts, In which the
ports tributary'to the Atlantic show a
reduction and those on the Pacific or
fronting upon contiguous territory
show an increase. are In keeping with
the general trend OF the years COM
merce, In which exports to Europe
show a marked decline and those to
Asia and TO the contiguous territory at
the north and south a marked growth.
Exports to Europe especially were af-
fected by the crop failure of 1901.
since breadstuffs and provisions form
the large proportion of the sales of the
United States to that part of the
world, while our exports to Asia, Mex
leo and Canada were less affected by
crop failures. since manufactures form
the bulk OF our sales to those parts of
the world; hence the decrease in ship
ments through gulf and Atlantic ports
and the increa se In those through Pa
citic ports and those fronting upon
contiguous territory.
While the foregoing figures, which
are furnished by the treasury bureau
of statistics. include only eleven
months of the year, they are presum-
ably fair index of the full years op-
erations at the various great doorways
through which the exports of the coun-
try are distributed.

Indian Art and Industry.

| Lord Curzon, the viceroy of India,
has been making an earnest appeal in
behalf of Indian art and industry. He
| lamented the fact that a study of In
dian arts, industries and manufactures
showed a progressive deterioration.
ANY effort to stem the tide of mod
ern commercialism and utiltarianism
would of course be futile. In India,
he said. they were witnessing only one
aspect of u process which is going on
throughout the world that long ago ex-
tinguished the old manual Industries
of England and is rapidly extinguish-
ing those of China and Japan. Moth
ing can stop it.
The power loom will drive out the
hand loom, and the factory will get the
better of the workshop just as surely
as the steam car is supersedng the
horsed carriage and the hand pulled
punkah is being replaced by the cleo
trio fan. Indian art, he continued,
Souit oiiiS Houflsu OT De revived Dy the
determination of the Indian chiefs and
aristocracy to patroniZe it. So long as
they prefer to fill their palaces with
flaming Brussels carpets, Tottenham
Court Road furniture, cheap Italian
mosaics, French oleographs, Austrian
lusters, German tissues and cheap bro
cades the prospect would be discour-
aging.
Unquestionably the widespread dis
tress that SO frequently prevails in In
dia is in large measure due to the
failure to keep pace with the rest Of
the world in the fine arts and industry,
and if Lord Curzon shall be able to
stimulate these he will be, doing an
inestimably valuable work for the vast
country over which he has been chosen
to preside. The chief trouble seems to
be the inactivity and carelessness of
the native princes and petty provincial
rulers, who are seemingly unmoved
by the deplorable conditions Of the
great mass Of the Indian people.
