ROYAL FAMILIES NOT so OLD.
Mikado Dean of Them All So Far as
Ancestry Is Concerned.

Mikado Dean of Them All So Far as
Ancestry Is Concerned.
When it comes to "old families" the
Mikado Of Japan can fairly assert that
his family stands at the head of the
list, for his ancestors have been rulers
Of Japan for 1850 years, according to
a fairly well authenticated geneal-
ogy.
This would place the first ruler of
the family in the year 646 B. c., and
make him a contemporary Of Nebuch-
~adnezzar's father.
Extraordinary as this claim to an
cient lineage is, there seems to be no
valid reason for doubling 1t, and the
Mikado always begins his proclama-
tons with SEATED on our ancestral
throne from time immemorial."
The Gar is a mere mushroom CON-
pared with the Asiatic ruler as regards
family.
The best he can do in the way Of an.
cestry is to trace back to Michael Ro-
manoff, who became Car in 1913. only
a few years before the Pilgrim Fathers
landed on Plymouth Rock.
And the Gear can claim descent from
the Romanoffs only through a round
about way, as the male line of the

Farm Labor in Demand.

1t Is estimated that in seven States
out west $4,000 men will be needed
this summer to harvest the wheat
crop. Crops are increasing faster than
labor to secure them can be had, and
this, too, in the face of the fact that
nearly 100000 immigrants a year are
coming to America. Last year col
lege students were attracted to the
west by the offer Of $3.50 a day and
board and lodging, but 80 many fell
by the wayside in the hot sun that
scarcely enough remained to marry
all the daughters Of the rich farmers.
Harvesters a find employment from
May to nearly October, moving up
from Texas to Canada; wages are high
and there is plenty to eat. With a
foreign war now in progress and tho
regular demand for foodstuffs in the
countries in Europe which always buy
from Americans, on the increase, the
outlook for a great business in export
ing agricultural products is excellent.

Use the Harrow on Corn.

Many farmers read with surprise
the statement that a harrow can be
u across young corn without dam
age to the crop. Try it and see. 1t Is
better to use the ~iron-toothed harrow
with teeth slanting backward at an
angle of 40 degrees. 1t is remarkable
how much work a Intersection harrow
will do in a cornfield in one day dur
ing the early spring season. Harrow
corn just as it comes through the
ground. Harrow crosswise again with
In a week. In some cases 1t is neces-
sary to weight the harrow. A seventy
five or ninety-tooth harrow will cover
fifteen acres Of corn with a slow team
and twenty acres If the team Is a quick
stopper. If doubtful about the use Of
the harrow on your particular corn
crop, take 1t out and run 1t for twenty
five feet and test the work done by
pulling at every stalk passed over to
find whether or not the roots still hold.
Narrowing will lay the crop down for
n day or two, but 1t o Strengthens.
Narrowing kills weeds and destroys
young grass, let's the air into the
ground and Is the best possible method
Of ~cultivating young corn until the
crop reaches eight or ten inches In
height Use the harrow on corn.

Twenty Thousand White Ducks.i

The largest duck farm in the United
States is at Riverton. Va. There are
10000 white Pekin ducks in the place.
In the laying department 1900 mother
ducks are kept in 10 pens set apart for
them-150 to the pen. The Matching Is
done by incubators, which during the
Matching season bring forth 1000 duck
llngs each week. At the age Of -
weeks they are slaughtered for the
market. 1t requires a carload Of food
every week to feed the ducks

Medium-sized sheep usually have the
best and heaviest fieeces.
1t pays to have horses perform work
that are naturally good walkers.
One acre Of clover and one acre Of
corn are worth three acres of corn

A fast walk and prompt-telling road
gait are, to a great extent, matters Of
education.
Colts require plenty of exercise in
order to develop their lungs when they

Davis, Admiral J.. G. Walker chairman VIM. H. Burr.
In organizing the commission which is to have charge of the construc.
ton Of the isthmian canal the character of the selections made by President
Roosevelt justfes the hope that a high grade of ability will characterize the
management Of the great enterprise. Admiral Walker, the head Of the COM
mission, has had a long experience in dealing with a variety of naval and
engineering problems and as president If both the Nicaragua and the 18th,
mian canal commissions has become intimately familiar with the work now
In hand Major General George w. Davis, who will represent the army, as
Admiral Walker represents the navy, will bring to the administrative phase
OF the commissioners work the useful experience acquired as military gov.
ernor of the Philippines and Porto Rico. William Barclay Parsons is the
system. William H.. Burr professor Of civil engineering in Columbia Uni
Versty, Is an expert builder Of bridges, docks and other public works, as
well a a former member of the Isthmian Canal Commission. Since two of
the other members of the commission are also engineers 1t is safe to assume
that TIL canal enterprise will be dealt with is a practical engineering prob
EN-. The difficulties ito be overcom are not extraordinary or novel, but they
call for expert knowledge and hard work. Questions Of business methods
and finance and Of laborers will be involved. The object of the commission
should be not only to secure the construction of the canal according to the
best standards of modern mechanical science, but to observe wise economy
in administration. The Presidents appointees eem to be n the main men
who will keep these ends in view and take a proper professional pride in
achieving success.

LOU DILLON
Breaks the Worlds Rec
ord at Memphis With.
out a PaCemaker.
CROWD WAS SMALL

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. LOU Dill
lon trotted a mile over the Memphis
track today in 2:01, without a pace
maker in front, breaking the worlds
record, held jointly by herself and
Major Delmar.
The grand time made by G. X. @.
Billings great trotter was worthy of
considerable comment, but the fact
that it was made under the most un-
favorable of weather conditions and
that the pace furnished by the runner
was more of a hindrance than a help,
makes the mile one of the greatest in
the history of the light harness game.
The day itself left everything to be
desired. 1t was cloudy, windy and ex-
cessively cold for this time of the year.
At the time of the trial the ther-
mometer stood below As and there was
a stiff wind blowing up the back
stretch. The timers, the judges and
the handful of people who turned out
to see the mile, were bundled in over
coats and many Of the spectators
walked briskly up and down the track
in vain effort to keep warm.
Millard Sanders, her driver, worked
her briskly the reverse way of the
track and as he did on Tuesday when
she went in 2:01A said that he would
send her at the first score.
Lou Dillon gained headway rapidly
and passed the wire at smart clip.
Thirty or more watches clicked as she
shot down the home stretch and al
most every one recorded thirty sec
onds fiat as she sailed by the quarter
pole.
For the first half mile she went by
herself as the pacemaker was station
ed at the half mile post, where she
was to pick her up, but she was trot-
ting at her best, considering the
weather and she sailed around turn
and down to the half without apparent
effort, in spite Of the fact that she was
going into heavy wind.
The half was reached In 59A sec
onds.
The trOtting queen paid no attention
to the runner, but plugged along at the
same clip. huggtng the rail tightly and
going along smoothly and without a
ftraee Of a mistake 'ni.' '"
At the three quarters the watches
showed 1880 fat and the mare was still
going well, but she began to show
signs that she was short as she was
rounding into the home stretch. Here
however, she had the advantage OF
what wind there was and she strug.
gled on gamely to the wire under 9
brisk use OF the whip and finished out
the mile in the record time Of 2:0l
| fat.

negroes charged with assault with in-
tent to kill Clifford Boylan. was placed
on trial before Judge Harter Friday.
Prosecutor Day and Attorney George
II. Clark represented the state and
Attorneys Krichbaum and Piero ap-
peared for the defendant.
Alter the case had been stated sever
al witnesses were placed upon the
stand, but their testimony was Of lit
tie interest compared with that OF
Boylan himself, who appeared during
the afternoon. Boylan is thin and
pale and seemed to be still Ill from
the effects of the wounds. He stated
that his wounds were still suppurat-
ing and that it was necessary to have
them dressed twice day.
Boylan gave description of the
trouble and told of the assault made
by Adams and Wilson. Adams had
struck him with a stone and Wilson
used the gun. He went into the mat
ter at some length.
1t was on the DISCRIMINATION that
the defense outlined their plan. When
Attorney Krichbaum took charge OF
the witness he asked Boylan II he had
not come up certain streets to reach
the scene, and to this the witness had
but one reply, 81 don't remember.
Question after question was asked. and
the same reply was received.
