Average Stock Prices.

There was a time when the man
that received an average price for the
cattle, horse, or sheep he sent to mar
ket made money on it, but that time
is not now Then land was cheap,
labor was cheap, and grain was cheap.
Now all of these are high, and the
average price Of an animal does not
often equal the cost Of the labor and
feed that have gone into him. This
condition has grown upon us till we
find ourselves facing the necessity Of
working out of 1t by producing ami
mails that will sell for more than they
do at present or discovering some CON-
bination of feeds and care that will
lessen the cost of production. 1t Is
well to work along both lines.-Ex-

Pilgri ms to Mecc

Last year about 100000 pilgrims
went to Mecca, representing a Moslem
population of about 200, 900, 900 in Tur-
key, Arabia, Egypt, Soudan, Zanzl-
bar, Barbary states, South Africa, At
ghanistan, Persia, Baluchistan, India,
the East Indian and Philippine Islands,
China, and Russia in Asia. The gov
ernments Of Turkey and Egypt pay
toll (blackmaiD to the Bedouin tribes,
through whose territory the pilgrim
ages pass, but the system is not en-
tirely effective. Last year some 20
per cent Of the pilgrims were reported
ill-treated, wounded or killed, and it
is estimated that during the pilgrim
age season travellers to Mecca We're
robbed of more than 81, zoo DOC. Cara
vans of 1900 to 5000 camels are no
rare occurrence.

Silk Worm Culture in Ceylou.

From recent experiments conclusive
proof has been obtained that silk of
excellent quality can be raised in Cey-
lon, and samples Of cocoons raised at
~Peradeniya from European seed have
been classed by a European expert as
second only to the best Italian silk.
Hitherto all experiments have been
on a small scale, limited partly by the
comparative scarcity Of mulberry trees.
The time seems now to have arrived
when more extensive operations might
be undertaken with advantage, and IT
is proposed to create an experimental
silkworm-rearing establishment. A
scheme Is under consideration by the
Ceylon Board of Agriculture.

A New kipIing Story.

1t is nearly a year since any Ameri-
can magazine has been fortunate enough
to secu a story from Kipling; but the
August Century prints a tale, can
Habitation Enforced" which gives us
Kipling at his best. Someone, in com
pairing Kipling with the old, three vol
ume novelist, has said that he gives us
"the Liebig extract of those cattle low
ing on a thousand hills" so here,
where two Americans a nervously
broken millionaire and his wife, take
up an enfored habitation in an enchant-
ed corner of England, he contrives to
give a quintessence Of American and
British civilization-a commentary, in
brief, with vistas such as only a Kip
ling can open up. A delightful vein of
satire crops out wherever the British
way and the American way meet, a
vein which will charm readers ON both
sides the Atlantic. Most readers. too,
will find in this latest story of the
greatest of living English story writers
the spiritual touch which was so
strongly manifest in "They" seemingly
marking a new and higher phase of de-
velopment in man and writer.

Watering Trees.

Unless the owner Of trees under
stands some Of the more important
principles of growth, there is danger
that he will, when applying water, do
more harm than good. To apply wa
ter in small quantities through the
droughty season is to cause the roots
In the ground to turn toward the sur
face and grow In that direction. Then
when watering is discontinued for any
reason the roots dry out much more
quickly than If they had not been wa
tered at all. When water is applied
to trees it should be in sufficient
abundance to soak the ground to a
depth Of several feet. The roots will
then not turn up to get moisture. If
1t is necessary to apply but little wa
ter at a time 1t should not be put on
the surface Of the ground. Dig a hole
and put In a large piece Of drain pipe
so that the water being thrown into
this pipe or piece Of tile will soak
deep into the ground. In case of not
having a drain pipe or piece Of tile, a
hole can be made sufficiently deep to
act as a reservoir. Let the water soak
into the ground from this hole. The
idea is to get the water to the roots
from some other direction rather than
from the surface of the ground.
