CHAPTER XVI


On leaving Ian Tcheou, the railway
crosses a well-cultivated country. wat
cred by numerous streams, and hilly
enough to necessitate frequent curves.
There is a good deal of engineering
work; mostly bridges, viaducts on wooden
trestles of somewhat doubtful soliditv
and the traveller is not particularly com
Portable when he finds them bending nm
der the weight of the train. 1t is true
we are in the Celestial Empire. and n
few thousand victims of a railway ac-
cident is hardly anything among a popu-
lation of four hundred millions.
Besides" said Pan Chao, "the Son
OF Heaven never travels by railway"
AT O'Clock in the evening we are at
hing-Tcheou, after skirting for some
time the capricious meanderings of the
Great wall Of this immense artificial
frontier between Mongolia and China
there remain only the blocks of granite

base, its terrace of bricks with the nara

/ van started or did not, whether 1t was
attached to our train or left behind, what
could it matter to him? Nevertheless,
he and Changer seemed to be much put
about regarding it, although they tried
to hide their anxiety, while the Mongols'
talking together in low tone, gave the
governor anything but friendly glanees.
Meanwhile, the governor had Just
heard of the attack on the train, and OF
the part that our hero had taken in de-
| Tense of the treasure, with what cour-
age he had fought, and how he had de-
livered the country from the terrible Hi
Tsang. And then in laudatory terms,
which Pan Chao translated to us, he
thanked Faruskiar, complimented him,
and gave him to understand that the Son
of Heaven would reward him for his SER
vices.
The manager of the Grand Transasi-
attic listened with that tranquil air that
distinguished him. not without impa-
thence, as / could clearly see. Perhaps
he felt himself superior to praises as
well as recompenses, no matter from how
great height they might come. In that
l recognized all the MongOl pride.
1t is ten minutes to 10 when we return
to the station, absolutely tired out; for
the walk has been a rough one, and al
most suffocating, for the heat is very
great
My first care is to look after the van
with the millions. 1t is there, as usual,
behind the train, under the Chinese
guard
The message expected by the gov
ernor has arrived-the order to forward
on the van to Pekin, where the treasure
is to be handed over to the finance min
lister.
Where is Faruskiar? l do not see
him. Has he given us the slip? No.
There he is on one of the platforms,
and the Mongols are back in the car.
Ephrinell has been off to do round
of calls-with his samples, no doubt
and Mrs. Ephrinell has also been out on
business, for a deal in hair, probably.
Here they come, and, without seeming
to notice each other, they take their
Seats
The other passengers are only Celes-
tials. Some are going to Pekin; some
have taken their tickets for intermediate
stations like Si-Ngan, Ho-Nan, Lou
Ngan, Tai-YOuan. There are a hundred
passengers in the train. All my numbers
are on board. There is not one missing.
Thirteen, always thirteen!

Eggs By the Million.

The western part of Virginia has
been known for years as a great sec
ton for raising poultry. and the in
dustry is increasing at a rapid rate.
The shipment Of Thanksgiving turkeys
and chickens for all seasons brings in
a considerable revenue. In Rocking
ham county last year, 10000 crates
were shipped to market, a total Of TO-
100000 eggs sold from one county in
a single year. This does not include
many thousands consumed on the
farms where they were laid. The low
est price of the year was IA to 10 cents
a dozen, and in December 80 cents was
paid. The average for the last year
was % cents The profit from eggs
alone to Rockingham county farmers
was nearly 100000.

For the sake OF supplying definite
and absolutely reliable information in
regard to every square mile Of land
in the 8,822,988 which compose the
area Of the United States Of America,
Uncle Sam, through the Bureau OF
Soils Of the Department of Agricul-
ture, win spend eighteen years and
at least $6,OOO,OOO. When the work
Of the Bureau Of soils has been com
pleted, 1t will be possible for a man
intending to purchase farm to write
to the Department Of Agriculture, and
secure from that department a detail
ed map Of the section In which his
Farm is located. together with a de
scrlption of the section. Then by look
ing up his intended purchase on the
map and consulting the descriptive
booklet, he can determine to a nicely
its value. The map will show by diff
erent colors the nature of the soil,
while the descriptive booklet will tell
its value which has been determined
by examination Of the soil, study of the
railroad facilities, and the examina-
ton Of the markets and other qualify
ing conditions. The soil maps and
booklets will enable many farmers,
who have been only partially success,
full, to learn wherein they have failed
by trying to raise crops unadapted TO
the nature of their lands, and will in
struct them as To what crops are bes,
suited to their farms. 1t will instruct
them also as to the best methods Of
cultivating soils Of different kinds.
While the examination Of soils has
been carried on for perhaps a hundred
years by laboratory methods, the pres
ent investigation is along entirely diff
ferent and far more practicable lines
The soils division was established as
separate bureau Of the Department
Of Agriculture on July 1, 1901, and
since that time its force has been In
creased more than twelvefold. Up to
December 81, 1904, the bureau has
mapped 1855 square miles, In small
patches scattered over the whole Unit.

eighteen years more will be required

There are several plans for making
2 tank IN which to dip sheep, and if
one has a flock Of considerable size It
is wise to obtain some Of the plans
that are offered BY manufacturers. If,
however, the flock is not large, a home-
made AFFAIR is easily built and at com
paratiyely small cost. A tank Of this
kind Is made as follows: A convenient
size is ten feet long, four feet wide
and two and one-half feet deep. It
should be made so that the tank con-
tanning the dip is reached by a slat-
ted walkway leading down to it, and
another Slated walk leading up to the
landing from which they go down, into
the tank.
There should be suficient Of the dip
mixture placed in the tank to cover
the back Of the animal, which should
be immersed for about one minute,
then allowed to come up on the land
