ty Mogul Emperor, Akbar the Wise,
but all is now decay and desolation.
In equal ruin lie the carved wonders
OF Jain priests and pious Brahmin,
with the inlaid marbles and arabes-
ques Of the Morgan emperors. Here
the only inhabitants are the NANCY
hyena and the fierce panther, and
perhaps some starving wretch, who
having exhausted the generosity Of
his caste fellows has crawled up from
the ruined town below to crouch in
some dark recess and to die-alone.
1t is but early March, but the heat is
intense; already the blazing sun Of
Indian summer beats down with a
force that is not soon forgotten, while
from the sun-beaten surface Of the
rock there seems to leap the fiery
breath Of 1000 years Of fierce sun
shin and hot winds. For down below
the flat-topped roofs of the ruined
houses simmer and tremble in a
haze Of heat. Away on all sides the
horizon stretches like a petrified sea
mile after mile of arid stony hills and
barren plains, across which smoking
pillars of hot air and dust whirl in
mad dance mocking the empty fields
and the withered trees; while the
whole landscape trembles in an intol-
cradle glare. Down in the narrow
stone-paved streets Of the town mis-
cradle wretches who have never known
the meaning of good meal, mutter
and stumble along in dimless misery.
The air here is like a furnace; the
minute shops, little dark stone re-
cesses hlackened with the smoke and
toll of centuries, are mostly deserted,
and if some poor wretch with the glaz-
ed eye of cholera, or the crouching
attitude and fetid breath to die, the
only interested spectators will be the
great, heavy-winged birds of prey,
vile objects, that with gorged clumsi-
ness circles and wheel in a sky that
is at once cloudless and colorless.

A dear old lady who had never left

We are now preparing to NOW down


We are now preparing to NOW down
a crop of about two tons Of pea, vine
to the acre on land that was aband-
oned three years back by an IMPROVE
dent renter that failed to get more
than five bushels Of corn or $50 lbs.
of seed cotton to the acre.
Deep ploughing, cow peas and from
$50 lbs. to 200 lbs. of acid phosphate
to acre on each crop is all the secret
there is in this.
This simple application Of little
common horse sense, good deal of
horse sweat in a corporation way,
with nature, has made this land that
was barren bloom again with profi-
table crops that average over thirty
bushels Of oats and from one to two
tons Of pea hay to the acre all in one
year. This land next year would grow
a good profitable crop Of corn without
any fertiliser, or with the applica-
tion of about $50 lbs. of acid phos-
phate we believe it easy to grow 1000
lbs. of seed cotton to the acre.
After a good crop of peas we dom It
need to add any more heterogeneous
manure. Ordinarily we have plenty
of this costly fertilizing ingredient
stored in the soil by the cow pea crop.

To the Press.

Owing to making a change in the
printing establishment that has been
setting up our Farmers Union Bureau
column Tor lis, our proofs have not
gone out to our papers in satisfac-
tory way recently But under our new
arrangements our column will go out
10 the press promptly on Tuesday
mornings, released to the press We'd
nesday, which we trust will be salts
factory to all parties.
whilst we are on this subject of
the press we take this opportunity to
thank all our papers that have been
publishing our Bureau column for us.
Our committee Of eight prominent
farmers, whose duty it is to look after
the good of our organization have
done wise thing in their efforts
to educate our farmers on the business
side of their farming through the es-
tablished press Of the country in pre-
ference to accepting any one Of sever
al selfish propositions made to the
Union to patronize only one paper
as an organ for the Union.
From the beginning it has been our
opinion that in order to protect the
interest Of our farming populationu
through an organized effort that was
not necessary to uproot, teardown, or
undermine any Of our necessary indus
tries or legitimate business or subsi-
disc any part Of the press of the coun-
try or split off any cohice pieces of
politics to aid us in upbuilding our
farming interest, which all sane peo-
pie, regardless Of their occupation,
will admit that the farming interest
is the basis Of the prosperity of our
whole country. ...
While the farmers movements is
educating the farmer in his business,
we note that the business fraternity is
also learning that his prosperity de-
pends upon the prosperity Of the far
mer, too.

Putting in Fall Oats.

Now is the time to begin to prepare
yourselves to battle against the cotton
bears that are sure to come after you
next fall.
Begin now to put in large crop of
winter oats. We never fail making a
good crop Of winter oats when we can
get them in the ground just right be-
fore the first Of November. :.
Plow the land deep, harrow smooth
and drill the seed in open burrows.
[ use a common cotton planter with
q fertilizer attachment and put in
from $50 lbs to 200 lbs Of 1914 acid
phosphate to the acre. It is a waste of
money to use small grain sown in the
fall.
We use shovel plow about six or
eight inches wide on the planter foot
to open the furrow and make the rows
just close enough to not allow any
loose dirt to roll back in the open
trench just planted. Be careful and
don't allow any dirt to fill in the open
trench, and run the rows nearly on'a
level but should empty out gradually
at each end.
Never on any occasion SOW seed oats
in the fall that has not been grown
from fall sowing at least three years;
at which this seed may be considered
as having the established habit Of win
ter growing.
. We would also give the preference
to seed already grown by the open
trench system over that seed grown
from broadcast sowing, though we
have no positive proof that the open
trench grown seed are the safest.
We caution all new beginners aboat
securing first-class pure clean seed.
Most any up-to-date farmer would
tell YOU that seed oats or wheat plant
ed with cheat, cookie or smutty stuff
would not only fill your lands with
these foul seeds, but they reduce the
Weld to an extent that would make it
profitable to pay five or more prices
for pure seed than to toxic foul seed at
no cost. "

Minnesota Man Lures Her to His

Duluth, May ga special to the
News-Tribune from Eveleth, Mimi,
says:
Goaded by jealousy, John Stewart, a
painter, shot and killed his wife after
Turing her into his room. Three shots
took effect, two in the right shoulder
and the fatal bullet entered the wo-
mans face and passed down through
the neck. The victim left her hus-
band three months ago.
"I'm glad I did it, said Stewart
when he was arrested beside his vic

evidence of his guilt is complete.
Stewart is in jail and will be ar
raigned before Judge Prince soon.
Stewart is thirtyive years old and
has lived in Eveleth for some years.

first entered the candy store on the

rang out in quick succession. The

VICTORIA FALLS.
Called sfthe Most Beautiful Gem OF
the Earth's Scenery.

Called sfthe Most Beautiful Gem Of
the Earth's Scenery"
The Uambezi river, carrying a huge
volume of water two miles in width, as
it reaches the western borders of Rho
desia precipitates itself into a cavern
GUS gorge and thus traverses the north
ern plains Of the country.
| This great drop in the river has pro-
duced '.the most beautiful gem Of the
earth's scenery" the Victoria falls. Al
most twice as broad as Niagara and
two and a half times as high, an i'm
mense mass of water rolls over its edge
to precipitate itself in magnificent
splendor 400 sheer feet into the narrow
canyon below.
Undeterred, the Rhodesian engineers,
without detracting from the natural
beauty of the surroundings, threw
across the canyon splendid $50 foot
cantaleyer bridge and thus opened the
way to Tanganyika, to Uganda, to
Cairo.
This bridge, the greatest railway en-
gineering triumph of Africa, deserves
more than passing notice. 1t consists
Of central span weighing approx
mately 1000 tons, 500 feet in length
and 80 feet wide. The steel work is of
rolled steel weighing 400 pounds to the
cubic foot The end posts of the bridge
are over 100 feet long. The pull on the
anchorage apparatus is about 400 tons.
Tha contract for the construction was
obtained by an English firm Of bridge
builders-the contract time fifty-fve
weeks. The work of erection was car
ried on from both banks, the material
being taken across the river by means
Of an aerial electric railway. The cleo
trical conveyor Of this cable way was
capable of dealing with a ten ton load
at lifting speed Of twenty feet per
minute and traversing speed Of 300
feet a minute.
An initial difficulty in the construc-
ton of the bridge was the securing
Of firm foundation, and owing to the
crumbling nature Of the bank much
greater quantity Of concrete was neces-
sary than estimated.
The construction was happily unat-
tended by accidents Of a serious nature,
though a few slight accidents to body
work and the replacing from England
Of one piece of steel work were record
ed. In spite of these delays the bridge
was linked up at a. m. on April /,
1905, or exactly forty eight hours ear
ller than had been estimated year be-
fore.-Lieutenant Colonel Sir Percy
