PROSPERITY OF EGYPT

Rapid Advance of the Last Few
Years a Matter of Won
der.

CAIRO, Jan. 20-Thc prosperity of
things Of the century. This prosperity
has not been due solely to the extern
sion of the railways and the increase
of business on the canal-it has been
pronounced along all lines except In the
business of cattle growing, where the
recent plague has caused a deprecia-
ton In values. and the ravages to cot
ton caused by the boil worm" in Up
per Egypt. But except In these minor
details even Sir Vincent Corbett, finan-
cial adviser 10 the Egyptian Govern
ment, says that the rapid advance in
the prosperity of Egypt which charac-
terlzed 1903 and 1904 has 70 all outward
appearances, at least. been maintained.
Modern Change Progresses.
II is just thirty years ago in the Khe

unhappy Ismall Sadyk Pasha, nick
named The Mufcttish." then Egyptian
Minister of Finance signed the con-
tract by which the Viceroy's shares
passed into the possession of Great
Britain, From that transformation the
whole modern change In Egypt has
been gradually and consistently
evolved. II led TO the bcInbardment OF
Alexandra. the stricken" field of Om-
durham, the dramatic crisis of Fashoda,
and 0nally the poetic denouement OF
the Lansdowne-C Canton convention OF
last year.
Scarcity Of Labor.
IT his annual note on the budget Sir
Vincent Corbett even goes on TO show
how the prosperity OF Egypt has
caused a scarcity in all labor. skilled
and unSkilled. He says: IL learn from
the irrigation authorities that the cost
Of construction of earthworks has risen
within the last three years by at least
GO per cent"
This boom in all things Egyptian has
recently been so pronounced that Sir

does the simple art of plowing. The
contestants had In mind making q
straight furrow Of even depth and
width. turning 1t squarely over so as
TO cover all stubble and weeds. Each
one took pains to start in squarely and
evenly and to drive straight out at
the ends so as not to leave the least
curve. There was no time to dream

was doing. All the plowman's skill

general, greatly modified because OF
building operations or necessary grad
ing. The soil with which one has to
deal, therefore, is seldom a normal soil
Of the locality. In general, it is a
portion of the surface soil mixed with
more or less Of the subsoil which has
come from excavation, in making the
foundations of a house.
The ideal soil for grasses best suit.
ed for lawn making is one which is
moderately moist and contains a con-
siderable percentage of clay-a soil
which Is somewhat retentive of mois-
ture, but never becomes excessively
wet, and is inclined to be heavy and
compact rather than light, loose. and
sandy. A strong clay loan or a sandy
loan, underlaid by clay subsoil, is
undoubtedly the nearest approach to
an ideal soil for lawn; it, therefore,
should be the aim in establishing a
lawn to approach as near as Is possible
to one or the other OF these types Of
soil. In many localities it will, how
ever. be very difficult to produce by
any artificial means at ones command
a soil which will approach in texture
either Of the types recommended. Our
efforts, nevertheless, should be direct
ed to attaining as closely as possible
these ideals.
Preparations for the Lawn.
Since the lawn is intended to be
a permanent feature of the decoration
Of a place, its endurance or span of
life Is Of utmost Importance. In gen
eral, grass seeds are small and the
surface seed bed for the reception OF
these seeds need not be more than l
inch in depth; but since the grasses,
as they become established, send out
long. lateral feeding roots, 1t is nee
essary that the area containing the
available food for these plants should
be amplifed. This object can only be
attained by deep cultivation and
thorough preparation Of at least 8 to
10 inches Of the surface soil. The soil
to this depth should be made rich and
should be put into an ideal condition
for the development OF plant roots.
The mechanical operations of pre-
pairing the soil can be carried on by
the use Of the modern plow II the
area is large enough, or by spading
IL the area IL small. The seed bed
should be thoroughly and frequently
stirred. so as to grind the soil par
ticles together as much as possible
for the purpose Of reducing them to
q uniformly fine condition and to lib
crate plant food. Cultivation shoull
also have for its object the destruction
Of weeds which may interfere with the
establishment Of the lawn or which
may be detrimental to 1t after 1t Is
once established. After the soil has
been thoroughly plowed or spaded it
should be carefully fined by narrowing
or raking. after which 1t should be
thoroughly eompacted BY the use Of

ways, and they will be better farmers
and better citizens for having entered
the plowing contest.
To many Of the onlookers the con-
test was Q revelation. Farmers and
farmers sons, who have plowed for
days and months, never before saw
such plowing, and many went home de-
termined to plow As they saw it done.
It has been decided to make this =

The greensward II the canvas upon
which all architectural and landscape
effects are produced. A lawn may
vary In extent from . few square feet
at the side steps leading to the brown
stone front Of the city dwelling to the
broad acres Of extensive parks. It
matters little whether the extent Of .
lawn be great or small, its inherent
qualities are the same. and its intrin-
sic worth is determined by its charac-
ter and the manner in which It II
kept. Green grass is not only Of great
economic value. but 1t II also Of great
aesthetic value. The herbage Of the

with 300 to 500 pounds Of q high-grade
fertilizer upon each acre. The fertil.
izer may contain per cent nitrogen,
6 to per cent phosphoric acid, and
about per cent potash.
After the lawn has been established
and it has gone into winter quarters"
it is well to give the young grass q
mulch of well-decOmposed stable man
ure, which shall not be heavy enough
to disfigure or mar the lawn, but
should be SO fine and we'll decomposed
that it will be carried beneath the
surface of the grass by the rains and
SHOWS of the winter, leaving very lit
tie rough or unsightly matter to be
raked off in the spring. II this is not
desirable, after the greensward has
passed through the first winter 1t
should be treated to a top-dressing Of
fine-ground bone at the rate Of 1000
pounds to the acre.

not an excessive amount of moisture.
Upon soils Of lighter character in
this region, in localities where preci-
pitation is greater, such grasses as red
top. Rhode Island bent grass, creeping
bent grass, and white clover are moro
to be relied upon for lawn making
than blue grass. Redtop, Rhode ls-
land bent grass, and creeping bent
grass all have the same ability to
make a compact and deep sward. as
in the case of blue grass. In fact,
under certain conditions redtop and
the bent grasses are able to make q

the light soils found In the States

D. c.. white clover forms an important
feature in lawn mixtures.
In general. because Of the varied
conditions Of shade and moisture ex.
isting upon a lawn as the result OF
trees. shrubs. and architectural OBJ
jects. mixtures are more desirable
than pure grasses. The different de-
grees Of shade and moisture maintain
ed in the soil which result from the

ings afford a variety Of conditions un-

Mysteries OF the Ages.

During that wonderful and mysteri'
GUS period. popularly spoken Of as
before the ice age," In other terms,
the pre-glacial period. nature expressed
herself with lavish abandon OF
which we can form but faint idea.
The primeval rivers were mighty tor,
rents, instruments Of stupendous meta,
mOrphic energy. In their work OF
erosion and dissolving, vast quantities
Of gold were freed from combining en-
bedment and deposited along their
channels. Through untold ages, per-
haps, this work Of uncovering and
observation-disclosures prehistoric gold

until that particular formative cycle
was completed. Then the earth passed
into the travail throes Of more ener-
getic formation, as expressed in vol
canic and glacial action. Fierce vol
canoes sent forth their molten streams,
filling up ravines and gorges, creating
new elevations and depressions, and
burying deep under layers Of volcanic
debris. the old river beds, the evicted
waters of which laboriously wrought
out new channels for themselves. Fol-
lowing this storm time came q season
Of comparative quiet in which the
newly located streams were permit
ted to take up again with diminished
force the old work of tearing down.
dissolving and dropping the freed gold
along their channels. In some in
stances old beds were crossed and
broken into by the new streams and
additional deposits mingled with their
uncovered treasures. At last came the
long winter Of glacial action. from
which the earth emerged transformed.
with little OF the primeval surface left
save the giant redwood forest region.
Such. briefly summarized. Is the geo
logic record, as read by modern SCI
entists, OF the changes that immedi.
ately preceded our own period. Pos

swayed in the Pacific Ocean winds for

ancestors-might have observed from
