WITH BOWED HEAD HE PLACES
WREATH ON THE GEN.
ERALS BIER.

New York, May 21.-When % years
ago General U. S. Grant in his tour
of the world was the guest of the EN-.
peror of Japan, one of the officers as.
signed to attend him was a young col.
onel who today, as General KurOlli of
world renown, visited Riverside Drive
and there with impressive oriental
ceremony placed laurel wreath upon
the Americans tomb
TO Colonel Kuroki Sundays pilgrim
age to Grants tomb was the chief
event Of his stay in New York and n
part of his program which he had re-
peatedly said must be carried out, no
matter what feature was sacrificed
Accompanied by General and Mrs. +.
d. Grant, u. S. A.. General Kurokis
party proceeded in automobiles to the
tomb late this afternoon. Reaching the
vicinity, General KuroH was the first
to alight In his hand ne carried the
wreath.
AS the party entered the tomb all
removed their hats, and General
kurod advanced toward the sarcoph.
agus. When about Is feet away he
bowed and then as he proceeded step
by step he continued to bow low. When
he reached the bier he stopped and an
aide, descending the several stems.
placed the wreath in position. For
several minutes the party stood in
silence and then retracing their steps
entered the automobiles and were
driven back to the Hotel Astor.

In the Occur d'Alenes.

More than one hundred and forty
eight million dollars in mineral wealth
has been taken from the Occur
d'Alenes since the district was first
opened as a mining center in 1884,
This vast sum represents the total out
put of lead silver, copper, zinc, anti
mony and gold, and the figures are
compiled from government reports and
other reliable sources.
Work has been resumed on the Mel
lie group near Osborn. The mine
shipped about $4,000 worth of ore pri-
or to 1898.
The shaft on the Alice mine near
Mullan was deepened SO feet during
the month of April, giving it total
depth Of ECO feet
The drift on the lead of the Idaho &

and will be continued for 600 feet to
get under the big surface showing.
The Vienna & International mine
on Placer creek will begin shipments
within 60 days, the machinery neces-
sary to handling the ore having finally
arrived.
The ore in the Lucky Friday ledge,
recently cut at a depth of $50 feet,
is proving richer in silver than any
ore ever found in the Occur dAlene
district The tunnel was in G24 feet
when the ledge was cut, and gives
about 400 feet of backs.

Facts About the South,

Did 1t ever occur to you that all the
gold mined in the world in 1906 was
only a little more than half enough to
pay for last years crop of cotton
raised in the southern states-and
that this value was only one-third OF
theF south's total agricultural product?
Throughout the south, from Virginia
to Texas, is now heard the song of the
optimist. The pessimist has been
swept away by the great wave of pros
perity. 1t has aptly been said that
throughout the south is heard "the
music Of progress, the whirr of the
spindle, the buzz of the saw, the roar
of the furnace and the throb of the
locomotive"
This advance can be better grasped
by the simple statement that during
1906 the wealth of the south increased
by $7,300,000 for every day of the
year. Sundays included, or a total OF
$4,000, 000, 600. The actual increase in
assessed value was 81, 076, ats, 7SS, and
this was on the average 40 per cent
of the true value. The amazing mag
nitude of this gain of $1,000, 900 a day
is ~strikingly shown by a comparison
with the rate Of growth in Great Brit
ain, where, according to the London
Express, in b%emoaning the inability
of that country to keep pace with the
United States, the increase in wealth
is stated to be 100000 a week. IN
other words, the gain in the south
every day is greater than the present
gain in Great Britain every week.
The value of the south's farm prod
ucts last year was 2 1000, 000, 900
against $2,212, 000, 900 for the United
States in 1880; and, Of course, of that
total of 81, 200, 200, 900, $500, 900, 900 was
in the south. In other words, the value
of the south's farm products last year
was $500, 900, 900 more than the total
for all the country outside of the
south. 1t may be accepted as beyond
question that in this section is to
center the greatest industrial activ-
tiles ever seen in this or any other
country. This means a great increase
In wealth, a great expansion in the
consuming power Of the. south. The
night is passed. The day of %boundless
prosperity has dawned.

FARMING IN
THE SOUTH
LATE CULTIVATION OF CROPS.
Best Prospects Are Sometimes Ruined
by Late Flowing.

Late cultivation of cotton and corn
Is only advisable when the work has
been kept up without lapse. l have
seen some of the best prospects ruined
by being plowed too late in the sea-
son when the weather was hot and
dry and the soil had been allowed
to remain untitled for a considerable
length of time. At this season of the
year it is essential that all crops
should be well worked and upon in
tense cultivation hinges the success
Of the farmer of today.
l am an advocate of late cultivation
provided the work is kept up inces-
sanity until it is all done. BY this
method the yield of the crop can be
greatly enlarged and it will be doubly
profitable for the farmer to take up
the work. However it must be remem-
bered that it is we'll to do it In sea-
SOL The farmer who neglects a field
for a few days thinking that it will
be all right to go in a little later
makes a serious mistake. 1t will Of
ten cost him the profit of his entire
crop.
1t takes a lot of Judgment to get
around the ups-and-downs of the
weather experienced nowadays. Late
seasons come when least expected and
changes that one should try to cir
cumvent az much as possible come at
times when everything seems smooth.
In this instance the average farmer
can judge his case with a fair degree
Of accuracy by taking into view the
work of his neighbors in this line. A
mistake made by a neighbor can be
made profitable as we'll as looking out
for his successful side. There are too
many farmers In the country nova
days standing aside and complaining
that the other fellow is lucky when
in reality 1t is nothing more or less
than profiting by experience. Other
peoples good fortunes and their i'll
fortunes can be used to advantage
only when applied from the practical
standpoint Of every day life.
In the case of late cultivation it
will, of course, be advisable to. avoid
it when possible in the case of root
crops like sweet potatoes, peanuts, or
anything that is likely to be cut off
with a plow.
In the case of corn and cotton the
great essential is to remember that
shallow cultivation is the great prin-
ciple and half IN inch is about as good
as an inch and certainly better than
two inches. These principles fol-
lowed, late cultivation can be made
highly successful.-J. c.. McAuliffe.

Wisdom from the Knowing Ones.

While lambs will fatten faster than
older sheep, it takes a careful, skillful
feeder who gives his best attention
and thought to what he is doing to
fatten sheep successfully.
The sheep is a good feeder, no other
animal feeds on so many kinds OF
heritage. There is scarcely a weed SO
SO coarse that sheep will not eat it,
besides biting off the tops of briers
and sprints.
The food of variety and requiring
it for the attainment of the best re.
suits, feeding sheep present a sudden
change to an unaccustomed feedstuff.
hence a combination of feeds is better
than a change.
There is no other domestic animal
which will thrive upon so great a
variety of food with gSeen and dry,
as the sheep. Almost evHrything which
which the land will produce can bS
utilized by them.

IN TEXAS,
What the Worries Greatest Authority
Says.

eA4aEa
DR.. D. w. Hunter. government en-
tomologist, and the most eminent au-
thority in the world on the boil weevil,
was in New Orleans a few days ago
on his way from Dallas, Texas, to
Washington, D. C. Before leaving he
gave out the following statement
about the tremendous increase OF the
weevil:
"The mild winter and the wet spring
have been exceptionally favorable to
the boil weevil, and they have in
creased amazingly. From my observa-
tons and from the observations of
my assistants / calculate that there
are thirty times more weevils at the
present time than there were at this
time last year.. Tfe propagation of
the weevil was ma erially assisted by
the great quantity of volunteer cot
ton in Texas this spring, the winter
being so mild that much cotton, even
as far as North Texas, was not killed.
The weevil nov extends from San An
tonic to the river in Louisiana, and
for a distance of seventy miles up into
the Indian Territory"
Under present conditions 1t Is now
out of the question to make an over
production of cotton this season. Work
the crops well, fertilize judiciously
and stand by the farmers prices in
selling and all will be we'll with O
and your family this round.
No doubt you are paying too much
for your fertilizer compounds this sea-
son and you will continue doing that
kind Of a back stunt until you get
your chemicals in large shipments
and do your own mixing at home. In
order to get your fertilizer materials
at rock bottom figures you should hand
In your orders at once to your bust
ness agent in order to have your
goods at hand On time for next crop
and at the very lowest fgures.-J. C.

July in the Stockyard.

Select brood sows from the early
litters and as soon as we"ned turn
them into a pasture by themselves,
feeding for growth and FRI ~ more
than flesh. In Naking a choice give
preference to the long-bodieI, heavy
boned, vigorous sows and be sure they
do not have less than twelve teats.
Keep the horses we'll groomed. Sore
shoulders and numerous diseases will
be avoided as we'll as improving the
appearance and comfort of the animal.
Rape and skim milk have been
found to be excellent food for growing
pigs, especially when supplemented
with wheat middlings or barley meal.
Mark the lambs at weaving time.
Some stamp them with their initials,
they never will lose. A good meth
cd is to punch the ear. Ear tabs an
swer a purpose, but they can be re-
moved.
Keep salt where the young cattle
can get 1t. 1t is as essential for grow
ing stock on pasture as 1t is for dairy
cows.
Turn the young steers on good pas
ture and when it becomes dry give
them a feed of corn fodder or grain
once a day. The heavier the steer
when taken off of pasture the more
profit there will be In feeding him for
market.
The calves should be turned into
a small pasture by themselves and
learn to eat the fresh June grass.
Plenty of skim milk and good grass
will make fat calves.
Every farmer should raise his own
horses. A good brood mare on a farm
will keep up the supply and not in
terfere greatly with the work that
would be required of her in case she
did not produce a colt each year. 1t
costs little, if any more, to raise a
colt than a steer up to two years of
age, at which time the colt can be
put to work that will carr his keep.
The only additional expense in case
of the colt over the steer is the service
fee of the horse. Raise animals of
large size, as they not only will make
good farm horses, but be more valu-
able in case you wish to dispose of
them.-Farmer's Voice.
