THE ANTIQUITY
OF AGRICULTURE.
Probably Originated in South
And East of EE-
rope.

The origin of agriculture" says
Prof Wiegend of the University of
Bonn, is lost in the mists of antiqui-
ty. We know that in neolithic times
in Europe eight kinds of cereals were
cultivated, besides flax. peas, peoples,
apples, pears, plums, etc. At the same
time, various animals were domesti-
Gated. Among these were horses, short
horned oxen, horned sheep, goats, two
bre, dS of pigs, dogs.
'ln all likelihood agriculture arose
in the south and east of Europe,and
spread gradually in the center, north
and west. A hunting population is
often very averse To even the slightest
amount OF work that agriculture re-
quires in a tropical country. The sam
holds good, as a rule, for pass oral
communities. In all cases a powerful
conspraint is necessary to force these
people into uncorgenial employment.
Fate is stronger than will, and al va
rious periods in different climes hun
tiers and herders have been forced TO
till the soil
The desert" Prof. Wigehend says
in another part of his paper, "notwith-
standing all difficulties of communi-
cation, offered more facilities than
the sea TO early man; il had, in fact,
three manifest advantages over the
Mediterranean: Cd The desert pone-
trates further into the interior of the
country. II is several times larger
than the Mediterranean, and can there
fore, tap more countries; it reaches 10
precisely those countries that the Med
itcranean does not touch. 90 The
desert does not oblige the pastor to
seriously modify his mode of life. In
in order 10 traverse the desert it is
necessary 20 arrange the journey III
stages; but these stages, once created,
The pastor can live in his own way.
60 A numerous troop can cross the
desert. They travel in caravans for
greater safety and defense against pos
sible attacks.
Such are the reasons which caus-
ed early man TO travel over the des-
ert before voyaging over and util2-
ing the sea-"

Bitten by a Spider.

Through blood poisoning caused by
a spider bite, John Washington of
Bosqueville, Tex, would have lost his
leg, which became a mass of running
sores, had he not been persuaded to
Try Bucklen's Arnica Salve. He writes
The first application relieved, and
four boxes healed all the sores" Heals

ripener and pasteVrizer will be in use.
The laboratory work is SO arranged
that each student will have individual

FAIRBANKS WILL
OPEN CONGRESS
Vice President Will Address
Irrigation Congress
Monday

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Sept. 1.-The
opening day of the fifteenth National
Irrigation congress, which convenes in
this city beginning today will
be a memorable event il the history
of California. The great feature of
the program will be the speech of
Vice President Fairbanks. Mr.. Fair
banks is intensely interested in the
work and purposes of the congress. He
never appears to better advantage as
platform speaker of great force and
keen logic than when discussing the
problems to which the Irrigation con-
gress addresses itself. The presence
and participation of the vice presi-
dent at the opening proceedings of
the coming session adds distinct in
terest and Importance to the occa-
sion. Mr.. Fairbanks speech will be
notable effort.
Response by Governors.
Among the addresses of response by
visiting delegations will be those Of
| several governors of state. 1t is ex-
| pected that at least six governors will
! b present and take part in this fea-
ture of the Inauguration of the great
! convention One of the most impor-
tant speeches of the opening day will
be that of Hon. George E. Chamber
lain. governor of oregon. Governor
Chamberlain is president of the Ma
tional Irrigation congress. Both by
reason of his position and his eminent
qualifications as a public speaker anG
one thoroughly familiar with every
phase of the irrigation movement, his
address will be among the most valua-
convention.
Prominent Men Expected.
The immense attendance OF promi
nent and influential men from every
section of the United States will max
the opening of the convention one o
the most notable events in the lin
of national conventions. When it i
remembered that all delegates to tn,
congress are obliged to bear their owl
expenses, without hope of subscribing
any private end or ambition, the higl
character of the men and the disinter
estness of their motives are apparent
1t serves, also, to difrerentiate thi
from other national conventions of ;
similar kind
A great feature OF the opening da!
program will be the rendition of tn
