Is worth from $500 to $500 an acre, and
furnishes a heavy traffic OF cotton and
grain. The distance from Alexandria
to Cairo is 1873 miles. and all the way is
through luxuriant farms. There is no
desert In sight until you reach Cairo.
Cotton is piled up at every depot.
there are boat loads of It on the ca.

region alone would probably pay the
expenses of the road. and In addition
there Is the big passenger travel from
Cairo to Alexandria and from all parts
of the Delta.
The next division above Cairo goes
to Assiout. which Is two or three hun
dred miles further north. Then comes
the road from Asslout to Luxor, ending
up with the narrow-gauge line from
Luxor to Assouan. All OF these divis-

tipping the walters and porters and
all who waited on the public a good one,
and he encouraged his congregation TO
make a habit Of tipping" for said he.

HEAT COOKED FISH
SWIMMING IN POND

NEWPORT. Pa. July 3O.-An unusual
occurrence is reported from near Dun
cannon, where, during the heat of last
week. numerous shallow ponds were
so warm that it was impossible to
bathe in them.
One farmer. bug" Halling, had a
fock of ducks living on one pond.
and he was amazed TO find them on
the bank with most of the feathers
boiled off All the fish were boiled
TO a turn and ready for the table.
Eggs dropped into the water were
hard boiled in a few minutes, and where
the branches Of oyerhanging trees
touched the surface the leaves shriv-
eled.
Several farmhands, figuring on a bath
after a hard days work in the fields,
jumped into the pond without ascer-
tanning the temperature, and although
the pond had slightly cooled off under
the evening breezes, they were so bad
ly scalded that they could not work
for three days.

FEED STALE BREAD
AND FATTEN HOGS

PITTSBURG. July 3o.-Stale bread, at
a rate Of more than / cent per pound,
is now what the farmers of western
Pennsylvania are feeding to their hogs.
High price Of feed on which pigs have
been fattened for years has made it i'm
perative that something other than
ccrn or chop such IS ground corn,
oats, and rye is known, be found, and
the best substitute thus far found is the
stale bread which for years has vir-
tuaIly gone 10 waste in Pittsburg. The
big bread manufacturers at Pittsburg

and within the last week bread for the
farmers, pigs has besn raised to Sl7 per
ton, with the farmer paying tor the
bags in which It is shipped.
This is at the rate of 50 cents per 100
pounds for the bread, bags costing 4
cents each for each twenty-five pounds
of bread, which makes the present cost

PREACHERS CUT OFF
FROM LOWER FARES

CINCINNATI, July 80. 49, Preachers
have been notified that their special
railroad rate OF ~ cents a mile will
be abolished next year. This means
that 10000 ministers reporting 70 head
quarters Of various denominations in
Cincinnati will have to pay the full
rate of 2 cents a mile in Ohio and
8 cents in Kentucky
This action of the railroads is the
elimination Of its campaign against
passes, which began two years ago.
The railroads assert that during 1906
about 100. 900 preachers certificates were
issued, emitting the holders to the min
listers special rate. The present stop
means that the railroads will receive
$500. 600 a year more from the ministry

Secretary of Agriculture
Believes 1t Necessary
to Regulate Water
Supply.
Appalachian, White, and
AdirondackS Viii Prob
ably Get First
Attention.

SEATTLE, Wash, July 3O-Secretary
OF Agriculture James Wilson. who is in
Washington looking into the conditions
of forest reserves, in an interview here
outlined a great deal Of work that is TO
be done by the department and by the
various States for the preservation or
forests
Down in Virginia, Tennessee. and
North Carolina" said Mr.. Wilson, the
people want the Appalachian range
that is. the mountain tops-set aside IL
is understood in a general manner that
the request grows from desire TO pre-
serve the scenery, but the important
fact is that the people Of Virginia want
their water supply protected. The for
ests in the mountains have everything
10 do with regulating the fertility OF
the soil by holding back the SHOWS and
waters and allowing them TO seep grad
ually into the ground.
Two Other Reserves Favored.
Il heartily favor this reserve and
trust Congress will grant it by special
act Another reserve favor is that
wanted by the people of New Hamp-
shire Tho White mountains are being
cut into by ruthless lumbermen and
tect the forests in that State. The de-
sire OF New York State for the preserva-
ton of the Adirondack mountains as a
national park also is a good one and
meets with approval. All three OF these
reserves should be granted without
further delay. II is surprising how
many States are asking for forest re-
serves"
Mr.. Wilson regards the forestry ques-
ton as being most important TO the
country. The mountains are the natural
reservoirs OF the country, holding back
the SHOWS and the water and allowing
them 10 seep gradually into the earti
and to the lowldndS. Ruthless destruc-
ton Of forests, IL can be seen. means the
destruction OF the fertility of the soil. a.
we'll as the timber supply. Too much
care cannot be taken with reseeding the
land.
Devotes Himself to Forests.
Secretary Wilson is not paying aten-
tion to crops in his tour of the North
west, but, for the next four weeks viii
devote his time entirely TO the forest re-
serves. When he returns East he viii
likely take up the question OF reserves
IN Virginia. New Hampshire, and New
York
Referring briefly TO methods of esti-
mating crops, Mr.. Wilson says the de-
partment has %. 900 reporters in all parts
of the country. whose estimates Of. fol
instance. the wheat crop. are 50 clos'
that when compiled they give a fairly
accurate estimate Of the national crop.
Referring to the recent arrangement
by the Census Bureau for collecting cot
ton ginning statistics for the ensuing
year. Secretary Wilson said the plaI
should work well. There will be TEL
reports. the first to appear on Septembe
s. and the last on March 20. The ar
rangements provide for distribution o
the figures this year 50 that they canno
