DISCOVERIES IN EGYPT.
Relics of the Isreaiites-city of Ram
ses Identified.

Several details of recent important
discoveries made in the vicinity of
Cairo by Prof Flinders Petrie, the
well-known Psychologist, have been
received from him by Rev. DR.. Will
lam Copley Winslow, the archeoio-
gist of Boston. DR.. Winslow announ
ces that Prof. Petrie has discovered
the remains of the Temple of Onias
at Tel-el-Yahudich (the mound of
the Jew,) Is miles north of Cairo,
that the professor has brought to
light evidences of the presence Of
the Hyksos kings (the splendid kings
in the delta, thereby solving an an
teresting puzzle. on this point, ana
that in all probability the professor
has identified the treasure city OF
Raamses, built by the Israelites in
bondage thousands of years before
the time of Christ. The construct
ion of the city is referred to in the
first chapter of the the book of Exc
dus The mounds at Tel-Ie-Yahudich
We're visited and described in 1926
by Linant, the French engineer and
explorer. Subsequently, Greville,
Chester, Hayter Lewis, Brugscle- Bey
and others examined or excavated
the site. In 1887, for the Egypt ex-
ploration fund, Prof. Naville made
determined efforts to disclose the Sc
crets of the mounds, but in vain.
Prof. Petrie in his communication
to DR.. Winslow, says: Our discovery
OF the actual town and temple site of
Onias is beyond a doubt. 1t is a.
very clear case of all the known re-
quirements being satisfied as to date.

cess. and IL they fail they have gone
wrong In one or both Of these points
In the winter care of our brood
sows, there are two things that we
always keep in mind; first, to feed
them such feeds as will promote the
greatest growth of bone and muscle
and develop the strongest pigs. and
second, see that our breeding stock
gets plenty Of exercise.
The ration for our brood sows the
past winter has been as follows: In
the morning and evening we give
them slop made of about two parts
wheat middiings and one part ground
oats and barley. To this is added
some germ oil meal, or a little of
Swift's Digester Tankage and a
bushel basket of clover leaves and
blossoms, or fine cut second growth
clover hay. This feed is soaked
from one feed to the other and fed in
thick slop. After the morning feed,
we SOW some whole oats around the
yard very thinly for the hogs to pick
up. 1t takes them a long time to
pick them up and they get lots of ex-
ercise in this way. We have bred
hogs to be good feeders and make
good use of the feed fed them in lay
Ing flesh on their backs, so we must
bear this in mind in caring for our
breeding stock and see that they get
plenty OF exercise, or we may be di >
appointed at our results and say the
well bred hog is a failure.
In conclusion will say that IL we

cAcAo PROFITABLE IN CUBA.
Other Parts of the World Unable 10
Supply the Growing Demand.

According to Director Earle or the
Cuban agricultural experiment station.
the cacao grows well in many PARIS
OF the island and probably would
flourish even in regions now consid-
cred unsuited to it If little more
study were given to its needs. Cacao
rs very attractive crop for the ag-
r1culturist, for the development of re-
gions suitable for its culture has alto
gether failed to keep pace with The
growing demand. The worlds annual
production at present is 200, 600, 900
pounds. valued at $50, 100000.
Prof. William S. Lyon of the Philip
pine bureau of agriculture has pre-
pared some figures giving the cost
and the revenue from cacao farm of
forty acres, which are very attractive
when 1T is remembered that the term
OF productivity runs to eighty or a
hundred years. The cost of land is
not included in the estimate. because
that item varies SO greatly. Here is
Prof. Lyons estimate for a term of
ten years, the expenses being based
on systematic scientific management
while the returns are based on trees
that have no culture whatever. so
that there is wide margin on the
side of conservatism.
The expenses for the first year.
which include clearing the land and
the purchase of equipments. seeds.
cattle and implements, building and
labor, aggregate $4,000. The ex.
penses for the second and third years
are limited to $3.50 year for interest
on the investment and for deteriora-
ton of equipment
The expenses for the fourth year
are increased by the cost of building
a drying house and sweat boxes.
This, including the interest, brings the
outlay for four years up to $4,000
Otner crops can be raised between
the growing trees in the second, third
and fourth years that will defray the
operating expenses until the cacao
trees begin to bear.
The first crop will be gathered i,
the fifth year. The cost of harvesting
curing and packing will bring the ex-
pense account up to $1,000. To off
set this there will be a yield of 300
grams of cacao per tree from II $50
worth about $3.50.
The yield of cacao in the sixth year
will probably be 500 grams to the tree
or crop worth about s2,OSO, while
the running expenses will be about
1880, leaving a profit of $500. The
net profits may now be expected to
grow at the rate OF 81 900 a year un-
I'll the tenth year, when the net re-
turns will be $4,000
