sruEssEr,s LIFE IN IAN.
Confined with Nebogatoff and Two Naval
Commanders.

A st. Petersburg paper gives the fol-
lowing account of Gems. Stoessel and
Nebogatoff, now confined in the fortress
of SIS. Peter and Paul, together with
the naval commanders Grigoneff and
I.ischin: THE generals have each spa
cious cell, well lighted, while the other
two prisoners have cell equally large
In common. The cells have large win
dows, with iron bars, overlooking the
Neya and the Winter palace The furni-
ture for each is camp bed, large and
small table, two chairs, and a press. The
prisoners outdoor recreation consists of
gardening, under the direction of Lischin,
who is no stranger to that art and mys-
terry. According to the rules of the
prison fortress, the four unfortunate war
prisoners rise at s a. m, take their tea,
and then proceed to the garden abutting
upon the Neva. At noon they dine to-
gether, Nebogatoff presiding at the mess.
What the conversation of these men.
upon whom Fortune has not smiled, but
whose bravery has never been impugned,
is, can only be imagined. At p. M,
they sup, and at 8 O'Clock they take tea.
Between times they can read what they
like, newspapers, books and magazines.
Ii seems that Stoessel and Nebogatoff
met for the first time in prison. They
only knew one another from photo
graphs. 'Alasl that we should meet in
such place said Stoessel to his COM
panion in misfortune as adOwll his check
n tear unbidden stole Nebogatoff replied
God above is our judge. We must never
lose courage.

Pensions for Widows.

In stating that the Australian state
of Queensland in 1879 began a system
of substituting widows in the care of
their children, Consular Agent Asbury
Caldwell of Brisbane writes of its fur
Their development:
1.-THE idea has steadily grown, and il
has been found wiser for the state to
pension the mother for the care of her
children than to condemn her to such
employment which would cause her to
neglect the children. The following new
scale of weekly allowances was author
lied by the recent Parliament, to take
effect May l, 1908: For one child, $1.22;
two children. $1.10 each; three children,
81 cents each; four children, 81 cents
each: more than four children, a maxi
mum of S43S."

rock salt is fed automaticall to a table
contained in large furnace, is then
fused and runs into troughs, from
which it is drawn at one side Of the
furnace into large caldrons. Air IS
forced into the molten mass and lime
is added. The impurities sink to the

Passing through the mint attention
was directed to a large pair of scales,
which were said to be as fine as any
thing in the country. They recalled the
grand balance of scale used in the Bank
of England, and on inquiry the mint
scales proved to be a worthy specimen
of the same class. The Old Lady of
Threadneedle Street uses a piece of
mechanism that stands about seven feet
high and weighs in the neighbo.G.ood of
two tons. This scale is set every day,
just as the one at the mint is, and is so
delicately adjusted that it viii correctly

bell and keeping it up until its load is
lightened. Philadelphia Record.

GARBANzo CROP OF MEXICO.
One of the Highest Priced Field Products
of the Country.


The garbanzo is neither pea nor q
bean, but occupies position somewhat
between the two, and although but little
used among foreigners it is highly priced
in all Latin countries. There is a de-
mand for it in the Mediterranean ports
of Spain and Italy and in Cuba, and il
forms an important article of export
among the agricultural products of this
country.
When roasted it somewhat resembles
roasted chestnut in flavor, although by
many persons preferred to the chestnut
1t is also boiled with rice, and very
good broth is made from it.
The garbanZo crop of Mexico is grown
on lands which are adapted to the
growth of wheat, but as it is raised
without irrigation when the wheat crop
is short, the garbanzo crop is proportion
ately large. as it is planted on wheat
land that did not have sufficient water
for irrigation. 1t is not confined to this
class of land, however, as any good
black land will produce it. The plant
itself resembles somewhat dwarf pea
vine, although much more stocky and
with smaller leaves. There are from one
to four garbanzos in pod, and as rule
the fewer there are per pod the larger
the garbanzo.
The best quality of garbanzo is one OF
the highest priced Mexican field pro.
ducts. The best qualities are exported
to Spain and Cuba, and as it is very
susceptible to the influence of dampness
it is not sent to the coast until the yes
sci on which it is to be imported is ac-
tually in port. 1t is customary for the
exporters to collect their shipments al
points with o dry temperature and sew
eral thousand feet elevation, but that
are near enough to the tide water to be
able to reship promptly when the oppor-
unity arriYes.-NIeNican Herald

Photographing the Stomach.

A new apparatus has been devised by
physician in Munich, by which the in
side of the stomach can be clearly photo
graphed. The camera is actually swal-
lowed by the patient, and when il
reaches ITS destination the interior of the
stomach is Illuminated by n small cleo
trio lamp attached to the apparatus. AT
the bottom of the camera IS woNnd q
Photographic film 20 inches long and a
of an inch wide. The physician pulls
a cord which runs the film past the lens
the electric lamp is turned on, and the
impression is made on the sensitive film
This procedure is repeated until the Te
quisite number of pictures have been
taken.-Popular Mechanics.

firmly believe in mixed farmi1S -
even then we must specialize on Some
certain line of stock feeding and rota-
ton of crops if we make a decided sue
cess of the business. Call Ii general
farming, but let's not call 1t mixed
farming As grandfather used to say,
BE something. II You cannot be long

hobby, some kind of crop or some
kind of live stock and specialize on that

sight, the second place being occupied
by man and the horse, which have
nearly equal visual power Sheep DO

sum each year TO maintain the fences
on the 25.o000oo acres OF improved land
in the State.
In making these estimates, II. T.
Baker, professor Of forestry in Iowa
State Agricultural College, figured that
the farms of Iowa required 100000
posts for fences, or 1000 to the square
mile. Placing the value of the posts at
10 cents each, the cost Of renewals ev-
cry eight or nine years, which Is the
life of the post, is $11, 71SOoo, making
an annual bill for renewals Of s., 465,-
900.
Like many other farming States.
Iowa has lack of fence post material.
but there is little excuse for this con
dition, according TO the foresters who
have made studies In the State A prop
erly managed forest plantation Will
produce. when the trees have reached
post size, $500 pos IS :2:1ee to five inches
in diameter per acre; thus, it would
take 22,350 acres about every ten years
to grow the necessary posts to supply
the State. Iowa is said to have 200,
coo acres of planted timber, and yet the
fence post supply is insufficient. II
properly cared for, many of these plan
tations can be made to produce moro
timber, and thus insure the future post
supply,
These 100000 acres are not at present
furnishing the posts which 1t Is esti-
mated can actually be grown on %, 800
acres Of properly handled forest land.
Removing Sapiings and stumps.
In uprooting young trees a team or
horses or even a single horse with a
chain can do effective work. Best re-
suits can be obtained where the growth
consists of saplings two to rour inches
In diameter and where the root system
Is lateral. The plan is TO fasten one
end of the chain to the trunk as high

The progressive farmer rotates his
crops. He tile-drains his land. He
keeps dairy cows or mutton sheep or
both. He breeds draft horses and does
farm work with brood mares and grow
ing colts. He improves the power of
the soil by growing legumes."
James Wilson, secretary Of agricul-
ture, In the above words sums up the
vital principles of good farming. He
declares that the people of the United
States have wasted their inheritance OF
land and wood, and the productiveness
Of the soil near the great centers of

there is at last an awakening slow but
sure.
Farmers of all sections are wanting
to know how TO stop the leaks and IN
crease the deposits of their business and
the government is helping them in many
ways. There are over 1900 persons
employed in the Department of Agri-
culture and 1000 of these are scientists,
