LOOK NOW TO DRY
FARMING
Method of Cu1tivating Lands
Hitherto Considered Arid.

DRY farming, quickly defined, is
the art OF raising grain, fruit and vege-
tables on lands hitherto considered
arid. and OF no value except for sheep
grazing" announces John F. Burns,
secretary treasurer of the Dry Farm
ing congress. Not only the United
States, but a large portion of the
whole world is interested in dry farm
ing, and at our convention at Chey-
enne few weeks ago, representa-
tives from Canada, Mexico, Siberia,
Australia and the Transvaal were in
terested participants. The growing
population of the world demands that
these hitherto neglected areas be made
to produce and the area of arid lands
devoted TO farming will grow rapidly
from year TO year.

Monterey, Mexico.-One of party
OF five hunters returned to this city
with one of the saddest tales reported
here in years. He and his compan.
ions went for an extended hunt and
exploration trip in the mountains of
Chihuahua, expecting to kill big game
and see country new to ALL They were
plentifully supplied with food, equip

days hard tramping reached the Sec

Mustang Has Arab Blood.

What is known as the California
horse or mustang is in his ancestry
and essential qualities an Arab. His
forbears were brought by the Arabians
into Asia Minor; thence by the con-
quering Moslems into the Barbary
countries; thence by the Moors into
Spain; thence by the Spaniards to
horseless America, and thence to Mex
leo, whence they spread throughout
the western half of the continent.
Hard fare and inbreeding have deteri-
Grated the mustang at some points,
but in his essential qualities the Cali
fornia horse is still true son of the
desert. The attempt is now being
made to improve the breed by the i'm
portation of Arab stock.

kina Edwards Iitle

II is not only Edward the Confes-
sor's distinctive title that made his
present majesty Edward VII, whereas
he is, in fact, Edward X. There had
been two previous Edwards. Edward
j. was, of course, the first of the Nor
man line, but the use by Plantagenets
of that Saxon name shows that they
did not intend to cut off the connec-
tion. The present king of England
6escends from both lines, but he could
not disarrange the numbering of the
Plantagenets and their succeeding Ed
wards; and, curiously enough, the
three Saxons had titles that took the
place of numbers-the Elder, the Mar
tyr and the Confessor.-London Chron-
icle.

game, after which they intended hav-
ing a general hunt.
His companions were soon startled
by the terrible cries of the guide
rushing into camp, but could get no
word out of him. except "tigre, tigre,
as he showed them several terrible
ders. Snatching up their arms the
four men rushed off in the direction
from which the guide had come, and
soon reached narrow passageway
about some huge rocks, looking over
precipice thousands of feet deep.
Midway in this passage they found a
pool of blood, few shreds of a
shirt, and the signs of q struggle
nothing more.
Standing there in silence, no one
stirred for awhile, when one of the
men started back to camp. He was
followed by the others. At camp they
heard the guides version of the al.
fair. He is said to have stated the
hunter was in front, when mon.
strous tiger sprang upon him, crush.
ing him to the earth. He then turned
his attention to the Mortified guide,
and inflicted the wounds on him, but
returned to the hunter, who had fred
upon him. Then with a mighty toss
of his head, the beast is said to have
severed the hunters head from his
body, after which the guide waited for
no further effects, but took to his
heels in an effort to save his own
life.
The party broke camp the follow
ing morning. The guides lost their
way, and after days of wandering
about the mountains, came to a small
village, when the one reporting these
details left the others to come to
Monterey, while they went on to Chi
huahua to bear the sad tidings of
their companions death to his family.

A fair day to the public means day
on which no rain falls. The weather bureau
calls fair-weather prediction verified

not exceed .02 of an inch. A rainy-day pre-

cent is allowed the forecaster if the day
is entirely fair save for slight mist or a
sprinkle of few drops of rain. Can you
