The above question comes up many
times for discussion Many farmers
do not believe that farm schools or
colleges of agriculture are of any real
value to farmers in general.
First, let us say there is such a thing
as the Science of Agriculture. Or per.
haps we had better say, that a numLel
of the special sciences belong to tbs
full study of agriculture. Among them
is the science of agricultural chemis
try. through which we obtain q knowl-
edge of soils and the elements Ct which
they are composed and those that the
soil lacks. Also chemistry gives us a
complete knowledge OF feeds, of milk
and milk products, of water and it's
purity or foulness. Indeed chemistry
lies under the science of agriculture
everywhere Then there is the science
of Botany, whereby we study scientifi
cally the laws of plant life, with which
the practical farmer has so much to
do. Again, the science of Entomology
which pertains to insect life. 1t is
through a study of this science that
we know how to combat the host of
destructive insects that constantly
threaten the farmer Then there is the
science of BacteriOlogy which pertains
to the lowest order of all life. A
knowledge of this science is very i'm
portant in dealing with the soil, ami
NAL and plant life everywhere, and all
their products. Bacteria have much to
do with the growth of all the clovers,
and the rest of the legume family of
plants. The handling of milk products
is particularly affected by bacteria.
Then there is the science of Physics
of Agriculture, which comprehends a
wide range. Whenever force or physi-

At formal dinners the ladies rise at

twenty minutes or so in the drawing

Did you ever notice that though you

Well, that's why He doesn't have

WAYS in that state and who do not care
particularly so long as they can get
food, drink, and shelter. The men re-
ferred to are respectable artisans. who
one after another have been turned
out of employment because TIL re is
not work for them in their Old shops.
These men, with their families, have
kept on hoping against hope, parting
with this piece of furniture or that
article of clothing. until at last they
have had to entirely clear out their
homes, leaving themselves stranded,
wretched and poverty str lcken.
The good old days when men were
thrown to lions and traitors blown
from the mouths of cannon lave not
passed. 1t will come US 81 shock to
many good people when they learn
that such tragedies are being enacted
today, but such as the fact. Reliable
reports Of the execution of Blu Ha-
mara, the captured Pretender to the
throne of Morocco, at the hands Of
Sultan Mu1ai Haf6, have reached
London. and depict a scene quite as
horrible as any witnessed in the
worlds bloody history.
Despite the protest OF the consuls,
the Pretender was thrown to the lions.
This was not done, however, until
the Sultan had asked Ru Hamara in
what manner ne had dealt with those
he had taken as prisoners. The Pre-
tender refused to answer, but some
of his captured followers were forced
to confess.
They said that he usually blew his
prisoners from the mouths of guns or
soap and then caused them to be
threshed with chains so that strips of
flesh were torn off: or would sit oppo-
site a pinioned prisoner and cut pieces
from his limbs, transfix them on
skeWer, grill them over fire, and
force the victim to eat his own flesh;
or would mutilate his captives in ways
too dreadful to describe.
Then the Sultan said to the Preten-
der: Blu Hamara, you are no man, but
a beast, and as such Will. l deal with
YOU" He then ordered the prisoner
to be thrown to the lions.
Chains were put upon his feet and
he was taken out. While the Sultan and
looking a garden Whe1c three starved
lions were loose. The Pretender was
pushed through the gate and the gate
shut
The big lioness saw him first and
rushed at him He, shreking. ran to
an orange tree near by, and in his
fear nearly got up it. But with one
blow the animal threw him to the
ground and tore off his left arm.
Immediately he appeared to faint.
At once a live sheep was thrown
over the wall to attract the Infatuated
lioness.
Then the hajeeb (the Sultans facto-
tum) and a soldier ran across to the
injured man and drove q curved knife
a doZel times into his breast. They
retired hastily, after which the other
lions came up and threw the body
about as cat does that of d mouse.

ing for him, and asked him to as
sist them in capturing him, stating
that they had shot him in an effort
to capture him the night before. On
returning home the physician found
Mack sitting on the steps. Mack
asked him if he would not dress his
wound, saying that he had shot him
self accidentally. After joking the
negro some time about getting shot
in a crap game the physician carried
him into his Office and had him re-
move his clothes and lay on a table
so he could dress the wound. AS
soon as the negro was down the
physicians signaled the officers, who
took him into custody. At the time
of the arrest and trial Gov. Noel or
tdered troops to the scene as a meas
ure of precaution. No attempt was
made at iynching, however, though
it was thought best to remove the
negro from Vicksburg Jail to await
the date of execution.

The experiments being conducted
by the Business Mems club are prov

indications are concerned. Mayor G.
l.. Wood and l. H. Chase were out
to the station a mile north of the
city Sunday and had a very fair OPP
p%ortunity to inspect the condition of
the crops. They found the small
grain, consistino of wheat, flax, oats
and corn growing in fine shape ex-
cept for the slight damage done by
the hail a few days ago.
There are four varieties of wheat
being grown by the old and the new
method, and there are varieties of
corn, oats and fax. A marked diff
ference in the crops is noted, in
every instance in favor OF the new
method, there being over twenty pei
cent improvement shown in favor OF
the new method and in weight, over
that per cent.
Later, when the grain is ready tc
harvest it is planned to have a rep.

sible prevail upon the state to estab.

city. The intention being to give
an opportunity to give the new meth,

prove successful but will return ad.
