During the service each mourner
keeps his sponge ready. and every

AUTO FOR TIGER HUNTING.
suppIantins the Elephant and How
dab with Princes of India.

No preparations have now to be
made when the news of a tiger roam-
ing in Jungle is brought. Petrol,
and not a howdah. is the thing to
be cared for. A few minutes drive
brings the hunter and the tiger face
to face with each other.
News came In the other day OF a
tiger roaming on the banks of the
sindh near Uchar. village some
fourteen miles from Data City. The
Maharajah accordingly motored out
to the village with his staff on the
18th. That day was devoted simply
to observing the movements of the
tiger. A goat was tied up and was
duly slain by the tiger, who, MAX
ing for the river bed and placing his
prey on the sand close TO the water,
entered the cool pool and bathed and
gambolled for some time. Having
thoroughly enjoyed himself, he came
out, and after feasting In the clear
moonlight took his way back to the
Jungle.
Next day the Maharajah sat up for
the tiger. The beast returned to his
feed, and had just caught the goat
by the right ear when the Mahara-
jah fired, hitting the tiger in the
bead, the first bullet proving fatal.
The Tiger rolled over on the ground,
with the goat held fast in his jaws.
Early in the morning the Mahara-
jah returned in his motor car with
the dead tiger placed in the rear
seat, the goat still hanging In the
tigers mouth SO fast was the grip
that the goat did not fall down,
though the motor was run at full
speed, 1t was a very strange sight
to see the slayer and the slain driv-
ing and driven together and the goat
hanging in the jaws Of the dead tiger.

ACREAGE DEVOTED TO HEMP
Increase in importation Offers Market
fer Larger Home Production
of Fiber.

The bluegrass region of Kentucky,
in the center of which lies Lexington,
raises about 10000 acres of Cannabis
saliva from which hemp is procured.
The acreage devoted to hemp in other
parts of the United States is very
small-perhaps 600 acres around Lin
coin, Neb., and an equal number in
the lower Sacramento valley in Cali
fornia, with small experimental plant
ings in Indiana, Pennsylvania, Wis
%consin, Michigan, Minnesota. Iowa and
Arkansas.
Russia produces more for export
than all other countries, but Italy,
Austria-Hungary, Germany, France,
Belgium, Turkey, China and Japan
grow it commercially for fiber.
All the hemp fiber produced In this
country is used in American mills,
and as increasing quantities are being
imported, a market for a larger home
production is offered. Therefore, the
circular recently issued by the United
States department of agriculture on
the cultivation of hemp in the United
States, in which climate, soil, sowing,
harvesting the plant, and methods of
preparing the soft gray or yellow bast
fiber are described and explained,
should prove of interest to farmers in
those sections of the country outside
of the recognized hemp growing re-
gion where soil and climate seem to
offer a prospect favorable to its pro-
duction.

ROTATION RESTS THE SOIL
Allowing Land to Lie Idle Does Not
Bring About Result Lazy
Farmer lmagines.
BY r. PERSON.

BY II. PlEftSON.
A neighbor of ours Is a bit discour-
aged over his crop outlook and thinks
his soil needs a rest, therefore, he is
talking of following his land next
year. Allowing to lie idle for a season
may be a good thing for the lazy
farmer, but | never could see any
other eason for it. The idea, of
course, is to rest the land and the
conserving of an extra season for a
single crop. This might be done pro-
vided the man has cultivated during
the fallow period, a fine mulch main
tanned, and the weeds kept down, but
If it is all to grow up to weeds and
grass this will take III quite as much
moisture as a crop of corn or anything
else. Soil cannot assimilate plant
food unless it is cultivated, and there
fore, it follows that much of this food
goes to waste on fallow land. If the
farmer would set his plants a little
deeper, keep the cultivator going
more steadily, rest" his land by a
change of crops. buy a manure spread.
er, then use it, his farm would pro-
duce twice as much as it will If he
carries out his following plans.
