The Bank Of England has raised the
discount rate. which is fair warning to
spectators to go slow. The Bank Of
England always takes such action
when protection of the gold reserve Is
desirable. and recent demands for the
metal have convinced the managers
that the action is opportune. Business
conditions here and elsewhere are
sound at heart. and the sumption OF
activity In nearly every line Of indus
try Is evident to all. The big crops
niso contribute their share toward
American prosperity. But It is appar-
emily an invariable rule that such re-
vivais are attended by more or less
speculation endangering commercial
stability. The lessons of the past
have no effect. and reckless individu.
ais plunge In without regard to the
risk involved to others as well as
themselves. The putting up of the dis
count rate is a signal that should be

RESTORING FARM LAND.

The world will not soon starve. The
fertility OF the soil is increasing and
there is no such thing as the exhaus-
tion Of land. The chief of the bureau
of soils of the department of agricul-
ture recently wrote a pamphlet or bull
letin which gives negation to the
croaks of soil pessimists. says Wash
ington Star. The productiveness OF
land in the United States is increasing.
The average wheat yield per acre In
this country is two bushels greater
than 1t was 40 years ago. though the
corn yield per acre is slightly lower.
Ignorant or careless tillage has de-
spoiled much American land Of its
fertility. New England has a vast
acreage of abandoned FARMS" though
the acreage is not SO large as 1t was
a few years ago. This result is due
both to improvem 1t OF cultural meth

brought about by indefensible methods
Of husbandry. This land can be re-
stored. Goodly patches have been
made fertile. The restoration OF land
requires some capital. 1t costs money
to treat 1t with commercial fertilizer.
1t also costs money to restore 1t by
the legume route. Clover seed is not
cheap. and 1t takes time to get stand

soldiers sent out from the fort appeared
on a hill close by. The two Indians at
first did not know what 10 do, but they
stood by their ponies. and the soldiers
made them mount and ride on ahead to

Indians to the guard house. with strict
orders to see that they did not escape.
He then ordered a court-martial to
convene the next day. The result of

was hung and the other two Indians
were sent back to the guard house.
This all happened before we arrived
at Fort Laramie, but Two Faces body

when we left there on the Indian cam
paign, which / shall tell of later. The
woman and child were seen by some of

they told her of finding the mans leg

that it was the ruins of their ranch
