established in Madras, Bombay and the united and central provinces, and there are farming branches in nearly all the industrial schools.
 Started By an American
 "Our modern agricultural movement" " said MT. Miller, was practically begun by an American As far back as 1892 we have had a government expert to advise us as to matters of agricultural chem istry, and we had begun some work along other lines when one of your millionaires, MT. Henry Phipps of Pittsburg. came out to India. He was a friend of Lord Curzon. and as such he spent some time here at Calcutta.
 During his visit he became interested in the condition of the farmers and In the terrible famines which now and then overrun parts of this country. He be- lieved such things could be largely avoid ed by the improvement of our farming methods, and he gave donation of $150,. 900 to start an agricultural school and farm here in Bengal. These were ar- ranged for by the council of state, con- sisting of Lord Curzon, Gen. Lord Kitch- Siioi dilo JULIET iIlou Ol eXporleuC6. SOIIle Of the ablest experts were hired and an up-to-date agricultural college estab- lished. The fund originally given by Mr. Phipps has been added to, until we have now expended something like $6O0,0 in building up the institution. There Is an experimental seed improvement station connected with it, and also a cattle breed ing farm. There are laboratories of various kinds. and in them many chem ists, baoteriologists, entomologists, horti- culturists and botanists. We have a de- partment there for veterinary surgeons. The school is teaching the natives almost everything along the lines of advanced agriculture as adapted to our special needs. It is at the top of such institutions in the country. and many of its stu dents are graduates of the provincial agricultural colleges

 Calcutta, 1910. "HE farmer is the big man of the United States. He Is bigger man ! in India. There are 200,O0o,000 of country. Today he is comparatively quiet. The great unrest which is going on is mostly among the other classes. It Is fomented by the professional men, clerks and graduates of the government schools, whose walking delegates arc moving about among the agricultural masses and stirring up trouble. One of John Bulls biggest problems is to keep the farmers attached to the government, and the British officials are doing all they can to this end.
 l spent an hour the other day at the agricultural department talking with its secretary, MT. J. o. Miller, as to some of the movements. He tells me that the government Is awake to the needs of the farmer and to what is being done for them in other countries. He speaks high ly of our work along such lines, saying that the United States leads the nations and that India is taking lessons from us
 MT Miller tells me that every prov ince of this country has now it's agricul- tural department and agricultural schools. Each is making a study of it's own pe- culiar conditions, and doing what 1t can to improve them. Nearly all have expert mental farms, and are distributing seeds Many are making studies of the insect pests, and not few are tryieg to breed up the stock of their respective territories. Al the top Of the system is an inspector general of agriculture, who acts as a technical adviser to both imperial and provincial governments, and the chief agricultural experts of the country have been combined into board of agricul- ture which meets at certain times to dis- cuss the farming situation and submit recommendations as to its improvement Agricultural colleges have recently been

We find that the half breed cattle are more subject to diseases. and we now have veteranary departments in each province. We have also government breeding farms stocked with COWS and bulls of the pure native breeds Upon | one of these 1000 cows of one breed are maintained. In Mysore the best breed of cattle has long been kept up by the state"
 Have you many fine horses?"
 Our horse breeding Is chiefly for the army We have government farms, and several hundred stallions which are dis tributed to the districts where horses are bred. We find that the Arabs and thoroughbreds form the most desirable sires. We have also thousands of regis tered mares. Horse breeding is encour- aged by prizes offered at fairs, and by tho purchase of good stock by the gov ernment. We have altogether 100000 or SC of horses and ponies in India. Wo are also breeding mules for military pur- poses and have something like 800 donkey stallions. many of which have been im- ported from Cyprus and Italy. We get them also from Spain, Persia and Amer ica. We have about 25.000 pony mares ard a large number of donkey mares as well.
 Opium and the Chinese Market
 Our conversation here turned to the eff forts of China to abolish the use of opium, and asked MT. Miller whether this would not seriously affect poppy farming in India.
 Most assuredly 1t will" was the ply. If China stops using the drug the greater part of our opium farms will be wiped out and we shall lose a large reve- nue. We have agreed to cut down our production and to restrict our importa- tions to China If the Chinese government can show that 1t Is really in earnest in abolishng tho opium evil. As 1t is now we arc getting a revenue of about $24,U0,- 900 per annum out of opium. The loss of that sum will mean much to the govern ment. It will also mean the cutting down of the government service, as we have

A Humorous Taxfdermist

From the Strand Magazine.
 Beneath the shadow of the ruined cas- tie at Bramber, England, there is a novel and interesting museum, well worthy the attention of all who find themselves h that prettiest of South Down villages. The exhibits displayed therein are prin- cipally examples of the art of the taxi- dermist, but the subjects are treated in such humorous manner as to render the museum unique in England From a childs point of view it Is a veritablo Wonderland, reminiscent of the strange sights seen by Alice when she made he~ journey into that delectable country. It Is not, however. only the Juvenile who ss captivated with the exhibition; the adult is none the less amused and agreeabiy surprised at the wonderful ingenuity there displayed.
 The idea of thus combining the art of the taxidermist with that of the humorist was generated in the brain of the veteran proprietor, MT. W. Potter In 1861 MT. Potter set to work to construct his first set piece, Illustrating the Death and Burial of Cock Robin" The work wal done in Mir. Poter's spare time. and wag not completed till seven years had elapsed. The nursery rhyme is too well RfioWn to repeat nere The whole or the incidents in the story are graphically portrayed, and, as evidencing the pa- tence and perseverance exercised by Mr. Potter, 1t may be stated that no fewer than 100 specimens of British birds arc included in the setting. In addition to the birds which figure in the story thero are the cuckoo, nightingale, goldfinch. hawkhnch, bramble-fnch, whyneck, eta Considerable Ingenuity Is displayed in the arrangement of the fish with hia dish," the fly with his little eye" the owl. the bull rendered in miniature, the rock. and the mourning birds all "a-sigh- ing and a-sobbing"

 How is the opium handled?"
 Tn British India It Is government monopoly, and 1t is also raised in the native states. As to the product of the latter the government does not interfere but it allows no opium to come Into or pass through the British territories with out payment of duty.
 The amount of land under such culti- vation Is comparatively small In the British territories 1t Is not more than 1000 square miles, or about equal to your state of Rhode Island. The government decides what fields may be planted in poppies and restricts these to certain sec tions of Bengal and the United Provinces The cultivators receive advances to enable them to prepare the ground and raise the poppies, but are bound to sell their whole crop to the official agents at the govern ment's price. They send 1t to the fac tories, where it is prepared for the mar kets. It Is there put up in chests and shipped to Calcutta, where there are auc- ton sales monthly for export abroad"
 India's Opium the Best
 Why does China. which raises opium itself. take Indian opium?"
 Because our opium is the best of the worlc We have one kind called NIalwa, which brings in something like $S,O00Ooo a year. As to the Chinese. we have agreed to stop sending them opium if they will stop using the drug in the space of ten years. They must also stop raising opium. We have begun to carry out our part of the contract and are gradually re- ducing our manufacture and the areas planted If the Chinese do not carry out their part of the contract we shall con- tinue to export and produce

WY ASHINGTON.-The millionaires
w of the senate have been pleading
ly requested by a young country girl
of Virginia to donate their aggregated
income for "a hours in order that she
may be enabled to acquire such an
education as will qualify her for the
profession of teaching school. She
feels that this would not in the least
impoverish them, while it would en-
rich her beyond hopes desire.
The ambitious girl who has made
this unusual appeal resides at Volney,
Va. She rescribes herself as being
fifteen years old and earnestly seek
ing to better her condition and pro-
vide some means by which she can
become self-supporting. Her COM
munication is entirely frank and fear
less and the writer is apparently con-
vinced that a favorable reply will
come along at no distant date.
The little Virginia lass simply ad-
dressed her letter: 1.-THE Senate

said in passing that these same re-

they will be arrested. They are safe
as long as they remain outside the

Garven cannot get his hands upon
them.
1t is because of the ruling Of Gov
ernor Fort. Through the efforts of
Mr. Garven the Hudson county grand
jury indicted the Chicago packers re-
Gently. Mr.. Garven applied to the
governor for a requisition on Governor
Deneen of Illinois to bring the mil
lionaires to Jersey City for trial.
Governor Fort decided that Mr.. Ar
mour and his associates cannot be re-
garded as fugitives from Justice and
he refused to issue the requisition. He
accompanied the refusal with a care
fully prepared statement of the
grounds for it. The fact that Mr. Ar
mour was not in New Jersey at the
time charged in the indictment is re-
garded by the governor as a sufficient
reason for refusing the request of the
prosecutor.
His decision will probably put an
end to the criminal prosecution, in so
far as most of the individual directors
of the indicted corporations are con-
cerned 1t is not claimed by the gov
ernor that Mr. Armour and his asso-
ciates have not committed crime
