results as follows:
Where no phosphoric rock was
used the corn averaged 1927 bushels
per acre. Where 1000 pounds phos-

The 1855 bushel gain used 1911

81 never shall forget the names
my Kafir boys took" said Western
woman in New York who kept house
several years in South Africa, where
her husband was manager of mine.
When the kafir boys come from the
kraals no one ever uses their native
names. AS soon as they are brought
in contact with the whites they take
a white name.
This produces results which are
not lacking in humor. Among the
house boys Knife. Fork and Spoon
were common names. Table. Chair,
Watch, Carriage. and Matchbox were
other names that had in the house
at various times. Ny butler rejoiced
in the stately appellation Of New One.
1t was when the slang phrase That's
a new one on me- was going about.
''One of my house boys took the
unitarian name Of Ham and Eggs.
The Kafirs are very fond of rice when
they learn to eat it among the whites,
and our stable boy thought he had
found the incest name in the world
in Rice. But the Kaffirs have the
same difficulty as the Chinese in pro-
nouncing the letter r, so poor Rice
always called himself Lice.

a nice name, and If he could not have
that name he would not work for her.
He was so stubborn about it that she
had either to use the name or to send
him back to the compound. Event
ually she kept him, and she told me
that 1t was a relief to her feelings
sometimes to have kitchen boy an
swering to just that name.
The Kafirs are very initiative and
will cook dish exactly as they have
been taught. But never could quite
bring myself to eat Kafiir cooking.
1t is apt to be weird.

did the cooking. Once she went dowr

Missouri has been an object lesson in reform for some years now It has successfully assailed and overcome corrupt political practices in the in- terest of the people and now it has assailed it's home trusts with a view of procuring the greatest good for the greatest number, regardless of how it affects Missouri.

 The custer proceedings brought by the state of Missouri against the five great meat packing companies, the plants of which are within it's bor- ders, is a bigger undertaking than the action against the Standard Oil com pany It constitutes an attack upon a home industry where the other was a foreigner.
