October: he then packed the ground
with a heavy Durham packer; then
drilled five pecks Of wheat TO the acre

Dunbar packer. He used no fertilizer
of any kind. There was a loss Of wheat
in this field on account of Sheiilng u

of at least our bushels per acre, in
my estimation: Mr.. Teeter says 1t was
much more. Mr.. Teeter made IN ali

best land in this county. He was not
like the Davidson farmer who left his
binder in the field until he finished
shocking his wheat and then
could not get it out until
he hauled out his wheat as
the shocks stood too thick to get IT
out. All of our Cabarrus farmers were
caught that way several years ago. but
they have earned to get the binder
out for the first thing when they finish
a field now.

courts of India for her right to Parsee
burial. This means that at death she
VAL be laid naked upon one of the
Towers of Silence. and have the flesh
picked from her bones by a foe of
vultures which have always fed upon
human flesh. This is the universal
Parsee disposition Of the dead. They
DO not bury the body in the earth nor
burn it. Fire is too holy and sacred
to be detied with a orpse and the
work of the worms is too slow and too
vile. Instead they lay their bodies
out in the open IN an iron grating
under the sky and the birds pick the
bones.
The place where the towers of the
dead stand is a beautiful one. 1t is
on Malabar Hill, an elevation rising
almost straight up from the sea, and
washed by the winds from the ocean.
The hill is covered with a beautiful
garden. You walk up to it over Well
paved roads shaded by tropical trees
and bOrdered with flowers and shrubs.
Winding your way through this lux
uriant vegetation you at last reach a
point from whence you can see far out
over the Indian ocean,, and turning
landward view the whole of Bombay.
Here among the trees at one side. shut
off by an iron railing SC that none but
the priests may enter, stand five great
circular towers as white as the bones
which lie on their top.
Laid Upon a GridirOn.
Each tower S about twenty-five feet
in height and ninety feet in diameter.
It is crowned with a grating or great
c%ircula gridirOn which slopes toward
the center, where a we'll five feet in
width runs down to the sea.
The gridiron grating is cast in sec
tons and so formed that there are foot
paths here and there through it. In
each tower there are certain divisions
for the classes Of the dead. One sec
ton is devoted to the bodies of men.
another to those of women and a third
to the children, the last part nearest
the we'll. The bodies are stripped
naked before they are placed upon the
towers; and after the flesh has been
devoured by the vultures the skeletons
are left to bleach and dry in the sun.
The bodies are taken into the towers
by two bearded men dressed all in
