WHY DENMARK
COOK.
ACCEPTED
Maurice e. ]Egan Explains Why His
Statements Were Accepted.

Why Denmark in general and Co.
penhagen in particular accepted the
statements of DR.. Frederick A. Cook
that he had discovered the north
pole, was explained by Maurice e.
Egan, United States minister to that
country, who is making a brief visit
in st. Paul.
1.-The North Pole is looked upon as
standing in the front yard of Den
mark" Mr.. Egan said. Little Dan
ish children are brought up ales
of exploration. To them the s..tdy of
the arctic is like the study of fairy
tales to the children of America, or
of the study of the life of George
Washington.
Americans are the most popular
of foreign people in Denmark, and
when a reputable explorer, as DR..
Cook was believed to be, arrived on
the Danish shore and announced he
had found the pole, the people met
him with acclaim and gloried in his
conquest. His announcement touched
the subject nearest their hearts. He
was banqueted and feasted. Proofs
of his discovery were not asked for
because it is not customary to ask
for them. His statements were ac-
cepted without question.
Because Of these conditions DIR.
Cooks statements were accepted un-
til the scientists made their report
on his records. And, mind you the
scientists had not attempted to dis
credit his statements. They merely
have said, We do not find proof that
he has reached the pole
IF more data were brought, if DR..
Cook should go to Etah and return
with the Eskimos, they would reopen
the case and give him further hear
ing. The Danish people are gentle
manly and unless the fact that DR..
Cook had not reached the pole was
glaringly apparent, the scientists
would not accuse him of lying"
Mr. Egan said the report that the
King of Denmark was angered with
him for inducing him to decorate DR..
Cook was untrue
"A New York paper printed a dis
patch," he said, (which stated that
King Christian was incensed because
l had foisted DR.. Cook upon them.
The truth of the matter is that King
Christian has ben dead for three
and u half years and that King Fred
erich, who now rules the nation, did
not decorate DR.. Cook at all."-St.
Paul Dispatch.

Rotation of Crops.

Prof. d. n. Barrow, is making ex-
cellent talks to the farmers which
are full Of practical suggestions.
Yesterday he talked about rotation
Of crops, which is an Important step
in soil improvement We propose to
exhort little on that subject, so
that our readers, who did not hear
him, may be jolted little just to
set them to thinking.
Seventy-five years ago, before the
day of commercial fertilizer, farm
ers would often let a field rest a
year, as though it was tired or had
lost its producing power. But they
have learned better way to renew
the productivity Of land. They know
how, but many Of them are too care
less and negligent to do as we'll as
they know.
These remarks apply to upland.
Take a two-horse farm of 40 acres
for example. Put IL acres in corn,
IL In small grain and IL in cotton.
Four acres will be left for potatoes,
sorgum and hog food These farmers
who have been working 80 to 25
acres with one mule will be ready to
say that 40 acres is not a two-horse
farm.
See how 1t will work. When the
land is improved by rotation and
deep plowing. the yield will be 80
bushels of corn to the acre, IL 500
pound bales of cotton, $50 bushels Of
oats and 100 bushels of wheat. That
Is no idle dream. 1t can be done, and
1t is going to be done on many farms
before 1920. Besides that, there
Will be sorghum and pine vine hay
enough to carry the stock through
the winter, while the fodder and
straw will be valuable feed. Fat hogs
and fine milch cows will surely come
with the rest.
That is just what wise rotation
of crops will lead up to. Get the plan
IN your nead at once and keep it
there. corn crop with peas plant
ed or sown at laying-by time; small
grain, followed by peas; cotton, with
cover crop sown in September or
October. The four acre lot for po-
tatoes, sorghum and truck should be
so managed and manured that some-
thing should be growing on 1t all the
time. In the fall every little corner
OF land about the lot or house should
be sown In crimson clover, rye or
barley. so that calves, pigs and chick

winter.
We farmers think we are getting
pretty smart, but we have not half

hves OF both men have been full of
stirring adventure. 1t was in reward
Tor daring military service that Gem
eral Terrazas obtained from the gov
ernment large gifts of land which
placed him on the road to the great
fortune which he now possesses.
1t is conservatively estimated that
General Terrazas is worth not less
than 5000, 100000. His property hold
ings are chiefly in the State of Chihua-
hua, but he also has large invest
ments in other parts Of the republic.
General Terrazas is the greatest
land and live stock baron in the world,
1t Is said He owns Is ranches in the
State Of Chihuahua. The ranches en-
brace an aggregate area of more than
100000 acres. For many years spe-
cial attention has been given to rails
ing horses upon these ranches. More
than 100000 head of horses are
grazing upon the Terrazas land.
The mule supply for most of Mexico
comes from the Terrazas ranches.
These animals now number more than
100000 head and are scattered over
the different properties. General Ter
razas' cattle holdings number more
than 100000 head. Several hundred
thousand head Of goats and sheep
Craze upon his land. 1t is said that
the choicest grass lands in Northern
Mexico are embraced in the Terrazas
estate. Streams of running water pass
through them and the grass grows
luxuriantly the greater part of the
year.
Some idea Of the vastness of these
landed possessions may be had when
1T is known that more than 10000
men are kept constantly looking after
the stock. The services of 1000 men
are required to ride the fences 1t
is the duty of these fence-riders to see
that the wires are kept intact, so that
the live stock cannot escape from the
pastures. Many thousand miles of
Wire were used in constructions the
boundary fences. More than a score

BILE size, are upon the ranches.

The Tariff Agreement With Germany.

The threatened tariff war with
Germany has been averted by an
agreement reached early last month.
The merchants OF Germany and the
United States will continue to trade
upon the minimum tariff basis. AS
we have already explained fully in
these pages, the terms of our recip-
rocity treaty with Germany concluded
under the Dingley tariff law expired
on the seventh of last month, and if
there had not been some special ar
rangement between the two countries
the maximum provision Of the new
German tariff would at that date have
been levied upon all imports from the
United States. On the first of next
month, also, the maximum provisions
OF the Payne-Aldrich tariff would
have been enforced against German
trade. Happily, however, for the
continuance of our immense business
with the German empire (amounting
In value to more than s4OO, 600, 900 in
the year 1909), bill ratifying the
agreement made by the German For
eign Office with our own State Depart
ment was passed by the Reichstag,
without change and without debate.
on February 5. Two days later Presi-
dent Taft issued proclamation an
nouncing that, beginning with the first
of next month, imports from Germany
are to be entitled to admission at the
minimum rate of duty. The main
point of commercial irritation be-
tween Germany and the United States
has always been in the meat business.
The very strict inspection and regula-
ton of American meats and cattle.
amounting at times almost to a pro-
hibition, are defended in Germany as
necessary for sanitary reasons. 1t is
generally believed, however, that
these regulations We're established and
are now kept in force chiefly through
the influence of the German agrarian
party. The Prussian "Junker," who,
is first of all an agriculturist, of course
desires to exclude all foreign food
products for the benefit of his own
holdings. In accordance with the
agreement just reached between the
two governments the question of these
regulations regarding cattle and meats
is set aside for separate treatment in
the future-Review OF Reviews.

Local Butcher Succunibs to the Trust.

Jim" Black and John Hackett
were rival butchers in the town of
Fort Dodge, Iowa, twenty years ago.
Each owned his own aba stoir on the
outskirts of the town. They bought
their cattle, hogs and sheep from the
farmers and stock-raisers of the out
lying agricultural districts. They
butchered for meat. When Mr.. Black
or Mr.. Hackett butchered a beef he
figured his profit on the steaks and
roasts, lard and tallow. tongue AMI

horns, hoofs, bones, castings, blood and
fertilizer were consigned to pile

ness of their hearts Mr.. Black and Mr..
Hackett gave away the liver to fisher

they did the same with rich soup

Railroad. simultaneously new meat
market appeared on Central Avenue.
The proprietor of the new meat mar
ket did not give away soup bones CT
liver. But he did cut prices on meat
that neither Hackett nor Black could
equal and live. Hackett and Black
were both astute men. They closed
out their meat markets, left the de-
serted slaughter-house as a source of
interest solely to little boys afraid of
spooks, and went out of the meat bus
iness. Whereupon the price of meat
in Fort Dodge began to soar again.
The instance marks the retreat of the
small butcher before the invasion OF
the great packer, who butchers not
only for meat but for by-product-

Perputuation OF the Coal Supply.

Until recently there has been little
thought OF economy in coal product
Ion or utilization. For every ton
mined another ton or more has been
wasted either In the shape of coal
dust or slack. or coal left in the
ground. Mining methods have,
however. improved, and the loss now
amounts to 40 per cent, as against
SO per cent. a short time ago. In
many mines as high as 75 per cent,
Of the coal Is recovered. Likewise
much higher efficiency is being Sc
cured In the utilization of the coal.
A single example will serve to show
the Possibilities in this line.
In extensive experiments made. by
the Technologic branch Of the United
States Geologicar Survey is has been
found that by first converting the
coal into gas and then using 1t In a
gas engine double and in some in
stances over three times the efficiency
can be secured that Is achieved under
the ordinary steam boiler. For in
dustrlal purposes, therefore, we at
one step practically double, IL not
treble. the coal area Of the country
Moreover, the sensational discovery
was made by the Survey test that
the low-grade Ignite Of the North
west and Texas, underlying an area
of some 100,000,000 acres, when
used In gas engines, developed more
power than the best Pocahontas coal
under ordinary steam methods. From
the lPocahontas coal the Geological
Survey steam plant produced .2S
horse power per pound, while the gas
producer generated .s8 horsepower
per pound. or 3.3a times the efficiency
for the gas-producer plant over the
steam plant. These Ignite Goals
have been looked upon as Of little IL
any commercial value; now the re-
gions where they are found are con-
sidered as possible great industrial
centres.-Review Of Reviews.
