af ground farmed than has ever been
raised before ii people are to have as
much TO eat and wear as they have
had in the past. This Is due to the
fact that the population Of the United
States is rapidly growing and new
farms of great yielding value are be-
coming very scarce. This point is ex-
emplified by the fact that last year
larger crops were raised than ever be-
fore, and with the exception of very
few years in history, prices rule high
er than ever before.
Intensified Farming.
All this points to one general fact,
namely, that the farms Of the west
must be worked more intensely, and
perhaps instead of one or two crops
being raised, more attention must be
given to diversified farming. 1t is
very necessary that the great fertility
now present in the soil must be re-
tanned at least, and If there is a pos
sible way of increasing the fertility
of our farms. attention must be given
to this point Rotation Of crops is USE
full in holding fertility, but it is ex-
tremely doubtful whether this method
alone will suffice to keep the farms in
a proflt-producing condition; for the
fact Is very evident that whenever a
bushel OF corn, wheat, oats or potatoes
or a ton of hay is taken away from
the farm, all the fertility which Is con-
tained In them goes along and is thus
transferred from the farm on which
the crop was raised to some other
farm or wasted
There was a time when farms In the
New England states were fertile and
productive and their owners boasted
of the fact that the soil was rich and
deep and could never be exhausted.
From year to year large crops were
raised, large portion Of which was
sent across the water to Europe, and
gradually the farms of Europe became
better and more productive, but this
was at the expense Of the farms in the
New England states, for, as matter

How to String Beads,

In stringing any precious beads,

needle. Simply wax The end of the
silk ard pass 1t through the hole.
The knotting is also an important
point. 1t must be large enough to
hold the bead, but not large enough to
show. Pearl stringers use an intri-
cate knot Of their own, and that is
why 1t is, on the whole, better to have
very expensive jewels strung by a
professional. When there is a col.
larette or something of the sort to
be made, this is absolutely necessary.

PLAYING the Fiddle.

Mgr. James P. Turner. chancellor oi

with the late Archbishop Ryan which
enables him to decide to do something
without leaving a sting
Like his late chief he usually tells
story and then escapes committing
himself. Since the balloting for o
successor to Archbishop Ryan he has
been importuned, cajoled and other
wise held up for a word that would
give an idea as to what was the re-
suit Of the balloting. AS he Is sworn
to secrecy he must keep quiet.
To group of newspaper men he
said:
Once there was an assistant to q
man who held responsible position.
This assistant took upon himself much
of the credit for his employers popu.
larity. One day he complained by
saying: I'm tired OF playing second

on succeeding to his estates that the
house contained two portraits of a dis
tinguished member of the family who
had fourished during the reign of
George III. one by Reynolds and the
other by Raeburn. He knew no more
of pictures than a Newfoundland dog.
and he decided that two portraits Of
the same individual need not be kept.
The Reynolds was retained. while the
Raeburn was presented to a public
gallery. The worthy man was struck
with CONSERVATION some time afterward
when he found that his gift had been
valued at $4,000 and probably the
picture would now fetch double that

persons were engaged several miles OF
the short of Lavensari Island, when, Feb

the ice foe and ice breakers were sent
in pursuit.
!, A three-day search proved futile. In

persons. In the breakup many fell into
the water, and perished. Two parties,
totaling 100 persons, were subsequently
driven ashore. No news of the remainder
