FARMING BY
GERMAN ARMY
Soldiers are Being Taught Prac-
teal and Theoretical
Agriculture
SCHEME PROVES A SUCCESS
Many Of the Men When They Finish
Military Service Take Up
Government Land.
SCHEME PROVES A SUCCESS

Berlin, Aug. 26.-Far- reaching ex-
man army in teaching the soldiers both
practical and theoretical farming dur
ing their service i'm the ranks. Many
of the soldiers. even those from the
cities. become so interested that when
they have finished their term they take
advantage of law passed some years
ago, by which they are enabled To pur-
chase small plots of land by the pay
ment in ready money of quarter of
it's value. In this way il is hoped to
stem the rush of people from the agri-
cultural districts to the cities. which
has caused so much anxiety to the au-
thorities Of recent years.
The Prussian state itself sells much
of its reclaimed moor lands In this
manner in plots ranging from half an
acre to twenty-five acres. II charges
interest at the rate of only 31k per
cent on quarters of the purchase
money, and also advances money for
the erection of houses and barns. The
tenant may pay off as much as he likes
every year and after certain number
Of years the property becomes his own.
In some instances larger plots of land
are acquired from private owners by
the State and laid out In contiguous
small farms, which are sold in a similar
manner tp farm laborers. These. by a
System OF cooperative working, are
enabled to cultivate their land at n
much cheaper rate than If they were
working alone. The idea Of the gradual
purchase system is spreading rapidly
through the Governments efforts, and
many rural districts. hitherto sparsely
populated and poorly cultivated. are
becoming thriving agricultural centers.
The Government has appointed $50
commissioners tu assist in the purchase
of real estate by ex-soldiers and thrift
ty workers.

THE cALABAsH PIPE.
Its Bowl Made from a South African
Gourd-Not a Cheap Pipe.

Sourd-Not Cheap Pipe.
The curious calabash pipes which
within the last three years have come
into increasing favor here are made
of gourd imported from South Afri-
ca. This gourd has n round body or
10 inches i'm length and about inch
es in diameter midway of it's length.
tapering down toward either end. At
its stem end, by which it is attached
in growing, it has n slender little
crook.
The caiabash pipe is made from the
stem end of the gourd. The crook
forms part of the pipestem and the
sawed off end of the tapering body Of
the gourd the faring pipe bowl. Sz
able as this pipe bowl is, it is yet ex-
tremely light.
The calabash pipe is lined with clay.
with asbestos. with imitation meer-
schaum and with meerschaum; II Is
mounted with hard rubber and with
amber mouthpieces. these joined to
the stem part of the pipe bowl with
rings of bone or ivory or bands Of
silver Sometimes the top of the bowl
is mounted with silver rim. Com
monty, calabash pipes are mounted
with a fixed mouthpiece but there is
a calabash equipped with mouth
piece of ordinary length for ordinary
smoking, while there is also provided
goosequlll stem section Of or s
inches long which can be inset be-
tween the mouthpiece of the bowl for
comfortable smoking at nome.
A calabash pipe will color through
it's lining and through the body or
the gourd to it's outer surface like

The calabash pipe is rather costly.

It was found that the trout i'm the

TOWNSHIPS PROJECT.

A great international conference on
the subject of improving the st. Law
renee river for the passage of the larg-
est ships between the great lakes and
the ocean has been proposed TO Sena-
tor Townsend OF Michigan by some OF
the public spirited citizens of Canada.
with equally enthusiastic assurances
from President Taft and from sundry
citizens of the United states Townsend
returns home from the extra session OF
congress well pleased with the pro-
gress the st. Lawrence river project is
making.
What gives me more satisfaction
than anything else" said the senator
in discussing the proposition for an in
ternatlonal conference, us that so
many people have grasped the one
dominating point about this enterprise.
And that is that the power TO be de-
veloped will pay the bill. That is the
one thing which brings hope that open
ing Of the great lakes to the sea may
not be so far i'm the future as other
wise would have 10 be the case. II
the work had to be paid for out Of the
revenues Of the governments of Can
ada and the United States those gov
crnmcnts might well hesitate
but the letters am receiving from
leading men in both countries show
that everybody who has given it any
thought has perceived the fact that
here we have something which in com
mercial Importance may be said to
overshadow the Panama canal and yet
which contains within itself the ele-
ments TO pay the bill.

tional conference came from proml-
nent engineer Of Canada. lie is at the
head OF large works producing a COM
modify calling for heavy freight bills
lie happened to see a copy of one of
my speeches and Immediately opened
correspondence with me. Since then
he has talked with many people and he
now assures me that with a conference
as starter he has not the slightest
doubt that an overwhelming public
sentiment will be produced the moment
his country at large comes TO under
stand and appreciate what 1t is we are
trying to accomp' sh.
'This man, like many others from
whom / have heard, has had so much
experience with questions relating to
shipping and freight rates that in an
instant he grasped the large signih-
canoe attached To making sea ports Of
all the cities un the great lakes.
President Taft has talked with me
about the question OF calling n confer
ence and have no doubt that II he dis
covers no better way OF reaching the
matter he will call the international
conference himself or at least suggest
TO the government OF Canada that II be
called by the two jointly"
