the chaplain offered prayer, He waited for the re-

perceived the jaicrs boots outside toward which the

At a time when Death Valley was
as little known to the prospector as 1t
still is to the public there was man
named Bennett who was Of q party Of
immigrants. making their way west
ward through that region. He had
struggled In advance Of his COM
panions. and being almost famished
for water he found what is known as
"Bennett's Hole" this being on tho
western bars Of Death Valley. Ben.

the foothills Of the Pannmint noun.

Here he found a spring Of good water
and camped. as best he could. to re-

but was attracted by the metallic
quality Of groupings that were in
great quantity about the spring and
protruded In a mammoth ledge near
by.
When Bennett. after great hard.
ships and wandering. finally made
his way out to settlements In the far

Lord Rosebery, Phrasemaker.

Lord Rosebery. master phrasemak.
er. has credit for phrase which he
never originated. When he addressed
the editors OF the empire at the White
City In June s. 1900. he was reported
In many newspapers to have said that
Europe was "rattling into barbarism." :"
A capital phrase. The word "rattling"
suggests bayonets. guns. and military
accoutrements: "barbarism'' stands
for the mad competition in armaments.
What Lord Rosebery said was that
Europe was "rclapsing into barbar.
ism." which is equally true but less
picturesque. In the official report Of
the Imperial Press Conference. how.
ever. the phrase used Is "relapsing in.
to militarism." which Is obviously in.
correct. as there was never SO much
militarism in the history Of Europe, as
there is at the present time. While
Lord Rosebery said "relapsing into
barbarism," "rattling" has got such
a start in the popular press that we
fear he will never be able to get rid

DRY FARM STOCK FATTENING
Monotony and Observation-Disclosures Re-
moved by DlversIty-Animais Are
Essential Factor.

So far the live stock fattening
problem has been discussed only
from the viewpoint Of the dry farms
needs. but the question has also an
other side. Not only does the dry
farm need live stock. but the products
OF dry farms are needed for live stock
fattening. Many dry farming sections
are In close proximity to great ranch
ing districts. which raise stock but
cannot produce forage to finish 1t for
market.
In the past 1t has been often neces.
sary to transport range cattle great
distances to feeding districts. II the
dry farms In the vicinity OF these
ranches could supply the necessary
products. it would simplify consider
ably the problem of preparing for
market. This need Of the products OF
the dry farm is especially true. since
an Increasing proportion OF the
words production OF grain will be
necessary for human consumption.
Dry farms can be made more stable
financially and more certain Of per-
manence by the use Of stock. and tho
"No ''o'h 'uteChihb ptootCAA SoA w.
simplified by dry farms. Let US now
inquire into the effect OF this combi-
nation on those who are to live on
these farms. The average dry farm
OF the past has not been the most In
viting place In the world to live.
Meager accommodations both for man
and beast have been the rule.
Under these conditions. life Is
bound to have much of monotony and
but little of the diversity and attract
iveness which farm home should
have. No great things can be expect.

the dry farm Is to be desirable
place OF residence. 1t must have intro
duced in It's life all the diversity pos
sible. This diversity cannot we'll be
had without live stock OF some kind.
Keeping In mind these various con-
sidera'ions. 1t becomes evident that
the successful dry farm of the future
will be one In which the live stock
interests will be combined with crop
production: and 1t seems probable
that finishing for market will be one
OF the phases Of the live stock indus
try which will be most benefited by
the dry farm and from which the dry
farm will profit most
