AAl NTH the news of the Mikado's

case was diagnosed as acute nephritis.
Crown Prince Yoshihito. who now
comes to the throne, was the only one

was unable from the first to be near
TO his father. He was just recovering
from severe illness and his doctors
told him it would be unwise for him
to leave his bed. He received bull

and by messenger. Later he was able
to be at the palace in person and was
at the bedside when the mikado passed

The streets of Toxic continued
thronged from the moment that the

semi-sacred parsonage in Japan and
though the old belief that he is some
thing more than human is gradually
disappearing, the older Japanese still
adhere to it, and it has much hold
even on the younger generation. =
The occasion had thus spirit OF
solemnity such as would be impossible
in a western country during the last
hours OF a sovereign, however, much
beloved. Voices were hushed, street
sounds silenced, tears were shed and
general atmosphere Of sadness and
tragedy filled the ordinarily cheerful,
busting city. When the bulletin was
finally posted informing them that
their monarch was no more, the watch
ers turned signing away, and, on their
queerly click-clacking clogs, clamored

and succeeded to the throne on the
death of his father, Feb. 8, 1867. On
Feb. 8, 1869, he married the Princess
Haruko of the house of Ichijo.

OF thorough cultivation throughout
the season, and was not only success

succeeded in leaving his soil in such

moisture content, that in 1911 he har-

bors, on land handled in the ordinary
way, We're getting yields of from 20
bushels down to nothing.
1t will be remembered that in 1911
southwestern Minnesota suffered yerv
severely from drought. The thorough
tlllage necessary in 1910, to kill out
the quack grass, must have been so
effective in conserving the moisture,
as to enable Mr.. Anderson's plot of
ground, in spite of the drought in
1911, to produce this very satisfactory
yield of oats from moisture stored in
it.
This example would seem to be an
illustration of what Minnesota holds
in store for any tiller of the soil who
will practice thorough methods of
tilling; and it certainly illustrates the
fact that the dry land methods of
agriculture are not entirely out of
place in Minnesota. In fact, it is
quite certain that here, where we
have normally sufficient rainfall.
hmm ensely better results can be ex-
pected than in the semi-arid districts
where this method of culture is prac-
ticed.
