kindled.
THRONG SEES BLAZE.
II was estimated that 10000 people
thronged the levee to take in the big
doings.' The bonfire consisted of
about so large dry goods boxes piled
up in a heap and saturated with oil.

Utes the heat was so intense that the

The Mad MuIIah.

For good while at a time every
thing will be tranquil in Somaliland.
Cattle are plenty, the tribes are at
peace, the mealie crop looks promising.
About the time prosperity begins to
grow monotonous the Mad Mullah
energies and Somaliland is as if hit by
cyclone.
The Mad Mullah is prophet Of un-
rest. Fakirs of his type, who can
rouse whole people TO frenzy, are
| by no means confined to the dark con-
| tinent. Cast or west it only requires
some born troubler of the waters to
whip things into seething turmoil,
for politicians of the Mullah's persua-
sion own the trouble making capacity
in its acutest form. Familiar with
politics from his youth up, the Mullah
can now beat the bosses at their own
game. A carefully cultivated reputa-
tion for righteousness is an asset, so is
magnetic manner. Supreme self
confidence anG whoop and hurrah
campaign does the rest.
Pulled up by inordinate pride the
Mulah has given himself forth as the
supreme source of authority, transcend
ing all party lines, superseding all
platforms, claiming leadership due the
prophet of new political dispensation.
AS such he has proceeded to revise the
Koran, to bring the ten command
ments up to date, and to plan out an
improved constitution for Somaliland.
A Somal packer and the head OF the
hay rake trust have united to finance
his campaign. Not content with per-
suasion the Mullah, following the ex-
ample of Mahomet, has been threaten
ing with extinction all who do not
receive his propaganda, and warning
re-calcitrants that now is the accepted
time to get on the band-wagon. So
maitland is in the throes of terrific
upheaval.
Gifted with fervid eloquence and the
power of calling forth an enthusiastic
following, the Mad Mulah has never
had a rival in his ability to keep things
in a ferment. His political pot is al
ways at the boil. Even in times of
complete peace the subconscious self
dormant in every man keeps it's ear
pricked up, ready for trouble. That is
what the Mullah trades upon. Wheth-
er they are African Fuzzy Wuzzies or
American Progressives, they thrill TO
the call of the agitator as the warhorse
at the sound of the trumpet, and off
they go, headlong, needless of sense,
judgment, honor and loyalty, mindful
only Of the Mad Mullah and of the ex-
citement to be had in hearing his mad
dening, enkindling, melting voice.

THURSDAY JUNE 6, 1912.

In many respects agriculture is more
of a science in Europe than in this
country. A writer in Farm and Fire
side SAYS the farmers of Europe do not
talk of wornout land as we do in the
United States. They give more at
tention to the soil and they get better
results. The same writer goes on to
say:
"The American farmer has swept
across the continent, leaving abandon
ed farms and wornout fields in his
wake, until now we have come to the
point where all our arabic land has
been occupied, and we can no longer
wear it out and abandon IL. We must
not only maintain ourselves on the
land we have, we must maintain po-
pulation that will soon be double and
treble what it now is.
"Where should we look for informa-
tion il not to the countries of an equal
degree of civilization that are much
older than our own and have a much
greater population in proportion to
their area? Here in Europe are farm
lands that have been in cultivation for
thousand years and are producing
larger crops than our fertile virgin
soils, and no one ever thinks of these
farms wearing out. On the other hand,
they become more valuable and more
productive year by year. 1t is no.
table fact that has been repeated over
and over to the American farmer, that
the average production per acre of the
European countries, particularly Eng
land, France and Germany, is over
twice the average production of the
same crops in the United States.
Wherein lies the difference? 1t is not
because European lands are naturally
more fertile than American but be-
cause they are farmed more intensive
ly. The land is better prepared for
the seed, plowed deeper, worked more
before seeding, and as far as possible
the lands that are TO be planted in the
spring are plowed in the fall and al
lowed TO weather during the winter, a
system that deserves to be greatly ex-
tended on American farms, especially
in our corn-lands"
When the population of the United
States was sparse farming land was
plentiful. When the soil ceased to be
productive the farmer abandoned his
old fields and sought new ones. 1t is
not so easy nowadays to do that sort
of thing and in all parts of the country
efforts are being made to rebuild these
abandoned farms and make them pro.
ductive again. In addition deserts and
swamp lands are being reclaimed and
farmers are farming in localities that
would have been regarded as impossi-
BILE and Improbable twenty-five years
ago
1t is simpler and more sensible
plan 10 conserve and preserve pro-
ductive farm than to work it to death
and then undertake the task of re-
building it. In this respect at least
Americans can afford 10 take lessons
from the European farmers.
