WON RICHES FROM THE LAND
Story of an Immigrant Family That
Went Farming Forty-six
Years Ago.

John Austin and his wife, Emma,
46 years ago came to this country
from England with their four sons and
settled on a 160-acre farm In the
Rocky mountains Austin had been
mill worker and he and his wife
scarcely had money enough to come
to this country and take up the 160
acres which the government at that
time was willing to give any settler
OF the subsequent success OF this fam
i)y Doctor Winship writes In Farm and
Fireside as follows:
"Once established and the market
gardening scheme on its feet John d.
vided the 100 acres in halves, kept
so acres and gave each OF the boys
20 acres. They all worked the whole
of it, but kept the expenses and in
come from each lot distinct.
Il know Mark Austin well; he Is
one of the eminently prosperous men
in Idaho. He furnishes sugar beets
for eight Of the large factories along
line of 400 miles of railway, raising
many of the beets and contracting for
the rest. He is a prince among the
business men Of Idaho.
"The other three boys, Thomas, Will
liam and John, are cattle kings in
Colorado, Wyoming and Utah; each is
at the head of live stock company,
two in the sheep business-one had
$4,000 head when I saw him in 1913.
One is president of the Wool Growers
association of the intermountain re-
gion.
THE business interests Of those
four mighty men are interlinked,
though financially distinct. They run
their vast business schemes as they
did their 20 acres each, when they
ran the so acres as though it were
one market garden, but they knew the
profit of each 20 acres, and divided it.
They still keep those eighty acres to-
gether and apart. Each of those four
men has n family, and each has done
by his sons what the father did for
him"

WURKING A CIRCULAR FIELD
Flow That, Once Started, Will Do the
Work Without Anyone at
Steering Gear.

One Of the latest innovations In
farming implements ia gasoline
driven vehicle that guides itself
around the field and needs no atten-
ton except to be started and stopped
at the right points.
This vehicle, which travels In a con-
Btantly narrowing circle, Is 30 de-
signed that any of the devices used
n row crop farming, such as plows,
ridgers, cultivators or sprayers, may
be readily attached to 1t, but In order
to use the implement, 1t Is necessary
to abandon the usual rectangular form
Of field with straight rows and adopt
circular field with circular rows
spiraling toward the center.
The method is not adapted to big
farms, but Is intended for truck gar
dening and for farming on q small
scale where the expense Of employing
nm operator for the machine would be
prohibitive.
At the center of the field al iron
post is erected and strongly guyed. AT
the top of the post is q drum. and

Roman Empuror's Birthplace.

Nish, which is just now the seat OF
the Servian king, has previously had
a place in history. 1t was there that
Constantine the Great, the founder of
Constantinople and the protector Of
Christians, was born some sixteen CEN
turtles ago, and there it was, also,
about hundred years later, that Val
entinian / divided the Roman empire
with his brother, Valens. Nish was
then called Naissus, and it was the
capital of one part of the province of
Mesia, which is now made up Servia
and Bulgaria.

American Woman-that of colonel of a

They make excellent nlrierS, and some
of them do quite as we'll as men OF
the same class in the states. They
work in eight-hour shifts, with two
shifts a day. The shifts are so ar
ranged that the second stops at O'Clock
in the morning. SO that all of the men
can sleep a part of the night.
Everything is managed after the most
improved mines Of the states and this
same plan is preserved in al the opera
tons of the worh. About $50 samples of
ore are assayed every day, and the min
ers know exactly what they are doing.
They have a curious way OF determining.
without a scientific assay, as to whether
the ore is valuable or not. This is by
means of a tallow candle. They light the
candle and by busting it with the ore the
copper in it gives forth q green flame, the
color of which shows just about the per
centage of metal the ore contains. AS l

the outlook is that they will be MIN

The story of Cerro de Pasco dates back
10 lt;,o. At that time an India who vas
watching his llanas and sheep had to
stav here over night. He built a fire on
the stones to keep warm and when ne
awoke in the morning he found the rocks
spscked with glOtuies of silver which the
fire had boiled out. This sto-y went forth
and as a result something like ,hp.tpoGuo

il is taken out in the form of powder
Th= first working was done by the Span
iartls. who used Indian slaves and logged
them to keep them at labor Later on
the mines fell into the hands Of Indian
Cholos, and when silver was high they
were owned by capitalists who paid the
miners something like 40 cents day for

the petty copper propositions are worked
by Indians. Outside the American hold
irgs there are many small mines: and
the town of 10000 is so peppered with
holes that one would hardly dare to go
about alone after dark. The native min
ers do their work in the old-fashioned
way They dig out the best ore with
picks and carry it up ladders in raWhide
sacks on their backs. ! saw many plies
of such ore as I rode through the city.
An Indian will carry from sixty TO eighty
pounds at q load and they are now bring
ing the ore out upon ladders from depth
of 800 feet.
The ore taken out by the Indians is
now largely copper. although most of il
carries more or less silver. The real
value OF the mines is now in the copper,
the ore containing more and more copper
as the mining goes down. The silver
which near the surface often assayed
100 ounces to the ton. has gradually
fallen IN quality until IT Is now less than
ten. All of the ore. however has more
or less gold and silver in it and the
American company finds that the costs of
the mining are paid by the precious
metals, the copper being almost pure
profit. The copper is far richer than
that in the mines OF the United States
from which our great supplies come.
1t was the great copper value that
attracted the attention of American cap
italists to CerrO de Pasco and today a
syndicate composed of some of our rich
est men have bought the mines here and
they are operating them on scale such
as exists nowhere else on this continent
