SUMMER OF SHOWERS

There has been no general pre-
cipitation since early May or
April. The showers that have
fallen this summer in Kentucky
have been heavy rains, in some
places, in point of the amount OF
water per square inch. But they
have not been general rains, and
while one section of county or
one county has enjoyed a relief
from drouth, the adjoining sec
ton has remained dry.
What has been needed. and is
still needed, is a general rain OF
several days duration. The
deepest springs are showing the
effects of a long continued alb
sence of adequate water supply.
Farms which have an abundance
of good stock water-and green
pools in the rock long unfed by
surface water or springs are not
good stock water-are very much
the exception to the rule.
Next winter will be a hard one
on owners of stock. Feed will be
high and many farms that are
abundantly productive in ordi-
nary seasons will be short of
grain feed, hay and "roughage.'
In many places oats was so short
it had to be cut with mower be-
cause it could not be bound by a
binder, and where there was more
or less grain there was very little
straw. Corn has been cut short in
many counties, and the farmer
who has plenty of wheat with
which to feed his hogs is in luck
this year.
There is little compen sation for
farmers in the fact that live stock
prices are high enough to make it
profitable to sell "stocker" cattle
and stock hogs in the market
This year emphasizes the value
of dairying, poultry raising and
fruit growing as offsets of crop
shortage in short years. Oh
course dairy cattle and poultry
must be fed, but they return
constant proft.-State Journal.

FACTS THAT COUNT

NOitAiAhNhN " AAAN
There are perhaps 100000
people, of whom, while 5o,ooo,ooo
are Mohammedans, not over one
million are Christians. Every
tenth man in the United States is
black man. Every seventh man
in the world is a black man.
Surely he is the white mans
burden
Nearly one-half of the women
of the world belong TO the great
empires of China and India. The
women conserve the ancient re-
ligions and superstitions Of their
country; and what can a mar do
when the women of the house
hold are against him.
During the past generation the
native population Of South Africa
has doubled, but the native
Christian population has increas-
ed FIVE times.
Sixty years ago there was only
a handful of Christians in tho
Telugu country of India; now
there are more than 10000, and
the change has meant a wonder
full uplift to the people.
About a thousand children
from Moslem homes are attend
ing Protestant mission schools in
Persia-only one indication of
the tolerance of Mohammedans.
In Africa there are 500 mission
fields, of 10000 square miles
each, without single mission
airy. This vast region of $780,
900 square miles contains 10000
600 souls.
The Moslems are making Wig
orous efforts to win Africa. In
Cairo, Africa, is a Moslem stu
dent body numbering 10000,
hundreds of whom become mis-
sionaries.
| According to the Missionary
Review of the World, missionary
work has added another method
to its means of support. Mis-
sionary trees are established,
when profit goes entirely to mis-
sions. Three instances are given:
A Roxborough farmer has a gol-
den pippin apple tree which
helps to support the Chinese mis-
sions. \ Florida woman has an
orange tree which helps 10 up
lift the cannibals of New Guinea.
"A California nut farmer devotes
walnut tree to the spead OF
Christianity in Zanzibar.
Nineteen college men have
been presidents of the United
States, and sixteen of the nine
teen have been trained in Chris
tan colleges.
According to some figures by
DIR. J. L. Weber, of Memphis,
Tenn, given in an article re-
Gently appearing in the New
York Christian Advocate, the
Southern Methodist church has
gained in the last quadrennium
I68,4oo members, and 245,58o
J Sunday School scholars; it has
advanced to the sum of $oo7,7I4
for ministerial support, and
$4,000 for missions and church
extension: it has gained 7o7
houses of worship. and has an in
creae of $I5,47S7SI in the value
of parsonages and houses of wor-
! chin

HOME CLASSES IN
PRACTICAL FARMING

lilClC vi WChth~AA Ce%ss - -
home classes in agriculture or
domestic science and receive tic
textbooks, lectures, lantern
slides, labratory and cooking
equipment necessary to conduct
them has been devised by the
United States Department of
Agriculture in cooperation with
Agricultural colleges of certain
States.
The object of the plan is to
make accessible at home to men
and women who have not time or
means to attend the regular
courses at the colleges, practical
short courses in agriculture and
home management specially adj
apted to their districts. These
courses, which will consist of IS
to 20 lectures, and will consume
FIVE or more weeks, can be ar
ranged to suit the spare time and
convenience of each group of
people.
The courses to be offered at first
are poultry raising, fruit growing,
soils, cheese manufacturing,
dairying, butter making and farm
bookkeeping; and for the women
especially, courses in the prepar-
alton, cooking and use of vege-
tables and cereal foods. The De-
partment will supply lectures and
lantern slides covering these sub
Iiects. and the States which have
agreed to cooperate in the plan
will lend to each group labora-
tory and cooking apparatus val
Iued at $Ioo and reference
library. The textbooks and lee
lures will be made so complete
that each group can safely APP
point one of its members as study
Leader to direct the work of the
course.
When a group has decided to
take up the work, the State
which co-operates sends an agent
with the Dependencies repre-
sentative to organize a sample
class and assist the leader whom
they elect in laying out the work
and in showing him the best
methods of procedure. The class
es commonly are held from 800
to IL 100 in the morning and from
I 100 to 4 100 in the afternoon, two
or three days each week. The
sessions are held every day, SO
that the members will have time
L
to attend to their farm duties in
between the sessions, as well as
we'll as before and after the in
struction period. The classes
meet commonly at the most con
venient farmhouse. During the
morning hours, textbook work is
done. In the afternoon labratory
work is conducted, and the WON
en- who have elected to take tht
domestic science courses have
practical lessons in cooking.
AS soon as class is establish
ed, the State organizer with
draws to start class in some
other district. The work there
after is left in charge of the lead
er. who receives assistance by
mail from the college or the De
partment in carrying on the work
AS there is no regularly paiC
instructor, classes can be carried
on all over the State ar rapidly a
the college organizer can visit tn
groups, and as quickly as the lab
oratory sets supplied by the col
lege become available. The 10
cal leader will preside during tn
reading of the lectures and refer
ences, for which full textbook
an d lantern slides are supplied b!
the Department. He will also b.
responsible for the laborator,

pletes the course will receive

river early today when the liner En-
press of Ireland was rammed and
sank in a dense fog, according to
wireless admissions shortly before
noon by the Canadian Pacific authori-
ties here.
More than 1,4OO persons were
aboard the Empress of Ireland when
she was sunk by the Norwegian col
Ier Storstad. So far as can be def
niteIy asceTtained about 337 were res
cued by the Storstad and the Cana
dian government boats Eureka and
Lady Evelyn.
The latter rushed to the rescue
when a wireless &'save our ship"
cracked through the air to the Mar
conf wireless station at Father Point,
ten miles west of the scene of the
disaster
Night, fog and suddenness all lent
horror to the accident which came in
as startling a fashion as that other
disaster when the Titanic went down.
Screams of women and shouts of
men rang out through the night as
the Storstad, low-lying, heavy-ladens
solid, came out of the night murk and
smashed, head-on, into the Empress.
Confusion followed. ....l
Reused from sleep, the crash of
the meeting vessels, the passengers
Of the liner fiocked to the decks,
many clad only in their nightcloth-
ing and rush for the boats followed.
The crew Of the ship and most of
the male passengers aided to qUel
the tUmult and, though the big vessel
listed and sank in ten minutes, sew
eral Iifeboats we're got into the water.
Details of the scenes which came
as the efforts to save were made had
not been received here up to noon. 1t
was believed, however, that Captain
Kendall of the Empress was one of
the last to leave his ship.

Twenty of the saUed from the Empress are reported
to haze died from exposure The total Estof saUed
stands at 337.

He was reported to have been
picked up from wreckage after the
government ships arrived. ,..
Information gathered by wireless
from Father Point and from Rimou-.
ski says that when the Eureka and
Lady Evelyn arrived at the spot (.
where the Empress went down. they
gathered up a number Of survivors
from nine hfeboats.
These survivors were at once rush
ed to Rimousl1i, whence they will be
brought by special train this after
noon to Quebec.
With her bows stove in by Impact
with the Empress the Storstad passed
Father Point upriver, shortly after
daylight.
She had on board some survivors
and some dead, but a wireless from
her failed to say how many.
The Storstad was low by the head.
The tug Strathcona was sent to her
assistance. She viii arrive here to-
night or tomorrow. ~.
Not word of positive information
had been received here at noon as to
the rescued or their identity.
Whether women and. children
first" prevailed at the wreck is as
yet unknown.
Stories of individual experiences in
the disaster will not be told until the
survivors reach here and until a close
scrutiny is made of the ships passen-
ger list and it is compared with the
list of the survivors there will be no
way definitely to estimate how many
lives were lost.
