are right. People on terms of ten

Horse racing is a far more arduous
pastime in Mongolia than in England,
says London Chronicle. When G. w.
Campbell travelled through that coun-
try in 1902 he had the opportunity
Of inspecting the racing stud OF
Tsetsen Khan, the most renowned in
Mongolia. Racing is the national pas
time, and a racing stud of dimensions
commensurate with rank and wealth
is tho proper appanage OF a prince.
The races are never under ten miles
long, and the derby of Mongolia is a
contest over 8. miles of rough steppe.
At a race meeting l attended In the
Chabar country the competing ponies
we're mostly owned by Lamas. The
races which take place every year
at Urga are held under the direct
patronage OF the Lama Pope OF Mon
golia, who becomes the owner of all
the winners. A horse rae with a
bishop in the judges box and a pub
lie chiefly clerical is certainly a phe'
nomenon.

The average yield Of wheat in the
United States is about thirteen bush
els per acre. The average yield in
Germany is twenty,six bushels, and in
ENGLAND thirty-two. Does this argue
that the soil and climate of Europe are
better adapted to wheat growing than
those Of the United States? Not at
all. 1t proves only that careful farm
ing on the other side OF the water will
produce better results than careless
farming here, says Chicago Journal.
American c%ultivators who put their
minds to It have no trouble in break
ing the European record. One farm
er in Illinois has averaged 4S.S bush
els of wheat per acre each year for
three years. He tributes his sue.
cess to careful seed selection, as well
as to good handling OF the land. Two
professors in this state have raised
So bushels of wheat per acre on soil
