Intphysique and mentality the razor

thorns, brambles and rattlesnakes alike.

BUSS0RAH A FILTHY TOWN.
A Visit to the Apocryphal Home Of
Sindbad the Sailor.

A Visit to the ApocryphaI Home Of
Sindbad the Sailor.
We were on our way to Bussorah,
famous as the apocryphal home Of
Sindbad the Sailor. Bussorah is the
seaport of Bagdad. from which it IL
distant. about 500 miles by river.
Bussorah In the summer Is nothing
less than fiery furnace, for the Their
mometer registers more than 100 de-
grees r. in. the shade during. 12O con-
secutive days, and the mean tempera-
turey night and day, for upwards Of
four months, Is about 95 degrees.
Malarial feyers. dysentery and ague
are prevalent. and the town Is fire.
Quently visited by plague and cholera,
and yet, thanks to the cool winter and
prevailing. north winds, the place Is
not essentially unhealthy for those
who are acclimStized.
The habits and wants Of the popu-
lation are simple and -aEss hkely to- re-
main 80 Dor some time to. come. but
the sanitary state Of the town is de-
plorable. The creeks, which are tidal,
supply It with drinking water, but are
used unfortunately for all house
hold purposes, and the stencil arising
from them at. low water is overpow-
ering.
. The governor general Of the province
of Bussorah had his private residence
In the upper story OF flimsy lath and
plaster edifice overlooking the main
road. The walls Of his house could not
have been more than six inches thick.
and It was full Of windows. The
ground floor seemed to be a stable and
was occupied by goats.
As our carriage approached, churn-
ing up the mud which lay ankle deep
and humping over the hollows and OBJ
structions which had so far escaped
the attention Of a not too observant
municipality, we saw the governors
head appear at an upper window an,
that of q she goat at a lower one
simultaneously.
digHified bearing, greeted US gravely
and kindly. From his conversation he
appeared to be somewhat of q pedant,
imbued with the chauvinistic tenden-
cies Of the young Turk, and harden
ed bureaucrat.
His excellsncy's salutations as he
babe us farewell We're expressed with
becoming gravity: 1--WE trust that God
may be pleased to preserve your ex.
cellency's health. Our town is yours,
| as, well as our house. May we order
our, soldiers to accompany you on your
ride to Zobeir? Your person Is more
precious to us than our eyes. and there
are evil men. enemies OF our lord the
sultan, abroad In the desert."-Cham,
bers' Journal.

THE. PRODUCTION OF HOGS.

THE PRODUCTION OF HOGS.
To produce pork probably
hogs must feed and Craze con- -
tinuously on pastures and crops
particularly planted for them, Is
the advice of experts Of the Z
farmers cooperative branch or
the bureau Of plant industry,
department Of agriculture. Very
seldom is. the growing of hogs !
for slaughter a source OF profit
unless proper grazing and feed
ing methods are followed.
In the spring, summer and fan
there are many crops for pas
; turing hogs, but during the win
ter the crops to select from are
limited. On almost every farm
the production and keeping OF
! hogs In winter. Is expensive and
generally 1t is not, profitable, for
the reason that large quantities
of corn are fed without products
: Of green crops. More winter
grazing is needed, for which
many crops. are adapted. The
. most reliable are, however, rape,
rye, oats, wheat and barley.
For grazing purposes these
pasturing crops for hogs should
bel sown on specially well drain
ed and prepared land that, Is
either rich or has received a lib
eral application Of manure. Good
winter pasturage is not obtain
ed except. on the best drained
lands.
The seeding should be heavy
to- insure a thorough, planting.
J The young plants will grow
slowly In the winter and many
/ plants will be needed to furnish
plenty Of pasture. Crimson Glow
I ser, will do we'll with rape, rye,
oats, wheat and barley and will
mean an improvement on the
Hand.

BANKERS AID RURAL LIFE.
State and Federal Help Urged In Thi'
Direction.

State and Federal Help Urged In This
Direction.
Resolutions providing for changes In
the conditions of rural life In this
country, which it was stated would
decrease the burdens and increase the
opportunities of the farmer and his
family, were adopted at the third. an
nual meeting of the committee Of agri-
cultural development and education Of
the American Bankers association.
Vocational training In the public
schools, plans to make the marketing
of farm products easier and more
profitable and federal aid to make
farm demonstration work more gen
eral throughout the country were
among the things urged.
The resolutions in part follow:
"Our committee, being especially con-
cerned with agriculture and instruc-
ton in that line in the country schools,
realizes that it needs and must have
the largest measure of aid to the end
that the country boys and girls may
be placed on an equal footing with
those in town. Therefore we urge both
state and federal aid In this direction.
"As farm demonstration work
through local or country demonstrators
has proved to be the most practical
and effective means Of improving
framing methods and as the govern
ment has contributed thousands OF
dollars toward such work in certain
states and little or nothing In others,
we indorse and earnestly urge legis-
Iation on the part Of congress that will
provide generous federal aid in all
the states for, such work."
