He glared at me with some sus-
picion.
"'Well, have it your own way, my
dear fellow; though you are the last
man l should have expected to come
to Cairo as matter of pleasure. The
hotels here are vile, and the cookery
amounts to a deliberate crusade
against the lives of the Giaours. OF
course you will dine with me tonight?'
"'Certainly,' answered, summoning
up a show of cordiality. AS soon as

He rang the bell violently, and gave
some whispered instructions to his
man, who nodded with an air of intelli-
gence, and went out. At the end Of
an hour. when we were slipping our
coffee in the smoking room, he re-
turned. and gave look at his master,
which appeared to announce the sue
cess of his mission.
Now, cried the colonel, springing
to his feet, come along. and you shall

Il followed him out, and We pro-

novel to me than he supposed, to a

Thus dismissed, returned to my
hotel. But was not satisfied with
the result Of this interview. The
khedive had shown far less eagerpess
in the matter than had been justified
in expecting, from the notorious state
of his exchequer, and perceived that
it would be necessary to take some de-
cisive step in order to force his con-
sent.
my previous experience had taught
me that every difficulty which one en-
counters in the countries of the east
resolves itself into a question of back

applied.

great influence was welded over Ismail
Pasha by a beautiful odalisque in his

who turned out to possess a mania for
the jewelry Of the palais royal. The
negotiation was attended with some
risk, on account Of the rigorous pre-
cautions which are observed in guard
ing the access to the apartments Of
the women Of the East.
II had no reason to complain of the
good faith Of this charming creature.

.HAYDENS'S SPEECH WAS GEM OF
 ORAT0RY
Vivid Contrast Between Past and l Present Drawn by Arizona's Favor
 ite Son.

At the Million Acre Feet celebra- tion at the Tonto dam. held at Pres colt this week, Congressman Hayden said in part:
 From my home in the Salt River valley one can see the Four Peaks and the Superstition mountain, stand ing like sentinels on the eastern sky line.
 As a child, when the Apaches were on the warpath, have often seen their signal fires burning at night on the crests of these great landmarks. TEe magnificent prospect of hills and mountains that surrounds us, whose and peaceful sunlight, was then land of terror and cruel savagery- The American who came here took his fife in his hands. Men that Insw entered these mountains to re- turn no more.
 But terror has yielded to beneh- cence. The army of the United States has subdued the Indians and they have been taught to follow the paths of peace. The sons of some of the very warriors who made these mountains the scene of fiendish tor ture and lingering death'were among the most trusted laborers on this project. As the soldiers of the m1l1- tary service conquered the Indians, so engineers of the reclamation service have mastered the forces of natule in this old Apache stronghold. They have created rivers of water in dry place; they have raised the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
 This dam is unlike the ordinary government work in that it's cost must be returned to the United States by those who are directly benefited by it's construction. The reason for this fin plain; because the reclamation fund is limited in amount and the money spent here must again be made avail able for use in other places, if the development of the agricultural possl- biIities of the west is to continue.
 I sincerely trust tkat the water users and the Salt River project will

 that is justly due the government, be- lcause other men in other arid val Ileys are entitled to make homes in what are now waste places, in order that they and their children after them may enjoy the comforts and blessings of civilization
 The original reclamation act pro vided for the return of the money in ten years, but owing to the increased cost of the works of this and all other reclamation projects, it becomes evi dent that the water users could not meet their obligations in so short time.
 Fortunately we had secretary of the interior who came from the west and a president who Is in sympathy with our hope for relief, so that with their assistance bill was passed in the last congress extending the period of repaying the cost of reclamation projects from ten to twenty years. without interest. The terms of this act are so liberal that no payment will exceed per cent on the total cost of the project in any one year. In practical effect the water user pays nothing on the principal of his debt to the government but cancels his ob ligations by paying simple interest for twenty years.
 This occasion demonstrates the per lection of monumental work, born of necessity, executed with skill, for the benefit of people who know how to make the most of it. Each has done and will continue to do his part to make the Salt River project one of the most successful ever under taken by any, government in the world.
 Before me I see the hood of an automobile decorated with flowers like a coffin I know who lies here. It is despair that the people of the Salt River valley are this day burying forever. With this rose which I pluck from the pail of despair dedi- cate these impounded waters that they may flow for all time down the canyons of the river to bless the lands that lie below.

CATTLE MARKET BOOMING

Kansas City Stock Yards, April 26,
 1915. The extraordinary advance on
 stockers and feeders last week held
 good today, in spite of predictions
 that a break might be expected, due to large receipts, and balk on the
 part of country buyers on paying the high prices Total cattle receipts
 were 11,OO0 Fead today. consisting of
 large proportion of thin grades,
 VI ith good many light killing steers, and few heavy weights. This distri-
 button was in line with market re- quirements. the heavy steers selling slowly at barely steady prices, while light steers sold readily at stronger prices in some cases. Butcher grades were firm, and stockers and feeders went through the session kicking up their heels. Choice native yearlings there were no prime heavy steers here. Some big natives sold last week at ss.35. Choice heavy cows bring around $7, sometimes $7.5O, and odd heifers up to $s 50. Color ado sugar mill offerings included some well finished steers at $500, weighing 1160 1hs., top price for this class this year. Heavier steers sold at $7.75 to $7.95, in some cases steady with week ago, others 10 to 15 higher. Oklahoma and Panhandle killers sold at ST 40 to $7S0, 10 to 15 cents above a week ago. Some Texas feeders brought $7. 60, as con- pared with a bid of ST for them in Ft. Worth on the way, and some choice White EFace heifer calves, 504 lbs. average sold to go to the country at $7.75 to $7.9O, also bid a much lower price at Ft. Worth. A big drove of heifers from Texhoma sold to killers at ss .25, 639 lbs. average. Quarantine receipts consisted of 8 cars of steers from San Angelo, 1907 lbs. average, at $7 .35, strong price. The general cattle market is advanc- ing regularly, and is lined up about like it was Q week ago, light steers selling best to killers, heavy steers slow, stockers and feeders booming.

July % this series was disked I'D
for fall seeding TO grass. The series
we're seeded TO tall meadow oat grass
on August ~. The seed was sent
TO the field before testing but
sample was retained and tested
which showed only 2s per cent GER
mination. This seeding gave a very
poor stand. The series was re-
seeded September p with fourteen
pounds Of tall meadow oat grass and
fourteen pounds of orchard grass.
AT present the plots which have
lime and the phosphate look very
well but the other plots have very
little grass on them.
Conclusion: II does not require n
very close observation of the work
as indicated above for one TO see
that the need OF this soil is phos-
phorus and lime plus all the manure,
both barnyard and green, that can
be had. OF course there are other
needs, but these are essentials. A
cover crop for the winter is very
essential to all soils. The three
most important plant elements are:
nitrogen, phosphorus and potash.
They are readily lost by denitriflca-
ton, teaching, washing, erosion and
removal OF stalks. II winter
cover crop is on the soil these ele-
ments as they become available, will
be used up, and in the spring when
the cover crop, such as rye and
barley, is turned under, they are
put back into the soil in the form
of green manure, instead OF being
lost. They. then are quickly avail
able for the crop which is to fol.
low and also help to increase the
water-holding capacity Of the soil.
We as farmers should watch this
experiment for the next seven years,
for here we can learn all the prin-
ciples Of producing good crops on
poor soil at the least possible cost.

THE FARMER AS OTHERS SEE HIM

The Department Of Agriculture at
Washington, after having investigat-
ed the income Of farmers, says: The
average farmer receives little more
money for his years work than he
would be paid IL he had hired out
as a farm hand" The department
does not take account OF the fact
that the farmer gets most OF his
living thrown in. He raises much
that he uses that cost people in other
callings large amount. The auto
mobile men, who are good judges
Of solvency, say the farmers are the
most prosperous class in the coun-
try. They say that OF the 100000
automobiles in the United States,
costing ~ -sn0,000.O0o. one half OF
them are owned by the farmers. Men
and women on the farm have to
work hard, but physical, educational
and social advantages have so i'm
proved that their life is healthy,
happy, useful and prosperous.-The

THE SPLIT LOG DRAG

The split log drag has contributed
more toward the economic mainten-
ance Of public highways than any
implement OF modern usage. II does
not require special acts OF the leg
islature. bond issues nor expensive
educational campaigns to make il
available as usually precedes con-
struction work. A drag can be built
or purchased for twenty dollars and
is easily operated by any one who
can drive a team. We need more

was seeded in the corn at the rate
of 20 pounds per acre and covered
with a ii-tooth cultivator. The
weather was so dry that only a
small amount OF the clover seed
came up and died.
After the corn was cut the ground

The corn when husked and weigh

plots having no treatment have prac-
tically no rye.

This series was seeded with a mix
ture Of red, alsike and sweet clover
on February 81, at the rate OF IL
pounds per acre. The dry weather
of May and early June entirely de-
stroyed the clover. The series was
plowed June 10, put in good condi-
ton and seeded TO cowpeas, which
were drilled June II, at the rate
of t-2 bushels per acre. The
growth was limited by the dry
weather. The peas should have been
plowed under, but we're removed

with laborer. September % this plot
was seeded to rye for a cover crop.

The clover made very poor growth,
due probably TO the cold, wet con-
dition Of the soil. The dry weather
of June and July killed practically
all the clover except on the lined
plots where there was a fair stand,
