CHINESE NOW JOYRIDE:
MOTORCARS REPLACE KICKS

Feking, Feb. S.-The notorcar has
at last come to Picking: taking the
place with Chinese officials of the old
Picking Cart. Only a few poorer Man
chu families now ride in the cart
without which no Government offfciaI
of the late regime dared to be. Pic
turesqueness has gone, for the modern
motorcar does not permit the retinue
of robed outriders on little Iong-nan-
ed MongoI ponies. Only the presi-
dents motorcar lis now escorted . by
mounted men, and they wear modern
military uniforms. The escorts Of
other officials ride on the fotbeards of
the motorcars. Z On the occasion Of
the recent visit Of prominent gem
eral to Peking these escorts carried
revo1vers in their hands.

China a Monarchy Again
(Boston Transcript


The Chinese republic died over the
weekend Yuan Shih-Kai is now EN-
peror of China; the little unbelievable
episode of "iberty, equality and fra
ternity'' in the most ancient kingdom
on earth is at an end. 1t has lasted, in
deed, but a little time-since Feb. II
1912. What has it accomplished? Very
much, beyond doubt. The Manchus are
gone, with all their medieval stupidity
and frippery. The Chinese have cut off
their pigtails and have held up their
heads. The difference in their race is
made apparent in the manly and friend
" bearing of every Chinese laundry
man and cook in America. 1t is appar
ent in railways in China, in the ex
tension and freedom of the Chinese
press, in moving pictures-in hundred
ways. Neither the power of the new
emperor-a born commoner and q pro
gressive man-nor any other might Of
influence on earth could put the Chinese
people back where they were before
They have been freed forever from tht
burden of the Middle Ages. 1t may. b,
a sad matter, sentimentally speaking
to see the Chinese republic perish thu
| overnight, as it We're, but the chang
has been slowly preparing, and as it i
no change back to Manchuism, we ma,
confidently expect that it viii strength
en-, not weaken, the ancient, beautiful
and strangely wise Middle Kingdom.

NEWS THAT ELUDES CENSOR.
England to Have 100000 Men Under

The Boston News Bureau has just re.
ceived advices from the other side that
would not by ordinery cable pass the
censor. The figures are definite, but it
is not quite fair to use them. 1t is prop
er to say, however, that they indicate
that the strength of Kitchener s army,
the enlistments and the reserves of
men in England are highly satisfactory,
and that the preparations that are be-
ing made by the allies to deal with the
situation in southeastern Europe are all
that could be desired.
There is no reason to doubt the re-
port that Great Britain will have 4,000,-
600 men under arms next spring and
their allotment in geographical posi-
ton on the map Of Europe will be re
sourceful.

SAVING THE SOIL MOISTURE
Time to Begin Operations 10 as Early
In Spring as Land Can Be Worked
Without Damage.

II is always difficult to be saving as
long as there is an ample supply OF
anything. This characteristic OF hu.
man beings results In the loss OF
enough moisture every season to pro-
vide for the needs OF much greater
crops, so far as that essential Is con-
cerned.
Tho time to begin saving moisture
Is as early in the spring as the soil
can be worked without doing damage
to II. The millions OF acres OF fall
plowed land will be found with crust
over the surface as soon as the snow
melts. The way to lose moisture Is
to permit this crust TO remain on the
plowed ground until the oats are sown
and spring plowing done. This Is the
first OF May in most cases. and many
times ten days or two weeks later.
The way to save moisture Is to break
the crust with a disk or harrow and
thus produce loose soil mulch. There
is scarcely a man who would think OF
permitting his field OF corn to remain
! crusted over during the four or five
weeks when cultivation ordinarily oc-
ours. yet there are many who permit
a crust to remain on their corn ground
for almost an equal length OF time be-
fore the corn Is planted.
The cornstalk and stubble lands
which are to be plowed In the spring
are other places where the disk can
be used with great profit as early as
the condition Of the soil will permit
Not only will the disking OF these
lands save moisture which would 9th
erwise be lost before plowing. but u
will also pulverlze the surface so that
when turned under II will form a bet
ter contact with the solid soil below
the furrow slice. In order that the
moisture In the lower soil may rise
into the soil cut on by the plow. II is
essential that the furrow slice NJ
closely upon the solid soil beneath
This Is impossible when clods ant
coarse soil are turned to the bottom
OF the furrow.

ADVANTAGE OF SUDAN GRASS
Heavy Yielding summer.erowlns Plant
Of Sorghum Farnlly--Three or -Four
Cuttings Yearly.

Sudan grass Is heavy yielding
summergrowing grass Of the sorghum
family. Il resembles Johnson grass
very much. except that It has not the
Objectionable root stalks and hence
is not a pernicious weed. according to
Prof s. F. Morse superintendent OF
the agricultural extension service OF
University OF Arizona College OF Ag-
riculture and State Leader, United
States department OF agriculture
However. II crosses with the Johnson
grass freely. and some fear has been
expressed that the seeds resulting
from such cross might produce a
grass which would be fully as objec-
tionable a pest as Johnson grass, Un-
der irrigation. or where the water sup
ply Is limited. sudan grass will yield
three or four cuttings during the sum
mer. giving from three to six tons OF
dry hay per acre. However, in feed
ing value II Is not equal to alfalfa. and
It is very probable that the amount OF
crop. alfalfa would not only give
better feed but also would be benen'
clal to the soil instead OF somewhat
detrimental as Is sudan grass For
a given amount OF water you will prob
ably get somewhat larger yield OF
forage per acre from sudan grass. but
this Is rather offset by the superior
qualities OF alfalfa, as indicated. On
the other hand sudan grass is more
alkali and drought resistant than al
falfa. Under dry farming conditions.
where a quantity OF forage produced
with q minimum amount OF moisture
Is the main object sudan grass
should prove an excellent crop. As
feed for best results II should be
balanced with alfalfa or cowpea hay
or cottonseed. Sudan grass must be
planted every year; II may be planted
after all danger OF frost Is past. using
