FARMING LANDS IN SIBERIA
That They Are Rich Is Proved by the
Crops That Are Gathered
From Them.

We have inherited from the tradi.
tions of the past the idea that Siberia
is a country with a not very fruit
full soil. Yet in the last few years
very decided advances in farming have
been made there, as a result of the ef'
forts of the Russian government to
arouse the native peasants and set
tiers to more intensive cultivation
of the ground. In the western section
of the country, so the German journal
Prometheus tells US, large associa-
tions of farmers have been organ.

In 1912 butter to the value of 7,000,-
600 rubles Ca ruble is about 81 cents)
was exported. In 1913 this amount
had doubled, for In this yer butter
to the value of 14,50O,000 rubles was
sold to Germany, Austria-Hungary and
England, In 1912 experiments were
made in the manufacture of the Eng
lish cheddar cheese. After several
failures, the cheese. which is very pop
ular in Great Britain, was so success
fully initiated that in 1918 England inn
ported IS tons of Siberian cheddar.
The trade is carried on by ships di-
rectly from the interior of Siberia to

old M|lLER's Dog
BY JOHN PRICE, JR.

ters, staring after the couple that
walked down the street. Did YOU
see that, Polly?"
Polly, his wife, looked out of the
parior window and threw up her
hands in amazement. For such a
spectacle could not have been imag-
ined in the village.
The couple" consisted of a man
and dog. The man, Henry Miller.

and walked with a sort of pomnous
and yet mean self-assertion which in

trotted beside the man, looking up at
him with such an expression of faith
and trustfulness as only dogs display.
Who ever heard of Henry Miller
showing any affection to anyone?"
asked Peters.
You'd think he'd show what little
he had to that crippled. son of his,
and his young wife and baby" an
1"OAOu L OAly.
Old Henry Miller was the hardest
character in the place. He had never
been known to have a good word to
say to anybody. He had turned his
only SON. out of his house years be-
fore, and the boy, who suffered from
a congenital lameness, was now liv-
ing in a mean quarter of the town,
with his wife and child. His illness
had necessitated his giving up his
position. Miller knew all about it,
but he collected his mortgage moneys
just the same, and added to his pile
at the bank, and snarled his way
through life, hated and feared and
called "the meanest man in Pilking-
ton."
But even the hardest man has q
streak of humanity in him somewhere
Or other. Three days before Miller
had found the little mongrel, shiver-
ing and wet, on his doorstep. The
cur looked up at him and whined.
Miller had lifted his foot to kick it
away when a sudden idea occurred to
him.

boy he said, STOPPING down and pat

An irascible Irish colonel was lead
ing a regiment on long and d1mcult
march. Tagged and worn out, tney
halted for a rest by the wayside. when
1t became necessary to move on the
colonel gave the order, but the weary
men remained stretched upon the
ground. He repeated the order per-
emptorily, and still there was no mo-
ton. By this time his temper was at
a white heat. and he thundered out:

much use for you or me, have they?
Let's stand together, since we're both
without friends"
And he took the dog inside and
gave it meal of bread and meat.
From that time onward the man
and dog were inseparable. Miller's
idea had been to make the dog as
much feared as he was himself, but
all his endeavors to set it on the
children, who played about his door
step in spite of his angry threats,
failed. And as the weeks went by it
began to seem as though old Miller
was growing more human.
For instance, there was the day
when the baseball, hurled by the boy
across the street, went through his
parlor window. Old Miller, doing in
his chair, was awakened by the crash
of glass, and the ball, bouncing across
the floor, landed in his lap. The
mongrel leaped up and barked.
The furious old man saw what had
happened at once He snatched up
stick and rushed to his door. Upon
the opposite side of the street the
children, too terrified to run, were
staring in fascination into Miller's
house.
I'll teach you lesscn!" yelled
Miller. "Sic 'em, Outcast!"
The dog leaped at the nearest boy,
pulled at his coat, and stood wagging
his tail and uttering short, sharp
barks as he looked pleadingly from
the boy to his master. Outcast knew
what had been in Miller's mind, but
he wasn't going to harm his friends.
He had played with them too often
for that.
Old Miller, who had advanced
across the street, waving his stick,
suddenly stopped dead, The dog con-
tinued to wag his tail and look up at
him.
'You ought to be more careful"
muttered Miller. However, boys vii!

 "One of the incidents which stands out clearly in my mind is of a night l mare drive to Herlus. received or ders late one evening to take two cars to this village at 1 a. m. Not being able to find the divisional doctor to tell him that I considered it impossible to take ambulances by night, without
 lights, in the pouring rain over the shel1-holed road which led to the will lage, I had to try it. MT. Joseph Whit we'll with his car and chauffeur ac- companied me. On my car I had George Tate, a most capable man. As he is a better driver than I am, he held the wheel while I Gas so it seems now) spent my whole time wading through knee-deep mud trying, by the faint light of an electric lamp, to find the way round shell-holes and bogs, or pushing the car out of the gutter. It shows how difficult the journey was that to cover the six kilometers there and back took us two and a half hours. We had the satisfaction of getting the wounded safely to the hos pitals, and perhaps it was not entirely low minded of us to be pleased next morning when we heard that some French cars had refused to make the same journey"
 MT. Norton tells at some length of having his ambulances stationed one day at Perthes, at spot only forty yards distant from battery which the Germans were shelling. The shells fell so close that the American am- bulance men took refuge in a dugout, the entrance of which was filled with dirt and splinters from various ex- plosions A hOrSe-ambulance near by was blown up, and finally the Germans brought their gas shells into play. "We fixed masks on the wounded and on ourselves" writes MT. Norton, "and after about two hours the Germans let up and we were able to take a long breath and express our feelings of the man who invented this dirty way of fighting. Nobody was really any the worse for the experience, though our thrOats and eyes troubled us for day or two''

 in Rome and the director of the American Archaeological mission at Cyrene, North Africa. An allusion to

 on the rolling land, over which the
 trenches cut in through the chalk soil
 ran like great white snakes, the bat 1 terles of every sized gun were in | numerable. I cannot tell you how l many guns there were but in a radius | of half a mile from where my am- l bulance stood the first night there were at least a dozen batteries of Var1- ] ous calibres, and they were no thicker there than anywhere else. We tried to sleep on the stretchers for an hour
 or two before dawn of the twenty fifth but when you have battery or 150-s coughing uninterruptedly with in less than 100 yards of where you
 are resting, to say nothing of other
 guns to right and to left of you, ones
 repose is decidedly syncopated. On
 the morning of the twenty fifth the
 cannonade slackened and We knew
 afterwards that the three days work
 had battered the German lines into
 shapeless mass and that the French
 infantry had made good the chance
 they had been patiently waiting for
 all summer of proving to the world
 their ability to beat the Germans.
 We are in no position to tell what
 troops did the best work but everyone
 knows that the Colonials under Gen
 eral Marchand did splendidly, as did the Eleventh corps, which was along side them. Only three or four incidents of the twelve hard days work stand out clearly in my mind. The rest is but hazy memory of indistinguish- able nights and days, cold and rainy, long rows of laden stretchers waiting to be put into the cars, wavering lines of less seriously wounded hObbling along to where were waiting, sleepy hospital orderlies, dark under ground chambers in which the doctors were sorting out and caring for the wounded, and an unceasing noise of wagons whirring aero planes, distant guns coughing and nearby ones crashing, shells bursting and bullets hissing. Out of this gen. eral tumble of memory one feature shines out steadily clear. It is of the doctors, patient, indefatigable, tender, encouraging and brave in the most perfect way they were everywhere in the forefront and seemingly knew not what fatigue meant.

 A Last Scene.
 An additional paragraph of pictur- esoue matter from a letter from MT. Berry, reads:
 "One last scene I saw that I shall not forget. There was a white chalk road between black pine trees, and on it, moving towards us were two groups of sruffling men, blood red sunset at their backs.
 Our car slowed down to pass be- tween them, but when we saw, we stopped-and let them pass.
 "On one side moved a muddy blood stained company where blue clad figures dropped in saddles, or chung with both hands to comrades stirrup leather. saw a broken sword and empty earbine holsters, and I saw too, eyes glazed with fatigue that stared from dead white faces. On the other passed a second com pany, muddy and blood-stained like the first, but here were gray-clad figures staggering in step, the stronger with their arms around their com rades. I saw the ribbon of the Iron Cross, and I saw again eyes glazed with fatigue that stared from dead white faces.
 50 passed us by remnant of the Hussars' charge, and a group of Ger man prisoners. Victors and Van quished-with only the white road between them."
