many Americans who visit Avezzano.

draining the great lake and finally ac-
complished the task in 1875, at cost
Of $S,000,000. The former site Of the
lake was turned into an agricultural
district of $4,000 acres, which has
been very prosperous.
The Lacus Fucinus Of the ancient
Romans measured some forty miles In
circumference. All the mountain
streams of the Apennines drained in
to it, and as there was no outlet, 1t
was constantly overflowing Its bor-
ders, carrying death and destruction to
the surrounding country. Avezzano
was always the principal sufferer. For
nineteen centuries vain attempts had
been made to drain the lake. The EN-
peror Claudius employed $4,000 men
for eleven years before his death on
the task but without result. Emperor
Frederick II, lavished many lives In a
similar attempt. but accomplished
nothing.
The Torlonias finally undertook the
task. They engaged eminent French
engineers, including NJ. de Montrichet,
chief engineer Of the Bouches de
Rhone department, France, and M. de
Place, the chief engineer Of the Paris
Lyon Mediterranean railway and
with the unlimited capital at their
command. accomplished the task
which baffled many others. The diff
culties were enormous, but the engin-
eers succeeded by cutting a huge
tunnel through the rocks to drain the
lake into the river Liris. The tunnel
is from eight to ten miles long, and
at the time Of its construction 1t was
regarded as an engineering work
comparable with the construction Of
Mount Cents and Mount st. Gothard
tunnels and the Suez canal.
Through the concession granted for
reclaiming the lands, the Torlonias
came into possession Of large tracts
Of agricultural lands and all this
property is owned at the present time
by this family. The population Of
Avezzano is about 12,OOO.-New York

All in Turn.-Pierre Rodjestvensky
the Russian consul to San Francisco
said on a recent military argument:
These assailants Of the Russian
campaign are ignorant. Their argu'
ments show a military ignorance as
great as the sea ignorance that was
shown by the young tripper on his
first visit to Coney Island.
"As the tripper and his girl stood
on the Coney Island beach, the youna
woman said:

BELIEVE HOUR FIXED
Why Many Soldiers seorn to Avoid
Danger.

Danger.
Soldiers are often heard to say, IF
I am going to be shot, shall be shot" "
Wilberforce, an officer in the British
army during the Indian mutiny, said
that he never met but three men who
carried into practice the adage. One
Of those men was a friend, who, on
Wilberforce's arrival in front Of Delhi,
proposed a ride to show him the pick
cts. assuring him that the journey was
safe. AS they rode along, Wilberforce
suddenly heard the ping Of a bullet,
quickly followed by second and a
third.
Hello, what does this mean?" he
asked
"Oh. it is only the rifle pits; we are
just on their line Of fire." answered
the friend.
Instantly Wilberforce whipped up
his steed and galloped into a safe
place. Turning around, he saw that
his friend had dismounted and was
picking up the whip that Wilberforce
had dropped. Having done that. he
slowly remounted and walked his
horse into the place where Wilber-
force was awaiting him.
On another occasion, live shell
came inside siege battery and began
burying itself in the ground. Every
body went down except this fatalist.

sentence was interrupted by the ex-
plosion of the shell. A fragment tore
off a piece of the standing mans trou-

as an illustration Of the truth Of the
adage.
The other man who lived up to this
fatalist doctrine was seen by Wilber-
force standing still to light a cigar in
the middle Of street down which a
heavy fire was pouring. Wilberforce.
who was under shelter, called to him
to come under cover. He looked up
and said:
How often have told you that II
am to be shot shall be shot whether
am where I am or under cover?"
Then, taking out another match, he
finished the lighting process which his
friend had interrupted.
The third instance occurred at the
Delhi bank on the day Of the assault.

tween two men, was Wilberforce's s

FAMOUS WAR SPIES
Lord Kitehener's Experience in sh.
Soudan.

Lord Kitehener's Experience in the
Soudan.
There are spies and spies. Those
Of the rat hole kind are despicabl"
but those who take their lives In their
hands in order to get through the enc
mics lines in actual war time often
deserve the highest honors, for there
Is no more hazardous undertaking or
or one requiring more courage. The
word spy" has an i'll sound but the
spy is essential to warfare, or the
aeroplane would be of little use.
The most heroic Of English kings,
the one whose splendid effigy Is one
Of the glories Of the ancient capital OF
Winchester, the great and noble AL
fred, was himself spy, unless the
story Of his entering the Danish camp
as a minstrel is fiction and not fact.
And Kitchener, the greatest living
general, the finest organizer in the
world today undoubtedly, has acted
the difficult part of spy also.
Like Joshua and Caleb, Of Bible
narrative, who won eternal honor by
venturing into the enemy's country
all s.lone; it is said Lord Kitchener
acted in the same way in one Of the
earlier Egyptian campaigns, where he
was eventually to establish his repu-
tation. 1t Is related how two scouts
from the Egyptian lines came upon a
ragged Arab sitting under a tree. who
begged from them in wailing tones OF
the professional mendicant Of the east
imploring them in the word so famil-
lar to every tourist for "baksheesh."
The next day this same beggar was
pointed out to one Of the scouts as an
English officer Of great promise and
also Of great historic powers, who was
able to disguise himself so as to de-
ceive "the very elect" In fact, 1t was
none other than Herbert Kitchener,
whose name was just beginning to be
mentioned as coming man and who
later conquered that very Soundan.
whose natives he could copy to the
life.
Perhaps the most heroic feat Of
legitimate spying ever undertaken
in the British army was the marvel
Gus performance Of Lucknow Kav-
anaugh," as he is honorably called in
army annals. He was the son Of the
bandmaster Of the Third Bluffs, and
when Sir Colin Campbell wanted an
expert man to lead the way through
an intricate country swarming with
mutineers. young Kavanangh volun-
teered for the job.
There Is actually a spy buried in
Westminster Abby, and a monument
erected to his memory by the British
government. This is the famous Maj.
Andre, who was shot as spy by
George Washington for being within
American lines in disguise. The fact
is, he had been sent by his general
Sir Henry Clinton, to confer at West
Point, on the Hudson, with that
arbitrator, Gen. Arnold. He obeyed
orders and went, taking every precau-
the notice Of the enemy. In fact, he
was within sight Of the English lines
on his return when he was taken, and
after long court martial, he was
condemned and shot
The gallant and talented young
soldiers body was brought home to
England and inferred in Westmin-
ster Abby. where his monument-the
monument Of man shot as a spy
may still be seen.

New York Produce Man Says Pric'

New York Produce Man Says Price
Will Rise After War.
Declaring that wheat may easily &c
to IS a bushel, r. L. Sweet, Of the
Produce Exchange, said a few days
ago:
Experience has shown that in pro-
longed wars-and the present war
seems likely to be a matter of years
not months-the highest price OF
wheat has been reached in the few
years following the close of the war
when all ports are open again, COM
merce is free. and every country is
crying for foodstuffs.
THAT is why say wheat may easily
go to S. a bushel, price without pre-
cedent. so far as know. The present
time Is without precedent, too.
IF labor is so short abroad that
ships can't be unloaded at London, is
II likely that an invaded France will
be able to SOW grain for this years
crops?
Look at these figures Of the effect
Of wars on wheat prices. which Rens-
korf Lyon & Co. have just put in
booklet form:
IN the American revolution wheat
brought SO cents on an average at
seaboard markets in 1883. 1t rose
yearly to 1896. The average price was
s2.4S, but it touched So. 1t continued
high owing to the French revolution,
Napoleonic wars and the war Of 1872.
Waterloo was the end Of the Ma
poleonic wars, but wheat rose from
sl.76 in 1915 to $2.S5 in 1917. That was
the aftermath Of the long. devastating
war.
From 3S cents wheat went to $1.S5
in 1855. in the Crimean war. 1t was
s2.2S in 1864, but did not reach s2.S5
until 1867, two years after the civil
war was ended. In the Russo-Turk-

TREAT BARB WIRE INJURIES
Do Not Apply Axle Grease or Any
Rancid Ointment to Wound-Re-
move All Foreign Substances.
CBy DR. A. s. ALEXANDER, Wisconsin

by DIR. A. s. ALEXANDER, Wisconsin
Agricultural College.)
This is the season Of the year when
stockmen are most frequently an
noyed with barb-wire injuries to their
horses. Just a few things to bear
in mind at such times suge osted:
After a barb-wire accident, do not
apply axle grease or any rancid ONT
ment to the wound. Wash the wound
thoroughly with warm water. Then
clip the hair as close as possible
around it, and wash again to remove
any hair or other foreign substance.
When sand or hair has lodged in
the depths of deep cut never use a
wet sponge to clean it out. Use a
piece of absorbent cotton or cotton
batting. There will be much less risk
of infection.
1t will be useless to put stitches in
a wound that is very deep or ragged,
or that is located in a place not in
perfect rest when the animal is max
ing natural movements.
Dry busting powder has a healing
effect on barb-wire wounds and other
large, moist cuts and abrasions. Such
a powder may be prepared cheaply by
mixing together equal parts of slaked
lime, sulphur and charcoal.
Prevent lockjaw dangers in nail
wounds of the hoof by opening them
up freely, which provides drainage for
serum and pus. Saturate with a solu-
ton of corrosive sublimate and water
In the proportion of 1 to 500. Cover
with busting powder, absorbent cotton
and bandage. This treatment should
be repeated daily until the wound is
healed.

KEEP PUREBRED FOWLS
No Branch of Farming That Pays
Better Than Poultry.
Progress Made by Farmers in Greater
Part of Country Is Encouraged
Attention to Details Es-
sential to Success.

The progress made by the farmers
raising poultry in the greater part of
the United States in the past few
years is not only remarkable, but is
very encouraging to those who are
trying to establish this very impor-
tant branch of farming on a bread
er and more profitable basis than it
mas heretofore occupied. But still there
is plenty of room for further prog
ress and advancement. Some of the
occupants of farms who raise poultry
being rather slow in learning the diff
ference between haphazard methods
and inferior stock, and careful, meth
odical work with purebred fowls, you
can easily see from the returns of
their efforts that the state experiment
stations are doing much to overcome
this sort of poultry work and to show
these farmers who have neglected
poultry altogether as not paying that
there is indeed no branch of farming
that pays better, when equal attention
is given to modern methods and the
little details which are now consid-
cred as absolutely essential to success
with poultry.
Until very recently the poultry on
most farms has been a mixture of all
sorts and breeds all running togeth-
er, and you might travel for miles
and visit farms and not be able to
see one purebred fowl Of standard
variety. But that time has passed
and many farmers are keeping Meth
ing but purebred fowls, though there
is still far too much of the mongrel
variety which is of very little value
