GENERAL PETITION

Among the British commanders who
 have been waging war on the empires
 enemies in out-of-the-way corners Of
 the globe, none have been more sue
 cessfuI than General William Eliot
 Peyton, who crushed the uprising of
 the Arabs in western Egypt. The
 Bedouins, inspired by Turkish and
 German agents and provided with
 arms by Fnglands enemies, threaten~
 cd Egypt for time, until Peyton led
 a whir1wind campaign through the
 barren land and quickly reduced them to submission. General Peyton has
 just passed the ha1f-century mark, and
 has been in the army for thirty years
 The greater part of his mature life
 has been spent in Africa and he won
 high honors in the Dongola expedi-
 tionary force, the Soudan campaigns
 and the South African war. In the
 Soudan conflict of 1897 he had a mar row escape from death, his horse haV- ing been speared and he himself dan gerous1y wounded By his swift, hard,
 unrelenting campaign against the Bedouins he completely broke the power of the German and Turkish agents over the tribesmen. Having completely neglected their crops in or der to make war on the English, the Arabs are now in a desperate plight, and large numbers of them are now being fed by the British at the camps esta blished for them. The expedition against the Arabs, completely success full as it was, brought many hardships to the troops. For a. time they march ed through a, country deluged by a 1 cold rain and transformed into a sea l of mud, only to emerge upon sandy,
 sun-scorched deserts, over which they l tramped for days with only scanty supplies of water to assuage their | burning thirst. After their bitter ex- perience of defeat and serni-starvation,
 it is unlikely that the Arabs in this
 part of the country will again listen
 to the call of the Sultan or the Kaiser.

ABOLITION NOVELS

The first novel by an American au- thor directed against the institution of slavery was ''Archy Moore written in 1885 by Richard HiIdreth, who was born in DeerfieId, Mass, 1O9 years ago today. This forerunner of sFUn- c1e Toms Cabin was widely read in the North and round1y condemned in the South, and was repubIished and favorably received in England. In 1852 an enlarged American edition appeared under the title of '"The White Slave" and while it did not make as strong an appeal as the fam ous novel of Harriet Beecher Stowe, it doubtless played a part in influ- encing sentiment against slavery. Hfl- dreth, the pioneer in this field of fic- ton, was a graduate of Harvard and practiced law for a time, but gave it up to devote his time to Journalistic work, becoming the editor of the Bos- ton Atlas. His abolition novel was the result of a year and a half spent on a plantation in the South where he had gone for the benefit of his health. In 184O he settled in George town, British Guiana, as the editor of a local newspaper, and there he wrote two of his serious books Theory of Morals and Theory of Politics. He was also the author of several histori- cal works, and for some years was an editor of the New York Tribune.

HAGGARD, NOVELIST
 AND FARMER

Sir Henry Rider Haggard, the Eng fish novelist, who left early this year on tour of the world with a mission from the Royal Colonial Institute to investigate the opportunities for agri- cultural development and empire building after the war, is unusually cofnpetent to tackle such task, for he is an expert agriculturist as well as a famous writer of fiction. Sir Ri- der is a native of Norfolk, and is sixty years old to-day. He began his reer as an author in 1882, achieving his greatest fame with King Solo
 mons Mines,'' published in 1886 and
 s'She" published the following year,
 although his list of popular novels runs into the dozens.
 Sir Rider is a practical farmer of long experience, and he knows crops , not only in England, but has made a close study of agricultural conditions in South Africa, Australia, Canada and other parts of the empire. His pres l ent duty is to report on the possibilities | of employing veterans of this war on the land after the conflict is over. It l is expected that as a result of his in
 vestigationS and reports from other l sources the British government will be
 able to intelligently direct steady
 streams of these ex-service men and
 their families to South Africa, Cana
 da, Australia, New Zealand and other
 parts of the ernp pire where the chances ! of success are best.
 l It was more than forty years ago
 that Sir Rider first visited Africa as secretary to the governor of Natal, and
 he resided in various partss of the dark continent for many years thereafter. In I1884 he was admitted to the bar, but he soon abandoned law for literature. | His first important baak, Dawn was
 refused by six publishers. His three
 earliest stories realized less than $50 for the author, but King Solomon s
 Mines" and ''She," brought him a small fortune. In the opinion of lit
 erary critics, however, Sir Rider will be remembered not by his popular TO- 1 mances, but the author of Rural | England,' a work which seems destin- l ed to take rank among the agricultu- ral classics. Capt. Haggard, a fa- 4vorite nephew of the author, was one

that of a Texas bank. The president
of the bank placed 326 pigs among
pig club members of his county. As
a result of the acquaintance made in
obtaining and placing these pigs,
many new patrons were secured.
These patrons brought in more than

was profitable business for the bank
and it is also a means that will in
crease with time in its beneficial in

SOre-Head May be Prevented in
Chicks.

Sore-head usually gives trouble to
poultrymen during summer. 1t is pre-
valent during the rainy season on late
Matched chicks. The disease is due
to small parasites which cause swell
ing and irritation of the head. The
eyes become inflamed and sore and
the chicks finally die.
The best means of control is pre-
vention, according to A. P. Spencer,
district agent for the University of
Florida Extension Division. If one
waits until the disease appears he
will have considerable trouble and
probably will lose number of chicks.
AS soon as the chicks are strong and
active, epson salts should be given
in the feed or water. A half pound
of epson salts can be added either to
enough wet mash feed for fifty checks
and fed three times day or to three
gallons of water which can be kept
before the birds constantly. Enough
permangarate of potash should be
added to the woter TO coloc 1t. This

CUBA IS INDIFFERENT, AND THE

THAT MATERIAL BE DUMPED
IN SEA.

Havana, June 24.-Attention is
being called to the long-continued neg
lect of the Cuban government to pro-
coed with the erection of the memorial
of the Maine. Many months ago the
two ten-inch guns, the turret plates,
the anchor chain and a quantity of
shells from the battleship were remov-
ed from the rubbish dock where they
had lain for four years and were
FILED in a heap in rough vacant
space on the outskirts of the city
proper. It was announced that the
memorial, of which these relies were
b, form q art, was to be cree I'd n
that site. Later The secreta-y of pub-
Tic works decided that the site was ur-
suitable but no other one appears to
have been selected or to lie eontem-
plated.
The Havana Post suggests editorial
~ that as Cuba appears to be indiffer-
emit to the raising of the memorial the
rest disposition ti,a' can he made of
the relics is to carry them out to sen

that it will not. Others are of the
opinion that the fruit will ripen

several pickings. Still others believe
that the late fruit will develop rapidly
and not cause much trouble.

Poor Milk.

Consumer Sometimes Responsible for
Poor Milk.
Give the dairyman square deal.
Milk customers are wont to blame all
the spoiled milk on the dairyman, and
if the milk does not keep as long as
it should, the dairyrnan is usually ac-
cused of delivering old milk or pro
ducing unclean milk. Now in some
cases the criticism is justified. Danny
men have been known to produce I'M
clean milk and some are probably do
ing it yet, but it is not advisable to
accuse a reputable dairyman hastily.
It is probable that he is more capable
of producing clean milk than ninety
five per cent of his customers are Of
keeping it clean.
G. L. Willoughby professor of dairy
ing in the University of Florida Col
lege of Agriculture, reminds house
wives that they should care for milk
just as carefully after it is delivered
as they would have the dairyman care
for it before. First of all it should be
placed in the refrigerator immediate
ly upon delivery. If it stands in the
sun an hour or two it cannot be ex-
pected to keep well. The bacteria
which are present will have done con-
siderable work before the temperature
can be reduced. Then the longer the
bottle sits on the steps or porch, the
greater danger there is of spelling.
