poomsday Book.

The Doomsday book was a valuation
survey of England made by William
the Conqueror. 1t was begun in 1885
and completed two years later. The
book records the owners Of land, the
nature of its cultivation, the number
of its inhabitants and their respective
classes-whether freemen, villeins or
serfs. The compilation of the book
made taxation on sound basis pos
sible, besides being a census roll and
record Of property valuations. The
survey was called the Doomsday Book
because in the eyes of the people Il
was like the great reckoning OF dooms-

The First Submarine.

The first submarine boat of which
history makes any record was built by
a Dutchman named van Driebel, in
1640. The boat was built in England
with money said to have been adj

TO reports, the vessel had a unique
ballasting system. There was a num-
Der of goatslSin bags placed under the
deck between two large planks. These
bags, when filed with water, caused
the vessel to sink. To cause 1t to rise
again the bags were pressed together
with windlass arrangement, forcing
the water out, and thus giving the

Want Return Of Farm.

The Roper Lumber Company has
made formal demand upon the state
Board of Agriculture for the return
of the 2OO-acre black land farm given
the Department of Agriculture two
years ago for test and demonstration
farm purposes, the contention being
that the farm is being operated in
such, way as to be detriment instead
of benefit to the promoters of the
settlement and cultivation of the
drained black lands in the midst of
which the farm is located. The trou-
Bile grows out of the fact that Direc-
tor B. w. Kilgore has insisted on ap-
plication of two tons of agricultural
lime to the acre before cultivation as
essential on account of sourness of
the soil. Those exploiting the black
lands insist that this lime treatment
is not needed and that for years to
come no fertilization or special chem
ical treatment of any sort will be nee
essary.
