PRIMITIVE WAYS IN ARABIA
Mode of Life Differs Little From
What 1t Was in the Time of
Abraham.

1t appears that In certain parts of
the Arabian desert life is as primitive
as in Abraham's time. Sheep are
still slain to seal vow. The salt or
bread covenant is observed and when
a man dies his tent is torn down and
destroyed.
Old names like Joseph, Moses, Alex
ander, etc, are still in common use
among Arabs, although pronounced
"Yusuf," "Musa" and "Skandar." To
divorce his wife q man may repeat the
formula "Ent telek" three times; usu-
ally uttering it once makes the woman
behave and the repetition is not nee
essary. The evil eye superstition is
common, and the first injunction CIV
en- a foreigner by experienced Arabian
travellers is that he must not point at
animals or persons in Arab settle
ments.
Arabs say that man possessed OF
this malign power can look at bird
flying in the air and it will drop dead ;
that if he chooses to cast his wicked
spell on a camel it may go lame, or a
child may be struck blind. None of
the lower class can read or write, but
the Arab is noted for his ready wit
and his habit of speaking in allegory.

ment Of Agriculture)
Whe4 an early crop is grown, the
date of harvesting is largely governed
by market conditions If the price is
high, a crop may often be harvested
profitably when it is half or two-thirds
grown, whereas if prices are low it is
generally advisable to allow the tu-
bers to reach full development before
they are dug. In the case of.late vari-
eties destined for winter consumption
it is the usual practice to delay har-
vesting as long as it. is safe to do so
without running unnecessary risk of
freezing the tubers.
Use Elevator Digger.
With few exceptions, the potato
crop is harvested with an elevator dig
ger drawn by horses. When the crop
is sold from the field, it is a common
practice to sort and sack the potatoes
as they are picked up. The sorting or
grading of potatoes in the field is most
economically done by using a potato
grader of the shaker or belt type.
These graders are mounted upon a
wooden sled and are hauled along
by a horse. The sorter has two

BOYS AND GIRLS WORK HARD
Year Worth $4,000, ,ooo-Many
Were Enrolled

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.l
More than 100000 boys and girls
were reached through club work last
year, according to a compilation re-
Gently made by the United States de-.
partment of agriculture, which super
vises this work in cooperation with
the state agricultural colleges. OF
this number approximately $4,000
made complete reports, which show
that they produced and conserved
products amounting to $10,000000. In
the SO Northern and Western states
S40,606 boys and girls were enrolled.
OF this number 160,625 made complete
reports and produced and conserved
products valued at $3,70O,O00. In the
South there We're 115, ,745 boys enrolled
in the regular work, who produced
products valued at $4,5O0,000, and 49,
3O6 girls who produced and conserved
products valued at $1,500,000. In the
emergency club work in the South the
club leaders reached over 100000 boys
and approximately 100000 girls who
produced and conserved products
valued at more than 100000.

screens, arranged one above the other
The diameter of the openings in the
upper screen in some graders is Ia
inches and in others inches, while
the lower one may have openings any
where from II to IA inches in diam
eter. Some makes of graders or sizers
have wire-mesh screens with square
openings, while others have circular
or oblong openings. with circular ends.
Pickers and Sorters.
Three pickers usually work with
one sorter, each taking a row. The
potatoes are picked into wire or splint
baskets having bail handle, and as
the baskets are filed they are dumped
on the upper part of the top screen
and then shaken down. The large po-
tatoes passing over the, top screen are
diverted into one sack and those pass
ing through the upper screen and over
the lower go into another sack One
man drives the horse and operates the
sOrter while another Sews the sacks
and assists in loading the wagons.
One digger with the necessary crew
of men and teams can harvest from
three to four acres a day.

Tunnel Would Pay for Itself.

1t has been proposed to construct a
railway tunnel under the Firth Of
Forth, Scotland, paralleling the famous
bridge now spanning that body Of
water, and to pay for the tunnel by
making it largely a coal mining prop
osition. Mining engineers point out
that coal is now being mined on both
sides of the firth from the same seams
and that much of this eXcavating is
done under water. At this point the
estuary is only about two miles wide
and it is cOntended that a continuous
passage could be made beneath it by
properly co-ordinating the mining op-
erations. In this way what would
otherwise probably prove to be too
costly an improvement could be made
with protit.-Popular Mechanics.

VIII STRANGELY Enlind

Stranger than fiction is the story
told in London Of how missing will
was discovered. In one house there
was an old bureau which had been
handed down as an heirloom for near
ly century. In an air raid this was
split down the center, and a secret
cabinet revealed. There were found
a number of papers, and among them
a will which will have an important
effect upon the present holders Of the

Nine Days in Luxembourg.

l was now heading northwest and l
thought that by keeping that course
! would get out of Luxembourg and
into Belgium, where 1 expected to be
little better off, because the people
Of Luxembourg were practically the
same as Germans.
One of the experiences 1 had in Lux
embourg which l shall never forget
occurred the first day that 1 spent
there. / had travelled all night and
was feeling very weak. 1 came to 9
small wood with plenty of low under
brush, and picked out a thick clumI
of brushes which was not in line will
any paths. crawled in and lay dowI
to spend the day.

and l figured that two hundred and
fifty miles was nearer the extent of the
| journey ahead of me.
In several parts of this country had
to travel through forests of young pine
trees about twelve feet high. They
were very close together and looked
almost MS if they had been set out.
They proved to be a serious obstacle
to me because, could not see the stars
through them and l was relying upon
the heaven to guide me to freedom. ]
am not much of ain astronomer, but i
know the Pole Star when l see it. But
for 1t l wouldn't be here todayl
/ believed it rained every night and
day while l was making my way
through Germany and Luxembourg.
My invariable program at this stage
of my journey was to travel steadily
all night until about six in the morn
ing, when would commence looking
around for place wherein to hide
during the day. Low bushes or woods
back from the road, as far us possible
from the travelled pathway, usually
served me for this purpose. Having
found such a spot would drop down
and try to sleep. My overcoat was
my only covering, and that was usu-
ally soaked through, either from the
rain or from swimming.
The only sleep l got during those
days was from exhaustion, and it usu-
ally came to me towards dusk when
it was time for me to start again.
1t was a mighty fortunate thing fol
me that was not q smoker. Somehow

was now fully repaid for whatever
pleasure had foregone in the past as
a result of my habits in that partic
ular, because my sufferings would Ger
tainly have been intensified now if, il
addition to lack of food and rest,
had had to endure a craving for to
bacco.
About the sixth night 1 was 81
drowsy and exhausted when the tim,
came for me to be on the move, tha
was very much tempted to sleeT
through the night. / knew, however
that that would be a bad precedent tt
establish and l wouldn't give in.
1 plugged wearily along and abou
IL o'clock, after had covered perhap.
four miles, / sat down to rest for /,
moment on shock of brush whicl
was sheltered from the drizzle some
what by other shocks which wer,
stacked there. 1t was daylight whel
awoke, and l found myself right ii
q German backyard. You can imagin,
that lost no time in getting out o
that neighborhood and L made up m.
mind right there and ther that woult
never give away to that tired feeling
again.
In the daytime, in my hiding place
wherever it happened to be, 1 ha
plenty of opportunity TO study my maj
and before very long knew it almos
by heart. Unfortunately, however, |
did not show all the rivers and canal
which I encountered, and sometimes i
fooled me completely.

1t is not an uncommon spectacle to
see a negro play harmonica with his
nostriIs. Among the Filipinos a flute
is never played in any other way. and
it would create much surprise in that
country to see man play flute with
the mouth. These nose-flutists can
play the ordinary music with ease, but
fast ragtime is too much for them.

The hot summer weather is likely
to be trying on cows. Make provi-

Good Orchard Hints

Watch the weather, watch insect and

If an additional spray is necessary,
put it on. Don't allow past efforts to
prove abortive on account of the need
of one more application. Clean fruit
will pay best.
