Weaving Industry Of Peru.

A considerable increase In Industrial
activity is to be noticed in Peru. On
the whole the textile industries have
beer the most successful, since cotton
and wool are produced locally In
quantities and qualities sufficient TO
ensure profitable results. The only
other industries that have attained
much importance include the manu-
facture Of cottonseed oil, soap and CO
caine. The cotton mills In Peru manu-
facture principally sail-cloth. flterpress
ciotn, towels and some other heavy
goods. The total number Of looms In
operation Is n Thousand and fifteen,
and the annual production Is about
fifteen million yards. The develop
ment of this industry will create a
fairly good opening for cotton mill
machinery. The wooden industry -
also expected 70 expand.

German Woman Law err.

A appeared as an attorney
for the first time in the history of
German criminal courts a few days
ago, when Fraulein Or. Munk OF
Berlin acted as defendant counsel for
a man accused of a street robbery.
The incident was the subject of con
siderable comment, and il has been
suggested that this may lead ta the
appearance of tailars specializing in
the attire of feminine lawyers. In
some quarters the view is held that
the presence OF woman attorneys may
exert a moderating influence in courts
such as tempering retorts from oppos.
ing counsel, although others point out
that such repartee may be intensi.
fed If both opposing attorneys are
women.
Fraulein Munk's cleverness and as.
surance in court created a distinctly
favorable impression.

PROPER BALANCE TO MANURE
Some Farmers Try Little Experiment
on Small Piece Of Land to
Find Condition.

It is a pretty good idea, and n fol-
lowed by a lot of hard-headed, prac-
tical farmers. to balance the barnyard
a little with either rock or
acid phosphate. Barnyard manure is
a balanced ration when II to
plant foods for some crops. That is
why some farmers try a little expert
ment on a half acre or so Of ground
just to see what their land lacks.
About forty or fifty pounds of acid
phosphate per ton of manure, or 400
to 800 pounds per acre. may be applied
to a small part of the field, and the
results will show whether IL will pay
to put the fertilizer ON the whole field.
II makes the acid phosphate easy to
apply simply TO spread II evenly on
the top of each spreader load of
manure so that each ton OF the
will carry with 1t the above
mentioned amount Of the phosphate.

HAS RARE VOLUME
American Proud Possessor OF
One of Oldest Books.
Belle Ied to Have Been Printed In
China Before Western Hemisphere
Knew Of Movable Type.

William Richard, former vice presi.
dent OF the American Numismatic So
ciety, who acquired two rare books
during Il trip TO China several years
ago, has announced after thorough in
v~estigation, his conviction that he has
n of the rare books called the Tan
jur," or the Book of the Doctrine of
the Tibetans.
For some time after he came into
possession of the book, Mr.. Richard
locked upon it as only a curiosity
withOGt any particular worth, until
he showed it TO a friend, who urged
him to investigate its origin. After
more than II year studying the litera-
ture Of Tibet and China, he found
that the book was printed more
than LOGO years ago with NOV
able type, at that time unknown in
the western hemisphere. MIR. Rich
ard says he has proved conclusively
that the "Tanjur" was printed 700
years before the famous Gutenberg
Bible, the first European book print
ed with movable type.
From an office boy for John ID.

WATER TROUCHS
EASY TO BUILD
Good Plan to Select Well Drained
Site to Prevent Stock From
Making Mud Holes.
ALSO PACK and LEVEL LAND
Cement Wash Can Be Applied With
Brush or Broom and wakes
Smooth Surface and AIco In
sures WateT-Tightness.

CBy w. G. Kaiser, Agricultural Engineer
The construction of Il concrete trough
like that shown in the drawing is
not a difficult task and any farmer can
build il.
A watering trough should be placed
on well drained ground, because under
the best of conditions the livestock will
in time make mud holes unless a plat
form is built, or the holes around the
trough are filled in as sOon as they
are made. Sometimes it is advisable
to put the trough on a small knoll in
order that the water will quickly
drain away.
The ground under the trough should
not only be drained but also leveled
and packed.
Outside Form Of Trough.
IA outside forms of the trough are
made of one inch boards and z by 4
inch pieces as shown in the drawing.
After these forms have been securely
Oraced, the concrete can be deposited
in the bottom TO half the depth Of the
floor. Reinforcement consisting of "a
inch round rods are then placed on
the partly constructed floor. These
rods, are bent in ~" shape so that
the ends will project up into the sides
and reinforce the walls. All the rods
are bent to the proper shape before
any concrete work is started, so that
they can be quickly put in and the re-
mainder of the concrete floor placed
without delay or making any joints.
The inside form which has been
made previous TO mixing any Of the
concrete is then quickly lowered in
proper place and fastened TO the out
side forms with clamps as shown in
h drawing. Speed is necessary in
order that the walls can quickly be
placed SO there will be a strong bond
between walls and floors.
