RESTORING THE TEMPLE OF KARNAK
French Egyptologists Undertake the Work
of Restoration at Thebes.
"If modern Egypt," wrote a French

fault escaped our influence, the Egypt

he ingeniously argues, "that this'latter

of 2,000 years, in which the total de-

The great temple of Karnak was
rnlsed In honor of Anion, the Egyptian
god of generalUwi. Twenty-four thou-
sand years before Christ the tirst
sanctuary to ll e god w:is built by
Ofiirtaser I. Like the Delphic tem;ilc
In Greece this temple became Imme-
diately the national monument of
Egypt and every sovereign'of each suc-
ceeding dynasty had but one great aim
to mark his reign by beautifying the
temples which had been erected by his
picdecessors or by constructing new
buildings, whose sl?.e and dignity
should eclipse all those which had
been raised by countless tolling slaves
of former kings.
It was this ambition which drove
Thoutmes n. to raise the obelisks, mar- |
vels of airy grace, one of which stands
today In New York, one In London
and one In Paris. It was this which j
Impelled his son, Thoutmes HI., to
build the famous palace, to rebuild in
granite the more modern sanctuary of
Osirtaser and to const met the ma -ivc

The Yellow river, which has again

Kxhausted Soils.
N 8. Swell, In an address to the
I Jasper County, Illinois, farmers, said:
I There are but few if any farmers
[ satisfied with their crop yields upon
the uplands i,n the county. In early
days these produced abundantly but
by continued cropping without any re-
turn to the land of the plant elements
i consumed they have los: much of their
i vitality and we are now feeling the ef-
l fects of such a course of husbandry,
i The soil eleixents are wanting to pro-
duce paying crops. These must be
known and applied. This new con-
1 dition must be recognized and efforts
put forth to restore their original fer-
: tility, if farming is to be a paying in-
vestment. To secure this the farmers
must pay a great deal of attention to
! plant food. The sources from which
I plants derive their food are first, the
atmosphere and second from the soil,
j The atmospheric supply is always in
abundance. The soil supply is the one
: that requires the careful attention of
the farmer. The elements in the soil
the plant feeds upon are potash, phos-
i phoric acid and nitrogen. The soil is
rich when the plant can get these ele-
! ments in sufficient quantity, therefore
every crop raised draws largely from
these elements, and must be replaced
by natural or artificial fertilizers for
profitable producing purposes. But
j various crops draw upon these ele-
! ments in different proportions, and one
element may be exhausted while the
others remain, but in less quantity. To
determine how much a resort to ex-
; periments is necessary the farmer
! must get a chemical analysis of the
various food plants raised upon the
I farm in which case he can determine
j how much of each element has been
taken from the soil and thus replace
them with but little difficulty. Experi-
ments are necessary, however, to de-
termine whether the soil does not con-
tain these elements In the right pro-
portion, yet in an insoluble condition
bo that the plant roots can net feed
upon them. It Is often the case that
different parts of a farm are in this
condition and are condemned as poor
and worthless, when, in fact, they are
rich in plant food, only the plant ele-
ments are so combined with other ele-
ments that the plant cannot appro-
priate them as food. When such con-
ditions exist the soli can be made pro-
ductive in various ways. By good
drainage which will allow the air to
penetrate the soil and assist to decom-
pose It. Land plaster will liberate the
potash. Lime and common salt will
Improve the condition of the soil. Ro-
tation of crops has great influence in
making the plant food available. Good
tillage is another method. Still an-
other is the raising of clover and plow-
ing It under.
In conclusion, let me say that my
experience In farming so far, is good
drainage, good preparation of the soil,
good tillage and a judicious rotation
of crops, the raising and plowing un-
der of clover and other leguminous
crops, and an Intelligent saving and
using barn yard manure. This is far
more economical than depending en-
tirely upon commercial fertilizers,
which are costly and not entirely sat-
isfactory because of Insufficient knowl-
edge and experience in their applica-
tion. If we neglect the above we must
resort to the fertilizers or fail in pro-
ducing paying crops.

A Cheap Substitute for I'urU Green.
Objections to Paris Green.—Paris
green is a good insecticide, but I3
somewhat troublesome to use in liquid
form as it does not dissolve readily,
and needs constant agitation to keep
it from settling. If allowed to settle
at rfll the distribution is not uniform,
and Injury is likely to result to the
foliage of some plants, while the in-
serts on other plants escape. More-
over, it is unduly expensive, whether j
used dry or in the form of a spray, j
White arsenic, in a soluble form, costs
about one-third as much as Paris green
and gives no trouble in the way of set-
tling. •
How to Prepare the Arsenlte of
Soda.—Dissolve two pounds of com-
mercial white arsenic and four pounds
of carbonate of soda (washing soda)
!n two gallons of water and use one
and one-half pints to a barrel of Bor-
deaux mixture (B0 gallons). The eas-
iest wiy to make the solution is to put
both the white arsenic and carbonate
of soda in a gallon of boiling water
and keep boiling about fifteen mlnute3,
or until a clear liquid is formed, and
then dilute to two gallons.
How Much to Use.—One and one-
half pints of this solution to each bar-
rel of Bordeaux mixture Is sufficient
to use when spraying for potato blight
and potato bugs, for apple scab and
apple worms, or for any other purpose
where a combination mixture for fungi
and Inserts I3 required.
Merits of the Combination Mixture.
—This combination has been fully
tested at the Ohio Experiment Sta« n
and found to be quite as effective as
the Paris green and Bordeaux mixture
combination, and for the reasons given
above is much to be preferred. This
arsenic and soda solution, or arsenite
of soda, Is more safely used In combi-
nation with Bordeaux mixture than
alone, as when in combination it will
not Injure the foliage, but alone it is
liable to burn the leaves. The same
objection holds good, however, with
reference to Paris green and London
purple. It Is better, however, In al-
most every case, to use the combina-
tion mixture as fungi arc nearly always
present and unless they are kept In
check there Is but little use for fight-
ing insects.—Bulletin Ohio Experiment
Station.
Glanders In Cheap Horses.
A Government report says: It has
been claimed that breed influences the
character and distribution of glanders,
but this is probably Indirectly. Some
say that lymphatic draft-horses suffer
more severely, but in central Illinois,
much devoted to breeding high-class,
heavy-Graft stock, the disease appeared
far less, and of milder type, in them
than in other breeds. It appeared to
be especially the disease of the poor
man's horse. The better classes own-
ed the more valuable draft stock, and
if one were ailing, the nature of the
malady %vas learned by employing a
veterinarian, and proper action taken,
or the diseased animal was sold or
bartered at a low figure to the poorer
neighbor, and the disease, with the aid
of unsanitary surroundings, commun-
icated to his Inferior animals. Today
we find glanders most prevalent in
those sections of our country where it
runs the mildest course, shows the
greatest tendency to recover, and is the
least contagious. In such localities, at
present, we find the most and the
cheapest horses. The mild cases are
difficult of diagnosis, and stock-own-
ers cannot be convinced of the char-
acter of the disease. In the Rocky
Mountain region the vast herds of
wild horses cannot be satisfactorily in-
spected, and the mallein test in these
is out of the question, so that the mild-
ly-diseased animals cannot be detected.
Owners have been taught to believe
that glanders is uniformly and rapid-
ly fatal, hence take no alarm from a
feeble nasal discharge, which disap-
pears at some seasons of the year, the
animal continuing in good general
health and performing good labor year
after year. Many owners are, in their
own mind, competent judges of the
matter, and relate how much they saw
of it during the war, but are not aware
that they only saw acute cases, and
failed to note the mild cases, which,
taken from the army and sold, scat-
tered seed, the fruit of which we are
still harvesting.
IlHhcock Test In Cheese Factories.
To the Farmers' Review: A cheese
factory patron writes as follows: "Do
strippers that test 5.6 give more cheese
stuff than milk that tests 3.6. Our
factory sells cheese price and pays
fat price. They pay $1.35 for milk that
tests 5.6 and 82 cents for milk that
tests 3.6:" From these figures it can
be shown that very nearly the same
price per pound of butter fat was paid
for the 5.6 per cent fat or strippers
milk as for that which tests 3.6 per
cent fat. If $1.35 was paid for 100
pounds of milk testing 5.6 per cent
fat then 1 pound of this fat was worth
$1.35 divided by 5.6 which is 22 1-3
cents and 100 pounds of 3.6 per cent
milk at 82 cents figured in the same
way gives 22 4-5 cents as the value of
one pound of fat. Approximately the
same price for one pound of fat was
paid in each case but the richer milk
contained 2 per cent more fat in every
100 pounds than 82 cent milk and was
consequently worth 53 cents per hun-
dred pounds more to the factory. It
has been found that in average sum-
mer conditions. 1 pound of fat will
make about 2.7 pounds of uncured
cheese, or 2.6 pounds of cured cheese;
an application of these figures to these
two cases shows that the 5.6 per cent
milk would make, per 100 pounds,
about 14.5 pounds of cured cheese,
while the same amount of 3.6 per cent
milk would give only 9.3 pounds. Rich
milk makes more and a better quality
of cheese- than thin milk and it is a
good plan for all cheese factories to
sell at cheese prices and pay the pat-
rons the same price per pound of fat
as shown by the Babcock test.

A bed of Perennials can be arranged
to furnish flowers constantly for many
months, says E. B. Walton in How to

hardy and desirable. There is so much
enjoyment In watching Perennials,
from the first tiny green points push-
ing through the brown earth, to their
perfect flowering.
Most of these Perennials can be
raised from seed. If started early, in
cold frames, some of them will blossom
the first summer. Neighbors combin-
ing can send for different varieties and
exchange year-old plants. A postal-
card sent to any florist advertising in
How to Grow Flowers will bring a cat-
alogue, from which .plants and seeds
can be selected, and a postofllee money
order will bring them by mail, post-
paid, Caring for flowers gives the out-
door exercise necessary for good
health. Buy a few new varieties every
year and results will be as gratifying
as our own personal care of one city
lot for forty-one years has been. A

ers that you have not got?" revealed a
child's appreciation of the number col-
lected.
Cheap Food for Cheap Milk.—At the
New York State Dairymen's Conven-
tion Prof. I. P. Roberts made an ad
dress on "Forage and Fertility."
Why Bread Scrub FT of*.
The feed and treatment of sows,
writes A. N. Springer in Land and A
Living, have much to do with the ex-
tent of their profitable period. At no
time should they have an all com ra-
tion, but it should be supplemented
by milk, bran, slop, grass, etc. Corn
is the worst feed to give a sow that
is, for a main article of food—but often
it is the only thing they get. A sow
fed through the winter on corn alone,
or with mayhap a bucket of slop occa-
sionally, is not in fit Condition for far-
rowing healthily. Her system is apt
to be feverish and the unnatural crav-
ing will very likely lead to her de-
vouring her pigs. The pigs, too, are
very apt to be a sorry looking lot, and
if they live will never give the owner
much pleasure, pride or profit. The
remedy is to feed plenty of nitrogenous
foods. A rye patch makes excellent/
green pasture for hogs in winter.
Lacking this and other grass or root
crops, then feed plenty of bran and
shorts in slop. A liberal variety is the
key to success.
Shotes, too, up to within a month or
two of selling time should have a good
variety of feed. The last two months
the corn should predominate. But it
will always pay to give a little variety
by way of condiment. The best time
to sell hogs is when they are fat, re-
gardless of prices. Some are even now
selling half fatted stuff. Ask them why
and they say: "The corn is worth more
than the hogs." To sell a half-fatte,l
hog is not business unless there is a
weightier reason than that of prico to
ba considered. Good shelter for all
hogs at this time of year is an impera-
tive necessity. A bunch of hogs sleep-
ing in the farm corner and squealing
as only a cold pig can squeal does not,
make pleasant music to one who likei
to feel that his stock is warm and well
fed. Especially are dry, warm quarters
desirable for a sow and pigs. A cold
pig is a dissatisfied pig, and a dissatis-
fied pig will not eat as it should.
A thoroughbred or a good grade ol
hogs should always be kept. The thor-
oughbreds are the most profU"ble, and
they are so low that it looks like a
piece of foolishness to do without
them. If you are skeptical, get a
thoroughbred male and cross on your
"elm peelers" and see if you do not
have the best bunch of pigs you ever
owned. A little better than scrub care
must be awarded them. Our motto
should be "the best." for indeed the
best is none too good for one who
lives up to his privileges as a swine
breeder. Mind, I say "lives up to his
privileges," for it is a privilege to
raise hogs as fine as the finest and as
good as the best! There are four
great breeds of swine, with some oth-
ers of lesser fame, but perhaps just as
good in their sphere. The Poland-
Chinas by mere force of numbers, it
for no other reason, come first, with
perhaps the Berkshires holding second
place. The third in the list of honor is
the far-famed Chester White. And
last, but not least (at least in size), are
the Duroc-Jerseys. With such a list of
notables to choose from, why breed
scrubs?
Injuring Insect Friends.
Mr. Hartwell.— Prof. Luger spoke
last week on this topic of insects in-
jurious to fruit and the general ene-
mies of the fruit grower, and he said
that one important feature is frequent-
ly overlooked. We are liable to de-
stroy a great many of the best friends
we have in the world in this spray-
ing process. For instance, the green
worm that appears on the currant,
deposits with the wasp. The moth de-
posits the eggs along the veins of the
leaf, and those hatch into the worms
Sometimes the eggs will turn a bluish
color, usually before they are ripe to
hatch, and you will find on the inside
of them, a little wasp, the deadly ene-
my of the worm, and if you spray for
the worm, you spray for the wasp and
destroy your best friend
Mr. Bryant.—Would you advise let-
ting your gooseberries go and trust to
the wasp?
Mr. Hartwell.—He gave that as an
illustration of what is true otherwise.
Discussion at Northern Illinois Hor-
ticultural Meeting.
Runners of Strawberries.—Whether
early or late runners on strawberry
plants are to be used for the succeed-
ing crop is a question worthy of con-
sideration. E. A. Riehl says that the
early runners should be allowed to
grow, and then there will be few if
any late ones to cut off. Some vari-
eties of strawberries have the habit of
bearing the next year's crop only on
the early runners, and if these early
runners are not allowed to grow there
will in such cases be a total failure
of the second year. There are other
varieties that will bear fruit no mat-
ter how late runners are used.
Good Soils.—According to Professor
Ansted, a good soil should be com-
posed of nearly equal parts of the three
earths, sand, clay and lime; it should
contain a certain quantity of decom-
posing vegetable and animal matter;
it should take up moisture and give it
back to the air without much difficulty;
I it should have depth sufficient to per-
I mit the roots of the plant to sink and
extend without coming to rock, to * -
| ter or to some injurious earth; the sub-
j soil should be moderately porous, but
not too much so; and in case of need
the subsoil should be able to improve
the soil by admixture with it.
