Hero of tho Talplng RsbslMon Ron dtrod China Inestimable Service Chinese Erect Monument to Hit Memory. One of the greatest of military romances Is suggested by tbe action of the committee on In expenditures tbe state department in looking Into the Iran piss -- auction whereby about i:iC8,000 was paid to John forW. Pouter, mer secretary of state, for himself and tbe heirs of Gen. Frederick Townsend Ward, the hero of the Talplng rebellion. In tbe newspaper dispatches the word "general" lias been placed In quotation marks, and Ibis gallant commander baa been alluded to aa "soldier of fortune," That he may have been In one Sonne Is true, but In tbe sense that be rendered great yet helpless country tbe most Inestimable of services he Is entitled to rank among the great commanders of bis time. Frederick Townsend Ward 'was born In Salem, Mass., la 1831. He became ship broker In New York, but appeared to begin his career of world-widfame In Shanghai In I860. The Talplng rebellion bad broken out and Ward went to the government with the proposition that if tbe gov ernment would give blm $10,000 he would capture tho town of Sun Klang, near Shanghai, then held by the rebels. Tho money was promised, and in short time bo gathered together f miscellaneous band of two hundred foreigners and with them went out and overthrew five thousand rebels. He received bis $10,000 and was made a mandarin of t' e fourth class Ward was at first distrusted by the IJrltlsh officers In command ol Shanghai, but finally waa permitted to cooperate with them and tbrougr his energy succeeded In clearing ur. the country for 40 miles or more around tbe city. He disappeared completely froir sight for ft time, and turned up again at the head of three Chinese regl ments. Ho took tho field again, bit army waa augmented from day to day and be won ft succession of victories which made blm a mandarin of the first class, and gave him the remark able title of "admiral general" tbo highest tbe grateful Chinese could be stow on blm. The civil war bad then broken out in tne United Statea, and Ward Is re ported to have offered Secretary $10,000 for tbe Union cause, and to have prepared to start home. Rut he waa ahot In 1863, and tr.e Chin ese not only built a monument ovei his grave, but memorialized in stone the scenes of several of his victories. Probably because of his Intention tc come to tbe United States he had converted hla fortune, whatever It was. Into drafts and negotiable securities. They were on his person wben he was killed, and are supposed tc have been stolen by an Englishman However that may be, his family In tbe United States he had married a Chinese wife, but had no children never received a copper for his services. The army which Ward bad created was then taken by "Chinese Gordon." who, after several yeara of fighting put down the rebellion and achieved International fame. It waa Gordon whe reaped the glory, but Ward who laid the foundation. When ths Doxer Indemnity was paid the United States by the Chinese government many claims besides those strictly apertalnlng to the Box er uprising were Included In the awards. Among them was this $384, 000 for the heirs of General Frederick Townsend Ward. e 1a VALUE OF DUST MULCH rtjf Representative Rauch. lov La could not amoke the manufactured kind.

Ordinarily when one thinks of tbe conditions' that are Imperative to of a farm Insure the production crop of any kind that may bo grown, be thinks of tbe fertile soli as the most Important of all. And it is. of course, absolutely necessary that a soil with abundant plant food I planted on to get ft crop. Rut tbo soli, or rather the plant food, although absolutely necessary, It Is not ft bit more so than the nooded amount of moisture, says a writer In the Farm Progress. Fortunately. water is In sufficient supply as a rule to make tho ordinary crops on most of tho arable laud. Of course, In the arid regions tho water supply Is obtained from streams created mainly by melting rule, the Irrigation snows, and as companies know Just about what water can bo supplied, and the man who has ft farm on which bo can put water from an Irrigation plant la far more certain of results than one who feta his water supply by the4 acts of Providence, The Irrigation farmer Is therefore far more certain aa to tho outcome of his 'crops than those In the rain belt, wbo get little or much water, according to tho rainfall. Tbo water supply Is therefore tbe most uncertain and most Important In the greater portion of the arable lands of this country. This Is so well known that no farmer who has farmed on irrigated land, having an abundance of water, Is willing to go back to tho old method and put his dependence on "Providence." It Is ft most Important point to known whether, under normal conditions, farming In any humid section can be as safe, free from risk, and profitable aa the business can be biade when one can turn on the water as he needs without reference to rainfall. I think that all farmers who have atudled the water question In connection with crop making, will agree with me, that great deal can be done to conserve tbe moisture from all natural sources, and that often a fairly good crop can be made by proper management It la hardly safe to say that the rainfall that la usual In the spring ,1s ' sufficient to make ft crop without more rain, but all observant . men have learned that the rational ' Conservation of moisture can often make good crops, when by the neglect of this, they will be certain to cause ft failure. This Is a very important point, and in some seasons it Is absolutely vital to the making of a fair crop. There is no mystery about this; tbe point to keep In mind Is to prevent evaporation of the water from the soil. It cannot be done entirely; much water will evaporate In spite of us, and much will go on down below the reach of plant roots; but In seasons or only ordinary drought It Is possible to conserve enough moisture to make a fair crop of corn, tobacco, potatoes and other hoed crops. Tbe "dust mulch." or blanket of finely pulverized soil on the surface, say three to four Inches deep, will stop the waste of water almost entirely. In fact, if the soil Is kept stirred on the surface quite often, it may be truthfully aald that all tbe moisture may be kept in the ground for the use of the crops. Of course, we can never tell at the beginning of the season whether It is going to be ft wet season, or a dry one, but If ft man cultivates with reference to keeping the moisture In the soil. It will be all the better In case of a very wet season, and It may be the salvation of the crop In case of severe drought. So It Is wise to keep this in mind. It is therefore very Important for one to plant no more land than he can cultivate perfectly, and always tn a dry season to keep the soil stirred to a depth of two or three Inches. No matter whether the cultivation Is actually needed or not, stirring as often as possible a few Inches of the surface will stop the escape as absolutely as a cover of sheet iron. Joseph Hughes, Jone (VI. els. Dr. J.W.Hagan During the same years tbe oat crop on summer fallowed land gave an average of 82.33 bushels per acre. During three of those years it went over the one hundred bushel mark. In 1903, on a rainfall of 15.55 inches, It was 119.2 bushels per acre. These facts are very striking. They show what may be expected In dry areas of tbo semi-arinorthwest where tho best of cultivation Is given to the land. In 1892, on ft rainfall of 6.92 inches, the yield was 51.6 bushed. In 1894 on a rainfall of 3.9 lnchea it was 34 bushels, and In 1899 on a rainfall of 9.44 Inches it waa 84 bushels. It should bo stated, however, that tbe returns in wheat were not exactly proportionate to the precipitation. In 1900, for instance, with a precipitation of 17.74 Inches the yield of wheat was only 17.49 bushels, and In 1907 with a rainfall of 13.17 inches the yield was 18 bushels per acre. Other factors, therefore, play an Important part in determining yields In dry areas. It should also be borne in mind that the yields given relate to crops grown on summer fallow land. This would mean that a return of 16.48 bushels was the return for each year in wheat, and that 41.16 bushels was the return in oats. The one crop grown In two years would involve considerably less labor than two crops grown In the same period. The summer fallowing of the land also prevents it from be coming foul with weeds. d Off, at WU Drsf CV Isildiai Spanish Fork, Utah Ind. Phone Bell Phono 11 on. Phritcltn BMldeoo.

H. BROWN, ALLEN H. R, INDEPENDENT Following the binder with the disk harrow, driving close to tho binder, in the space between the machine and the last row of bundles, produces a soil that checks evaporation. Made immediately after the grain Is cut, there is no loss of moisture at all. Farmers short of teams can wait until the grain is cut and then can disk the ground around the shocks, or in the stubble following the header. This not only stops evaporation, but puts the ground in fine condition for plowing later on. Moisture goes rapidly out of freshly plowed ground, left loose. Hnrrow attachments are made for the plows which pulverize the furrow as soon as it is made, creating a mulch on the freshly plowed surface that stops much of the evaporation. Some farmers take one section of a harrow, tie an extra horse to the plow team and let him draw the harrow over the fresh turned furrows. This is an economical method and the land gets harrowed two to four times. Other wheat growers unhitch from the plow before noon and then harrow what has been plowed, say up to 11 o'clock, Those who doubt this method of following the same plan in the afterfrom suffering by noon, so that each half crops saving day's plowing drought should try this method Is harrowed Immediately after takes It but labor, it thoroughly. may save the crops.
