AGRICULTURAL ENGLAND.
What Mother Country Can Do in Way
, of Farming.
Great Britain is now installing her
agricultual display in the palace of
agriculture at the world's fair. This
display is distinguished from all
others in that palace chiefly by the
fact that it Is not stricUy agricultural.
England, the tight little isle, is not a
farming country. She Imports the
greater part ot her provisions for man
and beast. Consequently an attempt
by England to make a showing of
native farm products along side of
those from an American state of the
middle west would not redound to the
credit of the mother country.
Kngland's commissioners, accord, j
Ingly, have chosen another metnoa 01
proving the intimate interestof her
people in the products of the fields.
This is by the exhibition of several
complete plants for baking and the
manufacture of confections. Thus
the item of preparation and consump
tion, in relation to food products,
figure most largely in England's agri
cultural display.
The government makes an exhibit
of the results of the operation of the
institution known as Law's Agricul
tural Trust, founded some 70 years
ago through beqsuesta from John Law.
The objects of this institution are to
sonserve the uses of English soil for
farming purposes, by a scientific ro
tation of crops, special fertilization,
Tthods. etc. The government oper.
ates farms where these methods are
taught, and beneficial results have
been brought about. Practically all
farm land in England has been work
ed for many centuries. The soil
naturally becomes impoverished, and
radical measures must be taken to re
store it. To this end Law's Agricul
tural Trust has worked along the most
approved scientific lines. These
methods, with their general and
specific results, will be shown in Eng
tond's space in the palace of agricul
ture, and doubtless will prove of
curious interest to American farmers
who have more land than they can
use, and to whom a fertilizer, in most
cases, is an unknown quantity.
In England all land is plowed deep.
: usually 13 inches of the soil being
turned. But in spite of this depth of
cultivation, centuries of crop.growing
have sapped the life of the soil. Fer
tilization insures such crops as are
grown, among which barley is promi
nent. In England barley and wheat
are tailed "corn." Practically no
maize Is grown.
But the baking and confection plants
which will occupy space in the British
section ot the palace of agriculture,
as exhibited by private English firms,
will serve to show how scientifically
and excellently the Briton knows how
to prepare for consumption the pro
ducts shipped in from America, Spain,
Maderia and other lands. These
plants in actual working operation
every day, cannot fail to attract attention.
The British space in the palace em
braces 20,000 square feet, at the right
f th northern entrance. At the out
set Britain had no idea of making a
disnlav in this building. The first
appropriation for participating in the
world's fair was $150,000. At that
time it was Intended to confine the ex
hibits to art and education. As time
went f.n the interest of England in the
exposition grew and a second appro
priation was made, increasing, the
amount to $400,000. Later the appro
priation has been Increased to about
three-quarters of a million dollars, and
Great Britain is Installing exhibits in
all of the great buildings except ma
chinery hall building.

GAMBLERS LOSE HEAVILY.
Indians, Some of Them, Have Not
Enough Blankets to Keep Warm.
Tacoma, April 12. After a week's
exciting sport, the first big gambling
games Indian tribes in this locality
have had for years, came to a close
yesterday. The tribes participating
were the Nisquallys. Phyallups, Mud
Bays, Squaxon Islanders, Skokomish
and Indians from Hood's canal.
In winning the games the Nisquallys
have come into much property of the
other tribes. It is said many losers
had scarcely enough blankets left to
keep them warm. The gamblln was
in a large shack on the Nlsqually river
about four miles above the Northern
Pacific bridge on the Olympia branch.
Datectlve Wappenstein says
s-!ven years ago Childs was wrested
with Joe Pigott, a notorious pick,
pocket, for robbing a man on the step
of a prominent bank In San Francis
co. The thieves took $100 In bills out
miui-i oocket. as he was walk
ing down the front steps of the bank
and got away with the money.
rhiids and Pigott were eventuany
arrested for the crime and convicted.
They were sentenced to long terms In
the Folsom prison and were discharg
ed within the -ast year. Pigott is a
brother of Annie Pigott, who waa re
cently tried for the murder of her hus
band in this city.
Several months ago Detective Wap
pensteln noticed Child and a number
of men under suspicious circumstanc.
e cn the olaiform of a railroad car
at the depot. The men were Jostling
passengers and actually robbing..
Wappensteln and another officer ar
rested four of the men and sent them
to the city Jail. The train pulled out
iefore the name of anyone who had
been robed could be found, and no
witnesses ever appeared.
The men were taken Into the police
court and tried on vagrancy charges.
Sentences of 30 days were imposed,
but -uispendid with the understanding
that the men leave the city.
Yesterday Childs was seen for the
,ima in,.- hn returned to the
iiifli ii.i.v-
city.
