.

. In the presence of 7,000-

of the chief men and women of hisrealm and of the representatives ofnearly every civilized nation on theglobe , George V. was crowned king ofGreat Britain Thursday. The cere-mony

¬

took place In Westminster Ab-bey

¬

and never was that edifice thestage of a more brilliant and impos-ing

¬

spectacle. As the crown of St.Edward was placed on the monarch'shead by the archbishop of Canterbury ,

the big cannon of the Tower roaredout and within and without the abbeythe shout of "Long live King George"-resounded. .

From the earliest hours of the morn-Ing

-

the population of London and thehundreds of thousands of visitors hadbeen moving toward the royal routefrom Buckingham Palace to Westmin-ster

¬

Abbey. As soon as the seats inthe numerous stands were filled , gateswere closed that kept out the rabble ,

and then the throngs tried to crowd in-

to¬

the streets adjoining the route.From pole to pole throughout the en-

tire¬

distance gay colored bunting wasstrung , and the whole city was stream-Ing

-

with flags.Along the Mall and all the way from

the palace to the abbey troops werestanding , company upon company,

British troops of every shade of color ,

V living symbols of the countries andpeoples over which the new king andemperor reigns. On every side bandswere playing patriotic m\7sic , and thedin of cheering was continuous andoverwhelming.

Procession From the Palace.-

As.

the hour for the coronation ap-

proached¬

the waiting thousands firstsaw the arrival of the gentlemen ap-

pointed¬

to act as ushers during theceremony. These were led by theearl marshal , the duke of Norfolk.Then the nobility entitled to seats inthe Abbey began to come. Most of thepeers and peeresses rode in statecoaches that have been used by theirfamilies for many years. These car-riages

¬

, repainted and regilded. weredrawn by four horses apiece. Eachwas accompanied by outriders andfootmen in gorgeous liveries stood onthe .rail behind. Each peer as hepassed was greeted with cheers and

King George V.

often with familiar greetings that setthe crowds off in roars of laughter , foreven the solemnity of the occasioncould not restrain the irreverent hu-humor of the cockneys.

Not all the nobility rode in coaches ,

however , for the king had permittedone violation of precedent and givenpermission for the use of automobilesby those who have discarded horses.This was done reluctantly, and therewere not many motors cars in the longprocession of vehicles.

The lord mayor and his suite , intheir gorgeous robes and regalia , werethe next to pass toward the Abbey.

King and Queen Appear.Now tfc bells of many churches

pealed out , and the people knew theking and queen were coming. Fromthe moment their majesties emergedfrom Buckingham palace there was acontinuous roar of cheers that accom-panied

¬

them all the way to the Abbey.Their approach was heralded by the"king's bargemaster and twelve water-men

¬

, wearing quaint medieval tunics ,

knee breeches and stockings , all scar-let

¬

, with the crown and badges em-blazoned

¬

in gold on their breasts , andwearing low buckled shoes and black-velvet caps. Immediately behind themcame the closed carriages of the royalparty , every one drawn by splendidhorses gorgeously caparisoned.Through the windows of the greatJumbering state coach the people couldjet a glimpse of the king and queen.

Following their majesties rode theousehold troops and especially picked

military bodies. Field Marshal Vis-

tount-

Kitchener was at the head of-

iie headquarters staff , as he was atthe coronation of King Edward. Inthis part of the procession , too , rodemany Indian princes and maharajahs

DOtentafoi of England's widelv

scattered dominion* . Their splendidrobfls glittered with Jewel ? and theyadded much to the magnificence of theparade. But the man who , next tothe king , received the loudest andwarmest applause was Lord Roberts ,

for the people love "Bobs" and theiraffectionate greetings almost made thagrizzled hero of a hundred campaignsblush.

Arrival at the Abbey.Waiting outside the west door of

Westminster Abbey were the archbish-ops

¬

of Canterbury and York and alarge number of bishops , and when'the king and queen approached theyfirst entered the church , followed im-

mediately¬

by the Prince of Wales andhis suite. As the monarchs passed in-

to¬

the abbey the choir sang an anthem.Their majesties moved through thechoir to the theater and after kneelingin prayer , seated themselves in thechairs of state.

The first action of the coronationservice , the presentation of the kingto the people for recognition , is a sur-vival

¬

of ancient Teutonic usage. Ac-

companied¬

by the great officers ofstate , the archbishop of Canterburywent to each side of the theater inturn , saying : "Sirs , I here present

Queen Mary.

unto you King George , the undoubtedking of this realm ; wherefore , all youwho are come this day to do yourhomage , are you willing to do thesame ? " The king meanwhile stoodup by his chair and turned to eachside , and the people acclaimed himwith cries of "God save King George. "

Then followed the litany , the com-munion

¬

service and a short sermonpreached by the archbishop of York,

after which the oath was administer-ed

¬

to the king by the archbishop of-

Canterbury. .

The Anointing and Coronation.King George now was divested of

his crimson robes by the lord greatchamberlain and seated himself inthe chair of King Edward I. , whichcontains the ancient "stone of des ¬

tiny." The dean of Westminsterbrought from the altar the goldenampulla and spoon , and the arch-bishop

¬

anointed him on the head , thebreasts and the palms of both hands ,

and blessed him. The king was nextInvested with the coloblum sindonls-of fine linen and the supertunlca ofcloth of gold , his heels were touchedwith the golden spurs and the swordof state was girded upon him , afterwhich the armill and robe royal ofcloth of gold were put upon him. Inturn , then , his majesty was given theorb , the king's ring , the glove and thetwo scepters.

All was ready now for the eupremeact The archbishop placed St. Ed-ward's

¬

crown upon the altar and de-

livered¬

a short prayer , and then , sup-ported

¬

by the other clergy , placed thecrown upon the king's head. At thatinstant the trumpets sounded , .thecongregation shouted "Long live KingGeorge" and the peers and kings ofarms put on their coronets.

The inthronization was a handsomepart of the ceremonies. The kingwas lifted up into his throne by thearchbishops , the bishops and certainpeers , and all the great officers andthose who bore the swords , the scep-ters

¬

and other regalia grouped them-selves

¬

about the steps of the throne.Next the princes and peers did theirhomage , led by the archbishop ofCanterbury and the prince of Wales.Each of these and the premier duke ,

marquis , earl , viscount and baronkissed the king upon the cheek.

The anointing and crowning ofQueen Mary was a short and simpleceremony. Following the example ofQueen Alexandra , she was anointedon the head only. She was Investedwith the ring , was crowned by thearchbishop of York and received thescepter and the Ivory rod with thedove.

Few Americans in the Abbey.-Of

.

all the Americans who havebeen attracted to London by the fes-tivities

¬

of the coronation season , onlya very few were admitted to theAbbey. These included PresidentTaft's special ambassador , John HaysHammond , and Mrs. Hammond ; Maj.-Gen.

.. Greely and Rear Admiral Vree-

land , representing the army andnavy , and the latter's secretary ; Am-bassador

¬

Whitelaw Reid and Mrs.Reid and the attaches and secretariesof the embassy , Pierpont Morgan andless than a score of American womenwho married English peers.

One fact connected with the coro-nation

¬

was the subject of some amusedcomment. Thje was that King George ,

who is quite the reverse of a giant ,

had selected four of the shortestknights of the gat r to hold the gol-

den¬

canopy over him during theanointing. They were the earl of-

Cadogan , Lord Roberts , Lord Elginand Lord Rosebery. These four peerswere the only ones arrayed in thegorgeous robes of the order of **>

tarter.

TO SECURE MOISTURE

Mulch Blanket Formed by Prop-

er

¬

Use of Cultivator.

Rough Cultivation impedes Run-Off ,

Prevents Mud Forming and CausesRain to Soak in Effect of

Summer Tilling.-

By

.

( B. R. PARSONS , in the Dry Farm-ing

¬

Congress Bulletin. )Soil and water take up more space

than soil alone , therefore when themoisture dries out it leaves a void.This void is represented by an in-

finite¬

number of fine crevices or crackswhich zig-zag in every direction.

After a storm , when the sun comesout , the surface of the earth underthe magnifying glass begins to wrinkleas it dries. Next day these wrinklesbegin to develop into well-definedcracks or fissures which go deeperand deeper every day as the grounddries out and contracts from the sur-face

¬

down. These crevices allowingthe free circulation of air as far asthey go , cause very rapid evaporation.-

As.

we go deep into the subsoil awaybelow these cracks , the evaporation isvery slight.

During the drouth of 1908 on a pieceof summer fallowed land , the loss ofmoisture at three feet below the sur-

face¬

was not more than 1 per cent , a-

month. . This , of course , demonstratesthe advantage of holding your mois-

ture¬

in the right place.-By

.

using the cultivator we form amulch of earth in the granular condi-tion

¬

which , being loose , settles as themoisture goes out of it without form-

ing¬

cracks , and not only checks andplugs up the crevices already formed ,

but prevents the formation of freshones.-

If.

you ask the question , What con-

stitutes¬

"dry farming ?" ninety-ninemen out of a hundred will answer :

The conservation of moisture , but ifyou happen to strike a dry farmer ofexperience who understands his busi-ness

¬

, he will tell you that the accumu-lation

¬

of moisture is the first half ofdry farming and the conservation ofmoisture the second half. Those whofarm on the conservation theory onlywill argue that smooth cultivation isthe best because it exposes less sur-

face¬

to the atmosphere and thereforecauses less evaporation. This theoryis correct as far as it goes , but if weuse smooth cultivation in a cloud-burst

¬

country we cannot accumulatehalf as much moisture as we can withrough cultivation , which impedes run-

off¬

, prevents mud forming and causesthe rain to soak in.

They are beginning to find thesethings out at the experiment station.-In

.

a late bulletin from the departmentof agriculture we are told that sum-

mer¬

tilling is not much of a successexcept for winter crops , and they findthat spring crops usually do as wellplanted in the ordinary way. The factis , summer tilling conserves moisturebut does not accumulate it. Continualtilling creates too fine a mulch ; mudforms and holds the moisture insteadof allowing it to penetrate. It Is liketrying to get water into a flour sack.-

As.

far as spring crops are concerned ,

another factor intervenes , and that isthe natural packing of the soil. Ifsummer fallowed land is not planteduntil the following spring , the plowingis then about a year old and theground much too solid for planting.-

F.

.

. D. Farrel , formerly in charge ofthe Nephi (Utah ) experiment station ,

says Chat during a heavy rain of twoinches and five-tenths , only five-tenthswas caught in the summer tilled land

and we can well understand it butin the summer fallow plowed teninches deep and cultivated rough withthe large-size corn cultivator bladeswhich leave a distinct furrow , we cancatch all this rain as it comes. It willpenetrate perhaps six or eight inches.

The summer fallow should be culti-vated

¬

just enough to keep the weedsout , no more. If there is any slope ,

the cultivation should be alwaysacross , not up and down with It. Mag-

nificent¬

spring crops can be raised onthe summer fallow , provided it hasbeen treated as above for the ac-

cumulation¬

of moisture , but it mustbe plswed again before planting , notnecessarily as deep as the first plow-

ing¬

, for ground packs too hard intwelve months to secure the best re-

sults.¬

.

For spring crops we usually find fallplowing left rough until the frost isout of the ground the best and mostprofitable treatment.-

If.

the disc is used for cultivatingthe summer fallow , the land should be-

disced as deep as possible and thencross-disced without any lapping ; bythis means the surface is hollowedout in squares like a Checker boardand will absorb any quantity of mois-ture

¬

as it comes.

Growing Cabbage.Danish Ballhead cabbage seed should

be sown in most sections not laterthan the first of May. This variety re-

quires¬

a long season for full develop¬

ment. Prepare the ground in such amanner that there will be an abun-dant

¬

supply of moisture for the ger-mination

¬

of the seeds.

Poor Fences Harmful.Poor fences are always letting the

stock leak through into the corn crop.And very often the loss doesn't stopat the amount of corn destroyed.Sometimes a valuable animal securesan overdose of corn.

TO PREVENt SOIL BLOWING

Planting of Windbreaks Will TemperForce of Winds and Prevent LOBS

of Much Land.

The older a country becomes andthe drier the season is , the greater Isthe danger of the wind blowing awaythe best part of the soil. The windierthe country , and the less timber andhedge rows and windbreaks there arethe greater the danger of blowing,

says Wallace's Farmer. There is notmuch danger of it when a new prairiesod is broken up , because the vegeta-ble

¬

fiber holds the soil together in asurprising way.- There is not muchdanger when the land is well sup-plied with vegetable matter throughthe application of manure or in anyother way. The danger increases withthe absence of windbreaks and withthe decrease of vegetable matter inthe soil through continual cultivation.The danger is always greater whenthe surface of the land is smooth , asafter it has been rolled or grain hasbeen harrowed in rather than disked.This will indicate the best method ofprevention.-

We.

are told that there are largeareas in Canada where the land hasbeen farmed a number of years , wherea warranty deed , no matter by whomgiven , will not hold the land. Thesame condition of things will exist inthe newly settled west , particularly inthe semi-arid section , if the land isgiven over continuously to the cultiva-tion

¬

of crops.-A

.

good soil contains only about twoper cent , of vegetable matter , andwhen this is reduced to one per cent. ,

which will certainly be the case if arational system of farming is not al-

lowed¬

, these soils will blow whenthere is a wind. Hence the remedyis : Keep your soil in some way asfull of vegetable matter as it was whenthe raw prairie was first broken up.

Plant windbreaks. We were greatlyimpressed thirty years ago with thedifference in the force of the winds Inthe adjoining counties of Madison andAdair. Madison county was settled upmany years before Adair , and when-ever

¬

we passed from Madison intoAdair county we noticed that thewinds had increased force. In the earlysettlement of Madison county , wind-breaks

¬

were planted , thus causing thewinds to rise as they passed over ,

leaving the fields in a comparativecalm , while the prairies were wind ¬

swept. One can scarcely realize thedifference that a windbreak each milewould make in the force of the winds.Hence the planting of windbreaks ,

even if only around the house andbarns , but much more if in long beltsto the west , will temper the force ofthe winds and prevent soil blowing.

Next , avoid leaving a smooth sur-face

¬

for the winds to blow over. Inthese sections no roller which leavesthe land smooth should be used forany purpose , unless immediately fol-

lowed¬

- by the harrow. In sections inany part of the country where blowingis to be anticipated , the broadcastseeder should never be used , but al-

ways¬

the drill , thus leaving the sur-face

¬

rough , and in a measure prevent-ing

¬

blowing. The main thing , how-ever

¬

, is to keep the soil plentifullysupplied with vegetable matter , whichcan be done only by the adoption of a-

rotation. .

HOED CROP PROFITABLE

Will Accomplish All That Bare FallowPossibly Can and Still Show Con-

siderable¬

More Profit.-

By

.

( AV. M. KELLEY. )The more I study the value of in-

tense¬

culture and thorough cultivationgiven some hoed crop the more I havecome to appreciate its value in ourcrop rotations. No practical farmer ,

who has given some hoed crop thor-ough

¬

cultivation during the whole of agrowing season has failed to note thegood effects upon the succeeding cropsin the rotation that they are prac-ticing.

¬

.

Years ago the old practice of baresummer fallowing found favor inmany farming sections , but during re-cent

¬

years the decreased price of farmproducts and the decreased cost oflabor has made its use actually pro-hibitive

¬

, besides the practical farmershave discovered that a hoed crop willaccomplish all that a bare fallow pos-sibly

¬

can and still pay better than anyother crop that is raised in the ro-tation.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Sheep increase the value of a farm.Keep the ewes in clean shedu and

feed oats , bran and oil meal.More mules die of accident zmd old

age than from disease.Breeding young ewes leads to a

weakening of the flock.Ewes should not be used for breed-

ing¬

before a year and a half old.Strong , vigorous pigs when a week

old will care for themselves , barringaccidents.

Uniformity in the size of a* bunchof hogs has a great deal to do with theprice they will bring.

Because sheep have warm coats , itdoes not follow that they can be ex-posed

¬

to wet and storms.When the boar pigs are about 5

months old they should be separatedfrom the rest of the herd.-

A.

field of swaet corn sown broadcastin June will make fine feed In the fall ,

as the pigs are extremely fond of it.When a hog reaches 200 pounds in

weight it requires extra good care andan expert feeder to continue to lay onflesh at a profit.-

Well Domesticated.Judge Parry in the course of a

sketch of his judicial duties statesthat he had learned to sympathizewith domestic frailties. "I was oncerebuking a man for backing up hiswife in what was not only an absurdstory , but one in which I could see hehad no belief. 'You should be morecareful , ' I said , 'and I tell you candidlyI don't believe a word of your wife's-story. . ' 'You may do as you like , ' hesaid , mournfully , 'but I've got to. ' "
