By W. O. BOYCE. SYDNEY, N. S. W., Australia. — New South Wales is the mother state of Australia. It has a population of 2,000,000 and an area ot 310,372 square miles. It Is larger than Texas, our biggest State, by one-sixth, but with a population only half as great. It Is about one-tenth of the whole area of Australia and has 40 per cent of the population, but is not as closely settled as the state of Victoria. It has only ninety-eight men to every hundred women and at least 60 per cent of Its people live In the large towns or cities. In the United States only SO per cent of the people live in the cities over 10,000 and 70 per cent in the country towns and out on the farms. The cutting loose of the American colonies from Great Britain played a big part In the history of New South Wales, for England's jails were overflowing with |Cfa.i. :nal or political prisoners who other- j would have been transported to I America. In that extremity it was de- | cided to make the little-known land of Australia the new place to send these prisoners and in 17S8 a fleet of vessels landed 1.035 convicts at what now is the great city of Sydney, capital of New South Wale*, and there they formed the nucleus of the first penal colony in this part of the world. The discovery of Sydney's harbor. Port Jackson, followed the discovery of Botany Bay. near by. In 1770 by Capt. James Cook. The ship in which he was sailing, the Endeavor, later went ashore In the mud off Newport , R. 1., and her glorious career of adventure and discovery ended .there. CLOSE RELATIONS WITH AMERICANS. ' Relations between the t'nlted States 1 and New South Wales are probably closer than between the United States and any other state in Australia. Sydney is the logical destination for vessels from America and the distributing point for Amer-ican-made goods imported by Australia. That is why of the state's imports for a year, amounting to $200.000.0')0, 30 per cent came from the United States, more than from any other country outside he British Empire. Before the war the United States supp’ied only 13 per cent. Os New South Wales' exports for a year, amounting to $250,000,000, the United States took more than one-eighth, leading all other nations besides British possessions in absorbing shipments of wool, skins and hides and minerals other than coal, gold, silver and lead. Long before our trade with the state kad reached such proportions, however, aere was deep-rooted friendship. AmerJans had taken a leading part la the *veloptnent of the gold and coal fields f New South Wales; American engineers bad come down to put the silver and lead mines In the famous Broken Hill flistrict on a working basis. More retently American steel workers were brought in to create Australia's newest tig industry, the steel mills at Newcastle. New South Wales. The officials who put that business on Its feet, the workmen who taught the Australians the business of steel making, all came from the United States. NEW SOITH WALES , FRIENDLY TO AMERICANS. I It is no surprise, then, to And that tu New South Wales there Is an esperlatly kind feeling toward Americans tince the war. I did not find antipathy toward us anywhere in Australia, but the New South Walps people seemed Just a Uttle friendlier. Just a little more understanding of us, than in the other Rates. It is rather puzzling why for twentyfive years after the first convict settlement was established at Port Jackson, Ihe range of the Blue Mountains, a day s Journey from the coast and only 3.<i00 feet high, should have been the limit of exploration. find in the records of those early days plenty of references to trips up and down the coast and detailed descriptions of the country close to the settlement, but very little about the mountain ranges or tbe country upon Its wide table lands, and these are far v-nm flattering In fact, the explorers ranged far and made many Important llscoveries, yet neglected their own back yard. New South Wales Is divided into three •ectlons. The eastern division lies between Its rather forbidding rocky coast md the mountains. The central division takes in the plateaus of the mountains themselves, and the third or western division embraces the section which has an iverage annual rainfall of ten Inches. In this division lies the Darling River, which Joins the Murray River on the Victorian state boundary and is a part jf the continent's only Important river lystein. Between them they drain ftvelixths of the state of New South Wales and almost one-seventh of Australia, yet the Darling, running across the rtate from north to south, dwindles in Sry seasons to a rivulet and one year was almost dried up for eleven months. Its peculiar land formations give New Bouth Wales a diversified climate and even more diversified products. The Australian continent is affected by both Antarctic and tropical winds and .New South Wales gets many brands of weather and rainfalls which average over seventy inches a year in some localities ssud under ten Inches In others, in the and western parts of the state extreme heat is not unusual during the Australian summer, while in the southern part there is a chain of mountains where during the Australian winter — Junfi, Jnly and August—the people are sometimes snowbound. ' From a dry scientific I culled the rather startling statement that Mr. Kkaacluako. 7,328 feet above sea level, the
■ ■— _ —^ ~
-highest point in Australia and the place from which spring the headwaters of the Murray River, is the oldest mountain in the world: that long before other mountains had been formed by upheavals of the earth, Kosciusko reared its lonely head to a height twice that of today. I am not a geologist, I know nothing of the things upon which scientists base such deductions, but I do know that it is hard to surpass Mr. Kosciusko for grandeur and beauty. The government of New South Wales has set it aside as a playground for its people who enjoy the winter sports that is denied to most Australians, such as skiing and skating. In the same range lies Kiandra, a district of snow-covered hills fifty miles land and twenty mites wide down whose \ snowy sides Australians traveled on rude, I homemade skis before the rest of the i world discovered this thrilling sport if Australian claims are true. But the snow, unlike that of the Alps, Is never hard and frozen, for during the daytime the sun shines brightly, even in winter. Were the people of New South Wale? cut off from all the rest of the world j they would not need to suffer. The ; state's lands rroduce all the fruits of cold, temperate and tropical lands. Its j soils produce wheat, barley, corn, oats, po- j tatoes, sugarcane and vegetables In j abundance. Its mountain table lands and j slopes are covered with rich pastures upon which dairying, cattle raising and j raising of sheep for both meat and wool are carried on in large proportions Its forests yield hardwoods of the finest kind Mines yf New South Wales furnish it with iron and coal, copper, silver, tin an gold. The waters of the ocean whlel wash its 700 miles of coastline abound with food fish and from Its inland streams are taken fish which for flavor > and firmness I have found few equals. NATURE LAVISH WITH BLESSINGS. When nature was handing out h<*r blessings she was lavish when she reached the districts within the bound- 1 aries of New South Wales. It Is estimated that fifty millions out ! of two hundred million acres in the State I would be productive under cultivation. * Its present population has permitted only one-tenth of this land to be worked. Most of It is devoted ,to wheat, usually representing from two-thirds to threefourths of the whole area devoted to , crops. New South Wales is the first of the j Australian states to adopt the handling of wheat in bulk as is done in the United States. It has started in to abandon its old-fashioned method of using bass, and elevators are springing up along the railroad lines wherever wheat is grown and are clustered at the various ports from which the grain Is shipped. Its pastoral industries are the real source of the wealth of New South Wales and sheep are the backbone of the pastoral Industry This state is the woolgrowing center of the world and the loader In the production of fine merino wool. From the back of tbe 40.000.000 sheep, which it has been found about the maximum number to carry with safety, the annual clip averages about three hundred million pounds 90 per cent merino wool. Raising of lambs for meat is not done on an extensive scale. With all of her wealth In natural resources it is not surprising that New South Wales is ahead of the other states in manufacturing, both in number of industries and value of manufactures. This probably is responsible for the fact the state not only operates railroads, street j cars, waterways and harbors. but actually engages In thirteen Industries, such as timbering, brickmaking. quarrying and fishing, and except during the years of the war. has usually ended in the hole financially. The state operates the fire and police j departments, a public trust business, j irrigation schemes and labor agencies, fixes wages in various trades anil minimum living wages for both sexes and j interferes In industrial disputes by i means of an industrial court and a com- | mission of conciliation COSTS MORE TO LIVE IN SYDNEY. It costs more to live In Sydney than In any other city in Australia, accord- j ing to the findings of several investigation bodies. The very least that a family of five can live on Is svft a week for the bare necessities, and elsewhere in the state sls is the weekly minimum. It is interesting to note that food, fuel and light are cheaper than In the United States, but other things are much higher. Wages In New South Wales are fixed by law accordingly as the cost j of living changes Manufacturing Is a secondary Industry of the state, but a quarter of a billion dollars Is Invested In the 3.500 factories In New South Wales, a majority of them being located around or In Sydney. Clothing and textiles natnrally are the chief manufactured products because the state is a leader In wool, but leather, stone, clay, glass, wood, metal —particularly iron and steel—and machinery are other lines whose total Is not small. In the wholesale line agricultural produce, groceries, textiles and leather, metals and oal, building material, chemicals and dairy produce are tbe principal lines. We* left Sydney by train one evening and by breakfast the next morning we had crossed the mountain range and descended into the sheep country. We were then only 400 feet above sea level. Acres upon acres of porous red soil, of sandy plains, stunted trees, and a bewildering assortment of berbiage varying from six inches to head high—these are the things one encounters In the •‘bush country” of Australia. Miles after miles of land without sight of water except where here and there the ra'gifall lias been drained into ponds, called tanks scooped out of the low places—those are the typical conditions in the greatest ! sheep rals'ng country of the wor'.d. DESOLATE LAND AT FIRST VIEW. j “A desolate land and fit for nothing.” [ is the impression of one who sees it for the first time. Yet on a visit to Milroy
Station, a ranch of 300.000 acres 000 miles w,-st from the seacoast of New South Wales and eighty miles south of the border of the state of Queensland, I was to learn that on an average rainfall of eleven inches a year this land is Ideal for sheep, that there is food value in almost all of the herbs and trees and that even in the years when water is scarce nature provides needed moisture for the sheep in several of the many nutritiuiis weeds with which she has endowed the bush Only in those years when no rain falls at all does the sheepman worry and ship his flocks away to places where there is feed and water. At other times he has no cares, for his sheep will wax fat and grow a heavy fleece and multiply with Uttle effort on his part 1 Salt bush is one of the mainstays of the sheepman. It grows in profusion In sandy and red soil alike, a bushy weed whose branches are thick with heavy, dark green leaves one to two inches long and three feet wide. It averages one to three feet high but has varieties, called "old man salt bush,” which grows to the height of a man. The taste Is not unpleasant but belles Its name, for It is not decidedly salty. Given n field In the winter time of salt bush in which pig weed a'so grows, sheep require no other food nor water Crushed between j the fingers, the leaf of the pig weed be- j comes a moist pulp which contains both I food and drink. The weed grows to a height of about two feet and thickly. ! In times of hunger, the aboriginal na- J lives have found the pig weed—crushed i and cooked in a pot—food enough to sustain life. Next to pig weed a creeper called tar- j vine has more moisture than other of the rank growths of the Australian bush It covers the ground with a matting of vines whose tendrils are tender and Juicy. It gets its name from a slightly j tarry taste, not at all unpleasant. Crowsfoot. another feed which somewhat resembles the tomato plant, has a root like a long, thin radish, with a | bluish white meat which in time will < turn the teeth black. PREPARING FOB DRY' SEASON. Tlmotb#, a species of native clover, and j a hardy, low growing weed called “the j never fail," which thrives In even the driest of years, are other sheep foods The ejeepman who looks ahead runs a mowe over the fields which are not j nee'ed for grazing purposes, cuts all of tb berbiage indiscriminately and rakes it up for ensilage. The manner of pre serving it against a time of need is peculiarly Australian. It Is packed away In , pits dug out of the earth and salt mixed in—about forty pounds of eparse rock salt to a ton of ensilage—to keep It fron' ; fermenting, and the whole covered with j earth to make it air-tight. Ensilage preserved In this manner will keep for years. At Milroy Station we were shown a mound of earth 33 yards long and IS feet wide where in a pit 12 feet deep, ninety tons of ensilage had been stored away. These ninety tons. Manager K. Ault told me, would in an emergency feed 10.000 sheep for six weeks. It is not upon the berbiage alone, however. that tbe sheepman depends. Many of the stunted trees also make excellent food for the '•woolles.” Notable among them are the lignum bush, the supplejack, the whitewood, the wilga, the rosewood and the dogwood. The sheep eagerly eat those leaves and branches which are blown down by the wind, but quite often, particularly in years of drought, the sheepman prunes the trees and turns the sheep in on the branches. So long as one live branch Is left, the tree will not die and its branches will be replaced inside a twelvemonth. There are varieties of thistles, too, which the sheep will eat when driven to it by a scarcity of other vegetation, but not until they hav© cropped off the herbiage above ground and even pulled out the roots of other and more succulent growths and eaten them, too. The sheepman figures that It requires six acres of average bush land to feed a sheep, but at Milroy, In the years of average rainfall, as many ns 80.000 sheep have fed well on the rate of four acres 1 to a sheep. Water Is. of course, the problem for •which provision must be made. This is done by picking a low place between ridges, banking up Us sides and digging out the middle and diverting to It, by means of shallow ditches, all the water which would not naturally drain Itself into the pond, or “tank,” as the Australian calls It. Great galvanized Iron tanks, connected to windmills, are used to store water drawn from these ponds where long dry spells lower the pond levels. HOW SHEEPMAN COMBATS ENEMIES. Flies, crows, hawks and foxes—and of course, the rabbit which destroys the vegetation—are the enemies of the sheepman. The flies he combats by dipping his sheep, the meat.eating animals by poisoning with strychnine the bodies of sheep that die. while poison carts cover the range with poisoned baits for rabbits, but so protected shat the sheep and other livestock cannot get to it. Milroy Station, like other big ranches, has its own kind of sheep, bred to the greatest wool producing pitch by crossing merino ewes with rams of hardy breed. Each ewe Is bred twice a year. Os the first crop of lambs it Is figured to save 70 per cent, of tbe second crop 40 per cent of the ewes will produce lambs that will survive. Milroy seldom keeps ewes older than five years, an age at which it is estimated the wool grown has fallen below the profitable weight. At this station it is figured to obtain an average fleece of eight pounds, valued at $2.50 from each sheep which is shorn. One man, a boundary rider, who lives at one of the “out stations," as they are. ; called, is expected to keep his eye on fl.ooo sheep, the way the Australians do It. Beyond keeping fen-es In repair, inspecting the sheep and reporting conditions of flocks, pasture, water, etc., he has little to do except at times when it Is necessai# to move the sheep. Six

Wishes to Protect Only Edible Kind WASHINGTON, July 14.—The Government fears a crab shortage. Secretary of Commerce Hoover today consulted with representatives of crab fisheries of Virginia, relative to means to prevent the extinction of this edible crustacean.
miles a day is the usual rate of travel with sheep on the road. The newcomer to Australia probably will be puzzled by references to cattle or sheep "stations." For the word “station" substitute the American word •ranch" and you will understand. Few owners live on their stations, for many of these ranches are owned by syndicates 1 with many stockholders Usually a manager who has learned the business ns a "Jackaroo" (slang for ranch hand) is In charge. Those s'ation houses wbch I have seen were large, roomy affairs of wood with corrugated Iron roofs, wide, shady verandas and almost hidden from sight by trees aud flowers. At Milroy Station we had all the comforts of home during out stay. The barracks, men'*, sleeping quarters, all appear to be built on the same style —a front porch along the entire front and opening off it, neatly furnished rooms .for the hands Even bathrooms are provided with both showers and tubs. All of the buildings, including stables; storehouses. cookhouse and so on, are whitewashed. During the very hot weather sleeping porches or pavUlions, tightly screened against mosquitoes, are used. In some places I saw extra protection against the sun in the shape of flya, or tin roofs erected on supporting posts at each corner, built over the house, and ! two or three feet above its roof. ! I found that tbe large station houses were lighted by gas, generated in a carbide plant In the cellar. Most of the sheep country i<i still held in large tracts, far from towns and railroads, but at Milroy, which is typical, we found not only comforts, but actual luxuries. A telephone, gas lights from a carbide plant, shower baths, and even a splendid tennis court. It is forty miles irom a railroad, but a motor car does It in two hours except in rainy weather, when it can't be done at all. You heat a great deal in the cities about the loneliness of life in the bush, but I have yet to find a bushman who will admit it. Jlr. Boyce's article next week will be about Sydney, the capital of New South YVoles. Australia, the largest city, as well as the most important of the commonwealth.

DRUGGISTS ORDER FULL CARLOADS BE PEPGEN
Although it is true that surprising sales records have been established by various medicinal discoveries in the past, still, leading drug men of the country point out that nothing has ever equaled Pepgen—at least not In recent years. In fact, even when it is stated that the big laboratories of The American Drug Cos., at Dayton, 0., are working day and night with small hope of catdhing up with orders for Pepgen at aDy time in the immediate future, only a remote idea of the tremendous demand for this medicine is given. While this announcement was being written, one or the great, gray Pepgen airplanes was winging its way across the skies to Buffalo, N. Y., rushing a shipment of Pepgen to the Gibson-Snow Cos., Inc. This was followed at once by fast freight with a full car load of Pepgen. From the Alfred Vogeler Drug Cos. at Cincinnati, 0., comes the re-

NEW WAY TO GAIN WEIGHT FOUND BY ENGLISH AVE. WOMAN; GAINS 5 POUNDS “I have gained more than five pounds since I started taking Pepgen,’’ says Mrs. J. F. Rhine of 1134 English Avenue,
Indianapolis. “My system was In a general rundown condition. My stomach was out of order. I suffered frequently from pains in my stomach. I had headaches often. I became weak and It was hard for me to get my housework done. I had to sit down and rest often through the day. “Well, I started taking Pepgen. It slurely did me a lot of good. I am much improved now. It built up my strength. In a short
quest for the shipment of a full car load of Pepgen to that city. An<i from smaller cities also, such as Youngstown, O.; Erie, Pa., etc., come telegrams and letters urging the shipment of quantities of Pepgen at once.
