In this country Southwest Texas

Moreover In making that number of husbandmen comfortable there would not be the slightest crowding. As a matter of fact every one of them would have forty acres; a farm at least four

times too Innrn whera the land is ir

rigated. Ten acres of land is about

all the farmer In Southwest Texas should tackle under Irrigation, for that much he can most profitably cultivate without being in need of help that he! can not get Southwest Texas comprises no less than 37 counties with a total areal extent of 60,000 square miles, or to be exact 32,344,434 acres. Of this vast expanse of hill and prairie there are just 11.13 per cent of the whole. Divide the remainder of 29,061,647 acres by forty and you will find that the country needs just 740,041 farmers. Economists including Col. Roosevelt, are authority for the statement that the average man can make a fine living for his family on five acres. This, too Jappltea to latitudes where one crop per year Is the rule. In Southwest Texas it is possible to grow alerops of all the cereals and such vegetables as potatoes, cabbage, onions. Alfalfa gives from seven to nine cuts per year; sorghum will do the same and so will almost every other forage

plant Smaller garden truck flourishes

throughout the year and it is possible to raise beets, salads, and the .like, together in the same bed and repeat the process six times. This really means that the man having ten acres of land has in comparison with his northern colleague at least thirty acres, while

forty acres In the hand of one man

will be equal to at least eighty elsewhere. Of course, multiplicity of this kind

in Southwest Texas depends upon in

dustry first and Irrigation second. The farmer with forty acres of averagely good land can get In two crops on all of it if he goes about It properly. To do this he will not need an artificial water supply. But to do the best with

his soil he should try to get water on

it. This may be done in three ways,

Along the rivers he can pump the water on his land, or get it there by

gravity; in case there is a "draw" on his land he can Impound enough rain water to supplement very effectively

the supply that falls from the clouds,

and last, but far from least, ne can

dig wells. A shallow well and a gasoline engine, especially If reinforced by a reservoir, will take care of a large

acreage and an artesian well will put

him high, and dry above ail aaversity

Every one of these 740,041' farmers ! should follow literally the advice to dwell tinder their own vine and fig

And you are not the only lady who thinks so, Mrs. Baker.

Thousands, like you, have written to tell of the wonderful benefit Cardui has been to them. Cardui contains no minerals, or other powerful drugs. It contains no glycerin or other mawkish-tasting ingredients. It is just a pure, natural extract, of natural vegetable herbs, that have been found to regulate the womanly functions and strengthen the female system. AU druggists sell Cardui.

COL. ROOSEVELT AND 8. S. KAISERIN AUGUST E VICTORIA.

especially among the editors of the nationalist press, for on the following day he made his sensational speech at

the university of Cairo, denouncing the assassination of Boutros Pasha Ghali, the premier, who had been murdered but a month before by a nationalist sympathizer. He said that the assassin stood at the pinnacle of infamy, and that "those who are apologizing for or condoning his act occupy the same bad eminence." As the majority of the students at the university are nationalists, and as Egyptian political conditions resemble a smouldering volcano, the speech caused an eruption. Of course the Colonel came in for his share of the criticism, but at the same time the university conferred on him its highest honorary degree "in recognition of his eminent services to humanity." The following day about two hundred students paraded around the ho-

the Methodists of Rome. Colonel Roosevelt immedlataely cancelled an engagement to hold a reception at the American embassy. After being the guest of honor at a score of different receptions, the Roosevelts left Rome on April ? for Spain, where Colonel and Mrs. Roose velt had planned to drive over the same route which they had visited ou journey from Spezia to Genoa by was interrupted by hundreds of villagers who turned out and lined the route to pay homage to the distinguished visitors. On April 1 Colonel Roosetelt . left Genoa for Port Maurizio, where he was given one of the most enthusiastic receptions in Italy. Besides being

accorded citizenship honors, a newboulevard in the town was named after him. Three days later he held the famous conference with Gifford Pinchot in the forest adjoining the town. Although speculation has been rife ever since as to what actually transpired, the talk of these two champions of conservation is as much a mystery as ever. Journeyed to Venice. From here the Roosevelt party Jour-

(American News Service) New York, June 18. When the S. S

Kaiserin Auguste : Victoria steamed

slowly 'into New York' harbor today

with Colonel Roosevelt and his fam

ily aboard, and docked at her pier in

Hoboken one of the most remarkable

and spectacular journeys ever made

by an ex-president of the United States or any private citizen of this

country, came to an end. Only the famous European tour of General Grant could be in any way compared with it, and this lacked the pyrotechnic features which characterized the Roosevelt tour. One year, two months

and twenty-seven days have elapsed since the ex-president sailed from New York for Africa, and scarcely a day has passed that he has not been in the public eye. Only when he and his

party were hidden In the thickest jungles of the Dark Continent, hundreds of miles from a newspaper correspondent or a telegraph station, were the news dispatches abbreviated

and even then the killing of an elephant, a lion or some other denizen of the forest by the mighty nimrod, was duly chronicled.

Never Touched Him. Despite the predictions of alarmists

that he would succumb to fever or

the .poisonous sting of some jungle in

sect, the proverbial Roosevelt luck remained with him, and he emerged from the jungle in excellent health to

find the royal arms of Europe extend

ed to him.

The doors of kings were thrown

open. European monarchs vied with

one another in entertaining their dem

ocratic guest. His transit from city to city and country to country partook

of a nature of a triumphal tour.

The press in every country heralded his approach and at every station

where he stopped he was greeted by

the enthusiastic cheering of large

crowds.

In every country through which he passed he was welcomed by Its rulers

and leading statesmen, and gave the conclusion of his trip an official tinge i

by acting as special ambassador of the United States to the funeral of the late King Edward, of England. His entertainment, however, by European royalty was not the most

spectacular feature of his trip. These i

Incidents were furnished by air. Roosevelt himself, and began on his emergence from the jungle. He had scarcely thrown aside his kahki suit for his frock coat and high hat. when he delivered his famous speech at Cairo criticising the Egyptian Nationalists, and denouncing the assassination of Boutros Pasha Ghali. The storm of criticism was still at its height, when the news was cabled that the ex-president had cancelled his audience with the Pope, on account of certain con

ditions that the Vatican imposed. This was quickly followed by his re

fusal to visit the Methodist Mession !

in Rome. Address at Sorbonne. In Paris he delivered a lecture at the Sorbonne, emphasizing the gravity of the race suicide question. This was followed by lectures In Christiana and Berlin. The next bomb shell fell in London, where, after being extended the freedom of the city at Guildhall, he criticised England's rule of Egypt, and brought down a storm of criticism from all sides. In delivering bis last lecture at Oxford University

on June 7, he was compelled to stop owing to an affection of the throat. The high regard in which he is held by the leading educators of the world is reflected in the honors conferred on him by the various universities. The University of Cairo conferred on him the highest degree in that institution, from King Frederick's Univer

sity at Christiana he received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy; at Ber

lin University he received a similar honor; Cambridge honored him with

the degree of Doctor of Laws, and Oxford conferred the degree of Doctor

of Civil Law.

The scientific results of the expedition have exceeded all expectation, nearly 120,000 specimens having been gathered. Of mammals 1,897 specimens have been secured ranging in size from elephants to mice. There are 4,000 birds in the collection, 2,000 reptiles and 500 fish, not to mention the enormous miscellaneous collection. Colonel Roosevelt alone is credited with 8 rhinoceroses, 9 elephants, 7 lions, several j'lraffes. 4 wildebeasts, 4 hippotami, S buffaloes, 5 topi and 4 elands. Taxidermists in Demand. Not more than half the specimens have arrived and taxidermists are in demand at the National Museum. It was during his last term in office that Colonel Roosevelt announced his intention of hunting wild game in Africa at the close of his term. Preparations of a most elaborate

scale were made, and arrangements were completed with the Smithsonian

institution who have reaped the scientific value of the expedition.

On March 23rd, accompanied by his son Kermit, Major E. A. Mearns, U. S. A.; Prof. Edmund Heller and J. Alden Loring, he sailed from New York on the S. S. Hamburg of the Hamburg-American line. His admirers gave him a great send-off, and the vessel was escorted down the bay by

a large number or gauy decor atea craft, while the guns in the harbor fired a farewell calute.

On April 4 th the Roosevelt party

reached Naples where they embarked on the steamer Admiral and proceeded via the Suez Canal to Kilindini Harbor, Mombassa, in British, East Africa. The party then took the Uganda railway for Nairobi, reaching their destination on April 26. On account of this place being on . the direct line of the Uganda railway, the base of supplies was established here and the party proceeded into the jungle to the south of the camp. News Was Very Scarce. Colonel Roosevelt and his party were entertained by a number of prominent Englishmen who have estates in this section and natives extended every possible assistance. The result was that when they returned

to Nairobi in December, they had an unusually large number of specimens. During this time, the general public had to be content with the news that filtered into Nairobi, where it was gobbled up greedily by the mass of newspaper men. and cabled in more or less questionable form. On December 18, th& party broke camp at Nairobi and started by Caravan across Uganda. Considerable hunting was done on this trip, and when the party arrived at Renk on March 11. 1910. on the White Nile, they had thousands of specimens. Here the steamer Dal was placed at their disposal by General Sir Reginald Wingate, the British Sirdar, and the party started on the 300 mile journey up the Nile to Khartoum, where the Colonel planned to meet his family, from whom he had been separated for nearly a year.

Waiting on His Word. ' Politicians throughout the United .'jates looked forward eagerly for

some statement from the ex-president when he emerged from the jungle at

Renk, relative to political conditions

in this country. All were anxious to know his attitude on the BallingerPinchot controversy, Wie Payne-Ald-rich tariff bill, and, in fact, what he thought of the Taft administration as

a whole. But they were all disap pointed. The ex-president refused ab

soiutely to discuss European and American politics, and stated further that any interviews purporting to come from him relative to the political situation, could be accepted as false. Nothing of importance marked the trip down the Nile, and Colonel Roosevelt busied himself with the preparation of his European speeches. On Monday, May 12th, they reached Khartoum, where Mrs. Roosevelt and her youngest daughter greeted him. The entire party was given an elaborate reception, and the Sirdar's palace on the banks of the Nile vas placed at his disposal. Two days later the Roosevelts left Khartoum on a special train for Cairo, stopping off at Assouan and Luxor, for the purpose of

sight-seeing.

On March 24 the party reached

Cairo. Here Mr. Roosevelt was. given a hearty reception, not only by the native element, but by a large number of American tourists, who were stop

ping at Shepherd's hotel. Tbe Col

onel was entertained by the Khedive, while Mrs. Roosevelt and her daughter were the guests of the Khedivah.

It was here that Oscar Strauss, am

bassador to Turkey, and a member of

the Roosevelt cabinet, met his former

chief. Holds a Reception. At the request of a large number of American tourists, visiting that portion of Egypt, Colonel Roosevelt held a reception on March 26 at Shepherd's hotel, where he shook hands with about 2CO of his countrymen. As the press of that country is extremely radical, Colonel Roosevelt

has been the subject of a great deal of criticism at the njinds of various editors on account of some of his expressions in Khartoum, but on March 27 all parties "buried the hatchet," when the ex-president entertained twelve editors, representing practically the entire Arabian press of Egypt, and told them his views respecting Moslems and Christians. All his guests agreed that they had been misinformed, and voted the Colonel a good fellow. But his popularity was short lived,

They left for Budapest on tha morning of.

April 7. The party remained Itf the capital city of Hungary two days, and on the occasion of a reception tendered the Colonel by the Hungarian parliament he made onetof his characteristic speeches scoring'the "sneering reactionaries" and vaporing sentimentalists at home." From Budapest the journey was continued to Munich, where the famous hunter was welcomed by Prince and Princess Leopold of Bavaria. But the stop here was very brief, and on the following morning he arrived in Paris. He Reaches Paris. His stay in the French capital lasted one week and was one round of receptions and sight-seeing trips. All the wealthy Americans' who make the gay French city their' home, threw open their doors to their? distinguished countryman, and the leading French statemen and scholars, including President 4Fallierei paid him unusual honors. On April 23, he delivered his first scheduled European "lecture . entitled "Citizenship in a Republic," at the Sorbonne, which was attended by all the members of the French cabinet, 90O students from, the university of

crying "Down with Roosevelt," and

"Vive Egypt." Two days later the Colonel and his family sailed from Alexandria enroute for Naples. He was 'given an enthusiastic send-off, in spite of his speeches at Cairo and Khartoum, and as . one correspondent expressed it 'his departure from Egypt was like his arrival in the country. He was the biggest

figure in the country as soon as he came within its borders, and he leaves it as the one dominating figure." On Saturday, April 2, Roosevelt and party arrived Naples where they were greeted by thousands of Italian and American tourists. At this time arrangements had been made for an audience with the king on Monday and a visit to the Vatican on Tuesday. Then came the first sensation of the European trip. Cn Sunday April 3. Mr. Roosevelt announced that he had called off the engagement with the Pope, owing to the fact that the Vaitcan imposed certain restrictions, on his conduct while in Rome, which made the audience impossible. Following on the heels of a similar action by former Vice President Fairbanks, it createtd a considerable stir. Arrives in Rome. Colonel Roosevelt reached Rome on the afternoon of April 3, and was welcomed by Mayor Nathan and Ambassador Leishman. The following day

he called on King Victor and that evening he and his family were the guests of the king and queen at the Quirinal. The Vatican Incident was seized by the Methodists of Rome as a

direct slap at the Pope, and following
