He tells me that the goverpment is awake to the needs of the fatmer and to what is being done for them in other coun- tries. He speaks highly of our work slong such lines, saying that the United States leads the nations and that India is taking lessons from. us. Mr. Miller tells me that every prav- ine of this country has now its agri- cultura' department and agricultural schools. Fach is making a study of ite own peculiar conditions, and dog what it can to improve them. Near ly all have experimental farms, . and are distributing seeds.

"How much does your wheat yield acre 7' i "On our irrigated lands we can raise from (wenty to thirty bushels, but the erop must be carefully cultivated and manured, and it must be watered three or four times. We sow in Octo- per and harvest in March. In most localities it is reaped with sickles; it is threshed with bullocke and winnow- ed in the wind. Much of the plowing is 'done with wooden plows, and alto- gother the cultivation is primitive. "Our agricultural stations are now doing all they can to introduce mo- dern machinery, They advise the use of iron plows and of reapers and threshers. They show the farmers how to use such machines and encourage competitive trials on the part of the dealérs in the different makes. "What are you doing to your stock ?' 1 asked, "We have breeding establishments connected with some of the agricul- tural stations, and there is a breed- ing farm at the Phipps' Agricultural' College, of which 1 have spoken.

Queens Mother's New Flag--Heraldry ' Not Yet Dead. It is interesting to note that the Queen Mother Alexandra has caused her own standard to he hoisted shove Buckingham Valace while she 1s mn re- 'sidence there. The arrangement of this standard shows that the Scicace of Heraldry is not a dead one, as some would have us believe, although of nothing like the importance that it was wm the age of cmvalry. Following thé' ancient and hosorable laws of He- taldry the Queen Mother's Standard is a tion of those of England and Denmark. 'There are few people who cannot tell vou something of the story of the Ln- jon Jack, but of the history of the Ro- val Standard of Great Britain most people are iynoragt. i Various writers have from time: to time assigned armorial hearings to ev- ery ome of the Saxon kings of Eng- land, but as in the pre-Norman age no heavy disgwsing armor was worn, ne- cessitating the use of distinguishing marks, it is very probable that they are absolutely fictitious. Although some historians state that the Norman Kings of England bore two gold lions on a red shield, the first sovereign for whose armorial bearings we have gontemporary au- thority is King Richard Coeur de Li- on, who, in the first part of his reign employed a red shield with two gold lions on it standing erect and facing one another--to use Heraldic language, "I'wo lions condbatant." On the seal which he employed during the latter part of his reign, however, their ap: pear three gold lions on a ved shield, with the right forepaw raised; to a- gain employ Heraldic torms, 'Three lions, passant gardant in pale.' This same cost armor was born by King Jona of evil memory, as well as by his successors Heory 11, Kd ward I, and Edward 11. On 'January 25th, 1340, King Kd- ward 11, commenced to geign over the twa Kingdoms of Frame and Eng land and in token of this, combined the arms of France--a blue shicld spee kled with golde lilies--with those of England. or some timo these combined shields were pecognized in England, if not in France, as the Royal Arms. When Charles VI ascended the throne of France, however, jg was $0 annoy ed at the perseveranes of England, in bearing. his arms. .ibat he altered his own 'coat' hy reducing the number of lilies to three, Henry V of England, not to he outwitted By his neighbor, altered his arms in exactly the same manner. The Royal Arms of England, there fate, continped to be three gold lilies on a blue 'feld' until the reign ol Queen Mary, when the arms of Spain were added to those of Fhgland through the marriage of the Queen to King Philip of Spain. With the retura of a Protestant sov- erign the old arms were again brought into use. In 1603 the crosses of St. George. St. Andrew and St. Patrick were uni ted to form the Union Jack and at the same time the familiar Harp of Ireladd, and Lion of Scotland were added to the arms of England and France to form King James * Stan- dard. There was no further change in the Royal Standard, until 1688 when Wil- liam 17. and Mary were elected joint sovereigns und the arms of. Nassau were added to the Standard. Queen Anne reverted to; the Stuart Standard, which continued to be the personal flag of the Royal House un- til 1801, when, by a clause in the Treaty of Amiens, the arms of France which had been horne by the English sovereigns for four hundred years were at length abandoned. In this way has the Royal Stan- dard as used by King George V. and 'quartered' by the "Jueen Mother to- day been gradually evolved from the "Three Lions passant gardant" of King Richard de Lion. re may, however, soon be yet an- other change, for lately there has been no little agitation in Wales that that country should bo represented in the Standard. Whether the Heralds-- to. whom the decision in all such mat ters. belongs--will 'allow this Principal ity to rank, with the Kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland, re- mains {0 be seen. : ----e a ------ TORTURED BY THE POLICE.
