As a prison camp it has the advent- !
age of being comparatively near the
battle fronts of France and Belgium

of the danger zone of, possible raid
and rescue. It is at least 160 miles he

At the . outbreak of the war Lim-
burg was a town of slightly .less than
10,000 inhabitants, and its chief al- '
terests were • tobacco factoriefr, soap
and pottery works, machine shops and
breweries. To the .east, along the
Lahn;: extends the Limburg basin, for
three or four miles and it is poseibly
in this plain that .English prisoners
are confined. One of the exasper-
ating features of being a prisoner' in
Lirogurg must be' the recollection to
mane of the • English unfortunates
that at this very season of the year
in + peace they were wont to flock
to the famous baths at Ems, just 20
miles down the river. Ems was ac-
customed : to entertaining 12,000 visi-
tors .during July and August, and the
suffierers from - pulmonary. troubles,
gathered there from all parts of Eur-
ope and the British Isles.
During the Middle Ages Limburg
belonged to the Count of, Lahngau,
but early in the fifteenth century this
city passed under the jurisdiction
of the Electors of Treves, who gov-
erned the, city for nearly 400 years.
The most interesting building in
Limburg is the famous seven -towered
cathedral, whose history dates back
to 909. It was founded by the power
ful Salic Count of Niederlahngau,
Conrad-Kurzloold, • the remains of
whose castle adjoins the church. The
present structure was °erected in '1213-
42, and was restored during the last
quarter of the 19th century. One of
the most famous bridges in Germany
spans the Lahn here. It was built
in 1315 and stands _ as a remarkable
monument to the engineering skill of
six centuries ago. A few miles up
the 'river, perched on a rocky emin-
ence, is another ancient structure, the
famous old church of Dietkirehen,
built in 801.
One of the rdost highly -prized pos-
sessions of this city is the famous
Limburg "Chronicle," or Pesti Lim-
purgeness, a source for the history of
Rhineland during the fourteenth cen-
tury and especially valuable on ac-
count of the Light thrown on the Ger-
man manners and customs of that
period and for its preservation of old
German folk -songs. It is a, common
error to think of this city of Lim-
burg as the place made ,notorious by
a certain brand of odoriferous cheese,
but the dairy product, the subject of
many jests, originated in the province
of Luttich, Belgium, in the neighbor-
hood of Herve, and was first marketed
in Limburg, Belgium.. Its manufac-
ture has, spread through Germany,
and Austria, and large cpiertities of
it are made now in New York end
Wisconsin.
SUMMER CUL
LT CULTIVATION OF OLD
OWS
Two years on the average farm, is
quite long enough to leave the mead-
ows down, for .best results and great-
est profits. f
They should then be broke. up,
and cultivated for other crops.
Tie present is an excellent time to
commence this operation. During
haying and before grain harvest,
there are many days aftershowe
when the teams can be profitably put
at ploughing the . old meadow.
Deep ploughing is not necessary
nor need the furrows be set up with
a narrow plough. Rapid work at
this time of year is essential.- A ,two-
furrow plough, with three horsed, will
turn, over a larges. piece of land in a
day. At the close . of each day the
area ploughed that day should be
rolled. This breaks the lumps, presses
down the furrows, re-establishes con-
nection between the ion -face soil, and
