How Bananas are RaIsed

As everybody knows who has eaten a
banana, the luscious pulp is seedless
The plants are propaRated from Other
plants, so that the stock ia not likely &c
run out. The plant requires for visor-
Gus growth deep, rich soil, abundsutlv
watered. With these conditions pres.
ent, there is said 10 be no risk for a
crop in hot regions, where alone the
fruit Is prcducsd. Nine months after a
cutting has been planted, purple bud
appears in the centre of the unfolding
leaves that shoot ont from the head of
the parent stem. The stem on which
the bud appears grows rapidly above
the main stalk.
AS the bud increases in weight, the
stem bends downward by q graceful
curve, on the extremity of which this
bud continues to grew still, the purple
blossoms falling off, little shoots appear
as the embryo fruit. Each fruit has a
yellow blossom at its outward ex-
tremity. At the end Of three or four
months the fruit has grown to m Maturity,
and is picked long enough before 1t is
dead ripe" 10 preserve it in remark
able condition, From the roots of the
parent stalk other roots appear, which
are trimmed out or left to grow, as the
c1ltivator may deem best. A single
stalk, therefore, bears only one bunch
or crop as its life work.
Spsuiards have a religious reverence
for the banaua, believing it to be the
fruit of which Adam partool1, The fruit
has long been regarded as extremely
nutritious 1t is recommended above
all others for invalids who are unable
to swallow harder iood. An estimate
by Humboldt claims that "A 900 pounds
Of bananas can bs produced on the soil
that would be required for 1000 pounds
OF pOtatoe', and that the area that would
be required to raise wheat enough for
one man, would produce enough bana-
mas to feed twenty. five men.

Oceanic Snakes.

Very few people, probably, are aware
that besides the Great Sea-Serpent, whose
existence is SO extremely problematical,
there are great many ssmaller sea-ser-
penis, SO perfect historical that they
have been duly named and classified with
scientifc minuteness,sa says recent writer.
These oceanic ST axes, which usually
vary in length from two to twelve feet,
are found chiefly in the tropical seas OF
the eastern hemisphere, and especially in
the Indian ocean.
They are very yenomous, and are de-
scribed by those who know them most in
timately as wild and feroc;ous." In
calmer weather they lie quietly upon the
surface OF the sea, enjoying their after
dinner repose like the cobra at the Zoo,
and saving themselves even the trouble
of breathing by their possession of enor-
nous lungs, In which (as in a tank
they store up air enough to last their cold
blood for an indefinite period.
This ingenious device is not the only
modification they have undergone to tit
them for their marine existence; the tail
is flattened out into a rudder, as in fish,
and the under surface of the body is
ridced into a keel, so as to unable them
to swim more easily over the crest of the
pillows The sea-sn axes live on fish, which
they poison as they catch, and swallow
whole, head foremost.

People who have the advantage of resid-

these sanitary precautions, and are thus

this respect less fortunately placed con

To THE EDITORS OF THE FERGUS
about time the cattle owners should
recognize the fact tha, sheep owners
nave u few rights on the range that
they should repcct | have reference
now to putting out poison with the
intention OF poisoning dogs, belonging
to sheep owners. There has been
poison put out this fall within half a
mile of sheep owners home; another
ease where the poison Was put ont at
hi, well on his own claim; in another
ease at a sheep camp. going so lar as
to poison :, piece OF meat that was
left after his dog had eaten part of the
piece la he morning. This poisoning
we have every reason to believe was
done by the Moccasin Mountain
roundup. as they were camped IN that
locality at the time. Now ! ask tine
cattle owners. is that right? They
know as well as amy one. that no one
can run Il large band Of sheep without
n dog. and that a good dog II aS valu-
able as Il horse. Ii thcy have any
complaint to make about sheep
herders dogging cattle, would It not
he more honorable for them to make
I the complaint TO the owners OF the
sheep, instead OF trying 80 poison his
dog on the sly like thief! will ven
/ ture to say that ii such ii complaint
was made to the sheep owner IN Il gem
tlemanly way that there is not one in
II hundred but would do what they
could to stop it. The cattle owners
may say that they cannot be respon-
sible for the poison that their COW
boys put out. would say in answer
hat the COW boys have no direct IN
terest in poisoning dogs and they
would not be apt to do it unless they
thought they would please their EN-
ployer by so doing. IN this section
poison has been put out for tins pur-
pose the present year more frequent
than usual. as il is claimed that the
poor condition OF the cattle is owing
to their being dogeed so much, while il
they would stop To think they would
know it was owing TO the scarcity %
water. which compelled the cattle to
stay on the range that had been kept
down by the sheep. y READER.
