Grand Canyon

Visitors to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado river, near the northern boun- dsry of this county, agree ths. 1t is one of the grHndest sights in nature to be seen on the American continent. The walls rise almost perpeDdlculsrly from the bed of the Colorado rIver to height of over 1000 feet and standing on the summit and looking down on the river, which at this point is from one half to three quarters of mile wlde, the stream looks like a band of silver stretched along the ground. Owing to the long distance necessary to travel from the railroad to reach it-seventy- five miles-there arc comparatively few people who care to make the trip even to see this wonder of all wooders, and as a consequence the accommodation provided for sight seers IS rather poor, but parties recently returned from there report considerable improvement in pro gress now. according to 6 Flagstaff ex- change.

Utility of Banana Fibre.

Among tho valuable products of the soil now largely suffered to go to waste, according to the United States Consul at San Salvador, West Iudies, is the fibre of the banana. This fibre, which may be divided into threads of silken fine- ness, extends the length of the body of the tree, which grows without a branch from ten to fifteen feet high, and has a circu n ference at the base of two and a half to three feet. In Central America, the fibre, with no preparation except drying, is used for shoc-strings, lariats, and cords for all purposes. In its twelve months of existence, the banana tree bears only one bunch of fruit, but from two to four or ten trees spring from the roots of tho ono that has fallen. At home, tho bunch of bananas is worth fis- teen cents, and tho dead tree nothing, though, if the supply were not mex haustible, the latter would bo worth ten times tho value of tho fruit 10 q cordage factory, paper mill, or ff,c. sack maker. The banana leaf, with stems of the toughest and finest threads. is from two and half to thrco feet wide and ten to fifteen feet long, and serves the native women of San Sa!- vador as an umbrella in the rainy sea. son, carpet on which to sit, and bed on which to rest

Buttermilk a Popular Beverage.

''Here, this buttermilk isn't fresh," said patron of a New York dairyman the other day to Sun man.
 'Well, try this. This can was brought from the country only few hours ago." and the white -apronod in- dividual set another glass before his customer, who drank it, laid down three cents and walked complacently away.
 "rll tell you what 1t is, our busin ess is revolutionized," said the milk seller, turning to reporter who stood waiting to be served. 'Last year you could sell anything in the shape of sour milk for fresh buttermllk, and tho people wouldn't know the difference, but now they'll kick if it's day old. But, bless you, the trade is on the jump. Two years ago usod to sell can in three days, but now it's very cold day when don't get rid of six cans.

Two or thrcc glasses every day can't hclp but have a good effect upon tho system, but more than that is not good. Another glass, sir7 Yes, sir, you'll find this fresh."
 And the glib-tongucd dairyman turned to wait upon a long line of cus- toners, four out of five of whom wanted buttermilk.

Shade for Fowls

Did you ever notice how fowls seek the shady side of the buildings, the shelter of bushes, etc., during the middle of tho day i1 hot weathera They don't like to stay out exposed to the hot rays of the sun any moro than you do, and it isn't healthy for them to bo thus exposed, either. If there are not plenty of shady places for them to loaf, make some by con- structing sheds of refu'e boards-any- thing that will keep off the hot rays of tho sun. Dig up tho sod under these shelters, and occasionally throw ir pan of ashes; then watch the hens and see if they don't enjoy it. Hens that are thus supplied with a shady dusting placo are not troubled with lice. ce.-lPrairie Farmer.
