GRAVEYARD Point"

The strange phenomenon of one spot
having served as the burial place for
people of three races in three distinct
ages of the worlds history is met with
on bluff of the Iowa river, some forty
miles from its mouth. This thrice sa-
cred bluff is known as Graveyard
Point" 1t is situated in the northeast
ern corner of Washington County, Ia.
and is the southern terminus OF a line
of bluffs extending for several miles
along the west bank of the Iowa. the
SUBMITS of which are covered with
thousands of curious forms of earth
works mounds. etc, relics of a race of
which the Indians have no distinct
knowledge. After serving for ages as a
cemetery for the mound builders, the
Indians took possession of Graveyard
Point. also using it as burial place.
Back in the forties. when white men
drove the Indians out, they, too. began
burying their dead on the bluff. the

places them in the other species. 1t is
very likely, as DIR. Serene Watson sug-
gests to me, that the two species run
together, and that the California trees
represent variation towards j. Mand-
chourica.
The species might be called with
better propriety the japanese butter
nut. The nuts are borne in long clus-
tiers which often hold from fifteen to
twenty specimens. Nuts are shown,
with the husks on and removed, in the
illustration. The shell is thinner than
that of our butternut, and the kernel is
sweet and rich, much as in our species.
The tree itself is attractive. 1t appears
to be one of the most promising of re-
cent acquisitions.
According to Luther Burbank, 'the
species is of easy culture 1t accommo-
dates itself to the same soils as its con-
geners, and grows with great vigor. 1t
is easily grated by approach upon our
common walnut English walnut?l, and
its trunk retains the same dimensions as
the stock; but it is by seed that it should
be multiplied. 1t reproduces itself per-
fectly true, and if the young plants re-
main bushy during the first years, the
tree shoots afterwards, and, thanks to
its rapid growth, promptly assumes
large dimensions Prof. Wickson says
that the species first gained prominence
in 1881, when the California State Hor-
ticultural Society referred the question
of its botanical affinities to G. p. Rix

SHEEP SUGGESTIONS.

a food for sheep, and we are glad to
note the fact. 1t would be an excel

feed some.
IF sheep is in very poor condition in
the fall of the year, it is better to kill
and bury the animal than to fool with
it through the winter. The chances are
that it will die anyway.
IT need hardly be said that flock
master has no right to complain of the
unprofitableness of sheep husbandry,
unless he has given the best of manage

SIGNS OF GOOD BREEDING.

Certain Marks by Which the True Gentle
man May be known.
The habits that mark the true gentle
man are not so difficult to acquire as TO
account for the com oaratively small
number who own them. Their neglect
arises usually from carelessness or from
a selhshness which places personal ease
ahead OF the comfort or qualification of
others For unseltishness lies at the
root OF the best breeding. Selfishness
1t Is which binders a mans taking the
trouble to remember to stand aside and

of bothering about such things?-
To begin with. let it be roundly stated
that no part of the toilet should ever be
performed in public.
All such operations as cleaning or cut
ting the nails, picking the teeth. remov-
ing shreds of dried skin from the face
or hands. pulling out stray hairs from
the beard or scalp. should be performed
In the privacy of ones own apartment,
not on the street in the car or boat.
or in the drawing-room. Some men
consider they are quite justified in
scraping and pairing their nails in the
presence of their families assembled at
the breakfast table if they preface the
action with a perfunctory. Excuse
me, or. BY your leave" Others do
not take the trouble to apologize even
thus slightly. And without pessimism
1t may be affirmed that only exception
ally does one find man who will not
pick his teeth after meal. if not be-
fore guests or in public restaurant. at
least in the presence of his family.
There are still households in which il is
considered quite a touch of elegance TO
to pass glass of toothpicks as the final
course of meal.
Abstinence from the aforementioned

same school. may be termed the first
step in good breeding Such avoidance

THE JAPANESE WALNUT.

A Tree That Is Now Attracting Some At
tention in This Country.
The Japanese walnut, which is now
attracting some attention, appears to
have been introduced into the United
States about twenty-five years ago.
The Oldest trees are at Tower House,
Shasta County, Cal, the property
of Charles Camden. There are two
trees They bore nuts at eight years
of age" Mr.. Camden writes. THE
trees grow very thriftily and are hand
some in shape, and are very full and
regular bearers" The illustration Is
made from specimens from these trees.
Some fifteen years ago Mr.. Camden
sent trees to General Bidwell, at
Rancho Chico, and they are now bear
ing. These and the two original trees
are the only ones yet fruiting in this
country. The tree is now offered by
some Eastern nurserymen, and we
shall soon hope to know something
definite as to its hardness and capabil-
tiles. The species grows in Northern
Japan and is said to be as hardy as an
oak.
Juglans Sieboldiana is closely allied
to J. Handkerchief, another species of
Eastern Asia, though it is not recorded
as a cultivated plant in Japan. DIR.
Maximowicz, the author of both species.
says that he has often seen them grow
ing and knows of no good distinction
between them, except the characters of
the nuts. j. Mandchourica has oblong
and ridged nuts, while j. Sieboldiana
should have short and smooth nuts. In
shape, the nuts of the specimens figured
(see illustration) are very like those of
J. Mandchourica, but their smoothness

TRAMPING IN WINTER.
Don't Allow stock to Roam Through the
Meadows and Pastures.

Meadows and Pastures.
Meadows and pastures are often in
jured considerably by allowing the
stock to tramp over them during the
winter and early spring when the
ground is soft. Their feet press the
grass plants so deep into the soil that
they are killed out; besides, the soil is
made rough and uneven.
The small quantity of feed that can
be obtained at this season in the
meadows is more than overbalanced by
the damage to the grass plants and
the land. 1t is not altogether the dam
age to the grass, but the land is packed
and tramped down SO that it will re-
quire considerable work to get it back
into proper condition. If the land
is to be plowed in the spring and the
stock are allowed to tramp over it the
effect will be plainly evident when il is
being plowed and prepared for a grow
ing crop. A soil that has been tramped
over when it is thawed out during the
winter will turn up hard and lumpy in
the spring and will require more work
in narrowing and dragging to get into a
suitable filth for planting. In some
cases in the pastures, meadows and in
wheat fields it may be profitable when
there has been a good growth in the
fall to pasture to some extent during
the winter, but it should be done only
when the ground is frozen hard enough
to bear up the stock or is thawed out and
settled so that the tramping will not be
injurious But under average conditions
the better plan is to feed and keep the
stock in the stable and feed lots during
the winter rather than allow them to
tramp over the fields, whether pastures,
meadows or plowed land A little care
in this respect viii often not only save
considerable damage to the land, but
viii also lessen the work necessary for
the spring crops.-St- Louis Republic.
