Uncle Sans Border Line.

Do any of our people ever query
how the dividing line between the
United States and the Dominion of
Canada is marked, and how travellers
in those wild regions northwest of
the Great Lakes can tell when they
step from the domains of Uncle Sam
into those of Queen Victoria? For
many years the question Of boundary
between the United States and the
possessions of Great Britain was dis
cussed, and at last, at the convention
of London. held in 1918, the forty
niuth parallel of north latitude was
decided upon. A parallel OF latitude,
however, being an imaginary line, is
very poor guide to a traveller, SO
the next thing to do was to mark
that line so that all who passed that
way should know where it was To-
Gated. s
Accordingly the country in that
vicinity was surveyed, and monu-
ments we're set up at even mile inter-
walls, the British placing one between
every two of ours. These extend
from the Lake#of the Woods to the
Rocky Mountains. Where the line
enters forests, the tim Der is cut down,
and the ground cleared a rod wide;
where it crosses small lakes, stone
cairns have been built, sometimes
being eighteen feet under water and
eight above: in other places, earth
mounds, seven by fourteen feet, have
been built, The most Of these mon
uments, which number 3SS in all, are
OF iron. It was found that the most
solid wooden posts were not proof
against the ravages Of the Indians,
prairie fires and the weather, so that
not thing but iron would do.
These pillars are hollow iron cast
ings, fitted over solid cedar posts,
and well bolted through, and ,tre
sunk fourfeet in the ground. They are
eight feet high, eightinches square at
base and four at the top, and upon
Iopposite sides facing north and south,
are the Inscriptions cast in letters
two inches high; Convention Of
/ London and October 20, 1915 =
The pillars weigh 285 pounds each,

CULTURE OF CLOVES.
Something About the Planting,
Growth and Harvesting Of Cloves.

Something About the Planting,
Growth and Harvesting Of Gloves.
Sultan Seyed Said bin Sultan in
1880 introduced the Glove tree into
Zanzibar, since which time its culti-
walton has formed the chief occupa-
ton of the Arab planters in that part
Of the world, especially those residing
on the Island of Pemba.
Every portion Of the tree is aroma
tic, but it is the bud which forms the
Glove OF commerce. The choicest are
of a dark brown hue, free from mols-
ture and with full, perfect heads. The
cultivation OF this important article
of domestic economy is very interest
ing.
The seeds are planted in long
trenches and kept we'll supplied with
water for forty days, when thesprouts
appear above the surface. These are
carefully watered for two years at the
end OF which time they usually attain
a height OF three feet, Then trans
planting takes place, the shoots being
set out at distances of thirty feet
apart and watered until we'll rooted.
| After this occurs the trees require lit
| tie attention, but are kept free from
weeds and the earth about them is
| worked over from time to time.
They do not bear until five or six
| years old, when the buds are fully
formed into clusters and assume a
| dull reddish hue. The harvesting now
begins and continues at intervals for
six months, as the buds do not all
mature at the same time. AS the
limbs OF the trees are very brittle they
do not bear the weight OF a man, and
the cloves on the upper branches are
gathered by means of very peculiar
looking four-sided ladders. Immedi-
ately upon being taken from the trees
the buds are laid out in the sun, where
in short time they assume brown
ish color, when they are placed in
store-hOuses and are ready for ship
ment. The usual yield of a 1O-year-
old plantation is twenty pounds per
tree-Detroit Free Press.

And as two tentacles separated
themselves from the mass and waved
softly in the air, with a hideous cease

them a fresh piece Of flesh.
'But you do not know ALL" he
continued, in a low tone; 'fif Titane

Of ferocious power, she would tear
herself from the place to which
her now enfeebled roots bind

The Chicago, st. Paul d Kansas City was
the first railroad in the country to ISSUE

Worlds fair at Chicago. That is enterprise
and an illustration Of the sort of manage
ment that within a few wears has trans
formed the Chicago, st. Paul Il Kansas
City from a abort and unimportant line,
with little to encourage its continuance, to
one OF the most prominent and most popu
lar lines in the northwest. With its termi-
mails in Chicago, Kansas City and st. Paul,
it unites the east, the northwest and the
southwest. The territory it embraces is
the garden spotof America. In it dwell
3,O0o,000 people whom this great road ac-

The general headquarters Of the road is

pany's trains arrive at and depart from the
Grand Central passenger station, COM
pleted at the beginning Of the present year,
and acknowledged to be without a peer in
this country. The three main lines Of this
road unite at Oelwsin, in Northeastern
Iowa. Aside from these are several short
branches, all of Importance, the longest
being from Sumner to Hampton. Iowa.
The latter state is divided nearly in halves
by the road. which crosses its very finest
portion. The mileage in Missouri, Kansas

in Illionois again increases, the northern

Much Of the success of the road isdue to

The Various Strains Of Thorough Blood
That Run in the Veins Of Record


A horse or mare to become eligible 1,
registration in the English or American
stud book must have seven un~contaminatet
crosses to the Barb. This gives one hun
dred and twenty seven parts of pure blood
out Of a possible one hundred and twenty
eight. OF the value of this blood wher
injected into a cold pedigree there has beer
much discussion, and yet it seems stranlg,
that a difference Of opinion should exist re-
gardinR demonstrated facts, says a writer
in the New York Sportsman. We know
that a common farm mare bred to a thor
%oughbred horse will produce offspring
capable of being made much superior as 6
work horse to ono of cold blood. The high
courage and endurance Of the thorough
bred enable him to far excel a %''dunghill,'
even in performing the ordinary druegery
of team work. It is true that kindness
goes a long way with the high mettled
warm blood, and it will not
stand as much shouting and beating
without resistance as the cold strains, but
once subdus or teach a thoroughbred by
kindness what ID required, and he becomes
q faithful servant that " point of sndur-
ancs will far excel 4 cc..d-bloodsd aompeti-
tor. Why should not thorough blood in
jected judiciously benefit a trottinR pedi-
gree? The thoroughbred has been bred for
many generations for excellence Ut racing
conformation, capacity for great lung
powers and for the muscular development
that shall enable a performer to carry tho
highest rate of speed for the greatest pos
sible distance. These are Just the points in
which the trotter must excel, the only diff
ference in the essential requirements Of a
thorough trottsr and thoroughbred race
