A SUNFLoWER's USEFULNESS.
How the Plant Is ProfitabIy Used By the
Russians

In return for the corn which Uncle
Sam proposes to teach the Russians
how to eat, it is seriously suggested
that We shall adopt few hints from
/ them respecting the usefulness of the
suntiower There are regions in the
west which might be most profltably
utilized for the cultivation OF this
plant, which has been found so valu-
able for food purposes in the Empire
! Of the Gar that $50, 900 acres in that
country are annually planted with it.
Two kinds there are chiefiy-one
which bears small seeds used for max
Ing oil, while the other produces big
I seeds, which are consumed in enor-
nous quantities by the common peo-
pie in the same way that peanuts are
eaten here, except that they are de-
voured raw.
There is hardly another plant In the
world which serves so many uses,
every part of it being valuable for
one purpose or another. The oil is 50
nutritious and agreeable in flavor
That in Russia it has to a considera-
bic extent superseded all other vege-
table oils. 1t is obtained by passing
the seeds beneath mill stones, so as
to crush the shells, sitting them to
separate the kernels and finally press
Ing the latter in bags Of horsehair
cloth. The cakes left after the oil
mas been expressed are excellent fod-
der for cattle. The shells are en-
ployed for beating, special ovens be-
ing made to burn them, while the
stalks have almost replaced firewood,
being gathered and dried in stacks in
the fields. A ton of the latter is OBJ
tained from each acre cultivated.
Ihey make very hot and quick fire.
The seed cups are utilized as food
Tor sheep. A big one when ripe will
yield 2, 900 seeds. The largest and
nnest seed cups are selected in the
autumn and hung by their stalks in a
dry place. In the following spring
the seeds are shaken out of them and
drled In ovens for planting. At har-
vest time the flowers are gathered as
last as they are ripe and and spread
upon the ground to dry. Then the |
seeds are beaten out of them with a
small stick by whipping each cup.
Finally the seeds are dried in the sun
or IN kllns and are sorted by means Of |
screens into different sizes
An acre planted with sunfowers
yields 1000 pounds of seeds, from |
which 250 pounds of oil may be OBJ
tanned. Ten million quarts of this !
oil is produced by Russian mills. Who |
knows that the time may not yet |
come when small boys in this country
will gobble sunflower seeds at the cir /
Gus just as they now consume the
festive and odoriferous goober

1t has been said that one of the
strong strokes Of nature was when
she made the 'lOOn'-a bird which
represents the wilderness and solitar-
ine-s of the widest and most solitary
spots. ltdlyes with such marvellous
Quickness that the shot of a gunner
gets there Just in time ITO cut across
circle of descending tail feathers
and a couple of little Jets Of water
flung upward By the wet feet Of the
loon"
Speaking Of this bird, Burroughs
says that in the water It's wings are
more than wings, 1t plunges into
the deuSer air and flies with incredi-
BILE speed. Its head and bedk form a
sharp point TO its tapering neck. Its
wings are lar in front and its legs
equally far in the rear, and its course
through the crystal depths Is like the
speed Of dn arrow. In the northern
lakes 10 has been taken forty feet
under water upon hooks baited for
the large lake trout.
L had never seen one till last fall,
when one appeared on the river in
front Of my house. | knew instantly
1t was the loon. Presently a boat
shot out from shore, and went ripp-
ling up the surface toward the loon.
The creature at once seemed to divine
the intentions Of the bOdtman, aud
sided off obliquely, keeping a sharp
lookout as if to make sure it was pur-
sued. A steamer came down aud
passed between them, and when the
way was again clear the loon was still
swimming on the surface. Pre-. = tIy
1t disappeared under the water, and
the boatman pulled sharp and hard.
In few minutes the bird Teappeared
some rods further on, as if TO make
an observation. Seeing it was being
pursued and no mistake, it dived
quickly, and, when it came up again,
had gone many times as far as the
boat in the same length of time.
Then it diyed again and diStanced its
pursuer so easily that he gave over
the chase and rested upon his oars.
But the bird made a final plunge,
and when it again emerged upon
e surface it was over a mile away.

August

For two years l suffered terribly
with stomach trouble, and was for

physician. He finally, after trying
everything, said my stomach was
worn out, and that 1 would have to

THE pETRiFIED FERN.

n valley, centuries ago

feining delicate, and fbres tender,

RuShes tall and moss and grass grew round IL,
ilayful Sunbeams darted in an found 10.
SSTops OF dew stole In by night and crowned IL,
But no foot OF man e'er trod that way
Earth was young and keeping holiday.
Monster fishes swan the silent main,
Stately forests waved their giant branches,
Mountains hurled their snowy ayalanches,
Mammoth creatures stalked along the plain,
Nature Teveled In grand mysteries;
But the little fern was not OF these.
Did not number with the hills and trees,
Only grew and waved its sweet wild way
No one came to note 1t, day by day.
Earth, one day, put on a froIIc mood,
Heayed the rocks and changed the mighty mo-
tion
OF the deep, strong currents Of the ocean;
Moved the plain, and shook the naughty
wood,
Crushed the little fern IN soft. moist clay,
Covered II, and hid II safe away.
On, the long centuries since mat day;
Oh, the agOnyi Oh. lfe's bitter cost
Since that useless little fern was losti
Useless? LOStf There came a thoughtful man.

From a assure in a rocky steep

charged with disturbing the peace Their
arrest grew out of shots fired into the house
of George McGrueder, an old negro man,
living near Reinhardt. McGrueder has been
living in the neighborhood twelve years and
never had any trouble until last Saturday
night, when about fifty shots were fired
into his house. He could not see the par
ties, and, terror-stricken, he crouched in
his room, holding his shotgun, expecting
the parties to attempt to force open the
door. He says they did not leayesuntil after
midnight, and he did not show his head
outside of the door until after daylight.
He has moved to the city with his family,
and he declares that he will not risk his life
again in the Reinhardt country The Rein
hardt people are very much incensed over
the affair, and everything will be done to
bring the culprits to justice.
A number of prominent citizens of Rein
hardt community met yesterday and
adopted resolutions condemning and de-
ploring such outrageous conduct and prom
lsing aid to the officers in bringing to
justice the guilty parties.
