EnIura Of the Colorado Desert.

The wonderful results of irrigation
have been shown in a most remarkable
manner by freak OF the Colorado
River. Last year the mystery OF Silton
Lake attracted the attention and wonder
of the State until its source was found in
q break in the river bank. This year a
phenomenon not less wonderful is to be
seen iu the same region. The desert has
been transformed. The bare sands that
have made the region terrible to trave.-
err, md stockmen have given place to
yerdure. Underbrush has covered the
country in the line of the inundation,
and where only the hardest of desert
plants could before maintain precarious
struggle for existence, luxuriaut vegeta'
ton now covers the land.
The desert is doomed. Its disappear
ancc may not be seen BY this generation
or the next, yet the time is coming
when orchards and fields will cover the
thousands of square miles now given
over to desolation. The infrequent deS.
ert plant aud the occasional buzzard
will give way to all the products of the
tropical and semi-tropical lands that its
position is 6t 70 raise.
The day may come when the present
Colorado desert will be reckoned among
the most productive land in California.
There was a time when the plains oil
Kern and Tulare were held but little
more in esteem than is the desert of to-
day. The magic power of irrigation ha'
transformed the old alkai plains into
garden, and it will do as much for the
dreaded Colorado desert.-Madets (Ca!,)

Raises Trout Like He Would Chickens,

A man in Massachusetts,, living at Ply
mouth, who makes it his business to raise
brook trout, in much the same manner as
farmers raise chickens and turkeys for
the market, is much exercised over Gov.
Russell's veto Of bill providing for the
sale of brook trout after January 10, n
month later than the spawning season.
The trout. farmer has addressed a letter to
tbe Commissioners of the District OF
Columbia land doubtless to those in au-
thority in various States inquirlDg how
early the fish are salable in the District.
He says that trout can be raised as
cheaply as poultry and in immense guam
titles for food purposes, in the ponds OF
Massachusetts,, during the months OF
January, February and March. In most
of the States brook trout cannot be sold
before April 1. The writer declares that
he must find a market outside OF Mas
sachusetts, or his business will be ruined.
The communication was referred to the
health officer, who says that there Is no
law in existence in the District regard
inc the sale Of brook trout. Not more
than 100 pounds of the fish, it is said,
are sold in Washington during the year.
Governor Russell's veto was founded on
the theory that, if there is a market for
game and fish, the game and fish will be
taken without regard to any provisions
of closed-season law. New York Post.

Not many French baskets are seen in

Toruidity Burinu the Dry Season.

A rarer aud even more curious phe-
nomenon than Information, or winter
sleep, is the estivation, or torpidity dur
ing the dry season, of certain animals.
As one of the mammals which is most
sensitive to heat aud dryness, NJ. L.
Cuonot mentions the tanrec, OF NADIA
gascar, an insect-eating creature re-
sembling the hedgehog. It is very &C
tive during the rainy season, but lies
torpid in a shallow burrow for nearly
six months in the dry period. The most
remarkable summer sleepers, however,
are found in the group of dipnoids, in
termediate between the batrachians and
fishes, and comprising at present but
three animals-the Lepidosiren paradoxa
Of the afiuents of the Amazon, the
orotopterus annectens of Gambia and
Senegal, and the Ceratodus Forsteri OF
Australia. The anatomical structure
resembles that of the fishes, and
bronchial apparatus allows them to
breathe in the water, while pulmonary
apparatus enables them to absorb the
oxygen of the air. A careful study of
the protopterus shows that during the
entire dry season, lasting about nine
months, it remains buried in the drlei-
up mud at a depth of five feet, and is
surrounded by sort of cocoon, which
incloses it Theoretically. Air psnetrates
through narrow channel to the animal,
which in this state breathes, not only
through lung into which the swimming
bladder Is transformed, but through its
wide membraneous tail. On the return
Of the rainy season, the driei mncn'
covering the animal dissolves, and the

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
TREATMENT FOR sUN-sTRUcK HORSES.

TREATMENT FOR sUN-sTRUcK HORSES.
During period of three weeks in the
summer eighty-one cases OF horses over
come by the heat were reported to the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, many of which were accom-
panied by complaints of the Ignorance
and brutal treatment of drivers in the
application of improper remedies Tor
the relief of the animals.
M. V. B. Davis, Secretary Of the So
ciety, wrote DIR. William i. zuill oil
the veterinary department of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania as to the best
and most easily applied treatment Tor
heat exhaustion, and in reply DIR. Zuill
saws he believes that in most cases horses
are exhausted from brutal indifference
on the part of the driver more than from
Ignorance. On hot days, he says,
horses should be watered at short inter-
walls with all the water they will drink,
and their heads frequently bathed with
cold water. If the horse appears to be
much exhausted fifteen or twenty
minutes rest in a shady place will often
afford sufficient relief. If at the end OF
this time evidence of exhaustion con-
ltinues, nothing will give more prompt
or efficient relief than to battle the entire
body with water. In more extreme
cases. when the exhaustion is complete,
the animal must be secured so as to pre-
vent him from injuring himself until he
can be removed in an ambulance, aud IN
the meantime ice should be applied to
his head aud ice water to his body to
reduce the temperature. Shmuants In
the form of alcohol are indicated, but
should be used with the greatest care,
and always under the supervision of a
veterinary surgeon.-Philadelphia Led

Robbed the Eight Little PIqs.

Eight little pigs that were sucked BY
their mother on the farm Of Mrs. StinsonI
two miles from Bridgeton, Bucks County,
Md, suddenly began to grow lean and
thin. They appeared as if they were be-
ing starved to death. AS the maternal
swine was fat and had the appearance Oh

until the other day to discover what allied
the hungry pigs. Quietly entering the
pig sty she was astounded to see two
immense milk snakes, over FIVE feet long,
quietly clinging to the udder OF the
mother hog, which apparently was not al
all disturbed. They had persistentiy
been robbing the pigs of what belonged

MILK FOR CREAMERY USE.

The creamery at the Iowa Experiment
Station. Ames, Iowa, has quite large
patronage among the farmers of the
neiphborhood. The following rules have
been laid down for the care OF milk to
be delivered to the creamery. If all
dairymen who deliver milk to factories
would follow them, there would be bet
ter material delivered at some factories
than now.
The COWS should be properly fed the
best and most wholesome food on the
farm. They should not be allowed to
drink out of any slough or stagnant pool
of water as you use for domestic pur-
poses. Their surroundings should be
sweet and clean, and the mixers should
be neat in drawing the milk from the
COWS.
The milk utensils, such as pals, strain
ers, cans, etc., should be of tin. They
should be washed out in hot water in
which some sal soda has been dissolved,
then scalded and set out of doors to air.
The milk should be thoroughly cooled
and aerated as soon as drawn from the
COW. And mornings milk should never
be strained in with the nights milk until
it is perfectly cool.
The milk should be kept in the COM
mon setting cans, set in tank of cold
water until just before the collector calls
for it. Then empty the milk into the
delivery cans and place on a platform
convenient to the driver. This Is for
YOUR own interest as well as ours, for the
earlier the milk gets to the factory the
better shape it will be in, and the skim
milk will be sent back to the farm better
than it would be otherwise.
The skim milk should be emptied out
of the delivery cans soon as returned
from the factory, and the cans and COW
ers washed and placed bottom side upon
a rack out of doors to air until the next
time. Do not send any sour, tainted,
frozen or impure milk of any kind to the
factory, or any milk from an unhealthy
COW. but send us such milk as you would
use in tea or coffee, or off of which you
would take cream for strawberries or
table use. No other will make fine but
ter. Farm, Field aud Stockman.

A Bio Australian PIaut.

Early last winter Baron Ferd. Won
Mueller, of Melbourne, Australia, upon
whom McGill University, at its last con-
ference, conferred the degree of LID,
wrote that he had recently discovered an
additional specimen of the giant Podea,
of which only ten have been found dur
ing his forty years of exploration in Aus
tralia. As he had sent the Others to
Europe, where they now may be found in
the ROYAL Gardens, Kew, and in the
principal gardens of Continental
Europe, he was was anxious for McGill
University to possess the unique speci-
men in the Western Hemisphere. A re-
cent letter from him informed the col
lege that he had taken it upon himself
to ship the plant on March 25th last, and
that it was not only to be considered
personal donation from himself, but that
he would bear all the expenses attendant
upon its safe delivery to the university.
This specimen has now arrived and is
being placed in permanent position at
the Botanic Gardens, when it will, in the
course of the next few months, be in con-
dition for inspection by visitors.
The specimen weighs, by estimate,
considerably over ton, and, although
the age is unknown, it is IN all probabil-
ity several centuries old. 1t belongs to
very small genus of ferns, of which
only four species are known. Montreal

The Psternsl Ostrich I. Fighter

The ostrich has many strange ways,
aud l was particularly interested in
studying them. They go in fOcks OF
three or four females and one male
about their nesting time, and for sew
eral weeks before locating their nests
the hens drop their eggs all about the
pampas.
They are called hauchO eggs (prO-
nOunced watchO y, and are much
more delicate in flavor than the eggs
taken from the nests. They have
thinner shell and when fresh laid are
Of a beautiful golden color. We
cooked them by roasting them before
the fire.
We would first break hole in the
small end Of the egg large enough to
to insert a teaspoon. The egg would
be set up among some hot ashes,
pinch of salt and pepper put into it,
and the contents kept stirred with
a stick so that all would be done
alike. The flavor is excellent and one
egg would satisfy a very hungry man.
As soon as the ostriches decide upon
a suitable place for nest, the male
bird scratches away the grass and
slightly hollows out the ground for a
space Of about three feet In diameter.
All the hens of the flock lay in the
same nest until there are from TWEEN
ty-fve to thirty eggs laid. The male
bird then takes possession and sits on
the eggs until they are Matched. As
soon as the brood can leave the nest
the old fellow leads them away to feed
on flies and small insects, and every
thing is lovely until he espies another
male bird with a brood. As soon as
the old birds see each other they make
a peculiar booming sound and every
little ostrich disappears in the grass.
The old ones then approach each
other and engage in most deadly
conflict. They fight until one or the
other is killed or runs away The re-
naming one will then utter another
peculiar sound and both brOOds will
spring up from their hiding places
and follow the victor who struts on
as proud as a peacock. | have seen

mon name, Virgins Bower, may have
been given in compliment to the virgin
queen. The general popularity Of the
clematis as a garden plant has been the
growth Of rather recent years, however,
and has been partly the result OF great
activity among the English aud French

verted the flower from an ordinary
though graceful and charming climber,

Salmon Build Nests.

The salmon commonly build nests
by collecting stones and piling them IN
little heaps, laying their eggs in the
crevices. Around every such nest may
usually be seen a greedy horde of little
fresh-watter sculpins and bull heads.
Trout also gobble the spawn geedily,
and the young fish are eaten in great
numbers by gulls, ducks and looms.
Bears are often seen standing on the
banks of the streams and striking with
their claws at the breeding fish in the
shadows, throwing those which they
catch upon the shore and devouring the
heads by preference. In the ocean the
salmon find other enemies in the salmon
sharks, porpoises and sea-lions. The
most abundant and smallest species is
the "humpback, which averages only
five pounds in weight. Only slightly
bigger is the "red" salmon, which
is the most important for canning.
The Gamers first cut of the heads and
fins and take out the entrails, after
which the fish are washed, cut into
lengths the size OF the cans, aud fed to
the latter by machinery. Finally the
cans are stopped" cooked with steam,
and labelled for the market. Nearly all
