A piece of contemporary geology is
being worked in New Jersey. The
whole coast line has been long sink
ing, and the process is still going ON.
A curious industry is carried ON in the
southern part of the State. the mining
for cedar. Some of these noble trees
exhumed from their swampy burial
exceed three feet in diameter, with tho
timber perfectly sound, The clay"
OF these uprooted trees indicates tho
devastation, probably, of extraor-
dinary cyclones, occurring at immense
intervals of time, thus leveling ono
forest upon another that had been
thrown down long before. The eedars
growing there to-day send their roots
among their long buried ancestors.
The rings upon tho exhumed trees
show growth OF 1890, or possibly
2000 years, aud the existence of at
least two buried forests below tho
present growth is indisputable, 49,

PEA VINES AS MANURE.

When fall crop is taken after pick
ing green peas for market it is n usual
practice to gather the pea vines and
cart them out of the field. They are
often worth more as a fertilizer to be
plowed under just as they are. If a
few seed peas are left ripe enough to
grow, it will be none the worse for the
future crop. The pea vine is strongly
nitrogenous, and makes fertilizer
richer than much strawy and fire
fanged stable manure. 1t has the fur
ther advantage of being somewhat wet,
MS the moisture has not had time to
dry out. We have seen the best crops
of late turnips grown thus, and they
were seemingly not at all injured by
the few pea vines that came up among
them. The pea root gathers nitrogen
from air in the soil, as the clover root
does, and growing it as green manure
adds more to the fertility of soil than
does any other crop excepting clover.

CULTIVATION OF THE ORCHARD.

The opinion of horticulturists differs
widely on the cultivation that should
be given to the orchard. Some believe
that the best results are obtained when
the grass is allowed to grow in the or
chard, while others recommend n shall
low and frequent loosening CT the soil,
while still others favor deep plowing
several times during the season. Many
have tried subsoiling before planting
and some continuing it after, and al
though the expense was quite heavy,
they heartily favor that method. Disk
narrowing has been tried in many sec
tions and good results have been re-
ported in the majority of cases.
Another point on which difference
of opinion is expressed is where to
plant the orchard, on the low land
bordering II stream or on the upland.
In the Arkansas Valley, those who raise
fruit for the market select the first
bottom for the orchards. The land
there is well drained and has u good
sub-irrigation. In other parts OF the
State orchardists, fully as extensive
growers, avoid planting on the lower
ground, beginning their orchards well
up the hillside and continuing to the
summit American Farmer.

HOW TO MILK .

1t is very important to free the
udder entirely from milk for two rea-
sons. The first is that these 'strip-
pings viii dry up the COW in n very
short time. Tho other is the fact that
one pint of the milk last drawn con
tains as much butter fat as one quart
of that obtained at the beginning OF
the milking. In addition to these
there is the actual loss in the amount
of milk at the time. To show how
considerable this loss is the following
test was recently made: Five COWS
were milked for period of foul
weeks by two different persons, botl
being competent parties, one of them
doing his average milking and not
aware that an experiment was under
way, the other fully informed rs tc
the nature of the experiment and ex
pected to contribute his best skill fol
the purpose in view. In the case oi
the one unaware of the experiment the
yield of milk for the two weeks from
the five COWS was S6i pounds. With
no more cows or chance, the man who
was posted got l131 pounds, or 267
pounds more than the other. New

ABSOLUTELY plJRE
ABSOLUTELY PURE
Alaska Fish.

In this modern day of Government
schools, ready-made clothing, and
two o-dollars-a-day wages, almost the
only picturesqueness left to native life
is during the salmon runs Families
and tribes betake themselves to their
hereditary fishing grounds to catch
and dry their salmon for winter use,
and isolated summer camps break the
forested shore-line with fine effect.
A row of black canoes on the beach, n
cluster of bark or matted tents, with
frames of drying salmon overhanging
the camp-tires, are set between some
clear still green water foreground and
On abrupt screen of greenest menzie
or merton spruces. The racks of fish
give touches of high color to the
scene, as the further north they are
caught the redder the Pacific salmon
are; and i'll Lynn Canal some of these
camps look MS if decorated with red
bunting. All is salmon that comes to
the Tingit, and he makes no distinc-
ton between king, red, silver, hump
back, or dog salmon, rather preferring,
on the whole, the coarse, rank flesh
of the last, which no white man wants );
hence he RACES Mt the cannery's waste
and the destruction of his chief food
supply. Since the corrupting touch
of trade has even reached their salmon
streams, the natives now make per-
manent summer villages beside the
canneries. The men work for the
company, and the women and children
do little Independent fishing, but
more regularly follow the cannery
scows and fill their canoes with re-
jected salmon, as Gamers use only
about third of all fish seized. Thus
in midsummer, Alaska villages are ms
empty of their first families as any
Eastern city, and the tourists see
closed houses, and not third of the
regular inhabitants. Census onumer-
ators work Zealously, but vainly, in
attempting to count the natives when
they are scattered in rcmotest hooks
all over the archipelago, half of them
padding their canoes from one place
to another, and AS likely to be counted
twice as not at all during the summer.
The white mans fisheries are more
prosaic, less fragrant, and never
picturesque in themselves. One finds
the canneries in the furthest hooks
and inches of the archipelago, each
with II finer landscape setting than the
last There is always mountain
background and clear brawling
stream coming from the dense forest.

LOSS OF YOUNG TURKEYS.

Young turkeys are difficult to real
without every convenient provision fo1
safety from damp and wet. 1t is best
to house them at night in a long, low
shed, divided into apartments, one fol
each brood. Here they should be fed
in the morning before they are let out
and in the evening when driven in be-
fore the dews fall The coops may be
five feet high at the rear and three feet
in the front, with one glazed sash,
hinged, for the door Entrance will
then be easy to clean the coops and
take in the food. The flocks should
be driven up early and then shut in the
yard in which the coops are made.
Exposure to one cold rain will kill
every one of brood until the red oi
the head and neck, which is sign OF
full puberty, appears. After that they
are not so tender, but will yet need
care.-New York Times.

The Vision %! Birds.

Birds have very acute vision, per
haps the most acute of any creature,
and the sense is also more widely diff
fused over the retina than is the cas-,
with man; consequently n bird can
see sideways as well as objects in front
of it. A bird sees-showing great un
casinoss i'll consequence hawk long
before it is visible to man. So. too,
fowls and pigeons find minute scraps
of food, distinguishing them from what
appear to us exactly similar pieces OF
earth or gravel
Young chickens are also able to find
their own food-knowing its position
and how distant it is-as soon as they
are hatched, whereas child only very
gradually learns either to see or to un-
derstand the distance of objects. Sew.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
NEW FRUIT PREsERvATIvE.

A man who has been working ten
years at n new process for preserving
fruits and vegetables now offers to
housewives the fruit of his labor. 1t
is in the form of powder which,
added to water, preserves the fruits by
destroying the germ which causes
ferment. By it's use it is claimed that
certain fruits, notably peaches, pre-
serve their natural flavor so perfectly
that they may be served as fresh
fruits. This mysterious powder has
the fantastic power to turn black ber-
ries white, while it deepens the hues
of some of the light-colored fruits.
When ready to use jar of the fruit in
the winter, if preserves are wished, a
syrup is prepared and turned over the
fruit. One hundred and twenty eight
quarts of fruit may be prepared from q
pound of the powder. - New York
Post.

WHEN NOT TO USE EGGS.

Not in rice pudding, which you do
not want to have turned into GUS
tard. The genuine rice pudding is
made rich and creamy by constantly
stirring into it the top skin of the
milk, as it forms in the baking pan, as
soon as it begins to turn yellow with
the heat. Continue to stir in this top
until the rice is well softened and
the pudding nearly done. Then you
may let the top brown, and you will
have perfect pudding when cold-as
good as ice cream. 1t needs no fla
voring except little cinnamon, al
though some people like to CRATE lemon
peal into it. Eggs are not needed
either in muffin. Good English muf-
fins are made of bread dough softened
to batter with milk. One egg to
quart of milk, flour to make a batter
and spoonful of baking powder
makes perfect English mullins Two
eggs spoil it and make it quite another
article. st. Louis Republic.

Indian Houses at the Worlds Fair.

Near the Anthropological Building
are several outdoor displays of more
than usual interest The party sent
out by Professor Putnam to the runs
of Yucatan and Copan secured at
Uxmal, Chichen-Itza, and Labnah
''squeezes" of some doorways, cor
ners, arches, etc, showing every de-
tail of ornament and symbollcal carv-
ing. From these molds casts have
been made exactly reproducing the
structures. A group of five of these
lies north from the Anthropological
Building. North from this is an in
teresting series of homes of various
American Indians The palm thatched
hut of the Arawaks of Guiana; the
long house of the Iroquois, construct
ed of bark, and divided into six spaces
within, one for each of the Six Ma
tions; the birch bark tent of the Pen
obscot Indians of Maine; the skin
covered tepee of the plains tribe; the
dome-shaped framework of poles, COW
cred with rush mating, of the Algon-
kins the plank-covered houses of the
kwalliool of Vancouver Island, and
the Haidah of Queen Charlotte Islands
with their symbolical paintings and
totem posts; these range along tho
edge of the lagoon on whose waters
Hoat various canoes and boats of the
natives These houses have been built
from proper materials by the Indians
themselves, and most of them are in
habited by families of Indians, some
OF whom carry on their native arts and
industries Very interesting in this
connection will be the series of dances
of the Kwaliools, for which Doctor
Boas has arranged, which will take
place at intervals through the season.
