Prof. $. Il. Tillman says between this
highlands of the Appalachians on the
east, of the Rocky mountains on the
west. and south of the line of the lakes,
lies the great lowland basin of the
United States. A large portion of this
area is devoid of trees. The treeless
region includes both the prairics and
plains, the former lying mainly east of
the Missouri and the latter west Of this
stream. The former are usually very
fertile. the latter generally more or
less arid. The absence of trees is one
Of the most striking, impressive and
strangcst features of these lands. In
the prairie region there are occasional!
forest areas of considerable extent, but
on the great plains there is no growing
timber save the struggling cottonwoods
that closely border the streams. Va
rious theories have been proposed to
explain tho absence of forests from
such large areas Prof. Lesquereux
suggested that it might be owing to
the unfit chemical quality of the
soil, due to the lacustrine nature of
sediments from which it came. Prof.
Whitney attributed the lack of forest
vegetation to the physical texture
fineness of the soil. and asserted that
such vegetation in the United States,
except the coast belt, is nearly coinci-
dent with the glacial gravel. The
most commonly advanced and the most
popularity accepted view is that the
great fires, which ut intervals sweep
over the regions, have destroyed and
kept down the tree growth. The fact
that trees grow and flourish both on
the plains and prairies, when planted
and protected, renders the first two
theories unsatisfactory, and it would
seem that if forest or other fires des-
troyed and then prevented forest
growths that they would also obliterate
the grass. Then, too, 1t is known that
such fires do not kill the roots of trees,
but only the growth above ground.
Mr.. j. w. Roadway has recently, in
the London Geographical Journal,
offered new explanation for the
absence of trees. lie thinks that the
carrying and distributing of forest
seeds has been mainly done through
tho agency of water, and that the
spread of forest growths without this
Natural or some artificial aid would be
very slow. He thinks that our treeless
areas have never been ovcrfowed by
running streams since they became dry
land, and, consequently, they have
never been sown with n forest seed.
Wherever the water of running streams
boc cpvao1 caaslc In va haap carriad and
forests have appeared. According to

The English Hog.

The illustration in connection with
this article shows the old English hog,
after he had been improved by genera
tions of selection and breeding. He is
hardly to be compared to the hog of
the present day, but is very great i'm

tratcd two weeks ago, and also when

compared to the Irish pig, shown last
week. This better type was brought
about by crossing the wild boar on a
Chinese SOW. I will be noticed that
the legs are much shorter, and the
meat portions we'll developed. An
early writer says: lit will weigh more
in proportion to size than wild boar
and is withal n better animal in all the
pig points" The descendants of this
old breed arc now seen principally in
the western counties of England,
where hogs of immense size are still
raised, but greatly improved, when
compared with their ancestry. all of
the points of the improved English hog
being much finer, the carcass thicker,
and the propensity to fatten greatly
increased. The breed is exceedingly
prolific, the sows, which are excellent
nurses, often having from twelve to
eighteen pigs in one litter. 1t is sup
posed that the berkshire and IIamp-
shire came originally from this stock.
but by some carlycross obtained their
present characteristics.

sweet and irish Potatoes.

Sweet potatoes and Irish potatoes
should be dug as soon rs ripe, says
Southern Planter Do not let the
crops remain in the ground until the
tops are all killed by the frost. The
roots are very apt to deteriorate after
the tops are frosted, and are more
difficult to harvest clean and dry, as
they should be to keep well. After
frost the weather is apt to be broken
and showery, and the work of digging
and housing or pieing to be delayed.
Do not store them in too great quanti-
ties in one pie or house, as they are
certain to heat and spoil. Fifty or
sixty bushels are quite sufficient to put
in one lot. Carefully sort them before
storing, and take out all damaged or
slightly decaycd roots. These,
If left in, will soon rot and in
feet the whole heap. Store them
on high, dry ground, If not put into
root house, and cover with straw and
allow them to sweat before covering
with soil. After the sweating is over,
cover with dry straw to the depth of
six inches, and beat the soil solid.
This will keep the pie at an equable
temperature and preserve the roots. If
stored in house it should be well ven
tilated to allow the moisture which
will arise from the sweating of the
stored roots to pass off, and then after
this is over the house should be closed
and kept at an even temperature dur
ing the winter This temperature
should not be over so degrees nor be-
low 40. Under these conditions the
roots will remain firm and sound and
will not sprout.

FRUIT PRODUCTION. Much more food
can be grown on an acre devoted tc
fruit than can be produced with any
kind of grain. Fruitgrowing also pro-
vidcs greater amount of work and re-
quires larger number of helpers TIC
the extent that fruit growing is substi-
tutcd for grain growing there will
naturally be an increase of country and
farming population. This is what
IS most needed to make land
valuable. The growing of grain makes
the land poorer, especially where the
grain Is sold. Where fruit is grown
the chief loss to the soil is i'm the min
eral elements. and the sale Of the fruit
brings money to purchase these. Sell
ing grain never returns enough to re-
store the fertility expended in growing

Language Giants.

The publication of Lady Richard Bur-
toms 'tLife" Of her husband recalls some
interesting facts concerning the linguistic
career Of that distinguished traveller. Like
many other language giants, he owed his
love of strange tongues to the cosmopoli-
tan education which he received. He had
his own peculiar way of mastering Ian
guage, just the same as he had a pet
theory regarding Latin pronunciation,
which, by the way, got him into hot water
at Oxford. Much of his immense stock of
knowledge he boiled down into dalectical
grammars During the first seven years
of his residence in India he passed exami-
nations, it is said, in IIindoostani, Guza-
rati Persian, Maharati, Sindhi, Punjabi,
Arabic, Telugu, Pushtu - an Afghan
tongue-Turkish and Armenian.
