tributes to genius.
Miss Yandell is a Kentucky girl,

was first recognized as posse ssing eX-

an auctioneer can keep his audience

the young woman auctioneer, does not

of her work She says it is business
which keeps it's followers talking, and
for that reason it is eminently femi-

up, made application, found that she
could do it, and has been at work sew

wit enough to get the best of people
who try to talk her out of countenance
when she is at work, and seldom loses
money at her sales, although there is
always a risk, with heavy expenses to
balance the profits. Miss Hammond
does most of her work in the country

The cultivation of the plant is form
ed as nearly as possible upon natures
model, and there are only three canal
gre farms in the world. Two of these
are located in California and the third
in Arizona. All Of the plantations are
reclaimed desert land, the soil fine
sand, pale in color, and apparently
without virility
Canaigre is the most easily cultiva-
ted of any known crop, as the planting
and digging are done with an ordinary
potato digger; the slicing is also done
by machinery; the only hand work be-
ing the preparation of the cuttings for
planting. 1t has been found by actual
experiment that the cost of an acre of
canaigre, including the planting, cul.
tiVating, irrigating and harvesting, Is
$3.50 The RETURNS vary from $65 to
$50 per ton, sliced, and the yield is
from twelve to twellty tons to the acre
on new land, ana rises higher with
cultivation. The drying shrinks the
product two thirds, but the producer
can count on clear gain of 5000 to
the acre on land which will probably
cost him less than ne would pay for
farm land in any part of the United
States. He has NO fear of decay OF
his crop and no doubt about finding a
market, for SHOULD every desert acre
in California and Arizona be planted
with canaigre, the supply would still
fall far short of the demand
One of the California canaigre plan
tations consists of $4,000 acres, and
during 1897 the company CONDUCTING
it paid out 100000 in wages. Hun,
dreds OF tons were sent from these
fields of London last year, but the
great tanneries of the continent are
unable to supply themselves with the
chips.
Canaigre culture began after the
Worlds Columbian Exposition. A gen
tleman resident for a time in Mexico
had witnessed the tanning of leather
by the canaigre root fourteen years
ago, and, having a curiosity to learn
the nature of plant, sent specimens tC
Boston for analysis. This was the
beginning of series of tests costing
$4,000 in the aggregate, and demon
s,rating beyond a doubt the properties
of canaigre. An experimental station
was formed by the Government in Ari.
IONA. and the culture Of the plant
closely studied. A first award for ex.
tracted tannin and for canaigre chips
was made at the exposition, and since
that time canaigre-growing has be-
come an established industry, and one
that is likely to turn the desert into
fruitful fields. Its possibilities are
limitless, and within "a few years Cali
fornia will probably be as famous fol-
its canaigre as for its oranges, and
desert agriculture will vie, in rich re.
turns, with the great desert horticul,
ture for which the Southwest is justly
famous.

CANAIGRF A MARVEL.
ASTOUNDING POSSIBILITIES OF A
NEWLY-CULTIVATED PLANT.

1t is Used in Tanning-An Industry That
Converts Deserts into Fruitful Fields
The Story of Its Development is as Inter-
esting a Romance.
Canaigre! Perhaps the word looks
strange to unaccustomed eyes, and
there may be some hesitation in it's
utterance. "Kah-nah-gray," the In
dan pronounce it, and it is composed
of two Spanish words, which are an
equivalent for sour dock" Canaigre
is the aristocrat of the dock tribe, and
being of use to man, is like most of
natures choice gifts, placed as it
were upon the top shelf, hard to reach,
and accessible only to the persistent.
The habitat of canaigre in the Uni
ted States is Southern Texas, New
Mexico and the deserts of California
and Arizona and throughout the whole
southern portion of the Colorado des-
ert struggling patches of canaigre
grow. Until within three years, how
ever, there was not a single canaigre
farm in the whole world, and few per-
sons have the slightest idea of this
useful plant or know what it's cultiva-
ton means to the United States and
to one of the most important practical
arts.
The process of leather making has
been subject to fewer changes than
that of any other manufacture, and
has advanced with slower pace. I'm
til within our own century primitive
methods were almost wholly employed.
Within the last sixty years improved
machines for handling and depilitating
hides have come into use, but until the
discovery of canaigre there has hardly
been any real improvement in tanning
agents in a hundred years.
In few hours, varying with the sort
of hide to be tanned, the acid Of the
canaigre has done it's work, and the
saving of three months time and
vast deal of human labor in the pro-
duction of leather indicates that even
tu2lly the whole leather-using world
is to be the beneficiary of this humble
plant.

A Honeymoon At a Farmhouse.

It is no longer fashionable for the
bridal couples to go to large cities or
on a trip to Europe for their wedding
journey. The sentimental period must
be spent in some country place, way
side inn or in some quiet old town. A
couple who desired to go to a country
place near by advertised in a paper
that is distributed well over the State
for just what they would like in the
way of an ideal resort for their honey
moon Not more than a week or ten
days after the advertisement appeared
they received dozen or more answers.
Previous to the wedding the husband
to-be visited several of those whose
letters read the most invitingly and Sc
lected the place he liked the best. The
four weeks they spent there were more
like a story book than reality. The
rooms were large and airy, the table
was exquisite in its cleanliness ana the
viands that were spread before them
were deliciously tempting. A horse
and carriage were at their disposal,
the river not more than a mile away,
and scenery and loafing spots were so
plentiful that new one could be found
every day.

By having buildings exclusively de-

to be a new life given. Especially to
