Association.
The white walnut, butternut, jug
laus cineria), is indigenour to New
Brunswick, Valley of the St. Law
renee, Ontario, and most of our states
east of the Mississippi valley. In
Minnesota it is found growing among
other trees almost to the international
line; attains 60 to rs feet high and
2 to s feet diameter. Wood is light
brown, not strong, compact satiny,
susceptible of beautiful polish; used
for wooden dishes, panels, light skiffs,
etc. Bark furnishes yellow dyes;
that of the roots makes a healthful
cathartic. Nuts palatable,
The black walnut (Juglans nigra),
indigenous to most of our states east
of the Mississippi valley, is being
planted beyond it's native habitat, in
southern Canada, northern parts of
states that border on international line
and along the Pacific slopes. Pro
tected by other trees it succeeds in
Minnesota up TO the 10th parallel.
Along the Ohio and farther south, it
has been known to attain to feet
in diameter, and 100 or more feet
high. In the north its size keeps
pace with that of our pines. 1t has
been used for post and rail fences,
railroad ties, building frames, screws
for large presses, planks for sea YES
sells, naves aud hubs for wheels,
shingles, tubs, pals, nice cabinet
work, etc. As of the pines, lumber
man said of the walnuts, "Let her
CO." and go" it has been, until now
we have a famine of this valuable
timber.
The heart wood is heavy, strong,
of dark brown color, not liable to
warp OF split when properly seasoned,
compact, fine grained, secure against
worms. The wood of the European
walnut is inferior to that of the Amer
lean, but its nuts, superior. The for
mer is not adaptable to our northern
chain of states. Occasionally the
grain of our black walnut is curved
or waved into beautiful, regular fig
ure, extending into the limbs.
Such brings very high prices. Its
scions, grated into young stems of
our ordinary walnuts, may perpeture
this choice variety. The nuts
are sweet and health. From their
husks is Obtained fine dye. Both |
our white and black walnuts are fast
growers; in favorable localities bear
ing fruit in six to eight years from
the start. Plant their nuts soon as
ripe four feet apart, retaining their
on. Gradually thin out, leaving
them, say, II feet apart to spire up
for timber, those for permanent nut
orchard trees need not stand less than
20 to 30 feet apart. In August prune
these from the tips downward for low
heads and we'll ripened cells, Sur
round the plantation with other hardy
trees and scrubs, at least four rods
wide.
The chances to raise them in open I
spaces of woodland, are immense,
only keep out the fires. The timber
profit of black walnut, when mature,
is more than double that of white
pine, the nuts are said to pay better
than apples. When insulated, its
long horizontal branches trailing
down, it is majestic.

Those Who Endure

The pains of rheumatism should be
reminded that cure for this disease
may he found in Hoods Sarsaparilla.
The experience of those who have
taken Hoods Sarsaparilla for rheu
matism and have been completely
and permanently cured prove the
power of this medicine to rout and
conquer this disease. Hoods Sarsa-
parilla is the one true blood purifier
and it neutralizes the acid which
causes the pains and aches of rheu-
matism. This is why it absolutely
cures when iniments and other out
ward applications fail to give perma
nent relief. Be sure to get Hoods.

ON BEHALF or CAMELS.

|
About Them
The attempt thoroughly to break
or train camel is never made. It
would be useless. The creatures
cannot remember enough from one
day to the next even to form habits
for themselves or family attach
ments. The very epithet "wild"
applied TO camel is an absurdity.
A camel has not wit enough to be
wild. The race, run wild, would die
out of sheer stupidity. The lack of
possible training has inspired the
Arab to invent a series of appliances
which, SO far as possible, oblige the
camel to conform to what is required
of him, and for the rest there is
nothing known but patience on the
part of man.
He is led by rope fastened about
his nose and another through a ring
in his lip, He will follow his head,
because it is so inconvenient to go
any other way, and his long neck
gives the man at the farther end of
the rope the advantage of vastly
superior purchase. If the rope be
persistently jerked downward, he is
very apt eventually to follow it and
lie down. When he is down, and
they wish him to stay there, they
tie his hind foot to tn g second joint,
pnder which it always rests, for the
laws of equilibrium require a camel
to rise on his hind feet first, and if
one of them is fastened so that he
cannot straighten it he simply &C.
cepts the memorable.
If he be lying down, almost any
means to make him uncomfortable
will in time bring him to his feet,
unless the load on his back strikes
him as being unduly heavy. In
that case he will quietly submit to
being punched to death before he
will move hair.
When one rides without a leader,
he has less power with the rope and
relies upon an iron prod and the es-
tablished fact that camel is more
or less inclined to move away from
the point where it pricks him. Many
an Arab becomes marvelously dex-
ferrous in the use of this prod, SO
that the poorest kind of a camel
may be made to appear we'll broken
under his management. Arabs are
always to be found in large camel
markets, drawing good pay as ex-
hibitors
Once a camel is on his feet and
we'll started he may be relied on to
keep going unless he falls asleep
and forgets what he was doing last,
and he may also be trusted to keep
on in a straight line unless he
catches the distant odor of water or
a glimpse of withered sand shrub |
Or green thistle or nettle. Then he |
will deliberately bring his head |
about into the direction of the temp.
tation, and it often requires vigor-
Gus punching and pulling to prevent
his body from following it.
If this happen while his rider is
experienced camel rider
is almost always asleep-the camel |
rarely stops, but, with dexterous
swing of his head, pulls up the net
tie by thesroots or breaks a brittle |
twig from the shrub and goes on,
quietly munohing, but he always
goes on in the new direction, no
matter how much at variance it may |
be from the trail, and he keeps on
till he himself falls asleep-some-
times for an hour or two after it
even-or till his rider wakes up. I
passed an entire van once where |
every man and every camel was
sound asleep.-Current Literature.
