THE CAMPHoR TREE.

1t Can BE Planted SUCCESSFULLY In
Some Southern States.
Camphor trees may be grown either
from seed or from cuttings. They are
usually grown from seed, as the trees
fruit abundantly, and seedlings can be
grown more easily than cuttings. The
seeds are collected at maturity in Oc-
tober and November, and after drying
are packed in sharp white sand or some
similar material TO keep them fresh I'M
til the time of planting in spring.
About the last of March they are sown
in drills in the seed bed.
The soil of the seed bed should be q
good sandy loan mixed with about one
third leaf mold. The seed bed should
be kept moist, but not too wet, and
should be shaded from the direct rays
of the sun if the weather is warm.
The best soil temperature for germinat-
ing camphor seeds is from 70
to IS degrees Fahrenheit. The tenn
perature of the atmosphere may be ten
degrees higher. The seedlings will

A Methodical Man,

Just as Virgins was ready to leave home
the other morning to go down to his Office,
his wife said to him:
"John, wish you would stop at Blank &
Co.'s department store and have them to
send me up three yards of goods to match
this sample"
"All right" said Virgins, reaching for
the sample. GLOW much will it COST"

"But l must know the exact cost" he
persisted, cor can't stop for it. am in a

grow well at higher temperature, but
are likely to lack vigor and hardness.
The seedlings may be grown in pots,
which will facilitate transplanting at
any time, or they may be transplanted
in nursery rows early in April when
one year old. Plants two years old are
generally regarded as best for final
planting. At this age they vary from
20 to 40 inches in height.
When set out for ornamental pur-
poses, the camphor tree may be expect
ed to grow, in favorable situations,
about as rapidly as LIE Conte pear, and
to require about as much room. In
Japan, where the law requires that a
aew tree shall be set out for every one
cut, they are not generally set in
straight orchard rows, but cultivation
there is performed almost exclusively
by hand labor. There are no records
showing results of regular orchard
planting, hence the distances at which
trees should be planted must be de-
termined by the size and form of the
trees and the method of cultivation and
of procuring the gum. They may be
set closely in rows about ten feet apart,
and alternate rows cut and reset every
five years, thus producing bush-like
plants of ten years growth. They may
be planted in checks ten feet square,
and alternate trees cut every ten or
twelve years, or they may be planted in
larger checks, and all of the trees be
cut at the age of Is or 20 years.
There are not sufficient data obtain
able upon which to base definite state
ments as to the best methods of plant
ing or the age at which the trees may
be cut with greatest profit for the pro-
duction of gum. A recent English con-
sular report from japan states that
although hitherto the youngest wood
from which camphor was extracted was
about 20 to so years old, it is expected
that under the present scientific man
agement the trees will give equally
good results after 25 or 30 years" Cam
phor of good quality has been produced
in Florida from the leaves and twigs of
trees less than 20 years old, one pound
of crude gum being obtained from n
pounds of leaves and twigs.
The trees will endure severe pruning
with little apparent injury. One-third
of the leaves and young shoots may be
removed at one time without material
ly checking the growth of the tree. The
largest proportion of camphor is con-
tanned in the older, larger roots; the
trunk, limbs, twigs and leaves contain
ing successfully decreasing proper
ton. When the camphor tree is killed
nearly to the ground by frost it sends
up vigorous shoots from the base. 1t
may be expected to do the same when
cut, especially if cut late in the fall. Elk
periments are needed to determine
whether this growth may be depended
upon, or whether it will be more profit
able to dig out the larger roots and set
out new seedlings.-Lyster Il. Dewey,
Assistant in Division of Botany, Depart
ment of Agriculture.

The Pronosed Duty on Tea.

Dubuque, Ia, May 26.-The whole
sale grocers of Iowa who have been
caught on the short side of tea have
sent a delegation to Washington to see
what Senator Allison can do for them.
Before the tariff Of ten cents a pound
on tea was publicly suggested by the
senate committee these grocers sold for
future delivery in such quantities that
one Chicago house stands to lose $780,
900 if compelled to furnish taxed tea,
and Iowa houses will also lose heavily.
The importers have discounted the
future and have sold their stocks at a
liberal advance on former prices. One
Chicago and New York house is report
ed to have cleaned up $250,000, and
other importers are supposed to have
done equally we'll. The grocers tried
to cover, with the result that the de-
mand for immediate shipment raised
in Japan ~ cents. Some Of the gro
GERS, rather than stand this, decided to
countermand their orders and take
their chances of securing modification
of the tariff bill.
The delegation sent to Washington
was appointed at conference in Chi
cago last week and headed ny f. A..
Hancock, of Dubuque. They will ask
that the tariff bill be amended to pro-
vide for a rebate on the tax on all tea
imported to fill orders taken before the
senate bill was reported.

The last of the Indian companies OF

Fort Sill, o. T., is to be disbanded.
This marks the end of the effort to
make efficient soldiers out Of the war
like aborigines of the frontier. AT first
the experiment babe fair to be success
full. Several companies, both Of cavalry
and infantry, were organized in COM
mand of white officers who had mani
tested particular friendliness for the
Indians. The young braves liked the
jaunty uniforms, and promptly mas
tered the intricacies of military evolu-
tions. They became men Of mark in
their tribes. But soon the rigid dis
cipline and the enforced absence from
their homes and families became irk-
some. They began to neglect their
duties and to appear first Indifferent.
then sullen and mutinous. One by one
the Indian troops and companies have
been disbanded until there remained
only the command at Fort Sill, COM
posed of fifty of Geronimo's Apache
warriors. Though they will cease to
be regular soldiers Of the United States,
these Indians will not leave the mill
tary service. They will probably be
retained, as other former soldiers have
been, as scouts, in which capacity the
red braves have had ample experience

The owner of a valuable Newfound-
land dog in New Orleans sought dam.
ages from railroad company for killing
it. The case turned on the validity of
an act Of the Louisiana legislature,
recognizing dogs as personal property
only when placed on the assessment
rolls. The supreme court sustains the
law and refuses damages, since the dog
was not assessed, incidentally defining
the law in regard to dogs in general as
follows: "The very fact that they are
without protection of the criminal laws
shows that property in dogs is of an
imperfect or qualified nature. and that
they stand, as it were, between animals
ferae naturae, in which, until subdued,
there is no property, and domestic ami
mails, in which the right of property is
complete. They are not considered as
being upon the same plane with horses,
cattle, sheep and other domestic ami
mails, but rather in the category of cats,
monkeys, parrots, singing birds and
similar animals kept for pleasure, Curl
osity or caprice. Unlike domestic ami
mails, they are useful neither as beasts
of burden, for draft, nor for food"
