next day reported from Central Amer
lea. Conversely, the great earthquakes
of 1867 appeared to originate in Central
America, travelled to the Virgin islands,
where they reached their maximum
force, and thence onward to Venezuela.
1t is perhaps needless to add that in
view of these facts West Indians are ut
present on the qui vive for earthquakes;
knowing only too well what they have
to expect, but being in horrible state
of uncertainty just where and when tn
look out for it. These terrific pheno-
mena are awful enough visitations III
continental lands; but their terror is
simply unspeakable in sea-girt isles
where the whelming tidal wave is an
almost inevitable accompaniment when
once the island gets fairly swaying on
its ocean bed.
This, however, scarcely applies to the
Greater Antilles, which comprise Cuba,
Jamaica, Hayti and Porto Rico. Any
convulsion that could seriously affect
such huge land areas would necessarily
have to be cataclysmic in its nature,
And it is moreover matter of history
that the Greater Antilles have never
suffered seriously from earthquakes.
The historic catastrophe that swal-
lowed up Port Royal in 1892 was not,
properly speaking, an earthquake at all
If we may use the expression, it was
simply an earth-break. The Inflated
city was built on an overhanging
tongue of coral shoal. Its foreshorc
warehouses were full of millions oil
tons of Spanish Main spoils. A very
slight earthquake did probably occur
which split the coral at the point OF
strain-and the dead weight did the
rest. And that was the only record
earthquake" that Jamaica history tells
about. t. p. PORTER.

LETTUCE GROWN IN A POT.

roots soon fill the pot and grow out into
the soil of the bench through the drain
age hole in the bottom of the pot, Be
ing thus buried in the soil the little pots
do not dry out as rapidly as they would
do were they exposed to the air.
The moment pot is removed from
the bench another may be set in its
place without waiting to clear the
bench, or any portion of it, Of the rest
Of the lettuce. The method thus proves
economical, both of time and space.
Grocers and other retail dealers readi-
ly appreciate the advantage of having
lettuce grown in this way. 1t permits
them to keep the lettuce on hand for a
considerable length of time and still
present it to their customers crisp,
fresh and attractive, instead of wilted
and unattractive.
When the plant is ready for market
il may be knocked out of the pot and
the ball of earth and roots undisturbed
may be wrapped sungly in old paper.
The earth will thus keep moist for a
long time and furnish moisture to the
plants through the roots which are i'm
bedded in it. Local customers may be
supplied with lettuce in the pots, and
the pots returned after the plants are
taken from them.
While the subject of forcing is thus
under consideration, few hints on the
care of a crop may not be amiss. a.

Don't blame the wenther.

Don't blame the wet season for the
condition of many of your roads. See
that your candidates for local offices
favor good roads, and then supply them
with the information that will enable
them to know how to get and keep
them. Most people are all at sea on
these subjects. The heavy rains of
the summer have given startling object
lessons to road-builders and superin-
tendents in some sections of the coun-
try. Roads that were nearly fiat and
which lacked proper drainage were
swept over by the water. In some spots
the surface was torn away; in others it
was covered with stones and earth.
This did not happen where roads were
suitably crowned and drained.-L. A.

as comparative photography throws
any light on their geological history
they belong to an area of upheaval
rather than subsistence. That is to say,
instead of their being, as used to be gen
orally thought the remnants of some
vast continent that was swept away in u
great cataclysm, some equally mighty
CONFUSION hurled them upward from
the bowels of the earth through the bed
of the ocean. And this being so, they
might, some day or other, suddenly re-
turn whence they came; like the island
in Cooper's story, Marks Reef" The
prospect is rather thrilling one, it
must be admitted; but science is an un-
compromising teacher.
This fact has been called to mind by
the recent terrific earthquakes that
swept the Leeward islands group of the
Antilles. Some account of the occur
renee was telegraphed to the New York
papers; but telegraphing is an expen-
size business down here, and news
travels slowly. Hence the full details

somewhat like philosophers-they yield
their information only to the earnest

Hence it IS safe to assume that com

knowledge could convey to the mind

Prncticed with Success.
The method of forcing lettuce in pots
may be of interest to those who grow
lettuce under glass either in the anna
teur way or MS Il commercial product,
The preparation Of soil for lettuce
should not be too heavy. 1t should be
composed of three parts by measure
OF loan, one of manure and one of sand.
The seed is sown in boxes about IL
by 10 inches and three inches deep, or
on the bench. Benches are six inches
deep, the lower three inches being
filled with well-rotted manure, and the
upper three inches with potted soil pre-
pared as described above
When the plants are about two inches
high they are transplanted to two-inch
pots. The benches are filed with soil,
in which the pots containing the let
tuce are plunged, so that the tops of the
pots are covered with about half an
inch of soil A little drainage material
is put in the bottom of each pot, The
plants are usually set on the benches
about ten inches apart each way, The

OLD Fruit TREES.
Autumn Is the Best Season in which
10 RcnOVnte Them.


In the fall is one OF the best times
to begin renoyating trees that have
been neglected and are not too old. In
a majority of cases feeble growing and
unhealthy trees are as rule the re-
suit of starvation, bad soil or unfavor-
able conditions. In many cases remed-
ial treatment will convert into thrifty,
vigorous trees.
One of the surest signs Of debility in
a tree is the pushing out of ndventi-
tious growths from the trunks and
main branches, and the dying off year
by year of the small, twiggy, terminal
shoots.
When the land has been seeded to
grass for a considerable time and es-
pecially when no manure has been APP
piled, trees will begin to show signs of
unthriftiness.
Flowing the ground in good season in
the fall, giving the trees good prun-
ing, and then before severe cold weather
sets in applying good dressing of ma
nure; scattering broadcast us far out
under the trees as the branches extend.
When the tree is healthy the top is
luXuriant, but If the tree gets weak or
old the top makes but little growth il
it does not die.
In pruning all Of the dead or decay
ing limbs should be cut out, and suf'
fcient growth to leave an open head'
In many cases proper pruning and ma
nuring will be all that is necessary to
revive reasonably young tree. When
a tree is dying of old age very little
can be done TO sustain the lowering
vitality,
In some cases trees are unthrifty for
want of proper drainage. If water
stands around the roots the tree will
not make healthy growth and provd-
ing proper drainage is, of course, the
proper remedy
A little needed work in the orchard
done in good season in the fall will
often make an orchard that has been
in great sense failure, a source of
proft.-N. j. Shepherd, in Farmers

Gravity Dreaming in Kansas.

Gravity Dreaming in the private dairy
loses more fat than most farmers dream
of. If ice is used at once after milking
to reduce the water round the cans to
about 40 degrees Fahrenheit the fat will
rise, leaving not more than one-fifth of
one per cent, and if the water is at 60
degrees or above one per cent. or more
will be left in the skim milk. This one
or more per cent. is third OF half of
all the fat in the milk. This suggests
the putting up of ice by the private
dairyman. The climate of Kansas pro-
vides for this and is greater boon than
many imagine.

docs not appear to have been very ex-
tensve. The center Of the disturbance
was Mt Montserrat, and II spread Themes
westward to the Virgin islands and
southwark to Martinique. The shocks
lasted throughout one whole week Of
terror. Houses were thrown down
and great tidal waves swept up over tbs
ruins, drowning many who had escaped
from their crumbling dwellings. Thus
q large number of lives were lost.
The islands have always been subject
10 these visitatons; and this Is not TO
be wondered at, considering that the
while chain of the Antilles forms n sort
of outlaying seismic area to the volcanic
region that traverses the continent and
which is as active to-day as 1t ever was
IN past historic ages, 1t Is true that Of
late years the West Indies have had few
really serious earthquakes 10 record.
Scarcely month ever passes in which
slight shocks do not happen in one
island or the other, but the great events
since 1912, when the st, Vincent volcano
(now supposed to be extinct erupted,
may be counted on the fingers OF one
hand. St. Vincent, st, Lucia, Dominica,
Guadalupe and the Virgin islands haze
been the sufferers from these calami-
tous vistations.
The former island, in the year mem
tened, was the scene Of a volcanic erup-
ton that nearly swallowed it up. Its
whole face was changed. In 1919 the
Virgin islands (Which include st.
Tkomas), about so islets, large and
small, were torn and rent by an earth
Quake; some OF the islands were joined
together and Others became divided;
nils sank into plains and valleys
belled up into hills. In 1867 they
suffered in much the same way, their
geography being again somewhat modt-
fed. Between these years Guadalupe
and Dominica had several visitations,
and in 1878 the so-called Boiling lake"
or water crater, of the latter had an
eruption which shook the island to its
center, flung down mountains into
valleys, filled up rivers, creating dis
astrous floods. and covered the island
fer two hours in forenoon with a
cloud of impenetrable darkness. In
ali of these commissions there was great
loss of life.
Since 1878 there has been no earth.
quake in any Of the islands worth re-
cording until those of April Montser-
rat, which has not hitherto had n record
earthquake, was the princiW sufferer
on this occasion; and it is notable tact
tiat never before in the history OF West
Indian earthquakes has the area
affected been so extensive. or course
science has to confess to very scant
knowledge Of the phenomena OF earth
auakes: but in so far as these islands
are concerned, the vistations appear 10
run in cycles like the weather. ltwould
also seem as though the channels of
communication or conclusion - or
whatever they might be termed--have
recently cleared themselves for action;
or "bown out" so to speak. Asan indi-
cation Of this, it may lie mentioned that
scme month or so ago, previous to the
late severe shocks, an earthquake that
occurred in Antigua and Montserrat
simultaneously Travelled down to this
island ahead of the telegram announc-
ing its occurrence there, and was the

About four years ago, scientific at

rusty-reddish tint. The new mush-
room proved to be of an excellent quail

harvesting weedy Potatoes.

That sins of neglect will follow
a man until he is duly punished is never
more conclusively proven than when
the neglected potato field comes to be
harvested. Not only is the crop greatly
lessened, but the labor of harvesting
has been increased. AS a matter Of
fact, the farmer who can and does keep
his potatoes free from weeds saves la
Dor by the operation. Sooner or later
the weeds have to be uprooted. 1t costs
less to do this while they are small. If
done then the yield of marketable tu-
bers is so much increased and the ex-
pense of harvesting is decreased, so
that it really costs less to harvest a
large crop kept free from weeds than
to harvest a crop failure made so be-
cause overrun with weeds.
