IVORY KEPT IN COLD STORAGE.
Tusks of Mammoths Found in the Icy
Barrens of Siberia.

With the constantly decreasing sup
priced substance would soon command
almost prohibitive prices were it not
for the existence in the frozen tundras
of Siberia of a sufficient quantity of
mammoth ivory to accommodate the
worlds demand for generations to
come. There in the soil are found
tons, of fine ivory, the product of the
mammoth (Elephas primigenius), a
species closely allied to the elephant
of India, but protected from the in
tense cold of the arctic regions by a
coat of long, coarse hair growing over
fine woolly under-fur at the skin.
Thousands of the frozen carcasses
are found crowded and damned togeth-
er in certain spots. Science does not
attempt to explain how the giant ami
mails were able to live in a climate
that preserves their remains by freez-
ing. The reason for the great &C
cumulations of mammoths in certain
places is also mystery. The theory
that the bodies were carried there by
warmer southern districts is unten-
able. Examination of the stomachs
Of some of the frozen mammoths re-
veals the presence of parts of pine
needles and other vegetable sub
stances, from which it is inferred that
the tundras must have had a forest
growth during the mammoth epoch. The
GO irdi
stomachs of the two species of rhin-
oceros which lived contemporaneously
with the mammoth in the tundras.
Similar concentrated accumulations
of bones of large recent mammals
have been found in certain districts of
East Africa.
This mammoth ivory, far from be-
ing recent discovery, was known to
the ancients, and has been used for
centuries as an article or commerce
and manufacture. The records show
that as early as 1921 ivory of this kind
to the extent of 10000 pounds was
marketed in Yakutsk, and that annual
averaged over $4,000 pounds In 1910
DR.. Middendorff, who visited the vast
territory, estimated that the annual
output of Siberian ivory reached
100000 pounds, representing at least
100 individual mammoths. Baron
Nordenskiold estimated in 1875 that
fully 10000 Siberian mammoths had
contributed their ivory to the worlds
markets since the conquest of Siberia

PLANTING THE GARDEN.
How 1t Can Be Made More Profitable
and Generally Useful.

Before the time for planting comes
make a plan of the garden and plant
Systematically, so as to get the most
off the ground next season, and thus
make the garden more profitable than
it ever has been before.
Plant all the rows north and south,
so as to allow the sun to shine equally
on every row and on both sides of
them.
Plant the early radishes, lettuce,
beets, peas and beans by themselves
along one side of the garden, planting
the later vegetables in another strip,
so as to have one side of the garden
clear as soon as possible in order to
put in the later GRIP of cucumbers for
pickles, winter squashes, turnips, eel
cry, etc.
If the garden is planted in this way
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1899-06-26

it will be possible to grow two crops
on all of it, but that part devoted to
lima beans, parsnips and one or two
other things that require the whole
season. Squash vines planted among
the early potatoes will begin to run
about the time the potatoes are used
up, and will have free space to grow
in.
Put on coat of manure and pillow
it in as soon as the ground can be
worked in the spring. 1t may even be
plowed little wet, if the work is done
early enough so that it will freeze aft
erward, as the frost will break up the
soil and make it loose and friable.
Plow deep and thoroughly, for there is
no better preventive of the effects Of
drought than deep blowing and perfect
pulverization.
The farm garden that does not pro-
duce at least $50 worth of vegetables
on half an acre is land wasted, and
with a little pains twice this amount
may be produced. Farmers Voice.

The Summer Bath.

Nothing is more refreshing and invigor-

to have it beneficial soft water and good
soap must be used. Ivory Soap is the best
for the purpose; it is pure, dissolves
quickly, sweetens and purifes the cuticle,
gives a healthful glow to the skin. and
leaves it white and soft. Early in the
morning or just before retiring at night
will be found the most suitable times for
bathing. ELIZA r. PARKER.
