New Rubber Plant.

Rubber being in growing demand,
scientific men have been trying to OBJ.
tain it from plants which had not
been available commercially before:
Two French chemists, NM. Arnaud
and Vernuii, have discovered proc
ess by which it may be obtained from
the Landolfia vine, which grows wild
and luXuriantly in nearly all parts of
Africa. The process of tapping the
Landolfia is impracticable as the flow
of rubber hardens too quickly. By
the new process the vine is crushed in
hot water, by which means all the
rubber it contains Is extracted.

Real Dance.

The modern society ball in America
is little more than dress promenade,
but i'll Russian ballroom the guests
actually dance; they do not merely
shamble to and fro in crowd,
crumpling their clothes and rufling
their telnpers, and call it a set of
quadrilles. They have ample space for
the sweeping movements and compile
Gated figures of all the orthodox ball
dances, and are generally gifted with
sufficient plastic grace to carry them
out in style. They carefully cultivate
dances calling for kind of grace which
is almost beyond the reach of art. The
mazurka is one of the finest of these.
and it is quite favorite at balls on
the banks of the Neva. 1t needs a good
deal of room, one or more spurred Off
GERS and grace. Listen to the descrip-
ton: ''The dash with which the part
ners rush forward, the clinking and
Gathering of spurs as heel clashes with
heel in midair, punctuating the stac-
cato of the music; the loud thud of
boots striking the ground, followed by
their sibilant slide along the polished
floor; then the swift springs and sud-

dizzy evolutions, the graceful genufeo-
tions and quick embraces and all the
other intricate and maddening move-
ments to the accompaniment of one Of

heroism and medieval chivalry."
There is more genuine pleasure in be-
ing the spectator of a soul-thrilling
dance like that than in taking an active
part in the lifeless make-believes per-
formed at society balls in many of the
more western countries of Europe or in

were kept almost exclusively for wool
and the aged slaughtered for market in
poor condition, tough and tasteiess,
"sheep meat was not popular. Those
days are past; mutton is appreciated
and lamb is a delicacy that brings high
prices. Mutton eating is rapidly in
creasing.

The banana is said to seed only in
one country, and that is on the Anda-

necessity propagated by offshoots or
suckers, which the plant freely pro-

According to a scotsman pumpkins

from these states that most Of the seed

Probably any one who has ever had

Cornmeal is faYorite feed for

fat. Time was when a man was asham-
ed to own potbellied calf, but now
adays unless caused by something else

ton rather. A dairy COW needs COM

Western Texas is today like the gar

are like some vheatfields in the east.

already as fat as they can well be. It

About Planting Trees.

Permanent apple trees are none too
far apart at 40 feet. The plan of set
ting three Kieffer pear trees to one APP
pie tree, using them as filters or tempo
rary trees in the apple orchard. is very
good. The Kieffer pear trees will bear
SO early and so heavily that they will
probably be ready to come out by the
time the apple trees need all the space.
AT any rate, they must come out when
their room is needed, or the apple or
chard will suffer damage from being
crowded. But if every tenth apple or
chardist was to plant Kieffer pears in
this way, we would have such a glut
that all the canning factories in the
country could not work up the fruit. 1t
is not good plan to plant other stand
ard pear trees In an apple orchard, be-
cause they usually live to be old and
need almost as much room as apple
trees Twenty feet would be ample
room for kieffer trees. says H. Il. Van
Deman in Rural New Yorker

October and November are the
months for planting bulbs, but those
who have not done so before these
months expire need not fear to do SO
later, even should il be in open wealth
er succeeding freezing time, accord
ing to such good authority as Joseph
Meehan, who says in Country Gentle
man: 1 have planted them at New Year
and have had fine bloom. Indeed there
is no reason why one should not, as all
that is required is to have them in the
ground two or three months before
blooming, so that there Will be ample
time for them to make root. From the
early part of January to the beginning
Of April, which is the time bulbs flower
here, there is ample time for the forma-
ton of roots if but little aid is given.
This assistance can easily be given
by mulehing to keep the frost out. But
it should be said first that late planting
will be the better If the bulbs are set
an inch or two deeper than common to
be out of the reach of frost. Hyacinths,
for instance, which usually are set
with their tops two inches under
ground, should be four inches. After
they are planted cover the beds with
leaves, manure, hay or straw. Perhaps
the best of all covering Is loose, well
rotted manure, because it need not be
removed when winter is over. Forest
leaves make a warm, excellent cover
ing, but n few inches in depth, keeping
out the severest frost. In this protect
ed way late ones will do as well as car
" planted ones.
The mistake is sometimes made of
planting bulbs in sheltered hooks close
to dwelling, where it is too warm for
them. Flowers are developed SO early
that late frosts catch them. Some
years ago l set some hyacinths and
crocuses close to the wall on the south
side of my dwelling. rarely get full
satisfaction from them. Besides the

ers universally appear in February or
March. Should it be an open spell all
goes well, and even if it freezes at
night l get some satisfaction from
them by covering them, but in later
paintings l see to it that the position is
not too sheltered.
Hyacinths and tulips are first
thought of for the bulb beds. In ar
ranging these do not forget that the
hyacinth flowers first. Tulips come
later and last longer. Therefore the
hyacinth bed can be used sooner in
spring for the planting of summer
blooming plants should It be desired
to use it for such a purpose. have
known spring planting delayed consid-
erably because of tulips occupying beds
intended for the plants.

Preserving Nnturc.

America is doing well in preserving
areas of special interest In England
there is a public society. known as the
National Trust, that is buying up tracts
for the purpose of preserving wild
plants and animals of rare value in
natural history. Part of 4 huge swamp,
known as Wicken Fen. has recently
been purchased by this society for this
laudable purpose.
King Leopold of Belgium, who has
been lifelong patron of gardening,
has donated the whole of his real es-
tate in that country for parks and
pleasure grounds for the people for
ever. He could not do anything bet
ter to have his name held in grateful
remembrance as long as his country
shall endure.-Meehan's Monthly.

guided by the action of the tongue to
the orifice of the sac in the throat. As
soon as this has been thoroughly learn

COTTON BOIL WEEvlL-.


Turn the Texas Steer Into the Fields
and Craze Them Darc.
while the following by Professor
Mnlly may no longer be applicable In
practice this season 1t Is Of great In
terest to all cotton planters who have
suffered from the rayages Of the boil
weevil. Professor Mally says in Farm
and Ranch. In much OF the infested
territory no cotton remains yet unopen-
ed, and all has been gathered. In some
portions there may yet be a small
amount to open and gather. The
growth of the plant however, has new
er been interrupted and still continues
to make young squares in which Wee
wills deposit their eggs. This will
propagate more weevils. which viii
pass through the winter ready for the
new crop of cotton next spring.
There is an easy method within the
reach of all TO destroy almost the en-
tire number of living weevils now in
the cotton field. Cattle and horses are
fond of eating the young tips of the
cotton now on the plants. At this time
also practically all the weevils are
feeding In these tips and young
squares, and the cattle eating the
young cotton growth devour also this
pernicious pest. l have been in fields
where from one to five weevils could
be found at the tips or growing ends
of every cotton plant and have seen
the Texas steer Craze off these tender
portions and the weevils with them,
This field is now as bare as midwinter,
and rarely is a weevil to be found any
where on the premises. really be-
lieve that 80 per cent Of the weeyils
were actually eaten and destroyed.
This planter need not therefore fear
weeyiI attack next year until late IN
the season. when the pest may spread
to him from his neighbors. This I'M
pels me to make n most urgent appeal
to every cotton planter in the weevli
district to g:eher up enough OF his own
and his neighbours cattle to absolutely
clear his fields of every living yestige
of growing cotton. Craze them abso-
lutely bare. This must be done at
once. too. for the reason that with the

turned in after the first frost thou
sands and perhaps a greater portion OF
the weevils will have escaped beyond
the reach of the Texas steer.
AS soon as the cotton has all been
grazed off the fields should be plowed
under as deeply as possible: The rea-
son for this is that many squares now
on the ground contain young weeyil
larvae. These squares will lie there
| and enable the larvae to become full
grown and develop adult weeyils in due
course If these escape they will start
the attack on the cotton next spring.
