China Methods.

Nowhere else are the principles OF
sound banking better known and un-
derstood or so universally practiced.
while the word of 4 Chinese merchant
IS accepted the world around. lie
Chinese were the first to coin money
and they have long since solved the
problem Of bank note issues. Business
conditions are stable and values set
tied. Their internal commerce is high
ly developed and all products that can
stand their slow methods Of transpor-
tation are we'll distributed.
Yet this, the greatest country In the
world. is without any Of the modern
means Of transportation and exchange.
Its immense traffic is still handled in
the most primitive manner-strlngs OF
camels that reach from the city gate
to the horizon carry the tons of coal
for the peoples fuel. Pack mules
from western provinces laden with
dried fruits, silks and rugs. return with
salt fish and sea weeds. Heavy carts
groan beneath casks of fragrant wines.
Towboats are dragged along the canals
and rivers by dozen Of straining men.
The travelling merchant may make
his trip by cart. boat or sedan chair,

Eufs of the Navajo Indians

The Navajo Indians in Arizona live
in rude, earth-covered huts scattered
widely throughout the reservation and
never grouped into villages. Rude as
the huts appear, however, they are al
ways built strictly according to rule
and the building is followed by an
elaborate religious ceremony by which
the house is dedicated. Each timber
in it must be laid in a certain way and
in q prescribed order, and finally a
doorway is added not unlike the dor
mer windows Of our houses. This is
the home proper, but all over the reser-
vation there are hundreds Of little
structures which are miniature models,
as it were, Of the houses, except that
they lack the projecting doorway.
These miniature huts, scarcely as high
as a mans hip, look like children's
playhouses, but they occupy an impor-
tant place in the Navajo system, for
they are the sweat houses or bath
houses and are the main reliance Of
those people against sorcery and dis
ease. Each of these structures is de-
signed to hold but one person at a
time, and he must crawl in and squat
upon his heels, with his knees drawn
I'M to his chin.-New York Post.

Money in Ginseng.

Few crops offer as promising ~
turns as does ginseng when properly
cared for, and where the climatic con-
ditions are favorable. In my expert
ence have found it more satisfactory
to make the beds in the open field
giving artificial shade-than in the
forest or under trees Of any kind.
Whether the plants are raised from
seed or from roots the beds must be
we'll prepared. I am in favor of plant
ing the seed three inches apart in
rows in which the plants are to re-
main until the roots are ready to be
dug for market. PLANTS raised in this
manner and properly cared for will
mature fair quantity of seed the Sec
ond year and good crop the third
year.
Planted in this manner the roots
will be much larger at two years
growth than when the seeds have
been planted closer. Then in trans
planting the roots nearly one years
growth is lost. and the small stuuted
roots that result from too close plant
ing are far more apt to be destroyed
by grubs and worms infesting the
ground than larger and fully deyel-
oped roots. On sowing the seed it
should be borne in mind that not
every seed will mature plant. In
the fall, after the first years growth,
the vacant spots can easily be filed
with roots standing closer than de-
sired, or these may be transplanted to
new beds. e. D. Crosby, in New
England Homestead.

Poultry Notes.

Never allow the mother hen to take
her brood out in the early morning.
Brooder chicks should be allowed to
90 out during the warm portion OF the
day.
Hens will lay more eggs when con-
fined in yards than when having free
range.
Do not let the little chicks get
chilled or wet. Either means death
for them.
Do not cross pure bred poultry.
There is enough variety now for all
practical purposes.
One breed is enough to keep on
any farm. More than that usually re-
suits in neglect of all.
The time to cure a sick hen is
wasted. If she fingers longer than
two days it is better to kill her.
Do not put over eleven eggs under
a setting hen in the early part of the
season. Later thirteen will not be
too many.
If there are any rats around the
poultry house get rid of them before
the chickens hatch. Otherwise they
will soon make way with every brood
that is put out.

Ground Food for Poultry.

Every once in q while We see in
some of the papers articles attacking
the feeding of soft food to poultry.
Yet soft feed, like most other kinds of
feed, is of great value when properly
fed. It may indeed be detriment to
the fowls if improperly fed. 1t may
easily be conceived that making soft
feeds constant ration would throw
out of order the entire digestive sys-
TENS of the fowls. 1t would probably
have this effect if fed to fowls that had
a very large ration of green stuff, es-
pecially in the summer time; as in
that case it would be substituted for
the grain ration instead of being used
to balance the grain ration.
The real value of ground feed is in
feeding it to take the place of part of
the grain and so render the work of
the grinding organs of the fowls less
severe. The fowl that has nothing but
grain from the time the ground freezes
in the fall till the time the grass starts
in the spring is the fowl that develops
symptoms of ruined digestive system
at the time the most eggs are expected
in the spring.
A warm feed of ground grain once a
day has wonderful effect in prevent
ing those disorders that are so fire.
uuent with fowls confined and heavily
fed on grain feed. The reason that it
is not more universally adopted is the
disinclination of farmers to take the
trouble to scald this feed over night
Or even in the morning. It is so easy
to toss measure of corn to the fowls
that many of them get no other food.

GENERALS SLAIN IN BATTLE.
Contingencies Which Must Ee Expecte
in Every Army.

Contingencies Which Must Ee Expected
in Every Army.
ssMany persons seem to consider the
killing of q general officer like Law
ton as unusual, while the very oppo-
site is the case," said General Miles
to the Washington correspondent of
the New York Post. ''This impress
sion is probably due to the small NOR
tality among officers in the Spanish
war, but it must be remembered that
there were few real battles in that war.
Several generals have already been
killed in the South African war, and
in our civil. war about 200 general off,
GERS were killed on the Union side.
Phil. Kearny fell at Chantilly, Baker
at Balls Bluff, and Stevens at South
Mountain. Reno, great commander,
was killed at Antietam. At Gettys-
burg we lost Reynolds and Zook. Sill
fell at Stone River, Tenn, Mcpherson
at Atlanta, Smyth near Appomattox
just before the surrender, and Wads-
worth in the Wilderness fighting.
Sedgwick was picked off by sharp
shooter while sitting in front Of his
tent at Cold Harbor, and Lyon was
killed at Wilson's Greek in Missouri,
one of the first deaths of commanders
in the war.
Among the Confederates, the losses
were greater in rank, because they
had tull generals and Is lieutenant
generals, while we had no officer of
such high rank in the field until Grant
was commissioned lieutenant-general
in 1864. The Coufederates lost Is
general officers in the Nashville fight
ing. Lieutenant General Polk, a bishop
in the Protestant Episcopal church,
was killed at Atlanta; General Albert
Sidney Johnson fell at Shilo, where
Grant had a narrow escape from being
shot. Stonewall Jackson was killed
at Charlottesville by his own men by
mistake. Zollicoffer was another Con-
federate general who was killed, and
there were many more. The death OF
a general in command is contingency
for which an army must always be
prepared.

Electricity and Soda.

Consul Boyle of Liverpool reports
important discoveries and uses OF
chemical engineering in England. He
refers to the electrolytic process for
decomposing common salt, with the re-
suit of producing soda and chloride OF
lime at very cheap rates.
The same method is being applied to
the manufacture Of other chemicals.
Electricity, having become compare
lively cheap, is now used to effect de-
composition with which chemists have
long had theoretical acquaintance,
but which till recently remained lab
oratory curiosities.

COCOA PALMS MANY USES.

From 1t Filipinos Get Food, Drink, Shell
ter, Ropes, Eroolns and Soap.
There are several species OF cocoa
palms growing in the Philippine
archipelago but the ordinary cocoa
nut tree (Cocos nucifera) is the most
important. The Indians make use OF
it in q good many ways, but only the
principal ones.need be enumerated.
The kernel of the nut they use for
food, while the liquid the shell con-
tains makes refreshing drink. II
allowed to stand for some: time this
LIQUID forms very agreeable milky
iu1ce, that is relished not only by the
natives, but by Europeans as we'll.
After this juice has coagulated it is
miyed with sugar and made into bon
bons, known rs cocoa sugar, and also
into various other delicacies.
According to report of the United
States department of agriculture, by
tapping the central bud that crowns
the cocoanut kind of wine called
tuba, of an agreeably pungent taste, is
produced. This tuba, when allowed
to ferment, produces vinegar, and
when distilled kind of brandy, that
is highly relished by the natives.
From the husk of the cocoanut the
Tagals make rope and cords and a
material for calking their boats.
From the woody shells they carve
spoons, cups, beads for rosaries and
many other articles.
The leaves they use to cover the
roofs of their houses. Roofs made in
this manner are thick and tight, but
they have the disadvantage of burn
ing readily, so that in the towns and
villages where the houses are thus
covered confagrations spread with
great rapidity.
The veins and smaller ribs Of the
leaves are used to make brooms, the
midribs serve as fuel and the ashes
are utilized in making soap.
The trunk of the palm is made to
serve as a pillar to support the houses
that it's leaves overshadow. Oil bar
rels, tuba casks and water pipes are
fashioned from hollow sections of the
trunk.
From the roots the natives ex-
tract red dying material, that they
chew in place of the areca palm nuts
or bonga when the latter cannot be
procured.
Large quantities of cocoanut oil are
manufactured in the Philippines.
This oil is much priced by the natives.
The men and women both use it to
anoint the thick growth of hair that
adorns their heads, and it thus finds a
ready sale at remunerative prices. 1t
is also used in the lamps that take
the place of gas burners in the streets
and in those used by the natives and
Chinese in their houses.
Manila exports annually about l51
900 pesos (sl25, 000) worth of cocoa
nuts to China and British India, and
about S25, 1000 worth of cocoanut oil
to China

Mineral Constituents OF Plants.

4 correspondent wishes an explain
ation of how mineral substances get
into plants, that is, as he expresses it,
minerals that are insoluble except in
acid" Insoluble mineral matter can
not get into the plant. But the min.
eral elements OF a plant are carried
into it in solution. II it is mineral
that water can dissolve, wholly or par
TALLY, the PARTICLES that are held in
solution are carried by the charged
water through the roots into the tree.
If salt is added to water in un ung glazed
earthen dish, like flower pot, with
the hole in the bottom stopped up, it
will be found in time that there is
deposit on the outsd of the pot, and,
if tasted, it will be found to be salty.
The moisture has gone through the
sides of the pot and carried the salt,
with which the water is charged, with
it. This is what water does with SOL
uble minerals when it enters the roots
of plant. There is, too, at the end
of roots an acid that aids the water in
dissolving minerals. 1t is not trne,
however, that the water takes into the
plant all the minerals which it holds
in solution. In the economy of ma
ture, the roots, in natural condition,
permit the entrance into the plant of
only such minerals as the plant needs.
There is an important lesson in this
connection, for the tiller of the soil to
learn. We all know that moisture is
necessary for the growth of plants,
but if it is necessary for dissolving
mineral plant food in the soil, it will
be seen that too much or too little
moisture in the soil must be injurious
to the plant because in the one case
the solution Will be too weak and in
the other it will be too strong, or fail
to take up as much mineral as the
plant needs. TO illustrate: If We
place Just little salt in glass Of
water, the water will have but a slight
ly saltish taste. If plant was IN
need of salt that weak solution would
not supply it with what it required.
Now if we keep adding salt to that
water there will ultimately be a de-
post OF salt at the bottom of the glass.
There will not be enough water to
hold all the salt that We have added.
We have too much salt for the water.
The tiller of the soil, therefore, can
see that if his soil contains too much
water at any time, the sooner he
drains it, the sooner he will feed the
crops as they should be fed; and if he
is irrigating he will have no trouble in
perceiving that too much water will
have the effect that we have men
toned. The necessity of frequent
cultivation and of keeping soil mulch
upon the surface in times of droutn
will also be apparent. The use of
water is not its entire function in rela-
ton to plant growth, but it is an i'm
portant one. Agricultural Epitomist.

Care of The Auple Orchard.

Keep the ground stirred about the
trees by using the garden rake after
rains heavy enough to pack the ground.
This will conserve the moisture and is
better than any mulch that can be
applied, and the trees will take deeper
root. If weeds or trash of any kind
have accumulated about the trees,
clear away or cover up in the fall with
soil, making little mound to prevent
q harbor for mice. Remove it in the
spring.
There are several reasons why the
Young orchard should be planted to
corn. The cultivation of corn is the
proper cultivation for the orchard.
The corn helps shelter the trees from
the wind. The stalks help lodge and
retain the snow, making winter pro-
lection, and if the corn is poorly
husked there will be plenty of food for
the rabbits. Crop to corn until the
orchard is fruiting well, then seed to
clover.
Spray with kerosene emulsion just
before the buds open, or apply white
wash with brush to the body. A So
luton made thin and strained can be
applied with q spray pump to the
tops. This will destroy many of the
enemies of fruit and fruit trees that
find breeding place and winter har-
Dor on the trees.
Bruises from any cause that deadens
the bark make an ideal spot for the
propagation of the borer. In the dead
bark is where the egg is deposited
and by natures law is brought into
life and his work of destruction 10
commenced and done. Carry a roll
of grating wax and roll of old cot
ton and twine to do up any bruise or
break of bark as soon as done, before
the wood or bark becomes dried, and
It will grow fast again, but if left until
the sap in the wood and bark becomes
dried you will have a scar that will
take two or three years to grow over
and if the borer gets a lodgment there
4 may be lasting blemish. It's bst'
