Her ocean bed had been hundreds of
feet deep and the mud covered every
thing to the depth Of a ffoot-in some
places two or three. Neither one Of us
had heard Of the Star or her loss. but
we knew this wreck to be that Of an
lndtaElnan and we went at it to clear.
away the stuff and get into her, We
We're q full week doing this. and at
every turn we came across evidences
to prove the story of the Malay. Three
or four of her guns were yet in place,
and from the way she had been knocked
about by cannon shot it was easy to
figure that she had made hard fight
and suffered great loss of life before
she gave in "
Even before we began work we found
the augur holes bored in her bottom to
scuttle her. The great cabin and every
state room had two feet of mud on the
floor, and I may tell you that we
worked hard for four weeks before we
got the hulk cleaned out. In the mud
and among the mold and rot we found
rusty muskets, pistols, swords, pieces
of jeWelry, cutlery, crockery, glassware
and what not, but in actual money we
found only S sovereigns. A part of
the cargo had been wool, but we got
nothing whatever of value out of it.
Indeed, when our work had been fin.
ished, we simply had big hulk rest
ing on land a mile from the beach and
were only five gold pieces better off
than before. The pirates had swept
her clean of treasure, plundering the
passengers before numbering them,
and we did not find in cabin or state
room SO much as a single bone of hui
man anatomy. We made the ship our
home for six months and were then
taken off by whaler, and our story
was the first news received of the long
lost ship. The English government
sent man-of-war to the island to over
haul the hulk, and mementoes of her
have long been on exhibition in the
British museum. Nothing could be
more queer than the way we found her
or rather the way she was heayed nm
by the sea to be discovered. From
soundings made to the east of the
island in 1867-68 it. was estimated that
the great ship rose from depth of
over 1000 feet. Nothing but an earth
quake could have lifted her from that
depth-nothing but tidal wave held
her up and swept her to- our feet.

Sugar Beet Growing Regfons.


Reports from Ohio indicate that the
sugar beets tested this year have been
higher In sugar content than before:
This really means that the area in
which sugar beets may be successfully
grown has been extended. It starts a
chain of thought as to the possible ex-
tension OF our sugar beet producing
areas. We grow beets on our areas
and where the sugar content of tho
beet comes up to the commercial
standard we say the land is good for
growing beets for sugar making and
the region is inside the sugar-makins
area. Yet by the production or de-
Velopment OF better beet we NAV be-
able to utilize much of the land thar
Is now supposed to lie outside the
charmed boundaries. With the sugar
beet we had twenty years ago none
OF this land would be serviceable for
the production of sugar beets Judged

Ihere is no question but what the crop
can be controlled, in measure, by

There are few complaints of canker

Where the orchards receive proper
care all through the season, there will

Hairy or Sand Vetch.

IN our illustration of hairy or sand
vetch (Vicia villosa) ''a'' is a cross
section OF the stem; 3D. a flower; &c, Z
stamens; d. a pod. The vetches,
Ike the other leguminosae, are nitro
gen gatherers. The plant is a native
OF Western. Asia, and has been Guilt
waited for about fifty years in some
parts of Europe, especially Southern
Russia, Germany and France. It was
introduced into this country about
1847 under, the name of Siberian
vetch, but its cultivation here was
neglected till about twelve years ago.
In an experimental, way it has In re-
cent years been grown in Washington,
Nebraska, Georgia, New Mexico, South
Dakota, Minnesota, Montana, Penn
sylvania and at Washington, D. c..
From all of these localities excellent
reports of it's growth have been re-
ceived. It stands the cold of winter
well and also the drouth Of summer,
but it does not do well where there is
an excess of water in the soil. It is
one of the most promising fodder
plants that has been brought into the
country in recent years, and by some is
considered especially valuable for
light, sandy soils.
Hairy vetch may be sown in autumn,
from about the middle of August to
the middle of September, or in spring
from the latter part of April to the
middle of May. 1t should be sown
broadcast, or with a grain-drill, at the
rate of one to one and half bushels
of seed per acre. The latter method
will require less quantity of seed.
When the seed is put in broadcast a

1t is believed that the lack of src-

been due largely to the ignorance on
the part of planters of the REQUIRE

difficulty the Division of Forestry in
Circular % offered to furnish plans for
such plantations with advice as to the
species best adapted to each claim, in
structions for painting, care, etc.

thus far and one hundred more appli-
