some crop which will produce winter and spring feed it has been thought wise to offer the ranchers and farmers. an opportunity to dotermiLe for them selves what this plant will do in their immediate vicinity. We now have req son to believe from Mir Hildreths eX- perlments and our own that the plant will be a valuable ore for the vicinity of Stafford, but 1t Is well known that the conditions in the territory are very diverse. and it will be necessary to test the matter in many localities before any extended recommendation can be made The station can test the matter only to limited extent and is doing so now in eight localities in southern Arizona; but plant of such promise should be further investigated.
 This station is able to Cffer seed of AtripleX semibaccata to all who apply for it. No attempt will be made to fur nlsh any individual with enough seed to make any great quantity of pastur- age On the contrary. We will furnish such quantity as will enable the ranchcr to determine the value of the plant for his particular locality. and if he chooses after a years observation he can collect his own seed About one fourth of a pound, CT enough seed for fourth of an acre, win be distrib- uted to each individual who applies.
 lt iS recommended that the seed be sown during the sum ner rains. It should be covered very lightly with fine tooth harrow, or if preferred 1t can be dropped in hills and pressed into the soft earth by pressure of the foot In any case care should be exercised not to cover it too deeply
 All person. receiving seed should Keep careful note of the time and meth cd of planting. together with the condi- ton Of the soil and tie habits of growth of the plant; and submit the 'ame to this station when called for Applications. for seed should reach this office by the twentieth of June. It will be distributed as soon as practic- able after this date.

First Census Taken.

The first census of the United States
showed the population of the 10 states
then existing and of the unorganized
territory. to be. in the aggregate, g.
9o9.2l4. The total area of settlement
at that time was $50. 935 square miles,
as against 1,9i72s0 100 years later.
The population was distributed al
most entirely on the Atlantic seaboard,
extending from the eastern boundary
line of Name nearly to Florida. and il
the region known as the Atlantic pain.
Only very small portion of the inhab-
itants of the United States, not. in
deed more than per cent, were found
west Of the system of the Appalachian
mountains. The densest settlement
was in eastern Massachusetts, Rhode
Island. Connecticut and about New
York City.
From the first United States census
to the 18th, a period of 100 years.
the population Of the United
States grew from 3.929,214 to g..
G22,25O, while the century witnessed
such an immense spread of settlement
that the original 239, 935 square mil Us
of the Union increased to l.947 $50. and
an average in density of 32.l to the

A little black-and.tan terrier dog,
named Beau. and his owner were at
Penmaenmawr. They were one day
on the sands, and were overtaken by
the tide, which cut them off from the
shore by belt of water. A bathing
machine came up and took off the
dogs owner. Beau refused to enter
the machine. of which he seemed to
be suspicious. The owner gives the
following account of what happened:
When | found myself on the beach
| looked for my dog thinking that he
would probably come swimming after
the machine. But no; the little idiot
was still on the island yelping and
barking in great distress, and called
to him for long time, bidding him
swim across. as knew that he could
use his limbs almost as we'll in water
as on land. But the naughty animal
would not come. and meanwhile the
sea was gaining on the sand and Beau
had scarcely space to stand and whine

ed to shore alone. BY this time the
sea had risen around my little terrier,
and he was himself like a tiny black
and-tan island. Now what did the
brave dog do? For second time he
dashed through the water, and stood
beside the shivering. yelping creature:
then he went behind Beau and very
gently but firmly pushed him through
the water toward the place where |
was standing. AS soon as they were
both fairly in the deep sea, and it
with Master Beau. the wise, brave
dog let him go, and with a few vigor.
Gus strokes brought himself to shore.

IF boy has no inclination to be-
come a sailor | should certainly not
encourage him to become one" says
Admiral Dewey. And even if he has
the desire | should make sure that it
was not a temporary craze for adven-
ture. Many boys who ship aboard a
vessel when then are 10 or 10 are very
sorry for it few years later. To be
really successful in the navy a man
must have his heart in the work. and o
young man who dislikes the sea can
never distinguish himself in the SER
vice. My SON is not in the navy. The
reason is that he seemed to have no
inclination that way, and ! refused to
spoil a good business man in him by
making him poor sailor. Success.
