The parent tree of the navel orange
groves in America is still flourishing
in the lighthouses of the agricultural
department at Washington. Although
thirty years old, it is as vigorous as
ever, and there is not a month in the
year when one cannot pick from it at
least few of the wonderful seedless
oranges for which it is famed. The
little tree, not dozen feet high, is
almost Mecca for Californians in
the capital. 1t is visited daily by scores
or Interested tourists, and more than
one of them has taken off his hat in
deferential honor to the tree that has
done so much in adding to the wealth
of the land of sunshine and flowers.
Although seedless oranges have been
planted in Florida, yet for some unset
tied reason they have not prospered
there. California has never had a real
competitor in producing the delicious
fruit, and there are records of nearly
1000 carloads shipped from the Cali
1ornla groves in single year. Accord
ing to recent investigation, an Amer
lean lady introduced the orange into
this country. She was travelling
through Brazil in 1869 and at Bahia
found seedless orange of delicious
flavor, such as was quite unknown in
the United States. She was friend OF

The rather unique distinction of hav-

during 1900 than any other one person
is claimed by Jacob Hiestand, of Here
ford, Pa, who has made practice for
several years past of furnishing lodg-
ings in large barn on his premises to
all wanderers who cared for such ac-
commodation. By list kept by Mr..
Hiestand, it is shown that in 1900, 1852

August 60, September SO October 81,
November SO, December 60.
Previous records show that in 1899
SCI lodgings were granted, while in
1898 only 1872 weary ones called to
lay their bodies to rest. The highest
number that called during one night
was twelve, which consisted of a
whole family, husband, wife and child

six or eight to call in the evening and
apply for nights lodging. The only
rule enforced by Mr.. Hiestand is that

all are glad to do so, the lucifers being
returned to them on their departure.

Defecfiues

There has been a recent discussion
as to the employment of women as de-
tectives in hotels, in shops and in no.
lice cases. Women have been employed
as private detectives for years by the
various agencies in cases requiring
specially fine work. For procuring
evidence in divorce cases they are oft
en- employed and their aptness has been
proved. The woman detective can
change her identity with her costume
far more easily than a man. If she is
tactful she can win confidence and will
arouse no suspicion. These advantages
MT her peculiarly for the work. Women
have in recent years made records in
the big department stores, where they
detect shoplifters and pickpockets.
These women dress as though on a
shopping tour and are not known to
the saleswomen. They pass about from
counter to counter examining goods,
but manage to keep an eye on people
they suspect and follow them about
until they see them actually taking
goods from the tables. In the customs
service about a dozen women are en-
ployed as customs inspectors. They
look out for women smugglers and have
been very successful in detecting these
fair swindlers of the government. 1t
is not the amateur smugglers or the
immigrant that these women look aft
err, but the women who Of late years
have made profession of smuggling,
acting in collision with men and ap-
parently making the trade pay well.
They are always good looking, we'll
dressed and literally supplied with
money, which they dispense in gener-
GUS tips to the stewardess and boys.
Women take naturally to smuggling;
so the professionals are adopts at the
game. Even the average woman likes
the idea Of getting in lace or jewels or

are in all Of our states counties or
parts of counties far more subject to
drouth than are other counties. 1t
naturally follows that such localities
have an excessive amount of sunshine
and are hence adapted to the develop
ment of the alfalfa plant. Some of
the best farmers in the east have
found the plant adapted to their local.
tiles and have commenced to grow it
for the supplying of the protein needed
in their feeding rations. We have no.
ticed that during the last ten years
there are certain parts of Illinois far
more subject to drouth than are the
other parts of the state. If alfalfa
could be established in such localities
the benefit to the whole state would
be great.
Alfalfa is not, like red clover,
plant that will endure for two or three
years only. It is perennial, and,
once established, can be depended on
to grow for a considerable number
of years, depending on the seasons
and the way it is cut and otherwise
handled. In fact in the dryer portions
of South America there are said to
be fields of alfalfa that have been
growing continuously for the last 200
years. But we are not generally able
to get in this climate fields that will
stand for all time. There are added
elements here antagonistic to such a
state of affairs. Alfalfa being a very
deep rooter may be grown on land
barren to other plants. If there be
partly barren strip Of dry soil with
good water table ten feet below the
surface the long roots of the alfalfa are
often able to sustain it's development
when all ordinary forage plants die
out for lack of moisture.
The best soil for the plant is a sandy
loan underlaid at some depth by moist
gravel. Saturated land of any kind
is not suitable to it even though it is
water. The soil that has hard-pan
down a foot or so is not suitable to
its growth If the hard-pan be i'm
pervious to roots. A limy soil is suit
able to it's growth, and where the land
is deficient in lime that article should
be supplied. The plant, being heavy
feeder, will not thrive on land that is
deficient in plant food. If artificial
manures of any kind are to be used
they should consist principally of pot
ash and PHOSPHORUS. To give the
plant good start, heterogeneous ma
nures are sometimes very serviceable.
