About ten years ago Secretary Brack-
EFT of the Iowa State horticultural So
ciety took up the work of modelling fruit
in wax and coloring it to resemble as
much as possible the natural product.
This work attracted the attention OF
the United States Department OF Agri-
culture, which soon found opportunity
to place him in Washington at the
same work. Since that time he has at
tanned a national reputation, his work
being very true to nature. The wax
fruits of the department have been ON
exhibition at several of the large expo
sitions, and have proven valuable oh
ject lessons. They have the advantage
over real fruits in that they retain
their form and freshness. By this
means all varieties of fruit can be
shown at any time of year. This Is
especially valuable in relation to early
summer apples, and all the softer
fruits which would soon decay II ex-
hibited in a temperature comfortable
for human beings. This is a method of
instruction that will be much used in
the future. The student OF pomology
must have always at hand the pat
terms OF that with which he wishes to
become familiar. 1t is probable that
our state societies will find it proflta-
BILE TO devote each year small sum
to the accumulation OF wax models
Ultimately, the use of these will pass
beyond the bounds of the horticultural
societies and agricultural fairs, and
will come into use in our high schools,
especially those that are centers of
the rural population. Also the stu
dent that can afford them will find a
private collection profitable.

THEFT Of RELICS
By Curio Collectors Not Uncommon.

When thieves decide to break
through and steal they will penetrate
almost anywhere and take anything
which comes to hand. Stealing relics
and curios is a recognized braSsh of
the profession" and it requires a
nice discernment and a thorough
knowledge OF the value of such arti-
cles. A rich Arab living in Cairo re-
Gently delighted his friends with the
exhibition OF a collection OF war relics
and jewels valued at s2,5O0.000. He
said he had bought them in London.
The sultan's spies, however. thought
otherwise That potentate had spent
$500. 600 In the past three years in try
Ing to trace missing portions OF his
splen.id collections. which he keeps
housed in his palaces in CONSTANT
nople. And there was no mistaking
the portion found i'm Cairo. The rich
Arab and his collection mysteriously
disappeared. and no one thinks IL safe
to be too curious about the mans fate.
Some slight sensation was caused re-
Gently by the theft OF relics from the
Vatican, but 1t was nothing to the con
sternation created some years ago by
the stealing of the Popes golden
rose.' This much-prized emblem Is
blessed in mid-Lent by the Pope. after
which it is sent to some Catholic wom-
an whom His Holiness desires to hon
or. On the particular occasion re-
ferred to the rose was nowhere to be
found and duplicate had to be manu-
factured hastily. It turned out that
the original rose had been stolen by
the connlvance of one OF the inferior
palace officials and smuggled out of
the country to adorn the cabinet of a
well-known curio collector. In the

A short time ago the experiment
station at Burlington sent out word
that the potato blight and rot threat
ened TO do serious damage in Vermont
this fall. Later reports from the same
source say that the fears Of trouble
were all realized. and that there has
been in fact a considerable amount OF
loss already to potato growers.
The rot follows the late blight and
comes from the same cause. Those
who have late blight In their fields.
therefore, are bound to have rot; and
in all such cases special care ought to
be taken in sorting and storing the po-
tatoes for winter.
The experiment station still insists
that proper spraying, backed up by
proper cultivation, will protect the po-
tato crop from these diseases. Con-
tinued experiments and practical field
tests covering a period of ten years OF
more have proved this beyond the pos
sibility of doubt. Even now. in the
latter part Of September, when most
potato vines are dead and many fields
OF potatoes already dug, the expert
ment station potato fields are as green
and growing as any time In July or
August; and the potato expert claims
that they are making potatoes now at
the rate OF 25 TO 30 bushels a week for
every acre.
Wouldn't It pay potato growers to
look into that matter?-Vermont Ex-

It IS that converts all the waste prod

the greatest despatch and least loss.
All through the winter the packers

Kind OF shortage I'm this years crop
that occurs when animals that require
a longer time to mature are so'd close.
Yet there is no animal that receives
less attention from the expert investi-
gators who are laboring TO advance
agricultural interests. and many of the
problems connected with hog raising
are no nearer solution than they
were twenty years ago. We know
that hog cholera continues to prevail
I'm certain sections, which we broadly
term the corn belt. but we have not
learned its cause. though various
theories have been advanced. one OF
the most popular attributing IL to
germs present in the soil OF those sec
tions. heterogeneous foods and abupd-
ant exercise are supposed to help by
developing q hardy constitution that
will resist disease, but the hogs Of the
eastern states, born and bred in pens
with never taste OF pasture and fat
tened on western corn, never have
cholera.
In reviewing the work of the expert
ment stations and of the agricultural
department at Washington, as well as
tnat of private Investigators. one is
struck by what appears to be almost
a conspiracy to ignore the hog. The
hen also suffers somewhat from this
unjust discrimination on the part Of
experimenters, but her claims are be-
ing allowed Hhd her fortunes are look
ing up.
Not so with the hog. He is regard
ed as n gross money maker OF low In

tirely unfit him for scientific associa
tions. Even pedigrees do not help him
much with disinterested observers, for

Origin Of Petroleum

Petroleum Is one of the results OF
great catastrophe. Scientists agree that
at some period in the worlds history
there was an upheaval of some kind
which completely changed the charac-
ter of the earth's surface. AS legacy
to the world Death left petroleum.
Geology teaches us that animal and
vegetable life were ruthlessly destroyed
in this great cataclysm. Countless mil
lions of fishes were carried on the crest
of the food. Then the waters subsidized
and the fish were left fioundering in
the mud. They could not release them
selves. They sank deeper and deeper
in the thick deposit which closed over
them and hardened rapidly. The fate
of animal and vegetable life on land
was the same.
The clay gradually hardened into
rock. which inclosed these animals and
vegetable forms and held them firmly
imbedded. In some places this harden
ing process was so rapid that air was
completely excluded from the buried
forms before decomposition set in. The
animals, fishes and plants remained in
their rocky repositories in a state of
perfect preservation for centuries. But
changes in the earth's composition are
constantly taking place. improvements
made by man or natural shifting of
the strata gradually caused conditions
which admitted air to the imprisoned
fossils. Disintegration ensued The
result was petroleum.
1t is probable that this decaying
matter which had been incased In
rocks for millions of years does not
always result in the formation of pc
troleum. The presence of other chem

In grouping shrubs be careful to
place the taller, more rapid growing

and lawn. Occasional handsome shrubs
or we'll cared for flower beds may dot
the lawn, but none should hide the
house or too much obstruct the view

II Is the Result Of One Of
the Great (atastTOpheS Of

ical elements is necessary to this. but
what they are is one of the mysteries
of science All that chemists know is
that petroleum is a mixture of carbon
and hydrogen. But they do not know
the proportion in which these elements
are combined to make 1t. Attempts to
analyze 1t have always failed, and no
means of manufacturing 1t artificially
have ever been devised. Petroleum is
not formed exclusively in any particu-
lar stratum of the earth's crust. On
the western boundary of Wyoming
there is a ledge of rock Of the tertian
period. If you scrape a piece from this
rock you will find that 1t smells
strongly of petroleum. Borings have
been made out there and enough oil IS
being taken to supply the demands OF
Wyoming and Idaho. The tertian age
was the one Immediately preceding the
present period of the worlds life. This
shows that the oil of Wyoming is of
comparatively recent origin.
The oil of Pennsylvania is found In
strata of the devonian period. This
was part of the paleozoolc age, the
earliest of which geologlans have any
record. This shows that the oil in
Pennsylvania was formed millions of
years before that of Wyoming.
