The diversity of Miss Mary e. Will
kins' literary gifts is to be further ex-
emplified in a book of short stories en-
titled ''Understudies.' Since the earlier
tales of New England life which were
sufficient in themselves to make an
enviable reputation for any author, we
have learned to know Miss Wilkins as
a story teller and a novelist in other
fields n in other ways, and 1t has
been interesting to follow her develop
ment as an artist. Only once did she
deviate from the line Of progress, and
that was when she was tempted to en-
ter into competition with thu pseudo
historical romance-and fell. Blu in
The Portion of Labor" now appearing
in Harper's Magazine, she has not only
recovered herself, but, in VI Judgment,
has climbed to a higher level of artistic
attainment. Her new volume of I'm
derstudies" also shows that in the short
story her hand has not lost it's cum
ming. Not only are these "Understud-
les" very delightful as love stories, but
the conception of the idea which char
acterizcs them is an original and at
tractlve one, and, to the reader who
cares to probe beyond the mere story,
1t will also be found to be interesting
from a psychological standpoint-Harp-
er's Weekly.

for years with n very bad case of Heart
Trouble, and vas cured in a few weeks.
by Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Since. then Mrs. Dyer has received
hundreds of inquiries as to her condi-
ton, and many may be interested to
learn that she is ct present enjoying the
best of health, and has not had the.
slightest return of the Heart Trouble.
Formerly she hal to sit up in bed for
hours tc get relief; now she goes about
as smartly as any lady of 81 years in

made many friends in Chippewa county
through their cure of Mrs. Dyer's case,
and have proven beyond doubt that.
their cures are not only very complete,
but absolute and permanent.

In an agricultural paper that is pub
lished in Michigan we notice a COM
munication by c. R. Crosby relative to
peach yellows. He advances the theory
that peach yellows exist on trees that
are budded or grated and that it
comes as a result of the weakness en-
gendered by that process. In part he
says:
The first noticeable fact is that it
Is a disease that is of comparatively
recent date, at least forty years ago
l had never heard of the thing. At
that time grating and budding was
just beginning to be practiced, and
was, so to speak, in it's experimental
stage. Now no fruit tree of any sort
Is offered that IS not either grated
or budded, or is supposed tt be. Now
it must be conceded that in budding no
new life is produced, but the old life
Is simply extended, hence the age Of
a growth from a bud must be reekoned,
not from the age Of the stock into
The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1901-12-19

which the bud is set, but from the pit
which produced the tree from which
the first bud was taken. If in the
process of budding, buds have been cut
from trees previously budded, there is
to be added the weakening process
which always accompanies budding.
We have then in the yellows a disease
of old age. If this is true, the remedy
is in starting a new life from the pit.
A further advantage might be gained
to the grower of fruit by raising
trees direct from pits planted where
the tree is to remain, and thus save
the shock of transplanting.
CAS- suggestive of the above theory
I refer to the potato rot in the forties.
Botanists warned the agriculturists
that the calamity was coming, as they
were making a mistake in not starting
a new life from the seed on the top
of the vine, telling them they were
only prolonging the old life, and it
must o die of old age by planting
the tuber year after year. Nature also
gave the hint by providing an immense
crop of potato balls. I can well re-
member seeing the ground covered
with them. The warning was unheed-
ed, and the calamity came, as some
now living remember" y
Now the above theories are founded
on the idea that the seed has a certain
amount of life to give its plant, and
that when that is exhausted the plant
must per force die. 1t is a theory that
seems quite popular, but n that has
never been proven. Nor do we believe
it can be proven. 1t is altogether like
ly that the amount of life force in
any plant, ven budded or grated
plant, is controlled and produced by
the elements and principles that are
found in that plant; hence, it follows
that future gratis may have more en-
crgy than the original parent; which
is frequently the case. Varieties do
not of necessity run out. Change is
constant in any and all varieties. That
change must be sometimes toward the
better, sometimes toward the worse.
1t progresses not in a straight line, but
in a parabola. Some CT it's curves are
up and some down. Varieties are gen
orally discarded because they are
eclipsed, for a time at least, BY some
other variety.
Doubtless some of the so-called run
out" varieties of potatoes would prove
full of energy if properly cultivated,
but most of them would be useless in
the market, as varieties of better quail
ity and habits of growth have been
produced. There is no proof that the
initial energy has been lost.

~FumigatiOn Pays.

The Los Angeles Herald of Septem-
Der LIST says: Last year there were
only about 500 tents in the country,
and much loss was occasioned by the
inability of the o~rchardists to have
their trees fumigated. Oranges that had
been funigated last year sold from
$1.25 to $1.50 per box, while those
which had not been fumigated brought
only $1.10 and $1.15 per box. The ex-
pense of washing the fruit is greater
than that of fumigating the trees. 1t
is estimated that there will be about
1000 tents in use this year. With
these the contractors will be able tC
fumigate about t~wo-thirds of the trees
in the county. When all the tents are
in operation between $4,000 and $4,000
trees will be fumigated nightly, and
the process will be continued from now
until February. A. r. Lowry will
have about 300 tents in operation and
DR.. Dunn about 200. To maintain
trees properly it is necessary to fumi.
gate them nee in two years. In
some places it is necessary to fumi-
gate them every year, and sometimes
oftener.

How Much Seed wheat to the Acre

How Much Seed Wheat to the Acre?
In the fall of 1877 an experiment was
begun on the farm of the Ohio State
University in seeding wheat at differ
ent rates per acre. The experiment
vas made on rich bottom land, and,
although a yield Of "a bushels of wheat
was harvested from five pecks of seed
the yield for seven pecks was 81 bush
els. The next year the experiment
was repeated with great care, five du-
plicate plots of one-sixth acre each
being sown with each quantity of seed,
with the result again that the seven
peck rate of seeding gave enough more
wheat than any smaller quantity to
abundantly compensate the extra cost
of seed.
In 1882 this question was taken up
by the Ohio Experiment Station, then
located on the same farm, and was
repeated nearly every year until the
station was removed to its present To-
cation. The final summing up of these
experiments, made in 1891, indicated
a maximum average yield on that soil
for quantities of seed ranging from
five to seven pecks.
In 1892 the station was removed to
its present location, the soil of which
is naturally far less productive than
that upon which it was first located.
and after q few years the investigation
of this problem was again undertaken,
with the result that the most profitable
harvests have been reaped from eight
pecks Of seed and upward, the nine
and ten peck rates having given the
best returns in unfavorable seasons

The statistician of the Department

a trip to Europe undertaken for the
purpose of arranging with the Euro.
pean governments for an Interchange
of crop reports with the United States
The negotiations were successful, and
it is expected that the plan will be in
operation next autumn. The step is g
very important one. Heretofore this
country has had to depend upon pri.
vate sources for information of foreign
crops, which was always incomplete
and sometimes inaccurate. The value
of such reports to the American farm
err is considerable, since the prices OF
American farm products are largely in.
duenced by foreign crops.

toes. When unable to stand longer
she covered her mouth and nose with
one hand and went under for as long
as she could hold her breath. Her oc-

A writer in Forest and Stream says
the food is received into the first
stomach, passes into the second and
finally into the fourth, where it is
digested. The simple facts are these:
The food is hastily swallowed and goes
into the rumen, or large sac, which
has a capacity of several bushels.
connected with the rumen or large
sac, is the reticulum commonly called
the honeycomb, on account of its cell
ullar lining, and this is a mere adj
Junct OF the rumen and appears to
serve the purpose mostly of a reser-
vo1r OF water, by which the food Is
mo1stened and reduced to a fine pulp
Detween the leaves of the next COM
partment, called the omasum or many
plIes; so-called because Of the numer-
GUS leaves with which it is furnished
and between which the food is ground
into a soft semi-fuid pulp. From this
the food pas into the abomasum, or
true digestion stomach, in which it is
partly dissolved by the gastric fluid
here secreted.
Now let us go back to the food has
tily swallowed by a Illuminating ami
ma. Right at the junction of the
three first divisions is a curious bit
OF machinery called the esophageal
groove This is a small sac or tube
a few inches in length, which connects
the first and second divisions of the
stomach with the third. This groove
has a slit in it through which the
hastily eaten food-moistened by the
water in the recticulum-is forced by
a contraction of the stomach, easily
visible when the cow is Eliminating,
into this small canal, and by a process
OF reorganization is carried to the
mouth. This small quantity of food
is the cud. 1t is simply a wad CT food
forced, as described, into the mouth,
where it is chewed in leisure and with
evident comfort and pleasure, by the
healthy animal. Being reduced to a
semi-1uid condition it is swallowed
and goes to the omasum or manyplies
on account of it's numerous leaves be-
tween which it is macerated into a
fluid which then goes into the fourth
part of the stomach, where it is mixed
with the gastric fluid, the solvent Of
the food, and then becomes nutriment,
completely, when acted on by the bile
in the duodenum.
