popp;es, 1000 Year. Old.

The extraordinary resuscitating
power of light received very curious
illustration a few years ago in the si.-
yer mines at Laurium. The mines
had been abandoned more than 1000
years ago as unavoidable. and con-
sisted for the most part of "slag
produced by the working OF the
miners An enterprising Briton dis,
covered that the mines contained
plenty of silver which could easily be
removed by the superior modern ap-
pliances He discovered, however,
something more valuable than the sill
ver-viz., some poppies of a species
which had disappeared for twenty cen
turies, the seed of which had lain dor
mant beneath the Stag for 1000 years
When the Stag was removed to the fur
mace the next visit to the mine found
the entire space covered with most
gorgeous show of poppies. After theil
twenty centuries rest they hat
bloomed as vigorously as ever, with
out the aid of single drop of water
or any restorative other than the rays
of the sun.

Heavy Freight Train.

A few weeks ago freight train was
hauled from Sayre to Weldon, which
must have been among the heaviest
freight trains ever handled by one en-
gine in regular service for an entire
freight division. The train was made
up of 1O4 loads and weighed 4,Ol3
tons. 1t left Sayre, eastbound, at 2:5s
D. m. and arrived at Weldon at S:Os
p. m. This regular freight division
run is so 4 miles. The run was made
therefore, at the rate of 1877 miles ar
hour, the engine taking water three

Stork declares the snakes were raised
fully threefourths of their length

in each other that they paid no at
tention to the approach of Mr.. Stork,
who cut a club about eight feet long
from a small pine sapling, and at the
stroke so stunned both snakes that
they were easily dispatched without
further trouble. The snakes were

Statue Of Rameses II.

Among the many colossi with which
Rameses II adorned the different
temples throughout Egypt there is no
more characteristic representation or
this mighty ruler of the desert, &C.
cording to our own ideals formed
from our historic knowledge OF him,
than the mighty colossus of Memphis
which now belongs to the British ma
ton.
Raised from its Nile bed, where 1t
has lain face downward for centuries,
.reposing calmly beneath the waters
Of the sacred river save at the dry
season, when it became visible until
the inundation again buried 1t, 1t now
rests high and dry above all dangers
of high water, on heavy pedestals OF
stonework.
Originally this figure stood On one
side of the great doors of the magn1h
cent temple of Pthah, the ancient god
of universal life or artisan of the
world, which temple Rameses II fur
ther enriched with the colossi. There
is but little evidence remaining Of thii
temple, save great mounds OF decay

a Versatile Tree.

There are by careful computation
about 3OO.O00.000 cocoanut palms IN
the world in full bearing, and certain
ly no tree that grows yields so many
different products or is put to so many
separate uses. It's wood is used for
buildings and for boats, as well as for
ornamental furniture. The leaves are
the sole thatch of tens Of thousands
of buildings and afford useful food for
cattle, The natives also make good
brooms with the ribs of the leaves,
while the ashes contain so much pot
ash as to he useful in soap-making.
From the trunk of the cocoanut
palm oil barrels, tubs and water pipes

Parrot Race Exterminated.

Ornithologists will regret to learn
that Guilding's amazon parrot, rare
bird inhabiting the mountains OF st.
Vincent, has in all probability become
extinct. owing to the recent volcanic
phenomena in the island
The species was said formerly TO
occur only on the Souffriere, hence II
became known as the Souffriere bird.
The great eruption of 171S drove
many specimens to seek shelter in the
other highlands of ST. Vincent, but
their numbers were considerably re-
duced by the fearful hurricane of 1898,
and there is no reason to fear, so am
told by an ornithological friend, that
the few survivors have all perished IN
the eruption of May last.-Scotsman.

Source Of Scions.


One of the leading horticulturists
Of Michigan declares that 1t is mis-
take to take scions from nursery
trees. The scions from such source
have not the ability to bear fruit that
have scions taken from mature ana
bearing trees, so he says. He claims
that this is the cause OF the non
fruitfulness of very many orchards.
He also claims that it is the cause OF
variations in fruit OF the same va
riety. This is a point of considerable
Importance. The contention. II true,
has in it much of weight IN horti-
cultural matters. We do not, how
ever believe that many horticultur-
lists at this time agree with this opin-
ion. 1t is generally believed that
whether q scion come from an imma-
ture tree or q mature tree does not
matter. It would be interesting TO
know what proof is adducible In be-
half of the contention. II the cause
par excellence" of unfruitfulness OF
orchards can be determined to be the
source of scions it will be an easy
| matter to remedy. 1t is fact thai
some trees of the same variety are
more fruitful than other trees. Wha'
Is the cause OF this? In the case o!
a fruitful or unfruitful tree does the
scion taken from that tree carry the
same habit of fruitfulness into it'
new existence? These are questions
that we would like to have deter
mined if possible by our readers.

irrigation at the New Mexico Expert.
ment Station.
In the October 9Th issue OF the
Farmers Review there was an article
on Irrigating by Means OF steam
Pumps. 1t referred to experiments
made at the New Mexico Experiment
station. In some mysterious way the
word Arizona was substituted tor
New Mexico, and the latter station
was thus deprived Of proper credit.
The New Mexico station was prompt
in calling our attention to the matter.
and we hasten to make all amends
possible. The work being done by
the New Mexico station is certain to
bear abundant fruit, especially IN
semi-arid America. That station has
demonstrated that six-inch we'll will
| irrigate a considerable area of terri
tory, when the water is applied a.
mentioned. Moreover it has been
shown that the cost is much lighter
than was supposed 1t further dem
onstrated that ordinary fuel can bo
used such as wood Of various kinds.
There are many localities where fuel
is a positive nuisance. but where ir.
rigation would be very profitable.
Since the publication of the article
October 8, the Farmers Review has
received q further communication
from the station on the subject In
which the writer says: "Since the
press bulletin was issued our work
has beea even more successful, and
we have thrown from the six-inch

over 1000 gallons q minute"

TRUCK Earn,na tn cuba.

Previous to the advent OF the
Americans. trucking for the northern
was unknown In Cuba. ana
In fact. the industry, as practiceo ioE
the local markets, was conducted on
: very small and unenterprising scale
says the Cuban investor and Gu1oe'
~ early as the fall of 1899 the Amer
:an farmer began experimenting IN
several separated localities. none Oh
which were far from Havana. Tnese
exp criments were unsuccessful nnan-
cially but resulted in q great deal OF
valuable practical experience. The
soil is so much at q variance from
that in the States that lessons OF lts
cultivation had to be acquired by even
the most expert farmers. The ground
Is hard, and in some places almost
finty when dry. and thick and heavy
when wet. This. added to the heavy
mat Of grass and the packed cond'-
ton of the soil by reason OF It's long
disuse, made the original breaking
. task of great labor and extreme diff
f1culty. Men planned their work cal
eulating that the expense would be
about the same as it would be for the
same class of work in the States but
before the task was half completed
discovered their error.
Guines, a small town about 80 miles
by rail from Havana, is the center OF
the trucking industry on the island
For some years it had been widely
known for the excellent potatoes and
snions produced in the surrounding
artificially irrigated land. A seasons
crop of potatoes would run up to 25o'
900 barrels and the onion production
would reach about 100000 barrels.
The land in this vicinity is espe
cially adapted for the successful ra's
ing of all tender crops, particularl!
those OF thirsty nature. A rive

Value of Whey.

At MANY cheese factories the whey
is an incumbrance rather than
source of profit. 1t is usually disposed
of at almost no price, yet 1t is OF con-
siderable value for pig feeding. Inc
Wisconsin station has determined that
whey for pig feeding is worth cents
per 100 pounds, and If properly COM
bined with other feeds is worth lo
cents per 100 pounds. The greatest
trouble with whey is that it rather de-
moralizes the handling of the milk
supply. AS soon as a patron empties
his cans he wants to fill them UP with
milk, and this prevents his cans De-
ing washed and steamed at the rae
tory. There are various ways or get
ting rid of this necessity. One methoa
that is practiced at some cheese rae
tories is worthy Of consideration. Pla
pens are built far enough away from
the factory to prevent the odor from
reaching that institution. but near
enough so that the whey can be easily
run to them on tram tracks. All the
whey is fed at the factory in this way,
and the profits from the operation go
into the general fund. In this way the
profits get back to the patrons. There
are several advantages about this plan
of feeding whey. One OF them is tha'
| the whey can be fed in better condition
| than it usually Is fed in when 1t mas
