Giant Desert Trees.

That phenomenal tree of the Austral-
ian deserts, the Eucalyptus, which has
been planted for forty years in the dry soil
of our own Southwest, where it is com
monty known as the Blue Gum, or Red
Gum, is the subject of bulletin soon to
be issued by the Bureau of Forestry under
the title "Eucalypts Cultivated in the
United States.
Although the foreign origin, the Eu-
calyptus seems specially fitted to the dry
country of Arizona, New Mexico, South
ern California and Western Texas, where
its value would be hard to overestimate.
Its drought resisting powers enable it to
flourish where no large American tree will
grow. Ityields oil, gum, nectar for honey
bees, furnishes shade for the ranch house,
windbreaks for field crops, and frewood fol
localities where fuel is scarce But its
chief value lies in the possibilities it holds
for the reforestation of the bare, dry noun
tain sides of the desert country and for the
protection of irrigating streams. 1t i:
specially adapted for such purposes by rea-
son of its rapidity of growth in arid soil
No native American species can equa
the extraordinary development of this ex-
otto from remote Australia. On the ranch
of Elwood Cooper, near Santa Barbara
CAL, there are Eucalypts twenty-five years
old, as great in girth as oaks of 800 years
And time and again the species called blu'
gum has, when cut to the ground, sent VI
sprouts from the stump which in eigh
years have reached height of hundred
feet. Nor does this rapidity Of growth
shorten the life of the tree; for the Eu
calyptus, in its Australian home, reaches
a great age and rivals in size the giant red
woods and the big trees of California.

Tropical wrens' Marvellous House.


There is wren in Central America
whose nest is marvel of constructive in
gently 1t selects small tree with hori-
zontal branches growing close together.
Across two of the branches it lays sticks
and fastens them together with fibre until
it has completed platform about 6 feet
in length by 2 feet in width.
On the end of the platform nearest the
tree trunk it builds great dome shaped
nest at least 2 inches in height, the sides
being formed of interviewer thorns. Then
it constructs crooked, tunnel like pas
sageway from the nest to the outer end Of
the platform, and in this tunnel, at inter
walls, it builds little thorn fences, leaving
just room enough for its body to pass
through.
At the outer end of the tunnel it also
builds fence, with little gateway in the
middle, and when it goes out it closes the
gateway with thorns so that its enemies
cannot get in. Thus its protective instinct
directs it how to preserve its eggs and Ia
ter on its young.
There is another bird in Central Ameri-
ca, member of the oriole family, whose
nest is less elaborate than the wren $, but
just as ingenious. 1t selects big banana
leaf, and with its bill for a needle and
some strong grass for thread, it sews the
two edges together, following the grain Of
the leaf, near one of the veins, and it doe
the work SO neatly that the stitches can
not be seen without close examination.
In the pocket thus constructed the birt
builds nest with soft grass or hair, and
there lays her eggs and raises her little
family without fear of discovery.

Useful Hints.

Tough meat may be made tender by
washing it in vinegar and rinsing this Of
before cooking the meat.
To put wide wicks in lamps or oil stoves
thoroughly starch and iron the wick, and
it will slip in easily without interference
with its duty as conductor of oil
Remove grass stains by saturating the
spots with alcohol; allow them to remain
for little while in the alcohol, and then
wash in clear water.
To prevent lamp glasses breaking, as
they will do sometimes if the wick be turned
too high, scratch the base of the glass with
glaziers diamond. This is simple and
efficacious measure.

why Country Editors Get Rich.

The Journalist says :-s'After great
deal of study and worry we have at last
fingered out why so many country edi-
tors get rich. Here is the secret of their
success. A child is born in the neighbor-
hood; the attending physician gets $40,
the editor gives the loud-lung youngster
and the happy parents send-of and
gets so. 1t is chrlstened and the minister
gets SIS and the editor gets 500. Itgrows
up and marries; the editor publishes another
long winded fowery article and tells a
dozen lies. about the beautiful and ac-
complished bride. The minister gets SO
and a piece of cake, and the editor gets
5000. In the course of time it dies, and
the doctor gets from So to 500, the min
lister perhaps gets another So, the under
taker gets from $50 to 500, the editor
publishes notice of the death and an obitu
airy two columns long, lodge and society
resolutions; lot of poetry and free card
of thanks, and gets 10000 No wonder
so many country editors get rich.

A Great Virginia Orchard
From the Richmond Dispatch.


Commissioner of Agriculture Koiner has
received from the Radford Fair some fine
specimens of apples grown on the fruit farm
of Mr.. W. Scott, in Floyd county. They
have been sent to Washington to have
models made from them Speaking of Mr..
Scott orchard, Commissioner Koiner said
cit is the largest in Virginia, containing
80, 600 apple, 81, 900 peach, and 5000
pear trees. The orchard is situated on the
summit Of the Blue Ridge, overlooking
Patrick, Franklin, Henry and other Pied
mont counties. Martinsville, forty miles
distant, can be seen with the naked eye.
The apple trees IN this orchard, when
they begin to bear, will yield 30, 600 bar
rels of apples and it will require 80 box
cars to transport the shipment from the
orchard to distant points.
Commissioner Koiner has great faith in
the development of the ruit-growing in
dustry in Virginia, and considers it one of
the most profitable branches of agriculture
in the State.

The Growing Of walking Canes

Few men who use walking canes are
aware that the growing of walking stalks
is special industry, and that certain kinds
of canes are not merely collected as they
may be found growing in forests. One
may find at any store where the sticks are
sold many canes of almost precisely the
same length, weight, shape and material.
Canes having a tangle of roots at the handle,
for instance, are much sole in England.
They are grown by a "farmer, who makes
it speciality to trim and shape young ash
plants In some instances the canes are
secured by the process of grubbing and
pruning furze and wild shrubbery, and the
men who engage in this occupation are
said to make money out of wild stuff that
goes to waste in many other places. The
furze is not cultivated, though it might be,
to profit, especially on areas that are
good for little else.

GUARANTEED

That every shareholder who pur-
chases stock now will be entitled
to an interest in all wells hereafter
drilled, all new properties that may
hereafter be acquired by the United
States Fuel Oil Company, without
any extra expense and with out
assessments. The question of oil Is
arousing the attention of every person
who has an idle dollar, and the future
holds in store for investors in properly
conducted oil companies fabulous returns
from dividends and big advances to come
from proht-takipg on their holdings.
The United States Fuel OIL proposition
has been thoroughly put before you.
There is no reason that you should ask
more questions about it's future policy; it
has got down to a question of Are you
coming in or not; If so, when; if not
why?' And you are told now for about
the last time that, while opportunities
come and go, your opportunity to get an
interest in the United States Fuel OIL
Company will cease very soon. All stock
from the Company's office will be ad-
vanced to % cents per share about the
time the first well will be in and the
Company offers you the above guarantees
as evidence of it's good faith and gives
you the option between now and then to
make up your mind one way or the other
We expect to do something else besides
sell stock hereafter, and the time to buy
will soon be gone; therefore all those
contemplating a purchase should make
their arrangements for same at once

Oil Is Best He Ever Saw-OId

Becoming Exhausted.

1.-THE Butte Oil company has taken in
it's new thirty-five horsepower boiler and
has begun drilling said Philip w.
Francis, the oil man, who has returned
from the Kintla lake district. THE old
boiler had a capacity Of only 20 horse
power, which was not enough to run the
drill, though it will do for the sawmill.
Another rig has been brought up from
the Beaumont district OF Texas to Black
foot station, and will be taken in over
the snow.
IA great crowd is going into the coun-
try from both East and West, and the
hotel at Bolton is crowded. The new
corners expected to make loca tons, but
found that all the territory had been To-
Gated, so some of them are buying claims.
More people have gone in during the last
month than during the whole summer,
and they still keep going from Duluth,
Pennsylvania, California, Seattle and
other cities. Minnesota syndicate has
sent two agents to buy and they have
purchased considerable territory. The
Helena company, represented by F. Il.
Ray, has also bought some property, and,
l presume, will have a rig there before
the first of the year. Some Butte and
Ca!l1Orna people, am assured, are go
ing to take in a rig and start to drill at
the beginning of the year.
Will Soon Prove the Field.
IT expect that by June l there will be
eight or ten rigs at work by men who
nave the means and determination to ex-
plore the field. That will furnish a good
guide as to it's nature and value. 1t is
mere guesswork how deep the drill will
have to go to get flowing wells. l pre-
sumo it will be 1850 to 1000 feet though
they might strike it at 900 feet.
