The young cacao seeds presented to
S. NJ. Damon and also to the Agricul-
tural Department by Theodore Wores,
who brought up from Samoa pods
from the best trees for trial in Hawaii,
are not doing as well as in their native
habitat. The seeds, some hundred or
so at Moanalua, have all sprouted, but
a beetle has already started it's deadly
work, and it is doubtful if some of the
plants will arrive at maturity while all
will be unquestionably thwarted and
dwarfed. In Samoa there are no in

That cocoa can grow in these islands
is demonstrated by several trees that
are now growing and yielding fruit of
a somewhat Indifferent quality, the
| trees being entirely INTENDED; in the
! old Bishops garden near Ahumanu.
Trees also grow on other islands of the
group, but the pods are never as large
| as those in Samoa, whether from lack
of selection, climate or lack of care, is
not determined.
Samoan cocoa fetches the highest
price in the market. Mr.. Wores, who
is financially interested in Samoan
plantations and has looked into the
industry carefully, is of opinion that
the short canyons on the other side of
Oahu where there is a heavy rainfall
and the atmosphere is hot and steamy
like that of Samoa, should prove adapt
able for the cultivation of the plant.

Several stories are told Of Tenny-
sons thoughtless speeches. What fish
is this?" he once asked his hostess
where he was dining. whiting" she
replied. THE meanest fish there is,"
he remarked, quite unconscious that he
could have wounded any ones feelings.
Yet his kindness of heart was such
that when his partridge was afterward
given him almost raw he ate steadily
through it for fear his hostess might
be vexed.
On one occasion Tennyson was very
rude to Mrs. Brotherton, neighbor
at Freshwater. The next day he came
to her house with a great cabbage
under each arm.

them," he said genially. 1t was his

FIELD BEANS.
A Paying Crop and the Latest Meth
nda nf Grnrinu Ii Enr Market

A Paying Crop and the Latest Meth
DDS of Growing 1t For Market.
In parts of Michigan and New York
the bean crop is a paying one. The
prices this year are unusually high,
and this is stimulating a slightly in
creased acreage. In some places seed is
being planted in rows eight inches
apart and no cultivation given. Last
year this method was promising.
The beans should never be planted
until all danger from frost is past.
Those planted when the ground is thor
oughly warmed and when frosts have
left for good get ahead of the ones
planted too early. AS a rule choice
dwarf varieties are best, as they stand
up better, are more easily and cheaply
cared for.
If the soil is to be fertilized, be sure
that the manure is thoroughly rotted.
Cultivate as soon after a rain as posi-
BILE to break up the crust, which will
form on every field, but carefully avoid
going into a patch of beans when 1t is
wet, as the leaves are apt to be serious
ly injured. Shallow and frequent cul
ture is desirable. They should have at
least four civilizations and more IL the
season turns out to be a dry one. Fol-
lowing is a brief paragraph written by
n successful grower in Michigan to the
Orange Judd Farmer, which is author
ity for tine foregoing:
Farmers always use their best land
for beans, plowing ground early and
narrowing well until June. When the
ground Is thoroughly warmed, which
may not be until the middle Of the
month or even the Goth, plant In drills
thirty inches apart Cultivate twice,
which viii usually carry the crop
through. The harvesting Is done with
the common bean puller.
Last year some few tried a new plan
They pIOwed the ground early and cul-
tivated well until the time Of planting
The seed was then sOwn IL rows six
inches apart. OF course It was not pos
slbIe to cultivate at all, but the ground
was rolled directly after seeding The
beans were cut with q moving ma
chine and raked up with an ordinary
hay rake As result the crop yielded
twenty-five bushels per acre. which
was double that secured from the Ordl-
nary methods of culture II must be

Man. wonderful stomach.

The human stomach possesses most
wonderful powers of adaptation to cir
cumstances. When Lieutenant Bligh
and his eighteen men were cast or
from the Bounty by the mutineers I'm

one days on daily allowance Of one
twenty-fifth of a pound OF biscuit per
man and quarter of pint Of water.

days, subsisting, 1t is said, on water
alone, and Succi and other fasting men
have since excelled this.

be quoted as fearful examples OF vo-

for contracting the entrance when
needed. We then slip the small end of

This makes a platform on which to
dump the cluster of bees when they

The wild strawberry.

The wild strawberry is very widely
diffused over the surface of the earth,
being found in the chill regions of the
north as well as in the sunny climes
of the south. 1t is not tropical plant,
however, and except on mountain sides
is not found south Of latitude 3S de-
grees north. On the European conti-
nent it grows extensively from Lap
land and the Shetland isles to Italy and
Greece. 1t is also found throughout
western Asia, but is unknown in China
and Japan. 1t has grown abundantly
on the bleak hills of Iceland for CEN
turies. 1t is found in America from
Labrador and British Columbia to the
pine woods of the southern states and
on the high lands of Mexico and the
Andes. The hardy plant, with its tiny
scarlet berry, may be said to girdle the
earth on the line of the polar circle and
several hundred miles southwark, ex-
cept that it is not found in the basin Of
the river Amur, in Siberia.

A Kentucky GUNNER Outfit.

Many years ago Senator Blackburn
of Kentucky was summoned to Wash
ington in the middle OF June TO look
after a small matter Of patronage.
His departure was so sudden and the
prospect Of his staying more than a
day or two away from home so remote
that he carried with him only a hand
bag. But business heaped up on him
1ster his arrival at the capital, and he
Fas obliged to telegraph back a re-
quest for a trunkful Of summer cloth
ing. His little daughter happened to
be the only member Of the family at
home when his dispatch arrived, and,
thinking 1t her duty to respond
promptly, she packed trunk and ship
ped IT, first slipping note inside, as
follows:

The trunk contained seven white
shirts. six winter scarfs. one tooth

TOP Dressing HayaeIds.

After the hay crop has been gathered
comes the best season of the year on
many farms for drawing out manure
and spreading 1t ON the hayfields for
top dressing After securing the hay
crop there is less pressure of work than
at many other seasons, and the ground
is hard and is not injured by the wagon
wheels. Then, too, the manure will be
applied in season to be soaked into the
soil by the fall rains later. This will
start up the grass to give the roots n
protecting coat for winter. Where the
soil is sandy or gravelly fertiliZing
would not be profitable, as some of the
fertilizer would leach down below the
reach of the roots and so be lost. Nei-
ther is such top dressing practicable on
slopes that wash badly, but almost ev-
cry farm nas some field land that may
be profitably top dressed during the
month of August, says a New England

Altar of Roses.

In trade the rose is very valuable, as
the affairs of India and Persia sell at
a very high price, and there are large
districts of rose gardens In which men
and women are employed, the harvest
months being March and April In
Turkey also rose farming is largely
carried on, and a very fine altar is got
from the rose grown In Kashmir.
Even rosewater is a luxury which Is
by no means to be despised as to price.
but the altar of roses is immensely
costly, and it takes an enormous num-
Der Of flowers to distil even a few
drops.
The altar Is said to have been first
discovered by the fayorite wife Of
Jehan Jeer, through whose garden ran
a canal Of rosewater, ON the surface Of
which the be.-m found a few drops
Of the precious -ttar or oil floating.

INDIAN AND BUFFALO.
How the Latter Turned Hunter and
Chased the Red Man.

How the Latter Turned Hunter and
Chased the Red Man.
A retired officer of the Northwest
mounted police who took part in Mis-
souri, buffalo run forty years ago de-
seribes the impression ut the time as
OF an earthquake. The galloping
horses. the rocking mass of fleeing buf-
falo, the rumbling and quaking OF the
ground under the thunderous pound
ing. were all like a violent earthquake.
The same gentleman tells how he once
saw a wounded buffalo turn on an In
dian hunter The mans horse took
fright. Instead of darting sideways to
give him a chance to send last finish
ing shot home the horse became wildly
unmanageable and fed. The buffalo
pursued. OF they rushed. rider and
buffalo. the Indian craning over his
horses neck, the horse blown and
tagged and unable to gain one pace
ahead of the buffalo. the great angry
beast covered with foam, with eyes
like fire, pounding and pounding. closer
and closer to the horse till rider and
buffalo disappeared over the horizon.
'To this day I have wondered what
became of that Indian" said the Off
Ger, ''for the horse was losing and the
buffalo gaining when they went behind
lhe bluff" This incident illustrates a
srait seldom found in wild animals, a
persistent vindictiveness.-A. A. G. Laut
