PloHving the Water

A curious method Of producing plat
mum is reported to be practiced by the
Inhabitants along the Tura river. in
Tomsk, Siberia. They call it blowing
the water" raft is constructed, and
fastened to it is an inclined gutter Of
boards, which at its lower end is pro-
vided with an iron pillow. While float
ing down the river they scrape or pillow
its bottom. The SAND scraped out falls
into the gutter and passes into a tub
filled with pine boughs, upon which
platinum is deposited. The sand of the
Tura river and it's tributaries is so rich
in platinum that even this primitive
production is profitable to the peasants.

Wicked Waste in Washington.

A short time since re questioned whether there was now In operation
in this country any of the old wasteful logging and burning business incl
dent to the clearing up of timber land. It seems that there Is or a ct
ter from Washington says that hundreds of men have taken homesteads
up in the mountains, where the giant frs and cedars grow, trees ESQ feet
high, from four to six feet in diameter and containing from 5000 to 90
600 feet Of lumber, board measure AT present there is 10 method where
by these giant logs "a be got to market o made available To- lumber,
30 the homesteader bores a two inch hole horizontally to the heart OF the
tree and another at a angle of forty6ve degrees from above to ntersect
It. He then fills the hole with dry grass and sets fire to it. In about four
days the tree will burn off SO that 1t will fall. The same process Is e.
peated to cut the trunk into ten or fifteen foot logs, which are then piled
up and wholly burned. The timber thus destroyed is worth more than
all the crops which will er be raised upon the land, these splendid trees
being worth over 800 each if only there wal some way in which to get
the lumber to a railroad or navigable water. The justification for this
wanton waste of the finest forest product in all the wide world Is found
only in the fact that the homesteader must have a piece Of cleared land
upon which to raise some crop to enable him to live. 1t would be far bet
ter for him and the country could he get his living somewhere else and
leave these forests alone until such time is modern methods ma
chinery could clear the land without such a n awful waste.W e also noted
in a recent trip down south that in east Texas there was in the tmbered
sections much of the old waste in the clearing up Of the land fol crops.
The day will soon be here when a tree a hundred years old will repre-
sent q good deal of money.

A peculiar phenomenon has been
noted during June Of this year in the
remarkable development of white
clover in all blue grass pastures in
Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois-such a
dense growth of the clover, almost to
the entire exclusion of the blue grass,
and a mass of bloom such as we have
never before seen, making the pasture
lands look as though a snow had drift
ed over them, and the air filled with
a delicate fragrance suggestive of a
daintily gowned and trigged lady
whose perfumed presence arrests at
tention, the bloom and It's hidden
sweets making high carnival for the
bees, a harvest feast such as they sell
dom have. 1t is interesting to ask
why this clover should this year make
such a remarkable development. Was
1t the wet May or just n of Mother
Natures periodic freaks? Was the
seed lying dormant awaiting some OPP
perfume time May resurrection time?
Can any one tell? Be the cause what
it may, it was a fragrant, fertilizing,
funny freak.

Hybrids and Natural Law.

The most wonderful things that appeal tt u IS nthe study Of birds and
animal life are the inviolateness and certainty with which nature pre-
serves the different varieties of the same species. Nature very rarely
indeed produces hybrids of any kind. Only under the domesticating care
and manipulation of man are hybids produced. For instance, take the
family of fnches or fly eaters in birds, with a score or more of separate
and distinct varieties some so closely allied to Others that only the
marking of a few feathers # a crest or a fractional difference in length
of wing or size marks the variation, yet the law of selection and mat
ing Is so carefully observed that each type of family is, always has been
and always will be kept distinct So rigid and certain is this natural law
that hybridzation is practically impossible under it. Nothing in nature
is to be found like the blending of types of man so common all over the
world. The mixing of white me with Ethiopian, Malay, Indian, the n.y.
birds product Of the race to be found in a hundred types, is a violation
of a natural and wise law, evidenced by the uniformly inferior quality of
such hybrds. 'Twere we'll did Ia follow natures law in this matter.

No crop which is generally grown
has greater recuperative power than
corn. Through the corn growing belt
the adverse climatic conditions of May
and June may leave the crop on the
1st Of July in a stunted, backward
and altogether unpromising condition
but if it has been well cultivated up to-
that time the tropical heat of July,
August and half of September will do
.wonders with 1t and often insure a fine
crop where it had seemed impossible.
We are very much of the opinion that
September is really the crucial month
of the corn growing season. When
this month is hot and frostless it has
much to do with the filling of empty
%corncribs.
