that state, but the planters have not
been able to produce a nut equal to the
far-famed Jordan, which is preferred
to all others by confectioners by rea-
son Of its beautiful shape. Many mil
lions of pounds of Jordan almonds are
now imported into the United States
annually, but the prospect is that in a
few years from now we shall be in q
position to export them.
The government, says the New York
Herald, employs the services Of half a
dozen agricultural explorers" as they
are called, whose business it is to ran
sack every corner of the world for
whatever seems desirable in the way of
new or valuab BILE plants. The same man
who secured the Jordan almond, not
withstanding the obstacles thrown in
his way by Spanish growers, sent over
not long ago bud wood" of some won
derful Persian walnuts, which are six
times the size of the ordinary ones and
deliciously favored. The wood has
been used for CRAFTS on common wal
nut seedlings and already some thou
sands of the grated trees are on hand.
The growing of Persian, otherwise
known as English" walnuts, has be-
come an important industry in south
ern California the last few years, the
annual crop amounting to more than
100000 pounds. When ripe the nuts
which are inclosed in a husk-are
gathered by Earring the trees, to shake
down those that are ready to fall, and
then they are dried in, the sun or by
artificial heat, so that they may keep
we'll and not turn rancid. Once in bear
ing, q plantatio of Persian walnuts is
one of the best paying properties un-
der the sun. The trees do as we'll as
far north as southern New York.
Experience has shown that pecan
trees grown from the big paper shelled
seeds cannot be relied upon to repro
duce their like. Hence, it is preferred
to send out grated seedlings, the "bud
wood" being obtained from the "freak"
trees already mentioned. Such seed
lings may be counted on to yield huge
nuts, which, as soon as they come to
be grown in large quantities, are likely
to be the most priced of all nuts in this
country, even surprising the Persian
walnut in popularity. Agrove Of these
trees may easily give an annual profit
of $1,000 an acre to anybody who has
patience to wait ten years for them to
come into bearing.
The cultivated chestnut is expected
TO take care of itself from now on.
Nurserymen are growing superior
varieties of the trees, improved by
grating, and before very long the
nuts, of giant size and exquisite flavor,
will be on the market at moderate
price. As yet they are only for rich
folk. Use, by cross fertilization, has
been made Of the European marion,
which is as big as horse chestnut, and
of the japanese chestnut, which is
nearly twice as large as the maroon,
the pollen of the foreign species being
employed to fertilize the blossoms of
our native chestnut. One of these cul-
tivated chestnut trees will yield clear
p-o.;t OF $40 to $50 per annum.

Million Depositors.)
kind have been forced to go out of
business.
What has made the government saw
ings bank such an enormous success
is the fact that a small deposit is as
welcome as a large one-the incom-
ing shilling being treated as seriously
as the incoming pound. In fact, the
government savings banks are intend
ed for small depositors, and more tnan
$3.50 year will not be received. But
the beauty of the whole thing is the
ease with which it is done. TO begin
with, anyone may deposit, and nearly
every post Office is a government saw
ings bank. All that the person who
wants to open an account has to do
is to go to the nearest postal substa-
ton and fill out blank giving his
name. address, etc. Then he gets a
depositor's book, in which he writes his
name, pays in his money, and has the
amount recorded in his book. This
ends the opening ceremony. And his
next deposit may be made in any part
of the country in which there is a
post office. Withdrawing money is al
most as easy. In the ordinary course,
all the depositor has to do is to send
to the central office, in free envelope
that can be had for the asking at any
substation, notice of withdrawal.
The central Office sends back a war
rant, which the depositor can leash in"
at any post Office, after having signed
his name in the presence of one of the
clerks, for comparison with his sigma
ture in his deposit book.
But by far the most remarka BILE part
of the governments savings banks"
system is the arrangement by which
the post Office will bank youngsters
penny for him, just as it does his IA
theirs pound. When a little boy or
-irl has penny to save all he or she
has to do is to buy stamp Herewith.
When the young fnancier has dozen
stamps the government will send him
especially made banking card on which
those II stamps are to be pasted, and
the whole thing sent in to the postal
savings bank department, which duly
starts Willie Jones' or Susie Green's
account with the deposit of one shil-
ling. And so anxious is the govern
ment to encourage the habit of econ
omv in the rising generation that it
will supply stamps on credit to school
masters and enter into the most mi
mute correspondence as to transac-
tons with the pupils. The government
also has system of "penny banks"
which. though for children, too, is
quite distinct from the stamp arrange
ment, but quite as quaint and interest
ing. But perhaps enough has been said
tn show how much need there is for
the 5000 clerks which the government
employs just to keep the accounts of
its millions of big and little clients,
and how distinctly complicated is the
work which they will do in the grea++
building in Kensin gton, whose founda-
ton stone was laid by the king three
years ago.

Especial Effort to Encourage the
Growing Of Nat Bearing Trees

ishlnE In California.

The United States government has
inaugurated a new kind of gift enter
prise. 1t is giving away trees, young
seedlings of improved varieties, and is
starting in to distribute them broad
cast over the country. A building in
the rear of the department of agricul-
ture has been setaside for the purpose,
with force of men to pack the trees,
some of which are simply tied in
bundles for mailing, while others are
shipped with their roots inclosed in
small tin cylinders.
Special attention is paid to nut
trees, with a view to encouraging the
cultivation of improved varieties of the
pecan, the Persian walnut, certain
other kinds of valuable walnuts from
Japan and the hazel nut. AS for the
last named nut otherwise known as
the flbert), which does not seem to be
fully appreciated in this country,
though greatly priced in Europe, no
grated seedlings are now ready for
distribution, though they are being
propagated. High hopes are enter
tanned for new species from Wash
ington state that grows on tree 60
feet long, which, because the stem is
too slender to hold itself upright, runs
along the ground line like a vine. The

found two tilberts in place of the usual
single one.
Last fall "bud wood" of the veritable
Jordan almond was obtained for the
first time from Spain, and before long
grated seedlings of this unequaled
variety will be furnished to growers in
California. Almond growing is already
an industry of great Importance in

have been pronounced by the United

provement. Heretofore there was .
great deal of gearing attached to the
use of the ordinary ships anchor, and
a great deal of time was consumed by

being a clumsy thing to handle.
One great advantage Of the newer
anchor is that it is without stock,

ests opened the Denver and Cheyenne gateway to the Rock Island freight traf- fc two months ago.
 The arrangements whereby the Rock Island now turns over freight to the Union Pacific at these points were com pleted in Chicago. Formerly the Denver and Rio Grande secured all the Rock Isl- and's through freight. Now the condition is changed and the Union Pacific is the recipient of most of it. The traffic agree ment whereby the Rock Island exchanges traffic with the Union Pacific does not include passenger business, which Is still handled by the Denver and Rio Grande. except that which originates at Mem- phis.
 It is understood that tentative move ment has been made by the Union Pacific toward securing friendly interchange with the Burlington through the Denver gate way. thereby completing the list of Dem ver-Chicago roads.
