A few days ago r. X. Colcord, Jas

a trip to Esmeralda county in order

near Hawthorne, and bC+n claims have

mines at one time excited the people

as the work grew deeper and the ex-

ground was leased to different par

that they paid handsome royalty to
the parties owning the ground.

the only drawback to the camp or to

HEIGHT OF FRUIT TREES.
Tendency Of Progressive Orehardist
Now In to Lower Heads for All
Kinds of Fruits.

There is considerable difference of
opinion among orchardists az to the
height at which fruit trees should be
headed In the eastern states there are
many who think the trunks should be
four to five feet, and some Of the ap-
pie orchards have bodies taller than
this. However well this may be for the
eastern conditions, it is not the proper
way to train trees anywhere in the CEN
trail and western states, and in the east
the tendency is to lower heads. The
more recently. planted apple orchards
are rarely over two to three feet to
the lower branches, and the pear or
ichards from one to two feet.
Any one who has had experience in the
west knows that the hot suns and al
most constant summer winds work
havoc in orchards that are headed high.
The fat-headed apple tree borer works
IN the trunks and large branches that
are exposed to the sun. have seen
apple trees in northern Texas that
were badly attacked by this insect al
most ten feet from the ground. IN
Kansas and Missouri 1t is not so album
dant and destructive, but nearly all the
apple trees with tall, bare trunks have
borers on them. i
Tall heads give the wind greater
power over the roots, which strains
them unduly, often causing the trees to
incline to the northeast or fall to the
grounds. The fruit is much harder to
gather from tail headed trees than from
those with low heads. T
Spraying is much more easily done
on low-headed trees, and the same is
true of pruning. There does not seem
to be any good reason for heading fruit
trees high, except that they are trouble
some to cultivate when the branches
are very close to the ground. This
can be largely overcome by using tools
that are made to meet these require
ments.-Midland Farmer. ~ -

WITHDRAWING Fr.it Trees.

Z The old-time method of whitewashlne
the trunks of trees is not usually credit
ed with its full value. Farmers follow It
considerably, though, perhaps. more
from 1 country habit than with definite
reason before them. Prof. NJ. T. Maco,ln.
horticulturist for the Canadian depart
ment of agriculture adds that 1t is most
effcient composed of 60 pounds Of lime,

the lime more opportunity to exercise

st.ay Of Ordinary clay.

" Study of Ordinary Clay.
S An investigation extending over many
wears has shown H. J. Gamble that all
ordinary clay loses its cohesive proper
ties on being dried until nearly all its
moisture is expelled. On being
sdrenched with much water such clay be-
comes almost liquid mud; but clay that
has not been so dried does not absorb
more water, and loses only some Of its
outside particles in the washing. A
s block of the dry clay absorbed so per
cent. of it's weight Of water without
change of form, suddenly collapsing into
q Auid condition when the amosnt
reached 60 per cent. Landslides and
washouts seem to be largely due to this
overlooked change in clay; and river
sbluffs remain unaffected because the clay
has nsyer dried sufhciently to acquire
the property 81 soaking up an excessive
proportion of water.

wa.p.. sense Of Location.

.
There is no doubt among naturalists
that many insects have certain senses
.thaf human beings have not. The sense
of location shown by the wasp, for ex-
ample, is remarkable. The bombex
,necies builds its nest in sandbank
that is only = part of several acres Of
such soil. and, when it leaves in search
Of food, 1t covers up the nest 30 care
fully that no ordinary eyes could dis
stineuish its location: that is to say, 1t
is Just like all the surrounding surface.
And yet the wasp flies back to 1t with
out hesitation. and finds It without max
ing a mistake. There is another wasp
1that, unerringly locates the eggs Of the
mason bee under a thick layer Of sum
baked clay, and deposits her own eggs
in the same cells that her young may
have food when they are Matched.

PREDEsTINED TO BULLET.
Deadly piphtheri. calt.re Did Not
Acct s1an Doomed to q Diff
ferent Death.

In the experience of DR.. Adolph Gehr.
mann, of the Columbus laboratories,
there has been at least one man under
his observation who, born to die by bull
let, has been immune to the germ of diph-
liberia under most aggravated circum-
stances.
DR.. Gehrmann was speaking of the in
frequency Of laboratory infection of any
kind, and, failing to recall one instance
of such infection where it had occurred
in laboratory work, he recalled case
where, in class in the College Of Physi-
clans and Surgeons, an act that ordinari-
ly would be classed as suicidal was made
simply a story for laughter, that the sub
ject of it might become the victim Of an
Arizona bullet several years later.
.. Before Q class in the school ON that
particular morning q specimen OF diph.
iberia was passed down the line in cup
with = small brush in 1t, in order that
the students might put touch of the
matter upon the slides for microscopic
examination Of the germs. This particu-
lar>student. who seemed to have been
marked for an Arizona graveyard, mis-
took the purpose of the cup and brush.
When it was passed to him. thinking5it
was q wash in the treatment of the dfs-
ease, and desiring to feel it's effect, lie
took the brush, opened his mouth wide,
and swabbed his throat vigorously.
I'VE got him out in a minute and ap-
piled antiseptics until you couldn't rest, %
said DR.. Gehrmann. '"The whole per-
Torrance had been so unexpected and
so horrible that the class was stampeded
for moment As for the student, he was
q big, husky fellow, and he was less con-
cerned than most of US. Well, the infec,
tious matter didn't feaze him. There
! were no consequences following It, and
the boy went the even and uneven tenor
Of school life to the point Of graduation.
Then he took to the even, and. uneven
tenor of life in Arizona, and in q mixup
With a native = few months later he WAS
shot and killed.
Z @"It doesn.t prove anything, Of course -
admits the doctor. 1T leaves us guess
ing, as we always have been guessing,
over the question and the possibilities of
predestination. But at least THO example
that / have spoken of is made the strong
er from the fact that the man escaped
diphtheria and died by bullet. To es-
cape bullet and die by diphtheria would
not have seemed have SO significant. -

When celery is grown in consider

advisable to construct the place early
in the season to make sure that It is
