ToRRiD BAHRiN.
The Persian Gulf Furnace Is Hotter
Than Denth Valley.

death valley, in southern Califor-
nia, is usually referred to as the hot
test spot on earth. but it isn't quite
that Mr. Ralph Erling tells me. "This
rather unpleasant distinction belongs
to q portion Of the shore Of the Per-
sian gulf at and in the vicinity Of
Bahrin.
statistics prove that the mean an
nual Temperature Of the Persian gulf
furnace Is III degrees higher than that
Of Death valley. and the aridness Of
both places is about on a par though
am inclined to believe. IL my recol-
lection of the records Is not blunted,
that little braclsish water has been
found in Il few isolated springs on the
alkali surface Of Death valley. where
MS there is no water az all 10 be found
on the shore Of the gulf anywhere
within radius Of nearly 200 miles.
"Yet. while Death valley IS inhabit-
ed by practically none and permanent
life there is deemed we'll nigh impos-
sible. Bahrin has a population Of sew
er0l thousand people and has had an
existence as village for many cen
turics. OF course the people nre stunt
ed mentally and to a slightly less cN-
tent physically. a fact due TO the fear
ful conditions under which they live,
but they DO live there and are proba-
bly, the nearest approach TO sala-
mandcrs I'm the human family. What
do they do for water and food? Why,
the latter Is brought TO them In boats
and sold IN exchange for the fertilizer
they dig from the desert. and the lat
ter they have IN fairly good abundance
near them. You thought | said there
was no water within several hundred
miles OF the place Well, so I dld-on
the land but there are n number Of
fresh water springs on the bed Of the
saline gulf within few hundred yards
from the shore.
1T is probably the only place on
earth where fresh drinking water is
secured from salty sea. The water
gushes up in considerable volume from
these springs and Is secured by divers.
The gulf is only about thirty feet deep
at this point. The divers plunge TO the
bottom with empty goatskins and place
the orlfce Of the skin bag directly over
the mouth Of the spring. 1t fills in
few seconds. and The diver closes the
orifce ana is pulled back TO the boat
by a rope. That is the way the water
supply Of the community on shore is
procured. The springs are supposed to
be due to underground streams which
have their origin in the green hills Of

"oUR FATHERS FRIENDS"

TN stoekbrfdge, Mass, may be seen a
memorial monument, set on a shaded
knoll overlooking a beautiful reach of
meadow It bears the Inscription: THE
ancient burial place of the Stockbridge In
dams, the friends of our fathers.')
Here. in this pleasant meadow place.
By trees o'erhung and with the breath
OF summer fragrant, for a space
finger, to recall the death
OF the red men OF yore. whose worth
Is here recorded; they were friends
Unto our fathers, and their earth
Is honoreG thus; their memory blends
Benignant with the tales of years
When red and white lived brotherly;
From tokenings of blood and tears
These cool, gray stones seem strangely
free.
What word. what deed, made peace pre-
vail?
why did they share the ancient good
OF wood and sky and river-dale
Sealing a pact Of brotherhood?
The elms, oerarching, answer naught,
But still the scene compels the gaze;
Beneath this shaft, In kindness wrought
Rest the red friends of older days.

Winter Protection of Trees.

In the northwest, root killing is ont
of the most serious troubles to which
fruit trees are subject Anything that
will prevent the severe freezing of the
surface soil will assist in keeping the
tree roots in good condition. Late au-
tumn blowing and fning of the upper
surface helps-in fact, is one of the
best methods of preventing root injury.
In addition to this, coarse litter or ma
nure spread under the tree to a dis
lance of three to six feet from the
trunk, will tend to prevent any serious
injury. During the first season it is
easily possible to insert spade under
the tree, completely bend it over and
cover with soil. This must be well
done and the tree must be raised early
in the spring before growth starts.

Growing Peppermint.

There are three localities in the
United States where peppermint is
grown as commercial crop, south
western Michigan, northern Indiana
and Wayne county, New York. It is
grown most proftably on mucky soils
though any good corn land will grow
peppermint. The field is plowed in fall
Or spring and fitted for it's crop by har-
rowing and rolling. Planting is done
from early spring until the end of May.
In burrows 30 inches apart pieces of root
stock are laid overlapping one another
in a continuous row. 1t is weeded and
cultivated until midsummer, when the
running stems hinder further use of
weeders and cultivators. Clean cultiva-
ton is necessary, as there are several
kinds of weeds which are injurious to
the oil if distilled with the mint. It is
harvested like hay, but it is not neces-
sary to cure it like hay, as it is taken
directly from the field to the still. The
yield of oil varies from 10 to so pounds
of oil per acre, 25 pounds being fair
average.-Prairie Farmer.

FARM NOTES.


Be systematic in the training Of
young horses.
Sheep to thrive well require frequent
change of food.
Comfort is a prime condition of ami
NAL growth, and this can be secured
only by comfortable surroundings.
Fattening steers must be supplied
with all the fresh water they want; 9TH
erwise they will become restless and will
not make the proper gains.-Orange

It is unnecessary to feed grain to
horses in winter If they are not at work.
Hay contains more mineral matter,
etarch and protein than an idle horse
will require, and grain is of no advan-
tage. 1t is proper, however, to give
horses a variety.-Midland Farmer.

it, as the force is downward and out.
A charge of this kind, if properly placed,
will blow out a stump very clean and
break it up so that it can be easily re-
moved.-F. G. Dawson, in Farm and
