LONG ENDURING OYSTERS.
Lighthouse Keeper Finds Them Well
Preserved After Many Months
In q Cellar.

Capt. Joshua Reeves, keeper Of the
Ludlam's Beach lighthouse, on the New
Jersey coast, tells this story Of the
longevity Of bivalves.
Last Thanksgiving day the captain
took quantity of oysters to his home
from an adjacent bay. The oyesters
were placed in cellar, and in a few
days all but half dozen were used.
A short time ago, while passing
through the cellar Reeves noticed the BIZ
valves lying on the floor and decided to
throw them away. But on picking one
Of them up he was astonished at its
heaviness. He also noticed that the
shell was tightly fastened. Frying the
shell open with knife he found that the
oyster was not only alive. but in prime
condition. Every one Of the six were
the same.

would try and do without 1t and drink
hot water. did this for several days
but got tired Of the hot water and
went to drinking coffee and as soon

Of course an exceptional expenditure.
as when 1t Is once done It Is done
for all time. This costs about $3.50
per acre. After the breaking, plow-

amount to about $5.25 per acre: that

Canadian prairie country. II man

er enough out of other crops, sale of
cattle. dairy and other products to

The Third Division.
The third division Of this great
country lies to the north of the wheat
belt, between 1t and what is known
as the forest country. AS wheat
growing implies the raising Of all
cereals, that can probably be raised
in the country, the remaining
branches of mixed farming are dairy
ing and the raising Of farm stock.
It must not be supposed that dividing
the prairies in this way is saying that
any one portion Of the country pos
sesses better soil than another. for
such is not the case-all districts arc
equally fertile, hut the topography
and climatic influences differ. az we'll
as the conditions for production.
Ranching and grain growing are car
ried on quite successfully In this
northern zone: but It IL found more
profitable to combine all the features
Of the industry. On account Of the
land being more broken than In tho
southern district. though the soil IL
equally fertile, there are not the Bams
opportunities for extensive operations:
and while cattle raising is as profitable
here as elsewhere, different methods
have to be adopted for their protec-
ton, especially in the winter season.
An authority on the subject has
stated that agriculture In any coun-
try never reaches the minimum Of
development until the farmers engage
at least proportionately in datryine.
