Use Sulphur to Protect Vines.

All the large vineyard owners OF
California sulphur their vines as a
protection against mildew and thrips.
The method used Is the sulphur bel.
lows. which is so constructed that the
operator can eXpel material without
excess. thereby saving large per;
centage. There is receptacle on top
CT the bellows proper which is filled
with powdered sulphur. A tube passes
from the bellows through the sulphur
TO the lid. This tube has cap which
has four long holes cut in it and is
kept on the tube by n little brass
spring. When forcing air through,
the tube lifts the cap up to the holes
and forces the powdered sulphur out
of the discharge tube.

Animals Idea of Numbers.

Many animals have an idea Of con
crete numbers up 10 a few units and
some go even farther. A dog which
is accustomed to receive only three
pieces Of sugar will not ask for more
after he has had his quota. In certain
mines where horses are required to
make thirty trips day they walk at
once TO the stable after making the
thirtieth trip. Montague tells OF oxen
employed in the royal gardens OF
Suza, that refused to perform more
than their daily task of turning the
great irrigation wheels through one
hundred revolutions.

Peculiar CONSTRUCTION Of Dwelling

Peculiar Coastrection OF Dwelling
Houses In Burma.
In Burma a dwelling house is built
without a nail II Is hung on four
upright posts of teak or bamboo: seven
or eight feet from the ground the
planking OF the floor is tied to the up
rights with rattan; the walls are made
OF split bamboo plated into beautiful
and fanciful patterns. The roof con-
sists OF the leaves OF the toddy palm,
which have been soaked in salt water
to make them insect-proof. There are
no windows. but large flaps of the
plated bamboo walls are raised in
the daytime to admit light and air.
The house consists, in the case of the
poor. of only one good-siZed room, but
when there are several chambers they
lead off from the common room ana
are separated from 1t by partitions OF
plaited bamboo. These are generally
raised one or two feet from the floor
of the common room, but in no case
is one floor above the other in
Burmese house, IL being thought a
great indignity to have any ones feet
over ones head. The matched TOOLS
are highly inflammabe and leaning
against every matched house may De
seen a long hooked stick with wnlch

here in two SPECIAL trains. They made
a roundup of all the hotels and lodg-
ing houses OF the town to find out IL
accommodations could be secured for
the engine and train crews.
Their sea ch was successful, as they
found over 100 rooms. They also made
arrangements with the Courtland, Gill
naugh's and the Oberon restaurants TO
keep open all night in order 10 feed
the men who come In on late trains.
1t was stated that all crews. both
freight and passenger. would cut out
here. thus dashing the hopes of Reno
who thought IL would catch the pas
senger crews. This change will make
a big difference to Sparks. and the
people who have been here so long will
now see the fruition of their hopes,
or rather the blossoming, for many
things are to happen here before full
fruition.
1t has been arranged with the rail-

sixty-day meal tickets may take from
the employee an order which will be
paid by the company eitEer at Sacra-

orders VIII be cashed at Sparks.
