Hcrdina Sea LNns.

In the sea lion rookerieS of the Alas
kan coast some curious stampeGes
are seen. At certain seasons OF the
year the Aleuts have drive of "see>
vitchie," as the lions are called. It
is generally begun in September or
October to gather in supply of win
ter meat
At night when the sea lions are ly.
ing in the sand above high water the
natives start their hunting. Armed
with sticks, clapping bones and guns,
they creep down to the waters edge
and carefully get between their game
and the sea, and at given signal
rush with yells and all manner OF
noise at the victims.
The terrible noise awakes and STAN
pedes the sea lions, each one rushing
in the direction in which it's head
happens to be pointed. In this way
some go inland and a few escape &c
the water.
The stampede ends disastrously for
those that head inland. The ungain.
ly creatures are driven by cries and
shouts to the houses of the hunters.
There stakes are placed in the ground
about them, forming a sort of corNG.
To the posts streamers of cloth are
fastened, and the foolish sea lions are
afraid to approach the hutterine
things.
Other catches are added until the
herd corralled numbers two and three
hundred, and then the final march is
taken up. The sea lions are liberated
from the corral and driven in the di.
rection OF the Aleut village, ten OF
twelve miles away, the journey TAX
ing from one to two weeks.

TREE BLIGHT.

The disease common to apple and
pear trees known as blight or fire
blight SO destructive throughout the
north central portion of the United
States last summer. has been well
known to horticulturists for nearly
one hundred years. 1t is therefore not
a new disease. lit has been observed
during this time that the disease APP
pears as an epidemic at regular inter
walls. 1t was once thought that the
outbreaks were periodio,' in five, ten
or, twenty year periods, but study
of the literature on the subject does
not afford proof Of this theory.
In 1878 Prof T. J. Burrill of Illo-
nois advanced the hypothesis that
blight was caused by certain bacteria,
which were always found in blighted
tissues. This supposition was con-
firmed by subsequent experiments by
different investigators.
Prof, T. c.. Arthur has demonstra$ed
by repeated experiments the presence
of specific form of bacteria which
is always associated with blight. This
particular form has been isolated and
afterward transferred to healthy It's
sue, causing blight

THE GREAT PREVALENCE OF
3, SWEET CLOVER.

,s~As one rides through the state he
sees that the sweet clover is getting
a strong foothold in our state. 1t
grows in great .profusion alongside
the roads, in fence corners, along the
bitches and in some of the pastures.
in fact it is growing everywhere and
is fast becoming great pest If
feed be scarce in the pastures, cattle
will eat it when it is coming up and
is only a few inches high, but even
then they prefer the other clovers and
grasses, but after it gets any size,
nothing will eat it. AS big a nuisance
as it is, it is one of the easiest weeds
10 kill. 1t is biennial and goes to
seed the second year, when the roots
of the old plant die the same as do
those of the red clover. All that is
necessary to do to destroy it is to-
keep it moved down two years and it
is gone. Better have blue grass
growing than the sweet clover which
one sees now on every hand.

The ST. Peter's of Asia.

The most imposing and awe inspir-
ing edifice in Lhassa is the great pal
ace and abode of the Dalai Lama.
This is veritable acropolis. rising
four hundred feet above the roof tops.
This palatial monument to Buddhism
is composed of a series of square
structures and temples, grouped one
above the other. A central building
of red sandstone, thirteen stories in
height, is the official residence of the
incarnate boy ruler of Tibet, said to
be about twenty years old This is
styled the st. Peters of Asia, surpass-
ing even the Vatican in spaciousness,
containing more than three thousand
rooms, innumerable temples with
domes Of gold. The other edifices con-
tain the quarters of the high Dig
nitaries, officials, priests and religious
personag9s. During the great celebra-
tions and fetes twenty-five thousand

WATER FOR PLANTS.

Our friend thefscientist states that
for land to do its best it's water con-
tent should be Steadily maintained to
within from 40 to 30 per cent of satur-
alton. Prof King tells us that where
this has been maintained by the appli
cation of the needed water their small
est yield was four tons of dry matter
per acre. and the largest seventeen
tons, and an average of over seven
tons when twenty-five cases were
tried We all know that this is very
much in excess of what most orsus
are doing.f We also know that all
plant food in the soil is soluble in
water under certain conditions, and
that all plant food with perhapsNone
is taken into the plant through the
moisture that is in the soil. This be-
ing the case, no matter how rich our
soil may be, if tits. perfectly dry the
plant has no means of getting hold
of the plant food. The vegetable mat
ter is made available through the mil
lions of bacteria that are in the soil
Our flint corn takes $3.50 gallons per
acre each day less moisture to bring
it to perfection than any other crop
we grow, using some $50 tons DIVA
ter to grow one ton of dry matter;
Dent corn 800, and other crops ~vary-
ing amounts, till we reach oats, which
use from 500 to 700 tons. An apple
tree, during the time it produces its
fruit, will use $50 gallons per day, or
on an acre, with the trees 80 feet
apart. $3.50 gallons per day. Prof.
! King tells of four stalks Of corn that
used in thirteen days, as they were
coming to tassel. 1906 pounds of
water, or nearly three pounds for each
stalk per day. This gives us some
idea of the importance which moisture
has in the growth of plants.

TENT CATERPILLARS.

An Iowa reader asks us how to des-
troy the tent caterpillar. as they have
defoliated his plum orchard.
when tent caterpillars occur on
small trees, they can be easily reach
ed, and a good way of destroying
them is to go over them in the spring
of the year about the time the leaves
are appearing. when the first signs
of the nest will be noticed. At this
time the worms may be easily reinov-
ed with the nest and destroyed. Later
on the same practice may be followed,
but not quite so easily. Another rem
edy is to remove the eggs in the win
ter or early spring. These eggs are
grouped :. together in cylindrical
cluster around the small twigs, and on
a clear day may be easily distinguish
ed when the twigs stand out against
the sky, when these may be pruned
off and burned. If none of this work
has been done, or if in spite of it the
worms are still abundant, the best
remedy is to spray the foliage with
Paris green at the rate of one pound
to one hundred and fifty gallons of
water and add to it one pound of lime.
The foliage of plum trees is very
liable to be burned by the Paris green
mixture, and on this account every
effort should be made to avoid such
sprayings. In using Paris green even
as here recommended it is well. to
first experiment on a small portion of
the tree to note what the effect is on
the foliage; if the foliage is burned
the amount of Paris green should ba
reduced.

IGNORANCE.

In the century before Christ the
prophet Hosea said, my people are
destroyed for lack of knowledge. The
same idea runs through some of Hulk
ley's lay sermons. Negligence, indo-
lence and filth are the offsprings OF
ignorance, and the filth diseases,
typhoid fever, diphtheria, cholera and
the like take on their epidemic form
in places where the laws of health
are ignored. That the London of to-
dav is healthful, while two centuries
ago it was the plague spot OF the
world, comes from the increased
knowledge OF her rulers and people.
One farmer, by carelessness and
filth, may start the swine plague that
misy sweep to other herds and soon
become epidemic. Until the mass OF
darymen have clear knowledge of the
laws of sanitation we must expect dis
ease among our cows. No farmer Is
excusable who neglects to furnish
pure water. pure feed and heaithful,
clean, airy quarters for his farm ami
mails.

SECURING THE HAY CROP.

!, There seems to be quite diversity
of opinion as to the best time or al
what particular stage of it's growth
grass should be cut to make the best
and most nutritious hay, some claim
ing from analysis made that the seed
forming grasses should be cut while
in bloom, while others from the same
source OF information claim that the
seed should be formed before the
grass should be cut, and there are,
still others who maintain that TIM
.othy especially should become ripe
before being cut to obtain. the best
results. We prefer to begin cutting as
soon as the timothy is in full bloom
ana pushing the work of harvesting
the crop as rapidly as possible until
the crop is secure. BY so doing by
the time the harvesting is completed
the most of the farmers have hay put
up in the condition advocated by all
the different analytical tests, and
some portion of the crop, if properly
cured and stacked or protected from
the elements, must be in first-class
condition and of the proper feeding
quality. AS hay harvest comes in the
busiest season of the year the farmer
must use his best judgment as to the
time of harvesting the crop, as his
work at this time may be subject to
conditions over which he has no con-
troll. The. one thing he must do is to

THE OLIVE IN THE SOUTHWEST.

Olive oil is now being shipped by
the ton from the Salt River valley
of Arizona and the business is on the
boom. The entire valley is being dot
ted with olive orchards, and at this
season of the year the trees are COW
cred with thousands of tiny star-like
buds, which will soon be followed
by the fruit formation, which when
matured on the trees will amount to
hundreds of pounds of fruit. Olives
remain on the trees until they are
thoroughly ripe before they are pick
ed to have the oil squeezed and press
ed from them.
When the olives are ripe it requires
a large number of hands to pick them,
for the work must be done quickly.
This is usually done by spreading
large canvas sheets around the trees,
upon which the pickers throw the
olives as they are plucked off the
branches. Once they are picked the
fruit is carried to the crushing ma
chine. which breaks the fruit up much
as apples are crushed for cider. The
pulp is then put into machine which
presses the juice from it. which runs
off into tank, where by force of grav-
ity the oil proper rises to the top and
is skinned off and put away for sew
eral months before it is bottled ready
for the market. 1t requires about
seventy-fve pounds of fruit to pro
duce a gallon of OIL

WILL HAS ROMANTIC HISTORY.
One OF the Many Strange Documents

One OF the Many Strange Documents
Preserved at Somerset House.
In the heart of London. facing on
one side of the famous thoroughfare
known as the Strand, and en- the other
looking on the Thames, is situated
Somerset house, once O private palace,
but now devoted TO various depart
ments of the inland revenue of Great
Britain.
Perhaps the most interesting gov
eminent department in Somerset
house is that devoted TO the fling Of
Wills. and as might be supposed, the
collection is immense, varied and eX-
traorGinary, ranging from the will of
Shakespeare himself containing prac-
tically the only known autograph of
the world-renowned poet. right down
to mere curiosties in wills, such as
those carved on the lid of desk or
contained within secret cabinets or
escritoires. There are wills leaving
immense sums to cats and dogs; wills
written in human blood. But the most
interesting one has quite a romantic
history.
1t is the will of a British official
who died in Cairo of the plague. Be
fore his death he took care to pre-
pare his will upon parchment pro-
cured from the skin of freshly killed
goat; but as he handled this skin
himself it was thought later on that
the will might have the power OF
transmitting the dreadful plague from
which it's writer died. Accordingly,
after having been passed from hand
to hand with somewhat disastrous re-
suits in the way of plague and death,
the will was put into bottle of spir-
it's. Arrived at Somerset house, the
will was read to the next of kin and
deposited among the archives of the
department.

THE, RAPE PLANT AND CABBAGE
WORMS.

It is said on good authority that a
patch of rape sown near the cabbage
rows will attract the millers which
infest the growing cabbage plant, and
thus save them from the ravages of
those pests. the worms. Every gar
den should also be provided with a
miller trap, made by hanging a light
ed lantern at night over a tub or
barrel. which Is nearly full of water,
with a gallon or two of kerosene oil
added The insects will congregate
about the light in immense numbers
and fall. into the oil where they will
be destroyed as they come in con-
tact with the lantern globe.
