An English Novelist's Mission.

We note with satisfaction the an,
nouncement that Mr.. II. Rider Hag,
gard has been nominated by the Sec
retary of State for the Colonies to pro-
coed to the United States to inquire
into and report upon the conditions and
character of the agricultural and i'll
dustrial land settlements formed there
by the Salvation Army for the recep-
tion of immigrants from the great
cities Of the United States. Mr.. Rider
Haggard has for several years devoted
his energies in most public spirited
manner to most exhaustive inquiries
into the conditions of agriculture in
this country. his competence for the
task intrusted to him is above question.
and he is sincerely to be congratulated
on this well merited official recognition
of his patriotic and disinterested ex-
crtions.-London Spectator.

The Cut Flower Market.

Horticulture has become an import
ant commercial industry in the United
States since 1925, when it was started,
according to the census reports, in Phil
adelphia. 1t now cuts an important
figure in the local trade of all cities.
Ir 1900 the wholesale value of tiori-
cultural products in the United States
was estimated by the Census Bureau
at $1S,422, ,522, and the retail value of
these products was placed at S3O,OOO,-
600. The annual income from cut
flowers was then estimated at from
S12.OOO.OOO to S14,OOO,OOO An average
of S6.O00,OOO is spent on roses alone.
and the traffic in carnations amounted
in the last census year to S4,OO0.OOO.
The annual production Of roses and car
nations to supply the market is esti-
mated at 1OO,OO0,OOO each. Violets
and chry in the production
Of which California at present excels,
come next in the order of popularity,
the annual sales of the former aggrc-
eating $750,0O0 and of the latter $780,
600.
Horticulture has thus become a great
industry, which gives employment to
a vast army Of workers, and the pro-
duction of any rarity means a bonanza
to the owner. for everybody loves flow
,ers and buys flowers, and the wealthy
classes will pay almost any price for
the choicer varieties.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

W;::.am UXley. Died December 20.
1872, aged 949 years" How any per-
son could have attained such an
extraordinary age many have wonder
ed but the problem has at last been
solved. The dead man was 40 years
of age, but when the stonecutter did
the work he made Mr. Uxley "a by
mistake. Marble was expensive in
those days, and although the ste ne

tradesman did not feel like casting 1t
aside. After the 94 he cut a nine,
and then filled in the first nine with
plaster, leaving the age, 40. as re-
quired. The ravages of time and
weather have laid bare the work as it
was originally. and now the tombstone
proclaims William Uxley to have
been 949 years of age.-Philadelphi

prove that the potato can man and the

at least, to a certain section of the pull

exccllently cooked food to the cold and

fact that the hot potato and the chest
nut have been picked ont as practical

that, after all. this choice is based on
sound dietetics. According to re-

find that its composition is as follows:

The chestnut contains. therefore, less
water, more proteid, more starch. more
fat, but less mineral matter than the
potato. The chestnut is. i'll fact, more
nutritious than the potato, not because
it contains different constituents, hut
because weight for weight it contains
greater proportion of them.-Lancet.

HOW TO KEEP BOYS
ON THE FARM.
An Experiment Made by Genera
Sheridan With Indians Thar May
Solve the Problem.

1t is often a question how shall we
keep our boys on the farm. The Rural
New Yorker publishes the following
article. the last sentence containing
their idea of good solution Of the
problem:
The value of the American hen to
society is usually given in terms OF
meat or eggs. She fills the dinner pail
and provides the groceries, pays the
mortgage, or shingles the house.Dut
this is not all. Many stories could be
told of the way she has held society
together. In the early history of Ply
mouth it was the broth made from Il
choice hen that saved the life of n
friendly Indian chief and prevented
the ferociOus King Philip from start
ing out with the scalping knife at n
time when he could have cleaned out
the whites! Another instance of the
power of the hen to soOthe the savage
breast was given by member of the
New York Farmers:
Many years ago l was talking with
General Sheridan. in Chicago. He
told me that when he was a major of
cavalry, in Arizona, lie was in charge,
on behalf of the Government, OF a
tribe of Indians, the COloradOs, and
his duty was to coniine them to their
reservation. His principal difficulty
was OH account of their nOmadic char
acter; no matter what effort he made
to make their homes comfortable for
them, still they would leave them
and travel away, and had to be
brought back by the cavalry at short
intervals. He finally decided that if
he could give them some interest in
the way of live stock, it might be an
anchoring influence. so he succeeded
in having the Government give them
stock of horses. That, however, did
not answer the purpose, for they drove
the horses, and continued to travel
with the horses and mares and colts,
as they had before. Then he tried the
experiment of giving them cattle, but
after the cows had produced calves
in the spring of the year the Indians
Travelled. and the stock Travelled with
them. Finally he hit upon the idea of
giving item Il stock of poultry, and
the squaws promptly realized the value
of the product of the hens in the DO
nestle economy, became attached to
the eggs and attached to the chickens,
and when the bucks proposed that they
should make their summer migration,
the squaws said "No." The result of
the poultry experiment was that for
the first time he was enabled to an
chor these Indians to the place where
the Government desired to keep them.
There are many boys on the farm to-
day who could be anchored to the
old home if they could be interested in
q good hen.
