customer of mine at the first store

OLD AGE PENSION.
Much Attention Given in France to
the Care of the INDECENT.

France evidently does not believe
that the old should be chloroformed
and put out of the way, for, according
to official reports received from United
States officials located at Paris, that
government has a system of pension
ing for the aged. For more than a
century the French government has
been experimenting with schemes for
giving an annuity to the old, not, how
eyer with entire success.
AT the present time deposits are re-
ceiyed from any person, regardless of
age, but the amount may not exceed
500 francs ($9G.50) in the course of a
year. An "count may be opened for a
child of three years of age; a married
woman may deposit money without her
husbands consent. At any age be-
tween fifty and sixty-five Cor earlier
in case of permanent disability to
work. the depositor may claim his an
nuity, which is calculated according to
Churchill standard. (Fallon, Nev) 1903-1908, 1905-12-09

the cmount of his deposit and interest
and the probabilities Of life, but the
annuity may not exceed 1900 francs
(s23l.60).
In rural districts the tax gatherer is
empowered to receive deposits, and in
many factories a certain percentage is
deducted from the wages and paid to
the Caisse in the workman's name. A
branch of the Caisse may be founded
in any town or village, with the per-
mission Of the project of the depart
ment, and there are about $500 of such
branches, with nearly 100000 de-
positors.
There are several large institutions
for the care of the INDECENT aged. Some
of these are free and al others a small
charge il made for board and lodging.
At Issy, near Paris, is an institution
for widowers, widows, or married
couples, of whom both are over sky
five years of age and who have been
married at least fifteen years.
There are many small institutions
founded by private persons for old
officials. at some Of which the charge

Practical Farm Experiments.

OF the various publications of the
Department of Agriculture the most
useful and probably the most popular,
is a farmers bulletin issued five or
six times a year ON experiment station
work. practical Farm Experiments"
would probably be a comprehensive
title for these bulletins, as each
pamphlet of about 80 pages is COM
posed of a dozen or fifteen short de-
scriptions of practical farm matters,
the outcome Of the experiments and
tests of the variocS government ex-
pertinent stations all over the eoun' ry.
Their value lies largely in the fact
that each article is only a couple of
pages in length and it can be picked
up and read through at odd moments,
whereas when a farmer receives a
longer bulletin he is more likely to lay
1t away for some future reading when
he has more time, and as time is usu-
ally pressing on the farm, it is likely
never to get read at all.
Farmers Bulletin No. 233 is the
last issue of these bulletins and its lit
tie stories are decidedly interesting.
Information given on the root system
of field crops will be a surprise to
probably even some of the best in
formed farmers. An illustration Is
shown of corn roots as they occupy
the ground in the corn rows. 1t shows
a myriad of small rootlets, entirely en-
comprising the ground in every direc-
ton for a depth of almost four feet.
The root systems of various other
plants are described. Wheat roots oc-
cupy the ground to a depth OF four

Coffee FOrfhe Army,

The yearly contract for supplying
coffee for the United States Army is
about to be let by the Quartermaster
General, and the Department of Ag-
riculture has been called upon to de
eide which brand shall be purchased.
This test was made under the super
vision of DIR. Wiley. Chief of the Blu
reau of chemistry. He selected q jury
of veteran coffee drinkers who know
and can tell good coffee from bad by
favor and by the odor with the pot at
probably a hundred yards distant. The
Jury assembled in DIR. Wiley's office,
where the bureau cook had prepared
several small lots of coffee from the
samples submitted. They were tested

feet. Flax roots go down three and
tour feet. Grass roots, four to six
feet. Red clover completely occupies
the upper three feet of soil. Crimson
clover roots in a single year grow
three feet. Alfalfa roots go to the
enormous depth of twenty to thirty
feet. All of which may give some
farmers new ideas as to cultivation
which breaks the roots of plants, and
the distance at which to plant. When
late potato hills are three feet apart
eac~ -9y the soil is very fully occu-
pied Nv the roots to a depth of three
feet. Each potato hill, therefore, oc-
cupies twentY-seyen cuDit feet Of soil.
Salt Not Needed For Asparagus,
Another short article is on the Pop
er Fertilizers for Asparagus. Although
salt has been considered a time-hon-
ored necessity for this crop, it has
been found that asparagus will yield
as we'll without as with it except for
the fact enat the sat- prevents the
growth of weeds.
: Growing Mushrooms for Home Tse,
is another short article and Onion
Culture covers another. Another
short article gives the remarkable re-
suits of forcing early rhubarb with
ether.
Raising Calves on Skim Milk, sup
p~lemented, of course. by grain, is an
instructive little article, covering the
results of experiments in this line in
the government stations in Iowa, Ida
ho, Kansas, Nebraska and Utan. En-
tire success has been had with the
skim milk diet and the practice is
considered even more desirable By
some authorities than allowing the
youngsters to have natural milk.
Other topics discussed are Noodles,

housewives and some manufacturers

plants. representing about 100 diff
erent varieties. Many of these are
the product of the govCrnment's gar
deners, artificial pollenatiOn and cross
breeding valuable varieties, bringing
about most startling results. This
year the most successful of the de
partment's efforts is a magnificent yell
low flower fully ten inches in dame
ter. The petals are extremely heavy,
well shaped and all in all the bloom
is a huge ball of molten gold. The
flower is not merely n for show;
florists who have seen it declare that

The Mrs. Roosevelt Chrysantherrum.
Secretary Wilson was so pleased
with this "Seedling of 19O5' that he
authorized it named Mrs. Roosevelt.
in honor of the first lady of the land.
But the departments experiments
along the line of chrysanthemum
crossing are not always a success.
Last spring efforts were made to
cross two varieties-Merza and Lieu
tenant-C Colonel. Du Croisset-the lar
gest of the white and yellow kinds
with the hope of producing a combina-
tion of value. When the flower of the
new plant unfolded itself it presented
an ugly mass of brown, red, yellow
and white, and of but ordinary size.
1t had gone back. Other hybrids have
a tendency to go back to single petal
varieties and to distinctly different
color from the parents. And yet each
wear the efforts of the government
Gardeners are rewarded, even though
they produce one good specimen, by
obtaining a chrysanthemum OF rare
beauty and shape.

After the test the jury was dismissed
and the members each wrote a sep

coffee, and stating which of the sam
pies he considered the best. These
were placed in sealed envelopes and
sent to DIR. Wiley who opened them

gravel deposits are assumed to be the Wreckage of the ice streams which furrowed the rocks along the Hanks of the Sierra during the glacial age. The discovery of any human remains in this wrechage would, therefore, be positive proof of mans existence in ante glacial times.
 Excepting the CalaveraS skull, the oldest remains of man are those dis covered in the "bone caves" of France and Spain,- and in the submerged hab- itations of the lake dwellers of Swift Zerland But these all belong to the post glacial period, after the ice-sheet which once covered the continent of Europe had disappeared. Unless it can be shown couclusively that the stall agmitic deposits covering the bones found in the CalaVeras limestone caves are older than the ancient river gravel deposits. it must must be conceded that the antiquity of the remains is no grealter than those found in Europe, although it may be inferred from them that man lived on this continent thous- ands of years ago.-San Francisco Chronicle.
