HOW CAVIAR Is PREPARED.
Nearly All of It Termed Russian Is a
 Domestic Article.

Nearly All Of It Termed Russian 10 O
 Domestic Article.
 Caviar is an edible preparation from the roe of the sturgeon, large sea fish, weighing up to 400 pounds each, found in the waters of all temperate or cold latitudes The best caviar Is pro- duced in Russia, that termed ''parnaje" being manufactured with great par ticularity. The cOmmoner kind, after draining, is packed in large casks and trampled down therein by barefooted peasant girls.
 The caviar used in this country is branded Russian, but about all of it is made from the roe of surgeons cap- tured in the Delaware river and other capture of sturgeon has so greatly re- duced the number of the fish that their roe has advanced in price during the last fifteen years in this country from 6 cents to 80 cents per pound.
 The National Provisioner explains that many sturgeon are captured singly by sweeping netting around them and rushing them on to the shore, where the roe is immediately cut out while the fish is still alive. Of course, the operation causes the creature's death. The roe is then worked through a sieve to separate the eggs from the muscles and other tissue of the roe, when the eggs are put into the pack ages as hereinbefore described. The Russian 'parnaje" caviar is all con- sumed In that country.
 One method of serving caviar is to take two tablespoonfuls of best olive oil, one of best vinegar, some chopped cabbage, parsley and garlic, mixing all together thoroughly and adding to the above proportions just before placing on the table half pound of caviar.

GROW PEcANs IN TEXAS.
Expert Says the Land Is Admirably
 Adapted to Culture.

Adapted to Culture.
 The development of the pecan indus try in west Texas is urged by many fla miliar with the great returns that can be had from the planting of the nut, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
 The tree will grow with very little cultivation and will bear for many years, and experts say that no crop yields a better return, especially as the land could be utilized sfor other crops during the time the oceans were com ing to maturity.
 H. A. Halbert, an expert on pecan culture, says:
 "As rough estimate we would say that the area of land in Texas on which the pecan will thrive without crowding is 20,000,000 acres. This vast area will grow half billion of trees. At low estimate of $5 per tree as an annual income the total annual value would be $2,500, 100000. This, in pounds, would be 50,000000,00O, or 1,250,000 arloads-enough to supply the world and in few years to absorb it's wealth. This estimate is made upon a basis of the low average rate in price and bearing qualities of the Texas wild pecan. Suppose this area was planted in. the improved soft-shell va rieties and the ruling price obtained for them, these figures would be great ly augmented.
 What are the actual facts, approxi- mately, of the area covered by the wild oceans in Texas? We would estimate it at about 300 square miles, or 32,000 acres. From this area are gathered and shipped the best bearing years, In carload lots, about 700 cars, or 30000, GOO pounds. The quality shipped by express and consumed at home by man and beast will make 10000,000 pounds. This quantity at , cents a pound should be worth to the State $2,000,- GOO. But prices are generally low on these bumper crops, and perhaps it actually brings only $1.0000O0 to the State. In my opinion nothing could be cultivated more profitably."

VARIED CROPS IN INDIANA.
Clark County Raises Sxunks, Coon Dogs,
 Snakes and Ginseng.


 Clark County probably raises the most varied crops of any section in the State of Indiana and has several peculiar industries, one of which is a skunk farm near Marysville, where the animals are raised for the pelts. Not far from this highly scented place is dog farm, in Washington Town ship, where various breeds are reared and sold. In Charlestown Township is another dog farm, where nothing but coon dogs are looked after, the pro- prietor of the industry getting high prices for them. Near Nabb is the headquarters of a side show where snakes are bred for sale. There is a farm not far from Jeffersonville where turtles are raised in large numbers.
 In Bethlehem Township number of farmers devote good part of their land to the culture of the sunflower, which is grown for it's seed, and the crop this season is expected to reach 100 tons and bring in a revenue of $3,000 In the same locality butter- bean raising is paying industry, and hundreds of gallons are now being shipped to Louisville and Cincinnati.
 A ginseng farm on Camp Creek, Washington Township, is attracting considerable attention. Next year the first crop of roots will be gathered. On the knobs in the vicinity of St. Jo- seph's hill is probably the largest grape vineyard in Indiana, nearly the entire crop being used in making wine. Near Henryville is one of the few for est reservations in the country, and in this Mongolian pheasants are being raised in large numbers.
