side has served as Il shady seat for the
older members of the family, and a
swaying swing for the children, for
many years; but So strong is the tough
old growth that frequent usage does
rot seem to harm it, although a more
brittle or frail wood, of the other
lawn evergreenS, would have been
broken off long ago.
Although many of these bOX-freaks
are left untrimmed through all their
years of development, occasionally adj
ditiOnal freak forms are added in these
days, when a bush of unusual develop
ment suggests curious possibilities.
The circular dOmeS-which is the form
most commonly assumed by the nat
ural untrimmed growth, is frequently
changed to a rOOfess summer house
by having the upper branches trimmed
away in the center; this gives Suffi
cient light and air to the roots so that
the surrounding walls of foliage as
sumo extra denseness and only a
slight opening at one side is left for
entering the retreat. The closely
rooted summer house of bOX-buSh is
the favorite, however In this form
the only trimming necessary is an
occasional clipping on the outside to
keep the naturally uniform growth
more compact, and thorough cutting
away of the dead branches of the in
terror to form rOOmy retreats, and al
low space for rustic seats, that are
frequently constructed within the box
bush summer house. A glimpse of one
of the inmates emerging from this odd
summer house gives one an idea of the
huge dimensions frequently attained
after years of growth under favorable
conditions by a single root of the COM
mon box.

and can be used as a filler and enrich
ener, particularly for the masses of in
sipid compound jellies, made of waste
material, and all tasting exactly alike.
or, more properly, not tasting at all
out with a little dried guava added
the latent favors will all be brought
out with an enlightenment which will
make these inferior jellies, and pre-
serves, more than attractive. There is
scarcely limit to the uses for guaya
in manufacturing food products, and
as an enrichener to the host of articles
Ill which fruits are used. Another
tropical fruit which will, when cured.
have similar, as well as distinctive
uses of its own, is the mango, produc-
ed in such quantities in all tropical
countries that the supply is almost
without limit. The mango grows on
great spreading trees, densely leafed,
looking, at a little distance, like great
mounds of green, and in the season
they are loaded down with abundant
fruit resembling large plums of d rich
orange color tinged with red, shining,
lustrOus, against the dark green foil
age. This fruit, it is claimed, cures
under the new process without great
difficulty, and, it is confidently expect
ed, will become one of the most pOpu-
lar of all the cured fruit used in
America; for the taste once acquired
lasts always; then in the tropics they
have a saying that in the mango sea-
son everybody gets well, ample testi-
mOny to the healthfulness of the fruit.
DIR. Nicholas anticipates that his dis
cOveries will serve a useful purpose,
and he is now making arrangements to
establish a plant for treating fruit.
On being asked how soon material
could be shipped, he replied that he
hoped to see some shipments sent for
ward during the coming season, but
that much was still to be done, and
there was urgent need of the cooper
alton of practical business men to help
organize, because it is one thing to
develop new process and quite an
other matter to utilize it successfully.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1906-02-14

DR.. Nicholas, being practical as well
as man of scientific attachments,
has prepared a method for fruit curing
which he says is inexpensive and
thoroughly adapted to the require
ments of the countries in which it will
be used.
Samples of pineapples prepared by
DR.. Nicholas at his laboratory, % Bea-
yer street, New York, are said to pos
sess thorough keeping qualities, being
completely cured, and at the same
time retaining all the flavor of the
original fruit; a condition not found
in any of the candied pineapples, and
even the canned frTIits are insipid
when compared to cured pineapples
prepared by the new process.
When one considers the great de-
mand for pineapple in candy and liz
preserve making, and reflects that i'm
the country of origin pineapples are
often almost given away, the product
of one plantation i'm Cuba having been
offered at 1 IL cents each, and the
usual price is but little more than
that, then one can appreciate what
an opportunity is for profit in estab-
=
from it an article which is always in
active demand. That curing plants
have not been established to handle
pineapples and other tropical fruits
is owing to the fact that such fruits
do not cure successfully under Ordi-
nary treatment, and it was not known
how to handle them till DR.. Nicholas
made series of experiments, while
in southern countries, and discovered
what he claims is a satisfactory meth
3D.
Among the numerous tropical fruits
susceptible of curing under the new
process, guavas are worthy of some
notice. No fruit is more abundant,
and it is said that if land owner lets
piece of pasture remain uncleaned
for time he will find it full of young
guava trees, and so abundant and ra-
pid is their growth that the trees are
considered a nuisance, and people are
constantly grubbing them out of their
lands. 1t is remarkable that guavas
have been so long neglected, for there
is not anywhere fruit so highly nu
tritiOuS nor one which lends itself to
so many uses. The flavor harmOnizes
with all other fruits, and the strong
jelly making properties are such that
guava can be counted on to give a
pleasing consistency wherever used.
There is a future for cured guava be-
cause it will be extremely low priced,

His Tip.

Harry Payne Whitney tells of a

who, wherever he may be, is salts
fled with no less than the best, says
the New York Tribune.
During the racing season in the
West this horseman once invited a
friend In humble circumstances to
dine with him at a certain very ex-
pensive hostelry.
The guest was much impressed by
his surroundings and made frequent
inquiries touching the cost of the var
ious luxuries there to be obtained.
AS the dinner neared its close he ask
ed the horseman as to the amount of
the tip he usually gave to the waiter.
"Well," said the horse owner, "if
he serves me well L generally hand
him a dollar. If the service is bad,
why, l give him tip on the races.

A New Alfalfa.

The semi-arid station at Hays
City, Kansas, has discovered spe-
cies Of alfalfa that will grow on the
uplands without irrigation. 1t has a
fine stem, bushy top, and grows az
thick as timotey. 1t does not require
much moisture. 1t will yield three
crops a year and the seed crop is
said to be larger than the regular
alfalfa. The new discovery means
much for the great plains region.
In the past alfalfa has been grown In
the valleys, which, Of cource, form
only small part of the area. The
new crop will enable farmers and
stock raisers to produce alfalfa any
where. Some people think there Ia
only one kind of alfalfa. The fact is,
there are fourteen different kinds,
but only one or two will grow on the
uplands without much moisture and
one of these we have had here In
Colorado for several years. 1t has
produced three cuttings in season
Of normal precipitation like the
past has been.

Deer In Illinois.

An Illinois exchange says: "a
resident Of Tazewell county, in the
central part of the state, has given
his private herd Of deer to the state
as the nucleus toward the establish
ing Of q game preserve in Illinois.
There are twenty-five animals in the
herd and they will be turned loose
under the protection of State Game
Warden John A. Wheeler, who will
give special instructions to his assist
ants regarding the same, and ask the
sportsmen of the state to assist him
In protecting them. u4
There are other private herds Of
deer in the state, and the action of
the Tazewell county man may in
fluence the others to turn their
animals loose. If properly protected
for a few years, 1t is said that the
animals will increase In such num-
bers as to give Illinois game preserves
equal to the finest in the old country"
