Petroleum in New ZeaIana.

BY far the greater part of the pc

from either the United States or TIL
Baku district of Russia, near the Cas-
plan Sea. Oil is being discoveries
every little while elsewhere, however,
and it is announced that encouraging
results are now being obtained in New
Zealand There were indications of
petroleum in that island as long ago
as 1865. but the first attempts to take
advantage of the fact were disheart-
ening. Only 80 barrels of fluid day
were discharged from the earliest o.
the wells, and the oil was contamiD
ated with mud and water
Some time later it was found that
there was an enormous pressure of
the rate of 400 barrels a day. 1t Is
said to be one of the finest oils ever
tapped The bore is down to depth
of 2.33' feet A company has Sc
cured rights over 5000 acres of land
in the vicinity, and as its present
storage capacity of 10000 gallons has
been almost filled the well has, for the
present, Jeen sealed down. The com
pany. howe ger. intends to erect a re
fineTy. and hopes within eighteen
months to have six other bores sunk
and working. The company's expert
anticipates a field of 1000 to 5000

To Keep Young.

Never retire from active life if you

refer to your advancing years or say
lat my age"
To preserve youth, you must have a
variety of experience. The country
woman at forty. although breathing
purer air and living on a more health
full diet than the city woman, often
looks fifty, while the latter at the same
age does not look more than thirty.
BIT her mind is more active than that
Of her country sister; thar is the secret
of her more youthful appearance.
Nothing else ages one more rapidly
than monotony-a dead level existence
without change of scene or experience.
The mind must be kept fresh or it will
age, and the body cannot be younger
than the mind.
Few minds are strong enough to
overcome the aging influence of the
monotonous life which tdles in the
average country home. City people
have infinitely greater variety of life
They enjoy themselves a great deal
more than country people. They work
hard when at work, but. when they
are through, they drop everything and
have g I'd time. There is no doubt
that the theater, in spite of its r w.
evils, has done a great deal To-. I'd

Valparaiso, the South American city
that has suffered fate similar to that
of San Francisco, is built upon 10 hills
or mountains belonging to tie coast
range and varying from 300 to LOO
feet in height. These hills are some
times separated by deep ravines
through which flow small streams of
water. The level ground along the bay
covers only a narrow strip, In some
places wide enough for four parallel
streets, In others barely wide enough
for two. 1t Is nowhere more than one
half mile in width. Much of this mar
row strip was made by filling up the
low ground along the bay and protect
ing it from the sea by stone walls and
iron rails.
Streets in the level part of the city
are generally straight, but the hills are
reached by winding roads, stairways
and steam lifts Belgian blocks form

Sweet Corn for Hogs.

Here is a suggestion that will be OF
much practical value at some time to
every raiser of hogs:
Not lnfrequently 1t happens that ear
ly in the fall, when green pasturage is
scarce, there seems to be nothing at
hand TO make a suitable ration for tho
hog. And 1t is the demands of this
period that sweet corn Is admirably
adapted to fill. 1t natures much ear
ler than field corn and long after It
has passed the table stage it affords a
toothsome dainty for hogs. There is
nothing like it to keep them In a thrift
ty, growing condition. Another point
in It's favor is that it makes a splendid
food during the transition from succu-
lent pasturage to mature field corn
later on. Sweet corn need not be fed
in large quantities; four or six ears
with stalks to the average 100-pound
pig is sufficient, with the slop and
other things usually fed. If the sweet
corn patch is inclosed, the pigs may
safely be turned in it; otherwise II
should be cut and fed in the pasture.
