WHO OWNS THE NORTH LANDsi

Question Somewhat Academic, but
Very Interesting.
The voyage of the Canadian govern
ment cruiser Arctic to the far north
suggests for consideration the ques-
ton Of the ownership Of some far
northern lands. For many years ex-
plorers of various nationalities, Brit
sh, American, Scandinavian and
others, have ventured into the frozen
wilderness lying between the dominion
Of Canada and the north pole, and have
there discovered lands hitherto I'M
known. and have named them and
planted flags upon them. There has
been much international rivalry in the
work of celebrating the arctic map and
of pushing on toward the pole But
there has been little thought in the
minds Of the adventures or in that
of the public of the delimitation of in.
ternational boundaries in the realms of
paleocrystic ice and eternal snow. But
now the Canadian government brings
that thought to mind in the intimation
that the dominion extends clear to the
north pole, and that all the lands which
have been discovered and explored In
those regions, no matter by whom, are
under the British flag.
ACCIDENTALLY, the question is some
what complicated, and might form the
subject of interminable argument
There are those who hold that discov-
cry and exploration give title to new
lands, while others insist that title is
not perfected without actual occupation
and permanent settlement. But how
if the lands in question are not fit for
or susceptible of settlement?-New

the entire gulf coast is closely In
spected by pearl fishers or prospectors
The best pearls are to be found in the
bottom of the pearl beds. For this
reason old beds that were some time

SALLoW FACES

Often Caused by Coffee Drinking.
How many persons realize that cof-
fee SO disturbs digestion that it pro-
duces a muddy, yellow complexion?
A ten days trial of Postum Food Cof-
fee has proven a means, In thousands

experience:
"All of us-father, mother, sister and
brother-had used tea and coffee for
many years until finally we all had
stomach troubles more or less.
1--WE were all sallow and troubled
with pimples. breath bad, disagreeaole
taste in the mouth, and all of us simply
so many bundles of nerves.
1--WE didn't realize that coffee was
the cause of the trouble until one day
we ran out of coffee and went to borrow
some from a neighbor. She gave us
some Postum and told us to try that
Although we started to make it, we
all felt sure we would be sick If we
missed our strong coffee, but we were
forced to try Postum and were sur
prised to find ii delicious.
1--WE read the statements on the pkg,
got more, and in a month and a half
you wouldn't have known us We were
all able to digest our food without any
trouble, each ones skin became clear,
tongues cleaned off and nerves in fine
condition. We never use anything now
but Postum. There is nothing like it,

Egg. of Cros.bred Ducks.

According to q recent work by [
Loisel, domestic ducks eggs weig
on an average of seventy grammes ano
contains on an average nine grammes
shell, twenty four grammes or twenty
one &C. yolk. and thirty-seven grammes
white, this quantity of yolk being
made up of thirteen grammes water
seven grammes fat and four grammes
protein, and the white 31.3 grammes
water and 5.6S grammes protein. The
eggs laid by domestic duck crossed
with a wild duck weighed on an aver
age 600 grammes and contained 7.26
grammes shell, 299 gramnes white,
and 22.76 grammes yolk, made up of
1918 grammes water and 12.61
grammes dry matter. The author con-
cludes that the eggs of the cross-bred
ducks, though smaller, are superior to
domestic ducks eggs from food stand
point, since they contain more dry
matter, and that crossing with the wild
form is advantageous for continuing
the desirable characteristics of domes-
tic ducks.

Cider-making offers a good opportu
nifty of saving the surplus apples from
the home fruit garden, after the best
have been put into the cellar for win
ter use, thus making valuable apples
that otherwise would be thrown away.
A bruise which would render an apple
unfit for storage does not impair it as
source of cider.
The best cider is not made from
sweet apples, or from appts that have
little juice. such as Ben Davis, but
from good. juicy. sour kirds, such as
Northern Spy. Baldwin and the like.
1t is often advisable to mix a few sweet
apples in with the sour ones to soften
the taste of the cider, but this is a mat
ter Of taste.
If good specimens of the Northern
Spy are used, the cider will prove an
expensive luxury. Therefore, any un-
dersized apples and any that become
bruised In handling may be used.
For the man who intends making
only a small amount Of cider each year
enough for consumption In his own
household during the winter--a mill
worked by hand and pressing the po-
mace Of only two or three bushels Of
apples is the most practical. A mill of
this sort will cost anywhere from $40
up, according to the size.

FARMING WITH LESS RAIN.
Finely PuIverized Surface Enable
Soil TO Store Up Moisture.

Finely Puiverized Surface Enables
Soil TO Store Up Moisture.
We are just beginning to learn that
IL the soil is cultivated carefully ard
intensively it can be made to hold wa
ter within itself and carry a storage
reservoir underneath the growing crop.
Finely pulverizing and packing the
seed bed makes it capable of retaining
the greatest possible percentage Of the
moisture that falls, just as a fine
sponge of certein size will hold many
times as much water as a coarse
sponge of the same size or as a tumbler
full of birdshot will retain many times
the amount of water that a tumbler
full of buckshot will. 1t is q we'll
known fact that water moves in the
soil as it does in a lamp wick, by capil-
larry attraction.
The more deeply and the more densely
the soil bed is saturated with moisture
the more easily the water moves up
ward in the soil, just as the oil
climbs up" wet wick faster that ii
does a dry one.
The problem of evaporation is the
mightiest one before the agriculturist
of the semi-arid west. Even if the same
amount Of rain fell in Eastern Colo
RADIO as falls in Iowa, it does not fol.
low that as much moisture would be
available for plant life in the former
as in the latter state. Eastern Colo
RADIO is a mile above the sea and has q
slear atmosphere and intense sunshine.
Its atmosphere is, therefore, very dry
and quickly drinks up the moisture
| from the soil unless We take measures
to prevent it. This We do by means
Of a soil blanket called mulch"
This finely pulverized surface serves
two-fold purpose-it prevents the
moisture from below, In large meas
ure, from evaporating, and at the same
time keeps the surface in such condi
ton that 1t readily absorbs whatever
sudden showers may fall.
One can illustrate the effecs OF this
| fine soil mulch" so far as preventing
evaporation is concerned, by placing
some powdered sugar on the surface OF
a lump of loaf sugar and holding the
latter in tumbler of water. He will
observe that the powdered sugar will
remain dry even when the lump has be-
come so thoroughly saturated that II

Raising Bees.

1t may be safely said that any place
where farming, gardening or fruit rails
ing can be successfully followed is
adapted to the profitable keeping of
bees-in a limited way at least, If not
extensively. Many of these localities
will support extensive apiaries. In ad.
dition to this there are, within the Dor.
ders of the United States thousands of
good locations for the apiarist-forest,
prairie swamps and mountain regions
where agriculture has as yet not gained
foothold, either because of remote
ness from markets or the uninviting
character of soil or climate.
This pursuit may also be followed
i'm or near towns, and to limited ex.
tent in large cities. The ability of the
bees to range over areas inaccessible
to o.Eer farm stock, and to draw their
sustenance from denSe forests. when
the timber is Of the right kind, and the
freedom which, because Of their nature
must be accorded them, TO pasture or
whatever natural sources are within
their range Of three or four miles, must
be taken into account in estimating the
possibilities of a locality.
1t will be found that very few local,
tiles exist in our country where al
least few colonies of bees may not be

A CUP OF TEA.


Buying cup of tea may be trag
edy or comedy. Much depends Oh
the sex of the buyer. This is the way
a man buys II, says writer In the
London Sketch. He slides sheepishly
into the shop, takes the seat in the
draft of the door that everybody else
has avoided, and says to the waitress
with diffident smile:
"Oh, would you bring me a cup OF

The waitress who returns the smile
DR. does not return II, according to the
rule OF the establishment in regard tc
tipping, brings him his tea, slams II
down, scribbles out a check and sails
away.
The man tastes the tea, finds that II
is bitter from long brewing, slips out
of his seat, pays the bill and hurries
away from the shop.
