Curing P~erSimmOns.

From a report recently prepared by
David G. Fairchild, an explorer OF the
Department of Agriculture, it appears
that persimmons as they are eaten
in Japan are as firm in texture as a
Northern Spy apple, free from as
tringency, and of a delicious flavor.
They are not allowed to ripen to the
squashy consistency of the fruit as it
is eaten in America. Investigations
as to Japanese methods of curing per-
simmons show that the Japanese put
the persimmons in sake Japanese

emptied. The heads of these casks
are Immediately replaced and the pack
age made air-tight. In from 5 to Is
days, according to weather conditions,
the persimmons are cured and can be
removed and marketed, keeping in a
firm, edible condition for a leng period.

Pocket gophers would be most for
midable animals were they enlarged
to the size of the prehistoric dinosaur.
Their teeth are huge in proportion to
their heads and their bifurcated front
claws are strong, sharp as eagle talons
and extraordinarily long. The gopher
however is a little animal; yet because
OF his abundance and exceeding in
dustry, he becomes more than a nuis-
ance-a enac in fact-to many farm
Ing communities.
Pocket gophers infest all the States
and Territories west of the Mississippi,
and parts of Illinois, Wisconsin, Flor
Ida, Georgia, and the greater part of
Mexico. All the species live under
ground in ramifying tunnels, and all
bring to the surface quantities of earth,
which is heaped up in the shape of
mounds. The habits of these animals
are everywhere much the same.
Throughout their range pocket goph-
ers are very destructive to crops, much
more SO than moles. They eat the roots
of fruit trees and in this way some
times ruin whole orchards. They eat
both root and tops of clover, alfalfa,
grasses, grains, and vegetables, and are
especially harmful to potatoes and
other tuberous crops. In addition to
all this. they throw up innumerable
mounds of earth in meadows, pastures
and grain fields, which cover and de
stroy far more of the crop than is
either eaten by the animals or KILLED

Fooled by CIeveIand's Double.

A large man with an impassive face
and bearing a striking resemblance to
an ex-president of the United States
walked into the Great Northern Hotel,
Chicago. Tuesday evening and regis
tered as follows on the hotel book:
Grover Cleveland, Princeton, N. j.
Two or three bell boys fell over
n another in an endeavor to pick up
the guests baggage and the clerk
smiled Hospitality and searched for his
best room. This was a luxurious apart
ment with a double bath. The guest
accepted 1t, took his key, and then,
turning to the register scratched of
his signature and wrote:
"F. L. MacElroy. Lafayette, Ind"
"Just a bet" he explained to the
astonished clerk. Il manage to double
my salary this way. l have tried it
successfully on every hotel from New
York to San Francisco. I'm a travel
ling man."
Mr.. MacElroy secured a more modest
apartment, after which he went out to
collect his bet.

Telephones in The Forests.

The usefulness of the telephone be-
comes more and more apparent as its
territory of operation is extended into
remote of the globe. Nowadays,
the traveller in the heavily wooded sec
tons of the north country is amazed
when he sees how the march of pro.
gress has extended in the shape OF
telephones in the forest.
Useful as the telephone is in the city,
where the steps it saves could some.
times be compensated for by the use
of the automobile, the electric IA or
the fast express, it is far more useful
in the forest, where are none of these
conveniences, and where the canoe or
bateau Is the common vehicle of travel.
In logging operations the telephone
now plays a most important part. The
dams along the river are built not only
to hold water against a time of drought
but also to control the flood, SO that
the river flow may be properly regu-
lated. To this end a considerable crew
of men is kept at the dams all the time,
to open or close the gates on short
notice. Before the telephones zane
into use, instructions to the dam crew
were conveyed up or down the river by
relays of men, stationed at frequent In
tervals along the banks, and the mes
sage was shouted from one to another.
The telephone lines are being ex-
tended every year, and it will not be
long before telephones are almost as
common in the woods as they are in
the city. Recently the telephone has
been called into use to aid the wood
wardenS in fire fighting in the northern
and western forests.

or the soil dry, the gases are dissipated
SO rapidly that a large quantity of the
liquid is required to kill the animals
and the method becomes too expensive.
If, however, the burrows are simple and
and the soil moist, bisulphid may be
used successfully. For pocket gophers
an ounce of the liquid for each burrow
is sufficient. The carbon b~isulphid is
poured oyer a bunch of cotton, rags, or
other waste material and this quickly
pushed into the burrow, which should
be closed at once.
Cooperation Necessary.
Any farmer may readily rid his prem
ises of gophers by the use of poison or
traps. Unless, however, the entire
community unites in active and intelli-
gent cooperation on the destruction of
the animals, the cleared area will be
N or later invaded from neighbor-
ing premises, and the work of destruc-
ton must be repeated. Cooperation
only will effect a radical cure. When

Strong Light Injurious TO Plants.

Strong light has been found in some
instances to hinder the growth of pol
len tubes of plants. This is thought
to be the reason why tomatoes and
cucumbers do not bear fruit in mid
summer in Arizona. Strong direct sun
light in summer also prevents the
plant leaves from assuming the usual
green color. Thus, strawberry plants
in Arizona are yellow for about three
months in summer ever when grown
under shade of cheese cloth. When
grown on the north side of a dense
shade of sorghum or cotton the plants
remain green and dense all summer
and are probably the most vigorous
in the garden.

we'll sweep were used and the water
taken from the surface, no disagree
able features were noted. 1t was found
upon examination that the sink drain
which had been in use for generations
passed close to the well and a large
part of the drainage emptied into it.
This organic matter settled to the bot
tom of the we'll and became putrid,
Whenever the pump IA used the
v alter containing this foul matter was
drawn from the lower part of the well,
while that obtained from the top by
means of the well sweep vas above the
contamination and did not give evil
dence of disagreeable odor or taste,
although it contained in solution a
large amount of filthy matter. The de-
plorable feature of this situation is
that 1t requires in the majority of
cases only the exercise of common
sense in the selection Of a point at
which a safe we'll may be sunk.
The accompanying illustrations
show safe and unsafe we'll locations.
That showing the improper location is

FORCED AND UNFORCED RHUBARB

When thus grown in darkness the
leaf blade is greatly reduced, the
green color is wholly absent, the tex
ture is more crisp and delicate, due
to a lessened development Of woody
fiber, the skin is much thinner than
when grown in light, the water con-
tent is increased 6 to 10 per cent,
and the flavor is generally improved.
Rhubarb thus grown commands a
fancy price.

Forcing Rhubarb.

Experiments have shown that the
most satisfactory results in cultivating
rhubarb, are attained by growing the
roots from seed and forcing when the
plants are one year old. Drying the
roots has been found to have the same
effect as freezing. Either drying or
freezing serves the same purpose as a
long rest, which is otherwise required,
and the product is more vigorous.

cooperative efforts for the extermina-

are attempted, careful attention must
be given to waste lands along fences,
streams, public highways, and rail-

of the animals, because in them are
found loose, sandy soil, moisture, and
succulent roots for food. 1t is from
such resorts that adjoining farms are
often restocked with pocket gophers.

Farmers Swear by Their Wells.

1t is commonly obs that nearly
every farmer believes in the purity
of his well water, especially if the
we'll has been in use for generations.
The fact that his grandfather believed
the water to be pure is sufficient evil
dence for him to defend the well, ever
though his family be devastated by
typhoid fever. 1t is sometimes the
case that a we'll is used even after its
taste and odor ought to be sufficient to
demonstrate that it is polluted. A
notable instance occurred not long
since, in which a certain farmer could
not use the water from his we'll if it
were drawn up by a pump, but if a
