World Renowned Potato.

The experiments began and soon de-
veloped the now world renowned Bur
bank potato, from which millions have
been made and which has given cheap
or and better potatoes to the world.
Yet he sold 1t to a local scotsman for
$3.50.
That was his start, and he was not
yet twenty years Of age. Then sun
stroke made partial invalid of him.
and all his life seemed to be changed.
For his health he was shipped off to
California, and here he had battles and
struggles that would have daunted and
discouraged any but the most deter
mined and sincere.
To most people Burbank appears shy
and reserved, almost to diffidence and
timidity. He is shrinking in sense,
but let questions be put to him about
his work or his thought, and his an
swers are as clear, sharp and decisive
as those Of any man l ever knew
There is no aggressiveness or self as
sertiveness, but definiteness and clar-
ity that show he has thought long and
deeply and come to all his conclusions
for himself, yet lie has the spirit Of
boy.

Mr.. Burbank has been called wiz

There Is no wizardry in his achieve

heavy leayed desert plant, SO covered
With fierce thorns that even to stand
near 1t makes one squirm, and then to
follow step by step where in different
sections he shows the cactus slowly
losing its thorns until you stand before
group into which he suddenly dives
headlong, taking the great leaves and
rubbing his face and hands against

1t is even more pleasing and equally
surprising to sit at his table and have
served to you the fruit Of this same
cactus, the prickly pear of the Indian,

changed from the tasteless, ibrous,
seedy fruit to a richly favored, juicy,
delicious table luxury

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inf1amed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rlnhbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's nor
NAL condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh. which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces

MANY Seeds For One Experiment,

Ten thousand seeds required for this
one experiment? Yes. and often the
10000 become $4,000 or 100000 or
100000 before he gets what he wants.
1t is this large dealing that has diff
ferentiated Mr.. Burbank's plans from
those Of other men.
He speedily learned that great re-
suits are not to be obtained from in
adequate methods. The 10000 daisy
seeds We're only n starter. Millions
and millions Of daisies were grown
from these seeds, and it was only after
the experiments We're completed and
the habits Of the Shasta permanently
fixed that the experimental plants were
destroyed.
In vegetables he has produced equal
ly wonderful results. AS elsewhere re-
lated. the potato that bears his name
was his first achievement. Tomatoes,
forage plants, sugar beets have felt
his magic touch to the great enrich
ment of the world.
In fruits his labors are startling.
He has made a giant plum, rich and
delicious In flavor, juicy, hardy, a pro-
life bearer and the largest known.
His prune is full Of sugar, larger, ear
lier and more productive than the best
Of the old varieties. He welded the
plum and the apricot and has given to
the world the plumcot, which COM
bines the hardness Of the plum with
the rich deliciousness Of the apricot.

Pineapple Favored Ounce.

The same process has given us a
ounce with the flavor Of the pineapple,
thus increasing the fruit value of the
former. He is working on the black
berry, and we shall ultimately receive
at his hands large, rich, luscious
berry two or three inches In length, al
most seedless, with thornless bushes
and favor rich and delicate.
On his proving grounds experiments
by the hundreds Of thousands are go
ing on all the time, some Of them not
completed, though they were begun
twenty and even thirty years ago.
Luther Burbank's early life in Cali
fornia was attended by many hard ex-
periences. He was very poor and was
obliged to take any work that came to
hand. He cleaned out chicken coops,
helped in market gardens, got an odd
Job here aud another there, passed
through very severe Illness. went on
the tramp for work, until finally he
was able to start little nursery on his
own account. Then all at once he did
something that made those who knew
about it look at him. An order came
for 10000 young prune trees. Could
he fill it in nine months?
Fine Prune Orchard.
He hadn't prune tree on his place,
and how was he going to supply 10000
in nine months? He got together all
the men and boys he could find to
plant almonds for him. They grow
rapidly. When they were ready he
had 10000 prune buds ready for them,
and in short time the prunes We're
budded into the growing almonds, and
before the time was up the trees We're
delivered to the delighted ranchman.
And | have seen these 10000 prune
trees They are growing today, and it
is really one Of the finest orchards in
California.
Before he disposed Of his business
his returns were $4,000 year. Then
he sold out. What for? To rest? To
take a holiday trip? No. Now he was
ready to give his whole life to the ex-
periments he had been dreaming Of
for years.

tory that the dreamer and experiment |

BEGINNING Of His Labors.

A little history of the very begin
ming Of Mr. Burbank's labors is sure
to be interesting to those who like to
know how the primary idea of great
achievements was born. He was but
a mere lad in New England when the
first thoughts of plant development
and improvement came to him. He
saw that all the apples on the same
tree were not exactly the same In size,
color, shape, juiciness, flavor or fiber.
He gathered from one rosebush
roses that, while Of the same species,
were larger, smaller, redder, paler in
tint, more fragrant, less fragrant than
others on the same bush. Potatoes In
the same hill were Of differing sizes
and quality and flavor, and so on.
This led him to the conclusion that
IL by selection or cross fertilization
these better fruits or flowers could be
stimulated the whole product would be
improved.
While these thoughts were bubbling
and was growing potatoes, and he saw
that out Of batch of potatoes In his
field there was but one which bore a
seed ball. He decided to experiment
with the seeds.
When he came to pick the ball it was
gone. In despair he was about to go
away and give up when he decided to
make q search for It, Soon, to his de-
light, he found it where doubtless some
wandering dog had knocked it as he
rushed thrcagh the garden.
