Importance Of this fact becomes ap-
parent when an effort is made to stop

heart, the arteries convey It in the op-
posite direction, so when vein is sew

Sometimes, in the case Of an exten.

be severed. and then pressure ought to
be applied both above and below the
wound. More than one man has bled
to death with crowd looking on sim.
ply because none Of the bystanders

NEW PRODUCTS OF FARM.
Profitable Use for Much That Has

While nearly every product of the
farm can be and Is distilled for spe.
cial purposes, the French farmer Is
chiefly interested in the utilization of
the residue resulting from wine and
cider manufacture, and In the south of
lowers and aromatic plants. 1t Is
Yuite a common occurrence In the
Alps to pass farm houses where the
crops having been gathered the farm.
er and his sons are forking fragrant
lavender. like so much hay, into a
huge caldron from which 1t will issue
In the form of essence.
All Of these distilling processes are
within the easy grasp of men OF or
binary Intelligence, and offer new
sources of revenue to the farmer, par.
ticularly In the fruit-growing regions,
where thousands of bushels of wine
and cider residue are returned to the
soil or burned and where inferior APP
pies are at times not even gathered
for lack of remunerative market. IL
American manufacturers will provide
frst-class stills of moderate price, and
encourage farmers to make use of
them, the latter will have new rainy.
day occupation that Is both interesting
and moderately profitable.

AN AGED BRITISH TREE.
Cowthorpe Oak, Reputed 500 rAArs
Old, FIourishing In Yorkshire.

One of the Oldest of British trees 10
the Cowthorpe oak. which has been
standing near Wetherby in Yori- hire
for 500 years, according to veracious
chronicle. 1t is a tree that has been
described often and has figured In
works of fiction
1t Is related of this tree that on &C.
casion as many as forty persons
have been gathered within the hol-
low Of its trunk, although 1t must be
confessed that some of these we're
children. The most recent measure
ment showed that it's girth of trunk
at the ground was 81 feet inches
and the cavity was IL feet BY 8 feet.
The tree Is not now So very tall,
reaching only 81 feet into the air.
There are twenty-five props about the
tree to support the falling branches.
The cavity has been noticeable only
Aince the beginning of the nineteenth
century. Many Of the earlier meas
urements show that the tree once
was much greater in girth than now.
Aged as it is the tree bore acorns
in 1901 and 1905 and always produces
q fair amount of foliage. In 1898 an
acorn borne By the Cowthorpe oak
was planted near by and tree is
growing up slowly as memorial to
the parent.
