Care of Lamns.

The bowl of the lamp should be kept full of oil, but when not in use the wick should be turned low to keep the oil from oozing out on the burner.

some time of a great many local agents

of lading was, provided shipper or con-
signee furnished an indemnity bond.
Numerous cases have arisen in the
past which have proved of consider

Grapes and Frost

In reply to an inquiry from an Ameri
can grape and fruit grower who had
lost during the present year very
heavily in young fruit trees and grape
vines from frost. Consul ID. 1. Murphy
of Bordeaux furnishes the following
information concerning French pro-
cess of producing artificial clouds for
the protection of vineyards.
The process. the invention of Edouard
Lestout of Bordeaux. consists in filing
small wooden boxes, open at top, with
an infiammable composition consisting
of a mixture of equal parts of reSinous
with earthly matters (clay, terra alba,
and the like) reduced to q fine powder
and pressed into a compact mass. In
the center a wick extends through the
compound and serves to kindle 1T. The
wick, however, may be dispensed with
and the composition ignited by pouring
few drops of alcohol, petroleum or
applying match. These boxes, about
eight inches long by six wide, made of
pine wood ordinarily, are placed in
line about 80 feet apart around certain
areas, say of so acres.
So far as grapevines are concerned,
the most dangerous period OF the year
is in April. when the young shoots are
showing some vigor and the juices
running freely. Then slight frost
may mean disaster unless the plants
are protected In some way. There is
Dul lllle danger Wnen a QdTk OF COluQy
morning follows a cold night. The
trouble comes when the first rays of
the morning sun strike the almost
frozen and unprotected plant. Rapid
disorganiZation is sure to follow, cases
being known here where entire vine
yards have been so destroyed. BY the
Lestout process a dense cloud of smoke
is produced, hanging over the vineyard
long enough to protect the plants from
the SUMS rays and give them a change
to recuperate from the dangerous ef-
fects of the frost.
The composition in the boxes to wind
ward only is ignited, the thick, black.
heavy smoke hanging over the field
forming a shield against the suns rays.
If it is desired to extinguish the fires
1T is only necessary to have an open
box trifie larger than the others. by
means of which the flames are quickly
smothered. 1t is Gained that the pro-
lection of 80 acres by this method of
producing smudges can be achieved at
an expenditure of 81.
The inventor declares also that his
process may be used for masking the
movements of an army. hiding the erec-
tion of fieldworks. etc; also as a rain
producer, and even for driving off
grasshopperS and locusts.
The process has shown merit
In the protection of vineyards, and it,
or something similar might be used
with advantage by American fruit vine
growers and horticulturists.

Answers TO Queries

TIMBER LINE-A. S.. Oakland, Cal.
What is the average height of the tim
ber line in the United States?
This was submitted to State Forester
G. B. Luce. who furnished the follow
ing reply: The question is very diff
cult one to answer. For instance, in
northern California the line ranges in
elevation from 5000 to 5000 feet. Near
Lake Tahoe the line is about 5000 feet.
AT Mount Whitney about 13 900 feet. 1t
VIII occur to you at once that latitude
and climatic conditions have consid-
erable to do with the timber line. On
this account 1t is impossible to give
the average height or the line in the
United States without ascertaining the
height of the line In each principal
mountain range, and from that data,
striking an average, which. after all,
would have absolutely no meaning.
The exact elevation in each locality is
the only thing of Importance and that
is governed by the latitude and cli-
matte conditions of the particular
locality. These are so potent that they
may change the position of the line
from 1000 to 1000 feet, as we have
seen in the case of California
NATIONAL FORESTS City. Is
any one permitted to hunt and fish in
the national forests of the United
States?
G. B. Luce, state forester, says:
ANY one is permitted to hunt or fish
in the national forests If he complies
with the regulations regarding fires,
camping, etc.
