DO TREES INCREASE RAINFALL7
Prof. Thomas Shaw Thinks Further
Data Is Needed Before Deciding.

The opinion is very prevalent that
the relation Is close between the pres
ence or absence of trees and rainfall.
1t may be that such is the fact. but
the evidence is not so clear on the
whole on this question as could be de-
sired. Take, for Instance, the story
told by the weather records kept at
Bismarck, n. ID. For the ten years
commencing with and including 1875,
the annual precipitation was six inches
more than it was during the ten years
following. During the first period
almost none of the soil had been
broken up. During the second period,
quite proportion had been broken
up. The trees in the locality were
about the same as during the first
period. During the third period the
trees had increased through the plant
ing of groves and yet the average in
crease in the rainfall was only six
inches.
During the first period referred to,
the lakes in the Dakotas were filled
to overflowing. The water in DEVILS
lake at that time came up to the site
of the present town. The water in the
lake bed is now at least five miles
from the town. Is it not easily sup
possible that period may come again
when the rainfall will again be as
great as it was in the ten-year period
commencing with 1875. If this were
to happen, doubtless DEVILS lake
would fill its banks again.
The same line of reasoning may be
applied to Minnesota. In 1894 and
one or two of the years following,
the weather was so dry that many of
the shallow lakes went dry. On every
hand the statements were made that
dry seasons had came because the
Minnesota forests were being cut
away. But what happened? During
seasons following these lakes refilled.
The present season the greatest flood
took place in the Minnesota and Mis-
sissippi rivers that has occurred for
many day. 1t is well to look for
further data with reference to the re-
lation between forests and rainfall.

ABOUT ORCHARD TREATMENT.
Which is Best-cIean Culture or Sod
Culture?

There is considerable interest in
the minds Of fruit growers about the
question regarding the comparative
value of the two systems of orchard
treatment, clean culture and sod cul
ture. Some very careful experiments
under the supervision of the state sta
tions, especially in Ohio and New
York, have been conducted. And there
are some practical fruit growers CIV
ing these plans the test Of actual
trial in business way. So far there
have been some rather conclusive re-
suits that others would do well to OBJ
serve.
One of these is that on steep land
it is very hazardous and often very
wasteful of the fertility of the soil to
practice clean culture. The waste by
wash is too great. In such cases there
can and should be some method of
culture used that will prevent the soil
waste, and only strips should be cul-
tivated at most. These can be al

perpendicular, and the other three

Review says that the weight of the
soil and plants holds the side rails so
firmly that an ordinary man has not
strength enough to pull one Of the

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

/. There are ISIS members in the
Wisconsin Horticultural society-the
largest. we believe, in the country
1t cannot be said that the Japan
plums are rushing many fruit growers
into great profit.
1t is fact that trees along high
ways, trees in towns and cities and
trees in groves amid agricultural re-
gions render the atmosphere purer.
They by their foliage absorb hurtful
gases, which would otherwise be
breathed by the Inhabitants of the
densely populated cities, thereby mod
flying diseases, lessening the dangers
of epidemics and in many ways i'm
proving the healthfulness of communi-
ties.-New York Farmer.
The time for the production of ashes
is at hand. Now the wood ashes
should not be thrown out in the back
yard, the middle of the street, or any
place. just to get rid of them. Un-
leached wood ashes makes an excel
lent fertilizer for blooming fruit trees,
and should be preserved for this pur-
pose. Keep them under cover, in a
safe place where there can be no dan
ger from fire, and next spring there
will be plenty of valuable fertilizing
material to harrow in under the fruit
trees.-Vick's Magazine.

ternated so as to have the soil loose
from tillage between rows running
parallel with the slope, and in the
rows a grass mulch, declares Prof.
Van Deman, in Orange Judd Farmer
By this mean that the grass, weeds.
etc, be moved and forked under the
branches of the trees to serve as a
mulch. By growing cowpeas in the In
terspaces and letting the crop rot on
the ground, or pasturing it down by
hogs much fertility (nitrogen) may
be added to the soil at almost no ex-
pense. If potash in the form of muri-
ate or sulphate, and phosphorus in
some of the preparations of bone or
rock phosphate, are applied literally,
there should be no difficulty in keep
ing the soil rich.

Winterina the Cow.

Cows that are to freshen in spring
can be wintered without much grain.
Give them one foddering of good hay
each day. This they had better have
in the morning. The feed at noon
may be silage or second quality hay,
and generous amount of mixed hay

Prof. Dyche Says There Is No Cause
to Doubt Either Cook or PearY

Lawrence, Kan. Sept. THE an
nouncement that Peary has discover I'd
the North Pole should be given the
same credence exactly as the story Of
Dyche of the University Of Kansas to-
day
There is no possible doubt of either
story. Both Cook and Peary are hon =
orable men and you can depend upon
the word of either Then 1t is not sur
prising that one discovery should fol-
low so closely upon the other. With
the continued expeditions to the north
it became but the question Of time
until some explorer would meet with
unusually favorable to have admitted
of discoveries.
There can be no doubt that both
men have succeed in their quests.
cause Peary did not find Cooks bottle,
the latter'S story is untrue Such state
ments are absurd. Anybody who has
been in the north knows that the ice
mile a day and the tube, if not lost,
might be hundreds of miles away from
the pole by this time
Professor Dyche enjoys the distinc-
ton of having been on exploring ex-
petitions with both the men who have
reached the pole, and speaks from
close personal acquaintance with them.
He says that of the two. Cook seemed
to him to be the more forceful, being
a. quiet man who would complete his
plans without any display or sensa-
tionalism, and then would put them
into effect with the force of a steam
engine.
Professor Dyche's expedition with Dr.
Cook was made in 1894. In that year
they penetrated far up the Greenland
coast, but the vessel was twice caught
in the ice and so badly injured that all
on board had to land. Each time re-
pairs vert made sufficient to make
the vessel safe and they would push
on. But on the way home the vessel
became unseaworthy and Dr. Cook and
his party came home on a fishing YES
sell The unfortunate accidents of that
expedition prevented any extensive ex-
rloratfon schemes being carried out.
Professor Dyche's acquaintance with
the American museum of natural his
tory at New York to make a collection
of wild game of the far north and to
find Lieutenant Peary's party which
was returning from the dash of the
previous year. Dyche was fortunate
enough to find Peary and to make an
immense catch of game. He was given
half of the specimens he brought back
and these now form the chief part of
the great natural history collection
which is housed in the University of
Kansas museum.
The failure of Peary's earlier dashes
was due to a certain extent, Professor
Dyche says, to the fact that the ex-
plorer took too direct a route to the
pole. The drift of the ice constantly
threw him from his course and it took
many wears and many failures to learn
how to allow for the ice drift Dr.
Cook took a more westerly route and
was able, as is shown by the time his ex-
petition took, to gauge his travel so as

mander Robert E. Peary, who has an
nounced that he discovered the North
pole on April of the present year,
found no trace of DR.. Frederick A
Cook, who reported to the world five
days ago that he had made the same
discovery in April of the preceding
year. This news reached here through
Captain Robert Bartlett of the Roose-
welt. Peary's ship, en- route to Cheteau
Bay, Labrador.
Captain Bartlett telegraphed to
relatives here that Peary had found
nothing to indicate that Cook had
reached the pole. While Peary does
not expressly repudiate DR.. Cooks
contention in so many words, his
statement may have an important
bearing upon determining the extent
of DR.. Cooks exploration.
The Roosevelt was in good condition
and the crew all right, wired Captain
Bartlett in addition, and he reported
that the schooner Jeanne, carrying
supplies for the expedition, had met
them off the coast of Greenland.
Coming south. the Roosevelt passed
Etaband, Upernavik, Greenland, where
DR.. Cook had preceded Peary.
The Roosevelt was bound for Cha

patry on board. Chateau Bay lies

Mr.. Bridgman. who was perhaps more
familiar with Peary's plans than any
one man, said that after dividing his
party into three groups, one to make
geological observations another to take
meteorological ontatiops and third to
establish bases of supplies, he probably
selected five or six of his best men with
so to 100 of the best dogs and made the
dash for the pole. In the party that
accompanied Peary to the POLE Mr..
Bridgman believes were the following:
Captain Robert Bartlett, commander of
the Roosevelt, and a master of ice con-

Edwin G. Marvin of Eimire, N. Y;
George Borup. son of Lieutenant Col

BELONGS TO AMERICA.
Honor of Discovering the Pole Is Con-
coded by ShackIeton.

London, Sept. 1.-THE honor of
planting the national flag at the
North pole undoubtedly belongs to
America" Lieutenant E. H. Shackle-
ton, the English explorer, said today.
THE news within week" he con-
tinued, that two men have reached
the pole is an extraordinary coinci-
dence. We all expected to hear of
Commander Peary's arrival sometime
during the month, and we sincerely
hoped that the hope of his years of
effort and struggle would be crowned
with success.
''Peary undoubtedly got to the pole;
between him and DR.. Cook the pole
certainly has been reached. It is said
that Peary reached the goal April 6,

However. the polar wander-lust
again gripped him, and his work was
continued.
With no hint of his plans for the
future, some of Peary's friends, new
ertheless, believe he will soon pine for
new worlds to conquer, and that a
south pole expedition may be antici-
pated. In fact, it was announced more
than a year ago that Peary had plan
ned a national American expedition
for the exploration of the south polar
regions. Those who know him best
would not be surprised to see him
start southwark, with the same de-
termination and promise of success as
attended him in the north.
In the intervals between expedi-
lions Commander Peary has lectured
frequently, and has also written sew
eral books of scientific and geographi-
cal value.
