TREE HOUSES OF THE PApuANs
Cool and Clean, But Not Built for
Somnambulists.

The famous tree houses of Papua
are rapidly disappearing before the
march of civilization and settlement
in the colony.
The tree house-a neat and well
built habitation, placed at an enor-
nous height among the branches Of a
forest tree and reached only by a
swinging ladder-was primarily in
tended as a refuge from enemies. Now,
however, that the government has
brought the wild tribes under control
the native prefers to live in house
that demands less skill in construc.
ton.
There are still many tree houses to
be seen, though few or none are be-
ing built. In the northeastern district
OF Papua (where much valuable sugar,
rubber and cocoanut land lies ready
for taking up) the government officials
on their regular tours Of inspection
often sleep at night in the house of
some hospitable native village con.
stable, who draws his ladder up at
shutdown to doorstep so feet high in
the air.
These tree houses are exceedingly
cool, clean and picturesque. with the
roofs of native made thatch and walls
and floors of waited boughs.

BIG SWEET POTATO YIELD.
Texas Farmer Produces 225 Bushels
on One Acre of Land.

on One acre OF Land.
Two hundred and twenty-five bush
els of sweet potatoes to the acre is the
yield produced on the little farm Of
S. G. Maddox in the southeast suburbs
of Weatherford. Tex, says the New
York Herald.
From less than one-fifth acre Mr.
Maddox dug forty-five full-measured
bushels and the potatoes are as fine
and smooth as one ever saw. They
are of the bunch yam variety, not the
regular old pumpkin yam. but of a
lighter and brighter color. and grow
long and smooth
Out of one hill Mr.. Maddox took six
teen potatoes, the average weight OF
each being little more than half a
pound; out of another hill he took
seven potatoes, the combined weight
of which W fifteen and one.thfrd
pounds.
Mr. Maddox does not lay claim to
be farmer. This is the first crop Of
potatoes he ever tried to raise and Is.
of course, proud of the success of his
first effort.
Another part of his crop of which
Mr.. Maddox is proud is his cotton.
Out of 1896 pounds of lint cotton ne
ginned bale that weighed 525 pounds
and out of 1.416 pounds of lint cotton
he got a bale that weighed $40 pounds.
While Mr.. Maddox was telling of
this cotton to party of friends anoth-
er cotton grower remarked that he
had some cotton on his place that
would equal it, if not beat it. He was
j. NJ Phillips, whose farm is two and
a half miles east of the town. He
showed sample of cotton, of very
fine grade, which had just been ginned
and which gave him a 490-pound bale
out of 1910 pounds of seed cotton.
Mr.. Phillips states that he has eight
acres of this cotton and that ne will
get twelve bales from it, that in some
places it will produce as much as two
bales to the acre and that the land
was ovenfowed half-dozen times last
spring.
