the messages which they we're now

There was all the more fear OF the

their own instruments carried we'll 20

even expressed regret that he might
not stay for weeks, months or years,

President Taft's entry into this

presidential party through the streets
of the city to Fort Douglas, the en-

At Fort Douglas the president was
received by Colonel Walter Scott,
commander of the military reserva'

SANDY LOAN REGARDED
AS BEST FOR CELERY
Vegetable Has Become Cultivation Is De-
Hcious PaIatabIe-Transp1aned in
Time.

Celery, which in its native state is a
hardy biennial, has been so improved
by cultivation that it has become
delicious and palatable vegetable.
While it may be grown on any we'll
drained, fertile soil, sandy loan will
give best results for the following rea-
sons: First, the quality of celery is
superior to that grown on any other
type of soil; second, the texture of
the celery is firmer than that grown
on muck soils, and therefore the ship
ping quality is better; third, when
celery is grown on either clay or
muck soil, neither of which dries out
readily after rain, the land is too fire.
quently injured by harvesting while
the soil is wet. Celery that is grown
on a sandy soil can be harvested sew
eral days earlier after a wet season
than that grown on clay or muck
soil. This is an Important point when
one considers how much it might
mean to the grower to have his crop
delayed a few days in reaching the
market and how seriously he might
injure his soil by harvesting while the
land is too wet. While rhis applies
to any method of growing celery, 1t is
especially true when the celery Is
blanched by banking with soil.
Celery is transplanted to the field
during the summer months, when it
is very hot and the soil usually dry.

plants as they are set out, but even

The brush-eating instinct of the An.

in California. where they are cutting
trails for fire guards through the
brushy areas on the slopes of the
mountains.
The animals, which number $1,000
have been divided into two bands, and
under the care of the herders are
grazed within certain well-defined
areas SO that their work may be con-
centrated on the brush within those
limits. The result is that they. have
practically killed nearly all the brush
in the course either by eating 1t UP
entirely, or by barking, as in the case
of the heavy manzanita bushes. At
the beginning of the experiment there
was some doubt as to the goats will

has been found that where there 10
little else they will just as readily at

year on the Lassen forest that the
goats did not begin operations until
about the middle of June, but since
then they have made rapid progress

trails will first be opened and then

have been wasted will support 5000
goats very comfortably.

II is a common custom for the land

Wolf River Apples.

The Wolf River apple was originated
by Mr.. Springer of Fremont, Wis.
The trees remain remarkably free
from disease and the ravages of in
sects. Severe cold does not affect
them in the least and they grow with

The apples grow large, measuring
on an average about twelve inches in
circumference. They are Of a beau
tiful red color, which makes them sell
readily.
