Wonderful New Zealand.


New Zealand's death rate is the lowest
in the world. Her wealth. per capita, is
the greatest in the world. Her wheat
yield comes up to 90 bushels to the acre.
and oats UP to 80 bushels. She has ex-
ported over $3.50, 000. 900 worth OF gold.
Her manufactures have reached an an
nual output above Sis. 900. She has
four million horsepower readily available
for generating electricity in natural
water power. She has four cities OF
from sixty to eighty thousand each. and
a lot Of substantial provincial towns.
Parenthetically, the cities are already
beautiful garden cities, with parks and
parkways. public buildings and private
residences to teach older worlds valuable
lessons. In the year ending with March,
1907. her exports amounted to 100000. 000
Agricultural and pastoral products took
the lead-S75 600. 900; gold, coal and other
minerals, $4,000. 600: manufactures, S.
OO0. 900: timber and forest products. ST.
100000: fisheries. etc. filling out the count.
Her imports for the year amounted to
S73, 0O0, 900, giving a commerce OF $118s-
600 900, of which America had but a mis-.
cradle pittance and none Of the transpor-
tation, owing largely to the energy with
which our government-which Is not pa
ternal-has rendered our merchant ma
rine obsolete and practically impossible.
Incidentally. and as a good concluding bit
Of statistics, the surplus in government
revenue over expenditures for the year
1906. was close to $4,000. 900, where we
had substantial deficit.

Let's Eat Weeds.
From Harper's Weekly.

In view OF the present prices Of food
products and the outlook for the future.
IL may be some comfort to the American
citizen to know that several Of the most
common weeds are good for table use.
Wild chicory is bitterly hated by the
farmer, but 1t will make a delightful
salad tender and wholesome. The vir-
tues Of the dandelion in this respect are
now we'll known. Wild mustard, or
charlock, another bane OF the farmer.

weeds are astonishingly hard to discour-
age, so in Europe they use both the
broad-leafed and the curly-leafed varieties
as table vegetables. Nettles are much
used in Scotland, Poland and Germany

dicinal vegetable with a flavor all its own.
The young leaves seem a cross between
spinach and asparagus, and in a salad

America Crackers.
From the Bakers Weekly.

from tne bdkers weekly
The first cracker produced in the Unit
ed States, so far as known, was pilot
or ship bread. a large. round. clumsy.
crisp affair. which supplied the demand
OF the merchant marine for an article OF
food that would. unlike ordinary bread
keep for a prolonged period.
Later another variety was originated
the cold water cracker, which differed
from the first chiefly in its smaller size,
more compact texture and greater hard
ness. For a long time these two were the
only goods known to the trade.
They were both made OF unleavened
dough, mixed and kneaded by hand. and
each cracker was rolled out and shaped
separately before being placed, one at a
time. on a long-handled sheet-iron shovel
or peel, and transferred in order to the
floor of the oval shaped tile oven then In
use. 1t was not until some time later
that raised or fermented dough was used
in the manufacture OF crackers, and IL Is
only within the past seventy years that
any great variety has been producsds

SURGERY RELIEVES EPILEPSY.
Top of Child's Skull Removed and
Brain Pressure Relieved.

Through the efforts Of local surgeon.
Willie Byrne. twelve years old. recent
patient in the Georgetown University
Hospital has in all probability been re-
lieved Of the cause Of epilepsy. from which
he had been a chronic sufferer from his
infancy. The operation was performed
several weeks ago by DR.. George Tully
Vaughan.
Recently the epileptic attacks had been
aggravated to such an extent that the
child's father, DIR. P. j. Byrne. medical
examiner in the pension bureau, and a
classmate of DR.. Vaughan. decided on
heroic measures. He consulted the lat
ter and it was decided to operate.
The top Of the child's skull was re-
moved, and a pressure on the brain eff
fectively relieved. The child is now at
his parents home, and is believed to
be on the road to recovery.

Stone to Pritect Lower River Light.

The tug Camilla sailed yesterday even
ing towing four stone-laden lighters from
Georgetown to the new lighthouse being
erected at Ragged point. at the lower
end of the Potomac. The stone will be
piled on the shoal about the light in such
a manner as to protect the structure from
ice drifting up and down the river with
the tide. At the point where the new
light is located the sweep Of the tide is
said to be very heavy and to protect the
lighthouse the stone ice break will have
TO be heavy. Several years ago, at the
close of an extremely hard winter, when
the river was covered with ice to its
mouth nearly every lighthouse on the
river was more or less injured by the
drifting ice. and the expedient of placing
stone ice breaks about them was then
adopted. Work on the Ragged point
structure is progressing rapidly, but it
will be the first of the year before the
lighthouse is complete and ready for
service.

TO HELP FARMER.
pncIe Sam PromuIgates Results of
Many Experiments.

Washington, Oct. 4.-Uncle Sam, in
his desire to help the practical farmer
by importing to him information on
various Investigations made and con-
illusions reached by his numerous ex-
pertinent stations, publishes from time
to time bulletins telling of almost
everything, from how to cultivate the
crops to the feeding of the stock and
the baking of biscuits for the house
hold.
This information was for time
given in the monthly experiment sta
ton record, which was declared to be
too large, toe expensive and too tech
nical to carry the results of the prac-
teal farmer, but the bulletins furnish
comprehensive review of the work
accomplished at the experiment sta
ticns which will become of immediate
value to practical agrIculturalists.
The latest bulletin treats of "Bermu-
da Grass" "Short Versus Long Feed
ing OF Beef Cattle" preventing Loss
es at the Landing Time" Feeding
Work Horses" Colony Houses for
Poultry" Flour for Baking Powder
Biscuits" among other things.
