HUCKLEBERRY FARMING.
A agriculture with u Match in Penn
syIvania Timber Regions.

'It may seem incredible to those
who have never lived in or travelled
much through timber districts where
the huckleberry is indigenous" said
a native of such a district, but it is
a fact that there is a tribe of shift
less persons in all such regions who
Systematically and without regard to
law, property or life set fire to woods
or to cut over land adjacent to woods
simply to increase the area of buckle
berry bushes.
There is only one way in which
huckleberries can be cultivated, and
the huckleberry farmer, does not need
to own an inch of land. If he has. the
title to one simple lucifer match he
can put thousands of acres under cul-
tivation in a very short time.
He has only to light the match and
touch it to the dry leaves and branch
es on the. ground, either in early
spring or late fall, and his cultivation
is soon under way. No matter what
grew on the ground before fire swept
it bare huckleberry bushes will never
fail to spring up luxuriantly from the
ashes and scorched soil. They will be
in abundant bearing the next season.
The result in loss of life or property
does not concern the persons who
reap the benefit.
Many of the fires that devastate
our forests every year may be traced
to this reckless and deliberate max
ing or improving of huckleberrv
patches. l remember one instance
particularly where setting fire to the
brush on a huckleberry barren in
northern Pennsylvania resulted in a
forest fire that swept over a 10000
acre timber tract, doing incalculable
damage to the standing timber and
reducing to ashes 100000 feet of
logs and lumber and 10000 cords Of
tanbark, representing a money value
OF nearly $4,000. Twenty persons
were burned to death and thirty So
badly burned that seven of them died
from their injuries. The -huckleberrv
crop gathered from this cultivation Of
that barren perhaps realized 5000 to
the cultlvators.-New York Sun.

CHEMISTRY 1900 YEARS AGO.

Employed by Chinese in Cure OF
Disease-The Philosophers Stone.
Yu Tung Kwai, Chinese delegate
to the chemistry congress-, read an
interesting paper before a section of
the assembly yesterday on the chem
ical industry of China. Alchemy, he
said, was known in China at least
200 before Christ, and China still oc-
cupied an important position in regard
to the chemical Industries of the
world.
The principal object of the practice
of alchemy $500 years ago, he said,
was the cure of disease. Efforts were
also made to evolve a preparation
somewhat analogous to the philoso-
piers stone, the result attained being
known as gold pills.
Metallurgical work and dyeing were
known in China from time immemo-
rial, while the processes of making
gunpowder, paper, glass and porcelain
all originated in the same country,
while it is admitted that the Chinese
knowledge of oxygen.
circumstances in China" said the
lecturer, have now changed. Since
China has been known for thousands
of years to be an agricultural country
and to possess an enormous wealth Of
undeveloped minerals, attention has
naturally been directed to the study
of these two branches of applied
science.
"A board of agriculture and indus
tries has been instituted, composed of
different bureaus, each bureau manag-
ing some department, such as land
surveying, mine surveying, irrigation
work, etc. Having it's headquarters in
Pekin, the affairs of each province are
controlled directly by provincial exec
utive committees, and shortly, 1t Is
believed, government experimental sta
lions will be established. Also in
the formation of chemical societies
provincial societies have been formed,
which will constitute sectional
branches. Agricultural societies too
are being formed in good numbers, and
the last few years have witnessed the
establishment of commercial guilds
"A characteristic feature about the
teaching system of China is that chem
istry, together with mathematics, is
a compulsory subject in the elementary
schools. This is insisted. upon, not
only that the pupils mind may be
trained, but also that the young stu
dent may acquire some elementary
knowledge of natural phenomena

FARMING FOR soLDIER.

Means Adopted In Russia to In
crease the Empires Harvest.
The russian government ia about
10 try TO Increase the harvests of the
empire by two novel means, says
st. petersburg letter to the New York
sun. They are to teach improved
methods OF farming to the soldiers in
the army, which absorbs about $780,
Voo young men as conscripts each
year, and to induce the village priests
TO persuade the peasants to forego
ABOUT third Of the ninety-three holy
DAYS IN the year which the church rec
ognlzes. thus giving them more time
to cultivate their farms.
Inc grating of agricultural teach
ing on the soldiers professional In
structlon Is matter of significance.
Evidently the government has pom
dered the saying of Prussia's great
Field Marshal Won Moltke: IF Ger
man farming is let go to ruin then
the German empire goes to ruin, and
that, too, without shot being fired!"
Russia's army in its rank and file
Is almost wholly made up of the sons
OF peasants. The young Russian peas
ant is remarkably intelligent and
quickly taught. He has a tougher
physique than any other country can
show, even than his late enemies, the
Japanese. Beyond that he has the
great virtue in a soldier OF unques-
tioning faith in and obedience to au-
thortty.
This well disciplined, intelligent
mass has got to be kept away from
the physical and moral deterioration
of town life. To this end the depart
ment of agriculture and the war de-
partment have come together. Occa-
sionally experiments with non-com-
m1ssioned officers have been made and
the reports are all favorable to devel-
oping the system.
The program adopted by the two de-
partments has general and a special
part. General teaching will be given
to all the troops, while the special
course Is preserved for volunteers.
The men will be taught regarding
the life of plants, their nourishment
and the fruit they bear, the workings
of the soil and the use of fertilizers
for the districts that are without black
earth, the science of sowing and the
rotation Of crops, the preparing OF
Seed the cultivation of fodder and of
grass lands, the management of cat
tie, the better vegetable gardening and
fruit growing, and even improved bee
management.
To help the soldiers to remember
what they have been taught and to
keep alive their interests after they
have returned to their homes the de-
partment of agriculture is preparing
for the war department booklets CIV
ing simply worded advice on all
branches of farming. A recommends
ton is made to institute a number of
money premiums to be awarded an.
nually to soldiers who have shown
most improvement in cultivating their
land and done the most toward raising
the standard of farming in their home
districts
