During his hunting, travels and speaking
Bwana Jumbo never has lost sight of his writing.
He is writing chapter here and there, whenever
he has the time inclination to devote few

completed.
Mr.. r. D. Cuninghame Mr.. Roosevelt's hunter,
is typical of the African sportsman and is declared
to know more about game in this section of the
world than any other game expert.
No unique sight was ever presented to
the casual observer than that which met my eye
when l alighted from Uganda railway coach at
kapid Plains, where Mr.. Roosevelt and his army
were grouped. The station is ON Sir Alfred Pease's
ranch or estate, it is known here.
1.-THE Plains" consists of hardly more than the
sgnboard which tells it's name. Mr.. Roosevelt's
army" was drawn up about him, the ex-president
was conversng with Hunter Cuninghame and the
former executives gunbearer, Abdallah bin Said
was awaiting orders from his chief. OF the army
Abdallah is most devoted to his master and the
frequent lashings which the heads of the expedi
ton are often compelled to administer to auell
impending mutiny are never necessary with this
character He is unique type of African and be-
cause of his good qualities he commands better
pay than the rest of his fellows
The man who aided Mr. Roosevelt in getting
his expedition ready cautioned him against asking
any OF his servants to do duties for which any of
the others were hired
The labor union instinct is second nature with
the attache of the African hunting expedition Let
a gun bearer try to do the work of a porter or
bush heater and there is in camp at once.
Neither may the game carriers beat the game into
sight. Perhaps this system is for the best after
all for the reason that every specializes and
therefore is able to do his own allotted work to a
better advantage.
1t is said here that Mr. Roosevelt's entire expe.
dition will cost between $4,000 and 500 OOO which
to an American hunter may seem an enormous
price. But hunting wild game in Africa is heavy
undertaking and in order to go through with such
task that amount of money is actually neces
sary. But the party is getting results and that is
what they figure is the proper viewpoint.
Having arrived in the Stoik district Kermit and
his father had plenty of game upon which to exhibit
their prowess. The younger Roosevelt Immediately
set about establishing hunting record by bagging

the desired results one must summer.

summer pruning seems to depend upon
the ability of the primer to prune at

lions are easily controlled, the same end

by proper manipulation of the irriga-

by pruning at different seasons of the

is generally conceded that pruning
during the dormant season incites
wood growth, while pruning during the

for other shores probably 1000 more will have

Lions wildebeests, antelopes, giraffes, hippo
potami, rhinoceri, tigers, monkeys and dozens of
other varieties among the trophies of the
chase.
To Kermit Roosevelt the expedition has been
source of wonderment and pleasure. Every
thing was new to him. He had read about the
righteousness of darkest Africa but had never
been given an opportunity to even peer into the
confines of real lion hunting camp.
At the present writing both Kermit and his
father are in the best of health, both wearing
sWarthy tan which is darker than the jungle
stained khaki suits in which most of the hunting
is done.
A short time ago Mr.. Roosevelt visited the
American mission near here and he expressed
pleasure at the work which the organization is
doing for the African savage. The morning of
the day he visited the mission he spent in hunt
ing Culubra. monkeys and succeeded in shooting
several, which added to the list of speci-
mems.
Officials here have expressed the belief that
Mr. Roosevet's bagging of game is justifable in
view of the fact that his specimens are being
secured for the purpose of stocking up the
Smithsonian institution at Washington
Perhaps the biggest test of Rooseveltian siren
uosity came when the party crossed the desert
west of this city. In this instance they were
compelled to go for more than week without
procuring water All the liquid refreshment they
had was carried with them in great water skins,
suitable for this purpose.
Bwana Tumbo, which is an African expression
OF reverence, was the nickname which Mr.. Roose-
when met the ex-president at Kapiti Plains
station, where he was obliged to stop during his
travels, he seemed pleased to be reminded of
the fact that he had struck responsive chord

many cases.

and, while it might be possible. it

OF the apricot differ from those of
the cherry in that they develop NO
true terminal buds.
The manner OF pruning cherries will
depend somewhat on the variety but
the general plan should be to keen
the fruiting area of the tree as near
the ground as possible; to shade the
trunk, to prevent sun-scald, and to en-.
courage the growth of fruiting wood
throughout the entire top. The sweet
and semi-sweet varieties are upright
