The Governor outlined his plan be

TRIES.

In China there are many trees
which arouse the wonder of Travellers.
The varnish trees is of small size and
has a leaf resembling that of the wild
cherry: q gum oozes from it drop by

greater quantity of liquor comes forth,
but it soon destroys the tree. The

There is another tree from which a
liquor is obtained that differs but little
from the Varnish. Another is termed
the taIlow tree. This is as large as a
high cherry tree; the leaves are Of a
lively red, and the shape of a heart;
fruit is contained in the rind, which,

LURIN. INTER- ATTONAL WHEAT
EXPERT.

Wheat is such a common thing that
occasionally we nave to stop short and
think hard to realize that Of ali the
material things in the world wheat IS
the most important, that it is the chief
food of the overwhelming majority
Of the earth's inhabitants.
'fWhO makes the worlds price OF
wheat" Thirty years w. David Lubin,
an ATnericanized shop
keeper Of Sacramento, began asking
himself that question. Unlike other
men who had asked it, he found an
answer. says Hampton's Magazine for
July.
David Iubin, today a millionaire
and one of CALIFORNIA; great mer-
chants and phlfanthroplsts, was
brought to America, when a child, by
a widowed mother. He sold pa pers,
learned a trade in the Ghetto of New
York, and at length went to Califor-
MIA. There in time he established the
great merchandising business of VEN
stock & Lubin. with houses in Sacra-
and San Francisco. He
the California Fruit Growers Assocla-
ton, which made it possible, through
cooperation of the fruit raisers ana
the railroads. to place California fruits
in every market of the country.
Then Lubin became interested in
hen he had produced a crop,
he went to the a francisco buyers
and got their price.
IF | sell for that, I lose money he
said. who decides hat price for
me?"
The dealers shrugged their shout
ders, but could lot answer his ques-
ton. They knew that was the days
price, based on quotations from
Chicago Board Of Trade
Iubin went to Chicago, and was told
that the Board of Trade received its
quotations from New York. He went
to New York, and learned that its
prices came from Liverpool He went

THE TAN OF BAD ROADS.

One Of the heaviest taxes farmers
pay in many sections is the tax inn
posed by bad roads in the loss OF time,
the wear and tear of vehicles and the
breaking down Of horses.
Add to his the loss ia value Of real
estate bordering on bad roads, as
shown by the immediate rise in value
of real estate when good roads are
made in any district.
The Atlanta Constitution cites the
fused to contribute q strip off his
farm for a good roa because he did
not believe in good roads on principle.
But the road was made all the same,
and tina farmer was offered ten dol
lars an acre more for his 500 acres
than he had asked before the road
was built. Queer sort of principles,
his.
Wherever a good road is built there
is usually no more kicking, but peo-
pie off the road soon want one in
their neigh bOrhood. so that one well
built road is the means for getting
more. as has been the case in
burg county,, North Carolina. where
good roads are the rule rather than
the exception. and the people are
making more Of them all the time.
There is no better investment a
farmer can make than a liberal tax for
a firSt-r1aSS road.

AMONG THE BEES.

The queen bee is the mother Of all
bees and one fertilization is sufficient
curing her entire life of usefulness.
Therefore by simply ~renIacinp the
queen with a purely mated Italian
queen the entire colony Will be chang
ed to that race; and if the change is
made during the summer months. the
change viii be completed in about
three months time.
MOth worms are practically I'M
known in apiaries of Italians or their
crosses. To get rid Of the moths in
hives of black bees, remove the black
queens and introduce INFESTED Italian
queens in their place, and as soon as
the bees of the Italian strain begin to
match they viii make short stay of
the moth worms.

SAND FOR DUCKS.

Some people have a notfon hat
ducks and geese do not need grit be-
cause they are not seen picking up
large particles of stone. They do not
need as large a size of grit as mems do,
for they get sand he pudding In
the bottom of the creek and streams,
where they forage for weeds and fish.
Duck1ings should be provided with
plenty Of sand. which takes the place
of grit. SO thoroughly do some duck
r~aise~s believe in grit that they mix
sand in the food that they give their

RECORD ONION CROP.

1t is claimed that Charles VolZ Of
the Mission Community, Mission,
Texas, holds the worlds record for
profits from intensive farming. He
recently sold his Bermuda onion crop
on tW~enty-fOur acres for S12.9S2. De-
Quoting the expenses Of planting, Gull
tlyating, harvesting, and marketing
the crop left him a net return of So
0S3. The onion yield from these
t~Wenty-four acres filled twenty-five
cars. The product was shopped to
Northern and Eastern markets. The
land could have been bought ten years
ago for 81 an acre.

that Bankhead could open the lock
without a key in 10 seconds, but Bank
head himself put up $50 to cover the
