spurs, and the other 95 per cent die,
drying up and leaving excellent gate
ways for the entrance of disease into
the wood of the tree Young lateral
branches, when shortened back, espe-
cially after the spring growth has tax
en- place, very frequently develop fruit
buds and spurs.
In the removal of large branches
from old or bearing trees, always make
the cut parallel with the branch or
main stem from which the one is re-
moved. This frequently means larger
wound than it would make if the cut
is made at right angles to the limb
that is to be removed, but such wounds
will heal quicker and are less injurious
to the tree than the much smaller ones
that leave the collar of the branch to
be covered with healing tissue. Do not
hesitate to remove large useless or su-
pert1uous limbs from trees, but always
make smooth, clean cuts with q saw.
and it necessary to prevent splitting
the stem or peeling the bark, make two
cuts-the first from six to twelve
inches out from where the limb is to
be finally cut off. Nothing can be ap-
piled to the wound to hasten the heal
ing. Wounds an inch or less in diam
eter need not be treated, while larger
wounds may be advantageously treated
with thick coat of lead paint. Cheap
mineral paint or tar should not be
used, as it kills the young, tender bark,
while grating wakes crack and peel off
before the wound has healed Any
antiseptic that will keep the moisture
out makes an excellent coating.

AWFUL DOSE CURES SULTAN.

Directions Of the American Surgeon
Are Slightly Misunderstood.
This actually happened in Mindanao.
The story was told to me by the army
surgeon himself.
He was seated in his tent one morn
ing when a number of the followers Of
the Sultan Of Pantar came hurrying
to him, saying the Sultan was dying
of cholera. Aided by the slight knowl-
edge he had then had of their lam
guage, the surgeon diagnosed the case
from their reports as well-nigh hope
less one. Still. anxious to show the
skill and friendliness of the Ameri-
can for the Moro brother. he hastily
made up six powders. each containing
one-sixth Of a grain Of morphine and
thirty grains Of bismuth. These he
gave to the emissaries, telling them
to give the Sultan one of them In q
glass of boiled water every three hours
and to report to him next morning
how the patient was getting along.
The next morning the surgeon was
more than surprised to see the Sultan
himself walk into the tent. Wan and
weak as he was, he had come some
eight miles to thank the surgeon per-
sonally for having saved his life. and
had brought with him one of his sub
jects who spoke Spanish well enough
to serve as an Interpreter.
It was through this Interpreter that.
the surgeon learned how his directions
had been followed. First. they had
given the entire six powders to the
Sultan at one dose-a full grain OF
morphine and 100 grains Of bismuth-l
and then had poured tumblerful OF
boiling water into him every three
hours afterward. scalding his MOUTH
and throat so that he could hardly
speak
But 1t cured him. and the surgeonl
SAYS the same treatment cured many
another Moro who would probably
have died under lesser doses Brook

LAND CLEARING BULLETIN
FROM PUYALLUP STATION

The first bulletin to be issued this
year by the Western Washington Ex-
pertinent Station, located at Puyallup,
entitled CLEARING Logged-Of Land by
the Aid of a Donkey Engine" has been
finished by Superintendent w. H. Law
renee, superintendent of the station,
and will be ready for distribution
shortly. It is bulletin of the special
series class and is not moulded in the
regular mailing list, copies being OBJ
tainable either from the experiment
station at Pullman or at the local sta
tion. Other bulletins in the regular
and technical series will be published
later. Prof. Lawrence and Prof. H.
L. Blanchard have already written
other bulletins to be distributed later
in the year.
Superintendent Lawrence, in his bull
1etin, states that bare per cent Of
the 8, 500, 900 acres Of accessible land
west of the Cascade mountains in this
state is being utilized for farm land or
improved pasture land. One of the
reasons for this is the fact that the ex-
pense of clearing the logged-off lands
is so great. Mr.. Lawrence explains
the method used in clearing Is acres
of upland ut the experiment station by
means of donkey engine and stump
powder. A compound road engine
9x1O, with 100 pounds Of steam, was
used to pull out the stumps after the
roots had been loosened with powder.
The average cost per acre of clearing
the land by this method was $71.90, or
for the IS acres total of 1894. So.
In conclusion, the bulletin says:
"a donkey engine built for logging
purposes is not properly constructed
for land clearing. Clearing land with
donkey engine poorly operated is
very expensive, while such machine
pro nerly manned by a good crew is, on
the whole, quite satisfactory. The
usual way of pulling and burning
stumps and other debris destroys the
soil. The clearing of land by the aid
of a donkey engine is not so expensive
a method as the impression gained
from estimates generally given. Stump
ing powder and the donkey enigne are
quite satisfactory and rapid, but rather
expensive agents to use in the clearing
of logged-off lands.

Evidently the enemy was bent on the
siege of Fort Providence.

pose ourselves imprudently."

asked Altamont.
I'VE must put it off for a day or

no perseverance, and have grown tired

good radiance. Now let us start for
days hunting"
Softly, softly" said the doctor: II

"All right" said Clawbonny. Come

Away they went, but no trace Of the
enemy was discoverable for two miles.

said Altamont.

doctor again.
The American was unwilling to de-

My good Bell. your voracity would
never equal the Greenlanders," for they
devour from ten to fifteen pounds of
meat day."
Fifteen pounds!" said Bell. what
stomachs!"
Arctic stomachs," replid the doctor,
are prodigious; they can expand at
will, and I may add, contract at will;
SO that they can endure starvation
quite as well as abundance. When an
Eskimo sits down to dinner he is quite
thin, and by the time he has finished
ne Is so fat you would hardly recog-
nlze him. But then we must remem-
Der that one meal sometimes lasts a
whole day."
This voracity must be peculiar to
| the inhabitants of cold countries" said
Altamont.
Il think it u.s." replied the doctor. I'm
the arctic regions people must eat
enormously; it is not only one of the
conditions of strength, but of exist
ence. The Hudson Bay Co. always
reckoned on this account: Eight
| pounds Of meat to each man a day, or
twelve pounds of fish, or two pounds
of pemmican."
Must be Strengthening" said Bell.
NOT SO much as you imagine. An
Indian who guzzles like that can't do
whit better days work than an En-
glishman, who has has pound of beef
and pint Of beer.'
Things are best as they are. then. /

mo doubt of it, and yet an Eskimo
meal may we'll astonish us. In Sir
John Ross narrative, he states his sur
prise at the appetites Of his guides.
He tells us that two of them-just two,
mind-devoured quarter of a buffalo
in one morning. They cut the meat in
| long strips, and the mode Of eating was
either for the one to bite off as much
as his mouth could hold, and then pass
it on to the other, or to leave the long
ribbons of meat dangling from the
mouth, and devour them gradually,
like boa constructors, lying at full
length on the ground"
"Ughn exclaimed Bell, what dis
gushing brutes!"
Every man has his own fashion of
dining" remarked the philosophical
American.
Soon walrus was sighted. It was
of huge dimensions, and not more than
200 yards away. The hunters surround
ed the animal, crept along cautiously
| till within few PAGES Of him. Then
| they fired simultaneously.
The walrus rolled over, but speedily

cape. But Altamont fell upon him with
his Ratchet, and cut of. his dorsal fin.
| He made a desperate resistance, but
was overpowered by his enemies and
| soon lay dead. reddening the ice field
with his blood.
1t was q fine animal. measuring
more than fifteen feet in length. and
would have been worth a good deal for
the oil. But the hunters contented
themselves with cutting OF the most
savory parts. and left the rest to the

many months, and nothing to break
the weary monotOny.
The day after the hunting excursion
was dark and snowy, and Clawbonny
could find no occupation except polish
ing up the ice walls Of the hut, and
emptying out the snow which drifted
into the long passage leading to the in
ner door, The "Snow-House" stood
out well, defying storm and tempest.
The snow only increased the thick
ness of the walls.
They could do nothing but wait. 1t
wasn't time to try to build boat.
The men were compelled to spend
the greater part of the days in COM
plete idleness. Hatteras lolled on his
bed absorbed in thought Altamont
smoked or dozed, and the doctor took
care not to disturb either of them. for
he was in perpetual fear Of quarrel.
At meal time he always led the con-
versation away from irritating topics.
He gave them dissertations on history.
