CARAVAN BREADMAKING.
Afshsns Use cobbIestones, While Tur-
conoans Like Sand.


The bread of the Afghan caravan
was cooked by heating small round
cobblestoncs in the fire and then pok-
Ing them out and wrapping dough an
inch thick about them. The balls thus
formed were again thrown into the
fire, to be poked out again when cook
ed. The bread tasted well there in the
desert, although in civilized communi-
ties the grit and ashes would have
seemed unendurable.
After good fellowship had been es-
tablished the Afghans actually sold us
some flour. says writer in the Ma
tional Geographical Magazine. The
camp where we used It little later
happened to be beside the sandy bed
of tricklng salt stream, which was
drinkable in winter but absolutely un-
usable In summer, when evaporation
is at it's height and the salt is concen-
tratcd.
'See," said one of our Turcomans
as we dismountcd; here is some sand.
Tonight we can have some good
bread"
w utu SOIuc uIl lWlSo Iluu DNCh Sdlh-
cred he proceeded to smooth Off bit
of the cleancst sand and built upon 1t
a hot fire. When the sand was thor
oughly hot he raked off most of the
Goals and smoothcd the sand very neat
ly Meanwhile one of the other men
had made two large sheets of dough
about three-quarters of an inch thick
and eighteen inches in diameter. Be
tween these he placed Il layer of Jumps
of sleeps tail fat. making n huge
round sandwich. This was now spread
on the hot sand. Goals mixed with sand
were placed completely over 1t. and it
was left TO bake. Now and then an
edge was uncovered. and Il Turcoman
smelled it appreciatively and raped
on it to see if it was yet cooked.
When the top was thoroughly baked
the bread was turned over and covered
up again. 1t tasted even batter than
the Afghan bread after 1t was cooled
a little and the sand and ashes had
been whisl;ed off with girdle. The
Turcomans are so accustomed TO life
in the sandy desert that they think 1t
impossible to make the best kind of
bread without sand. while the Af-
ghans. who live in the stony noun
tains, think that cobblestones are a
requisite.

THE ZANZlBARIs.
Dense Stupidity and Amusing Blunders
of the Natives.

Dense Stupidity and Amusing BIunders
of the Natives.
In the Autobiography OF Sir Henry
NJ. Stanley" the author says of the
colored natives of central Africa
Good as the majority of ZanZibaris
were, some of them were indeScriba-
bly, ard for me most unfortunately
dense. One man who from his personal
appearance might have been judged
to be among the most intelligent was
after thirty months experience with
his muSket unable to understand how
it was to be loaded. He never could
remember whether he ought to drop
the powder or the bullet into the mus
ket first. Another time he was sent
with man to transport q company of
men over Il river to camp. After wait
ing an hour strobe to the bank of
the river and found them padding in
opposite directions, each blaming the
other for his stupidity and, being in a
passion of excitement. unable to hear
the advice of men across the river,
who were bawling out to them how to
manage their canoe.
another man was so ludicrouSly
stupid that he generally was saved
from punishment because his mistakes
were so absurd. We were one day
floating down the Kongo, and, it being
near camping time. | bade him, as he
happened to be bowman on the occa-
sion. to stand by and seize the grass
on the bank to arrest the boat when
should call out. In little while we
came to fit place. and | cried. Hold
hard, Kirango" Please God. MASTER
he replied and forthwith sprang on
the shore and seized the grass with
both hands, while we. of course, were
rapidly swept down river, leaving him
alone and solitary on the bank. The
boats crew roared at the ridiculous
sight. but nevertheless his stupidity
cost the tired men hard pull to as
cend again, for not every place was
available for camp.
He it WAS also who on an occasion
when we required the branch of spe-
cies of arbutus which overhung the
river TO be cut away to allow the ca
noes to be brought nearer to the bank
for safety actually went astride of the
branch and chopped away until he fell
into the water with the branch and
lost our AK. He had seated himself on
the outer end of the branch.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition OF the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inilamed condition of The
mucous surfaces.

worm above referred to some years
causes enormous loss, and any farmer,
no matter what may be the nature of his
crops, who permits the meadow-lark t.
he shot on his property is simply in
viting his most voracous enemies to
come in and destroy at will.
There is no doubt but investig tiol
of the economic value of the meadow
lark, when completed in this state,
will show that this bird is OF inesti-
mable value to all branches of agricul-
ture and horticulture; and that, where
undisturbed, it almost entirely controls
the dreaded Fuller's rose beetle, the
greatest enemy the strawberry growers
of California have to combat, and one
that can be controlled only by birds that
seek their food on the ground.
The meadow-lark is now protected in
more than forty states of the union, and
laving aside the beauty and splendid
song and everv other matter of sentiment
connected with this bird, its great
benefit to man, proven over and over by
the best authorities who have studied
its habits and life history, should
secure for it our friendship and interest,
and its absolute protection by the state.

Value of Birds.

Birds are natures check on insect
life. BY controlling the increase of
certain insects they prevent the des-
truction of plant life, and without plant
life, animal life-including that of man
would be impossible upon the earth.
Each species of bird has its special
Office One cares for the leaves and
twigs of the trees another guards the
trunk and limbs from attack still others
hunt upon the ground, seeking their
prey beneath the fallen leaves and loose
soil.
The stomach of one bob White"
quail has been found to contain more
than 100 potato beetles. Another had
eaten 500 cnch bugs Ninety of the
destructive cotton-bol weaviIs were
found in the stomachS Of three meadow
larks. A single robin had eaten IT'S
caterpillars. A chickadee has been
known to eat 5000 eggs Of the canker
worm in one day. A barn swallow will
destroy more than thousand Hes ard
other winged insects every tweuty-fou
hours. A pair of chipping sparrows
we're observed to carry to their young
more than 200 insects, mostly cater
pillars, in less than one day. A night
hawk will consume hundreds Of in
furious insects, including mosquitoes
and moths, in one evening continuing
the beneficial work long after the day
gone 10 sleep. A pair of nesting orioles
will destroy thousands of the small
green caterpillarS that are so destructive
to the foliage of deciduous fruit trees
some years in California. The farmer
who Kills one of these birds takes the
life of one of his very best friends,
Fifty per cent of the food of the red
shafted flicker consists of ants, 5000 of
these having been taken from the crop
of single bird. The black phoebe
destroyes vast numbers of flies and
gnats that annoy horses and cattle.
Food is brought to the young of these
birds every two or three minutes.
In California the black headed gros-
beak, the robin and the orioles search
out and feed upon the pupae of the cod
ling moth. The valley partridge when
Induced to visit grounds infested with
the Fuller's rose beetle, will soon exter-
inmate that destructive intruder. The
tiny California bushtit is of untold
benefit in destroying eggs, grubs and
insects injurious to trees. In the crop
Of one mourning dove were found more
than 7, 600 seeds of harmful weeds. If
birds take some of the farmers fruits
and garden crops it is because they
have no other vegetables food provided
for them. When we have learned to
count them into our families, and pro-
vide something for their sustenance in
return for the good they do us, as we
provide for our domestic fowls, we
shall find the birds do little harm to our
gardens. No man has the moral right
to sweep the land clean of the natural
food of birds and then deny them a bit
of his fruit and few of his scattered
grains.
Mr. Forbush has a record of pair of
grosbeaks having fed their nestlings
with more than eight hundred larvae of
caterpillars in eleven hours.
The number of insect species is
greater far then that of the species of all
other living creatures combined. Dr.
Lintner considered it not improbable
that there were a million species.
! Professor Harvey found five hundred
mosquitoes in a nighthawk's stomach,
Amador ledger., 1910-01-21

and Professor Beal found two hundred
and seventeen fall web worms in the
stomach of yellow-blled cuckoo.
Mr. A. K. Kirkland has computed that
the unrestricted increase of the gypsy
moth would be so great that the progency
of one pair would be numerous enough
in eight years to devour all the foliage
in the United States.
pair of nesting wrens we're noted by
an observer to take more than six
hundred insects from his garden per
day. DR. Judd made record of pair
of house wrens carrying one hundred
and eleven insects to their young in
four hours.
Certain moths deposit hundreds of
eggs in season, and we're each egg to
hatch and each insect to come to
maturity and 60 on producing young at
the same rate, the entire earth in few
years would be carpeted with crawling
caterpillars, and the moths in flight
would cover the earth like blanket Of
fog. -Forbush,
DR.. Marlatt, basing his estimate on
the value Of farm products given in the
reports of the Bureau of Statistics of
the United States Department of
agriculture for 1904, gives the loss from
insect depredations for that year as
seven hundred and ninety-five million
dollars; and this is supposed to be a
conservative estimate OF the tax now
imposed by injurious insects On the
people of the United States.
Many cases have been recorded where
the destruction of birds has been fol-
lowed by an immediate increase in the
number of injurious insects, and an
attendant loss of practically all orchard
and garden crops. The greatest losses
from the ravages of the Rocky mountain
locust were coincident with or followed
soon after the destruction by the people
of blackbirds, prairie chickens, quail,
plover, curlew and other birds.
Vast damage is done every year in
some sections of California, especially
to vineyards and alfalfa fields, by cut
worms and army worms, which are the
larvae of noctuid moths, and investiga-
tion will show that in every locality
where this destruction occurs, meadow
larks, robins and other ground feeding
birds ] stsich ou the worms in
the larvae state during the winter or at
the time they become active in the
spring., have been either shot, po, soned
or driven off. Every meadow-lark is
worth ten dollars year to farmer in
the control of this worm alone.
Professor Beal, during field work in
California, has found that ffty-seven
species of birds feed on scale insects,
twenty-nne of which destroy the black
scale, one of the two most destructive
scale insects in the United States and
one that causes the orange growers more
expense to combat than all other insects
cmbine. Among these are the ruby
crowned kinget, the bush tit, the
Audubon warbler and the black headed
grosbeak, four of our common and
widely distributed species. No doubt
many foot-hill orchards, where these
birds have protection, are kept
practically free from the black scale in
this way, and the expense of spraying or
fumigating thus saved the grower
