Corn from China

The agricultural department has been experimenting with some corn from China which seems to ce particularly adapted to the hot and dry conditions of the Southwest. The plants raised in the test averaged less than 6 feet in height, with an average of twelve green leaves at the time of tasseling. The ears averaged 5 inches in length and ; inches in greatest circum- ference, with sixteen to eighteen rows of small grains. The silks of the ar are produced at the point where the leaf blade is. joined to the leaf sheath, and they appear befor there is any sign of an ear except d slight swelling.

Telling Trees by Wire

A machine recently invented in Germany, by Hugo Gantke, substitutes a steel wire for the axe and saw in felling trees. The wire is about one millimeter in diameter, and is kept in rapid motion by a small electric motor placed at a sufficient distance to be beyond the radius of danger from the falling trees. The swift motion heats the wire and it cuts with great facility, producing slighG carbonization of the wood. A trunk 20 inches in diameter can be severed in six minutes. The cut can be made at the level of the ground, or even below it if the soil is removed.

Health iG th0
 United States

According to the latest census reports the death rate in this country continues to decline. 1t dropped to l5 per 1000 of popu- lation last year, the lowest on record in the registration area where records are reported and kept. As these records are, generally speaking, urban, 1t Is safe to say that the health con. ditlons of larger cities are in the main highly satisfactory. The reason is not far to seek. The American people have been stud ying hygiene in the last twenty
 five years and they have i'm proved their sanitary environ ment to an extent unprecedented in the history of any race. Dis eases that formerly eXacted an annual toll of thousands of lives are now almost unknown and other diseases respond more readily to treatment; first, be
 cause the science of medicine has made wonderful progress, and again because the layman is better able to cope with sickness. Municipalities are alert in safe
 guarding the water supply, gar bage and filth is removed in colnmon -sepse, scientific way, and there are fewer plague spots than there were before cleanli- ness became something of a vogue. Public bathouses, gym nasiums, plavgrounds, aud the custom of fresh-air excursions, have all contributed to the gen. eral good. There is room for Improvement yet, but on the whole conditions are very satis- factory. The United States is the most healthful as we'll as the most prosperous country on earth.-PhiIadelphia Telegraph.

Decrease in Prices

Dispatches from Chicago show that there is a material drop in the prices of beef, pork, lamb, flour and sugar in that market. As to some of those commodi- ties, the Chicago figures are rul- ing and the reduction will be noticeable every ywhere n this country. These are some of the daily necessities of life, food stuffs in daily and general use The figures are of interest in every household because meat and flour are big items in the housekeeper's accounts. In some instances the reductions are very noticeable. The reason assigned for the decrease in price is that there is a bumper crop of corn and this lesSens the cost of feed for stock and hence the cost of meat. The reduction will be very gratefully received and there is enough of it so that it can escape nobody's notice.

Watar Under Deserts

Some of the most curious phe- nomena of the world are the underground water supplies be- heath deserts. In the Rajapu- Jana deserts water is held in vast qualities in sandstone beds under the ScOrched surface and ie drawn up from wells sunk into the strata. Bikaner raises it's walls in the midst of a dreary. almost rainleSs waste of sand and de- bends on these hidden cisterr S for it's very existence. Whence it comes, where is the outfall and what quantity runs under the baked sand remains @ mystery. In enc well at Bikaner it has been ascertained that the water supply is evual to 20,0O0 gallons an hour, which is held to point to the conclusion that there is an enormous subterranean flow and that the snow fed rivers of the Hlmalayas must be the source. People in Bikaner say that pieces of wood dropped into ore well have come up in an other. The idea of an under ground river opens up a wide range possibilities to the imag- ination.

The speed of justice in En gland has been so swift that Americans are made dizzy over it. pr. Crippen was extradited from Canada, tried on the charge of murdering his wife, convicted and sentenced to death. And, what-is more, no m&udlin Senti- mentality was allowed to save his neck. He was reprieved for a week or so that the law might be complied with, then hanged and his body buried in quick lime in the prison yard almost before the fellow had time to gain national reputation.

TREAT GIHDLED FRUIT TREES
Where Rabbits Have Removed Large
Patches Of Bark Bridge Graft

Rabbits have seriously injured fruit
trees in many orchards by girdling
this winter. Prof. j. G. Moore of the
college of agriculture Of the University
of Wisconsin says that when the
girale Is only three or four inches
wide the tree may be saved by bridge
grating. Trees with large patches of
bark removed entirely around the
trunk can not be successfully treated.

may be saved by special treatment.
Bridge grating should be done in
early spring. scions from healthy
trees being selected. from twigs pro-
duced last season. The torn edges Of
the wound should be cut of smooth,
and all badly loosened bark removed.
The scion should be cut half or
three-quarters OF an inch longer than
the wound, and the ends of the scions
pointed.
The scion may then be inserted I'M
der the edge Of the bark, care being
taken to have the cut on the scion
made rather slanting, to give consid-
cradle space for it to unite with the
bark of the tree. Several of these
scions should be put in around the
tree at intervals of not more than

HINDUS ALARMED AND ASTlR
Spread OF Christianity Threatens
Whole Structure Of Hinduism
With Overthrow.

Hinduism is awakening to the fact
that If the great sub-strata of Hindu
society known as the depressed classes
be raised by Christianity, the whole
structure of Hinduism is theatened
with overthrow. This awakening is
being followed by efforts in various
parts for the improvement of these
poor people. The latest is a move
ment in A~hmedabad. In hat city, on
August 20, a meeting was held at
which the attendance of the depressed
classes was encouraged and in which
they were allowed to sit beside caste
people. Resolutions were passed for
h formation of a Central Hindu asso-
citation. which should have for its OBJ
jects the raising of the depressed
classes and their readmission into
Hinduism after being converts to for
eign faiths. AS to the mean to be
adopted for realizing these objects,
the following suggestions were made:
(a) Starting schools, clubs and asso-
Citations; CD establishing preaching
missions; (c) publishing papers,
periodicals, magazines and leaflets;
I'D adopting such other means as may
be conducive to the above objects.

Y NOTES.

Sow a little SCOT and lime around
thc violet plants if slugs or snails are
troublesome.
Small fruit plants should always be
set and kept so that they can be
easily cultivated.
Many insect pests can be fought
the most successfully only at certain
definite times or periods.
Without vigorous wood growth.
regular crops of fruit of desirable
quality are rarely obtained.
Arkansas Black and Stayman are
seedlings of the old Winesap and are
improvements on the original.
Spraying is an operation that can
rarely be nut off or postponed if the
best results are to be obtained.
Palms are almost all at rest and a
moderate amount of water at the
roots, spraying and heat are in order.
1t is a serious mistake to set trees
TOO deeply because the roots are lore
apt to rot than if planted reasonably
near the surface.
Where rhubarb is wanted early
without lifting or forcing, a good thick
ness of strawy manure laid owe the
CrOWns will forward 1t some.
Burning is a good way of %disposing
of any weed infested soil and rubbish
of a like natrre. The resulting ashes
form a most useful fertilizer.
SCOT water, clarified and used regu-
larly in a dilute state, is about the
best stimulant for foliage plants, i'm
proving the color of the leaves very

and having secured it, to keep what
is needed for life and growth. This
water is used in two quite different
ways; first. it is one of the principal
materials necessary for making food.
and second. It is used to dilute the
food to moisten the tissues of the
plant, make them flexible, and finally
to supply a mean of communication
from one part of the plant to another.
This water way in the plant is more
important as a highway of travel than
are oceans. rivers. lakes and canals to
the commerce of the world. Only
when dissolved in water can the plant
take in any substance from without or
o anything within itself.
Some plants live directly in the wa
ter and they are not troubled about
getting all the water they need, but
a far larger number are rooted in the
soil and often in soil with only a
moderate amount of water. This water
surrounds each tiny bit of sand or
particle of loan as a thin coating, but
in good mellow soil, there is no water
between the soil particles. The water
has dissolved some of the soil, and so
has various compounds in solution.
How is the plant to get this water and
these compounds away from the soil?
Examine the roots and note how
they run in every direction, branching
repeatedly and forming a network on
every side of the plant. Cut the plant
down and measure its length upon the
ground and often the roots will be
found to extend more than the length
of the plant. The smallest rootlets
reach almost everywhere within this
radius unless they are crowded out by
those of other plants. A microscope
Is needed TO see the finer divisions.
but if the soil be carefully washed off
a rootlet and a thin cross section cut
through it, when enlarged it will be
found that from many of the outside
cells slender hairs, as fine as cob.
webs and perhaps a sixteenth of an
inch long, run III from ii in every
direction.

one and one-half inches. On small
trees, three or four scions will be suf.
ficient.
1t is a good practice to paint over
the wound areas with white lead, and
they may further be protected by
binding with cloth. Care should be
taken, however, to see that the Irvine
that holds the cloth is not so tight
as to girdle the newly set scions.
After the scions have become firmly
established, the cloth may be removed.
The scions will continue to increase
in size. and as they approach each
other the union Of one scion to the
other may he accomplished by shaving
the sides of the scions. In time the
entire girdied area may be entirely
healed over in this way.
In some cases, bridge grating will
not be necessary. If the inner bark
has not been removed by the rabbits.
the tree may be saved by Immediately
protecting the girdled area before il
has had time to dry out, by wrapping
with cloth which has been treated
with grating wax. The inner bark
will then form an outer bark, with
out serious injury. Where it can be
used. this method is better than
bridge grating. Trees on which the
bark has been removed along the
sides and not entirely around the
trunk, will be benefited by painting
the wound. Before this is done, how
ever, the rough edges of the bark
should be removed so as to facilitate
healing.

MARRIAGE,

A game of chance in which the
chances are about even. The man
leads at first, but after leaving the
altar he usually follows breathlessly
in his wife's trail. The rules are very
confusing. If a masked player holds
you up some night at the end of a
long gun, it is called robbery and
entities you to telephone the police;
but if your wife holds you up for a
much larger amount the mex morn
ing at the end of a long hug, it is
termed diplomacy and counts in her
favor. In this, as in other games of
life, wives are usually allowed more
privileges than other outlaws.-Judge.
