the world knows so little. have. be-
cause of their weirdness fnbued the
public mind with such an interest for
the real facts and the real conditions
that the writings of man who has
been an eye witness hold forth most
attractive magnetism. Yesterday after
noon the people of Ottunwa were
privileged to hear an explorer who had
penetrated the very depths OF the vast
continent of Africa in the course OF
scientific investigation to learn OF the
wonderful lives, habits, customs and
conditions Of this race of pygmies
Although DR.. Cell was compelled to
cut his lecture short to enable him to
catch train, yet he related enough Of
the environment of the little people to
give his hearers fair idea Of this
land of twilight.

tribute to the table and to the revenue
Of every farm. The conception that
the raising of small fruits involves
undue or exceptional labor, as COM
pared with other lines of labor on farm
or garden, is erroneous. Properly and
intelligently pursued, the labor is as
light as it is attractive, and the re-
turns likely to be large, both in money
and enjoyment. A liberal space should
be given to these fruits on every farm.
1t will we'll repay the endeavors of the
farmer or his wife, or of the boys and
girls.
Extension Bulletin No. Is, by Leroy
Cady and K. S. Kirkpatrick, just is
sued from the Minnesota University
Farm, offers a variety of suggestions
as to the propagation of these fruits.

When Nature, in her distribution OF
fruity 1avors, allotted to the North
land the strawberry, the raspberry,
the blackberry, the currant and the
gooseberry, and made many varieties
hardy even beyond the Arctic circle,
she made it impossible that they who
have their dwellings here should look
with envy on the Shower but less ap-
petizing fruits of the South. Doubt
less God might have made better
berry than the strawberry, but doubt
less God never did" And close to the
strawberry in attractive qualities are
those others named. All of them are
