y CAREFUL DOCTOR
Prescribed Change Of Food Instead Of

1t takes considerable courage for a

to 30 Worth Millions.

Phoenix, ArIz.-About the origin Of
most Of the craters Of the earth's sur.
face there is little dispute. They are
OF all sizes. We find them in the
Sandwich Islands, with floors from
three to four square miles in area.
These have reminded Professor Pick.
ering of nothing less than the ring
craters on the moon. In Arizona,
near Canon Diablo, is q crater-like de-
preston 1000 feet in diameter and
500 feet deep. The rim can be seen
from great distance, and. such rims
being called "buttes," this particular
rim Is known as Coon butte. The IT.
regular contour of the rim is marked
by broken rocks, some as large as a
house. The outer slopes down to the
plain are covered with similar masses.
pieces of many tons weight having
been thrown thousands of feet away
from the crater. But there Is no
lava about the butte. and this would
seem summarily to dispose of the idea
that Coon butte is the site of a vol.
cano.
DR.. @. K. Gilbert many years ago
suggested that the ring-shaped pits on
the moons surface were caused by
the impact Of giant meteorites, and
for some time he held the view that
Coon butte must have been formed
in similar manner. This view has
Of late been revived. Prof. Elihu
Thomson, in a letter to the American
Institute Of Electrical Engineers, re-
minds US that the masses of iron flung
down the outer slopes Of the crater
are sent to all parts of the world as
neteoric iron. Mr.. Barringe has
spent considerable sums in explora-
ton under the firm conviction that he
will find large amount of meteoric
iron below the surface. So far he has
been unsuccessful 1t is calculated
that 600 bore-hOies, each costing
about s400, will be necessary to make
sure Of finding the meteoric mass. as
suming it to have been 500 feet in
diameter.
The mass Of the meteorite is esti.
mated to have been at least five mil
lion tons. OF this the greater part
would be iron, but per cent. would
be nickel, and there would be three
million ounces Of platino-iridium

Food Consists Largely Of Seeds Of

The natural food of the quail con.

Of plants known as weeds, with q

winter, when the leaves are young and
tender. Considering how small Is the
amount of fruit usually found in the
stomach Of this bird, 1t 10 surprise
to learn that it sometimes does seri-
Gus damage to vineyards. Investiga-
ton, however, shows that, as in most
other similar cases, the injury results
only when too many birds gather in

Nearly all the complains against
the quail for eating fruit are that it
visits vineyards in immense numbers
and eats grapes. When thousands
visit vineyard. even II only occasion
ally. and each bird eats or spoils at
least one grape. the result is disas-
trous.
In the laboratory Investigation OF
the food of these quail 619 stomachs
were examined. Animal food, princi-
pally insects, amounted to 3 per cent.
of the food, and 81 per cent. vegetable
food. This latter consists OF seeds of
plants, most Of which are of noxious
or troublesome species.
Ants appear to be favorite animal
food. but the quail will eat caterpil-
lars, beetles. grasshoppers, flies,
spiders. snails and scale insects.

OF all the conquerors that have

If growth has been arrested.
In the United States the onion set
industry is largely confined to few
areas. The crop is extensively grown
near Louisville. KY, Chillicothe, O.,
and Chicago, ILL.,. in the Platte River
valley of Nebraska. in southwestern
New Jersey and in southern California.
The entire area devoted to this enter
prise in these localities is estimated
at from $500 to 5000 acres. The yield
to the acre varies with the locality,
but the average about 300 bushels.
The market for onion sets Is found
throughout the entire country, tie
greater portion being disposed of In
small quantities.
The climatic conditions governing
the production Of onion sets are prac-
tically the same rs those for standard
onions. although 1t is not necessary to
plant quite SO early in the spring.
Onion sets can undoubtedly be grown
in any part of the northern states
where suitable soil conditions can be
obtained. The soil adapted to onion
set culture is, as a rule, about the
same as that required for the growing
Of large onions, except that the land
should not be so rich.
