tools. Do not fail TO bring a whip
saw. as you will need il the first
thing when you get here With re-
CARDS to machinery you no doubt
have a better knowledge Of what is
best fitted for this kind Of work; and
you should have il properly tested
before you leave San Francisco, with
extra fittings for your weak parts, as
none can be purchased here Now,
Jim, the proper time to leave the
states for this point is about March
H. This will bring you to your final
destination about May /, which sea-
son the rain will have ceased and
make prospecting easy.
From our experience on the river
/ (TipuanD one months work on the
river will be enough TO convince any
one Of the fact that a vast amount Of
money con be made. These placers
are situated at an altitude OF 5000
to 5000 feet, and at the foot Of the
Andes, which are covered with per-
petual snow which keeps the climate
cool and pleasant. There is an
abundance OF timber for fuel and
mining purposes and native labor
cheap.
Advise all your friends to stay
away who have only barely enough
money to get here, as there
IS much to take into consid-
GRAFTON on a trip of this kind, but for
a good energetic man there is a great
field and a sure fortune awaiting
him. AS yet the lodes or veins in
his section have not been thought
of.
There is good drinking water and
water power In abundance. | would
advise you to bring plenty of rubber
boots and light rubber clothing.
Now, Jim, / have tried to make
everything plain to you and don't be
afraid to come down with all the
money you can get so that you can
operate on large scale. There is
room for thousands of people and
would dearly love to see bedrock on
this stream. | think 1t will out
rival anything ever discovered. You
can make good wages on the surface
ground and at IL feet down 1t looks
good to me; and at IA feet down it
was rich. We might have been close
to bedrock, that is our opinion.
All the money you bring from the
United States should be in gold coin
and 1t will be readily exchanged for
Bolivian money at the rate of $3.50
for each dollar Of United States
money.
No doubt when sufficient people
get here and mining is opened up
there will be river steamers put into
service that will bring everything to
our doors at moderate prices. At
present flour is $25 per one hundred
pounds, meat one dollar per pound
and everything in proportion. Game
is scarce and hard to get.
All this talk about bad natives is
a talsehood They are very kind and
they will protect your interest from
all intruders. For goodness sake get
out of that frozen country and come
to climate that cannot be duplcat-
ed outside of California
Now, Jim, what have told you in

when you arrive here. Hoping to
see YOU next May or June ! remain
as ever,

AN INTERESTING TREE.

Some very interesting records of by
gone events are often written in other
places than books. This was interest
ingly shown in the case of Il tree that
was sawed through in a Washington
mill the other day. Buried several
inches in the solid wood was found
the stub of a charred branch that had
been entirely overgrown by succeed
ing layers of the growth. 1t was clear
that many years ago this tree had been
subject to forest fire sufficient to
burn this limb, but not so severe as to
kill the tree. Microscopical examina-
ton of the growth rings showed that
this fire occurred just ia years ago.

CORN HUSkERS.

While the mechanical corn husker is
a decided labor saver, it is not yet, after
several years experimenting and de
velopment entirely satisfactory. The
husker has been perfected so that ii
will remove the husks and take care
of the corn shelled by the swapping
rolls, but it still falls down when il
comes to getting all the ears in a row
One of these machines of the latest
type was returned by farmer to the
dealer because of this defect, as it
skipped more than a bushel of corn to
the row. Where the snowfall is not
heavy and stock can be turned in, this
skipping of ears is not so important.
but where these conditions do not hold
the defect becomes n serious one.

in a cause which they believed

for which they were willing to
lay down their lives. That
cause ceased to be, except in
history, now more than half a
century ago. 1t was one which

anG a brave and warlike race, a
four years struggle in which
lives, property, and everything
save honor were willingly parted
with for its sake. So great was
the genius for military leader

adaptable was the individual of
your race to effective warlike

just pride in your men and Wo-

whatever his origin, may now
rejoice in his heart that the

CUTTINGS FOR NEXT YEAR.

Scions for next springs grating op-
erations should be cut now from well
developed twigs Of the past seasons
growth. These should be tied In bun
dies Of twenty or twenty-five and
placed in sand or sawdust in q cool
cellar. 1t is best to cut the scions OH
warm days, when there is no frost in

be made now, allowing two or three
buds to each piece Of vine, with the
cuts made just above and just below
a bud. These may be tied in bundles
Of twenty or more and should be
buried in sand or Sawdust in a cool
cellar or, If this is not available, in
well drained trench about n foot deep
and butt ends up. The trench should
be located in sunny place and should
be covered with horse manure to keep
the cuttings from thawing and freeZ-
ing. In the spring this manure should
be removed with part of the soil, leav-
ing some two or three inches above the
cuttings. Growth of root may be fore
ed by putting heating manure over the

BEAUTIFYING THE HOME.
When Planting Trees Try to Obtain
Effect of Space and Freedom.

When Planting Trees Try to Obtain
Effect Of Space and Freedom.
A mistake commonly made in plant
ing trees and shrubs on the home
grounds is that of placing something
in every available bit of space. The
yard is planted as though it were an
orchard or a grove, the trees being
placed at regular intervals or scatter
ed about indiscriminately wherever a
sufficient clear space is found. Album
dance of shade is undoubtedly obtain
ed in this way, but such planting does
not utilize all the possibilities for
beauty and variety of effect which
even n small yard affords.
A more satisfactory method is that
which takes into account the beauty
and value of the open spaces of lawn
and makes the most of them by mass
ing the trees and shrubs according to
a fairly definite plan along the sides
and at the rear of the stretches of
greensward. In this way there is no
sacrifice of shade, and an effect of

THE SERUM SHOULD BE PURE.

These days, when hog cholera is play
ing havoc with many a herd of val
liable hogs, considerable attention is be
ing paid by hog raisers to the vaccina
ton method as a means of warding of
the disease. Where the cholera vac
cine is pure and properly applied it
has been remarkably successful, as in
Dictated in reports of the Illinois board
of live stock commissioners, which
state that out of 241 900 hogs given the
treatment less than 1 per cent died
In some isolated cases where a vaccine
of unknown strength and purity has
been used the loss from cholera has
been practically as severe as if no
treatment had been given. Inasmuch
as 1t costs close to a dollar a head to
vaccinate hogs, it is well to see to it
that the fellow who does it under
stands his job and that the vaccine
used is the best Obtaipable.

The Moving Cause.

The moving cause to proba-
BILE cessation of hostilities in the
other continent does not seem to
be inldiplomacy. but in an ele-
ment OF which no account was
taken when hostilities We're be-
gun. 1t is beginning to be appar-
ent that the Servians and Bull
gars took note only of the mill
tary conditions in Turkey and no
note of the fact that sanitary
measures were as necessary as
guns, and, with the Turks, the
conquerors are feeling the effect
of the new element-the cholera.
which has broken out in the two
camps and is decimating the
strangers in equal if not in
greater degree than the Turks.
The latest news is not en-
couraging to either army. The
Turks were not prepared in san
itary precautions md neither
were the invaders, and both are
paying the penalty. More than
that, while the sympathy of the
Christian world is against the
Turks, it is to be admitted that
the civilization of all the
countries engaged in war could
be greatly improved and height
eued. So the dreadful scrouge
of the cholera may determine
the outcome of the efforts for
peace much more speedily and
effectively than diplomacy.
And there are other considera-
tons.
The American family, the
American municipality and the
American rural regions have a
call on them to exercise the
greatest care and the greatest
activity in sanitary measures.
The streets of the city and the
country lanes must receive at
tention. So must the collection
and the disposition of garbage
and offal and waste. Preventive
measures are the effective
measures. There are other
things for which preparations
must be made than war, and the
victorious Servians and Bulgars
are finding it out to their dread
full cost. There is no need for
alarm in this country-but there
is need for preventive measures
in the cleaning-up way.-Owens-
boro Messenger.
