LAND OFFICES MAY

Interior Department has Schema to Consolidate Various Bureaus
 Under One Administration,

In senate document No 375 is found
 the subject matter of proposed
 change in the administration methods
 of the interior department. which
 will interest Arizona and all the
 western states. The alleged purpose of the move is greater economy in
 administration. IL has been sug- SeSted, however. the new plan would
 make such economy hardship and will retard the development of the west
 | This document is letter from
 Samuel Adams. acting secretary of
 the interior. to NJ. G. Cunniff. pres ident of the senate. It refers to a
 plan to consolidate the work of sur. | veyinS, map making. and graphic l reproduction, conducted by the diff
 ferent bureaus of the department. into
 one bureau. the geological survey. At
 the present time there is surveying
 of one kind or another by the land
 office, the reclamation service. and 1 the office of Indian affairs. The fear
 has been expressed that if all this
 is thrown into the geological survey the work will be delayed Naturally
 settlers on government land and those
 desiring 10 patent mining claims are
 greatly interested It is said delay will be caused in the compleXity oi
 field work and also from the fact
 that all business shall be transacted
 in Washington through correspon- | dence
 1 It is understood the plan is to | establish a new bureau of which the | geological survey shall be the nucleus
 10 be called the United States sur vey. It is to include not only sur veying bureaus mentioned but the
 coast and geodetic survey etc. The | argument is that as the geological
 survey now surveys the government
 land in its contour work it will be | more economical to have it also to make the rectangular surveys re- ! quired for settlers on government land and applicants for mineral pat ents. Under the plan proposed it is | said that work which now takes two or three months may take sev- eral times as long.
 It is claimed more time will be expended in making two surveys and | in getting the engineers into action: also to finish the business in con- | nection with titles. Although nothing 1 is stated to that effect in the dOcu- | ment, it is said the proposed con- solidation would mean the abolition of the surveyor generals office in the various western states

have russell markings that are large,

stem may be long, medium or short;
slender. stout or feshy. Sometimes
variety will have stems of all these
descriptions. but they are generally of
one type. The depression at the calyx
or blossom end of an apple is called
the basin. 1t may be regular, irreg-
ular, waved, furrowed or knobby;
deep, medium, shallow or wanting;
wide or narrow; marked with russell
either cracked or smooth. The calyx
may be open or closed; with the Sc

The surface is smooth. rough. bloomed
or russeted. The color. yellow, green,
blushed. red striped and with all pos
sible variations of intensity and light
ness of shadings, nothing, splashings
and suffusions. The dots are very
characteristic and quite constant.
They are numerous or scattering;
large or small; dark or light; round
or pointed; with light, dark. green and
sometimes on raised bases. The skin
may be thick and tough or thin and
tender. The flesh is yellow, white or
stained with red and very rarely pink
throughout; and its texture may be
fine or coarse; firm, tender or soft;
and in weight light or heavy. The
core may be large, medium or small;
conical, round or oblate; open or
closed; meeting or separate from the
tube. The calyx tube large or small;
long or short. Axial diameter long or

the flavor, which are termed Sections.
of which there are two. Section / in

Section those that are subacid CT

Subsections. The first of these in

cases, but never striped. BY this sys-

EXCELLENT FEED
FOR THE CHICKS
Hard Boiled InfertiIe EGGS,
Ground An Meat Chopper
and Mixed with
Bran are Good.

CBy PROF. w. A. LIPPINCOTT. Kansas
Agricultural college)
An excellent food for the chicks lie
made in this way: Take the infertile
eggs-those that have been tested out
of the incubator-hard boil them, and
grind in an ordinary meat chopper.
Mix this with bran and moisten with
water. If you have some old. dry
bread which has not become moldy 1t
may be crumbled and added to the
bran and ground eggs. Do not make
the feed sloppy or the chicks may
gorge themselves.
Many other good feeds, such as fine
cracked corn. cracked wheat. cracked
kaflr and steeIcut oats may be fed.
Milk curd and beef scraps make a
good change In the food. These two
supply to the chick about the same
food clements it would get by eating
insects and worms.
Charcoal, fine grit or finely ground
bone should be kept where the little
chickens can get 1t. If 1t is possible.
they should be kept on a grassy plot.
and If not, green stuff should be sup
piled them. Alfalfa is the best for
this. and may be given them occa-
sionally.

Free the outlets from all but the

One of the readers has asked me to
Hanalyze an apple. giving the names
and descriptions Of the various parts"
To anyone who is interested in sclen-
tifc pomology this is quite necessary
to be well understood, writes H. E.
Van Deman in the Rural New Yorker.
For the benefit of the general reader.
will try to make the analysis as
plain as can be, thus serving, II posi-
BILE, both the scientifically inclined and
the more ordinary worker with fruits.
An apple is known in science as a
pome, which Is fruit that contains
Its seeds In capsules surrounded by
a fleshy pulp. Other examples of the
PONIES are the pear, ounce, wild haw-
thorn fruits and those of the rose. All
of these have five capsules containing
the seeds, which together compose the
core. In making a scientific or po-
biological description of an apple we
begin with the outward appearances.
There have been various systems or
methods Of classification by pomol-
ogists for centuries past. Some of
them have been very curiously. not to
say absurdly. founded on certain real
or imaginary characteristics. while
others were quite reasonable and prac.
tical. The best of them all. according
to my judgment. is the system devised
and published by DR.. John A. Warder,
Of Ohio, In his American Pomology.
The first divisions In his classification
are based upon the shape Of the YER
teal sections and are four in number:
Glass l. Oblate or Flat; Glass II. Con-
ical; Glass III. Round or Globular;
Glass w. Oblong. Next comes the
shape of the cross or transverse sec
lions, called Orders, of which there
are two. Regular and Irregular. The

FINE FISH AND FRESH.

Herring a la Russo: Take four very
soft-roed herrings. Get the fish mon
ger to bone them for you. In the
center of each place a big teaspoonful
OF French mustard and bit OF butter.
Dust lightly with black pepper and
put in a well buttered bag. Add to
them half wineglassful of either
hook OF sherry and half a wine
glassful of either shallot or tar
ragon vinegar. as preferred. Cook
for fifteen to eighteen minutes,
according to the thickness of
the fish, in a moderately hot oven.
Dish up on hot dish and serve with
a beet salad. This is a most appetite
ing way of cooking behring's. but must
be done in the bag If 1t is to be done
to perfection.
Smells MlIanaIse: Clean a dozen
smelts, roll them in flour. Put an
ounce of butter in a very hot dish, let
sprinkle with little cayenne pepper
and little grated Parmesan. and
place them side by side in a well but
tered paper bag. Cover lightly with
bread crumbs and pour little tomato
sauce over each smeh. Seal up and
cook for eight minutes In very hot
oven. Serve with slices of lemon.
Fresh Herring: Slit the fish on
each side in a horizontal direction.
Place on 1t little mace, bay leaves.
parsley, a small piece Of onion and
some salt and pepper. Add two table
spoonfuls OF vinegar. Place in pa
per bag, seal up. put on the broiler
in a moderate oven for twenty min
