REGION IN AMAZON
Brazilian Traveller Sees More
Here Than in Africa.
Declares Big Game 10 Plentiful and
Many Virgin Rubber Forests Are
to Be Found Far From
Civilization.

Rio de Janeiro, Braxil.-ln speaking
of the wonders and the resources Of
the Amazon region in Brazil in con-
nection with the International Rub
Der Exhibition which was held at the
Grand Central Palace Dr.. Louis Weiss
said:
MY knowledge and acquaintance
with this most interesting region has
extended over a period OF twelve
years. On one of my expeditions l
neve left my canoe for over two and
one-half years. all Of which time was
spent on the Amazon and its count
less tributaries. and yet I did not be.
gin to touch upon all the wonderful
possibilities of these mighty water
courses.
"As long as we need rubber we
must get the pest from Brazil. There
are still many virgin rubber forests
that very few Brazilians have any
idea Of. At the present time they col
lect rubber along only the rivers and
very few go further than two or three
miles from the rivers. Ninety per
cent. Of the rubber forest is yet un-
IouSHSu. VI Oil Ihc oIotSo,
AmaZonas is the greatest producer OF
rubber. 1t is the largest state in Bra.
I'll and has more than three times the
area Of Texas. 1t Is one of the most
interesting regions in the world and
many parts are yet unexplored and
unknown.
"On the Amazon River, with its
countless tributaries, a man can
travel in his canoe for months and
for years, procuring all his necessary
food supplies daily from h streams
and the forests in great abundance
and in great variety.
"The most wonderful fruits grow In
the forest from which one can make
the best Of drinks in a few minutes by
processes which can be quickly learn
ed from the natives, thus furnishing
both food and drink. On exploration
trips, when we stopped any length OF
time in a place, 1 would, take my gun,
knife and flint and for days, even
weeks, at a time go off into the for
ests and yet invariably come back q
few pounds heavier.
THE whole Amazon is like a ZOO
logical garden without a gate. Along

the banks of the rivers or in the
woods Of the Amazonas, with a gun
and fishing tackle. the traveller can
at the same time cast a hook for fish
and shoot monkeys, reptiles and am
phibians and innumerable varieties OF
birds, When one first hears the how
ling monkeys (Stentor guaribas) from
a great distance he thinks at once Of
lions, the sound greatly resembling
the roar of hat animal. The flesh Of
some monkeys makes very good eat
ing. Alligator steaks are also very
good. Fried caterpillar is another
dainty, but I never liked caterpillars
hroiled. Smoked ants are another
delicacy.
"If the traveller does not care for
these dishes he a have turtle in
many varieties-large, small, water or
forext-and also large or small turtle
eggs. There are over a hundred va
rieties of fowls, fish and other game
suitable for food. The tapir also is
eaten and makes a very fine dish
when smoked with the hide on. 1t
tastes like beef, and the longer the
meat is smoked the better it is. At
the last it gets soft, like liver sausage.
In the tropics all big game meat must
be cooked with the skin on, else it
will be tasteless and tough.

End View.

We know of some instances where
common lath has been used, but it
seems to us better to use the lath made
from one-half-inch material.
The 2x4's will not need In sort OF
iron hoops. The inside sheeting and
the beveled lath are strong enough to
resist all lateral pressure. If inch
lumber is used and lath as suggest
ed, it would be we'll to put on the
outside some wooden hoops three feet
apart. These hoops may be nailed to
the 2x4s.
The capacity Of the silo is sufficient
for Is milk cows. We believe that a
silo II feet in diameter and 80 % 80
feet high would be almost bette: to
construct, for it is necessary to &C.
move about one and one-half to TITO
inches of silage per day, especially N
summer, if 1t is to be kept in good
condition.

TOM MOORE IN BERMUDA
Irish Poet Wrote Verses to caiabash

Observation-Disclosures tourists In the

Beef is high, but butter and cream

Beet is high, but butter and cream
are higher.
Silage may be fed the day after the
silo is filled.
Thoughtful dairymen will keep up
the milk flow this fall.
Back of many a shortage in the
dairy business is a poor sire.
Separating cold milk means that
some cream will remain in the skim
milk.
Dirty calf pals are one sign that
the calves are not getting care
enough.
If the hired man is careful with the
COWS a few of his faults may be over
looked.
To get rich milk is possible for the
average farmer, but it must be through
breeding.
To get top prices for farm crops,
try selling them to the dairy COW or
the shoat.
A good many COW stables resemble
hotels. They have both ".roomers' and
''boarders."
Shade, water and good grass are
three essentials for profitable milk
production.
It is highly important to feed pro-
ducing COWS some concentrated feeds
in connection with pa%sturage and
roughage.
You are making your dairy cows
now while the heifer calves are less
than a year old. Be liberal with shel-
ter. liberal with all sorts of kindness.

AFTER HE HAD COUNTED THEM
His Companions Safe, Philadelphia
Man Was Satisfied That He Had
Really Shot BUCK.

Thomas Martindale, the Philadel-
phia moose hunter, said, apropos OF
the opening of the deer season:
Buck fever is a strange disease.
The victim of 1t does some remark
able things.
"A Philadelphia was deer hunting
in Maine. He shot four or five shots
into a thick copse, and then he
shouted:
"'All Of you come out Of there!
HALF a dozen sportsmen issued
from the copse hurriedly.
Are you all out?' said the Phila-
delphian. One, two, three. four.
Where's Jake? Oh, there you are.
Jake. Are you all out, sure?'
Yes they answered. We're all
out; the whole party's out
"'Hurrah, them shouted the Phila-
delphian. 'Hurrah! I've shot a
buck!'"

ANTS DRIVE BUGS TO WORK
Send Them Out to Gather Food Vines
and Then TAP" Them for the
Juice.

Springfield. Mass.-State Forester
w. F. Gale offers cumulative evidence
concerning the ~proverbial wisdom of
the ant. Owners of gardens have been
troubled by armies of green bugs
which suck the juice from pea vines.
In the wake of these green bugs come
thousands of black ants, which tap
the bugs and extract the sweet juice
which the bugs have drawn from the
plants.
The operation is apparently harm
less to the bugs, which, disheartened
by such highway methods, depart
from the gardens, invariably followed
by the persistent ants. Forester Gale
says he has seen a bug fall from a pea
vine, only to be seized by some Wig
liant ant and carried back to its perch
again to get more juice for the n

to his racial instinct, didn't forego that
browning completion Of manhood, the
taking of a wife.

but he was married at the time that
half the grand DANES of the social
cenacle were making soft eyes to

biography, signalized the union in
these significant words:
"She proved the best Of wives, re-
ceiving from her husband the hon.
age Of a lover from the our of their
nuptials to that of his dissolution"
The equal Of this testimony can hard
ly be found in literary unions; the
