POISONS FOUND
IN SOME PLANTS
Bundles of OxaIate Crystals Are
Offensive to Rabbits and
SnailS.
Rv MYRLE IRoNs.l

The part played by the powerful
chemical substances secreted in the
various parts of many plants is i'm
perfectly understood. Free prussic
acid in some plants was the remarkA
able discovery made not long ago,
and now Professor Peche has con-
cluded that in the cherry laurel this
poison is stored in various tissues as
reserve plant food. Other German
biologists have been seeking to prove
that various plant poisons give pro-
lection against enemies. Results
have been obtained by Prof. w. Pey-
er tending to show that the various
acids. oils. alkaloids, glucosides, and
other chemicals of plants are poison
Gus or offensive to rabbits. snails.
insects, and other creatures. In the
pastures the plants yielding medicinal
oils are avoided by both grazing and
wild animals. The acid bearing plants
such as are used for human food as
salads, are poisonous to snails and
slugs, and are protected nearly as
effectually against rabbits. Beans.
peas and lentils contain some un-
known poison that causes rabbits and
mice to refuse the seeds until the
active principle has been removed by
several washings. An acid product. of
seeding roots-such as maize. oats
and rye-repels snails. as do hairy
stalks and sticky surfaces. and plants
having bundles of calcium oxalate
crystals are offensive or poisonous not
only to rabbits and snails but even to
man.

ANDERSON WAS WELCOMED BY JAPAN

The official records Of the state
department completely disprove the
published statement that Larz Ander-
son of this city was found persona
non grata and was refused recogni-
tion as United States ambassador at
Toxic. On the contrary. Mr.. Ander-
son was welcomed with the greatest
cordially, and he and Mrs. Anderson
were received in their official capaci-
ties by the emperor with the utmost
formality and with impressive cere-
mony. They were conveyed from the
embassy to the imperial palace in
one of the royal equipages with
large escort OF splendidly appareled
Japanese troops and officials OF high
degree. That recognition was accord
ed with a full knowledge on the part
of the Japanese government OF tho
probable short continuance of Mr..
Anderson in the ambassadorial office.

administration.

States Bureau of Farm Management)
Near the larger cities it would prob
ably be better to grow some of the
more perishable truck crops and to
keep one horse for marketing pur-
poses, but in most country places the
system as outlined here would be more
satisfactory and would require only
two horses.
In addition to four cows and two
horses the owner of such a farm could
keep one or two brood sows and fifty
hens.
Assuming that the farmer under
stands his business and is on a soil
and in a region adapted to the type
of farming here outlined, it ought to
be possible on such a farm to secure
an income somewhat as follows: The
five acres Of potatoes ought to pro-
duce five hundred bushels at least and
If the man is a good potato grower
the field can be made to average more
than two hundred bushels.
One ought to average at least fifty
cents bushel for the potatoes. This
would make $3.50 for this field The
three acres of cabbage ought to pro-
duce $500, and the two acres of
onions ought to produce $780, The
onions require a good deal more work
than the other crops, hence. the
smaller acreage of them. After the
.arm is started the farmer must be
guided by his experience, and 1t
might prove wise to put the entire
dve acres in onions. provided labor is
>vailable.
If the four COWS kept are good ones
and the farmer is not justified in
keeping any other kind-one of them
ought to furnish dairy produce for the
family, and the other three, If prop
erly managed. ought to produce sew
enty-five dollars worth of dairy prod
ucts apiece a year, making two hun
dred and twenty-five dollars income
from the dairy.
1t ought to be possible to produce
twelve pigs to sell at an average price
of fifteen dollars each. making one

CONDUCTORS REWARDED
BY PULLMAN COMPANY

A remarkable record was made by
the Pullman conductors operating out
Of Houston during the year 1872 for
which some Of them are now receiv-
ing the reward OF merit.
II is the custom with the Pullman
company to present each conductor
and porter having a clear record for
service at the end Of the year. an ex-
ira months salary at the regular rate
of pay. in accordance with the time
in service
The record Of each employe is as
sessed by demerit marks for offenses
that are considered justifable. These
may be removed during the progress
of the year by continued good ser
vice unbroken by the assessment OF
their records. and il the year is closed
with clear record the employe with
such standing receives the extra
month.
Ten Houston conductors are now
receiving their extra month for the
year 1912. and the average record OF
all the men operating out Of this
city is 81 per cent. perfect. This
breaks all previous records for this
point, and stands we'll up to the tor
for proficiency.
Eleven porters running out OF
Houston received the extra month
and the record in this branch o. tho
service is in keeping with that Of the
