Food cooked in the oven rather

more palatable, according to some

for cooking on top of the stove, then
placed in the oven, where 1t will re-

culture in bulletin recently issued,
that the commercial cultivation In
certain portions of the United
States may prove extremely profit

tannin and lumber, the department
goes on to say, they are we'll adapted
to the reclamation of sandy and semi
desert lands, some species being able
to thrive with only three inches Of
rainfall.
All told, there are about $50 species
of acacias, 300 of which are Australian
species and the rest scattered over the
world, principally in Asia, Africa and
America
In addition to tannin and timber.
many of the acacias produce valuable
by.products. The widely known gum
arabic is derived principally from the
Arabic acacia, though also from a
number of Asiatic and African desert
species. Clutch, an astringent gum in
constant demand, is another acacia
product. Many other kinds Of gums
are yielded by different acacia species.
The flowers of still another species,
known as cassie, yield a perfume, the
manufacture of which at Grasse,

dustry, is very profitable. A full

to knowledge Of the probable weather
conditions, and for this reason he be-

He saw this instrument in my tent,
borrowed 1t from me, and then found
1t impossible to give 1t up. He kept
1t longer time each time he Dor
rowed it, until at last he failed to re-
turn 1t at all. When I was about to
leave the army, asked him again and
again to return it. and | finally be-
came so pressing that he said he
would go to his tent and fetch it out.

Half sulphur almost bright as gold,
And half molasses, black and old;

Would open mouth with many

And down our outlets swift would go
That sulphur and molasses.
They said it kept the chills away,
Prevented billius fever's sway,
Would make the liver hump and get
And keep the blood out of fret;
Would make the stomach feel at

Free of poison-laden gases;

Good gracious! it was bad to take,
And awful faces we did make,
But 'twia'n't no use to beg nor cry

To put the system in good trim,
Instead of pills and other masses.
