PLANTING SUGAR Cane,

Sugar cane is planted, not sown. A
small piece of the cane, long enough
to include two or three of the rings,
or nodes, is laid lengthwise, or stuck
in a slanting direction, along a fur
row which runs the length of the
field. In some sections the primitive
fashion of planting in holes is still en-
ployed. When the trench is planted
the pieces of cane are lightly covered
with earth. In a few weeks they show
growth above the ground, the germ
buds at the rings having begun to
shoot out in the form of young cane,
the ring having at the same time
thrown out rootlets into the soil. The
parallel trenches are made far enough
apart, say at least three feet, to en-
able the workers. when the wide
spreading canes are getting ripe, to
go between the rows and remove the
dying leaves which burden the ripen-
ing cane, thereby enabling the naked
cane to mature faster.

GOES THROUGH THE MOTIONS
But Smokers viii Wonder How That
TobaceoIess Pipe Must Taste
to Him.

M. Maeterlinck is among those who
have freed themselves from the, bond
age of tobacco by means of a curious
artifice. According to his biographer,
M. Gerard Harry, without the help
of tobacco he seemed incapable of re-
ceiving inspiration or crystallizing it
in words. II he has not overcome the
need, he has outflanked it. Smoking,
he noticed, had lost its virtue as a
stimulant, and instead Of rousing the
brain to activity, as at first. had come
to disturb its functions; so now, in
lieu Of ordinary tobacco, he fills his
bowl with a denicotinized preparation.
tasteless indeed, but harmless. His
pipe is still always alight when the
pen is busy, but 1t is hardly more now
than a mere subterfuge intended to
cheat and so satisfy an irresistible
mechanical craving. London Chron-
