Peru.

Peru In the abundance of her min
erals is the real treasure chest OF South
America. The country has territorial
extension of upward of 100000 square
miles. Callao, the chief port, by the
ocean route through the Panama canal
is within 200 miles as near to New
York as Is the City of Mexico by rail.
The Amazon port of Iquitos, 210O
miles from Para, is reached in shorter
time by steamers from New York than
by the overland journey from Lima,
the capital. The country, which has
about 100000 inhabitants, Is divided
into three distinct zones, with as many
varieties of climate, products and soil
These are the coast zone, the sierra or
mountain zone, which includes the
great tablelands and valleys of the
Andes, and the montanic or forest re
gion, which stretches from the eastern
slopes of the Andes to the vast river
basin Of the interior. Peru's resources
are both agricultural and mineral
The principal agricultural export prod
ucts are rubber, cotton, cane sugar and
alpaca WOOL Exchange.

HAVE YOUR PULLETs IN SHAPE

It soon will be too late to get your
pullets in shape for winter laying A
pullet started off In good shape just
before cold weather sets in is pretty
apt to keep on laying all winter if she
gets at least reasonable treatment.
If, however, on the other hand cold
weather strikes them before they are
in shape to lay, they will have two
things to do aside from laying, viz:
growing and maturing and also keep.
ing warm. 1t is also well to keep in
mind the fact that at this time natural
feed is beginning to get scarce and
that this is just the time the pullets
require animal matter with which to
finish out their bodies and start up the
egg machinery. Bugs. worms and in.
sects are not SO plentiful, therefore, it
Is well to offer some animal feed as a
substitute. If you cannot get anything
else, commercial beef scrap can al.
ways be purchased. The following

i NICHOLAS SCHMITz,

Sinking Smut in wheat has proven
itself to be serious disease in many
sections of the State, often causing as
much as rs or 80 per cent. damage, and
decrease in price Of the wheat Of
from 10 to Is cents per bushel is not
uncommon. This smut spreads by the
threshing machine and by otherwise
handling the grain.
The treatment for Sinking Smut Is
simple. Before commencing the treat
ment remove all unbroken smut
balls" and since these balls are much
lighter than the sound grain, thorough
tanning will usually do this. But ii
not, then the grain should be poured
into barrel Of cold water and thor
ughly stirred so that all the balls will
come to the surface, where they can
be SKINNED of.
To treat the seed for this smut, buy
from druggist guaranteed formalin
(40% solution Of formaldehyde) and
pour one pint Of it into 40 or 80 gallons
of water and mix thoroughly. This
amount of solution should be enough
for treating 40 or SO bushels of wheat
Spread the seed out thinly over a
floor and apply the solution with a
sprinkling can or with spray pump

ton is being applied the grain should

The most attractive of the new

long straight lines that belong to the
semifitting princess, and by the in
SEPARATION of the Russian blouse. Com
binations of two materials in the same
gown are worked out in one-piece
frocks made Of cloth and silk, or cloth
and velvet. Buttons and braids and
sashes of the same fabrics as the
gown appear with such frequency that
they are assured place in the COM
ing seasons fashions.
In suits there are numbers of Sc
verely plain and perfectly tailored de-
signs, the coats semifitting, with the
skirt portion showing ripple OF full

these. The skirts, while amply full,
are not decidedly flaring but they are
decidedly short.
The Russian idea is developed with
fine success in the various pile fabrics
used for dressier suits. Many novel

fur cloths, as well as plain velvet,
promise much for the popularity of
this style.

SQUIRREL AND KITTEN PLAY
Game Of Hunting and Being Hunted
Watched on Lawn in MeIrose
Billie Saves His Dinner

In some sections of Melrose the gray
squirrels have been petted and fed to
such an extent that they do not hest
tate to enter houses in search of nuts
and dainties. 1t is common to see as
many as half dozen of these squir-
rels playing about the lawns at one
time, and they seem almost to have
lost their fear of mankind.
The other day an odd incident was
witnessed in which one of these squir-
rels figured. His squirrelship, locally
known as Billie" was engaged in for
aging for some of the nuts he had
cached in the grass on lawn near a
huge oak. He was seen by a playful
maltese kitten about three months old.
When it noted the squirrel, the be-
ribboned kitten became all attention
Then, nature asserting itself, the kitten
crouched and began to stalk it's quarry.
Billie was perfectly aware of the
kittens proximity, and with one eye
watched its attempt at stealthy ap-
proach, while with the other and his
nose he proceeded with his search.
The kitten appearel puzzled at the
boldness of the squirrel and it's curl
osity became aroused to such an ex-
tent that it neglected it's crouch and
arose to it's full kitten height better
to see what the squirrel was doing in
the grass.
Then as the squirrel paid no atten-
ton to it, the kitten slowly walked
over to within two feet of the squirrel.
Billie had secured his nut and calmly
sat upright to open it.
Without preliminary crouch the
kitten jumped for the squirrel Billie
leaped at the same instant, but went
clear over the back of the kitten. When
the squirrel came to the ground two
feet away, it at once resumed it's eff
fort to open the nut.
That was play the maltese could ap-
preciate. 1t crouched wiggled it's
slick length, leaped and sailed grace
fully over the squirrel. The latter
dropped his nut, but otherwise cid not
move until the kitten again came to.
ward him, when in his turn ne jumped
over it. AS he landed the little mall
tese ran for him, and he ran round
and round the kitten, purely in play
and without apparent fear.
For nearly three minutes the pair
kept up their antics. Then suddenly
there was a black streak from the
flower bed as an older kitten rushed
for the squirrel. But Billie knew his
ground and his rush carried him six
feet up the trunk of the friendly oak
by the time the older kitten was at its
base.
Then Billie hung, head down, tail
flirting, and in his squirrel way gave
that black kitten piece of his mind.
After five minutes of vain waiting for
him to come down, the two kittens de-
cided they must delay their attack and
adjourned for a romp of their own.
They were scarcely Is feet from the
tree when Billie leaped down, secured
his nut and scampered back up to a
sheltering limb of the oak to enjoy it
in peace.-Boston Globe.
