DistillatiOn Experiment
in Douglas Fir Is Begun

r HE District Forester at Portland, Or,
/ that the forest service has
Just begun. at their semi-commercial dis
t~illation plant at the University of Wash
ington, Seattle, an exhaustive series of
experiments in an endeavor to settle, for
all time, the feasibility of distilling. not
only Douglas fir sawmill waste, but also
Douglas fir stumps.
For many years it has been advocated.
in the Douglas fir region, that the cost of
land clearing could be reduced by utiliz-
ing stumps through a process of distilla-
ton, and that an additional revenue could
be obtained by disposing Of mill waste
also by distillation. In spite of the fact
that the experimental work thus far done
has indicated but little or no margin for
profit, there is still a somewhat general
feeling that such distillation could be
made to pay under the right conditions, -
The forest service proposes to expert
ment not only with Douglas fir mill waste
and stumps, but also with Western yellow
pine. Preliminary experiments on theNlat-
ter indicate that the stumps and waste az
this species contain a higher percentage
of valuable products than Douglas fir.

Growing Field Peas on a Wheat Farm

the soil like clover or alfalfa because the
root growth is too scant.
4. Peas will aid in keeping more live
stock by furnishing green feed for soiling
during July and August or grain to be
hogged off, or high-class hay for Winter
feed.
5. To prepare for peas pillow deep in
the Fall, leave rough over Winter, pre-
pare deep, mellow seed bed as soon as
Spring opens.
g. For seed sow as early as ground can
be prepared, about two bushels per acre
with grain drill, seeding three to five
inches deep.
Z. If seed is not desired SOW one bushel
oats per acre among the peas one week
later, seeding shallow to avoid digging up
the peas.
8. Begin using peas for soiling (green
forage) when first pods are full grown.
3. Begin pasturing off with hogs when
peas are nearly all well formed.
10. Cut for hay when the oats are in
the stiff dough and first pea pods are
turning yellow, cure and handle like
clover.
II. Cut for seed when the bulk of the
peas are hard.
IL. A good crop of peas and oats on
good land, well prepared, will yield one
and 0ne-half to two and one-half tons of
cured hay per acre. A good crop of seed
will yield Is to 80 bushels per acre.
10. Peas leave the soil in nice condition
to prepare for wheat without blowing.

The Origin OF ONYX,

When waters charged with carbonate
of calcium derived from limestone are
allowed to %evaporate they deposit their
load in the form Of sinter, or tufa. This
process can be observed at many thermal
and "petrifying' springs and also in the
formation Of stalactites and stalagmites
in limestone caverns. In this way large
masses of compact carbonate are formed,
some of them of great beauty.
The so-called onyx marbles" of which
the Mexican ''onyx' is a familiar example,
are formed in this way. Some rock of
this class is stalagmitic, In caverns, and
some Of it is formed by springs. It's
variations in color and texture, to which
its ornamental character is largely due,
are commonly produced by impurities or
inclusions, such as oxide of iron, or ever
mud and clay.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Cause and Remedy for Hens
Laying SOft-Shelled Eggs

THE frequent laying of soft-shelled eggs
! occasions a considerable market loss
in the Spring of the year. Mrs. Whitaker,
of the poultry department of the State
College of Washington, offers the follow
ing explanation of the causes and the
remedies:
The yolk of the egg is fully formed
when it breaks from the hens Ovary and
drops into the funnel shaped mouth of
the oviduct. 1t is at this point that fer
tilization Of the egg takes place, prob
ably within a few minutes of the break
ing loose of the yolk, and in about three
hours time the formation of the thicker
albumen is completed.
The next section of the Oviduct Sc
cretes the shell membrane which ordina-
rily requires about three hours. BY the
expansion and contraction of the walls of
the oviduct, the egg is forced forward
into the shell gland, where the lime of
the egg is deposited, and within IL to "a
hours the egg is laid. One can readily
see that anything that would have a tend
ency to make the egg pass too rapidly
through the lower two-third Of the owl
duct would cause the hen to lay soft
shelled eggs.
The first and usual cause of soft-shelled
eggs is that the bird is too fat. The mus
cular movement of the Oviduct is hind
cred by layers Of fat, and instead of the
egg being controlled by firm muscles it
merely slips through a flabby mass with
out getting its shell on.
The difficulty will vanish If the birds
are made to scratch hard in a clean, dry
straw litter for all their grain, and the
ration fed is not overwhelming. Sprouted
oats will be a valuable food, as they are
less fattening than either wheat or corn.
In some cases 1t might be advisable for
a few days to omit all mashes, especially
moist mashes, from the ration.
The second source of soft-shelled eggs
is lack of lime in the hens ration. In this
case the shell-secreting part of the owl
duct fails TODD its work because of lack
of material.
Clam shell is not so readily soluble as
oyster shell. What is commercially known
as beach shell Is preferable to clam shell.
1t is claimed by some pOultrymen that the
use of a limestone grit also helps to sup
ply shell material to the hen. 1t is often
recommended that old plaster be broken
up and thrown in a box in the pen for
birds to pick at as a source Of lime.
The third cause of soft-shelled Eggs is
the forcing of hens for too frequent egg
production. A second yolk breaks off
from the ovary and drops into the funnel
of the oviduct, and the first one is forced
too rapidly on its way for it to be COM
pletely formed when laid.
The fourth cause Of s~oft-shelled eggs
ONE from securing, that is, from feed
ing a too loosening ration to your birds.
Beets or mangels will sometimes produce
this result. The droppings, normally,
should be dark slate or dull black color,
firm enough to maintain a spiral shape
as seen on the dropping boards.

FOOD FOR STRANGER
SOUTH AFRICAN NATIVES HAVE
A HUMANE CUSTOM.
Field Is Set Aside on Which Supplies
Are Grown and Stored in Readl-
ness to Appease Hunger of
Chance Visitor.

In South Africa, among the natives,
there is a custom which has never
been mentioned by any, traveller in his
tales. In the Transkei, BasutOland and
Bechuanaland, nearly every fair-sized
village has field set aside for strang-
ers In a village where the king re-
sides, usually his chief wife is told of
to cultivate this field and store away
all the product In the upper part of
her hut, and If In any adjacent village
some chief woman is saddled with the
work, no man of the tribe is permitted
to touch any food thus stored.
The kings wife, or whoever culti-
Yates the land, takes her share of the
product and makes her living out of
1t, but all over and above the amount
actually consumed must be set aside
and preserved She may not trade
with any other wife of the king.
This field is known as the "Strang-
ers' Field" Whenever a stranger
comes to the village he makes known
his wants to the king and he is i'm
mediately relieved. The best hut in
the village is set apart for him, he
eats the food of the strangers field,
and the wife of the king prepares the
food for him with her own hand. He
remains a week, or month, or any
reasonable length of time, and his de-
parture is never fastened Sometimes
he stays long enough to become a
members of the tribe.
An amusing feature of this custom
Is the fact that INDECENT members of
the tribe occasionally leave the village
and go to other villages and become
strangers, so that very often when a
familiar face has been missed from a
certain village and anyone asks where
So-and-So went or what became OF
him., the inquirer has been gravely in
formed that So-and-So was poor and
became stranger Some lazy nren
go around from village to village, and
when they return to their original kraal
they spin the yarn that they have
been working in the mines! Then
again one often can run across So-and-
So in distant village living on the
fat of the land as stranger and be
ing treated to royal hospitality.
There are no beggars in Africa.
When a man becomes too poor to get
along comfortably he makes circuit
of the adjacent villages as stranger

LESSER INDIAN DEATH RATE
statistics Seem to Show That the Race
10 Beginning to Build
! Up Again.

The physical decline and the alarm
Ing death rate Of the American In
dian Of today Is perhaps the most seri-
GUS and urgent of the many problems
that confront him at the present time.
The death rate is stated by govern
ment officials at about thirty per thou
sand OF the popuiation-double the
average rate among white Americans.
From the same source we learn that
about seventy thousand In the United
States are suffering from trachoma. a
serious and contagious eye disease,
and probably thirty thousand have
tuberculosis in some form.
The death rate from tuberculosis Is
almost three times that among the
whites.
These are grave facts and cause
deep anxiety to the intelligent Indian
and to the friends Of the race.
Some hold pessimistic views looking
to its early extinction; but these are
not warranted by the outlook, for, in
spite OF the conditions named, the last
three censuses show slight but con-
tinuous increase in the total number
Of Indians.
Nor is this increase among mixed
bloods alone: the full-blooded Indians
are also increasing In numbers. This
indicates that the race has reached
and passed the lowest point Of it's de-
cline. and Is beginning slowly but sure
ly to recuperate.

Bees to EInht rroons.

placed hives of wild bees. partially

lifted the lids when touched by the
advancing troops, and swarms of infu-
rated bees, recovered from their tenn
porary stupor, were let loose on the at
tackers. The failure of the attack at
certain points is said to have been due
as much to this onslaught of the lit
