Pearl Culture a New Industry.

Pearl Culture a New Industry.
Among the interesting exhibits of
the Japanese in the Manufacturers
Palace at the Panama.Pacific Interna-
tional Exposition is demonstration
of the methods and results Of pearl
cultivation in the far East The dis
plays of this cultivated product, show
ing hundreds of pearls which until
pearl culture was placed on a com
mercial basis few years ago would
have been the possessions of royalty,
will delight any lover. of beautiful
gems, and the methods of production
will prove interesting to any OBJ
server. Though pearl culture has be-
come thriving industry in Japan, at
tempts to reproduce it in other parts
Of the world have yielded but meager
results.
The successful method Of propaga-
ton was evolved by the Japanese sci
enlist Kokichi Mikimoto, who discov-
cred a species Of oyster which pro-
duced the pearl on the surface of the
shell. Though the finding of the oys-
ters and inserting the nuclei, then
waiting for the pearl to grow to a
commercial size may seem a simple
process, the fact that it has not re-
duced the price of the gems, even to
that of the most expensive limitations,
shows that it is beset with many diff
culties.

Ject it to the rough treatment it will
receive

A Record Bunch of Grubs.

Clarence Lauer of Eldorado, son
of Henry Lauer, has probably estab-
lished a record as the discoverer OF
grub worms. He recently noticed a
cucumber plant in the garden that
had a sickly look, atnd to learn what
was the matter he dug the plant up
and found 2S0 grub worms in the
hill. They made a tomato can al
most full. The replanted cucumber
plant then took heart and began to
thrive. All observers report this to
be a year of great abundance Of all
kinds of worms and insects. The
ground is full of destructive life

HORSES KILLED BY MUSTY HAY
DIR. Gibson Watching Foot and
Mouth Disease Territory.

Des Moines, Aug. 16.-Some cas-
es of horses dying from forage poi
soning caused by eating musty hay
have been reported to the state
veterinarians office. Farmers should
be cautious about letting their hor-
ses eat musty hay, says that office.
DR.. Gibson, state veterinarian, is
now on a tour through the eastern
part of the state inspecting all of
the district formerly infected by he
foot and mouth disease. So far he
has found no trace of any more
trouble and the utmost precautions
are being taken against any further
outbreak. The appearance of the
disease in Illinois and in some parts
of New York state are causing the
state officials here to take extra
precautions again. The railroads
may be required to disinfect cars.

Breeds of Poultry,

Poultry men, especially beginners, spend too much time on selecting a breed.
 Select and breed healthy fowls and avoid mopsy, crow headed specimens The pure or thoroughbred fowls are d great deal better than mongrels.
 The American Poultry association recognizes eleven classes of poultry The four most important are the Asi- atic, American, English and Mediter- ranean.
 The Asiatic breeds consist of Brah- mas Cochius and Langshans.
 The American classes arc the Rhode Island Reds, Plymouth Rocks and Buckeyes.
 The Mediterranean classes are the egg machines, which are Leghorns, Ainorcas and -Anconas
 The English class is the Crping- ton.
 \ bullet that lays sixty eggs before the first of March is sure to lay one hundred and fifty more before the year IS out. Do not too closely inbred as it injures the flock
 All hens you select for breeders should have large, red combs and wat ties.
 Trap nests are of great value for breeders who try to get q heavy lay ing strain.
 Some good hints to remember. are:
 Give the hens plenty of water dry mash and Oyster shells.

Hasn't Forgot Christmas. Dear Uncle Jed: We haven't forgot Christmas yet
 One Christmas at school the teacher said if we were bad we would not have Christmas concert,
 A little while before Christmas came she asked us if we wanted a Christmas tree or a Christmas box We all wanted 9, Christmas tree. Then she gave US pieces. There were many kinds of pieces I had one about Santa Claus.
 When, the day came for the tree we were all happy.
 Another girl and I were to trim the Christmas tree. It did not take long to trim the tree. Tn the morning all of the children came and saw the presents.
 Then we went on with our school work When the afternoon came yse had some fun.
 After we had our concert Santa Claus appeared and all were very glad to see him. He distributed the presents.
 We then had a few hours to go skating, and a crowd Of girls and boys went skating on the pond we called Davis pond. We skated little while and then went home to do our work.

anything he did not believe, and if he was not satisfied that a law case was just he would not defend it.
 In 1884 Lincoln was elected a mem- Der of the state legislature, and in 1S46 he was elected a member of the United States congress: in this posi- ton he distinguished himself by op- posing the Mexican war.
 In 1858 he was a candidate for the position of United States senator.
 Lincoln was not chosen, but he gained for himself a wide reputation for ability, sound sense and honesty to make a speech in the largest hall in the city of New York. The subject was Slavery in the United States
 It is not strange that when the con- vention of the republican party. met, soon after, to choose q. candidate for president, Abraham Lincoln was nom mated. He was elected, and the for rner backwoods boy, rail splitter, coun- try storekeeper, surveyor and lawyer became president of the United States.
 On April II, 1865, only four days af- ter Lees surrender, Lincoln was shot by an assassin, and rejoicing over the coming of peace was changed to the deepest mourning.
 The whole country had come to re- gard Abraham Lincoln as worthy of the highest confidence; he had in- spired such admiration and affection as had been given to no ono except Washington.
 His loss was n1ourned over the whole world as that of a devoted patri- ct and 3 good and great man.

Rise of phntnnranI,v

It was inevitable that the war would produce some industrial sur prises and oddities; yet it will seem strange to the man in the street that on of the trades which has prospered, especially on the Continent, is that of photography. Putting press pf1otogra- phy aside, war does not suggest it. self as a time when people would want specially to be photographed, and it is true that a good deal Of the work has been the result of necessity. In the beginning of the war, when every household in Western and Mid dle Europe was sending out some member, it was natural that those de-
 parting should, when possible, have been photographed for their relations. When they were gone they demanded photographs of wives, children CT sweethearts, 50 that there was a great trade in the manufacture of picture post cards to that end Then, when the trade might have languished. the

 About a hundred feet away from the pond it was so muddy we had to walk on boards. When we got there we found an old boat So we pushed out in fl. It did not leak much.

Abraham Lincoln.

Abraham Lincoln was born in a log cabin in Kentucky on Feb. T.. 1909.
 When he was seven years old they moved to Indiana, There they lived in a very rude log cabin It had only three sides. The fourth side was open and there was no floor. Abraham s bed was in the loft. It was made of dry leaves which he gathered You would be surprised at all the work he could do when he was ten years old, for he was very strong. He did not go to school long, for his father needed him to help him. But Abe was. eager to learn His mother taught him all she knew. He did sums on a wooden shovel with a piece of charcoal for a pencil. He liked to read.
 Some of the books he liked to read were Aesops Fables The Life Of Wash ington, and the Bihle. His mother died and his father married again. When he was older they moved to H. linois.
 While working in his store he won the name of Honest Abe He studied law and became q good lawyer.
 In iS46 he was 8. member of con gress.
 He was made president of the United States in 1861. At that time the Civil war began between the north and south. The southern people wanted slavery, but the people of the north did not. Lincoln took the side of the north.
 In 1863 he issued the Emancipation Proclamation which freed all the ne groes in the United States. The war ended in 1S65
 Lincoln was shot in q theatre on April II. 1865. by 8 man named Booth.
 Then there was great mourning all over the country for everybody loved and respected this great good man.

He will bring his toys, for he has toys to play with just as if he was a child. It is fun to see him coax you to play with him.
 He has d ball. a square. fiat pillow, made of bed ticking and stuffed with something soft; these are his toys. He will drop the ball at your feet and wait for you to throw it: then off he flies to catch it and bring it back.
 He takes the pillow. and keeps one end Of it in his mouth: he looks up in your face and pleads for you to play a game. But if you try to take the pillow from his mouth then Pepper is Pepper indeed. He pulls, and shakes and growls, and looks as if he would fly out of his skin. When you let go he runs off with his prize, as full of joy as he can be.
 Pepper is fed in the dining room. He has a bowl of his own, and to keep the floor clean q cloth is spread He has learned to set the table for him self He knows when 1t is rneaI-tirne as well as the cook.
