TN THESE days of the universal
globe-trotter few corners of the
earth escape intimate description.
No mountain is too high to be
climbed and no forest too dense to, be
threaded. Perhaps the most potent
barrier to invasion is dearth of water
and right at our door is little strip
of country that possesses so many of
the attributes of real desert that it
frowns away nearly every intruder,
writes L. Worthington Green in the
Los Angeles Times.
We know all about such places as
Death Valley, for no desert, certainly
one that is not big, can remain invio-
late, If 1t be surrounded by passable
country, as Death Valley is. But this
waste of which l shall speak has salt
water on one side and sufficiently diff
ficult mountains on the other, and it
is not at all easy to even get there.
1t is on the eastern side of Lower Cal
ifornia, about halfway down the pc
ninsula.
The entire middle section of Lower
California might be called a desert I;
1t is almost uninhabited, it's rainfall
is just above naught, and it's springs
Of water, nearly all very small, could
be told off on the fingers. But the
western part of that section is made
tOlernble by the trade winds from the
Pacific, and it is only the eastern part
that adds to its other qualifications
those of q torrid sun and breathless
atmosphere.
No official road crosses this middle
section; the mail goes from Ensenada
down to Santa Catarina, and comes up
from Santa Rosalia in the south as far
as Calmalli, leaving a broad strip of
untraversed country. Natives who
must travel up or down make use of
two main saddle trails; one trail

Uric Acid!

: Ever since the discovery of Scheele In
1775 that uric acid was found within the
body-most eminent physicians agree
that rheumatism is caused by it; also
many distressing symptoms as head
ache, pain in back, stomach distress,
swollen feet and ankles, gout, etc.
It was DR.. Pierce Of the Invalds' Hotel,
Buffalo, NY, who discovered new agent
called Anuric, a harmless remedy
that if taken before meals will carry off
the uric acid from the system and in
this way the pains and aches, the creaky
joints and all the distressing symptoms
of rheumatism and other maladies dis
appear. You can easily prove this your
self, by obtaining Anuric at almost any
drug store, or send DR.. Pierce 10c. for
trial package. Try it and be convinced
that Anuric is many times more active
than hthia and eliminates uric acid as hot
water melts sugar.

old plants lifted from the beds in the
autumn, or few tops may be taken
off the strongest of the young plants.
Inserted in light, sandy soil, they will
soon root on a shelf in a warm house.
Cuttings of ageratum, coleus, hello
trope, iresine, fuchsia, fibrous-rooted
begonia, etc, when required in guam
ity, should be inserted in a bed of sand
made up in propagating frame with
bottom heat.
Three inches of sand will be suffi-
cient, and if this is made firm, well
supplied with water and bottom heat
of Is to 80 degrees maintained, many
of the cuttings will be rooted in week
and ready for potting up singly in
small pots.
| Remaining in the sand such short
time, they can be dlbbled in close to-
gether.
Lobelias, alyssum,, can be increased
by the thousands in this way.
Provided there is a good stock OF
plants on hand, March is soon enough
to commence propagating.

In the sand below the caverns and
about the tinajas are to be found flint
arrowpoints and knives. One point

Only One Ranch There.
There is only one ranch in this des-
Olation, San Luis, but it is some ten
miles to one side of the road, and one
who is not informed would never sus-
pect its existence. In a rocky rincon
wells spring Of most excellent water,
which has always been sufficient for
two or three hundred head of cattle.
The spot is a veritable oasis, where
grass along the stretch of the canyon
springs up as if by magic and shrubs
remain green beyond a seeming possi-
bility. The cattle of the ranch prove
that, with an abundance of sweet wa
ter, animals may maintain a fairly
good condition by browsing on desert
shrubs, for on the surrounding noun
tains there is no grass whatever.
There are, however, other growths be-
sides shrubs, notably the mescal, upon
which cattle feed.
If the animals can find a place for
their muzzle between the sharp spines
of the mescal they greedily eat the rich
heart. Many miles of desert plain,
though it may furnish no feed for
stock, presents the foliage, with its
giant carbon, towering and tapering
cirio and ocotillo, garambullo and pi-
ITALIA.
Going in from the main road, just
before reaching San Luis, the trail
passes over bare hill which is strewn
with huge granite boulders and wind

State of Oman.

Oman is an independent state in
southeastern Arabia extending along a
coastline-sOutheast and southwest-of
almost 1000 miles from the Gulf of
Arminz and inland to the deserts.
Area, 1000 square miles; population
estimated at 100000, chiefly Arabs, but
there is strong infusion of negro
blood. Capital, Maskat, with about
24OOO population. Reigning sultan,
Scyyid Taimur bin Feysil, who sue
ceeded his father, October 5, 1913. In
land the sultan's authority is merely
nominal. Oman is really dependence
of the British government.

PRoPAGATING BY CUTTING
BvE VAN RENTHuYsEN,

Where thousands of plants are
grown for positions in the open air
during the summer, this is an impor-
tant operation from March onward.
Considerable forethought and know
ledge of the work are necessary to OBJ
tain the plants in suitable condition
and in sufficient numbers when the
time for planting out arrives.
Although decried by some, the scar
let geranium still has hosts of admir-
ers, especially since the introduction
Of so many beautiful varieties.
Cuttings of the varieties of which
The numbers are short can be inserted

be brought into the propagating house.
Placed on the stage, partly burying the
tubers in leaf mold, plenty of shoots
will soon push out. When these are
about three inches in length they
should be taken off with slight heel.
and if inserted in a sand bed they will
soon root.
Another method successfully adapt
ed for roofing dahlias is to make up a
hotbed yard in height, place frame
on this and plunge the pots of cut.

heat.
A list of the quantities of plants re-
quired should be made and the nuns

may save much trouble when the time
comes for planting out.

PLANT TREES AND sHRUBBERY

If you are planning to plant orna-
mental trees and shrubs, plant in
groups, always leaving an open space
for grass.

Many shrubs are more beautiful in
foliage than in flower, and some of
them carry their fruits through the
winter in bright colors.
In setting trees or shrubs, make a
hole wide enough so that the roots can
be spread out, avoiding twisting and
crowdfng as much as possible. Work
the soil in about the roots, leaving no
spaces, and packing firmly.
Avoid planting trees between the
house and the street in such manner
as to hide the view from the windows
and doors. To obstruct the outlook is

"Give me plate of beans and a

said to a diner perched on an ada

eight hogs every winter. Now the

of badness. Some of it is so nauseous
that coffee made from it is almost un-

same water may be swallowed with a
great degree of comfort. At San
