Plneapples Have Strange Cousins.

Pineapples Have Strange Cousins.
The pineapple belongs to very In
teresting family of plants, called the
Bromellads, all OF which are purely
American, and none of which were
known In the old world until import
ed from the new. Most of these are
natives of Brazil.
The pineapple Is the only member
Of the family that produces large
fruit formed by thickening Its flower
axis and by inclOsing Its seeds In
fieshy bracts. 1t is also peculiar in
the fact that II grows on the earth,
instead of up in the branches Of trees
or on rocks, as do nearly all its rela
tives. These are like the orchids In
many respects; they draw no susie
nance from the earth through their
roots but live on rain. This they catch
In their leaves, which are rolled into
perfectly water-tight reservoirs.-New

EYESIGHT NO BOON TO HIM
Blind Begasr Refused What Most
People Would Consider Most
Precious Of life's Gifts.

"Buy pencil. please" This was
ragged blind man on prominent
downtown corner. A Detroit million
aire heard 1t. 1t gripped at his heart
strings. He. decided to help cure the
poor victim.
A specialist of international repute
was summoned. He said he could re-
store the pencil peddler's sight by a
delicate and expensive operation. The
millionaire told him to go ahead. Then
the blind man amazed the philan-
thropist and the physician by refusing
to be cured.
81 want to be blind" he said. IF l.
got my sight back I'd have to go back
to hard work Please don't give me
back my sight. I'm happy this way.
make lot of money through my
blindness. It's easy work. I'm happy
and I want to stay this way"
The millionaire then had watch
set on the happy victim. He found
that every evening at the end of the
peddler's days work, handsomely
gowned, pretty young woman drove up
to his corner in an expensive motor
car, bundled the peddler into the car,
and whlsked him off to one of those
jazz places of song and dance. The
blind man was having high old time
of II every night.
When he tried later to have his H.
cense renewed, the millionaire pre-
vented II.

BIG DEALS IN SCOTCH LANDS
Many Millions Of Acres Have Changed
Hands Since the Signing of
the Armistice.

Since the armistiee almost $500 900
acres Of Scottish land has changed
hands, or practically quarter of the
country, reports the London Times
correspondent at Glasgow.
During 1921 over 100000 acres were
sold, against 100000 in 1920. Although
prices have fallen, fully f5,00O,0O0
($25, 5,OO0OO0) must have been involved
In last years sales, and the total
turnover since the armistice Is esti-
mated at f52,5OO,OOO ($262, 100000
The decrease in estate sales last
year shows that the boom" is on the
wane, for the people who made war
fortunes and who were the estate
agents best clients now find their
wealth diminishing as quickly as 1t
grew. Trade depression has,. of
course, left It's mark on the estate
market, with the result that prices for
estates are nothing like what they
were few years ago.
Estate agents, however, hold out a
hopeful prospect for this year. 1t Is
expected that the cessation of large
buying will continue for several
months probably until the next budget
proposals are known, but that this
will be followed by revival. I'M
proved conditions In the industrial
world would give a flip to the estate
market. but agents are confident that
even without the impetus, good busl-
ness will be done next year In the
buying Of land.

UNTIL THE FARMER PRosPERs

Well meaning efforts to induce
settlers to come to this section of the
country for the purpose of engaging
in agricultural efforts will avail lit
tie, until the farmers who are here
now become prosperous. Then II
will be impossible to keep settlers
away.
So many times, it has appeared
the men engaged in the promotion
of development have looked on one
side of the problem only. They have
figured out the story of few pros
porous ranchers and have with ad-
vertising folders set forth the facts
concerning these individual cases,
using them as bait to bring others to
the field.
In normal times that method is,
perhaps, justifiable. 1t has been
used effectively and many people
have been brought to sparsely set
tied regions who made good and aid
cd in the upbuilding of the country.
But now we are in a different con-
dition. Few of the ranchers in the
west engaged in one crop production
are prosperous. All agriculture
needs concentrated effort and i'm
proved marketing conditions, as well
as better production methods.
The need of the hour is we'll
conceived plan for lettering the con-
ditions of the farmers who are here
now. A wider variety of crop pro-
duction will in part solve the prob
lem. Means must be secured of
preparing the crops raised so that
they can stand shipment to the dis
tant consuming market.
Herein lies the great benefit pos
sible from the introduction on a
broader scope Of the dairy industry.
1t is both a principal industry as
well as an auxiliary to field crop pro-
duction. 1t reduces the forage
raised into concentrated form
which at low cost, comparatively,
can be transported to distant cities.
It can be held for time in storage
and thus has another advantage. 1t
is the means of a steady income;
one of the greatest of all needs OF
the farmer.
The offer which j. l.. Kraft of the |
Kraft Brothers Company of Chicago, |
made to take the output of cheese |
from Idaho and Eastern Oregon up|
to two hundred million pounds per
year, at the same price as that paid
in Wisconsin,, brings the market to
the dairy rancher of this section. 1t
is the most significant offer ever
made to the people OF any section.
There are today, in Wisconsin
5000 creameries and cheese factor
les. There are not one hundred In
the Snake River valley today. The
limit Of forage production in Wis
consin has been reached. Here it
has only been scratched. Wiscon-
