Black Walnut Valuable.

'Of all the forest trees found in the
original forests of America" says
American Forestry, ''the black walnut
probably suffered most at the hands
Of the early settlers. This Is due to
the well-known fact that 1t stood upon
the best land In the fertile valleys
and bordering foothills. These areas
were selected by tile pioneer farmers
for their clearings and farms. A large
number Of the choicest black walnut
trees were felled and burned simply
to get rid Of them. Many more were
split into fence rails or put to other
similar ordinary uses before the real
merits Of the wood became known.
'Now the wood of black walnut
brings high price. It IL no longer
destroyed and wasted, but every avail
able piece Is collected and manufae-
tured into some useful article. It 10

RABBIT" IS PROPER NAME
Combination Of Toasted Cheese and
Brown Ale Has Been Incorrectly
Called "Rarebit."

The original name Of the combfna.
ton Of toasted cheese and good brown
ale was, 1t is an historical fact,
welsh Rabbit" II was a slang term,
at that. 1t was one Of a large class
OF similar terms describing In q hu-
morous manner the special dish, prod
uct or popularity Of a particular dis
trict. Thus. In England, a German
Duck" was the slang name for q
Sleeps head stewed In onions. 'Leis-
tershire PlOyer" was the name given
to a bag pudding, and "Digby Chicken
was the slang term for herring.
Similar examples Of metaphorical
names for favorite dishes are found
in every country. And long before the
word "rarebit" was ever heard Of, the
familiar dish Of cheese and ale" was
known as q "Welsh Rabbit"
1t was only when some solemn ETY..
mologist came along. and gravely
noting the fact that there was nothing
In the dish to even remotely sug-
gest a connection with a rabbit, sus.
gasted that the word was undoubted-
~ corruption OF 'rarebit," which
would make some sense at least. So
"rarebit" II became among the pur-
lists. And the early dictionaries
adopted 1t, though the modern ones
acknowledge that rabbit has the
right Of way.

Early Astronomical instruments.

The earliest known astronomical In
struments of German make have re-
Gently been described by DR.. J. Hart
man Of Gottingen. They belonged to
the philosopher and astronomer, Cardi-
nal Nikolaus of Cusa, who lived from
1401 to 1464, and comprised a tor
quetum," for measuring the longitude
and latitude Of the celestial bodies. an
astrolabe and two celestial globes.
A, note has been found In the cardl-
nails own handwriting, stating that he
purchased three of these instruments
In the year 1444, together with 16 as

forms. Doctor Hartman believes that
at least two of the instruments were
made by one Nikolaus Hybech Of Err.

While Teaching visible Speech" Il 10
Said Alexander Graham Bell
Made Great Discovery.

That the telephone was born In
America, and that Alexander Graham
Bell made his discovery In Boston. OF
the only way In which speech could
be transmitted, was due to circum.
stances full Of the deepest human In.
terest, says the Telephone Press Ser
vice. That Bell came to Boston to
teach his fathers method Of visible
speech, was due to the insistence Of
q New England woman, Miss Sarah
Fuller. principal OF the Horace Ma,.n
School for Deaf Mutes.
Miss Fuller so impressed the Boston
school board with the Importance OF
this method of instruction for the un.
fortunate children under her care,
that, after vainly trying to secure Of
Bells father, who had invented the
system, the beard, upon his recon-
mendation. offered the son, Alexander
Graham Fell, $500 to come to Boston
and give q course Of instruction at
the school.
He went there April /, 1871, and
thereafter divided his time between
teaching the theory of visible speech
to the teachers, and In practical in
structiOns to the pupils. In 1872 he
opened a normal school for teachers.
In 1873 he accepted an appointment as
professor Of vocal physiology in the
school Of Oratory of Boston university.
In 1875, Professor Bell made the happy
discovery that led to the invention of
the telephone. He was then twenty
eight years old.

Of the book is to be found In the Illus

Offers Trees For Improy-

Forester Cox Procures 10000 Black
Walnut Yearlings for \Distribu-
tion-Makes Suggestions

The state forest service Is ready to
supply young black walnut trees for
planting in state parks and along
state trunk highways as long as a
supply of 10000 lasts, Forester w.
T. Cox announced this week. About
5000 will be reserved for the parks
he said and the remainder viii be
distributed for planting on the road
sides wherever conditions are favor
able to their growth.
Charles M. Babcock, state high
way commissioner, approved the pro-
posal, having previously ordered
members of his organization to Co
operate in saving growing trees and
otherwise preserving and enhancing
the attractiveness of the state trunk
routes.
The walnut trees win thrive in the
right soil in the southern half of
Minnesota and particularly in sec
tions south Of the Minnesota river
of which they are natives, Mr.. Cox
said. The young trees, now about
18 inches tall, will be sent to volun-
tary. or other organizations agreeing
to plant and care for thsms he said.
They will mature ie sbest u years,
he added.
Northern Minnesota districts
should plant elms, pines, spruces,
basswoods and other trees adapted
to local conditions, the forester adj
vised. The forest snervice is without
free supplies, of these but will CO.
operate toward obtaining them.
A Mortified club has ordered a
number of the black walnut trees for
planting along the new pavement on
trunk highway No. / between that
city and Faribault, Mr.. Cox report
ed, and several women's clubs are in
terested in the offer of the forest
service.

ARTICLES OF INTEREST TO FARMERS

The amendment to the War Fl.

redit to enable the farmers to tide
over their financial disaster, by at
.ording them an extension of credit
hat viii give them from one to
,ilree years extension of time to
iquidate their Indebtedness.
This amendment is known as the
Kellogg Substitute for the Norris
Bill. 1t was drawn by Senator Kel-
ogg after consultation with j. r.
Howard, President of the American
arm Bureau, and was approved by
lin, and he and other officers of the
arm bureau assisted Senator KEEL
ogg in securing the passage Of the
bill.
The War Finance Corporation is
now fully organized to carry out the
provisions of the law, and the Fed
raj officials are anxious to get the
money to the farmers by the short

unnecessary red tape has been elimi-
mated and the method of making the
