Gumbo Lily SholOy Plant

The gumbo lily is of striking appear

width of three inches or more with
ten yellowish-white petals and more

of the plains from Texas to Saskatche-

ing perennial plant about two feet high
belonging to a family rather closely
related to the cactus, says the Van
cOuver Province.
The second specimen is the bud

presence of an insect certain buds OIL
the wild rose have developed into

even more common on willow twigs.

Useful Peppermint

Growth and development Of the
chewing gum habit is having the effect
of causing continual rise in the price
of peppermint The acreage in the
production of the plant in two Michi-
gan counties exceeds 1000 acres. Pep
permint as a flavor is today in great
demand everywhere. Oil of pepper
mint is now also employed tc tes!
steam boilers. If the odor escapes il
indicates that the boiler Is unsafe. A
boiler that will hold the smell of the
oil is said to be capable of holding any
pressure to which it is ordinarily sub
jected. Peppermint is raised on marsh
land formerly given oyer entirely to
the production of hay. The land is
used over and over again for the same
kind of crop without rotation
though muriated potash is employed
to maintain the soil in the desired
state of fertility. In September the
crop is cut with moving machine.

Hog House Is Not Hard
to Remodel for Light

Often a farmer has a good hog
house, but has discovered that the
lighting is very poor, especially for
narrowing March l.
But this situation may be easily
remedied, says e. r. Gross, professor
of rural engineering at the New Jer-
sey state college Of agriculture. 1t Is
not difficult to cut new openings in the
walls and roof Of house and place
new windows, without in any way in
juring the building. BY properly set
ting in the new window the house will
be as tight as before, and the extra
sunlight will add warmth.
In placing these new windows, size
and location must be considered with
care. The windows should be on the
south side of the building They
should be large enough to admit all
the light that Is needed. A window
in the roof will let in great deal
more light than window of the same
size in the wall. AS much as square
feet Of glass per pen have been used
The average pen used is s by feet.
The windows also must be placed SC
.that the direct rays Of the sun will
fall upon the bed or nest. About
March 1 the suns angle is such that
the light strikes the floor 4 feet 4
inches from the point beneath the
window. Thus a window, whether In
the wall or the roof of the house, may
be accurately placed to secure best
results.

CAVES OUTLINED Nv
MILLIONS OF YEARS
Took Ages TO Form Won
drous CaDifies.

Much has been said since the I'M
prisonment of Floyd Collins in Sand
cave in Kentucky about stalactites
and stalagmites, those icicles of lime
stone that hang from the roof and
extend up from the floor of such caves.
How these deposits came to exist, as
well as hows the caves themselves
were excavated by nature, form an
interesting page in the study of geol-
ogy.
At one time, perhaps million or
more years ago, an ancient sea COW
cred this district Sedimentary strata
Of limestone We're deposited on the
floor of this sea. Often layer of
sandstone was formed. Later, through
some uphea, al the bottom of the sea
arose and became dry land Then the
formation of these caves began.
Limestone is but very little soluble
in pure water, but water containing
carbon dioxide will easily dissolve the
mineral. Rain water, seeping down
through the ground, absorbed carbon
dioxide from decaying organic mat
ter. Then it would percolate through
the less soluble layers Of sandstone
without affecting them, but when it
came 10 layer of limestone it would
dissolve some particles and carry them
off. Thus, through many centuries,
an entire stratum of limestone would
be dissolved, leaving a cavern often
many feet in height. The ceilings and
floors of these caves, as rule, were
strata of sandstone or other rock less
soluble than limestone.
After the cavity in the earth was
formed, and even before the excavat-
ing job was completed, new process
was begun. Perhaps nature regretted
having formed such a cavity, or may
be she liked her work so well that she
thought she should build columns to
support the ceilings of .these places.
ing stalactites, hanging down from
above and stalagmites reaching up
from the floors of the caves. These
formations grew in size and length
until they often met, forming columns
In some cases the cave would be near
ly filled again with the limestone Of
these stalactites and stalagmites.
Water seeping in from above caused
the formation of these limestone
icicles Rainwater, charged with car
bon dioxide, would dissolve limestone
from rocks above the cave and come
to the roof, where it would hang
awhile. Here it would lose some Of
its carbon dioxide by evaporation, and,
with its carbon dioxide gone, it would
have 20 give up some of it's lime
stone. since pure water will not hold
much of the rock in solution. This
limestone would be deposited on the
roof of the cave. More and more Of
the mineral was deposited until the
stalactite was formed.
Millions of these drops of water fell
to the floor of the cave before they
gave up all their carbon dioxide, car
rying their little burden of limestone
with them. In this case the limestone
was deposited on the floor, causing a
staIagmite Kansas City Star.

THE KIWI

Billie Brownie was much excited.
He was going to call upon bird
creature he had never seen before. or
course he always enjoyed calling on
his old friends. He liked to hear more
of their news.
Sometimes he liked to have them
tell him the same things about them
selves for then he could tell others
who hadn't heard all the news, and
he could freshen up his own memory
about their ways.
But it was an event to call on new
creature he had never seen at all.
He put on his best brown suit and
his best brown stocking cap with the
brown tassel at the end and started
on his journey.
The new creature upon whom he
was to call was the Kiwi.
He didn't quite know how to pro-
nounce the creatures name but he did
his best, in his own guesswork fash
ion and knew that would do.
"One comfort always is" Billie
Brownie said to himself, "that ami
mails won't glare at you if you don't
pronounce their family names cor
rectly.'
He followed the directions Mother
Nature had given him. And then he
came before the Kiwi.
"I'm Billie Brownie" he said, In

say it was bit too sharp, but to my
way of thinking 1t is very pleasant. :
'What is your way Of thinking?'
asked the Kiwi, suddenly.
"Well, w1lf," said Billie Brownie
.'it's just a Brownies way of think

"Oh," said the Kiwi, then it doesn't
mean that only along one certain road
or way you can think? You are able

said Billie Brownie.

other pause, If you wouldn't tell me
something about yourself?'

Kiwi.
