CULTIVATING AMERICAN PLUMS

New Bulletin Btatee Horticulturists “ Have Developed a Fruit of Value Long Overlooked. The wild North American plum has given rise to morp cultivated varieties than any other of the native fruits except the grape. These varieties have mainly originated in the Mississippi Valley, lowa alone having furnished 176, Minnesota 74 and South Dakota 44. Ip Texas 97 varieties have originated. In these western and southern regions where several of the species appear to have reached greatest, perfection in the wild condition the greatest development in the future, under cultivation may probably also be expected to take place, according to a new bulletin of the .U. S. Department of Agriculture (No. 172) entitled “The Varieties of Plums Derived from Native American Species.” The new publication Is a professional paper which should In of especial interest to the growers of fruit, particularly those engaged in plum breeding. It gives a list of native varieties and hybrids showing the origin of each va riety and the species to which It belongs, which should be of considerable value to the nurseryman and orchard--Ist. It also gives credit to the various state experiment stations and private Individuals who have furnished material used in investigating the origin and relationships of the varieties under consideration.

With few fruits has there been an equal opportunity to report step by step the advance which has been made since the original of the fleet named variety was planted and cultivated in a garden. The 1 new bulletin, therefore, places on record a new achievement of American horticulturists who have developed a fruit the value of which was long overlooked. Interested horticulturists may receive the bulletin If they will apply to the Editor and Chief, Division of Publication, U. 8. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.

Birds Destroy Insects and Weed Beeds How birds which destroy harmful Insects and weed seeds may be useful to the farmer is described in a new Farmers’ Bulletin (No. 639) of the department entitled, “Some Common Birds Useful to the Farmer." The new publication has 27 pages and 23 Illustrations (not colored), of the birds described. \

Whether a bird is beneficial or injurious depends almost entirely on what it eats, says the Introduction to the new bulletin. In the case of species which are very abundant, or which fepd to some extent on the crops <£ the farmer, the question of their ■rerage diet becomes one of supreme Importance, and only by stomach examination «»i it be satisfactorily solved. Field observations are at best but fragmentary and Inconclusive and lead to no results. Birds are often accused of eating this or that product of cultivation, when an examination of the stomach shows the accusation to be unfounded. Accordingly, the Biological Burvey has conducted for sdme years past a systematic investigation of the food of those species which are most common about the Bum and garden. Within certain limits birds eat the kind of food that is most accessible, •specially when their natural food is scarce or wanting. Thus they sometimes injure the crops of the fanner who has unintentionally destroyed their natural food in his Improvement of swamp or pasture. Most of the damage done by birds and complained of by farmers and fruit growers arises from this very cause. The berry-bear-ing shrubs and seed-bearing weeds have been cleared away, and the birds have no recourse but to attack the cultivated grain or fruit which have replaced their natural food supply. The great majority of land birds subsist upon Insects daring the period of nesting and moulting, and also feed their young upon them during the first few weeks. Many species live almost entirely upon insects, taking vegetable food only when other subsistence falls. It is thus evident that in the course of a year birds destroy an incalculable number of bisects, and It Is difficult to overestimate the value of their services In restraining the great tide of insect life. -

In winter, in the northern part of the county, insects beoome scarce or entirely disappear. Many species of birds, however, remain during the cold season and are able to maintain life by eating vegetable food, as the seeds of weeds. Here again Is another useful function of birds in destroying these weed seeds and thereby lessening the growth of the next year. The new publication discusses the lood habits of more than 60 birds in eastern forms which are represented la the West by slightly different species or subspecies, bat unless the food habits differ they are not separately described. Among the popular birds included are the robin, bluebird, wren, brown thrasher, catbird, bobolink, oriole, crow, cuckoo and the American sparrow.

Nothing bat the best qutalßy of poultry should be shipped to market. Only those who ever visited the large markets know of the enormous amount of inferior poultry that is sold, and which largely affects the prices; yet there is always a demand for that which is good, and at a price above the regular Quotations. Assorting the carcasses before shipping also leads to better prices. Old roosters, which seldom sell at more than half price, should not be la the same boxes or barrels with better stock, and to ship poultry alike and to have rooeten In the coops with fat bens, is simply to lower Bie price of the hens, as toe buyer will estimate the value by the presence of gtOCk.

TURKS MAY LOSE GRIP ON PALESTINE

Creation of Chrietlan State With Neutrality Guaranteed by Powers Advocated. JEWISH IMMIGRATION 18 SMALL If Project Goes Through, Hebrews Will Not Be Excluded, However. London. —“A land flowing with milk and honey”—thus waa Palestine once, but today it is largely a waste. Will the present world struggle result in the new birth of the little country where the Savior lived? A movement has started here to oust the Turks from the holy places —Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Lebanon and the Mount of Olives, when the Mohammedan masters and their German allies shall have been soundly beaten.

This new state will not be Jewish but will have plenty of room for all the Jews who wish to settle here. It will be tolerant toward all religions. The country came under Turkish dominion in 1616, after the war between the Ottoman Sultan and the Egyptian Mamelukes, and thereafter for over 300 years the history of Palestine has been a record of sanguinary quarrels between the landed sheikhs, and of the oppression df the peasantry by them and by Turkish officials. It was not until 1840 that the arbitrary power of the sheikhs was curbed. The Turks then began to strengthen their hold, and though much has been done for the betterment of the country, the blight of Ottoman Government has" continued to oppress it.

Two alternative policies present themselves in this urgent problem. The German Emperor has taken a great interest in Palestine and his rather theatrical visit to the Holy Land in 1908, has contributed to the extension of German activity in the country. There is the proposal of the Zionists, expressed -by Herzy, who came to this country in the year of the Kaiser’s visit to Palestine, that a Jewish state shall be established in that land. There is also the proposal now put forward, that the country shall now be developed into a -Christian state, guaranteed, perhaps, in its national neutrality by the powers.

The Zionist movement, which drew much of its strength from the persecutions of the Anti-Semites, and has been inspired by race consciousness and the idea of a spiritual mission, led to a deep interest among the Jews in the affairs of the Holy Land. Practically the movement took the form of improving the situation of the local Jews, but it embodied also the purpose of re-establishing the Jewish nation in the country. Lord Palmerston became interested in the plan, and Lord Beaconsfield and Lord Salisbury supported Laurence Oliphant in his negotiations with the Porte for a concession, which migh't pave the way to the establishment of such a State, which was regarded as promising a further strengthening of the British route to India.

But the much advertised Zioalst movement has not resulted in any great and continuous stream of Jewish migration into the country. It is proposed, therefore, to work toward the creation of a Christian State In Palestine, as was formerly projected, or as an autonomous state, guaranteed in its permanent neutrality by the powers. Such a poltical organization woud by no means exclude Jews from the country, for it would need to be, above all things, tolerant Toleration, it must be admitted, has not been the rule in the Holy Laud. An end must be put to the quarrels between various orders of the Greek and Latin churches, which have not been crediffible to the spirit which it desirable to elevate. There have been old-standing causes of dispute at work, the Russians supporting the Greek monks and the Turks looking a little tolerantly toward the Latins under French inspirations. Should Greeks or Latins -enjoy most consideration? Which of them should enter earliest in the day into the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, or should have possession of the great Church of Bethlehem? There was a disturbance In November, 1901, which from a dispute as to the right to sweep pertain stairs at the Holy Sepulchre Church, after which the t .ntin communities were assigned to the protection of their national Consuls. Such abuses have arisen from the want of proper understanding between the powers, And of any means of settling disputed points. A Christian state established in Palestine would be in a stronger position. Perhaps preferable to the old idea of British control, would be a guaranteed neutral state, all the great powers having representatives ft the seat of government Permanent neutrality should be guaranteed, and order might be kept by the Institution of gendarmerie, with officers specially selected by the Powers. Under a system of this nature all of the holy places would be very sealously guarded and would never be subpect to desecrations, either by petty quarrels or the intrusion of tramways or any other like visible expression of the activities and advancement of modern life. There would soon follow a marvelous development of a very rich country which baa suffered very long from neglect, and yet abounds in many natural resources atm untouched. .

NEGRESS TRIES TO SWALLOW DIAMOND

Detectives Force Woman to Surrender Valuable Unset Gem. Shreveport, La. —A I*6o unset diamond proved to be a Jonah in the mouth of Katie Beetle Brown, negroes, domestic and self-styled widow on a recent afternoon when Detective Reidheimer detected the woman ae she started to swallow the gem. Celllnc for Detective Williams, who was in the station at the time, Mr. Reidheimer seised the negress and grabbing her below the Adam's apple before the jewel could reach the epiglottis, the officer, by a line seriee of osteopathic maneuverlnge with his fingers, slowly forced the woman to disgorge the diamond. Messrs. Williams and Reidheimer were slightly bitten In their successful efforts to rescue the gem.

CoL 8. W. Neville of 909 Ttaas avenue, notified Chief Gray that he had yost a valuable diamond pin. Detec tive Reidheimer was assigned to the case and -a short investigation convinced him that the gem was In possession of Ratio Brown, a negress, who had been employed as a domestic by the Nevilles. The detective, learning that the negress wss about to leave the city, was watching the railroad stations and was rewarded by the sight of the Brown woman and her mother as the former was ch-vok-ing her trunk to Marshall, Tex. He placed the woman under arrest and took her to the station, keeping a close watch on her movements. Just as Kate was told to empty the contents of her hand satchel for inspection she made a quick move to her mouth. The detective was the quicker, however, and after a brief struggle, the gem came up.

BOLTS CLASS LINE TO OBTAIN HIS DEGREE.

New York.—J. Donald Duncan, one of the Columbia seniors, who was graduated recently, actually swam for a degree of bachelor of arts, and he swam as he never did before and probably never will again. It was 9:30 a. m. when Duncan dishe could not have his degree, because be had failed to pass the swimming examinations. With a yell of dismay he broke from the alreadyformed line, casting off garments as he ran for the gymnasium pooL By the time he reached it he was in a proper state of unattire to make the plunge. He hesitated for just a moment, for he never liked the water. Then the thought of his degree came to his rescue and he tumbled In. He swam until exhausted, and yet not enough. The music from the riwwn room came floating to his ears. He put forth renewed efforts. At last the goal was reached. The professor attached his signature to Duncan’s papers, and the ink was as wet as the young man's hair as he again hurried panting into the line. He had been gone Just eleven minutes,' but It was sufficient to obtain his degree.

RECORD-LENGTH BEARD.

Old Chap That Thinks Hie Chin Crop le Longest In the World—Trail# the Ground. York, Pa. —Joel Hunter of Buffalo Valley, near here, claims to possess the longest beard of any living man. Hunter’s beard, from Its source to Its end, measures 8 feet 10 Inches and trails on the ground when he walks. “Old Man” Hunter, as he is usually called by the people of Buffalo Valley, is a hermit and a very eceentric character. He lives ia a small hut a few miles from any neighbor and Is seldom seen by anybody. When asked how he sleeps at night with his long beard .he replied: "Oh, I jest tuck It under the covers, Tong with its owner.”

BIRD 18 KILLED BY GOLF BALL.

Only One Blmtlar Incident Reported by Players of Game. Topeka, Kan.—While “teeing off" at golf S. C. Pettit brought down a sparrow with the flying ball. The bird was dead when it reached the ground. It is said by golfers that such an incident has occurred only once before. A professional golfer on a large course in New inn gland once killed a bird with golf ball.

Stole Feather Bed.

Topeka, Kan.—Cold, and wearing wet clothing. Will Harkens, walked into a restaurant on Bast Fourth street. Harry Crumbine, the waiter, bailed htm as friend and asked him to spend the night at his place on Monroe street. Harkins accepted the invitation and spent the night on a downy feather bed. Crumbine had to be at work early the next morning, but he did not disturb the stranger who slept with him. About noon Harkins came to the restaurant and feelingly thanked Crambine. All afternoon Crumbine felt the glow of having done a good tern tor his fellow-man, and that night he went to his room happy. The bed didn't look as high as usual. He punched it and his hand struck the hard springs. The feather tick was gone. He called the landlady. She was bewildered and scolded about the loss. After spending the night on it, Harkins had carried the feather tick away with ftim, He sold the feathers to a mattress maker. The police arrested Harkins, and bo was lined S2O by Judge R. M. Yates tor petit larceny. _ j. jJii —
