Wlhi'e diia' t'!li:jic lir-s burnc!, the luxuriant vonluro of tlu' tropics now overruns the lia:neno ainiiilheater in rit011s iroiuiun. It is as if nature in repentant niocxl were pouring out her gifts with unitlnted hand to cover the scars ami tle.soiation wrought by volcanic fury. Tree and vine, tlower and slirub, cover the ahrupt. almost vertical sides of the huge buin and clamber high over ridge after rldire of the knil'ellke hills; choke the deep ravines and valleys with their prolific mass of bloom and foliage, and, creeping In rich abundance almost to the water's edge, climb the black basalt cliffs towering over the bay, thus seeking to soften their hnrsh, broken outlines beneath a rank growth of vines und mösses. Great cascades, springing from the living rock high on the mountain side, leap over mighty precipices, gleaming like strands of silver, in the sunlight, to be lost in the mysterious depths of dark gorges far below. These waters wind through dark, tortuous ravines "and form the racing stream that tumbles swiftly between the twisting hills Into the Hteep vnlley of Ilanavave, where It rushes, over Its rocky bed to puss into the blue waters of the quiet - bay. IJoyond the crescent of white sand that lies between the cliffs, banyan, mongo, and breadfruit trees mingle their brilliant foliage and blossoms with the slender brown trunks and waving frond of the pandanus and coco palm. Less than n century ago this forest wus thickly dotted with the brown thatched huts of the Ilanavavans, each " upon Its paepae or platform of stone constructed without mortnr or cement. Thousands of these paepae, no longer In use, cling to the vertical sides of valleys and ravines In n state of in.'rfeet preservation, the platform usually J0 ty 30 or 40 feet, level and unbroken, often walled up 10 or 15 feet on the lower side. Beautiful Women, Fierce Men. To describe the daimy. graceful Maniuesanne as she unquestionably was before Cook's advent tray lay the dvscriber open to the charp? of exaggeration. Hut from Mendana to Stevtiison, with Melville for good measure, her remarkable beauty was a fvurce of surprise and admiration. When women possess beautifuK luxuriant hair, fine eyes, perfect teeth, a slender, graceful form, a skin of velvet texture and unblemished surface, ur.d these physical attractions are combined with n vivacity of spirit and action, exaggeration becomes dlfllcu!:; and unless all chroniclers of the islands have for several centuries agreed to deceive the world, such was the Marquesanne; so she is today when F'.ckness haj not dlmlnlstud her charm. The men were fierce, cruel cannlbMs, whose chief occupation, aside from the Indulgence of their amative proclivities, was the killing of both men and women of other tribes for gastronomic purpThe all-powerful tupu was the "law nd prophets" of the Marq::ean.

They Had No Agriculture. Agriculture in any form was unknown. ' The natives took the bountiful variety of llora the islands provided, but to assist nature in any way by tilling or replanting never occurred to them. Content with .their gratification of the desires of the day, the Marquesans took literally no thought for the morrow. The most favored intoxicant in the Marquesas Is numu-ehi, or, as it is more commonly known, koko. Khi is Marquesan for coconut, jind It Is from the coco palm that this most insidious and delectable of drinks is made. A tall coco palm that has been windblown so that Its plumy top leans far out of the perpendicular, is chosen. The buds, from which eventually fifty or sixty nuts would be produced, growIn a compact, oblong cluster near Hie top of the palm. The native climbs the tree and, using long strips of bark or fiber, binds the cluster of blossoms tightly round and round, until the result resembles a huge, fat cigar protruding from the fronds. Underneath the point of this a bowl is suspended and the tip end of the wrapping sliced off. After the second day It begins to drip freely, but the end must be sliced fresh every twenty-four hours to stimulate the flow. In this manner a tree will furnish one or more gallons a day for several weeks. When fresh from the tree the beverage resembles a delicious lemonade, with a flavor which would make the fortune of ii soft-drihk manufacturer who could reproduce It. Fermentation j takes place sieedily, however, and in a few hours your soft drink has "hardened" Into a vicious man-killer that only a savage can go - against with Impunity. Captain Cook's report placed the Marquesas literally and figuratively "on the map. That was 145 years ago, and since then the history of the Islands Is the tragic story of a losing fight by a race of savages against a civilization represented in this Instance by the whaler, the missionary, the trader, the "blackbirder," and finally their conquest nnd subjugation by a foreign power. In IS41I Admiral Du Tetlt-Thouars took possession of the entire group in the name of France, ostensibly to protect the missionaries in their labors.for Christianity. Forts were built on several of the islands and troops Installed to enforce French authority. The ensuing fifty years Is a record of desultory warfare between the French soldiers and the Marquesan warriors. In which the latter, always at wur with each other and poorly armed, were constantly defeated; of "blackbirdeis" from North and South America, who raided the weakened villages and sohl the men and women Into slavery In far-off lands, and of the frightful ravages of smallpox, tuberculosis, leprosy, and rber con If , c w0tl u.

RRIGATION NOW

OF Eurder Method Followed in West Is Well Adapted to a Variety of Soils. mm TURNED INTO STRIPS Net Profitable to Prepare Field for One Crop Alfalfa, Clover and Other Forage Crops Are Among These Favored. The bonier method of irrigation, fol lowed in many parts of the western states, is well adapted to a variety of soils and crops and is growing rapidly in public favor. As described in Farmers bulletin 12-13, 'The Korder Method of Irrigation," prepared by Samuel Fortier and now issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, the method consists essentially in the division of the field to be Irrigated into a series of strips, lands, or beds, as they are variously termed, by low, fiat levees extending usually in the direction of the steepest slope. Suh'iclent water is turned into the upper end of each strip and allowed to move down the slope in a thin slice!, moistening the soil to a given depth as it advances toward the lower end. Crops Suited for Irrigation. It s' blom pays, it is said, to prepare a fu-Id for the border method for one crop. The no-thod is well adapted to Th irrigation of alfalfa, clover and other for: 11:0 crops, as well as all grains, and the forage crops may b' rondel with the grains without modifying the method. It is also possiblo to irrigate potatoes, sugar heels and otl.,r lo-.v. l and e'.iKivatcd crops by nu hinu a di::!it change ill th" border;, so ;! :it tho latitude as to rotation i.s r.uher wide.

The cost of preparing land for the border method is low as compared with that required for most other methods if the physical conditions are favorable. At the same time it Is usually feasible to obtain a fair crop at small cost by the use of temporary borders, and after the crop is harvested, the making of permanent borders may be undertaken without undoing much of the previous season's work. Slopes Are Essential. A smooth, regular surface having a slope in one direction of about 2.5 inches to the hundred feet may be regarded as Ideal for the border method of irrigation, it is possible to make borders on slopes one inch or less to the hundred feet nnd on steeper slopes up to '2 feet and more per hundred. Borders have been used on slopes as great as V2 feet to the hundred feet, but extra care must then be taken to prevent soil and crop erosion. The amount of water that can be turned into the strip depends on the size of each strip, its slope, and other conditions. In narrow, . short strips the head used may be reduced to half a cubic foot n second or from 20 to 23 miners' inches, and in wide, long strips 10 cubic feet a second may be none too -large. A large volume of water cannot be handled successfully on steep slopes, but it is always possible to divide a head between two or more compartments. Full details of the construction and operation of borders are contained in the bulletin, copies of which may be had free by writing to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.

BIG SAVING MADE BY CULLING OUT SCRUBS

Nonproducing Fowis Eliminated From Many Flock j Extension Agents Expbin Method cf Weeding Out So Thoroughly Thxt Poultry Raisers Seen Deccme Efficient. (TrfrafJ ty th Urate ! S'.:its Pep.irtmf r.t of AKrlcurtur-. ) Approximately $-10,000 was saved to poultry men in Texas last year through t lie work of extension workers employed co-operatively by the United States Department of Agriculture and the state agricultural college. In 14 counties of Maine the saving was about $1.:K4.40. These sums represent the mney value of culling, estimated on the feed cost of one cent a day a hen. In Maine lo.Odl hens were examined in culling demonstrations and 4.0 IS culls removed. In Texas about 1-V 1 -Kh trr-:- -v-: i . - tv I i ' i : i- - "V:U. ' ' .

The number of poultry owners instructed in Maine was :',.04: and In Texas S,000, many of whom afterward culled their own docks. The estimated savings represent only a part of the total value of this work. As a result (f the demonstrations in one section in Maine, 79 persons eliminated 1,420 birds as culls, while in Texas the culling that resulted from all demonstrations was valued at $125,000. The extension agents not only demonstrated that the non-producing hen could be eliminated but explained the method of culling so thoroughly that those present could go home and put It into practice nearly as effectively as the demonstrators themselves. RIGHT CULTURE OF CABBAGE Rich Soil Encourages Fast Growth, Large and Solid J4eads Chinese Variety Differs. The history of the development of the cabbage gives the key to its culture. The richer the soil and the faster it is kept growing, the larger and solider the heads. It must , be grown fast to head fast. If through lack of fertility or drought its growth is checked, there is either no real head or a loose, very inferior one, the whole strength of the plant going to develop such leaves as it had produced before the check. The Chinese cabbage Is an entirely different species from the common cabbage and Its brothers. KEEP COMPOST HEAP MOIST Arrange Pile So That Rain Will Keep Material Wet and Prevent Less of Fertility. It is of the utmost importance," says the Flower Grower, "that the top of the pile be kept hollow or at least flat, so that rain will keep the material wet and prevent burning and loss of fertility. Don't let the pile get rounded on top under any circumstances, as it should absorb therainfall and not shed it, and, therefore, the nearer level It Is kept the better job of composting will result." DETERMINING SEX OF DUCKS I Hen Always Quacks in Coarse Voice, While Drake Will Emit Sibilant Sound. Not every one knows how to tell the sex of ducks, but it Is easy. The hen duck always quacks In a coarse voice; the drake never quacks, but emits a sibilant sound, described by one woman as being iike en old man with brownkeeters." It has a "quack" sound, but Is high-pitched and not sc loud as the raucous quacking of the l.eu ducl.s.
