When two regions on different lieml? spheres possess similar climates there Is nearly always a similarity In their native vegetation, und i' Is n demon Btrated tact that many o( the plants native to one of the regions find llnun selves perfectly at homo in the other. California conditions are markedly similar to those of the Mediterranean region, so thai it is no surprise to IIml more than fifty plants from the latter region that thrive in California with marvelous vigor, it is conservatively estimated that over 75 per cent of the ? forage mi the California range lands is Hindu up "f Mediterranean lintlll- j grants, mostly annuals, such as wild oats, bur clover, iillllcrillu, broine grasses, feseuos, wild barleys and many others, The Croat hasltt and the Columbia basin resemble California in one marked respect?namely, that the sum- I liters are dry and tin- winters wet. Indeed, the principal difference from California lies in the colder winters. The difference has not prevented tin1 Introduction and rapid spread of most of the Mliropean annuals now so con spicuous in California, it i-: really little slmrt of limuxtllg how rapidly ami extensively some of these plants have occupied the range lands at the expense of the native vegetation. The conditions in Arizona are not , very favorable t<> the plants that have found California conditions so con genial, with the exception of nltilcrilla. Arabia of all old world regions is most like Arizona, and from there, if any where, we should expect plants adapt ed to A I'lzomi conditions. Western Washington and western Oregon closely approximate in climate the Itt'ltlsli isles, and practically every thing that thrives in the one region is at home in the other. The middle and south Atlantic states are similar to Japan ami China in cli mate, it has long been recogulzed that till Japanese plants, especially orna mentals, thrive in this region perfectly. A number of them are so at home, in deed, that they have literally taken to the woods and behave as natives. Wit ness the Japanese honeysuckle. Japan clover, nlliinthus, puulownln and the recently introduced Chinese violet. The cotton states evidently have much in common with India and south eastern Asia, whence we have ob tained cow peas, crab grass, Itcrmudn grass, velvet deans and many weeds, and to a less degree with Argentina, where rescue grass, carpet ^rrass. pns palutn grass and a number of common southern weeds are native. Of late years there has been Increas ing evidence that the high plains of northern Texas resemble the highlands of India. At least practically every plant introduced from the India high lands has succeeded better in the Tex as Panhandle than elsewhere in the United states. The great plains region lying east of the Itoeky mountains and west of the one hundredth meridian finds its near est parallel in climate in Asia. This Is the region that gave us alfalfa. Homemade Horsepower Pump. The accompanying sketch shows a novel horsepower pump which Is used on a northwestern ranch, This pump consists of a walking beam twenty to twenty-live feel l<>m,'. which Is connect ed at one end to the pump rod and at the other end to the shall of an old mower wheel. Tins shaft is lengthen ed out to about twelve feet and bent Into the shn|.f a era Ilk near the end IIOltSB nKQUIIIKS NO DBivsn. opposite the wheel. The bearings for this crank are made from a piece of bar iron. V shaped, with a Hat bottom. This Iron is bolted dOWIl loosely to a piece of timber tilted into the ground. The horse Is hitched on near the wheel. The V shaped hearing turns as the horse walks around in a circle, and the ?rank makes a double stroke for every revolution of the mower wheel. Where a well is deep two mower wheels may be put together to add tractive weight. A horse soon learns to operate' Ibis pump without a driver. Tho Bug Nuisance. Hr. II. T. Pcnnld of the Massachu setts Agricultural college says that live-sixths of all (he living creatures of tin? globe are Insects and that, not more than one out of ten is friendly to man. lie estimates that S'J.OOO.OOO or $3.000.000 worth of damage Is an nually Wrought by insects and that known means of protection, properly used, COUld prevent tWO-tlllUds of this loss. He is therefore impressing the necessity of a close study by all ? lasses of people of this question with the hope of saving forest and shade trees ami crops. How to Exterminate Fleas.
