Where Our Forests are Going.



To make shoe pegs enough for
American use consumes annually
100000 cords OF timber, and TO make
our luciler matches, 100000 cubic
feet of the best pine are required
every year. Lasts and boot-trces take
100000 cords of birch, beech, and
maple, and the handles of tools 500,-
600 more. The baking Of our bricks
consumes 1000, 900 cords Of wood, or
what would cover with forest about
$4,000 acres of land. Telegraph poles
already up represent 100000 trees,
and their annual repair consumes
about 300, 900 more. The ties of our
railroads consume annually thirty
years growth Of $4,000 acres, and TO
fence all our railroads would cost
100000, with 4 yearly expendi.

These are some OF the ways in which
American forests are going. There
are others; our packing boxes, for

while the timber used each year IN
making wagons and agricultural i'm.

Why Good Water, and Plenty Of It Is

J :. Woodward in Rural Nee Yorker
When we consider that all food to
be assimilated by the animal system
must be in the form of liquids. and
that at least 20 10 Is per cent. OF the
whole animal is water, we shall see
that TO be healthy, contented and
thrifty, full supply of water is rs
essential 10 all farm stock as good
food. Especially is this the case in
Winter when their main supply is
dry food, and it is doubly important
II We have not an abundance of some

tious the food, we must have water as
the solvent and agent for introducing

The Possibilities Of American Wheat,

Speaking of our gigantic crops of
wheat, the American Miller remarks
that few people, even in our own
country, realize how incxhaustible
our resources are for wheat growing.
The total area OF lands available for
wheat culture in the United States is
not less than 4TO,000,O0O acres. Our
entire wheat crop of the past year,
phenomenal though 1t was, would not
supply seed enough to SOW so vast an
area of wheat land.

THE n. Y. Tribune, in answer to
question, says that 1913 pounds of the
corn fodder must be given to supply
the same nutriment as 100 pounds OF
hay would contain. This may be
considered as a fair approximate
statement OF the relative value OF the
two folders, based on their chemical
composition; as TO statements of
relative value based on experiment or
experience, they are exceedingly
scarce, while there is an abundance
OF testimony TO the effect that corn
fodder Is very valuable for winter
feeding.

While it would appear that CON-
mon sense teaches even the most un-
knowing not to place small seed
half inch or an inch beneath the sur
face, there are many who do this very
thing. and then, with refreshing igno-
rance, wonder why their seed do not

to the fact that the germ of n small
seed being, in itself, naturally small
and delicate, is unable TO force itself
through such a mass of soil, and
must, consequently, perish.

One Of the erayest errors into
which the uninitlated often fall is the
great and needless hurry with which
they commit their seed to the ground,
before the warmth Of spring has kill
ed all traces of frost therein. In
frosty soil the germ of all halEhardy
and tender seeds will necessarily per-
ish; DO not, therefore, SOW your seeds
before the periods named above:
few weeks later IN sowing seed than
the regular period will not in any
manner rstard the full development
Of the stcdling, while few dags
sooner might lose YOU the entire
sowing by an unlocked for cold spell.
So do not be deceived by a few fair
days in early spring into risking your
seed through entirely needless haste
in sowing them.

cut His Throat.

The Phoebe Record Of the 10th says:
GA man who had been on a spree several
days out at Jackrabbit came TO Phoebe
last Saturday afternoon accompanied by
his friend Jim Jams. On Sunday morn
ing he appeared at Smiths corral with q
cash in his throat and procured some
water, and then disappeared until Wednes-
day evening, when he came and got his
blankets. On Thursday he went to the
corral after more water, and Mr..
Smith watched where he went,
then came up town and reported.
The man was brought up in
town and placed under the care OF DR..
Matthews. The wound indicates that the
man first cut on one side Of his throat,
then the other, merely cutting through the
skin, and then jabbing the knife into his
throat, inficting a deep wound. The wind
pipe and esophagus is cut. and when he
drinks water comes out Of the wound. On
Friday the doctor probed the wound back
to the spinal-column, but the man COM
menced vomiting, compelling him to
cease. Although it is a severe wound, 1t
is not necessarily fatal. The mans name
is William Hanly.

He Slides 100 Feet On His Nose

Our esteemed fellow citizen, Morris H.
Joseph, was out on the hills prospecting,
Saturday afternoon. in the neighborhood

his footing and struggled for q while TO
steady himself, by sticking his heels into
the crusted snow. He leaned a bit too far
forward in his efforts to balance himself.
and then topping over completely be
plunged his ample nose for a cutter into
the icy crust and started to coast down the
bill without delay. He does not re-
member how long he travelled. but he
thinks it was not very long, for he did not
linger on the way. He remembers having
struck out with his legs and arms to lay
hold OF some greasewood sprigs that stood
above the snow, but they seemed to be
moving with extraordinary velocity in an
opposite direction and dsfied catching, or
else crumbled like parched straws. A
man can think q good deal in a
moment, and our friend Joseph did a
good deal Of thinking instantly. He
was scudding with a crackle and q whizz
straight for the hosting works and with q
velocity SO accelerated at every moment
that he felt sure he would be driven like q
bullet through the roof and dropped a
mangled mass deep into the bowels Of the
earth below. He had mentally said, Good
by Joseph" and was specializing on what
sort of an obituary he would get in the
SENTINEL next morning, when his chilled
nose and face were all Of q sudden chucked
into the friendly meshes. of a stout sage
brush. He got up, after q minutes prac-
tice standing on his head, to find himself
saved from death, but so scratched and
torn as not to be recognized by his own
children. There must nave been a special
angel on duty to save u friend.
1t is no laughing matter for a man to slide
down q hill $50 feet at an angle Of As de-
grees. with nothing to save him from de-
stroying q set Of hosting works but a
scratchy sagebrusha 1t is lucky that Mr..
Joseph went down on his nasal organ,

shrub; for had he descended with the other
end to, he might have coasted round the
friendly sagebrush and been dashed to
pieces. Mr.. Joseph went down the hill
alone.
