SEASONING TIMBER.
Some Reasons Why Trees should be Fslied
During.the winter Months.


During.the winter Months
Trees, Immediately after they are
ielled, unless they have been previously
killed, contain great deal Of moisture,
and are. therefore, unfit for use until
they undergo seasoning process. This
is simply the evaporation OF the water,
which. II allowed TO remain In the tree,
would fcrment and decay. and II dried
out too rapidly would leave the timber
brittle. because the gum and other mat
ter in the wood would evaporate with
the water. instead OF gradually assimil-
ating with the fbres aud tending to bind
them together, as In the case where the
drying Is properly conducted. Now, to
accomplish this Is the principal thing.
and there ara many means Of doing so.
Some people say placing timber In n
running stream for time before stack.
ing helps seasoning, and renders It less
liable to decay. But II Ia not always
convenient nor is the timber as good as
u seasoned other ways, for Il carries off
more matter than necessary. Some say
leave the timber in the bulk sometime
before cutting into planks. There is
great danger in doing this, for II there
are any cracks through the bark TO al.
low the moisture TO lodge in. decay Is
certain. The best way is TO cut the TIM
Der into planks at once after telling and
place Il In store or shed with good
ventilation. but no violent draughts Of
air and no moisture. The floor should
be perfectly dry and the roof lofty. In
stacking the timber Il Is well. when con.
vcnienL TO stand the plsnks on end, the
root end upward, and well raised from
the ground. In all cases each plank or
board should be separated from the next
one by lsths, to allow the air to clrcu.
late freely between them. After being
In this position four or five months II Il
well to reverse them, and brush Of with
hard brush any moisture or mildew
that may appear. Timber seasoned In
this manner proves the toughest aud
most durable. In seasoning hard woods
take about one year TO the Inch. aud sofl
woods much less. Where II Is possible,
Il is well 10 cut all timber into scantllngs,
and In panels or boards to plane them
sometime before being used. as they arr
apt 10 shrink. no matter how long they
are seasoning. for the wood which re,
lulrcs least seasoning Is generally found
to bs the most durable; i then become.
an essential poin, that trees should b,
lelled during the winter months. thai
being the season when the tree has Least

How to u,ilils Waste Land.

places ou the farms with apple trees. An
ordinary apple tree will produce from
ten to twenty-five bushels Of apples one
year with another. These are worth for
food, as compared with grain, ten cents
bushcl, and when combined with grain
they are worth more. In no other way
can 50 much food be produced so cheap

NO, ALL by seeding the ground with or.
chard grass or blue grass more pasture

accomplished by the simple outlay ioI
trees and an occmional mulching with

Hall still survive, although the rain of last

and lightning tried to scare them to death.
There was no hail here, although the wind

The little branch running by Science
Hall would compare favorably with the Mis-
sissippi river. We thought all the rain there
was came down here but from reports, 1t
seems we only got our share. The light
ming struck several places in the neighbor-
hood, doing very little damage, however. 1t
struck Mr.. Anderson's barn three times, and
killed COW in tho barn-yard, but did not
injure the barn much the lightning-rod
saved it, the rod itself was nearly destroyed.

were more or less injured by the high water.

Is it not full time that War,
With its deadly train of woe,
From the earth shall cease
Time for us to say, "Thus far,
And no further shalt thou go!"
Time to ring in Peacef
Time to battle for the right,
In a bloodless conflict now!
Time, to bid adieu
To the hateful fends that blight
Time to learn, before we bow,
False gods from the true?
Are we Christian ? is the name
OF the Master, which we bear
Or profess to, naught
But mockeryt put to shame,
BY the cruel deeds we share,
And the evil sought!
God have pity! we are blind,
Fiercer than the beasts that tear,
In our stubborness
Madly fighting gainst our kind,
Quick to battle, slow to bear,
Slow for just redress.
Lead us, God of Peace, we prayl
Make the nations of the world,
Open-eyed to be:
Ready to push on the day
When old heather Mars is hurled
In Oblivion's sea
