THE TIME TO CUT TIMBER.

On this subject Prof: Budd writes
to the Iowa State Register as follows;
At the great forestry convention
at Moscow, we were told that the
united results of the many trials haa
been in favor of trees felled the lat
ter part of June, while the bark
would yet slip. The common prac-
tice now in all the government fof-
ests is to fell the trees at this time
and at once to peel the bark from
the trunk as high up as it is valua0lc
for timber. Above this point the
limbs and foliage are left to aid III
the work Of ~evaporating the water
from the cell structure Of the l0s'
In about ten days after telling 'ne
logs are cut, and at nj sawed Vi
cut into lumber, ties, posts, ETC., a1lei
which the drying process is con-
pleted as rapidly as the most faVor"'
bic conditions will permit.
Theory and practice unite to favor
this time for the cutting and raPinu
drying of timber. If cut in the lan'
winter or early spring, the cell str true

Attractions mt the Theatres.

"Boccaccio," one Of Suppe's brightest
operas, will be the attraction at Albaugh's
Grand Opera-House this week with Miss
Winston In the title role. The opera will
be nicely mounted and costumed, and will
be as handsomely presented as any opera
OF the season. The management has Sc
cured Miss Alice May, who achieved such
success here In the "Beggar STUDENT"
"Falka" and "The Mikado."
The advance sale of reserved seats for
the lecture which is to be delivered by Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher at the National Thea
Beecher's subject is "Conscence," aud this
lecture, though his latest, is said to be his
best.
Messrs. Barton and Logan announce that
with this week the highly successful season
at the Dime Museum will close. Sid G.
France, with his excellent company, who
have been seen here before this season, will
appear in three different plays during the
week.
At Herzog's Opera House "Way Down
South" will be given by the Shaffer and
Blakely Company. Miss Hilda Thomas, the
leading lady, has long been favorite In
New York, and will no doubt prove equally
popular here. The Clipper 4, an excellent
musical club, is with the company.
Frank Pearson's benefit at the National
Theatre on Thursday next will be one of
exceptional interest. The programme will
include VIII Mcdonald and Barnabee of
the Boston Ideals, Mrs. Stone Barton, the
Apolloj Club and Mr.. Pearson himself.
