HOW LUMBERMEN MEASURE LOGS.
The Prairie State Supplies Walnut, and IN
Indiana Is Obtained Oak and Sycamore.

illinois may be the prairie State but ga go
there for walnut logs and lumber" said rep
resentative of NJ. j. Osgood, the lumberman,
in discussing the log situation with journal
reporter. 1--WE handle only hard wood and like
the Indian and his hunting grounds, wehave to
know where to go for game. The lumber
get from Illinois is from the central ubrtion of
the State, along the Indianapolis & St Louis
railroad The northern part of the tie is
prairie dark in soil and low, until one aches
the extreme northern limit where hillJ and pine
begin to appear. The southern part of the
state popularity known Egypt, is full of sand
hills and jack oak. neither being very profitable
to anybody. We also go over into Missouri for
walnut lumber.
Indiana continues to be abundant in its sup
plies of oak and sycamore. There is a great
deal of poplar especially in the southern part
Of the State, while the supply of hickory and
maple will last for years. Logs measured
At the small end, inside the bark. We have log
sticks with all the computations of dimensions
made on the sides, as the weight notches are
placed in a scale beam These rules show in
stantly the number of feet of lumber in log of
any diameter and length. A tier of logs is gem

calls off the contents from the printed scale on
his stick. This avoids endless computation.
Logs can be measured in the tree with approx
innate accuracy. Run tape-line around the
butt. divide the distance by three and one sew
nth-multiplying by and dividing by
twenty two-and then approximate the number
of lineal feet of timber. An experienced
lumberman can tell what tree will make by
looking at it. Logs in the tree are worth from
40 cents to s1.20 hundred feet.
''The lumbef trade. like all others, is progress

instance. where freight rates are based on tom
mage, the lumberman now uses contrivances
for taking the sap out his boards, and re-
ducing their weight to the minimum. The most
popular process for drying is by steam. but other
sorts of kilns used. Where lumber is to be
made for fine work the logs are kiln dried. The
process is short one, depending somewhat on
the size of the log but being never more than
few days Some lumber is made so fine
such as veneering-that it cannot stand the
process of drying after it is cut, and must be
seasoned in the log"

EFFECT OF SNOW ON WHEAT.
II Is Essential to Good Crop and Is Very
Badly Needed in Indiana Now.

1.-THE season so far has not been favorable to
the growth of wheat and we are likely to have
\ short crop next season." said wheat-raiser to
a reporter Of the Journal. In the fall there
was a drought which prevented full termination
of the grain. After the roots finally struck
there came another severe test in the form of
that long dry spell which bred SO much typhoid
fever and dried up the rivers. When the rains
began month ago wheat was in bad condition.
Following the rains, and while much water
on the surface, this freeze came. Freezes of
wet soil always hurt the wheat, because they
burst the soil, tearing il from the roots of the
wheat-the farmers call il freezing OUT The
best thing for winter wheat is a deep, loose
snow. ltpregents the earth bursting by hold
Ing the soil in even temperature and at the same
tiFae gives tbs wheat air. A snow with heavy
casing of sleet Is harmful to wheat, because it
excludes the air. There elements in the at
mosphere which wheat must have at all seasons
The great danger in the absence of a snow is in
the possibility of the soil freezing and thawing
with the variable tempe nature of day. Snow
also does the earth good by keeping out the rays
of the sun. Soil in the shade is enriched by nj
trogen, and this element is good TO wheat Snow
has been called the poor mans manure and it
Is good name Without snow the wheat re-
sources of Indiana not very great. The re-
mainder OF the season may be so favorable that
the damage done will be overcome, but my pre- /
diction is that wheat will be good price next
year. The elements which have operated against
