Its Value as . Wood to Be Cultivated by
Farmers. r@~
While much attention is being paid
to the Importance of systematic forestry,
systematic tree-planting is sadly neg
lected in many parts of our country
where it could be made profitable. In
the Middle and New England States
there are thousands of acres, once culti-
waited, that are now apparent waste ex-
cepting for pastures, which returns but
small revenue. There are many whole
farms no longer valuable foragricultural
purposes that could be made profitable
if planted with the common yellow
locust, valuable timber tree of easy,
rapid growth.
Some fifty years ago an Intelligent
farmer having large acreage in Long
Island on rocky land where profitable
tillage was impossible, planted about
thirty acres to the yellow locust, which
made rapid growth on the steep hills
among the rocks, the soil being moist,
lively loan. All underground was an
nually cut, which allowed fair growth
of grass that furnished good pasturage
the entire season.
After a period OF twenty years the
larger growths were eight or ten inches
in diameter, and from that time there
has been annually sold more in value
from this rocky waste than from the
most productive field of the farm, and
without expense other than the cutting
and getting to market.
The timber takes the first rank,
whether for strength or durability
among our forest trees. 1t is invaluable
in ship-building, as we'll as for posts OF
rails, and for railroad ties it has nc
equal: for the latter purpose alone il
would be remunerative industry or
lands now overgrown with comparative
ly useless timber. There are few tree:
that make a more rapid growth, or are
half so valuable. A peculiar feature o
the locust is that grass grows freely i,
its shade, which it will not do unde
most forest trees. When the planting il
once made no further attention is re
quired, other than to thin out annual,
all superhuous growths. It increase
so rapidly by suckers that this atten
tion becomes necessary in order to mak'
available the entire product of the soil
The same rule, we believe, is applied t.
; all tim ber growths.-American Garden

CARE OF BEES.

How They Should Be Fed and Treated
During the Winter Months.
There is but little opportunity during
the winter to give bees attention, and
the proper time to put them in shape is
during the summer months The
American Agr1culturist says the feeding
should all be done before cold weather
sets in, and they should be settled in
their winter quarters before READ winter
is at hand. It often occurs that winter
overtakes us with colonies that lack
food. In such cases we can not possibly
use sirup for food, as the weather is too
cold for the bees to seal it over, and un-
sealed stores will not serve properly for
winter. The moisture which always
arises from the bees in cold weather en-
ters the unsealed honey and dilutes it,
making it very unwholesome. Our only
resort, therefore, for feeding in cold
weather is to make candy and use it.
This is a very good and healthful food
if properly made and administered.
1t is made from granulated sugar by
melting it, adding little water-no
more than will thoroughly melt the
sugar-when it is boiled few minutes
and poured out into cakes or states of
three or four pounds each. When cool
this becomes very hard, almost like mock
candy. In feeding this it is placed ON
frames just over the cluster of bees
where they can have access to it at all
times. When in this position it receives
the heat arising from the bees and they
Femain on it all the time, 1t is so hand
that it will last them long while. This
candy may be given bees at intervals
during winter, and colonies may be
brought through in good shape that
would have otherwise perished. This,
or any other work that is necessary to
do with bees in winter, should be done
on warm days. twill not do to modest
them on cold day, but it should always
be done on days when the bees are

ABOUT FOOTBALL.

Grains VIII Heat Brute Strength Every
Time If Given \ Fair Chance.
"<Wlat makesa good football player?''
is a question asked over anE over again.
Many are the answers given, but no
answer is correct that does not contain
:he word ''pludk." The same elements
chat 90 to make up excellence in any of
The other field sports are requisite in
football; but'while in sertain of the
others that Epeculiar type of courage
sailed pluck is only required in mod
9rate degree, in football it is absolutely
Indispensable. Many "a man has said:
''Oh! ] am too small to play football; I
,ouAdn't get*Gn the tealE." Such a man
makesa mistake. Look at the records
,f our players and see how full they are
of the names OF small men. Withing-
ton, Gushing, Harding, Hodge, Beechor
Ind twenty others have played weigh
ing under ahundred and forty! Nor has
it been that their deeds have been re-
membered because performed by such
small men. These men made points as
wen as regulations. There is place
3n the football fold1for a man, no mat
ter what he weighs.
This brings us to oanother quality: the
brains of a team. The team is the best:
which has the most drains Football
is, Gwen now, an Hundeveloped sport.
There is r0am for An almost infinite
number of AS yet 'unthought of plays;
Every season brings forward many new;
ones. If a player wishes to devote a
little OF his spare time to fascinating
amusement, let him take pencil and
paper and plan out combinations in the
evening, and try them the next day.
He will soon find that he is bringing
out not only new but successful plays
Some think that the captain of the
| varsity team is the only one who has an
opportunity to try this; but if two or
three on the scrub side uvill make the
attempt they will find that varsity
team is no more proof against new
scheme than the veriest scrub team in
existence. In fact, <oftentimes the
varsity players are so sublime in their
own consciousness of superiority tina
they are the simplest men en- the field to
lead into traps, and defeat by little
exercise of ingenuity. If boy at
school isn't on the first team, he can get
together few men Of the second team
and have the satisfaction .sf actually
showing his betters how to play.
/ "Play not for gain but sport" is
thoroughly sound; but it means play
honestly and hard, not listlessly, and
make it yoar sport to win. Then it you
lose, put good face on it, butgo home
| and think out way to win next time.
| Brains will beat brute strength every
time if you give them fair play.
/ Endurance is another element of sue.
cess. Plenty of dash when it is neces.
sary, but behind it there must be the
steady, even, staying qualities. Fo,
these, good training is chiefly respon.
