When 20 Cut Timber.

The exact time at which timber should
be feTled for durability is one of the
things each man can best find out for
himself. The quality of timber depends
greatly on the treatment it receives af-
ter telling and the uses to which it is
put 1t is quite generally admitted that
timber trees should not be cut when
filed with sap, and tho usual custom
is to do it in the dormant season, but
whether early or late in winter is not
wen determined, and most people choose
the time without much regard to fall or
winter. A correspondent of The New
York World says: "Where the timber
tSto lie exposed and unseasoned in the
long winter climate of the north, pre-
fer March 70 December. For the south
sud6winter would probably be prefer
able, but 10 insure" durability for farm
purposesI believe as much ortmore do
ponds ON the care taken in seasoning it
as on'fhetimewhen lids felled."

ing else for the last five years, and have
not lost a colony, I make mine out of
half inch lumber, planed on both sides,
with seven-eighths inch dead air space
and loose bottom boards seven-eighths Of
an inch thick. In winter l simply fill
the cover with chat, first putting can
vas on top of the brood frames. These
hives are no heavier than hives made of
seven-eighths inch lumber and are much
cooler in summer They are the easiest
for tiering up for comb honey, for the
tiers can be run to any height, or can be
used for extracting, as l do, by putting
on extra brood chambers on top in place
of the sections.

In experiments m"Ge q. the Missouri
station by Director Sanb.n, to test the
question Of tho superiority Of food pre-
served in ailo over That air dried, the
the results reported We're ua"dyorahlo to
the silo in several partirdlars. IL was
shown that corn fodder may be success
fully dry stored and at cheaper rates
than when stored green; that given
amount Of fodder dry stored will last
longer than the same amount put into
the silo and that the dry fodder was
more cheaply handled and the general
effects of the feeding were better than
those received from feeding ensilage.
On the other hand. an experiment
made with ten cows at the Michigan
station showed that thc cusilage from an
acre and half Of corn (although nearly
quarter of it spoiled frcm lack Of care
in filing and FROM exposure during the
interim Of dried fodder feeding) lasted
longer than the stalks and corn and cob
meal from an equal area adjoining, dry
cured. and that the cows made more
pounds gain on it than On the dried fod-
der and meal. In answer TO inquiries
addressed by the station to Michigan
farmers as to the comparative cheapnesa
of storage in the silo, and whether this
method was considered by them an eco
nomical and satisfactory way of preserv-
ing food and one they would recommend
the replies were uniformly favorable to
the silo.

Artificial Fertilizers on wheat and Corn

Artificial Fertilizers on Wheat and Corn.
From a bulletin issued from the Ohio
experiment station it il learned that Ohio
farmers do not generally cultivate wheat
continuously on the same soil, but alter
nate wheat with other crops. Those who
use commercial fertilizers on wheat be
lieve them of special service to the grass
crop following, clover being considered a
grass" in farm practice. On the station
grounds, however, upon small plots,
cultivated in wheat for SIX years, the re-
suit las been that, as a rule, no more
wheat has been harvested from the plots
treated with commercial! fertilizers than
from those receiving none, whereas the
manures of the farm have produced a
marked increase Of crop when iudiciously
used. SO far as can be learned from
these experiments, the conclusion is that
in the majority of cases neither wheat
nor corn will rSturn sufficient increase
of crop TO cover the cost Of any artificial
fertilizer at the present ruling prices
