ing older trees after they have ma
tured. A tree that has begun to decay
never gives out the sparkling, glowing
heat that sound timber shows. If
there are more such trees in the wood
lot than farm necessities require, they
should be disposed of in some way. OF
course, the good farmer prepares his
wood a long time in advance of use.
The idea that green wood will soon dry
out when exposed to winter air is not
correct. Mr.. Glidden once thus ex-
posed twenty pounds OF green oak
wood twenty days, and found it had
lost only one pound or five per cent.
in weight. Placed in an oven and
dried slowly until thoroughly sea-
soned, it lost five pounds or twenty
five per cent. Of its green weight. At
the outdoor rate it would have taken
nearly three months to season. The
experiment was with sixteen-inch body
wood, and if the figures are correct, a
cord of such wood will weigh 1850
pounds green, and 1140 pounds dry.
To prepare wood properly for the
kitchen range, the sticks, whatever the
size, should be as nearly square as
possible. A fiat stick is an abomina.
ton. II not more than an inch thick,
split it again to make it square. Wood
splits better when it is green, and the
job is better done where the tree falls,
leaving bark and litter where it will
do most good. Slab the log straight
across, to thickness of sticks. Quar-
tered blocks will give many three.sided
and fat sticks.

TO MAKE CLOVER CATCH AND GROW.


Everywhere are heard complaints of
the difficulty of securing u good catch
of clover, and the trouble seems to in
crease from year to year. One expla-
nation of this is that the humus is
gradually being exhausted from the
soil of many farms; and without
humus or some other material to start
the young plants, they perish rs soon
as they germinate. This is illustrated
on some ground now under observa-
tion. 1T had being cropped for long
time, until the humus was nearly all
gone. One portion of the field would
not grow anything of value. Last
spring the whole field being in wheat
was sown to clover. The weather
proved unfavorable. and there was no
catch at all except on the very poor
area where the wheat had been top
dressed with well-rotted stable manure.
There the catch was all that could be
desired. After the wheat had been re-
moved, a very thin dressing of manure
was spread over the whole field, and a
few days of rain coming, clover seed
was again sown and became established
before winter; but it would not have
lived had it not been for the manure
on the surface of the ground.
This result has now followed so fire.
quently in our hands that we feel sure
that on thin lands the place to apply
manure Is on the surface, there to re-
main and not to be plowed under.
Applied in this manner and mixed
through the soil with a cultiyator, it
will cause q heavy stand of wheat on
thin soil, and the wheat will be fol.
lowed by good catch of clover. To
secure this result it is not necessary
to make heavy application of ma.
nure, but a very thin application will
answer.
The clover plant thrives on lime. II
thirty bushels OF lime be applied per
acre it is almost sure to improve the
clover crops for a number of years. II
lime cannot be obtained, three or four
bushels OF land plaster, sown on the
fields in the spring when the clover is
just starting, will be followed by most
gratifying results. Lime a1 plaster
should always be placed n top the
ground and not plowed uu-cr. They
will work down soon enough. 1t is said
that DIR. Benjamin Franklin intro,
duced the use OF plaster on clover by
sowing it in a field on the principa
road leading into Philadelphia. 1t wa,

which are such q nuisance in stubble
fields are in this way gotten rid OF and
at once put TO good use, mulching

There is no use at all In sowing thinly

The proper time to SOW is also an
important element in securing q good
catch. Some prefer very early seed.
ing, Others to wait until the weather
has become settled. IL must be said
that when the soil is unfavorable, the
chances hre most in favor of the early
sowing, Some SOW on light SHOWS in
March, trusting as the snow melts the
seeds will with it enter the ground.
Others SOW when the soil is opened
and porous from frost. Others when
rain is promised, this carrying the
seed into the soil. II the ground has
become hard and dry, there is no use
sowing clover seed and expecting it to
catch. Such ground must be opened
up with a harrow, when the seed may
be sown with hope of success. An
ordinary spike harrow may be run
over fields of wheat in the spring with
out doing any material damage to the
grain plants.
Glover should always be sown with
some other crop in order to furnish
shade to the young plants; if they
cannot endure the hot sun until estab-
lished. -C. @. Croft, in New York In.

Paper Railroad Rails,

A notable success is recorded by the
Paper Trade Journal in the intrSduc.
tion of railroad rails in Germany and
Russia made from paper material. In
the production OF such rails wood
pulp has not been found adapted, but
ordinary pul p from rags, rope stock,
ETC., is resorted to, the processes of
grinding, cooking, digesting and
working OF these into a pulpy con.
dition being accomplished in regular
order, with care, of course, to have
the stock in uniform preparation and
the fiber As well preserved as possible;
and, when in pulpy condition, the
ingredients for stiffening the rail to
a proper toughness and efficiency-so
as to stand excessive wear and friction
from the wheels, and for imparting
elasticity, smoothness and other re-
quirements-are applied. Quantities
OF borax, litharge, paraffine wax, tan
ners' grease, waterproof fish glue,
rosin and fine cement are used in Ger.
tain proportions, being added to the
pulp while it is yet warm; mixing
follows, and the Ingredients are thor
Uughly combined with the fiber; q
quantity OF shellao and wood alcohol
is next put into the mixture, and the
mass, after being subjected to another
stirring, is then allowed to settle.

prehistoric beasts still inhabit that
country.

The Food Man Needs

''As in the daily wear and tear OF
life great deal of the substance of a
mans body is used up, it is absolutely
necessary that the repair to the body
be carefully and Systematically looked
after, writes Mrs. S. I. Rorer in the
Ladies' Home Journal. "Then, too,
man must create heat and force, ac.
cording to the climate in which he
lives and the occupation he follows.
A wise con- bination of food is there
fore necessary to keep the body in
working order. In cold weather we
need larger amount OF carbonaceous
foods-fats, sugars, and starches-
than we do in summer. In the hot
climates and during the hot months
fruit and green vegetables, containing
the salts necessary to keep the blood
in good condition, should be used
freely. According to our method of
living in this country, we should take
about two parts of repair food, such
as meat, eggs, milk. cheese, or in the
vegetable kingdom, the old peas,
beans, and lentils, to three parts of
carbonaceous food, such as white
bread. potatoes, rice, butter, cream,
and fats of all kinds. Then we must
have certain amount of bulky or
watery vegetables, such as lettuce,
spinach, cabbage. onions, and also the
fruits. In making out a daily ration
we should have at the beginning of
the meal some light dish that may be
taken slowly, to prepare the stomach
for the food that is to follow, then Il
meat or its equivalent. With beef we
should serve potatoes; with mutton,
rice. With chickens, either rice or
potatoes.

Fatal FOrgetfulness.

There is no known altidote for the
bite of the tiger snake of Australia.
Persons bitten die almost Instantly,
and the Government has standing Of
fer of $4,000 for amy one who will dis.
cover a remedy. Some few years ago
man named Underwood actually dis
covered an efficacious antidote. To
prove its value he allowed himself to
be bitten repeatedly by snakes in
full possession of the power to kill.
He offered his discovery to the Gov
ernment for $4,000, but this amount
they thought exorbitant. One day he
gave an exhibition before some Govern
ment officials, but being much under
the influence of liquor, he did not re-
collect what he had done with his an
tidote. and he died shortly after the
snakebite, his secret perishing with
him.
