In the selection of these lands for
forest reserves, President Cleveland
vas guided by the recommendations of
committee appointed for the purpose
by the National Academy of Sciences
at the request of the secretary of the
interior. This committee has recent
~ made a detailed report which the
President has transmitted to congress.
looking to the adoption of a definite
forestry policy. The committee rec
ommends the establishment of a per
manent bureau Of public forests. and
the appointment of a board to deter
mine what lands shall be set apart as
forest reservations 1t suggests that
all public lands which are more yalu-
aele for timber than for agriculture or
minlng should be withdrawn from sale
ana settlement; and it recommends
mat regular troops be detailed to pro-
tect the public forests until a perma-

east OF the Mississippi, fairly well
adapted to the business, but ! shall ex-
pect never 10 see a successful sugar

Therefore, | would advise our excellent
Secretary OF Agriculture to go slow in
pushing this scheme here, and caution
our farmers not to waste much time

years ago sugar-making scheme was
launched in northern Delaware, and
a large factory was built near Whining

dead failure. A gentleman thoroughly |
conVersant with the enterprise in all /
IT'S details, informs me that they had a
splendid factory, fully equipped for /

New Jersey. Delaware and eastern

TO the growth of sugar beets. The

| Elaborate tests Of the draft of wide
and narrow tired wagons have just
been completed by the Missouri Agri-
cultural college experiment station, Co
lumbia. extending over period of a
year and a half These tests have
been made on macadam, gravel and
dirt roads in all conditions, and also
on the meadows and plowed fields of
the experimental farm. Contrary to
public expectation, in nearly all cases
draft was materially lighter when tires
six inches wide were used, than with
tires of standard width. The load
hauled was in all cases the same, and
the draft was most carefully deter
mined by means of u self-recording
dynamometer. The beneficial effect of
the wide tire on dirt roads Is striking
ly shown in some recent tests at the
station, the Columbia Herald says. A
clay road. badly cut into ruts by the
narrow tires, was selected Tor the test,

creased draft; the second by q draft |

Care In rertlll.lng Orchards.

1t is hard to get the soil too rich or
too full of vegetable matter for the
best production of vegetables. With
fruits the case is different. To secure
the best results on thin land orchards
must be fertillzed but it must be done
with care and judgment. Excessive
applications of stable manure or 9TH
er heterogeneous fertilizer. should always
be avoided especially after trees reach
bearing age. Such applications induce
a rank, sappy growth that makes pear
trees much more liable to blight. and
will surely cause destructive rotting of
the stone fruits. With apples there is
less danger. and they may safely be
fertilized quite heavily. Excessive
wood growth is. however. never desir-
able in bearing orchard of any kind.
The trees should be carefully watched
and be given such treatment as will
give crop of well developed fruit.
and at the same time moderate
growth of well matured wood. The
leaves should always be OF dark rich
green. for pinched yellow foliage in
dicates starvation.

Corn Sold in Cattle.

Last summer an Otoe county farmer
held an invoice of his situation and
found that all he had with which to
provide winter supplies, clothing
food, etc, for his large family, and to
show for his summers work was 1000
bushels of corn. says Nebraska Farmer
Ten to twelve cents per bushel would
not do for him, nor let him out He
went up to the South Omaha stock
yards and presented his case so plain
ly that he was permitted to drive to
his home 101 head of steers. These he
cared for until the last of January
when his 1900 bushels of corn was
gone. The steers looking fat and
sleek were shipped to Chicago and a
good price paid for them. After pay
ing first cost at Omaha, interest. and
all other expenses, this man found that
he had realized on his 1000 bushels OF
corn 90 is cents net per bushel. be-
sides having on hand carload of fat
hogs and a lot of the richest kind of
fertilizers to distribute over his farm.
