The destruction OF forest timber by
means other than grubbing the trees
out has. for many years. been an object
| for research by eSperimentslists. ana
various recipes have been given as IN
| taIlible but there has always been
| law somewhere. and the discovery has

| one method OF getting rid OF heavy
timber which has proved successful
although very slow. and consequently
can only be adopted where the necessi-
iy does not exist for speedy work. says
the Queensland Agricultural Gazette
Some dozen acres ut Woody Point
have been cleared OF very large trees
some white gums especially having
diameter OF from six TO seven feet The
!aad was heavily tlmbered. and yet
ras cleared at cost OF about 26s. per
acre. The owner. who is fond OF max
ing experiments In this line. found In
an American paper n process OF de-
stroying growing trees. and determined
20 try Il on his land. With an inch
augeE he bored deep holes in the trees
and hlled them with powdered salt
vetTc. He then plugged up the holes.
and on examining them some weeks
St;crward he found that the salt had
been entirely absorbed. He replenished
the holes two or three times and walled

had Increased In density and beauty

given them new life. aS It was carried
with the circulating sap from roofs TO
leaves. Evidently something was
wrong. After time he me; Canadian
gentleman to whom he casually men

his opinion that he could not have read
the recipe correctly. Tho Canadian.
however, told him that he was quite
tight. Sai,pctrc was the only insFe-
G!ent used. and thousands Of acres were
cleared by its use In Canada What had

man set to work and carried out the

quite dead he set them on frc. with the
result that tho trees burned completely
out. even TO the farthosi tips OF the
roots. Before all were burned out
heavy rains came on and n~amped the

horticultural Ob.er,Htien.

From time to time We hear reports
of the enormous profits realized from
gardens under glass. An English gar
dener claimed n short time ago that
he could make more money from ten
acres under glass than most men could
make from 10000 acres OF land not un-
der glass. This is probably n little
strong for most OF US TO accept. How
ever. that enormous sums are made by
men that farm under glass Is true. but
II is also true that the expense Is cor
rcspondingly great. The writer knows
OF man a, Minneapolis who has n
considerable area under glass. lie
sells annually several thousand dol
lars worth OF cucumbcrs and tomatoes
before other growers set the same
products into the market. As he has
no competition he can set his own
price. and he does. We have recently
seen an account OF German gardener
located near LcadyIlie. Colo. who sells
several thousand dollars worth OF
cueumbcrs each winter from his glass
garden. charging sometimes as high rs
~ cents per cucumber.

New Use for Dried Apples.

1t seems that the consumption OF
wine in France Is steadily diminishing
owing partly to the prevailing opinion
among the common people that wine
Is too frequently injuriously adulter-
ated. SO they have turned to bever-
age which they believe is too cheap to
warrant adulteration, namely, cider.
In 1895 the consumption of cider
In Paris alone was upwards of
100000 gallons. But in 1898 owing
10 the failure OF the apple crop in the
provinces where the product was made,
the elder consumption dropped to com
raratvely nothing. Owing to the pro-
hibitlve duties on cider of about six
teen cents a gallon in Paris, its ex-
tensiye importation was impossible. 1t
