OUT OF TUNE.
Stoves UnevennesS on It's Feet At
facts q Pianos Sweetness
OF Tone.

The girl had a new piano. She was a
musical girl, and it was as nice piano
as could be found. When she had it
properly set up and ready for use there
was probably not Il happier girl. But
as she sat down to play Il look Of dis
content and wonder spread over her
face. 1t was strange, but this new
piano was certainly out of tune; GER
tain notes sounded like the hammering
of a piece of iron. That would never
do; she couldn't play on n piano like
that; she couldn't understand it, either,
for certainly that piano had very sweet
tone in the shop. So the piano man was
sent for in great haste, and came to see
what the trouble was, very much as
tonished himself. He ran his fingers
over the piano and then, turning, gazed
curiously around the room.
THAT is a most curious and i'm
pertinent man." thought the girl, as
she watched him, his fingers moving
over the keys, but his eyes wander
ing searchingly from one piece of
furniture to another. Finally he left
the piano, went to stove in the room,
tucked piece of paper under one leg,
and went back to the piano, when,
strange to say, every note was as sweet
and clear and full as could have been
desired and there was not n suspicion
of discord. During the cold weather q
stove had been placed III the room, and,
not standing evenly, with certain vi
brations of the piano it was made to
move and there followed n little clat-
tering of iron, which, coming stimuli
taneously with the striking of the keys
on the piano, sounded as if that instru-
ment had produced the disagreeable
sound.
THAT is all right now" said the man
as he lei; the piano, "only it was stove
man you needed instead of the piano
man."

FRED WHITES EFFORTS.
[Carroll Herald.l


We don't call III question Fred
Whites ability" whatever that is.
He is able" enough. but he is an ex-
tremist. In other ages he would be a
fanatical prosecutor or a martyr, ac-
cording to his environments. He has
strength and persistence. but in this
he is not at his best. He can
not make a strong speech against his
country in war, for the reason that
heretofore he has been on the side of
his country, and his audiences are not
in sympathy with him. Hence he is
apologetic n strained and but traces
of his old-time vigor as a campaigner
are in evidence. The current is against
Mr.. White and his party in this anti
imperial business and 1t is impossible

who may avail themselves of the coop
erative plan outlined in this circular.
Applications for such assistance will be
considered in the order of their receipt,
but the division reserves the right to
give preference to those likely TO fur
nish the most useful object lessons.
After an application has been made and
accepted, the superintendent OF tree
assistants. will visit the land of the ap-
plicant, and, after adequate study on
the ground, will make a working plan
suited to it's particular conditions. The
purpose of this plan is to give help in
the selection of trees, information in
regard to planting, and instruction in
handling forest trees after they are
planted.
Briefly stated, the division proposes
to give such aid to tree planters that
woodlots, shelterbelts. windbreaks and
all other economic plantations of forest
trees may be so we'll established and
cared for as to attain the greatest use
fulness and most permanent value to
their owners.
Ii the tract to be devoted to tree
government will render all it's services
free; if the area is greater han five
acres the actual and necessary expenses
for travelling and subsistence is to be
paid by the owner of the land. This is
certainly a liberal offer on the part of
the government.
The circular we'll states that to the
majority of people there is nothing else
so attractive about a home as trees. A
well-planted woodlot, in two or three
years after its establishment, will pro-
vide the farmer with a supply OF trees
to plant along the roads and for n
mental about buildings and
gardens. AS the trees in a plantation
begin to crowd each other many may be
removed with material advantage to
those that remain, care being taken not
to Interfere With the shading of the
ground. The superfiuous trees often a
the cost of cultivation and care for the
plantation afteri it is once established.
The cost of planting and the subse-
quent care of a forest plantation varies
greatly. Much depends upon the kinds
of trees planted, the cost of labor, and
The character of the soil. In most places
in the west trees can now be bought
Very cheaply. Deciduous trees of one
seasons growth, which under most con-
ditions is the best age for general
planting. can be purchased in quantity
at prices varying from Go cents tn So
per thousand. But even at this price in
the case of the harder trees. such as
green ash. soft maple, white elm, box
eldar. cottonwood. aspen and locust, ii
is much more convenient and usually
cheaper for the farmer to grow his own
seedlings.
The stock for a mixed plantation OF
desirable species, one year old, set -four
feet apart each way, should be obtained
AT the cost of from 81 to 50 per acre
For older stock and for species difficult
to grow from seed or rare in nurseries
the cost will be much greater.
This offer of the agricultural depart
ment is so tempting that many are
availing themselves of it and viii prof,
by it.

DRY TIME AT STATE CENTER.
TEnternriSa.1

~ AeSsI
The water question is coming to be a
serious matter and IL this dry weather
continues much longer there is liable to
be more or less suffering for want of
the refreshing fluid. The town we'll on
the West & Mcmahon corner is so near
ly dry that the water commissioners
have forbidden the watering of stock
there. The pump across the street.
however. has been repaired and present
needs may now be supplied from that
source. But the greatest danger arises
from the liability of fire now that every
thing is as dry as finder. Monday there
was only a little over five feet of water
in the tank and the town authorities
manifested considerable uneasiness. The
windmill is so badly out of repair that
it has been declared utterly useless and
ordered taken down. and the tower will
no doubt ordered removed at the first
meeting of the council to make room for
the electric light power house, which is
now practically assured in view of the
fact that the bonds have been disposed
of. A tread power has been provided
for pumping and as soon as
the city pumps are put in order the
tank will be filled and kept as full as
the supply will permit.
