was carried into a nearby drug store,
where she died five minutes later.
She had been ailing for about n week
and had gone to Wilkes Barre for
treatment by physician there. and
was ABOUT to start home at the time.
The saddest feature attached to the
sudden demise is the fact that Mrs.

Crimson Clover.

This crop closely follows rye in the
feeding rotation and has proved very
valuable in New Jersey. 1t has been
proved to be quite as hardy as the red
clover and has yielded from s to II
tons of green forage per acre, depend
ing upon the method of seeding, wheth-
er on raw ground or as a cover crop.
Experience in the growth of this crop
indicates that July is the best month
for seeding, though it may be seeded as
late as September and do well provided
the autumn is moist and warm. The
best crop results are obtained when the
soil is thoroughly prepared and the
seed lightly covered with harrow or
other tool which does not cover too
deeply. The amount of seed may range
from 10 to 10 pounds per acre. On
freshly prepared soil the smaller guam
tity frequently answers quite as well
as the larger, though when seeded in
corn or other crop the larger quantity
is Dtpfpra bile

Irrigation Experience.

1t has been found by nearly all OBJ
servant irrigators OF the plains that
winter irrigation, thoroughly done,
serves very well the double process of
fertilizing and moistening. One farmer
states that after eight years of expert
ence in irrigation he has had the best
average results where he has thorough
~ saturated the soil to a depth of two
or three feet during the fall or winter
or very early spring and has then cult
waited his crops on this land without
subsequent irrigation. a Kansas farm
er has found that land thoroughly ir-
rigated, well cultivated and afterward
sown in wheat produced surprisingly
well without any irrigation after the
wheat was sowed, while similar land
that had not been irrigated gave n very
poor yield. The general experience of
orchardists favors winter irrigation.
Not unlikely common practice will con-
sist in thoroughly wetting the soil in
winter, when evaporation is at mini
mum, with such subsequent irrigation
as may be found desirable to maintain
the maximum growth.

losses through ordinary numbering are
considerable in the aggregate. Some
of the items connected with unneces-
sary waste are as follows:
Where the numbering is done under
the system of contracts and subcOn-
tracts, the temptation for jobber to
do careless work is very great. Unless
carefully watched he is apt to cut I'M
necessarily high stumps, TO leave large
tops in order to avoid the trouble Of
trimming off the branches, to leave
trees lodged in hard woods and other
wise 10 fall below the standard of good
numbering.
The principal loss arising from care
less numbering is occasioned by %
needlessly high stumps, % large tops,
o. skids left in the woods, ca valuable
timber used in leveling roads and %
destruction of small growth in telling,
skidding and hauling.
When the trees are felled by chop
ping. the stumps are cut at the point ut
which the Ak naturally falls when the
chopper stands erect. This is usually
about three inches above the ground.
somewhat lower, averaging about 80
inches in height. The sawyers protest
against cutting low stumps, because it
tires their backs to stoop over EXpe-
rlence by careful lumbermen has prov
ed that such high stumps are entirely
needless.
Where numbering is done under con
tract II has been the usual custom in
the Adrondacks to cut only logs which
will scale six inches at the top end
Where timber Is cut for pulp smaller
logs can be used and many companies
which operate their own camps compel
the choppers to cut logs as small as
five and often four inches. The aver
age size of the top log is nearer eight
inches. There are in some cases to
l. feet of wood left in tops which is fit
for pulp and which is actually SO used
by many companies.
The point will ut once be raised that
the tops are OF inferior quality. The
reply is that many companies use this
material and that the total amount is
so great that il would pay TO utilize II
even at only one-fourth the price of the
rest of the timber.
The majority OF sideways are built
of spruce. 1t is the custom TO leave the
skidS in the woods, and the owner
loses not only the stumpage value of
the timber thus wasted. but also the
advantage of future increment which
the trees would take on il left stand
ing.
Destruction OF small growth in haul

one Thing and Another.

The Angora goat industry seems to
be on the boom, particularly in Wash
ington and Oregon, where the goats are
reported a great success both for clear
ing land and the production of wool.
One of the things which make alfal-
IA so valuable is its ability to thrive on
land containing a considerable quanti-
ty of alkali. There are few cultivated
crops that will stand as much alkali as
this
1t is said that two-thirds of the
broom corn of the world is grown in
four counties in Illinois.
According to DIR. +. d. Coburn, the
popular Poland China hog, originating
in Ohio between 1888 and 1870 is pre-
eminently an American product and
probably now numbers as many indi
viduals as all other breeds combined IN
the United States.
Irrigation has been found to afford
very complete protection from frost in
fields, orchards and vineyards which
are equipped with irrigation bitches,
and in the cranberry districts of Wis
consin perfect protection from damage
by frost is secured by flooding the
cranberry marshes the day before
heavy frost occurs in that section.

SUGAR BEET PULP.
A source Of Profit UnreaIized by
Many Farmers.

There is one side9,of the beet sugar
industry which Oregon authorities
think is not receiving the attention it
deserves, and that is the feeding Of
beet pulp to cattle and sheep. G. w.
Shaw finds no reasonable excuse, in q
region where excellent alfalfa is grown,
for neglecting this side Of the industry
both for fattening stock and the manu-
facture Of dairy products. He is Of
the opinion that the fullest fruits Of
the industry viii never be realized till
attention is given to this phase of the
subject Nothing has been more con-
clusively demonstrated than that beet
pulp Is a most excellent cattle, sheep
and hog food when properly balanced
with heterogeneous material, as alfalfa,
clover or grain. While the leaves and
tops are good food, pulp is much better
Beet pulp is not a balanced ration,
and the best results cannot be expect
ed from feeding it alone, though it is a
healthful and nutritious food. It's
chief components are the carbohy-
drates and proteids. 1t is essentially
a fattening food. Experience has shown
thdL II - TelISHed ny udlTy cdllle anu
poduces an excellent flow of milk when
balanced with heterogeneous foods. The
pulp is valuable not only as cattle food,
but also as food for hogs and sheep.
In Utah it is largely used as hog food.
1t IS one of the cheapest foods that
farmers can use, for it can be pur-
chased at a very nominal figure. Each
team as it delivers its load Of beets
should take home a load Of beet pulp.
This pulp should be placed in a si!o,
where it Is much more easily kept than
any other silage material. 1t is very
heavy and sinks down to a very solid,
eheesy mass. When properly pre-
can be kept a very long time.
