A Good Forcing Crop, AffordinS n
New Opportunity to Gardeners.
The forcing OF dwarf or brush beans
under glass has been faycritc prac-
tice Mt certain seasons Of the year with
most gardeners, but it is believed that
the experiments Of Professor +. w.
Rane OF the New Hampshire station,
begun in 1867, il the forcing of the
pole or running varieties are perhaps
the first of thci' kind to claim atten-
tion. The pole bean, Ike cucumbcrs,
corn, etc, must have plenty Of head
room or space above the bench OF bed
in which to develop. Doubtless this
accounts for it's not having been con-
sidcrcd before. The modern lettuce
and cucumber hovsc, with the beds di-
rcctly on the ground, are well adapted
for this crop.

med up by himself was very satisfac-

SMALL TIMBER WASTED
Wisconsin Mans Criticism of Washington Mill
Methods.

eff Wisconsin sawmill men had
what Washington sawmills waste, we
would get rich in short time" said
George Clayton, Rhinelander, Wis,
lumberman. Mr.. Clayton and wife
are visiting the Coast on pleasure
tour, though he may ultimately invest
in our timber lands.
Speaking of waste, he continued: :
If we even had your four-f foot slabs
back there we would saw them up into
lumber and get $40 per thousand for
them. We don't make slabs at all in
Wisconsin, we just shave the log to a
four-inch surface and proceed to make
lumber of everything from four inches
in width up. We cut trees down that
will square five inches at the top, and
these logs are worth at the mills $3.50
a thousand. The lumber is i'm good
demand at $40 per thousand. Then
we get good deal more lumber out of
a given amount of logs back there, as
the bandsaw has entirely taken the
place of the old-style big-tooth circular
saws. Timber has grown scarce with
us, and we can't afford to waste it.
"There will be good deal of money
made in the numbering business out
here" he continued, but not by
those who are cutting it now. The
big fortunes will be made after the
heavy timber has been mostly cut
away. Trees that loggers won't look
at now will then be in demand at good
prices. and mills will make big profits.
That is the way it has been with us
back there, and conditions here will
ultimately he the same"
