According to a compilation mad,

According to a compilation made by
che Land Office OF the State of Wash
ington, Is, 1858 square miles in the
State were originally covered with
merchantable timber fur, cedar, hem.
lock and spruce. One-ffth of this
area has been ravaged by fire, 234 per
cent. has been cut, and the remainder,
or 9039 miles, is covered with stand
ing timber. Upon this timbered area
there is estimated to be standing IO3,-
500, SIG, 900 feet, board measure,
which in itself is sufficient to supply
the sawmills OF the United States for
four years under the present rate of
cutting. By q comparative table the
reports show that with the single ex-
ception of the redwood forests of CAL
ifornia, the forests of Washington are
the densest, heaviest and most con.
tinuous in the United States. With
the exception of a few prairie openings
and where the timber has been re-
moved by fire or the axe, they cover
the country as q thick mantle from
high up on the Cascade range west
ward to the shores Of the Pacific.

Anybody who thinks that farming
is not an exact science should read the
marking list established by the Indiana
Board of Agriculture for judging corn.
We reproduce She essential points:
Uniformity Of. variety and exhibit, ten
points. Purity of color in both grain
and cob, seven points. Condition Of
marketableness. ten points. Perfec-
ton and uniformity of grain, three
points. Length of ear. five points
Circumference cf ear. FIVE points.
Straightness and regularity of rows
Of grains, ten points. Ter cent. Of
grain, twenty-five points. A perfect
ear OF orn in the northern third Of
the State should be nine inches in
length; in the central third, ten inches
in the southern third, eleven inches.
The diameter a to length should be
as one to four. The ear should yield
ninety per cent. Of grain. The ear
should taper slightly, approaching the
cylindrical to near thepoint. II should
be we'll filed out ~ both ends, with
rows Of grain regular and straight,
Nothing could be clearer or mnro

Development Of the Newspaper.

When you open up your newspaper
it may cause you to feel some wonder
if you know that in all probability
yours are the first hands that have
' e touched it's inside pages. The
reason for this is that the paper is
made from woodpulp. The woodman
cuts down q spruce tree. It is hauled
to the mill. There machinery strips
off the bark, reduces the wood to pulp
and makes 1t into paper. At every
turn cranes, 6erricks, chains, cogs,
rollers, steel teeth and other me-
chanical c~ontrivances keep the ma
terial out of human hands. The inn
men rolls are wound by machines,
loaded into car and wagon by ma
,hinery. put into press-room and on
presses by other machinery, and
inally printed and folded without
having been directly touched by any
human hand. This Is q mechanical
marvel Of to-day which is no doubt
duplicated in other branches of in-
lustry. 1t is very striking in tho
newspaper industry, which stands in
The very front rank Of mechanical per.
fection.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

The Minneapolis Times, discussing
the theory Of municipal ownership,

too advanced a theory to be practical

Municipal ownership is q practical

are only a stimulant to an American.
