The western hemlock is to be the
subject of a special investigation this
summer by the division of forestry and
a party of experts will spend several
months in the Puget Sound region
making observations and measure
ments of that species of hemlock. Al
though one of the largest and most
widely distributed trees in the PACING
northwest, it suffers from the preJu-
dice against the eastern hemlock, q
closely allied, but much inferior
species, and for this eason has almost
20 commercial value. 1t grows at its
best on the cool damp slopes OF thG
Washington and Oregon mountains,
where it is frequently zoo feet high AMI
10 feet in diameter, or even largerr IL
favorable situations. 1t occasionally
forms a dense, pure forest. but is more
often mixed with Red Fir, the most
important timber tree of the north
west, n is usually left standing by
the lumbermen because there is no
sale for the lumber. The wood OF the
western hemlock is less apt TO De
shaky, is stronger, more durable, and
M easily worked than that of the
eastern species. The bark is said 10
contain much more tannin. BY the
present method of numbering, immense
quantities of hemlock are destroyed
annually, for it is left to be burned by
the fires which frequently follow the
removal of the fir. 1t is believed that
If this hemlock can be given its trua
value before the public, logging meth
DDS may be modified, and IVA If the
market develops slowly, there will be
a greater effort to prevent waste. Al
important feature of this investigation
will be to ascertain the rate of growth
and the time required to produce a
merchantable stand. The western hem
lock possesses remarkable powers of
reproduction and may be counted on
10 refores: logged-off areas.

Wnsn,t Just Snre.

Sir William McCormac, the president
Of the Royal College of Surgeons of
London, is at times quite absent-mind-
ed. He is an interchangeable worker,
and often, to save time, when study
ing in his laboratory, has a light lunch
con served there. Once his assistant
heard him sigh heavily, and, looking
up, saw the doctor glaring at two
glass receptacles on the table.
"What is the matter, doctor?" asked
one of the youngsters.
Nothing in particular" was the re-
ply, "only l am uncertain whether L
drank the beef tea or that compound I
am working on."-Argonaut.

The number and variety of knives
and forks that now grace a we'll
equipped and formal dinner table NAV
well dismay one unused to such a
v~ariegated display of cutlery and sill
yer. There are forks for the oysters,
for the fish and for the roast, and
forks as well for anything else that
may be served. There are also knives
to correspond to the forks that may be
needed. These implements that social
convention DEGREES to be necessary to
convey food to the mouth are usually
laid out in formidable rows on either
side of the plate. The other evening
a simple western maiden at her first
eastern dinner surveyed her supply of
knives and forks with growing trepi-
dalton. Her common sense told her
that they were laid out in the regular
order in which it was intended that
they should be used, but nothing in
her experience had taught her which
was the right end of the row to start
in with. Finally, in despair, she
sought help from her next-door neigh
Dor, a prominent physician. Say,
Doc" she questioned anxiously, as she
at the offending objects, "do
you eat out or in?"

When Is a Lamb FatY

1t is important that the practical
feeder be able to determine when
lambs are properly finished and in the
most satisfactory and profitable con-
dition for the market. This is not
always an easy task; experienced feed
ers are sometimes deceived. AS an aid
in studying this matter, the following
directions, prepared by Prof. John A.
Craig of the animal ~husbandry de-
partment of the Iowa Agricultural Col
lege, for the instruction of students.
are Of interest: When put into the
feed lot under proper conditions, lambs
will usually begin to show the infiu-
ence of good feeding at the end OF the
third or fourth week. During this
time they seem to be simply getting
into good condition to put on flesh,
though it appears that some flesh is
being deposited internally. Toward
the end of that time many of the
lambs may be noticed standing lels-
urely in the sun In a partially
stretched posture. This pose in the
lambs is a delight to the shepherd
The fattening process seems to extend
from the internal regions, and is hrst
in evidence at the tail. 1t then passes
along the back over the shoulder and
reaches the neck; from this line II
seems to extend down the sides p
over the breast in front. There are
six main points at which its extension
seems most in evidence-at the tail,
middle of the back, the neck, the
flank, the purse and the breast.

A great many of the census emu
merators have given up their jobs in
more or less disgust. When the an
nouncement was made that the popula-
ton c~anvassers would be appointed on
a certain date there were several thou
sand more applications at the office
next day than there were places for.
Politics was considered very little in
the selection of the men, and every
thing looked promising. When the
final work of preparation was begun it
resembled clear sailing until the can
vassers found out something about the
task that confronted them. One of
them in resigning to Chief Agent Bea-
ston of Philadelphia said: What do
you think am? l have to ask twenty
W questions for 2k cents. That's =
good job, nit! You can have it,"

1t is predicted in London that IN
less conditions change American -four
will soon compel the closing OF the
mills of England. In France American
flour is able to pay the high tariff
duties and proftably compete with
French-milled flour. 1t is claimed that
American millers can grind the wheat
into flour cheaper than British or
French millers. A comparison of the
ordinary -four mills of European coun-
tries with those of the United States
carries out this assertion. Long ago
in this country the old-fashioned grist
mill gave place to the merchant mill
and the roller process took the place
of the grinding process. Water power
and steam engines of the most eff
Gent and economical character are be-
ing used as motive power. In fact, in
America the milling industry has been
reduced to the most economical meth
DDS.

The prospect for fruits in this state
has not materially changed since my
last report in February.
The strawberry crop will be less
than half Of last year.
The raspberry will not give more
than half a full crop.
The blackberry will be a good one
never better.
The currant and gooseberry) will
fruit about as usual.
The grape gives promise of an
abundant crop.
The apple prospect is bright and we
hope to see one of our usual good
crops again, and be able to supply the
markets Of our land.
The pear buds have not been in
jured thus far.
The peach buds have been about one
half killed and the trees are short of
their full amount of their bearing
wood, hence we can expect about a
half crop from our large orchards.
The plum will hold it's usually good
crop.
The cherry buds are all sound thus
far.
The ounce crop will be a good one
also.-L. A. Goodman, Secretary Mis-
souri, State Horticultural Society.

The cypress in ancient times was
considered a sacred tree and idols
were made of cypress wood. The Pa
office coast Indians used it as an en-
blem Of publication. The Dakotan In
dams had a superstition concerning
the cedar tree. They imagined that
thunder was a manifestation of the
storm god Wa-Kan-Da, thunder birds,
as his messengers, producing the noise
designated as thunder. These birds
lived in cedar trees, and hence the
cedar tree became an object of worship
and the cedar pole an emblem of the
highest value.

Washing Wool.

Sheepmen are quite generally aban-
don1ng the washing of wool on the
sheep or any other way. The prices
received for washed over unwashed
wool is now not enough 10 pay for
the work and for exposing the sheep
to colds from the water. The CEN
trifugal machines hat wash the wool
so quickly and thoroughly are too
keen competitors Of the shepherd.
Perhaps the washed wool is really a
little more valuable, but if it is the
buyer is unwilling to make induce
ments in the way of better prices.

We believe hat the orchard should
be kept clean. Dead wood should not
be permitted to accumulate ON the
trees, and after it is cut off it should
not be permitted to lie around on the
ground. 1t should be raked up with
the dead leaves and burned, and this
should be done at least once a year.
The fence should not be permitted to
become a windrow of rubbish and
weeds should not be permitted to grow
unhindered along it. This harbor for
insects and fungous diseases should he
abolished or never permitted to exist.

The writer this week went past an
old orchard that had long ago seen
It's usefulness. 1t is in the midst OF
q n1au,ol Go1A onJ hoorc nuidpnPn Of
being cared for to some extent. But
it should be cut down and used for
firewood, as it has passed the period
of profitable bearing. No pruning can
recover it. Most of the tops are gone
and those that remain are filled with
dead wood and multitudes of twigs.
Yet the old man that is still holding
onto it remembers the day of his youth
and of it's youth, and still hopes. If an
orchard is to be there at ali it should
be a new orchard. Without doubt
there are many such cases of de-
parted glory on the farms of Illinois.
The fruit growers of the north seem
to have an advantage over the south
ern fruit growers at the present time.
1t used 10 be thought that the men
that went to Georgia and Florida had
taken to lands Of eternal sunshine and
to the growing Of fruit. where condi-
tions were SO favorable that failure
could not result. But during the last
few years the fruit plantations in
Florida have suffered repeated disas-
tiers. The orange groves have been
cut down by cold again and again. In
Georgia the immense orchards of peach
trees that promised to swamp the
northern markets have been killed
back to such an extent that it will be
some years before they regain their
normal conditions. In the north fruit
growing has not suffered so extensive
ly as in the south.
