RINGS ON YELLOW PINES.
Two Circles of New Fiber Blending
Into One Mark Each Year.

Two Circles of New Fiber Blending
Into One Mark Each Year.
at is very curious to note the sue
cessive growth circles of our yellow
pines," said veteran lumberman from
the Pearl river district. Until my at
tention was especially directed to the
subject by a forestry expert a few
years ago | had no idea that the mark
ings were so beautifully clear and dis
tinct The tree acquires two rings of
new fiber every year, one In the spring
and one in the fall. but they blend to-
gether and form a single, well defined
circle.
During the first ten years these
successive denominations are of about
equal thickness. and for the next two
decades the diminution is very slight,
but after that the rings become thinner
and thinner, and when the tree gets in
to the eighties and ninetles the growth
is very slight indeed-in fact, a mere
film. Nevertheless the ring Is always
formed as long as the tree lives and
can be clearly discerned with glass
after 1t ceases to be visible to the max
ed eye.
During the visit of the expert to
whom referred we cut good deal of
timber on my place ranging between
16 and IS inches in diameter. That
tree is 125 years DID, he would say,
that one Is 100. that is about 140,' and
SO on Afterward we measur, the
growth rings with the instruments he
carried. and in every instance he had
hit the age within a few years. 1t
seemed wonderful, but was simply the
result of experience combined with an
accurate eye
"There are some very ancient pine
trees In the Pearl river district, and
many Of them figure In the traditions
and folklore Of the settlers In their
neighborhood. There are a couple of
such patriarchs on tract near my
mill, and when the standing timber
of the place was recently sold / am
glad to say they were especially ex-
cepted In the terms of the contract. It
would have seemed like murder to
some of the country folks If they had
been cut down."-New Orleans Times

ok across the misty tide

We may not lock across the misty tide
Or hear or feel the breath Of passing wsngA
Yet seen and unseen weave their fringes wides
And nature teens with clear foreshadowings
Not in wild storms Of crashing thunder rung,
But in deep silenees that brood about,
without a word from hsping lip or tongue
She cheers the faith that wrestles with doubt.
From brown cocoons the winds have tossed and
whirled,
Broad wings Of gold beat up the viewless air,
And dry seed germs that wander round the world
Are quick with strange unfoldings rich and
rare.
The sharded beetle bred in marshy fen
TRANSPORTED scars above his riyen shell
On flashing wings before the gaze Of men,
A royal birth, living truth as well.
And still, sweet voices speak the ages through;
No germ is lost, but lives foreyermore.
The seed unfolds to fairer life anew,
And from the dust strong pinions mount and
lions Herald.

SILO SIMPLICITY.
4 WIRE BOUND STRUCTURE
RECOMMENDED BY corr
NELL UNIVERSITY.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


After making for three years careful
study and observation Of the staye silo
we believe 1t is the most practical and
successful silo which can be construct
ed, says a Cornell university bulletin.
The round staye silo presents no cor
ners which may pull apart and admit
air and which cause the silage to settle
unequally; the original cost is very
slight as no expert labor is required;
all mason and carpenter work can be
done by the usual farm help. The
material used in construction is the
minimum amount for obtaining the
maximum capacity. The durability of
the stave silo is as yet only matter
of conjecture, for decay has not COM
menced on any stave silo which we
have examined.
Where the silo is to be constructed
an excavation should be made to a
depth of three or four inches or to the
bottom of the loose surface soil and
with a diameter at least two feet
greater than the proposed diameter of
the silo, and drainage should be pro-
vided if the conditions seem to war
rant. The excavation should be filed
with stones, large ones being placed
at the bottom and smaller ones being
worked in and pounded down toward
the top. Gravel, If wen pounded down,
may serve as filling between the
stones. 1t Is important that the pound
ing be thoroughly done. otherwise set
Ting win take place later on and the
cement finish be made to crack.
The finishing should be done with
cement. First thin mortar made of
one part of Portland or Rosendale ce-
ment and four parts of good sharp
sand should be poured over the entire
stonework. This mortar should be

SHEEP ON PUBLIC LANDS.
The Matter Likely to Excite Much
Interest In Wyoming.

The Matter Likely to Excite Much
Interest In Wyoming.
There is veritable sheep boom
throughout Wyoming, says the Denver
Republican, and everybody is eager to
convert all other kinds of property and
go into the business. Those who own
sheep are in luck. 1t is like owning
Cripple Greek claims by the Colorado
Springs people or possessing Denver
suburban acres in a real estate boom.
with wool selling at almost three times
Of the depression, it is difficult to think
OF anything, even iron, that has expe-
rienced greater prosperity.
But 1t Is not alone the rise in wool
that has advanced the market for
sheep. Mutton also has gone up.
There has been an advance in meats of
all kinds throughout the world, in
which mutton had shared, but in addi-
ton mutton has had a separate and
special advance of its own. due to an
undeniable increase in its popularity
as food. The appetite of mankind is
Enthusiastically drifting toward mutton.
so that, while other things are equal,
twice as much of it is eaten now as 20
years ago.
The Wyoming sheep boom is calcu-
lated to force upon the country some
solution of the grazing land problem in
the near future. The public land which
belongs to everybody practically be-
longs to nobody. Strife and bloodshed
over its possession have already begun
In many localities. During the year.
In addition to natural increase of
about half million In the number of
sheep In the state, another half million
have been brought in to participate in
the great profits Of the business. All
these new sheep are crowding ranges
already sufficiently occupied. But no
body can stop the process under exist
ing conditions Of public land tenure
