Our Redwood Forests.

In the light of the many expressed
fears that our lumber will soon be ex-
hausted by the onslaughts that are be-
Ing made on 1t, some recent observa-
tions In the National Geographic Mag
azine as to the gigantic redwood for
ests of the Pacific Coast will be peril
nent. The area of the redwood belt
has been carefully mapped, and Is, rs
nearly as can be estimated, 1000
square miles, or 1,2SO,Ooo acres. The
stand of timber on this area is not
90 easy to ascertain, but may be CON-
puted at something over seventy-hve
billion feet. The annual cut by the
mills is 25O,OOOOO0 feet. At the pres
ent rate of cutting, therefore the sup
ply will last 300 years. In Mendocino
County, California, there Is nearly
nine times as much timber on an acre
as in the Southern pinerles; in Hum
boldt County upon 96,443 acres the
average stand is $4,000 feet per acre
nearly seventeen times as great as In
the Southern States. There Is ono
cause of destruction from which this
tree is entirely exempt-that is, fire
Containing no pitch, but, on the other
hand, a large amount Of water, 1t will
not burn when green. No fire can rur
In O redwood forest. 1t Is the only
one of our conlferous lumber tree:
which is thus exempt. Redwood Is II

coast.

Value OF Sorghum.

Sorghum as a. forage crop has given
great satisfaction in most places where
it has been tried, and - where
1t has failed to give satisfaction the
cause has usually been found to be
that it was harvested too late. AT the
Nebraska experiment station it has
been grown for forage for milch cows,
and in the matter of yield and as q
milk producer it has proved superior
to any of the non-leguminous forage
plants, when fed green. Our ex-
perience with sorghum has been on
thin soils and 1t grows well upon such
soils. 1t is much greater resister to
drouth than corn is, and makes fine
green forage when the grasses arc
dried up. Experiment and chemical
analysis have, shown: that. when the
plant is from two to three feet high
it contains GG per cent. more nitro
genous elements and very much lar
ger quantity Of fats than it does
when it has produced its seeds. We
observe that Professor Thatcher. of
the Nebraska station maintains that
young sorghum is an almost perfect
stock food This Is not In accord with
our experience.
If pastured when about two feet
high, it will give good results, but
much better results will be obtained
If dry feed is used with it Like oil
green forage plants the water in feed
of no more value to the animal than
water in the trough is. OF course II
the pasturing Is done when the plant
is young, there will be loss in yie.d,
and some have claimed that the differ
3ence in yield more than balances the
superior composition of the young
plant over the old. With Some crops
the excessive yield makes them more
valuable than another like crop Of su-
perior feeding value. The mangel
more than holds its own in compari-
son with the sugar beet, because Of
its large yield. But SO fur as we have
been able to determine, the best value
can be got out Of it. when 1t Is young.
But while it makes good fodder, it
does not make a superior one. Stock
is very fond Of it, q result no doubt

That EcllnW IN the Mobu.

A widespread legend of great an-
tiquity informs us that the moon is
inhabited by man with bundle of
sticks on his back, who had been ex
lied there many centuries, and Is so
far off that he is beyond the reach Of
death. This tradition, which has CIV
en- rise to so many superstitions, is
still preserved under various forms in
most countries; but 1t has not been
decided who the culprit originally was,
anu how he came to be Imprisoned.
Dante calls him Cain, Chaucer assigns
his exile as punishment for theft
and gives him thornbush to carry,
while Shakespeare loads him with
thorns, but by way of compensation
gives him q dog for d companion.-

Bee Hints.

It is an old, old fashion to use
smoke with bees; but Mr.. Eobert
Davis gives his explanation of it:
"Bees when frightened by smoke VII
Immediately gorge themselves with
honey and loose all inclination to
sting"
Here follow some practical hints to
beekeepers which are given by Mr..
Davis in the New York Journal:
The most vicious colony of hybircs
may be controlled by using q little
tobacco in the smoker.
The prosperity Of colony depends
upon the fertility of the queen. II
veal. colonies have not; become popu-
lous in some season, kill the queen
and give them another.
Toads, skunks aEd mice are great
eneniesi to bees; see that they do not
have access to the aplary.
Increasing or dividing should be
done rs early as possible. but not un-
til stores are coming abundantiy.
Drones are just as essential as any
other bees, but too nnuny are n nuis-
ancc. This may be controlled by cut
ting out drone-comb and substituting
worker-comb or foundation.
Drones may be prohibited In OBJ
jectionable colonies by dividing early
in the spring.
Keep all colonies strong.

, Strawed Roads In Texas.

Up in Denton County some OF the
roads are sandy. The small grain crop
Is great. Straw Is abundant. So 1t
turns out that ''strawing" tie roads
has been an experiment with road
builders in Denton County this year,
and judging from a stretch Of what
used to he very bad road north Of the
city of Denton, it Is claimed the expert.
ment Is an unqualified success. The
piece of road in question lies between
Denton and the Pilot Point crossing
on Clear Creek, and up to this year was
almost impossible for q heavily loaded
wagon, the sand being several inches
deep. Part of the road was clayed
and another part "strawed," the latter
being done at about one-half the cost
of the former. Both pieces Of road
are in fine shape now, that part
"strawed" in wet weather being su-
perlor to that clayed.-Galveston Daily

skimmilk as an 1n.ec. Destroyer.

1t may not be generally known that
skimmilk or buttermilk readily mix
with kerosene, forming an emulsion
which destroys insects without the
danger of injury to ANIMALS or plants
on which they might be that might
result from the use Of the pure oll'cr
of oil and water. We first learned
of this from using this mixture for
the scale insect or mite which causes
scaly legs on fowl. We found that
one or two dippings or washings with
it. would cure the worst case Of scaly
leg. and leave the skin as smooth as
when first hatched. We. never had
occasion to try it for lousy animals,
for we never had one, but we do not
hesitate to recommend 1t, and we
have lately seen its use advised Tor
ticks on sheep, using gill of kero-
sene to one gallon Of milk, We uo
not make our mixture Us strong or
kerosene as that, but perhaps the
larger tick may need stronger appli-
cation than al insect so small as to be
scarcely. visible to the naked eye.

ratteninr Stock Economically.

ID
Not every farmer can fatten an anil
NAL economically. The ability to do
this must be acquired by study and
practice. There are many branches
to this subject and their numerous
conditions must be thoroughly under
stood If the farmer would realize the
most from his feeds. He must con-
slider the quality Of food, warmth and
quietness of stables and many other
items. AS in many other
departments Of farm labor. there is
o great lacking here in sympathetic
work. Some are ignorant as to the
best methods, whife others are care
less Of their real interests and have
mo regularity in-their work. Every
farmer seems to have his own way,
and it.is too often chosen with regard
to the convenience OF the feeding
rather. than the economy.

Hay of all kinds should be cut early.

1t is said that the demand for Ango-

In planting an apple orchard select

Profits depend more upon the cost of

A little timothy may be sown with
clover, but not enough to cause the
clover being crowded out.
Those who made 1t point to have
good seed beds are the ones whose
crops now look the best.
A good horse at the cultvator or a
good team at the plow go long way
toward lowering the cost Of production.
When peas and oats are sown for a
sheep pasturage about three bushels

Every farmer should plant patch
of butter beans. If he hus ever had
them served on his table he can readily
see the wisdom Of this.
There is a tendency for plant food
to reach downwards with the rain

it up again ready to. be used by the
crops.

Milk In GUNNER Weather.

With reference to the handling OF
milk in very hot weather, especially
at skimminS station, We find the fol-
lowing by station operator, published
In the Nebraska Farmer. OF course it
will be seen that most Of the sugges-
tions are commonplace. Those who
have been handling mix all their
lives may even smileat their simplicity
But there are always beginners in this
business as In all others and always
those who need line upon line and pre-
cept upon precept. We quote:
The dairy stock should be in perfect
condition of health.
All milk utensils should lie of tin
not galvanized iron as that material
is almost uncleanablc, its rough sur
face defylng all scrubbing which may
be done on it.
Use only warm water, and use sal
soda rather than soap in washing milk
vessels. After washing, scald with
water that is boiling. or with live steam
The reason for using water no hotter
than can be borne by the hand is that
q higher temperature than this COOKS
and hardens upon the tin surface TIL,
albumenous portion of the milk. IN
stead of softening and dissolring it.
Have all joints and seams In milk
vessels smoothly soldered or they W IL
1ntor
trouble.
Do all milking in a cleanly, thorough
manner. Strain through n perfectly
clean cloth strainer, and cool imme-
diately. Never mix two different
milkings without both being first thor
oughly cooled. Fermentation takes
place with the greatest rapidity Mt the
temperature of new milk, and decreas-
es as the temperature is lowered.
Hence the necessity of cooling, and to
as low a degree as possible to keep
the milk sweet.
All milk cans used for delivering
milk to and from the station should
he emptied. and washed and scalded
as directed above Immediately on re-
turning home. These should be aired
OH n rack or peg, in an inverted posi-
ton, and should be kept in the open air
until ready to be sent to the station
again.
Sklmming station operators are in
structed to accept no tainted milk,
whether caused by fermentation, i'm
proper feeding or the condition Of the
COWS.
The better the condition in which
milk Is delivered to the station the
more accurate is the sample taken, the
more thorough the separation, and
the more satisfactory the test to the
patron.
In warm weather, If milk Is not
properly cooled it undergoes a certain
amount of churning In delivery to the
creamery, and the patron loses the
butter fat churned in transit. Hence
he suffers for his neglect In caring Tor
the milk.
Where milk is handled according to
the above instructions the skimmiik
returned proves satisfactory in feeding
young stock. When the skimmilk ls
shown to be unsatisfactory through
any failure of the station operator,
complaint to the proper authorities
will have him removed and on efficient
person put in his place.
