A MOUNTAIN LAKE.

Oh, limpid listener, in your placid soul
Are mingled all the songs that brooks have SUM
When years and years, the shaggy hills among,
They babbled Of their trials, with foamy tears,
Until. all wearied, having reached their goal,
You softly soothed their sorrows and their fears
like sentines the stolid mountains stand
About you, dres't In garb Of gorgeous green;
At early dawn their mirrored shapes are seen
In shimmering outline, painted by the sun,
Upon your face, athwart the cleaning sand,
Nor fade from view until the day II done.
4 fitting figure Of eternal rest
You typify the changeless fate Of man
When. having coursed mortality's brief pan
Adown the hills Of Time his life shall end,
And all his doings, be they banned or blsst,
Forevermose, with other deeds, shall blend.

Managing the woodlot.

Timber land in the section of New
Jersey where live is growing scarce.
says Grant Davis, in the American
left outside of the mountains or rocky
elevations which cannot be cleared for
cultivation. Almost every farmer has
his woodlot on the mountain, from
two to 10 acres in size, and sometimes
as far as 10 miles from the farm. Be-
fore the time of wire fencing, it was
quite feature of the winters work to
wood is still used for rail fences as
we'll as for posts for wire fences. A
good finished rail is worth IL 1-2c. and
holed post 25c. The original growth
on these rocky slopes was chestnut,
and it still predominates, although on
account Of the severe cutting the oaks
and hickories have got a start and
there are also some Eastwood and
birch. Chestnut is the ideal fencing
wood, as it splits neatly and is very
lasting in the soil and to the weather.
There are three ways in which these
woodlots are treated. Some are cut
off clean and the stumps allowed to
sprout and are cut again in 20 years.
This is the coppice method. few are
well cared for and only moderate i'm
provement cuttings made. Again, there
are many which are treated with no
system at all. The coppice method de-
pends upon the sprouting from the
stumps for the reproduction of the
wood crop. These sprouts grow rapid.
ly, but do not attain much size and are
short-lived. There are lots which have
been cut over two or three times
where the chestnut is dying before it
gets big enough to split for rails. Chest
nut is good sprouter and will hold
it's own with the other kinds, but for
best results in the long run some seed
lings should be left. Cutting should be
done in the winter or early spring. If
cut in midsummer the stump will usu-
ally die. The growing capacity Of
timber and the high prices of fuel and
lumber make the farmers woodlot
worthy of his careful attention. 1t
should be so managed as to get the
most wood out of it every year without
marring it's future usefulness.

I'm provinc Soils.

In order to get at the true condition
of things today we need often to take
back track and note the condition
of things at the beginning. Old soils
are not new soils. The growth Of for
ests for centuries had prepared the
soil for mans particular use. Being a
New Hampshire farmer l refer now to
New Hampshire lands. The glaciers
centuries ago came grinding down
from the north and left the debris they
had taken on board or shovelled up by
the way suited for forest growth,
while the water from the melted ice
cut it's way to the sea coast.
We are not told from whence the
seeds of the forest trees came, but the
first settlers in New Hampshire found
all of forest they cared to deal with.
They found their lands numbered up
with giant trees not easy to to deal
with. Yet with the courage Of the pi-
oneer they ''laid the axe at the root of
the tree" it came crashing to the
ground. All but enough for their cab
ms was converted into ashes and
strewn over the SOIL Hundreds of cords
to the acre of the roots decayed in the
soil, furnishing humus for the farmers
benefit for many years after. The
ashes, too, were there to do their
work, and the farmer had but to plant
his seed, be it corn, wheat or potatoes,
and he was sure of large yield. In my
boyhood days the failure of a crop of
wheat, corn or potatoes was hardly
known. The first failure was the wheat
crop, when attacked by the weevil. 1
remember the sad havoc that pest
made. Acres and acres were ruined en-
tirely and wheat raising in New Hamp-
shire soon became impossible. No
fault OF the soil, for the straw was all
right in length, but often injured by
the rust. Many years went by before
any fertilizer but barnyard manure
was talked of. The demand for some
thing to grow crops was urgent.
Chemistry was ransacked, and one en-
thusiastic student declared that the
time would come when farmer could
carry enough fertilizer in his vest
pocket for an acre. A wag standing by
replied. "Yes. and he will carry off the
crop in the other pocket" We want
to get right back to first conditions.
Fill the soil full of humus IL it be only
sawdust and shavings; and apply the
needed elements, hard wood ashes IL
you please, or their equivalent, and
crops will grow again. Flowing in for
age crops is a cheap way of putting
New Hampshire soils in good me.

Pure Bred Sheep.

The increase in the use Of pure bred
rams to grade up the sheep is account
able not only for the larger clips of
wool, but for the increased demand
for mutton and lamb in our markets.
To use grade lamb is poor economy
when the pure bred can be bought as
cheaply as now, and the larger profit
in both lambs and wool will soon re-
pay the cost of a really good sire to
head the flock. There has been much
said and written about the large profit
to be made in having lambs dropped
in the fall or early winter and ready
to sell in the spring, but unless one
has place we'll fitted us SO that the
lambs can be kept warm we doubt If
there is much more profit in them
than in spring lambs. The extra care
and extra feed take no small part Of
the extra price.

A French scientific journal calls at.
tention to a recent report of the
French consul at Hawaii which il
thinks, throws light on some prob.
lens of ethnography. Not long ago q
little schooner. dismantled and with
its rudder gone as the result of
tempest, was drifted by winds and
ocean currents from Tahiti to Hawaii
after 81 days of helpless wandering.
Hawaiian traditions declare that in
ancient days people came from
Tahiti, drifting with the currents,
and settled Hawaii. The adventure
of the dismantled schooner seems to
prove the possibility of such migra,
tion, and it is suggested that the
currents OF the Pacific. which have not
yet been sufficiently studied, may
throw much light on the distribution
of the native races among the Island
groups.-Youth's Companion.

Improved Methods in tho Dairy.

American farmers are rapidly turn
Ing their attention to the utilization of
farm products on the farms, in order
to derive the most that is possible to
be obtained therefrom. Dairying is
making great progress, but this is due
to the invention of the cream separa-
tor and the improved churns and dairy
appliances. Compared with the past
well-managed farm can support twice
as many animals as formerly because
of the great saving of labor. In some
communities the farmers take their
milk or cream to the factory and bring
back the skim milk to be converted
into pork. If within convenient dis
tance milk is shipped to the cities.
Dairying entails tedious work during
every month of the year and every day
dustry on the farm gives such large
returns, which is demonstrated by the
large number of farmers who are an
nually being added to the list of dairy
men. The dairy farm provides a mar
ket for the products grown, and the
dairy farmer need not grow any crop
that can not be used on the farm.
Dairying gives the farmer greater con-
troll of his operations, and the work is
also educational. 1t leads to the use
OF better stock, and the farms are
gradually being depopulated of the
scrub cattle which have caused so
much loss in the past, the pure breeds
rapidly coming into use over all por-
tions of the country. Dairy farms
must also necessarily be kept clean and

When to Start the Incubators,

December and January are the
months when incubators should be

their management will not be amiss. In

having 1t set up. run it for few days

lie yourself with its workings. If af-
ter the second day, you find the re-

then the eggs may be put in. Select
eggs of uniform size that are perfectly
fresh. certainly not over week old,
and those that have not been chilled,
and lay them gently in the machine
1t matters not in what position they
are placed, as they must be shifted
morning and night during incubation.
The temperature in the incubator
will at once go down. owing to the cold
eggs, but will gradually rise, as tho
eggs become heated.

perature by applying more heat Leave

For winter or Spring Pigs.

Pigs coming in the months of De-
cember, January and February need
the very best conditions of warmth and
are quite expensive on account of the
long time they must be kept penned
up before grass grows. Pigs farrowed
in January and February need q
warm, roomy, well ventilated pen,
which few farmers have. The two best
months for litters to come, under or
binary circumstances, are March and
September, and good, thrifty SOW can
1ust as well have two litters year as
one. The SOW, when mated, should be
In good, thrifty condition. 1t is mis-
take to breed when either boar or SOW
is in poor condition.
When two litters year are desired,
the sow should be bred between Nov.
Is and Dec. 10. If only one litter a
year is wanted, breed month later.
There is decided advantage in not
having pigs come until between April
Is and May Is. The weather is then
quite warm and there will be no dan
ger of losing the youngsters by cold
Grass will then be obtainable, and the
sows having access to grass will give
little or no trouble when farrowing
ters a year must have the first litter
come not later than April /, SO the
SOW can be bred in good time for the
fall litter.-J. A. Mcdonald, in Orange
