Mixture of Theory and Facts.

A correspondent in the Chippewa Falls
Sentinel writes at some length giving
facts to show that clearing away the
timber is the cause of drouths. Against
that theory we have this fact: In this
prairie part of Wisconsin where there
never was much timber, the drouth Tia
year has been most severe and of inesti-
mahle damage to crops; while in the
northern part of the state, found by
civilization under huge growth of end.
less forest, which is now very greatly
ti1inned out, and the lands cleared and
plowed and turned into fields of wheat,
oats, potatoes, corn and meadows, they
had this year good rains and the best
and mos abundant crops they ever had.
Clearing and cultivating lands does
cause quicker evaporation and lowers
the level of the water in the earth, thus
drying many springs, but we have not
yet proof that this causes less waterfall.

There are many good housekeepers
who are indifferent in the matter Of
saving small coal and cinders. Unseen
waste goes on in most houses In this re-
speet. If housekeepers would make 1t
a point to see that all cinders and ashes
are thoroughly sifted daily, they would
be surprised at the fuel they would
save.
After the cinders have been removed
cold water should be poured over them.
This causes them to make much better
fuel when mixed with Goals. Better
and safer fires can be kept up In bed
rooms than with coal alone. safer be-
cause with cinders there is no danger
Of sparks flying about.
The best kitchen fire is made by put
ting coal in front. banking up clnders
behind and then leaving the fire alone.
To be constantly stirring a fire takes
all the fife out OF the Goals and also
starts" the dust,-St Louis Post-Dis-
