A VALUABLE PIECE OF TIMBER.

The following item from last
weeks WaynesvilIe Courier calls at
tenticn afresh to the value of our
timber interests and the rich rewards
of properly conducted forestry work
"Probably the finest walnut tree
ever logged in the United States has
Just been disposed of by the Abras
i've Co., of this place. 1t came from
the head of Caney Fork, in jackson
county, and contained 1903 feet, and
is easily worth $1,000. 1t measured
so inches at the small end of the first
log. There we're five logs twelve
feet long and one eight long, on the
main body"
But even this record has been
broken, as will be seen by this inter
view with Mr.. s. L. Rogers, Corpora
ton Commissioner, which recently
appeared in the High Point Enter
prise. We quote:
"RailrOad Commissioner Rogers,
who was here Saturday was talking
about the value of North CaroliGa a
timber. He said that he had Only
one story to relate and that was a
big one. A man in Western North
Carolina was selling standing timber
walnut trees. The man who was
buying came to one very handsome
tree. He told the owner he would
pay as much as $50 for that tree.
This excited the owner. He did not
sell but sent for experts. The owner
got 800 for the tree (curled wal
nut) as it stood. The man who cut
it down realized $4,000 for it on the
cars. It was shipped to New York
and veneered 1-6 to q inch. The
sales were watched and estimated as
best that could be done and when all
was disposed of it turned out that
the tree brought near 100000 The
noint is this: We have no idea as to
the value of our timber, much of
which is being sent North for mere
song. We can become rich in North
Carolina if we work our raw mate
rial as others work it for u.s."

quence are, proportionately less
active. They some times get on
their backs in depressed places and
are unable to rise, in which condi-
ton they will not live many hours.
This is the case more especially
where rape has been grown in ridged
drills. 1t is wise precaution, there.
fore, to visit the f1ocks at least twice
a day, and in doing so the services
of a saddle horse will be found very
useful where the flock is large. Is
may be we'll to allow the ANIMALS to
remain on rape but short time at
first. The length of this perioG may
be so increased from day to day that
soon they remain upon it all day
Caution should be exercised as to
putting them upon the rape when it
is frozen, and they should never be
put upon it when hungry. 1t may
not be known to all that when sheep
or lambs are affected with bloating,
if they are slaughtered In the early
stages of the trouble, the meat is
considered perfectly good. The same
is true of ailments caused by eating
frozen rape. By giving prompt at
tention in such instances nearly the
full value of the lambs so affected
may be realized"
On the same subject, Wallace's
Farmer says:
'There is no danger in feeding
hogs on rape, nor horses, as these
animals are not subject to bloat.
While it is intended especially as a
hog and sheep pasture, feeding steers
and dry COWS may be pastured on
rape with profit. Our readers who
have dairy COWS must understand
that rape will faint the milk, unless
they are fed on it for an hour or two
Immediately after milking, in which
case it is said that no bad results
follow"

SOME DANGERS IN FEEDING RAPE.

The practice of growing rape is an
importation from Canada, largely
introduced through Professor Shaw,
formerly connected with the Ontario
Station, and, therefore, it is we'll in
securing the "know how" to get as
muoh of the "know how" of the
Canadians as possible. The Ontario
Station has recently issued a bulle-
tin on the subject, which comes
handy to our readers just now. 1t
says:
"Pasturing rape has it's dangers.
Some times securing is induced, more
especially when lambs are first put
uDOn it. Access to salt at all times
and to an adjacent pasture have
been found helpful as preventives.
Tagging should receive attention be-
fore the sheep or lambs are put upon
raDe. When first turned in upon a
rape field sheep and cattle will too
freely partake of it, unless the al
petite has previously been we'll salts
fed with other food. Bloating may
in some instances he induced, which,
if not relieved, will soon cause death.
When sheep are turned in upon it,
therefore, they should be allowed
continual access to it unless in time
of cold storms, and when removed
in no instance should they be put
back upon it when hungry. On a
frosty morning, when sheep eat free
Iy of rape, especially of the leaves OF
plants that are immature, there ls
some danger that bowel disorders
viii be induced which may cause
death. When the sheep have been
removed the previous evening and
get a moderate feed of oats in the
morning before they return the
danger is to some extent lessened. Ii
Is at least questionable if there is
any profit in pasturing rape after
the stalks have been made brittle
with hard frost. When the sheep OF
lambs have been on rape for some
time they become fat, and in conse'

THE COTTON CROP.

How a Washington Man Who Has Examined
Reports From Many Sections Regards the
Outlook.
Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
All reports go to show that the
coming crop of cotton will be very
large, even larger than the quite
large crop of last year. The sales
of fertilizers and farming machinery
and implements are unprecedented,
these being signs that cannot be
mistaken. At the same time there
are drawbacks. The spring is late
and cold. Bad weather has retarded
planting in the northern sections of
the cotton belt to such an extent
that the crop will beexpOsed to dam
age by frost at the other end of the
season. Much of the early planted
cotton has had to be replanted, which
will add to the expense of the crop.
Labor was never so scarce and wages
were never so high, this meaning ad-
ditional expense for planting and
picking. Meanwhile other countries
are trying to raise cotton and eman
cipate themselves from dependence
on this country. Russiss for in
stance, has recently planted large
portion of her wheat fields in cotton
and hopes soon to be able to supply
her own needs. In 1899, the last
year for which reports are available,
her production increased nearly one
third.
An enterprising Liverpool firm of
shipowners is arranging to send six
American cotton growing experts to
the west coast of Africa to institute
experiments in the growing of cot
ton in that region. In the early SOS
cotton growing was started on the
west coast of Africa, the incentive
being the opportunity afforded by
the disorganization of the cotton
trade consequent on the Civil War,
but did not succeed commercially
the largest number of bales exported
being in 1859, when 19, 300 bales went
TO Liverpool. Since that date the
figures have fuctuated, showing a
tendency, however, to a steady de-
crease. The west African cotton has
been of the short staple variety, and
not of a good color. 1t is, however,
better than the East Indian. The
Germans and French are also trying
to establish cotton-growing in their
west coast colonies. E. q. s.

According to an experienced OBJ
server and student "birds have diff
ferent tastes from men; as a rule
they prefer bitter, sour or insipid
fruit. We should never destroy
s1oh species as the wild cherry, wild
grape, elder, blackberry, juneberry,
mulberry, dogwood, Virginia creeper,
buckthorn, sumac, bittersweet and
others. By encouraging such plants
we are approaching a solution of the
problem, that will preserve for our
own benefit both the cultivated fruits
and the birds"
