FARM FORESTRY NOTES.
Plan Pursued by ~ Massachusetts
Landowner Is of N simple ana
Practical Nature.

Only a limited amount of practical
work in thinning, trimming and care
of farm woodland has been attempt
ed in the east. Many of the plans de-
scribed appear rather complicated to
the average farmer and the forests
are generally allowed to take care of
themselves. The plan pursued by Ma
thaniel Norton, of Plymouth county,
Mass, is especially interesting as a
study, even in the west, because of its
simple and practical nature. Ten
years ago he bought 50 acres of mixed
white pine and sprout oak. This tract
he has managed by removing all the
oak that interfered with or shaded
the growing pines until the woodland
has been transformed from a miscel-
ianeous forest tract to valuable pine

What Result to the Soil.

would not seem to undervalue sta
BILE manure, but it is a mistake to
suppose that land must grow poor
when we cease to feed everything
upon the farm. 1t is not necessary
to sacrifice all income for the sake
of keeping up the soil. Now that we
know more about the composition of
the soil, we know that productiveness
depends in great degree upon the
presence of organic matter in it, and
not solely upon stable manure or COM
mercial fertilizers. The ideal condi-
tion would be one in which a goodIy
number of live stock could be kept
with profit on nearly every farm, but
the cattle feeders of most fertile
eastern valleys must give up a farm
scheme that makes fat cattle and
wheat the only cash products. The
list of cash crops will be made longer
and clover, peas and sods must be
freely used to supplement the ma
nure.-Farm and Fireside.

| thought him a villain when | learned
how he was trying to undermine you.
Time proved him thief and a scoun-
drel, but, peace to his ashes, he died
like a gentleman, after all, with two
Indian bullets through him, and Just
as the rescue came. He had time to
make full confession, and it was all
pretty much as | suspected. The note
Dean picked up at Reno, that so STAN
peded him, told how a blackmailing
scoundrel was on his way to Emory to
expose him unless headed off by fur
ther huge payments. 1t was the fellow
who called himself Newhall."
"The fellow who gave the tip to Bird
sails people," said old Folsom at this
juncture, raising bandaged head from
his daughters lap. "Who was he,
really?"
"Burleigh knew all the time, and I
suspected the moment L heard Miss
Folsom's description, and was certain
the instant laid eyes on him. He was
a rascally captain cashiered at Yuma
the year before, and L was judge advo-
cate of the court"
"And Mrs. Fletcher?" asked Pap
poose, extending one hand to Jess,
while the other smoothed the gray
curls of her fathers forehead.
Mrs. Fletcher was his deserted wife,
one of those women who have known
better days"
The ranch is still there, or was 20
years ago, but even then the Sioux were
said to raise more hair in the neigh
borhood than Folsom did cattle. The
old trader had been gathered to his
fathers, and Mrs. Hal to hers, for she
broke down utterly after the events OF
'6S. Neither Pappoose nor Jessie cared
to revisit the spot for some time, yet,
oddly enough, both have done so more
than once. The first time it's chronicler
ever saw it was in company with a stall
wart young captain of horse and his
dark eyed, beautiful wife nine years
after the siege. Hal met us, a shy, si
lent fellow, despite his inches. Among
other things" said he, Lieut.. and Mrs.
Loomis are coming next week. l wish
you might all be here to meet them"
II know" said Mrs. Dean, ''we are to
meet at Cheyenne. But, Hal, where's
your wife,"
He looked shyer still. "She don't
like to meet folks unless"
"There's no unless about it," said the
lady, with all her old decision, as she
sprang from the ambulance, and pres
emily reappeared, leading by the hand
reluctant, yet not all unhappy, Lizette.
Some people said Hal Folsom had no
business to marry an Indian girl be-
fore his wife was dead three years, but
all who knew Lizette said he did per-
fectly right; at least Pappoose did, and
that settled it. AS for Loring- But
that's-enough for one story.

land. The illustration SHOWS a por-
ton of the present tract after trim
ming and thinning.
In many parts of this woodland the
timber's bulk has doubled in seven
years. The plan was to take out those
oak that interfered with Or shaded
too much the young pines, leaving
enough of them standing to encour-
age the sprouting of pine seeds which
came up in all parts of the ground
without planting. The sprouts from
oak stumps were pounded off in win
ter when the stumps were frozen. Mr..
Morton does not wait for limbs to die
before pruning, but begins to trim off
the lower branches when the trees are
five feet high, repeating the treatment
when the trees increase IN height.
This plan keeps the branches from
growing into the timber. 1t is found
that quick healing is promoted by
cutting the limb extremely close, so
that the inner trunk bark on all sides
is penetrated, making a scar about
twice the diameter of the limb cut
off. Limbs up to three inches in diam
eleE cut OiI Ill lllIS way neal IluCn ldSU-
er than those merely cut eff close to
the outside bark. 1t is not stated that
this principle will apply to trees other
than pine.
The experience of Mr.. Morton indi-
Gates that about 33 years are re-
quired to bring pines from seed to a
size suitable for lumber. Others al
low 45 years. The soil used by Mr..
Morton is very light, with a sandy
subsoil. Trees 10 to 25 years old ap-
pear to have made an average yearly
gain in growth of wood of fully 100
per cent. The illustration shows a
part of Mr.. Morton's tract, on which
are pines about so years old. The for
eign growth has been removed and
the trees trimmed since owned by Mr..
Morton. The owner estimates that
the wood on the lot paid for the ex-
penses of removing the foreign
growth. Bushes were kept moved at
a cost of about $50 for the entire
period.-Orange Judd Farmer.

THE LAST LAUGH.
1t Was the Best and Was Enjoyed by
the Man who Owned
the Lawn.

"There's another case of the man
who laughs last" remarked practical
joker the other day, pointing to tur-
nip patch in front of private resi-
dence, says the Washington Star.
II don't understand where the laugh
comes in," admitted the listener.
"Of course, you don't, but l do, and
the laugh is on me. l thought was
playing joke on my friend, who occu-
pies the house, but he has the turnips
and have to buy mine. Some time ago
he wanted grass and clover seed to
plant in front of his house, and like
many other people he thought the ag-
ricutural department supply would
make a better showing than any he
could buy in a store. l volunteered to
get the seed, but concluded 1 would
put up a job on him."
"And couldn't he tell the difference
between seed for turnips and seed for
grass?" interrupted the hearer.
"He thought there was something
about the seed that was not exactly
right, but, not being a farmer, he was
not certain. l told him the seed had
been brought from the Philippines,
and he expected to see something in
the grass line different from any he had
ever seen before. Soon after the seed
had sprouted and the little leaves be-
gan to show themselves my friends
suspicious were aroused and he made
inquiries about the neighborhood.
None of his neighbors could tell what
was growing on his parking and per-
sisted in telling him what beautiful
grass plot he would have some day.
The time finally came when the tur-
nips could be seen, and my friend en-
joyed the joke"
"And, of course, you also enjoyed it ?"
the joker was asked.
''Not much" he answered, "for am
now buying some of the turnips at
least twice week when I might just
as well have had them in my cwn
ward"

Raising Cattle on Farms.

1t is not true that the cattle busi-
ness to be profitable must be con-
Quoted on the broad ranges of the
western plains, says Texas Farm and
Ranch. That is one profitable system
of cattle raising, but there is another
which yields fully as great profits for
the capital invested. Raising cattle
on the farm has in all countries and
all ages been found profitable, and
more so now than ever. By raising
cattle on the farm the farmer has a
good market for all the feed he can
raise, saves labor and expense Of
transportation and avoids much loss
from waste and hocus-pocus of COM
merce. And one of the main features
of stock farming is that it can be
made to continually improve the fer
tility and value of the farm.

many refined up short within ten
PAGES of the unarmed man; two
sprang from their ponies and threw
themselves between him and their
brethren, shouting to be heard. And
then in the midst of furious discus
sion, some Indians crying out for the
blood of all at the ranch in revenge
for Chaska, some demanding instant
surrender of every woman there in
eXpiation for Lizette, some urging that
old John be given respectful hearing,
but held prisoner, there came lashing
into their midst a young brave, cry
ing aloud and pointing down the now
well-lighted valley where, darting
about mile away, few Indians were
evidently striving to head off the COM
ing of some hostile force. Leaving
two or three of their number trying
to restore consciousness to the strick-
Ell chief, and a dozen, Folsom's advo-
Gates among them, to hold possession
of the rancn, away scurried most of
the warriors at top speed to the aid
of their outlying scouts.
Meantime, under cover of the fierce
argument, Jake and Lannion had
managed to crawl back within the
building. Folsom himself, in such
calm as he could command, stood si-
lent while his captors wrangled. The
warriors who pleaded for him were

whites through the lands of the Sioux

him now in the face of popular clam
or. Yet even their influence would
have failed but for the sound that
told of hotter conflict still among the
foothills along the opposite side of
the valley. With straining ears, Fol
som listened, hope aud fear alternat-
ing in his breast. The mipgling yells
and volleying told that the issue was
in doubt. Man after man of his cap
tors galloped away until not half
dozen were left. Now, Jake and Lam
nion could have shot them down and

HINTS ON MANAGEMENT.
Poultry Keeping Is n Business That
Calls for the Constant Exercise
of Good Judgment

Poultry should pay a good profit,
but if neglected will run one into
debt The smaller the flock. the
greater the individual yield. Fifty
hens are the largest number that
should be allowed to run in one flock
Too many are usually kept together,
and room on the roost is frequently
restricted. The roosts should be low
and level, and not one above another,
like the rounds of ladder, as fowls
viii all seek the highest roost, and
many will be crowded OFF and prob
ably injured by falling. Hens that
are accustomed to low roosts are less
inclined to scale fences, and may be
confined in pens with less trouble.
The ground under the roost should
be covered with loose gravel mixed
with loan, unless a board floor is
used. 1T is better to have two yards
than one, as one may be cultivated
while the other is occupied. In this
way roots and forage may be grown
for the fowls on land fortified by
their droppings. An open shed is very
important, as affording protection
from cold in winter and heat in sum-
mer. Hens to be profitable should
be carefully fed, and if they are well
cared for they will give a profit. If
hens are fed on varied food they mus
lay eggs. Glover hay finely cut is eX-
cellent for winter feeding in place of
the green stuff they usually get in
summer. Close breeding will cause
the eggs to be infertile. Young fowls
may pay better than old ones, but
something depends upon circum-
stances, so far as age is concerned.
Brahmas should seldom be more than
two years old if one is seeking the
greatest profit. Never keep more
than 100 chicks growing in the same
yard, and not so many if of different
ages. For sitting hens half barrels
without heads set in the ground half
their depth are excellent. Make nests
of hay on the earth; in cold weather
such nests exclude cold air beneath
the eggs. In warm weather the nest
should be in cool place. Sitters
should be kept by themselves to pre-
vent any annoyance from other hens.
a coop placed over the nest large
enough to allow of a dust bath works
well. Have food convenient, so the
sitting hen can eat and go back to
her nest before the eggs get cold. 1t
pays to give care to sitting hens, as
they will then, as a rule, bring Off
larger broods.-Farm and Fireside.

A Beard on the Subject.

Harry Furniss, the artist, tells an
amusing story at his own expense.
Furniss had been commissioned to il
lustrate a tale for serious" period
ical. His drawing represented lovers
meeting, and the young man of the pic
ture was of the Family Herald and
Something to Read type, with long,
thin legs, eyes like saucers and little
duck" of a mustache.
This would not do at all for the ed
itor of the serious periodical, who
wrote to Mr.. Furn4ss in these terms:

tance? The subject and treatment are,
at present, hardly suitable to our

Select the hens that are to produce
the early pullets now. Get the breed
ing birds together early in the sea-
son. Feed them well, both in the
morning and evening, and give them
a little meat each day. Give good
feed of the best grain before the
roosting time. This system of diet in
the winter will keep the birds healthy
and robust. The eggs will be prefect
and the chickens will be healthy.
The eggs must be gathered daily and
placed in a fairly warm place until
a sufficiency is procured for a cor

MOONLIGHT AND MIDNIGHT.

The flowers know the story
or what the moonlight sees,
AT midnight. at midnight,
Beneath the forest trees.
AL day they stir and whisper
And toss their heads in glee;
OF moonlight and midnight
They know the mystery.
For all too dull are mortals,
Their senses all too slow,
In moonlight, at midnight,
To catch the passing show.
But all the flowers know it;
They wake when mOrtals dream.
In moonlight at midnight,
They see the fairies gleam.
They see the mystic dances
OF elves and spirits gay.
In moonlight, at midnight. /,
How merrily they play!
The beauty of the flowers
Is won in hours like these.
In moonlight, at midnight,
Beneath the forest trees.

smashing pane after pane. Some OF the
dogs came bowling and whining back
for shelter, though the mastitfs held
their ground, fercely barking and
bounding about, despite the whistles
and calls from the besieged, who
sought to save them to the last, but not
once as yet had the ranch replied with
shot. Down in the cellar women
clung together or clasped their vail
ing children and listened fearfully to
the clamor. In Halls room the fevered
sufferer awoke from his stupor, and,
demanding his rifle, struggled to rise
from the bed and there John Folsom
found Pappoose, pale and determined,
bending over her weakened brother
and holding him down almost as she
could have overpowered a child. Lift
ing his son in his strong arms, he bore
him to the cellar and laid him upon
couch of buffalo robes. Watch him
here, my child" he said, as he claSped
her in his arms one moment. But on
no account let anyone show above
ground now. There are more of them
than l thought, yet there is hope for
us. Somebody is veXing them down the
Laramie"
Bounding up the steps, the veteran
was almost back at his post upon the
porch when there came a sound that
seemed to give the lie to his last
words and that froze the hope that
had risen in his breast-the sudden
rumble and thunder of at least 200
hoofs, the charging yell of an Indian
band, the sputter and bang of rifles
close at hand, and then a rush of feet,
as, with faces agonized with fear,
three of the men came darting within.
ITS all up! There's million In
dians!" they cried. Two of the de-
moralized fellows plunged into the
passage that led to the cellar One
burst into childish wailing and clung
to Folsom's knees.
Let go, you coward" yelled the
old man in fury, as he kicked himself
loose, and then went bounding out
upon the porch. God, what a sight!
Sweeping up the gentle slope, bran
dishing rifles and lances and war
clubs, racing for their hapless prey,
came so Ogallallas, Burning Star
among the leaders. Bullets could not
stop them now. The two men who
had stood to their posts knelt grim
and desperate, and Lannon's last
shot took effect. Within so yards of
the walls Burning Stars rushing pony
went down on his nose, and in the
fury of his pace, turned sudden and
complete somersault, crushing his red
rider under him, and stretching him
senseless on the turf. An inspiration,
almost God-given, seemed to fash upon
the old trader at the instant. Bare
headed, in his shirt sleeves, throwing
upward and forward his empty hands,
he sprang out as though to meet and
rebuke his assailants. Hold" he
cried, in the tongue he knew so well.
Are my brothers crazed? Look!
am no enemy. 1t is your friend! 1t
is old John!" And even in the rage
of their charge, many Indians at
sight of him veered to right and left;
