prOvements-Other Mining Notes.

Special to The Journal.
Calumet, Mich, March 2S.-Underground
work at the Isle Royale mine is being
pushed with all possible speed, and on
the first of April the third head at the
mill will go into commission. The mine
is producing about 1000 tons of rock a
day and with the third head in commits
sion the amount will be increased to 1900
tons, an amount never equalled hereto
fore by mine south of Portage lake.
Both Nos. and 2 shafts are sinking to
the seventeenth level and hoisting from
the sixteenth is in progress.
At the Trimountain property $4,000 tons
of rock are in store and this accumula-
ton will be shipped to the Arcadian
during April, when the other head at the
mill will start stamping Trimountain
rock. Work on the Trimountain mill is
advanced and it will go into commission
as soon as expected.
Grading for the railroad to connect the
Phoenix mine and stamp mill site, half
way between the mine and the village OF
Eagle River, is progressing WE'LL and Con-
tractor James Kinefick will complete the
road in a few weeks. 1t will be narrow
gauge, but ample to handle the rock out
put necessary for the head mill to
be erected for the Phoenix.

The Wisconsin Bridge and Iron Works
has about completed the steel work on the
various new buildings at the Baltic mine,
and the forces have been removed. Work
ct the mill, where the third head is being
fitted up, is about finished.
Reports from Boston are that the Al
louez mine, which adioins the Kearsarge
branch Of the Osceola, will be consoli-
dated with the Osceola property. The

as we'll as for New Mexico and Arizo-
ma. Gharnovka is being grown this
season by the New Mexico agricultural
experiment station and so far gives
promise of excellent results.
Arnoutka wheat is apparently not
grown to so great an extent as Char
novka, but it is nevertheless one of the
best varieties of south Russia. So far
as the writer mentioned can determine
what is properly called Arnautka is
wheat having heads of a light red col
or. with a blush bloom and very long
reddish boards. The grains are very
large and long and when grown under
favorable conditions are clear yellow,
extremely hard and vitreous. This and
Gharnoyka are the two varieties which
have given Russia its reputation for
macaroni wheats. although one or two
Russian sorts are probably even better
than these for marketing that product.
Mr.. Carleton has SO far seen nothing
but the grain of the variety now grown
considerably by the farmers of North
and South Dakota under the name Ar
nautka and cannot say whethe. it is
the same as that described above or
not This variety is we'll adapted for
cultivation in Kansas, Colorado, Okla
homa and Texas.

If women would learn a few COM
mon sense rules for relieving suffering.
there would be fewer mental and phys
ical wrecks in the world, fewer men
and women in thraldom to drugs
which, while bringing relief, fasten
upon the victim with tenacity all can
not shake off. In throat trouble cloths
wrung from hot water can be used
with profit provided the patient is not
confined to the bed. Under no consid-
GRAFTON is it safe to use water about
patient in bed except in water bags
and bottles. 1t is heat, not moisture,
that quiets pain, and wet cloths retain
heat only brief time, while making
the bed damp and dangerous to health.
Hot sandbags are good to place beside
the body and limbs, as they fit into the
curves and are really restful. A relay
of hot plates wrapped in wooden cloth,
will do wonders in giving relief to
patient. Painful rheumatism of the
hip, knee or ankle has been relieved
often by these simple means. The hot
plates are placed over the point of suf-
feriDg while the patient is snugly tuck
ed in bed, and relief is sure to follow.

1t is of vital importance for women to

MAcARONl WHEATS.
fr9ncipaI Varieties and Regions t,
which They Are Adapted.

Principal Varieties and Regions to
which They Are Adapted.
All macaroni wheats are extremely
sensitive to changes of soil and eli
mate. This will account for certain
peculiarities in the quality of the grain
that have already been noticed by
growers occasionally in this country.
Grains partially soft and white are
from crops grown either Under damp
er, cooler conditions or in Places where
there is comparatively little nitrogen
in the soil The requisite conditions for
n perfect grain are a black prairie soil
and short, hot, dry summers. On the
whole changes of climate appear to
have a greater effect than changes of
soil, but if the soil becomes almost be-
reft of humus the grain shows the eff
feet plainly by becoming more opaque
and white because of the preponder
ance of starch. If in this case the eli
mate is at the same time arid, the
grain remains rather hard, but simply
because of its dryness. II the soil is
black and rich and the climate too
moist, there is considerable discolora-
ton, and black ends may show them
selves. Two or three good rains are
sufficient to mature a crop. Otherwise
the drier and hotter the better. while
humid atmosphere can not be tolerated.
From fifty TO seventy-five so called
varieties of durum or macaroni wheats
have been described by different writ
ers. There are probably hundred or
more varieties already known to be in
use under distinct names. Though the
larger number of varieties are in prac-
teal use of minor Importance, there
are a few having well marked charac-
teristics and which have attained a
high reputation.
The variety which is the basis of a
very large part of the macaroni wheat
export from the AZov sea region is the
Gharnoyka. The wheat itself has a
medium long. square. dense. yellowish
white head, while the boards are dark
and very long. The grain is quite large,
light yellow in color and rather trans
lucent and vitreous. There are several
different strains even of the Gharnov-
ka recognized in the Don territory.
Probably the best of these is the Vel
low Gharnovka. which has a grain of a
deeper yellow than the others. Both
the Gharnovka and Yellow Gharnovka
have recently been obtained and distrib-
uted by the department of agriculture,
according to Cerealst NJ. A. Carleton,
from whose report on macaroni wheats
these facts are learned. This wheat is
admirably adapted to such districts as
Kansas. Nebraska. Oklahoma and east
ern Colorado. 1t will probably prove to
be one of the best durum wheats for
the middle and southern great plains

How to Make an ottoman.

An ottoman, if space will allow, is a
very useful thing to have in a bedroom
and would look well at the foot of the
bed This is easy to make at a very
small cost, as an ordinary wooden box
can be made to do duty. Line inside,
not forgetting the lid, with glazed lin
ing, or anything you may have by you
will dol so long as it is clean and tidy.
If the box you are using possesses
hinges, $50 much the better but if not
you must get some, for it would be use
less without except for a seat. The out
side should be enameled-the box part,
not the lid-and a fiounce made long
enoughIto reach the ground. The best
way to! fix this is to sew it on tape,
which in it's turn is sewed to the lining
of the box. The lid must next be
measured and cushion the exact size
be made. The stuffing might be of ex-
celsior, but it must be very full and be
finished off with frill about four
inches wide to cover the joint. A piece
of webbing or strip of the material
neatly doubled about eighteen inches
long should be nailed to either side to
prevent the lid falling back too far
when opened.

A lady writes me that her turkeys

symptoms and the way she feeds | am
of the opinion that she is killing her
turkeys with kindness by overlooking.
She feeds them five OF six times day.
A turkey in state of nature picks UP
Its feed, Il bug or grasshopper at time,
and never gorges itself with food, as it
is liable to do when we feed the flock
A duck can be fed all it will eat and as
often as it will eat, but if you feed a
turkey the same way you are sure to
have trouble. A turkey is voracious
eater and will eat as often as you feed

keys three times a day. and as they
nearly all live and make rapid growth

A neighbor told me that her turkeys
were dying. and | sent her word to
come and get some grit to give them
as / knew she was not giving them any
grit. l advised her to put little in the
food every morning. She did so, and
her turkeys are no longer dying. 1t
was the absence of sharp grit that
caused them to die.-Mrs. Charles

FORESTRY PRACTICE.
Pure and Mixed Woods-some Trees
Demand Light-Others Bear Shade.

Pure and Mixed WoOds-Some Trees
Demand Light-Others Bear Shade.
A forest may consist of single spe-
cies, when it is known as pure wood.
or of different species, when it is
known as a mixed wood. Pure woods
are seldom found. While they are
more easily managed than mixed
woods, the dangers are greater, and
the practice is seldom advisable. How
ever, mixed woods of few species are
generally more desirable than those of
many species.
When different species are grown to-
gether, the light conditions demanded
by each become of paramount impor
lance. Certain trees demand full ex-
posture to the sunlight and will not
grow in the shade of other trees. They
are known as light demanding trees al
together. Generally trees with light
and scanty foliage belong to this class,
although there are some exceptions.
The birches, pines, honey locust, black
locust, black cherry, ash and chestnut
belong here Other species thrive in
partial shade and are known as shade
bearing trees. Among these are the
beech. maple, hemlock and oaks. If,
then, light demanding and shade bear
ing trees are planted together, care
must be taken that the former are more
rapid growers or else that they are CIV
Ell sufficient start to enable them to
keep in the lead.
Thinning becomes one of the most
important operations in forestry. Here,
again. the light conditions are all i'm
portant and must be studied carefully.
1t is well known that tree which
grows in the open field becomes broad,
sturdy and vigorous, beautiful to look
upon. but useless to the lumberman.
In forest management just the reverse
of this type is demanded. The boles
must be tall and straight and taper as
little as possible. To secure this the
forest should be thinned but lightly in
its earlier years until the trees have at
tanned their principal height Thinning
may then be increased, and these tall,
slim boles will increase in size, making
the type of tree most desired. BY this
method the annual layers of growth
will be more uniform and the quality
of timber better because the tree grows
less rapidly in its earlier years than it
would do under normal conditions.
Nature must be made to do her own
pruning in forest management, and,
like all other primers, her work will be
more effective if done when the branch
es are small. When trees stand thick
in their earlier years. the branches are
killed out from want of light while yet
small; hence no large knots remain to
injure the quality of the timber.
Statistics taken from the Black forest
as to the number of trees per acre
growing in forests Of different ages
show the averages to be about as fol
lows: At 90 years, 1000 trees per acre;
at 40 years. 1000; at 60 years, 450; at
80 years, $50; at 100 years, $50. The
number of trees per acre will need to
vary with conditions of SOIL climate
and altitude, but these figures may give
a general idea of the great difference in
number between young forests and old
forests properly managed
