Growth of Forest Trees.

If it was generally known how quickly
timber could be grown on land that has
been cleared of primeval forest, there
would be many waste places planted with
trees. Most people, when measuring the
diameter of tree and counting the grow his
of each year to ascertain its age. get
the impression that is the average growth
for all trees of the same kind This is
mistaken idea. as trees will grow to the
size of one foot 10 diameter on land that
has been cleared and laid in the sun for a
few yeats in one-third the time they will
m1ng the large trees of an original forest.
Thirty years ago. when pulling stumps
on the homestead. an oak tree was torn
out by the roots that showed thirteen
inches III diameter close to the ground.
When visiting in Susquehanna County,
Penn, happened where carpenter was
finishing a house with pine lumber. some
of it twelve inches wide. He informed
me the last crop on the land was potatoes,
and the rows could be plainly seen when
the timber was cut.
During one of my rambles through the
forest many years ago, in search OF wild
bees. line led NE on strange ground.
While searching thu tree came across
an old board fence that was supported 10
position by small trees. There was moth
ing to show the land had ever been clear
ed, and concluded the fence had inclosed
forest for pasture when the pioneer had
only a little cleared. On making inqulr-
les found several persons, moi old enough
to be in their prime of life, who had seen
fine crop of wheat growing on the land.

Care of Brood Mares.

Brood mares that have plenty of exercise
in the open air will produce stronger
foals and with much less risk than those
which are rot exercised. AS rule mares
that do not drop their foals until after
they have been running at pasture six
weeks or more have but little trouble in
delivering them, and the ioals are usually
strong and active Mares that are kept In
roomy box stalls take little exercise,
especially il they have the Iun of a good
paddock or sunny yard during portion
of each day. Toward the close of the
period Of CESSATION, however, most of
them are inclined TO exercise but little VOL
unfairly unless they are running to grass
Ii will pay the farmer who has not more
than two or three mares that are due to
foal early, to have them led TWO or three
miles every day during the last six weeks
of pregnancy. When the roads are icy
the mares should be shod with shoes
provided with sharp calks, 10 prevent in
jury from slipping The shoes should be
removed all around, however. few hours
before giving birth to the foal.-Amer-

Ensilage or Roots.

The cost of growing corn, cutting ii
and putting it in the silo, has been various
ly reported at almost all figures from 81 TO
s. per ton. We do not doubt but that il
has been done for the smaller sum when
the land has been made rich and well
cultivated, and the most modern improve
ments were at hand to do the work. but
we tfhink fair average would be nearer
double that with the ordinary farmer, even
10 favorable season. But there are not
many who would like to grow roots for
feeding to stock at that price. Certainly
we know of none who would grow tn m TO
sell at that price. and few would care to
grom them at 81 per ton if they could
grow other crops and find a ready cash
market for them. AS regards the value
OF them an average of the various roots
show that the same amount of each fed
with equal rations Of hay and grain result
ed little in favor of the roots, but this
was more than Offset by the TWO facts that
the roots cannot be kept in as good con-
dition for late spring or summer feeding
as can the ensiage, and tina, there is more
apt to be crop failure from drought or
other causes with the roots than With the
corn. The droughts of the two past years
have led many to believe that having en-
silage to feed in the summer when past
ures are growing poorer is of almost as
much importance. and some say more,
than having it in the winter.

Burning Green Wood.

There are many farmers who seem to
like to burn green wood, and no doubt
some of them think it is economy 10 do
SO because it lasts longer Oilers do it
only because they think they cannot find
time TO cut years supply ahead and have
it well seasoned and put under cover be-
fore the fal rains and winter SHOWS have
soaked it again But it is certainly poor
economy. Nearly all varieties weigh fifty
per cent. more when green than when DRY,
and some even lose more than that in be-
ing properly seasoned That adds to The
labor of handling and hauling for what
weighs one ton when dry weighs three
thousand pounds when first cut. Nor is
this all of the loss. Ittakes heat to evapo-
rate that extra amount of water We be-
ieve the scientists say that when wood is
burned entirely green fifty per cent. OF its
own heat is used up in cooperating the
water. This makes three thousand pounds
of green wood equal in heating power 10
one thousand pounds Of perfectly dry wood.
OF course few burn wood entirely green,
but there are many who do not have II
entirely dry or well seasoned. Any good
house wife who has been obliged to use
green wood for the kitchen fire can tell OF
delay in &c ting the meal in season. hinder
ing her work, and that of others, and of
poorly cooked food because she could not
get the oven hot enough. Then there is
another loss. loss Of temper from the
delay and the poor food. Ii is therefore
a case OF cruelty for any man to compel
his family to burn green wood.
