sofa very partial reports extending from
1895 to 1900 show a loss Of sS57,57O.
For the far west, wher the destruction
is at present greatest, no statistics exist.
Henry Gannett sayr, in a recent pub
lished report of tn, United States Geolog>
ical survey of the losses by fire in the state
of Washington: within nineteen counties
an area of 3,614 square miles of merchant
able timber has been burned, besides 700
square miles in the mountains not contain
ing merchantable lumber"
A paper trade publication says: AN area
as large as Rhode Island is stripped of its
spruce every year to supply the mills that
make news paper alone, and many Of the
manufacturers think it is none too early to
begin experimenting with other material for
paper making to supplement the spruce sup
plies and even to take their place if we
cannot grow crops of spruce fast enough
to meet the demand" The United States
produced in 1900, in 763 mills, with a capital
of $167, 600, 600, with $500 workmen and
employees earning 1926, 247, 337, over 1000, 900
tons of paper and pulp, using for the pur-
pose 765 ,OOO-horse power.
The United States Paper Maker says:
when the army of axmen that was sent
into the woods of Maine, New Hampshire
and Vermont and the provinces of New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia last fall ceased
their attack on the spruCes and other tim
Der trees this spring the result was the
biggest crop of logs that has been provided
for the pulp mills of the northeast in recent
years.

1N ATTEMPT to induce legislation
which will provide means
- whereby the number Of forest
%93HS fires may be reduced will shortly
~ be made by the Bureau of
Forestry, writes the Washington cor
respondent of the New York Times.
One Of the means by which the at
tention of Legislators will be drawn
to this important question will be the cir
c~ulation of a bulletin entitled Forest
Fires" which has been prepared by Alfred
Gaskill. 1t will be shown that, in addition
to the enormous loss of property which oc-
ours every year by reason of these fires,
an annual average of sixty human lives
lost may be ascribed to the SANE cause.
Travellers say that when a tree is cut
down in Japan another tree must be
planted in it's place. In the United States
no serious attempt to protect the forests
has been made, though the woodlands were
being destroyed in the year 1900 at the rate
of 30, 900 square miles per annum, or one
twentieth of the entire timber area of the
United States. If the present pace could
be continued for twenty years there would
not be any forest area available in 1920,
or, il the stripping now going on could be
concentrated upon the 80, 900 square miles
comprising government forest reservations,
national parks and state reservations.
there would not be a vestige of forest on
them at the end of two years, or, to be
precise, within twenty months.
The methods by which this destruction OF
national treasures has been brought about
may be summarized as follows:

The Time To Plant Corn.

a correspondent from northern Iowa
writes us to know if the first of May is
too early for corn planting.
The time to plant corn is when the
Foii is warm enough to cause it to
germinate quick and strong, and the
day OF the month is not particularly a
factor at sl' The old Indian maxim.
"When the white oak leaves are as big
as squlFfel's ear is as good guide
as the farmer can follow Tha, may
occur by the frat of May in the latitude
OF northern lowe, or it may not There
is a latitude OF about twenty DAYS in
which corn may be planted, and which
of these days is the proper time will
never be determined until the corn is
gathered. Solomon gave goou advice
on this point when he said:
In the morning SOW thy seed, and
in the evening withhold not thine hand:
for thou knowest not whether shall
prosper, either this or that, OF whether
they both shall be alike good"
Last year the tssse!s of the early
planting struck the hot winds, while
the late paintings were the best This
year it Is quite possible that this may
be entirely reversed, as it has been
many years before. Get your ground
ready and when the soil is warm
enough, plant, but do not plant until
your ground is ready even If the oak
leaves are twice as big as squirrels
ear The farther south, the earlier
corn may be planted; the farther north,
the later. DO not think about the first
of May or any other day or month;
plant as soon as you can get ready after
the ground is ready. II you can not
get the ground ready by the first of
June in the latitude of central lowe, do
not plant corn, but plant sorghum if
you ate in 'ha stock business. .-Wa!-

The large ana increasing circulation
of The Iowa Homestead in this county
is a matter for 'congrstulation to the
publishers and to good farming, for, of
all the papers of its class in the coun-
try, 1t is easily the best and most help
full. Its Special Farmers Institute
editions, issued with the regular edition
the first week in each month, have been
for years the admiration of all practi-
cal farmers. Written wholly by farm
ers, they are full of actual experience,
and smell of the soil. We have been
fortunate enough this season to secure
terms for The Homestead and its Spec
ial Farmers Institute Editions, together
with The Poultry Farmer and The
Farmers Mutual Insurance Journal,
four of the most valuable farm publ
cations in the country, that enable us to
offer the four in connection with our
own paper for $3.50 for the entire FIVE,
one year. This is-emphatically good
thing, and no farmer in this county
should fail to take advantage of this
offer. For large line of thoroughly
practical farm reading nothing has ever
been offered before that equals it. A
county paper, q farm paper, a poultry
paper, q farm insurance paper and the

The Dairy Cow Improving.

Those who have been claiming that
the dairy business is not growing bet
ter will not find much support in the
reports that are coming from the census
bureau. These show that while the
increase in the number of COWS in the
country is comparatively small the in
crease in the average yield is remark
able, amounting to about % per cent.
To be exact, in 1890 the average pro-
duction of the COWS of this country in
milk, Cream and butter was equal to
about S22 10 pef head, while in 1900 it
was equal to S27.55 per head, an in
crease of Ss5.40 per head, something for
the dairymen OF the country to be
proud of. 1t gives us reason to hope
that the improvement will continue
end that theaverage COW of the country
will before many years pay hand
some profit Oh the cost OF keeping her.
Improved methods are brought about
10y precept and example. Every dairy
man should try to conduct his business
so az to he good example. The pro-
gressiye dairyman reads the dairy pa
pers and this most valuable service he
can render the friend and neighbor who
does not read them is to induce him to
subscribe for one or more.
The articles concerning dairying in
the best dairy papers are accounts of
actual experience, and while these may
differ in details, in many cases, the
shrewd and thinking man will be able
from this mass of details to select those
methods that ars the best adapted to
his particular circumstances, or, in case
none of them fit his case directly, may
be able to modify them and thus lit the
/ experience of Others to his needs.
In the matter of economy no dairy
man can afford to go year after year
without reading some of the papers de-
voted to his business. 1t is necessary
in order TO successfully prosecute any
enterprise to be informed as to the
markets of the various cities and the
conditions that prevail in other coun.
tries or in those sections of country re-
mote from where the particular dairy.
man may live. The dairy paper is the
best and cheapest means of keeping IN

The best way to make any business
profitable is toeconomize in the machin-

i've and the products will cost less to
manufacture. Increase the productive
capacity OF the COWS of this country
and milk, cream, butter and cheese can
be produced at less cost per gallon OF

cost decreases.
These things are worth thinking over,
The field is broad and the outlet unlim,

forced on the market at low prices
Endeavor to furnish the kind that sell

and the number who take up dairylng

nation dairying is becoming of greater
importance all the time.-Dairy and

Morton and Tree-plantine.

L ne iate y. Sterilng Morton Was
distinguished public benefac.or and the
fact will be recognized with greater en-
phasia by the next generation than by
the present. He was the father of the
Industry of tree planting on the I'M
timbered plains. The exercises of
every "arbor day" In all parts of the
country are tribute to his memory.
Arboriculture on the treeless plains
aud on the denuded land in the older
states will produce lasting benefits of
an important kind. A tar proportion
of forest growth is needed for all see
tions OF our territory.
The woods attract moisture and pre-
serve it in the soil. They shelter the
springs and the rills which are the
sources of rivers. They have whole
some influence on the atmosphere
Properly distributed, new forests Will
tend to destroy the power of the lum-
ber monopolies and trusts. In this re.
spect they will be like rapid currents
and falls in rivers, forming water
powers for the generation of electricity
by which the tyranny of the coal trusts
may be eyaded.
This view OF the benefits to come
from tree planting was always present
in Mr.. Morton's mind. While he at
tempted to impress on the people of the
treaiess belt the study OF planting for
ests and the ultimate benefit which
they would derive from the industry
in self-supporting home supply of
timber and tuel-he exerted all his pub
lie influence in attempting to procure
the removal of the tariff on lumber.
AS he labored year by year to impress
on the plains settlers the wisdom OF
providing their own timber supply he
! undertook also to procurea removal of
the tax on the timber which they were
compelled to buy from the pine tree
trust. SinguIarly enough, while the
people destitute of home lumber
supply were ready to engage in raising
trees of their own which could not be
used for lumber in less than fifteen OF
twenty years they never would vote for
the policy of free lumber which would
give them immediate partial relief
The treeless states have always been

party which made lumber dear through
