Where nurserymen and fruit grow

the gas, and no animal life can possibly
live through 1t where it is properly gen.

THE FARM WooDLoT.
II Has Been Neglected Altogether Too
Long and n New Leaf Should

think 1t may safely be said that the
farmers woodlot or bush receives less
care and attention than any other part
of the farm at all. The attention 1t gen.
orally receives is the destructive blows
OF the axe IN winter and the no less
harmful browsing of stock in summer.
Under this treatment the wood is con-
stantly decreasing in quantity and
value, and the land lies as an unprofit-
able, stumpy waste, which is neither
wood nor pasture, or Is turned into
cultivation, for which, being generally
poor land, 1t is little fitted. Doubtless
this unproductiveness of the woodlot is
due to the fact that farmers generally
do not consider the bush capable of any
systematic management or regular crop
ping, or at all capable of repaying any
labor expended upon it. AS farmers we
are apt to consider bush land as some
thing to be cleaned up, and not to be
perpetuated, or as a gift of nature for
our own special benefit and one that
cannot be renewed. The time it takes
for Seeding tree to become of market
able value is not so long as is usually
supposed. OF course, if we had to begin
on a bare field to raise timber it would
be somewhat different matter. But in
the ordinary woodlot we find trees of
10, 20, 30, so or even 20 or 100 years of
growth. Nature, If left to herself, will
gradually change a scanty coppice into
forest of value, but at best her methods
In forestry are slow and somewhat ir-
regular. However, by careful thought
and practical management nature may
be so assisted that the woodlot may be
made to supply lot only all present needs
for fuel, but to give regular crops Of
merchantable timber, and to be year
after year increasing in permanent value.

A WATERCRESS FARM.

The cress is planted in the mud of a
series of shallow canals over which
clear water is continually flowing.
Great care is taken to keep the entire
patch clean and free from weeds. Three
or four narrow paths run the entire
length of the patch, which is perhaps
200 yards long, Between the paths is

similar wooden bridges; the whole hay-

the ccess is ready to cut, a lighter shade
where it is growing and a pale green

The cress takes from ten to IA days to
come to perfection, cold weather delay
ing its growth. When the crop is ready,
a plank is placed across the bed, one
end resting on the path and the other
on the wooden bridge, On this the gar
dener kneels, his knees and shins pro-
tected by thick pads, while, with an
ordinary table knife, which he uses like
a sickle, he lops off the cress in hand

Plant IA Few Chestnuts.

We realize that it is difficult to grow
chestnuts in all situations. The tree
seems to be one that will do well only
where given proper conditions of soil
and moisture supply. Yet there are
certainly many waste places where
chestnut trees might be successfully
grown. The nuts would prove quite a
valuable annual receipt while the main
harvest of timber was being waited for.

ed that the bolero was thing of the past,
and in support of their conclusions, they
point to the increasing vogue of the
close-fitting half-length coat, the short
coat with basques, the revived REFER,

that the end is not yet, although the

The flowered, striped and dotted vel
vets are wonderful in color and quality,
as are the plain velvets, many of which
are so soft that they may be drape6 al
most as easily as crepe or fine cloth. In
the red-blue or blue-red shades, which
dominate the autumn color scheme, vel
vet is particularly lovely.
But let us get back to our illustrations.
One of them is of simple dress for coun-
try wear made with a trotteuse skirt.
The material is dark cloth or fine serge,
and it is trimmed simply but sufficiently
with Roumanian embroidery, the bright
colors Of which are relief to the plainness
of the gown. The hat is a soft shape in
straw trimmed with a cluster of roses
and bow and ends of velvet, for which
the deep red of the embroidery can be
chosen or the same color as the cloth il
preferred.
The other is one of those useful little
evening dresses which can be worn at an
at-home, or small dance, or for the the
ater. The material is black crepe de
chine gauged and corded, and trimmed
with an insertion of white lace.

LESSON IN PHYSICS.
Why Heating Frames and HothouseH
Remain Hot on the Inside
for n Long Time.

ut is very curious" said the old pro-
fessor of physics, ito see how many mar
ket gardeners there are to raise things
under glass, make money out of the pro-
cess, and yet do not know why their
heating frames and their hothouses re-
main hot inside. Now, as a matter or
fact, the heat mechanism of hothouse
depends on well-known proposition of
physics. l suppose you are acquainted
with the fact that the energy from the
sun travels in the form of little waves
The energy doesn't come down to us in
straight lines; 1t comes, as 1t were, in a
zigzag manner, dancing from side to
side as it comes along. II these waves
are very short, light is the result; il
they are trife longer, they take the
form of heat. If the light waves strike
anything on the way down they are very
apt to be turned into heat Now, the
waves which form light are so short
that they will readily pass through
glass, but the waves which form heat
are so long that they will not pass
through. From this, therefore, you
may see why hothouse remains hot
The energy from the sun passes into
the house through the glass roof in the
form of light. Then it strikes the OBJ
jects in the house and is turned to
heat. But this heat cannot pass out
through the glass. The heat waves are
too long. So the light keeps coming in,
and the heat keeps accumulating, and
soon the hothouse becomes very warm
indeed, even on the coolest days in win
