NUT TREES FOR TIMBER.
An Industry Which Promises Large
Returns in Cash Profits as Well
as in Pleasure.

Much is now being accomplished in
educating the public to the Importance
of timber preservation and the re-
facilitating of our forests, but some
thing more seems necessary, as tho
preservation of what remains of our
native forests only postpones the day
of reckoning.
The especial value of hickory, chest
nut and walnut lumber is our occasion
Tor urging the consideration of tho
planting of nut trees for their timber
value. which will incidentally produce
a valuable by-product in the nuts
grown, thus making such plantation
valuable property years before its
maturity for lumber. This harvesting
OF annual crops also obviates, to a
great extent the chief impeachment in
the way of planting for lumber only
by the long time investment. BY this
plan the man who plants and cares for
his nut grove is rewarded during his
own day by the annual crops and his
children have veritable heritage in
the lumber.
The present is none too soon to be-
gin planting for such purposes. The
consumption of lumber of all kinds is
increasing much more rapidly than in
proportion to the increase of popu1a-
ton. In so years the United States
may have double its present popula-
ton, and who can predict what the de-
mand for black walnut, chestnut or
hickory lumber may be by that time?
One thing is certain; if consumption
continues as at present there will be.no
lumber OF these kinds on the market
unless the trees are planted by this
generation.
Besides this, there are great tracts
OF land in many sections which are not
we'll adapted to ordinary agricultural
operations which are peculiarly suit
ed for growing timber. Our noun
tain ranges are the natural home Of
the chestnut. Bottom lands which
overflow too frequently for farming
are often we'll adapted for the rapid
growth of hickory and walnut, so that
the waste places seem to be intended
for such benefcent uses as growing
timber and food. F. Wilson, in Nut
Grower

THE WEST AND ROOSEVELT
Enthusiasm for the President Is
Widespread and He Is the
Likely Candidate.

A dispatch from Washington con-
tainS Il statement from a man who
has just returned from tour of the
timegt in that part of the country.
He says that the enthusiasm for Mr..
Roosevelt is well-nigh unanimous.
and, in fact nobody else is talked
about, reports the Cleveland Leader.
OF course there is nothing new in
this. Judging by present conditions,
there is little possibility of anybody
else being mentioned as the repub-
lican candidate next year. But it will
be disheartening news for the Bryan
lite wing of the democratic party If
there were any chance for the nomi-
nation of candidate favored by the
Nebraskan at the democratic conven-
ton next year, that chance must be
based upon the hope of democratic
victory i'll the western states. But if
President Roosevelt is likely to sweep
that section of the country, it fol-
lows that. in the interest of good pol
itics, an eastern democrat, who has
the approval and Endorsement of the
reorganizers of the democratic party,
will be chosen as the candidate to OBJ
pose Mr.. Roosevelt.
The only hope of the democrats
next year will lie in the solid south
and the few eastern states which
used to support democratic candi-
dates for the presidency. Harmony
between the two factions is imDoSsi-
bic, and to the stronger and more
hopeful faction will be given the con-
troll of the national convention. This,
of course, will eliminate Mr.. BRYAN
from the problem, and leave his fol-
lowers without leader.
EMr. Bryan says that defeat
would be better than victory with
Cleveland. Probably it would not be
unjust to the editor of the Com
moner to say that he believes that de-
feat with anybody but Bryan would
be better than victory, and that VIC
tory or defeat with Bryan would be
glory enough for the democratic
party. 70 republicans this is of pass
ing interest as summer comedy, but
to the democratic party it is high
tragedy Troy Times.

Cause of Dairy pro.ncr,.v

The remarkable increase in the
production of milk and butter in the
United States in the last decade was
due far more to increased yield per
COW than to increase in the number
of cows. There is plenty Of oppor-
tunity for an equally great increase
in the production per COW during the
present decade. AS farmers become
more careful and accurate in deter
mining the relative production of
their COWS, the culling of their herds
becomes more rigorous. This imme-
diately raises the average standard
of production and tends, by aid of
the laws of heredity, to increase the
producing capacity of the descend
ants of COWS retained for dairy pur-
poses.-Nidland Farmer.

KILLING POTATO BUGS.
An Excellent Way of Applying Pois-

Cheaply and Rapidly.

Poisoning potato bugs by hand on
large plants is generally considered
hard work. For the easiest way-anc
the best if one does not wish to use
Bordeaux at the same time, for blight
is this: Take an fashioned flour
sieve holding six or eight quarts and
attach it to crooked stick with two
branches, as shown in cut. A short
search in almost any tree will find
one of the right shape. 1t is fastened
to the sieve by three small bits of wire
through gimlet holes in sieve. A stout
piece of Irvine reaches from the two
ends of the stick around the operators
neck to support the weight. Instead
of sieve light box with wirecloth bot

Tobacco for Plant Lice.

Coarsely ground tobacco is good for
nothing as an insecticide, under ordi-
nary circumstances. When finely
ground, it can be used dry with good
effect against plant lice and oft-bodied
insects generally.
In the form of decoction, it NAV
be prepared by using one pound of
coarsels ground tobacco or chopped
stems or refuse and pouring through
it one gallon of boiling water. This
decoction will be effective against
plant lice Of almost all kinds and is
the cleanest material that can be used
on house plants.-J. B. Smith, in Farm
and Home.

it has been far from an easy matter
to find the right man for the head of
these several institutions. When one
calls to mind that the American col

bine the training of the scholar with

one does not wonder that the position
is difficult one to fill acceptably. In

tional opportunities these men have
enjoyed, at what age they assumed
the duties of their present positions,
and something of the influences that
helped shape their careers.

Status of the Trade Given By

man

Receipts today were 334 cars. Fat
cattle were in good demand from
heavy to strong prices and the same
was true of cow stuff. Stockers and
feeders ruled firm. Hogs sold fully
a nickel lower than the latter part
Of last week, from s 10 to $40, the
bulk at $6. 1896. 95. The sheep mar
ket was steady to strong.
The week opens out with a very
fair u 1877 loads, 4,709 head as
against 4,403 on last Monday and A.

were scarce and there was no over
supply of cow stuff.
b Beef Steers-The fat cattle market
was generally fairly active and fully
steady at last week closing quotations.
There was a good demand from all
the local dressed beef men, and re-
ports from eastern points were In the
main favorable. On account of the
liberal offerings, however, buyers were
inclined to be very deliberate in MAX
ing their purchases. Desirable light
and handy weight beeves met with a
tolerably ready sale, but the heavier
cattle were not so easy to move. Fair
to very good 1000 to 1,4OO-rb beeves
sold at $3.50 q 40, while the COM
mon to fair warmed up and part fat
grades sold around SO. 1904. 25.

conditions seemed to favor the buy
ers, and sellers were finally forced to
cut loose at the decline noted above.
Good heavy hogs sold largely al $685.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

There is only one way to cure deaf

remedies. Deafness is oauesd by an

this tube is inflamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result, and unless the infamma-

hearing will be DESTROYED forever !;
