Railroads aiid Forestry.

The railroads Of the United States
use ever year 100000 new ties to
replace old ones. Timber suitable for
ties has become scarce, and prices have
Increased year by year. For twenty
years railroad managers have been
considering the question OF timber sup
ply for ties, and have been led into
experiments in forest culture for
profit.
In the West several of the stronger
railway companies have groves of ca
talpa old enough to give them trees
for ties. The older companies are ex-
tending the catalpa plantations, and
other companies, satisfied with the ex-
periments, are putting out trees by the
hundred thousand.
The catalpa is of rapid growth, the
wood is durable, and the influence OF
the planting experiments on a large
scale OF the railroad companies has
been a practical demonstration OF the
advantages OF forest culture for profit.
If it is profitable for corporations to
grow catalpas it is profitable for indi-
viduals to grow them.

For al, author, being almost always

Profit in Chicory.

The cultivation Of chicory in this
country as a commercial fertilizer is
rapidly increasing, though confined
largely to sections of Michigan, Illi-
nois, Wisconsin, Maine and Nebraska.
The yield per acre is said to be from
six to ten tons, but with good culture
as much as fifteen tons may be grown.
The average price is SO to So per ton,
and the cost Of growing ranges from
$50 to $45 per acre. 1t Is stated that
under normal conditions the profit
from chicory is somewhat greater than
from corn or wheat. Its cultivation is
similar to that required for beets, and
the same may be said also as to har-
vesting. The roots are taken to the
factory, and when washed are cut into
pieces about one-half inch in diameter
and roasted. Chicory has a value as
a forage crop due to Its ability to pro-
duce we'll upon almost barren soil, but
when fed in considerable quantities to
mich cows 1t imparts a bitter flavor
to the milk. Swine will eat the root
and thrive on it, and both the roots
and leaves may be fed to horses

Gruba In Sheen.

An authority on sheep says that
grubs in sheep are as natural as hair
OH the tail of a horse, and the best
way to care for them Is to let them
alone. Sheep raisers whose animals
have been troubled with grubs in the
head will not agree with this method,
perhaps, but there is no doubt but
what there Is too much unskilled treat
ment of sheep for this pest, and much
Of the treatment Is cruel In the ex-
treme. There Is no doubt but what
good care and proper feed makes the
sheep strong enough to resist the at
tacks Of grubs, and unless the Ease is
very bad little attention should be
spaid to grubs.
There Is no way Of getting the pest
out of the flock entirely. If n has
a bad case In the flock and the ami
NAL Is valuable 1t will pay to put 1t
In the hands Of a skilled veterinarian
for treatment. Do not use the often
advised method of running wires up
the nostrils of the animals in a vain
endeavor to pierce the grubs
