than those of its companions, and the
crown bends eagerly to places where
the light enters the forest canopy.
But in spite of these signs of it's
sensitiveness to light, the redwood
forms one of the densest forests that
grow
The reason for this is that the
stand is maintained chiefly by suck
erlng from old trees. Supported and
nourished by full-grown roots and
stems, young trees grow under shade
that would kill the small Seeding.
The sprout will endure an astonishing
amount of shade. In stands of sec
ond growth, SC dense that not ray
OF sunlight eau enter, sapiings or 8
feet high are to be found growing
from stumps, bare of branch, or fol-
iage except .for a few inches of pale
green crown at the top. In very dark,
damp places il. the virgin forest one
may find clamps of shoots as white
as sprouts from a potato.
Redwood possesses qualities whica
fit it for many uses. In color it
shades from light cherry to dark ma
hogany. 1t is easily worked, takes a
beautiful polish, and Is one of the
most durable of the coniferous woods
of California. 1t resists decay so well
that trees which have lain 500 years
in the forest have been sent to the
mill and sawed into lumber. The
wood is without resin, and offers a
strong resistance to fire, as the record
of fires in San Francisco, where ii is
much used, Indicate Insects seldom
injure it, because of an acid element
it contains. In sea water, however,
the marine teredo eats off redwood
piling as readily as other timber.
Redwood timber. says DR.. Hermann
Won Schrenk of the bureau of plant
industry, possesses lasting qualities
scarcely equalled by any other wood.
Although very light and porous, it
has antiseptic properties which pre-
vent the growth of decay-producing
fungi. So far as is now known, none
of the ordinary wood-rotting fungi
grows in redwood timber. 1t is be-
cause of it's resistance to most forms
of decay That the redwood reaches
such a great age.

The edict that shall stand for ali
time has gone forth: Refuse knowi-
edge and live of necessity the brute
life that has not knowledge. The man
who refuses knowledge has no right
to pray. The mass of children abhor
the school life because 1T entails the
exercise and development of the men
tai powers. In like manner the teach
er who prods the public into intellect
ual effort is detested. 1t is so much
easier CD to pay someone to do our
thinking for us. We prefer sleeping
to waking. Don't make me think is
the demand until We lose the power to
do SO and become so dead that the fir
ing of cannon of the caliber of that
of Clarence S. Darrow fails to arouse
us. / will strain my arms and break

life that now is and that to come. IL
we intrust to others generosity or

fatal. To know is half the battle, the
other half lies in doing.

Experiments In Orchard Culture

| The Nebraska experiment station
has just issued Bulletin No. 70, in
which are reported the results of ex-
periments showing the effects of vari-
GUS methods of culture on the growth
and winter-killing of young orchard
trees.
1t was found that careful cultiva-
tion during spring and early sum-
mer conseryes soil moisture and pro-
duces thrifty. growth of young trees.
Good cultivation in early summer can
often be given by growing some cul-
tivated crop like vegetables or corn,
in the orchard. Uncultivated crops
like grass or small grain dry the
ground early in the summer and in
jure young trees very seriously.
Cultivation continued late in fall
may cause growth to continue very
late and is often responsible for win
ter-killing Of tender trees. Cover
crops sown in midsummer cause trees
to ripen their wood early, in prepara-
ton for winter, and do not injure
them like grain crops grown in early
summer.
Late cultivation, by leaving the
ground bare, may increase the ten
dency toward root killing in severe
winters, while cornstalks, cover-crops,
ETC., protect tree roots against severe
freezing. Late growing cover-crops
or any method of culture that leaves
the ground very dry in fall will in
crease the danger of root injury.

w. E. Curtis has at last found out
and publishes the fact in the Record
Herald that "for some reason or an
other there seems to be an impression
prevailing in various quarters that
this (trust) legislation was intended
for political purposes to satisfy pub
lie clamor against the trusts, and
that the people are to be humbugged
by demonstration that will amount
to nothing and have no serious effect
upon the adherence of the railway
companies to the republican party or
diminish their contributions to its
campaign fund"

The khdication Of Reason

Editor Independent: Clarence S.
Darrow. counsel for the miners, in a
speech in Chicago said: "We have
been trying the case as to how much
wages, how much of the coal that the
miner brings up shall be taken by him
and how much by the operator, who
has confiscated the earth.
"The public has not yet been con-
sidered. The public never is consid-
cred and hardly deserves considera-
tion. They let other men do their
thinking; they let other men do their
voting; they let other men make and
| enforce the laws, and, of course, they
have no right to say anything about
| it. The great public sits still while
seven or eight railroad companies de-
| liberately take possession of all the
anthracite coal which nature has
placed in the bosom of the earth-all
of it. They sit quiet while said COM
panies are organized into one head
and pass under one management; they
sit still while these same companies
take possession of all the soft coal
fields there are in this country. They
raise no murmur while railroad COM
pany after railroad company is con-
solidated into one, until single per-
son in Wall street may not only fix
the price of every pound of coal we
burn, but may determine absolutely
whether we shall freeze or not"
1t was declared long ago by word
of God: "My people are destroyed for
lack of knowledge; because thou hast
rejected knowledge / will also reject
thee" Hosea iv., g. Again: "The
OK knoweth his owner and the ass
his masters crib; but Israel doth not
know, my people doth not consider
Oh, sinful nation, people laden with
iniquity, seed of evil-doers, children
that are corrupters.
The great material distinction be-
tween man and the brute creation is
that of reason. Because of it the Cos
pei of eternity can be preached to the
former. We are So made, and history
and the present time shows the sure
disaster that follows mans refusal to
exercise his reason. Because man
cannot be his own butcher, baker and
candlestick maker he is led to be-
lieve that it is right in every partic-
ular Except his own trade, perhaps)
to seek and submit to mental author
ity. He does this in spiritual affairs,
and his folly cannot be measured by
its results in this life, nor leave an ex-
ample to warn his children who yet
live He does this in material mat
ters, and lives slave, often worse
off than the OK and the ass. The man
who reasons becomes the master. 1t
will always be thus. The man who
reasons will wear the crowns of those
who refuse to reason. There is no
sin Of greater enormity in heavens
sight than that of mental abdication
to men or organizations. AS a man
sows he shall reap.
