means Of persuasion. from the whip to

the invention OF a simple apparatus,

A Thing 70 Do.

Another thing we general farmers
ought to do, and that is set out more
forest trees. Did you notice the story
of that old walnut bridge in Indiana
that certain company wanted so bad
ly that they We're willing to put up a
good steel bridge in the place Of it?
The wood, they thought, would be
worth more than the steel bridge. And
the men who controlled the walnut
bridge refused the offer. Now, this
state of affairs is likely to continue.
Our forests are vanishing, and unless
you and l, the general farmers Of the
country. get right down to business
and plant trees the day is near at hand
when fencing and building material
will be worth almost as much as gold.
Every farm ought to be turned into a
little forestry station. We can easily
get the seeds of such trees as are in
digenous to our locality and plsnt
them. Time will do the rest, and some
day the world will thank us for doing
what we did.-Up-toDate Farming.
