THE FARM WOODLOT.

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 gift OF nature for
our own special benefit and one that
cannot be renewed. The time 1t takes
for Seeding tree to become OF market
able value is not so long as is usually
supposed. OF course. II we had to begin
on bare field to raise timber it would
be a somewhat different matter But In
the ordinary woodlot we find trees Of
10, 20, &c. so or even 20 or 100 years Of
growth. Nature, II left to herself, will
gradually change scsuty coppice into
forest of value, but al best her methods
in forestry are slow and somewhat IT.
regular. However, by careful thought
and practical management nature may
be so assisted that the woodlot may be
made to supply not 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.
An Interesting Industry Which Has

lions in the East.

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 a
still narrower footpath of planks rest
ing on piles sunk In the mud, these
again being crossed at right angles by
similar wooden bridges; the whole hav-
ing the appearance OF huge chess
board with dark green squares where
the cress Is ready to cut, a lighter shade
where 1t is growing and pale green
where the crop has just been gathered.
The cress takes from ten to IA days to
come to perfection, cold weather delay
ing Its growth. When the crop is ready,
q 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 of the cress in hand
fuls. which he places heads down in the
water to keep fresh. This plank is
moved forward foot or so at time till
the square Is entirely gatlered.-E. n

We can as a rule, | think, trace I'M

OF the milk. II a farmer, or producer
as you call him, sends you milk that
Is dirty and full Of hay dust, which is
usually found by straining, and II hay
and other filth get into the milk, You
cannot expect to make good butter. You
may say that by separation or pasteur-
izatlon you can destroy these bad flaw
ors, but you cannot make the best but
ter OF such milk The best butter maxi
ers could not make the best butter out
or such milk; they might make better
butter than some, but not the best but
ter. So the undesirable favors for the
most part come from poor care OF the
milk. and ! cannot urge too strongly the
fact that to help our industry to make
better goods and make uniformly better
goods we must begin at the beginning
We have done great deal, but we have
begun at the wrong end; we have started
with the creamery end, and we should
start with the farmer. And every but

make better goods he has got to hold
up his farmer for good milk. Good milk

INDIAN BANK DEPOSITORS.
Red Men Of Kansas Are Learning How
to Put Away Their Money
Like White Men.

The Lawton Enterprise states that
many Indians near it's city have learned
how to take care Of their money. Near
ly every bank in Lawton has several
Indian cash deposits, says the Kansas
City Journal.
A week ago withered squaw with
buckskin leggings and moccasins went
to the bank. From under leather
thong which she wore as a substitute for
belt she produced leather pouch,
with fringe and beads. From out Of
this receptacle she produced little
buckskin sack. After fumbling about In
1t she secured small purse. Tucked
Into the corner Of it was a wad OF paper
twisted smaller than the end Of your lit
tie finger. She began to untwist and
unfold the wad with the care of a spe-
cialist performing an operation on the
human eye.
Gradually the paper developed into .
crumpled deposit check. She had some
difficulty in explaining to the teller how
much money she wanted. She signed
with her hand, grunted, held up her
brown fingers. Finally ne understood,
grunted three times and she grunted
one and smiled-when the sum that she
asked for was handed over.

factory. Where farmers are fitted up
with such an arrangement as this, we
receive first-class quality of milk.
There Is, of course. some danger from
the water getting too warm when the
wind does not blow. On this account the
windmill is not the best farm power
Some Of our patrons have small gasoline
engines, which they use for this pur
pose and for running their farm ma
chiIery, such as hand-separator, a feed
grinding MILL etc. In such cases there
is no difficulty in always having a good
supply of cold water, provided the well
Is inexhaustible.
Most farmers in this neighborhood use
eight-gallon cans. These are SO small
that the milk Is cooled in very short
time after the cans are placed in the cold
water. 1t Is good plan to stir the milk
occasionally In the cans while 1t Is cool
ing. This may be done by soldering a
tin disc to long, stiff wire handle with
loop on one end and pushing the disc
up and down in the can Of milk.
ought to be cooled in small cans and then
added to the large cans after 1t has
reached temperature near 60 degrees
All these arrangements and efforts to
cool the milk are worthless If the cans are
not thoroughly cleaned and scalded each
day. When skim milk Is returned from
the factory. it often sours before it
reaches the farm. especially in the hot,
muggy weather of July and August.
This sour milk should be emptied from
the cans as soon as they are returned,
and the faint which is left In them re-
moved az much as possible by a thor
ough scalding and then airing In the
bright sun. ! think great deal of the
difficulty farmers have in keeping their
milk sweet from day to day Is the result
OF improper washing Of the cans
The souring of milk does not interfere
with testing, except as it makes the milk
more or less lumpy, and on this account
is difficult to get fair sample Sour
ing does not injure the fat or affect It in
any way for testing If the milk can be
poured back and forth so as to get
fair sample OF 1t and it is added to
test bottle at once, 1t may be tested as
perfectly sweet milk.-Prof E. II. Far

MASSAGE BY THE BLIND.

become expert in the practice Of mas

to the blind are few and rarely remuner-
alive. The difficulty is one OF the gravest
obstacles to the improvement of the
condition OF this afflicted class. There
are already several blind masseurs In
that country. Some 500 is needed, and
central rooms are then to be secured
under hospital matron. Blind stu
dents must obtain first-class medical GER
tifoates in an art which is daily more
used, especially by surgeons in sprains
and bruises, and masseuses Will be al

and masseurs only men. The whole
scheme needs only to be mentioned to be
