Fnrm Timber Culture

AT the present rate of consumption
the timber supply of the United States
in view will, according to B. E. Fer
non, be exhausted within thirty years.
AS sixty to one hundred years are re-
quired for the production of full crop
millable timber, and for other reasons,
few farmers can engage in this busl-
ness. For the production of wood for
fuel purposes, however, the time re-
CURED is only twenty to thirty years,
and waste lands may be utilized for
this purpose. 1t is claimed also that

There are NOW about 10000 Cherokee
Indians and 1000 Cherokee freedmen
living in that nation who are all mem
bcrs of the tribe.
The Cheroliccs do more farming than
any of the other five civilized tribes.
Even before the first treaty was made
with them, in 1888, they invariably had
their patch of Indian corn near their
hut, the squlw doing tile labor in those
days. Now they also raise cotton. Most
of the work, however. is done by the
African descendants, their labor in
many sections of the nation being as
cheap as the wind.
When Congress created the Dawes
Commission, it instructed the same to
make rolls of the members of the Five
Tribes. In order to accomplish this, 1t
was necessary to take n census of each
of said tribes. When the rolls are COM
pleted they will contain names of full
blood Indians, negroes, and white men.
with every intervening degree of blood.
Some Indians entitled to enrolment
have but one siXty-fourth degree OF
Indian blood and show no resemblance
whatever to the red man. In compil-
ing these rolls, the commission was
guided TO an extent by the old tribal
rolls. Great difficulties confronted it,
however, in the change of names
among the members of all tribes.
The commission has its headquarters
in the town of Muskogee in the Greek
nation. When the making of the rolls
began, the great majority of the In

Possible Yicld of Soil,

A recent publication by Prince Kra-
potkin. the Russan economist. recites
some of the effects of intensive culture
in the possible yields. Thus in Bel
GUM they grow enough agricultural
products to feed their own population
Of 400 inhabitants to the square mile,
and have enough left to send $1,000
900 worth each year to Great Britain.
If we could do as well in our fields, the
State of New York might furnish food
for 23,000,O00 people, and Texas could
feed twice the present population of
the United States. The prince tells Of
instances where eighteen tons of hay Il
year have been gathered from 4 single
acre. and an acre has produced ] 800
to 1000 bushels of potatoes. But this
is as nothing compared to the crops
under glass IN Belgium and the isle of
Jersey, where the land is kept under
cultivation all the year. one crop being
ready to succeed another without any
interval. BY this method he claims
that thirteen acres under glass in Jer-
sey have produced better money re-
turns than, 1900 acres under ordinary
methods of farm cultivation. This must
ne a satisfaction to those who are wor-
-ying from fear that the world will
not produce enough TO feed the grand
children of the present generation

The Universal Apple.

The latest estimate places the total
number of apple trees of bearing age
in the United States at something over
2OO,O0OO0O. This is nearly three trees
to every person. These trees yield more
than 1T5,OOO,O0O bushels. Not all these
apples are consumed at home, for In
years of full crop more than 100000
bushels so abroad. Yet, the apples kept
at home are more than two bushels for
every adult and child. We are nation
of apple enters. This fact may not be
to our credit, however, when we re-
member that good part of all these
apples are Ben Davis and other kinds
that refined and cultivated taste will
not choose for It's dessert. Yet probably
half our people never raise an apple;
and of the half who do raise them but
small percentage grows for market;
and of those who grow for market. only

Yet there is money III apple-growing.-
