w1c1srD WASTE IN WASHINGTON.

WICKED WASTE IN WASHINGTON,
A short time since we questioned
whether there was now in operation in
this country any of the old wasteful
logging and burning business incident
to the clearing up of timber land. II
seems that there is, for letter from
Washington says that hundreds Of men
have taken homesteads up in the noun.
tains, where the giant frs and cedars
grow, trees $50 feet high, from four to
six feet in diameter and containing
from 5000 to 10000 feet OF lumber,
board measure. AT present there is NO
method whereby these giant logs can
be got to market or made available for
lumber, so the homesteader bores two
inch hole horizontally to the heart of
the tree and another at an angle,of for
ty-five degrees from above to intersect
1t. He then fills the hole with dry grass
and sets fire to it. In about four DAYS
the tree will burn off SO that it will
fall. The same process is repeated to
cut the trunk into ten or fifteen foot
logs, which are then piled up and Who'll.
ly burned. The timber thus destroyed
is worth more than all the crops which
will ever be raised upon the land, these
splendid, trees being worth over $1OO
each if only there was some way in
which to get the lumber to railroad
or navigable water. The Justification
for this wanton waste of the finest for
est product in all the wide world is
found only in the fact that the home
steader must have piece of cleared
land upon which to raise some crop ia
enable him to live. 1t would be far bet.
ter for him and the country could ha
get his living somewhere else and leave
these forests alone until such time as
modern methods and machinery could
clear the land without such an awful
waste. We also noted in a recent trip
down south that in east Texas there
was in the timbered sections much OF
the old waste in the clearing up Of the
land for crops. The day will soon be
here when tree hundred years old
will represent good deal of money.

No crop which is generally grown
has greater recuperative power than
corn. Through the corn growing belt
the adverse climatic conditions of May
and June may leave the crop on the
LIST Of July in stunted, backward
and altogether unpromising condition,
but If 1t has been well cultivated up to
that time the tropical heat Of July,
August and half of September will do
wonders with it and often insure fine
crop where it had seemed impossible.
We are very much of the opinion that
September is really the crucial month
of the corn growing season. When this
month is hot and frostless it has much
to do with the filling Of empty corn
cribs.

A father sitting in the car seat be-
hind us short time since was busily
engaged in showing his ten-year-old
son how to match pennies. The boy
learned easily, and if the father in a
few years has to mortgage his home to
pay poker debt contracted by his son
he will have nobody but himself to
blame. We do not understand what
excuse man has to offer for being as
big fool as this.

Intelligent and sensible methods Of
agriculture will redeem many OF the
seemingly waste places, for it is a poor
soil and most ungenial climate where
nothing can be successfully grown.
The Doggy marsh may be drained and
made the most productive acre on the
farm. the bleak and barren knoll may
be converted into thrifty grove of
pines and cedars, the duck pond be
changed into a cranberry plantation
and the white sand, piny sections be
made to support q thrifty farm popula-
ton by the jadicious combination OF
rye, clover, the potato and the cow.
The new agriculture works much ON
this line OF Resumption, recoyery and
renovation OF waste places as--.sa-.- >;.sii

probability of war with Panama 2"
The general considered the cues
tion a moment and said:
Well. I'm here

FASHIONS IN SHIRT WAIST.

The new fabrics. canvas, madras and
the cototn cheviots, yield more readily
to the iron. They, are not starched and
they are really more stylish and grace
ful than the stiff shirt waists.
Simplicity of style is the order of
this season. The waist consisting of
three box plaits, or two wide, stitched
folds on either side of wide box plait,
large buttons and bishop sleeves is far
more effective than the betucked and
berutf1ed waist of the past.
The cauvases and cheviots seem to
improve with washing and they GER
tainly pay for the little trouble ex-
pended upon them.
