THE FARM WOOD LOT.
A Necessary Adjunct from Which to
Obtain Fuel, Timber and Much
Real Pleasure.

Every farm ought to have an acre or
more of woodland. Ten acres to
100-acre farm is probably an ideal pro-
portion. In many portions of the
country this woodland exists on I'M
tillable hills and mountainsides. In
many places the wood lot, if 1T ever
exists, must be an artificial creation.
The wood lot will furnish alarge pro-
portion of the fuel needed on the farm.
The fuel tax will undoubtedly become
year by year heavier as wood and coal
become scarcer. 1t will furnish posts
for fencing and timber for repairs to
buildings. If sawmill is not con-
venient, the logs can readily be dressed
into shape with the broadax.
Some years ago neighbor of mine
inherited small tract of land which
was without buildings. He was a
mechanic, with a large family, and
living in town, where there was little
chance to earn good living for the
children. On the land inherited was a
good wood lot of probably seven acres.
Loose stone was abundant on the
neighboring hills. Sand filled the gut
ters at the roadside.
Our friend rented house and lot
near his land. In the winter, when he
could do no farm work, he collected
stone from the mountains. He made
out bill of lumber necessary for a
house and barn. A portable sawmill
was brought to his wood lot, and the
lumber for the buildings was soon
piled up to season. Sand was gathered
from the roadside, and in two years,
through a good deal of hard work and
the aid of the wood lot, nice buildings
were erected, and all at very small
outlay, the man himself being able to
handle carpenters tools. If the tim
Der had not been on the land he could
not have erected the buildings.
Another friend, a teacher, purchased
small piece of woodland on which
was what appeared to be only a small
amount of scrub pine. He planned a
house, made out a bill of lumber
needed, cut the scrub pines and out
of it entirely erected his house, the
frame, siding, floors and shingles all
being from this timber, generally con-
sidered nearly worthless. This man,
having taste and mechanical ability in
addition, has really beautiful home,
and it cost him very small sum for
labor. Not only will the wood lot fur
nish lumber, fencing, bean poles, ETC.,
but it will give to the owner and his
family glimpses of nature, so often
nearly wanting in well cultivated re-
gions.
In time the wood lot will have IN
derbrush and wild flowers. It will
form shelter for birds and rabbits
and will be retreat to which the
family can go for rest and recreation
for an occasional half day in summer
The wood lot will be beautiful spot''
on the farm. 1t will help to make the
children love the country. 1t will add
to the general charms of the land
scape. By all means let every farm
have its own piece of woods

Facts for Potato Growers.

Potatoes are the most expensive of
all the staple foods. They contain
from $50 to 800 pounds of water in
every 1000 pounds, the solid matter
being mostly starch. The farmer also
finds the potato crop one of the most
exacling in its requirements of labor,
one of the greatest obstacles being
warfare against beetles and diseases.
At present prices potatoes are more
expensive than beef, considering the
actual proportion of nutritious mat
ter contained, but it is only when
prices are high that the potato crop
is very profitable, owing to the ex-
penses necessary for it's cultivation.

three horses are hitched. The chains
may be attached without drilling
holes, if iron rods of suitable size be
heated and bent round the rail at the
proper places, SO as to form eyes or
hooks.
Another good stalk breaker may be
made by selecting wooden pole of as
uniform diameter as possible and long
enough to break five or seven rows OF
stalks. After ascertaining the center
of gravity by balancing over log or
some like object, cut notches at 31a

MANY BURNED ALIVE.
Insane Asylum in London Destroyed
More Than 80 Inmates Lose
Their Lives.

London, Jan. 2S.-Over so insane pa
ticnts, all women, were burned to
death by fire at the Colncy Hatch
asylum Tuesday morning.
The outbreak occurred in the Jewish
wing of the institution. The flames
spread with great rapidity and before
they could be got under control five
wooden buildings, including dormi-
tories and the doctors apartments,
were Quilted.
All the efforts of the officials were
directed to removing the insane in
mates, but the latter became wild with
excitement and so panic-strickcn that
not only were they unable to help
themselves, but greatly impcdcd the
operations of those trying to save
them.
The corrugated iron roofs of the
dormitorics and the bedstcads of the
patients were melted by the intense
heat. Some of the lunatics were
burned in their beds and the charrcd
remains of others were found huddled
together in corners, while groups of
partially consumed bodies on the site
of the corridors showed that many
persons lost their lives and sacrificed
those of others in their frantic efforts
to force passage through the flames
to the main building.
The latest estimate places the num-
Der of deaths at SO. All the victims
were women.

Jersey railroad just west of Westfeld
station. Three cars were telescoped
and destroyed, several Of the injured
losing their lives in the flames before
assistance could reach them. The suf-
fering of dozens of others were height

rescuers was made difficult and peri

A freight train was blocked on
track 4, and the local received orders
to proceed on the express track to

was due at Dunellen. She had Just
started and was moving slowly when
the Royal Blue, travelling apparently
at full speed, which at that point
usually approNimates 65 miles an
hour. crashed into the rear end.
The engine and the three worst
wrecked cars were piled into an awful
heap, containing at least 100 dead and
injured. From the mass came fear
full cries for aid. A minute later the
wreck caught fire from the firebox of
the locomotive. The screams of the
injured in the heap were intensified as
they found themselves hemmed in by
the flames.

TO have finally severed the mans leg
and then carried him TO one of the par

When the engine plowed into the
rear car it partly split the car open and
at the same time lifted il up and onto
itself. In this manner those in that
car, besides being crushed, were scald-
