Gray Cues Hard to Find.

"Look around during your next ex-
ploration of Chinatown" says close
observer, 'and see II you can find any
Chinaman with u gray cue. l have
seen gray haired Cinnamon all right
and one OF two with fuzz on their
faces which might by courtesy be
called boards, but a gray cue never. A
good deal of the average cue Is all
make believe anyway, several inches
of the end of 1t being composed Of
black braid.
II have always suspected that there
was more or less false hair about it,
too; but that is of course a matter that
cannot be determined by casual inspec-
ton. Such Cinnamon as ! have seen
with gray hair have had black cues.
1t may be, however, that the ends of
the cue, instead of being false, are
dyed. d."-Philadelphia Record.

A FARM WOOD LOT.

constant Foresight Necessary - Re-
production and Succession.
BY FRANK A. WAUGH. Hatch Experi-
ment Station, Massachusetts.
One of the commonest shortcomings
In farm management of wood lots is
that the trees are cut without regard
to their reproduction. Constant fore
sight should be had to the future COM
position Of the wood lot. The valuable
species should be encouraged. Pines
and hemlocas should lie allowed to
bear seed. Young oak seedlings should
be favored. A good growth of oak can
sometimes be secured from sprouts
coming up from stumps (coppice repro
duction). Chestnut reproduces itself
vigorously in this way, especially
where young trees are cut close to the
ground.
1t will be noticed also that some spe-
cies follow each other in a definite suc-
cession. On waste land, recently cut
over areas or abandoned farm fields
birch and poplar are usually the first
to appear. As soon as these trees have
formed n forest cover, have begun TO
shade the ground, other species come
in. Pines, oaks and hemlocks belong
to this second crop. Comparatively
worthless species may thus be taken

Southern Mnnchuria.

The st. James Gazette says: "The
rainy season in southern Manchuria is
not so bad as it has been represented
to be. Residents of long experience
state that while there are days in
which heavy falls of rain take place
there are not many consecutive days in
which torrential rains are experienced.
When a really heavy downpour of rain
of some hours duration occurs it is al
most Invariably followed by three or
four weeks of splendid, dry, bracing
weather. There is no finer summer eli
mate in the world than that of south
ern Manchuria. The temperature In
the shade is seldom above SO degrees"

How the Native Draft Horse Has

In connection with it's exhibit Mt the

horses is an important feature in Bel

Any one who has watched dragon
fly fitting about the surface OF small,
reedy ponds or near the shores OF
large ones during the summer and ear
ly fall months has noticed its ire
quent dipping of the extremity Of its
long body in the water as It skins
along. The dragon fly thus engaged is
always the female, and every time she
dips her body in the water she de-
posits an egg. The specific gravity OF
the egg is such that 1t sinks to the
bottom among the weeds.

Improvement Cuttings.
AS already hinted. cuttings are to be
made not with sole regard to the
wants to be Immediately supplied. The
chosen largely with reference to the
trees which remain. The stand of tim
ber should be kept fairly uniform, not
so thick as to kill out good sized trees
and not so thin as to allow heavy side
branches to grow. Where two good
trees are unduly crowding each other
one of them should be removed. In de-
Gliding which tree shall go and which
shall stay the question Is not so much
which will make the best lumber now
as which will make the best growth in
the next ten or twenty years. II the
future is kept thus consistently in
mind 1t will seldom be necessary to
make any extensive Improvement cut
tings" just for the sake of helping the
wood lot. Every tree taken out>will
represent an Improvement cutting.
Artificial Plantations.
The typical wood lot and the sort by
far the most common in New England
consists of a natural forest. II 1t is
properly managed 1t will reproduce it
self indefinitely. No tree planting is
necessary. In many places. however,
even in Massachusetts,, tree planting is
necessary, practicable and profitable.
Our own wood lot contains both natu-
raj woods and planted areas. There is
one lot OF planted white birch fifteen
years old.
There Is another area planted with
Scotch pines and larch mixture twen-
ty-five years old. One of the best arti-
fetal plantations is Of pure larch twen-
ty-four years old. These trees were set
in rows four feet apart, with trees
about two feet apart in the rows. They
have done very well indeed and are
producing valuable timber

Ears l and 8 are slightly better in
shape than2.
The second cut shows sections of
rows of kernels taken from two differ
ent ears. Judging from outward ap-
pearances of the ears, little or no diff
ference in their values could be dis
covered. The ears from which these
two rows were taken were almost ex-
actly of the same size, yet one ear
weighed 16 per cent more than the
other and shelled out 201a per cent
more corn. One has not only very
much poorer feeding value than the
other, but has much lower vitality
and would give weaker plant.
1t is very important that the tips Of
the kernels, the portion next to the
cob, should be full and plump so that
there Is no space between the kernels
down near the cob.

Cider For Table Use.

Good keeping cider cannot be made
in warm weather. In making cider for
use as a beverage to keep during the
winter months it should be made as
late as possible, preferably in freezing
weather, out of good apples, of course,
and racked off after being allowed to
settle two or three days, after. which,
If it can be exposed to cool weather
and allowed to thoroughly chill, then
stored in cool place, 1t will keep a

 Breathe Hyomei for a few minutes four times a day, through the neat pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit, and beneht will be seen at once. Continue this treatment for a short time, and your catarrh will have been cured by Hyomei.
 There Is no roundabout way in Hyo- mei's medicinal action; it does not try to euro a disease of the head by put ting medicine in the stomach. It fills the air you breathe with balsamio healing, that soothes the irritated and smarting membrane, destroys the germs of eatarrh that are present in the head and throat, and is the only treatment that can be relied upon to cure.
 When using Hyomei the air you breathe will be like that on the noun tains high above the sea level. filled with volatile, antiseptic fragrance that heals and cures the irritated mucous membrane of the air passages.
 This treatment has been so success- fuI. curing 99 per cent of all who have used 1t, that Hyomei is now sold by E. c. Fowler under an absolute guar antee to refund the money if it does not benefit. You run no risk whatever in buying Hyomei. If 1t did not possess powers to cure, 1t could not be sold upon this plan.
 The complete Hyomei outfit costs $100 and comprises a hard rubber in- haler, a bottle of Hyomel and a drop per. The inhaler will last a life-ti {; and additional bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for sec.

 The pretty double rooms were thrown together for the occasion and adorned with cut flowers and the pie lures of the young artist. Through out the hours a buffet luncheon was served, and the guests enjoyed the pleasure of seeing the pictures with which the walls were thickly hung. Some of them which elicited great ad- miration were: Morning Mist" a beautiful piece of tapestry seven by four feet long. The woman's figure in the tones or red, gold and the soft mist almost tells the name. Another piece of tapestry is Bougereau's Cap tive" Over the mantel hung several miniatures. and higher still life sized portrait of little girl in white and blue. One door was hung with water color sketches, and Q corner was filled with oil sunset pictures that have caught the short-lived glow of dying day. Many pictures from life of models-a bcwilderine study of old men. old women, tender faces and young faces.
