TALK ABOUT WHITE PINES.
Bureau of Forestry Gives Some Infor-
nation on How to Start Little
Plantation.

The white pine is reproduced from
seed. The cones, which average about
six inches in length, bear from 80 to 75
seeds each There are about $500 seeds
to the pound, or 1900 to the ounce. The
percentage of termination in fresh seed
Is 70 to 80. If the seed Is sown carefully
In drills on suitable soil, and cared for in
a proper manner subsequently, so per
cent, may be expected to produce seed
lings which will live to the transplanting
stage. II, however, seed be sown broad
cast, on soil not properly cared for, a fire.
quent result is not more than 1000 to
5000 seedlings from the pound. At this
rate 1t would pay the planter better to
buy two or three-year seedlings from a
nursery or collect them from the forest
Seed years" occur but one in four to
seven years. Since white pine seed re-
quires two years for development, It Is
possible to predict seed year IL months
previous to the time for collection.
Ample opportunity is thus given to pre-
pare for planting when seed may be
obtained at the smallest cost to the
planter.
The white pine cone opens and throws
Its seed before II falls from the tree.
consequently II is necessary to collect
the cones before they open. Different
methods of collecting have been used in
various parts of the country. The quick
est method is that of chopping the trees
and picking the cones by hand from
the fallen trees; but this should never
De resorted to unless the trees are ma
ture and can Immediately be used fol
lumber In such instances 1t is some.
times advisable to wait for seed year
before harvesting crop of timber. Lop.
ping on large branches should never
be resorted to unless the branches art
cut close to the stem, in which case the
pruning benefits the future timber, pro.
vidiDg the crown is not robbed.
Where trees have large crowns the
tips of the lateral branches may be re-
moved with pruning shears without in
jury to the trees, but the upper par
of the crown should never be disturbed
except by hand picking. A long pol,
with sharp, curved. steel knife at tn.
end, may be used to advantage in pick
ing cones. 1t is usually possible to OBJ
tain seeds most easily from trees whicl
are grown in open fields or along road
sides; and they bear more and frequent
ly better seed.
Seed should be stored in a cool, dr..
place, In small bags suspended in th,
air. Light freezing Is not injurious. bu
heavy freezing should be guarded against

The Low-Wheeled Wagon

Farmers seldom stop to think what
an immense lot of useless labor they
perform during the season by the use
of the regulation high-wheeled wagon.
Very many farm products of great
weight are lifted, shOveled or pitch
forked to a wagon box or rack, from
four 70 five feet from the ground, only
to be again lifted to the surface at the
end of the houl. Add to this the labor
of putting hay, grain or fodder to the
very top of load eight or nine feet
from the ground, and we feel inclined to
ask the question:: Can we lessen the
labor?"
Careful experiments have shown that
the draught on very low wheels is but
little II any greater than on those of
average height. And as these low
wheels can be had to At any size skein
on any wagon the farmer may own, the
cost is small when compared with the
benefit derived,-Farmers' Voice.

INEXPENSIVE TRIMMINGS.
Vogue for the Seasons
Gowns.

Cordings Of the shirred variety can be
mentioned as one form of a cheap, pretty
trimming. With yard of white satin
cut on the bais one can make great
quantity of shirred cording. Let the
cords vary in size, and use them in diff
ferent ways on the skirt, says the Brook
lyn Eagle.
Fold trimmings are inexpensive and
pretty, and there is such variety of
folds that one need not fear mononty.
There are all kinds of folds, from the
tiny fold which is called piping to the
wide fold which Is box plated and
stitched around the skirt as a trimming.
One can get up some remarkably hand
some trimmings in this manner.
And there are other trimmings. The
fashion of cutting out roses of lace and
applying them to the gown has not gone
out. But the lace roses must be some-
what worked, II one can get hold of a
very cheap lace insertion of lace by the
yard one would do well to buy coGaider-
able of it. several yards II possible.
The matter of cutting cut the roses is

cut out with little margin to leave
room for the application.
Now, apply the flowers to the gown
which should not be covered with them
by any means, but merely trimmed with
them, Roses can trim wide flounce,
They can be used In panel fashion upon
q dinner gown and they are always
charming as sleeve or cuff trimming
After flowers have been applied they
should be lightly worked A few black
or deep leaves can be placed around
them and into the roses there can be
worked a few beads of gittering jet.
Applied roses, while far from new, ar.
never old and the fact that Dame Fash.
ion Is in love with them this year makes
them all the more desirable. They can
be applied and then worked in colors

while for the artistic woman to expert
ment little with her trimmings and
see what can be done with them.

BEAUTY HINTS FOR WOMEN
How to Take Care of the Skin and
Make It Clear and Healthy
Looking,

Though a woman may have chiseled
features, rosy cheeks and bright eyes,
yet she misses being good to look upon
II her skin shows lack of care.
II is astonishing how quickly neg
lected skin will retaliate. Almost before
woman can realize it, she will discover
that her complexion is telling tales of
Its neglect, says Woman's Home Com
panion.
One of the first signs that the skin Is
not cared for Systematically and prop
srly is the appearance of enlarged pores.
These unsightly looking blemishes an
nounce the fact that the skin needs nour-
shment II Is in these enlarged pores
that particles of dirt lodge, and in this
way the dreaded blackhead is formed.
There is no excuse for the woman who
allows her face to be marred by these
disfiguring black specks.
As soon as they put in an appearance
she should remove them with come
done extractor, which squeezes them out
of the pores. This removing the black
heads is simple enough, but keeping
them from appearing again means care
full day-after-day attention to the skin.
The pores must be kept clean and thor.
oughly nourished.
At least once day the face should be
literally drenched with pure, nourish.
ing cold cream. The cream must be
thoroughly rubbed into the pores. 1t
should be allowed to stay upon the face
until 1t is well sucked up by the pores;
then 1t should be removed with the mas
sage-bulb, which not only draws the
cream out effectually, but any particles
of dust that may have lodged in the
pores.
Iron the face frequently" is our adj
vice to the women who wish to keen
fresh and young-looking: but of course
be careful to use the right sort of iron
We use little iron made of piece OF
lava. To be sure, it Is unusual to put
lava to this use, but the French ironer
as we call 1t, is capable of accomplishing
much good in transforming neglected
and tired-looking faces
1t has magic way of removing the
worry-lines about the mouth. II used
faithfully, It will iron away a double
chin, and for banishing the unsightly
bags under the eyes. which tell of Ill
health and weariness, it is unequaled.

Keeping Apples Sweet for Years.

A farmer near Union City. Mich,
amazes his neighbors by keeping ap-
pies, pears. peaches, grapes, etc, In
their natural state for several years.
He now has apples and grapes grown
In 1901 which can hardly be distin-
guished from this years product. He
now gives out his method Of preserva-
tion. which is very simple, as he mere
ly selects well-developed fruit with
good stems, picks 1t carefully and sears
the end of the stem with lighted
match Then he wipes the fruit per-
fectly dry, places 1t in a piece of dry
wrapping paper and lays 1t away in a
moderately dry and cool cellar

is potatoes stewed with tender bacon.
Cut the bacon into large dice and fry

should not be allowed to crisp. Drain

In the usual manner, that is, cut in
cubes, and warmed in a rich cream
sauce. Let the potatoes and bacon SIM

Dehorning.

The pain Of the operation of de-
hornlng has been overestimated, and
the mortality is practically nothing
The shrinkage in the milk and butter
fat yields of dairy cows is small and
temporary. The worry, pain and
cruelty of animals to their mates Ia
eliminated when the horns are re-
moved, and the lack of fear and the
quiet oontentment Of the individuals
Of the herd are at once noticeable. The
benefits from dehorning dairy cattle
cannot be accurately measured, but
there Is an almost unanimous opinion
In It's favor among those who have
precticed 1t In their herds.-Farm and

It may tend to relieve the excited
minds of those who think the country Is
becoming too populous to learn that
emigration is almost as great as the i'm
migration in a recent period. The
American people in their turn have
come to be stirred by the migrating i'm
pulse. During the month of July last
the number of emigrants amounted to
66,050, or nearly 5000 more than the
new incomers in the same month. While
this movement is going on across the
seas there is a constant and increasing
stream OF emigration over the northern
