FOSTERING THE WOOD LOT
Some Suggestions for the Manage
ment Of This Valuable Ad-
junct of the Farm.

Many Of our farms have wood lots
| on them that are being rapidly cut over,
but which would, If rightly handled, give
drewOod for the farm for generations
to come. There is one mistake being
made in the handling of these wood lots
to which attention should be called
That is permitting the trees to grow too
far apart. The result is that the trees
branch largely and branches are very
difficult to work into stove wood. II
they are to be sold they must generally
besOld at discount because they do not
pack closely into the wagons The
amount of labor to work up such trees
is 50 very great that there is little profit
In the operation. What the farmer
wants in his wood lot. says the Farmers
Review, is straight tree with numerous
small branches. Such a tree works up
easily into stove wood of any length. 1t
packs closely on the wagon and the large
trunks may be easily split by beetle and
wedges. The farmer that has a wood lot
that is growing too sparsely will do well
to either plant seeds of the best kinds OF
fuel wood, or encourage the seedlings
that have already started The small
trees should be encouraged to grow three
or four feet apart rather than a rod
apart.

COLORADO CONCERNS.

Routt county, Colorado, contains
within its boundaries 72,770 head Of
cattle, valued at $S17,643. In this re-
spect it leads all the counties in the
state.
From 35,000,000 to 50,000,OO0 more
tons CT freight will be shipped into
Denver this year than last, say the
general freight agents, who also add
that last year was considered the bar
ner year in the railroad history of the
town.
Owners Of 100000 acres of dry
lands in eastern Colorado and western
Colorado have formed the Colorado
Association for Scientific Farming. to
spread the knowledge of the Cambeli
system of dry farming to the world
and to induce the settlement Of the
western plains.
Following the success which has at
tended the feeding Of field peas to
lambs in the San Luis valley, hundreds
of farmers who have made fortunes in
the process are now trying the same
food on cattle, with equally good sue
cess. More than 100000 lambs are be-
ing fattened there this year, and it is
believed that in two years more tbs
number of cattle fattened per season
will exceed that number.

SOMETHING ABOUT SALT.

Salt, which is an article in daily use
in the humblest homes, has a number
of interesting facts concerning it.
The Romans believed that if the salt
put on sacrifice fell off it presaged
disaster. Hence the origin of the bad
luck attendant on salt spilling.
Salt is used all over the world much
in the same way as water, animals and
human beings alike craving for it. In
some parts of Africa children will eat
1t in preference to sugar, and on the
Gold Coast a handful of salt will pur-
chase two slaves.
The Germans call salt "the gift OF
God" and used to believe that prayers
were better answered when offered near
salt. In the east salt is considered sa-
cred; all oaths taken over it are inviol-
able, and when an Arab offers salt to a
guest he guarantees his safety.

FRUIT TREE NOURlSHMENT.
What Is Taken Out of the Ground in
Growing and Maturing
the Fruit.

The Cornell experiment station Lul-
letin No. 103 On ''Soil Depletion in Re-
spect to the Care of Fruit Trees" shows
that the plant food contained in 20
crops of apples of Is bushels per tree.
and 30 trees per acre, when the leaves
that are formed are also taken into the
calculation, amounts to 1887 pounds OF
nitrogen, 80 pounds of phosphoric acid
and 1895 pounds of potash. Prof. Voor-
bees shows that 20 years continuous
cropping with wheat, assuming an aver
age crop of Is bushels per acre, and
seven pounds of straw to three bushels
Of wheat, would remove 660 pounds Of
nitrogen, 211 pounds of phosphoric acid
and 324 pounds of potash. We can thus
compare the results of 20 years cropping
Of apples, after the production of trees,
capable of bearing such crops, has taken
large amounts of plant food from the
soil, for the 20 years cropping of apples
has removed more than twice as much
nitrogen, half as much again of phos-
phoric acid, and three times as much
potash as the wheat crops during the
same period. 1t is evident, then, that
an orchard will far more rapidly deplete
the fertility of the soil than the con-
tinuous cropping in wheat. Any farmer
will understand that 20 years continu-
Gus cropping in wheat would be bad
farming and would result in soil deple-
ton. How much more then does the
continuous cropping in apples deplete
the soil. Burn the hardwood of an apple
tree and you will fully understand the
amount of potash removed from the
soil in the wood alone.
