Care Of the Woodlot
Continued from page I

Don't forget reproduction. In thin
ming your woodlot, have an eye to the
young growth. Spare it as much as you
can in telling and hauling the logs.
Give the seedlings the chance, and they
will seize it and grow into saplings and
poles. Saplings and poles are already
valuable, and little later still are them
selves grown trees.
Don't do all your cutting in one spot,
just because it is trifie more conven-
lent to do so. By taking tree here and
there, where it can best be spared or is
actually better down, you will secure
just as much wood and at the same time
draw as lightly as possible on your flu
ture supply. Where the stand is COM
posed only of old trees you may, of
course, often make clean cutting to adj
vantage, especially where neighboring
seed trees will reseed the opening to a
new crop.
Don't let the carelessness of other per-
sons do the damage to your woodlot by
fire which you refrain from doing your
self. A fire in a neighboring field may
creep into your woodlot and burn over
it, scorching the trunks of the trees or
even setting the crowns ablaze. 1t is
worth while, in the dangerous season, to
see that the borders of the woodlot are
clear of infiammable material. Especi-
ally clear away the leaves so as to form
miniature fire lane about the forest
Don't be in too great hurry TO realize
on your woodlot investment. Be salts
fed with permanent revenue, which is
the interest on your forest capital. You
may materially increase this interest by
managing the woodlot itself so that the
Trimmings always bear wise proportion
to the yield Meantime the steady rise
in the value of all forest products will
add little by little to the market value of
your timber Years hence, when you
need it, the woodlot which has supplied
you all along will in all probability
bring you far more than at present. Or
you may leave it to your children, who
in turn will find it a most acceptable
bank account.

DESTROY IT
South Wing of Marquette Norma
School Burns.
DAMAGE AMOUNTS TO $4,000
No Insurance on the Structure--Fire
MAY Have Been Due to Defective
Wiring - Valuable Art Collection
Consumed BY Flames.

Marquette, Mich, Dec. 1S.-Fire Sat
urday night, destroyed the south wing
of the Northern Normal school, and
damaged the library building. The
loss is $4,000. The state carried no
insurance. The cause is unknown.
1t is believed that faulty electrical
wiring may have been responsible.
The fire was not discovered until 1t
had secured a good start, and by the
time the fire department had made the
run of a mile to the scene, the struc-
ture was practically mass of flames.
The library building adjoining, in
which are the Moses Colt Tyler col
lection of books and thousands OF
other volumes, was saved after a
stubborn battle, but suffered to the
extent of $4,000.
In the building destroyed were art
works valued at $4,000, many of
which had been purchased from a
fund contributed by Peter White, sew
en- pianos, and also invaluable manu-
scripts, owned by the instructors, and
which had taken years of labor To pre-
pare.
The structure also housed tn train
ing school department and the Normal
Office, all the records of which were
burned.
Science hall, which constructs the
north wing, situated 200 feet distant,
was damaged slightly, but scncol will
be resumed here at the close of the
holiday vacation.
The Northern Normal school was
granted an appropriation of $4,000
during the closing hours of the last
legislature for special purposes, tc
complete the wings of the main build
ing The bill was put through by
Rep John r. Gordon of Marquette.
The ways and means committee had
cut the amount down and Gordon was
the only legislator who succeeded in
inducing the house to override the &C.
ton of the committee. He worked
indefatigably for his appropriation and
had a huge picture of the building
on one of the walls in the house.

will increase year by year. While you
use it, it will renew itself, and the price
of its products are certainly not decreas-
ing.
Don't turn your woodlot into apasture.
Tree seedlings are quickly bruised and
crushed by the trampling of live stock.
Hungry cattle browse upon them. The
soil becomes packed hard and unable to
retain moisture so much needed for the
encouragement of young growth.
Don't thin your woodlot to heavily.
If you do, large openings are made
through which the sunlight streams in,
drying the soil and encouraging the
growth of grass, which should never be
suffered to replace the spongy humus
that forms the natural top layer of soil
in healthy forest. A crown canopy,
formed by the leaves and branches,
should always shade the forest floor.
Too much light encourages the forma-
ton of branching, short-stemmed trees.
DOH DuII ONtl tiiO NOOtiCt. ~ iis's'
been pointed out that the woodlot is not
fit for pasture purposes, but even If 1T
were, the burning over of the soil would
still do irreparable damage to young
growth, consume the litter which ought
to rot into humus, and destoy the very
conditions which nature seeks to estab-
lish and preserve.
Don't select only the best trees in a
woodlot which needs wedding. Nearly
every woodlot is composed of a mixed
stand in which dead and unsound trees,
weed trees, and sound, useful trees are
intermingled If you select and remove
only the choicest living trees, the stand
will grow poorer instead of better, and
in time will become almost worthless.
An improvement cutting which, even at
a little cost, removes the weed trees and
those which are dead, crooked or other
wise of little worth, and will give the
remaining stand clear start. The
woodlot quickly responds to such treat
ment, improving vigorously under the
new conditions. The larger yield of
better quality in due time more than
repays the labor.
