The Farm Wood Lot.

The farm wood lot lends itself readily
to the practice of forestry because 1t is
usually small in extent and is under the
owners constant supervision. The owner
cares for harvests and markets the crops,
thereby preventing the waste common to
numbering on large scale. 1t is as poor
management to fail to harvest the tim
Der crop at the right time as 1t is the
wheat crop. AS long as the trees are not
decaying and show no signs OF rapid fail
ure they may be left profitably in the
stand. There are always to be found
some crooked and otherwise inferior trees,
which occupy the space that we'll formed
trees should occupy In order to have
perfect stand the thing TO do is to re-
move these trees gradually and replace
them with better sorts. Another com
mon condition is the growth of blue BIRCH
iron wood dog wood, common birch and
other poor or brushlike kinds of timber
of little or no commercial value. These
should be removed in the interior of the
wood lot but left about the border to
keep out winds. Another common con-
dtion of the wood lot is where market
able trees have been removed leaving an
open space The grass readily comes in
to this open space, and where the owner
sees a small amount of pasture he thinks
that it is going to waste unless he turns
the stock into it to eat the grass; but
while they are eating some of the past
ure they also eat some of the little trees
which promise to make future crop OF
timber. To be sure, they eat good and
bad alike, and many that they eat would
be of no value if left; but at the same
time they take away trees that under
artificial conditions are very expensive
to replace. These open places should be
filled with trees underneath which grass
cannot grow, then there will be no ex-
cuse for turning stock into the wood lot.
II shade is needed for the stock it would
be better to fence in an acre or so and
allow the stock to range IN this rather
than to range in the whole wood lot.
This class of wood lot is probably in the
majority. A very small expenditure is
necessary to stock these open places with
young trees. Generally there are trees
in the wood lot that can be removed to
advantage for reasons above stated, and
the proceeds from the marketing of these
trees will under most circumstances pay
the expens, of restocking the open
places. Keep an account with the tim
Der lot as with other branches of farm
management to see if the enterprise will
not pay in the long run as we'll as any
if there is something put in and not all
taken out. a third class of wood lot is
one which does not really exist in fact,
but should exist upon much of the roll
ing land that has been cleared of timber
and the side hills allowed to wash into
gulhes. Another similar condition is
where low, wet land has been cleared
and found Improbable even for pasture.
Such land brings the owner nothing but
is rather an expense to him because he
must pay taxes on all he owns. This
would rot be the case if such land was
properly stocked with trees.-Prof. Bogue

Politically Speaking.

The next legislative session will be one
of the most important held in years, be-
cause of the vital pending matters, thinks
the Grand Rapids Press. There must
be railroad legislation, primary reform
legislation, revision Of the game and
fish laws and provision made for a con-
stitutional convention. But all will be
pushed into the background because of
the scramble for one office, United
States SENATOR which could easily be
disposed of by the people # they were
given the chance.

one single reason for placing the respon-
sibility of electing the United States
senator upon the legislature, which
should only be charged with the bust.
ness of making laws for the state. To-
day the president is nominated in con-
vention, the governor and lieutenant
governor have always been nominated in
a convention, the other state officers are
nominated by the same machinery, so
by every rule of modern political prac-
tice our United States senators should
be nominated in convention too.
