we tried was tho fur from 4 pole cat:
It's odor was not very bad. yet bad enough
so the horse did not caro- " get its nose

trying it again. Probably any fur would
have tho same result. 1t Is not a good

AN INCENTIVE FOR THE FOREST
Before another season for tree planting
comes around 1t Is desired to again urge
that farmers with more or less soil not
available for cultivated crops tako up tho
question OF forest tree planting seriously.
The writer may be a little cranky on this
subject. but to see our forests rapidly
dwindling away and little or nothing being
planted is enough to make Intelligent men
everywhere think. Already tho price of
lumber used in the building of an ordin-
airy cottage has Increased from % to ~
per cent. over prices of ten yearsago. Trua
about 10 per cent. of this increase Is to be
charged to the increase OF labor, but the
balance is due to the growing scarcity OF
lumber. According to many reliable new2
reports several of the larger railroads ara
buying cheap land, or using any such thoy
may now own, on which to plant yellow
locust trees so that they may have q sup
| ply OF ties for their road beds at O fair
cost. 1t Is also stated that the telegraph
companies are seriously considering tho
saint pan III OTQeT 10 OBTAIN material Icf
the pins thoy use about which to fastcs
their wiros. Here is an opportunity to
make a portion OF your forest profitable
while you live. IL you VIII. but do not pL,a
licusts entirely: set soma of tho moro val
uablA and slower growing trees 80 that fu-
ture generations may rise up and call you
blessed. If W. take from bountifu, nature
all she so literally gives us and give hes
no chance to grow the sanps things for our
descendants what q future OF discomfort
awaits them 1t Is unfair. so do your par.
for poster.ty.
