Watersheds of New England.

We need to preserve the watersheds
of New England for irrigating our val
ley lands and to give ns an equitable
water flow for our industries as much
as do our western people to supply
their great artificial irrigation systems.
The government would not allow the
forests removed after it had gone to
great expense in building irrigation en-.
terprises which depend upon such res
ervoirs for success. None the less
should the White mountain and other
proposed reserves be allowed to sue
cumb to injudicious management.
While the conduitS or streams are nat.
ural and have not been an actual out
lay of expense to the government, new
ertheless the Importance of their judi
cious outstanding by the nation is
equally great. If the national govern
ment will look after the great water
sheds and natural reservoirs of the
country the states will gladly improve
and enhance their forest policies and
resources.-Forestry and Irrigation.

SEED WHEAT.
Running Out-Changed Environment.
Local Production.

Local Production
There is a belief among farmers,
grain dealers and millers that change
OF seed wheat from time to time is very
desirable and that the productive pow
er and quantity of grain deteriorate
when it is grown continuously in the
same locality.
Seed obtained originally from Kan
sas and Iowa in 1899 has since that
time been grown at the Nebraska sta
ton with Nebraska grown seed. a
like comparison has been made since
1902 between western and central
Kansas, Ohio, Iowa and Nebraska
grown seed.
The experiments resulted as follows:
Seed wheat brought from a distance
did not in any case prove as good as
the locally grown seed of the same va.
riety. Locally grown Turkish Red
yielded better than imported Crimean
for each of the three years tested.
Turkish Red seed brought from west
ern Kansas yielded nearly as we'll az
the Nebraska grown seed and was Of
better quality during the drier years,
but suffered more from scab or blight
in 1903 and 1904.
These results are considered a not.
able addition to the rapidly accumulat-
ing evidence that locally developed seed
Is the most reliable and that individual
farmers should give more attention to
the production Of their own seed. The
bringing of high priced high bred seed
from a distance, however valuable the
seed may be under the conditions Of
soil, climate, etc., under which it was
produced, quite often results in .disap-
pointment.

Butternut and Hard Tack.

One of the most troublesome plants
in the pastures Of eastern New York
and western Vermont and Connecticut
is the shrubbery cinquefoil, or Goshen
bareback (Potentilla fruiticosa). Pro
fessor Jones of the Vermont expert
ment station has been making observa-
lions regarding the effect of butternut
trees on the growth Of shrubby cinque-
foil or bareback. He has reached
the conclusion that in some way the
butternut is destructive to the growth
of the bareback near it and that the
area over which the bareback is de-
stroyed is greater than would be influ-
enced by the shade of the tree. He has
recommended the planting of the but
ternut in pastures as a means Of de-
stroying this pest.-Cor. Country Gen

FOR EARLY MATCHED CHICKS.

catching a bird in it without danger OF
some of the birds escaping. To obviate
this one of the Stats may be made to
slide.
The opening made by sliding this slat
Is sufficient to admit the hand and arm
SO that any part of the coop may be
reached without leaving an~avenue of
escape unguarded. For early Matched
chicks which come out when the at
mospheric temperature is so low as to
be injurious to them a combination Of
coop and glass covered run, as shown
in the cut, has been found very useful.

The Kid Speaks.

Ny fathers headpiece isn't cracked,
Though you might think it, for fact.
He talks the strangest sort of rot
And jabbers like an idiot;
I can't tell half the time what he
Is trying to convey to me.
But mother can and not half try
She's lived with him more years than /.
For instance, he says men for ''then,"
"And then he changes to ''an' en-
With list" for Just and "'at'' for
that
He keeps me guessing where he's at.
He twists and tortures every word
Or so. 1t seems to me absurd.
And mother says he won't ouJgrow II
Because by trade he is a poet
She says he fills the family purse
BY writing yards and yards Of verse
Like this: Las night list after tea
My pa he taxed me on his knee.
Men ma she laffed list fit to kill,
An en- she said to Uncle Bill.
Now, Wil-yum, don't you think that he
Is list as cute as he can be-?
An en- my uncle LATED 'Ha, hai
Hee, hee! Ho, no! list like his pa!"
They sound to me like awful drool,
These poems Of the IAN en- school.

A Joke In a Serious place.

Certainly no one would think of read
ing a dictionary for amusement On
pleasure-as the Irishman said, he
would lose the thread of the story IL
the great mass of detail. Nor would
one expect to find jokes In such book,
barring Mark Twain's about the car
buncle. But that learned and other
wise serious dictionary, the Century,
contains at least one laughable entry.
Under the word question is the fol-
lowing:
ITO pop the Question-see pop."-New
