The Forest Giant,

The Gladwin Record gives splen-
did view of what it regards as prob
ably the last big log rollway on
Cedar River. The long stretch of
logs and handsome river scene make
q magnificent spectacle, yet it can
not be contemplated without feel
ing Of sadness in the breast of every
old lumberman who will behold in it
the passing Of what once seemed a
serried and uncomfortable army of
forest giants, capable of holding out,
with petty losses, for all time,
against civilization and the lumber
barons. A scene in camp, with old
Angus Macdonald and his husky OK
team at the front, affords an inter-
esting study. Grizzled Mack, now
verging on seventy, but still as hale
and hardy as an old buck, has spent
ffty-two winters in the lumber
woods, and it would not be strange
If with his love for the forest 1t will
be his dying request to be allowed to
stand in the range of the last lumber
monarch to be felled on the Cedar
River, and in its crash meet a glor-
ious death beneath its sturdy trunk;
for what would there be left for rug
ged "Old Mack" worth while living
for?-Detroit News.

Cultivating the Plum Orchard.

There Is even more necessity for
regular and clean cultivation with
the plum than with the peach, mas
much as 1t requires a more plenti-
full supply of water. Moisture can
only be retained by cultivation, shall
low but thorough, after every COM
pacing rain, thereby pulverizing the
crust and forming a soil mulch to
shut of capillarity and so retain
the water already chambered in the
subsoil from the winter rains. To
insure such a reservoir of moisture
the orchard should be plowed in
both directions with either cultiva-
tor or disk harrow as early in win
ter as possible. Even during win
ter 1t will pay once or twice to break
the compact crust that forms after
heavy rains with an acme harrow
or similar instrument, though this
Is quite generally neglected by COM
mercial growers to their loss.
Crops of grass and weeds should
never be allowed to develop in the
orchard. as they not only rob the
trees OF water, but of plant food
without corresponding return. Low,
cultivated crops, like cotton, while
Of course distinctly injurious to the
trees, are less Objectionable, since
to a certain extent they pay for board
and lodging. Cowpeas in rows oc-
cupying the middle between the trees
are rather more of a benefit than a
detriment, for although they trench
on the water supply, they return an
equivalent in the nitrogen they trans
fer to the soil. Small grain, how
ever, Is ruinous. Cultivation should
cease before the maturity of the
crop and not be resumed until the
trees have become dormant in the
fall. This will permit the wood to
ripen up well, which constant dis
ruption of the root system by the
cultivator would prevent-Prof. H.
N. Starnes.

Jumped OF His Death.

Wilmington, Special.-Wednesday
night while attempting to jump from
train on the Atlantic Coast Line
near his home on Tenth street, Alex
Miller, a young white man, about Is
years of age was thrown underneath
the moving train and his body was
horribly mangled. There were three
or four large excursions in the city
Wednesday and it is a custom of a
number of young men to go down to
the station to see them off and il is
presumed that young Miller stayed
on ane of the excursion trains think
ing that he would leap off when it
reached Tenth street crossing. II
is not known whether he struck an
obstruction when he leaped which
threw him uder the ears, or whether
his feet were caught in some way and
he was thus caught in the wheels.

Visiting NeighbOrs' Farms.

Every farmer should get out occa-
sionally and visit his neighbors'
farms. Every other business man
makes 1t point to know the men
who are engaged in his line of work,
and he profits by the acquaintance.
The farmer who stays at home all
the time is inclined to get the idea
that the sun rises and sets for the
particular benefit of his individual
patch Of earth, which means that he
Is in fair way to go to seed. OF
course when man visits another
mans farm, he will not brag, criticise
or gossip. If he goes in a friendly
give-and-take spirit, he will general
ly find his neighbors quite ready to
explain how he grows more corn to
the acre than does the man on the
next quarter, or to show why his
poultry or his dairy bring him a prof
it, whereas they are only q drain on
the resources of too many of his fell
1ow-farmers. 1t is not safe to jump
at the conclusion that because a man
grows more corn to the acre than you
grow his soil is any better than
yours. In nine cases out of ten he
raises more because he uses better
seed, or because he has learned bet
ter methods of cultivation.-Farm
