A hopeful sign as indicative Of an
increased interest In practical forestry
is to be found In the planting Of large
waste areas In the eastern states, par
ticularly Pennsylvania, to forest trees
chestnut, red oak, hickory, Eastwood,
white, red and Scotch pine and Euro
pean larch. These lands from which
the virgin forests have been cut, be
long largely to coal and railroad COM
panies and are, as rule, too billy for
the prosecution Of extensive agricul-
turai operations, but the scarcity Of
material for this has suggested the pos
sibility Of putting these heretofore
waste and yalueless lands to prac-
tical and definite use. One company,
desiring to take advantage Of the as
sistance offered by the forestry bu-
reau Of the department of agriculture,
has applied for an examination of
$4,000 acre tract with a view to ascer-
taining the best method Of carrying on
the work Of reforesting.

When the weeds are small and the

Intelligent management consists just
as much in stopping damage and pre-
venting waste and deterioration of
property as in those activities which
have for their aim the accumulation or
increase Of property or wealth. 1t is
for this reason that the painting of the
farm residence, outbuildings and ma
chinery is both justifable and in the
long run profitable

One who has given the method
thorough test states that fresh eggs
may be very effectually sealed so as to
keep from late summer to spring by
simply placing them in a wire basket
and submerging in a kettle of boiling
water for ten or fifteen seconds and
then quickly removing. This seems to
cook a very thin layer of albumen,
which Theoretically seals the egg and
insures its keeping properties.

COUNTY EXPERIMENT STATIONS.

COUNTY EXPERIMENT STATIONS
A departure that gives promise Of
adding greatly to the value and effec-
tiveness of the work now being done at
the state experiment stations and one
that has been much discussed of late
has in view carrying out Of the prac-
teal work done at the places mention
ed at the different county farms. In
stead of being compelled to study state
experiments at long range and having
to digest bulletins which are more or
less technical and whose data and find
ngs are to some extent invalidated
because Of a variation In latitude, eli
mate or soil condition, under the plan
proposed these experiments are to be
carried out under conditions that are
known and which exist in each locality.
The work to be done at the county sta
lions gives promise of being especially
valuable along the line of testing the
value Of different kinds Of corn, grain
and grasses that are at present grown,
and later the introduction Of new va
r4etles, the conducting of feeding ex-
periments and the putting to practical
test Of the many suggestions that grow
out Of the state work The line of ex-
pertinent proposed is to be carried on
under the direction Of the state author
tiles, who will receive the cooperation
Of the county board Of supervisors In
the writer's home county work Of this
kind is to be undertaken, the board
having set aside a certain sum for the
prosecution Of the work. This year the
seed corn that has been planted in the
county is to be given a thorough test
and an oracular demonstration given Of
the advantage and disadvantage Of
planting good and poor seed. The plan
outlined would seem to be one that had
In 1t the possibility Of almost limitless
extension and development and one
fraught with great results for the agri-
cultural interests OF the whole country.

your crazy road question, but
will say few words right now
about it. We don't need road

each six or nine sections is
about all we want now and will
likely need for sometime yet to
come. But what we do have
should be good ones and kept
so by being we'll worked. The
road law, as it is now, is unsatiS-
factory. but, much could be &C
complished under it provided it
was enforced as it should be.
That Illinois man who wants
road round each section of land
in the county should come down
and learn our ways before try
ing to teach us, When he does
come, if ever, he will likely stay
a few weeks and then sell out,
like some others from that same
country are now doing, and
return to Illinois. Their WAYS
don't suit our country.

Timely Thought.

In the excitement which must
necessarily attend the changing
hands of so much land, the farmers
should not overlook the fact that
the usual attention should be given
to general farming. The time of
year has arrived when the ground
needs to be ploughed and thorough
preparations made for planting In
addition to the wheat and oat crops
which have already been planted,
we should be glad to see many
more acres planted to oats, the
forage crops and cotton. With the
success which was achieved in the
production of cotton the past year,
we believe the crop should and will
be multiplied this year. Our lands
have the producing qualities, and
all that is needed is for them to be
cultivated by farmers who possess
farming qualities. With our pres
ent fine season, farming of all lines
should be extensively practiced this
year. Hereford Brand.
