The Forest Giant.

The Gladwin Record gives a 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
a 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 unconquerable 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 male
and hardy as an old buck, has spent
fifty-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 glor-
ious death beneath its sturdy trunks
for what would there be left for rug
ged "Old Mack" worth while living
for?-Detroit News.

Curious Habits of Foxes.

The animals on which the fox
usually preys are often left un-
touched round his home; and it is
even asserted that nothing is killed
on the side of the hill in which that
home is made.
In a small patch Of nettles within
a few feet of the mouth Of the foxes
earth a partridge placed her nest and
brought off her brood. Round this
nettle bed the cubs were constantly
to be seen, and in it they played
hide and seek. In another case the
entrance to an earth was surrounded
by five or six rabbit holes the tenants
Of which were unmolested by their
next door neighbors.
In a third a litter Of cubs was
placed in a large pit surrounded by
fencing, from which there WAS no es-
cape and in which there were a num-
Der OF rabbits. None of these was
attacked by the cubs, though they
would 5eize dead rabbit in full OF
sight Of the person who had shot
and thrown it to them.-NatiVe

Apropos Of the massive chain ca

Shipping Illustrated gives some in
teresting facts.
In the illustration is shown three
of the links of a huge cable made in
Wales for the Cunard Steamship
Company.
The iroa is '3A in. diameter at the
smallest part of the link. Each LINK
measures about 22A In. in length,

Gently the Cunard Company gave no
tice that they required some links to
be tested to destruction, and three
links were cut off the cable as made
and sent to Lloyd's Proving House at
Netherton.
The sar lie was first tested to the
British Admiralty proof strain OF
1898 tons, at which strain each link
elongated not quite one-Quarter OF
an inch. L o statutory breaking
strain Of 265., tons was next applied,
and the links were further elongated

Don't Prune!

Most amateurs worry themselves
over, what they consider the intricate
problem of pruning. My advice is
simply this: Don't prune! Avoid
the annual trimming that ruins so
many Of our gardens. There are
more shrubs ruined by the pruning
mania than by any other one cause
and the worst part Of it all is that
the damage is suffered by just those
people who would appreciate having
a few good shrubs. After the thin
ming out of surplus specimens the
only attention that the shrubbery
needs is a thinning out Of the old
growth to make room for the new
seasons wood and Of course the re-
moval of any dead or dying branches.
Remember that shrubs do not need
the attention Of the pruner to make
them grow; pruning is only meant
to make the garden look neater. And
remember this golden rule: "Prune
after towering" This means that
late Towering shrub like the hydran-
gea can be pruned in the spring be-
cause the flowers are produced on the
growths that it will make in the sum-
mer, but it is just rs satisfactory to
prune it in the winter time. The
early Towering shrubs that flower on
the growths of the previous season
may be pruned in the spring, but not
until after they have done Towering.
Therefore, spireas, lilacs, deutzias,
golden bells, and such like must not
be cut back If you want to have flow
ers the. same season. They will In
all probability require some reduc-
tion Of the top, but it must be done
by reducing the number OF the
growths, rather than by shortening.

Beginners and Varieties.

The beginner in Strawberries
Bhould consult with some experienced
grower before selecting the variety,
as the kinds used in some sections
and on certain soils may not be suit
able elsewhere. Some varieties will
thrive on heavy soils better than on
light soil, while others give the best
results on sandy soils. Some kinds
are very large, but not good in quail
ty. Never sacrifice flavor for size,
as flavor is everything in a straw
berry. Many growers prefer the va
rieties that stand shipment to mar
ket; hence, for a family supply, the
aim should be to select variety suit
able for the soil, and of excellent
quality, in preference to size and
firmness. Do not overlook the fact
that some varieties are both stamin-
ate and pistillate, while others are
pistallate only. Should the variety
selected be pistillate, every fourth
row should be of some variety that is
both staminate and pistillate, and
which blossoms at the same time as
the other, in order that fertilization
may result, for if not there will be no
fruit. There is no variety which can
be said to be the best, as all varie-
ties will excel in some respect and be
lacking in other qualities. The prop
er method is to procure a variety
best adapted to the soil and give
good cultivation, with an abundance
of plant food, and satisfactory re-
suits will usually follow. "Potted"
plants are the runners taken from
old strawberry plants that have root
ed in small pots sunk In the ground,
in convenient places for the purpose.
These small pots are soon filled with
roots, the plants and balls, OF earth
being easily turned out without dis
turbance, and when transplanted
continue to grow, almost a full crop
of fruit next year being the result.
"Potted" plants are largely In de-

Agriculture in Rural Schools.

State Superintendent of Public In
struction, F. A. Cotton, is enthusias-
tic in his efforts to establish a theo-
retical as well as a practical course
in agriculture in our rural schools.
In bulletin just out he outlines the
plans for beginning this undertaking.
The publication is issued in refer
ence to the work to be taken up this
spring.
In substance, his scheme is this:
In the first three years the pupils
will be led gradually to understand
and appreciate the value of birds,
flowers, plants and animals, through
the medium of conversation and
written language lessons. The work
in the fourth and fifth grades will be
a combination of geography and out
door study, with the purpose of
quickening the observative powers of
the pupils. In the sixth year, the
Importance of the farmer in the
worlds economy is dwelt upon. The
closer study of seeds and plants, such
as farmers grow, will be taken up;
also inquiry into the relation of the
plants to the soil, and the work of
insects and wind in pollination, etc.,
will occupy an important part Of the
time. Experimental work will be in
troduced as far as possible. In the
seventh and eighth grades work like
that of grating, tree pruning and
planting will be in order. A more
advanced study of farm crops will
here be taken up, and the boys be in
duced to try cultivation experiments
and report results the next year.
The work designed for the township
high school will be farther advanced,
of course, than that in the preceding
grades. t-r

An Old Painters Ideas.

The Autumn season is coming
more and more to be recognised as
most suitable time for house-paint-
ing.
There is no frost deep in the wood
to make trouble for even the best job
Of painting, and the general season.,
ing of the Summer has put the wood
into good condition in every way.
The weather, moreover, is more like
ly to be settled for the necessary
length of time to allow all the coats
to thoroughly dry-a very important
precaution.
An old and successful painter ,aid
to the writer the other day:
House owners would get more
for their money II they would allow
their painters to take more time. es-
pecially between coats. Instead OF
allowing barely time for the surface
to get dry enough not to be 'tacky.
several days (weeks would not be
too much) should be allowed 80 that
the coat might set through and
through. 1t is inconvenient, OF
course, but, if one would suffer this.
slight Inconvenience, it would add
two or three years to the life Of the
paint.
Cali this is assuming, of course.
that the paint used Is the very best
to be had-the' purest Of white lead
and the purest of linseed oil, un-
mixed with any cheapener. Il the
cheap mixtures, often known as
White Lead and oil which has been
doctored with fish OH benzine, corn-
oil, or other of the adulterants.
known to the trade, are used, all the
precautions Of the skilled painter are
useless to prevent the cracking and
peeling which make houses unstghtly
in a year or so and, therefore, make
painting bills too frequent and costly.
"The house owner should have his
painter bring the ingredients to the
premises separately-white lead OF
some well-known, reliable brand and
linseed oil Of equal quality - and
mix the paint just before applying
it." -,
Painting need not be expensive and
unsatisfactory II the old painters
suggestions are followed.

Remarkable But True Statement.

. Hon. Francis S. Hesseltine, of our
Boston Bar, sends to Our Dumb AMI
mails the following, written to him
by DR.. J. Langdon Sullivan, promi-
nent physician:
''The facts you ask for are as fol-
lows: Twenty years ago gentleman
brought to my Office a large, very
handsome intelligent spaniel dog
whose right foreleg was badly
broken, the bone being grown out of
place. On the masters assurance
that the dog would not bite me I set
the leg. Drawing the bony frag-
ments into place caused severe un-
avoidable pain. The animal whim-
pered, but displayed no anger, and
allowed the dressing to remain un-
disturbed until I removed it when
firm union had resulted. I saw no
more of my canine patient nor Of his
owner for two years. Then (again
on a summers morning) I heard
loud scratching at my Office door.
I opened it and there stood my old
Spaniel friend, wagging his tall. Be-
side him stood a. fine black-and-tan
with a round French nail driven
clear through his right paw. patted
the spaniel, called both dogs in, re-
moved the nail and sent both away
happy, trotting side by side as If
nothing had happened. I have never
seen anything of either SINCE"

SEEDLESS ORANGES
Are Responsible For Millions Of Cali
fOrnia's Wealth.

The introduction of the seedless
navel orange has revolutionized the
orange industry of the United States.
1t has drawn $4,000 men from other
pursuits and transformed vast areas
of sunbaked land in California into
orange groves.
1t has been the prime factor in
the growth of dozen towns Of 5000
and 10000 persons in southern
California and has added directly
more than $43,000,0O0, and in
directly s60,000,0O0 more to the tax
able wealth of the State.
The first seedless orange trees
were apparently freaks of nature
and their counterparts have never
been found. Early in the '70's Will
liam Judson, United States consul
to Bahia, Brazil, heard an account
from natives of a few trees in the
swamps on the banks of the Amazon,
some sixty miles away. He sent a
native up the river to get some OF
llG llulI duu W ia Ills ulA1 oOIAS VI
the shoots of the tree.
When the native returned the con-
sui was delighted with the speci-
mems and sent six of the shoots,
carefully packed in moss and clay,
to the Department of Agriculture at
Washington. The trees did not ez-
cite much interest at the depart
ment. Two which were planted in
the department grounds died for
lack of care and others were for
gotten for months.
The crop of the first years netted
sixteen seedless oranges, and those
were exhibited all over California.
There were about q box of oranges
in the second yield and they were
even better than the first crop. The
planting of groves of seedless
oranges propagated from the buds
from the two original trees began
in earnest in 1882. The following
year the demand for buds from the
Tibbet trees were so large that a.
dozen buds sold frequently for IS,
and some growers paid even as high
e.s 81 apiece for them.

Ladders are such common, ordin-

one. there being no secret in their
makeup. The disadvantage of the
ordinary ladder is that it cannot be
used in narrow and crowded places.
