/ STUDYING WooDLoTs.
What Ohio Experiment Station 10 Do
s.. g. : ing to- Promote Forestry.

The Ohio station is planning some
important work relative to the wood
lots Of the state In a recent COM
munication Prof. Thome. says:
'sThe farm Woodlot is an important
factor in timber production in Ohio.
Are these woodlots held at profit or
loss? Undoubtedly there are some
second growth timber tracts where the
stand of trees of the best kinds is
good enough SO that the annual in
crease in yielding profitable returns.
There are many other 'woodlots where
the stand is poor or the trees are
OF inferior species which are not pay
ing fair rate of interest It is i'm
portant that everyone who is Inter.
ested in forestry should know to
which class his woodlot belongs
Measurements and calculations will
disclose at what rate a tract of TIM
Der is growing into money, and a
careful study of the conditions will
show it should be managed so as to
make it more profitable. The inves-
LEGATIONS referred to have in view
the determination of the kinds of
trees, or mixture of trees, which are
yielding the greatest profits, as they
are found growing in natural second
growth forests. The station has al
ready found that planted groves of
catalra and locust may give returns
exceeding ten dollars per acre an
nually. While the natural forests
may fall short of this, it will doubt
less prove true that they are growing
into value much faster than is COM
monty supposed. How to make them
still more profitable, especially those
which are in bad condition, is a prob
lem which the station is willing to
try to help the owners to solve, but
at the outset it should be understood
that numerous factors enter in which
may make experimentation necessary.
The station is ready to determine the
prospective increase in value of tracts
of timber, but it may not be able,
in all cases, to unreservedly recon-
mended course of treatment which
will insure satisfactory results with
neglected woodlots. So far as means
will permit, it is willing to cooperate
in such work, especially in represent
ative cases. The owner is to provide
land and labor, while the station will
furnish plans, and, il some cases,
trees, in order to put into operation
and test certain methods which prom
ise good results

After trying several methods of

best in the ground where it is grown,
with the roots undisturbed, says an
other grower. Celery will keep in a
cellar or cave all winter, if the roots
are placed in moist sand or earth,
but the plant gradually loses it's fine,
nutty flavor.
Wide boards are set on edge around
the celery bed, leaving about one foot
of space between the outer rows and
the boards. This space, and between
the rows, is then packed with dry
forest leaves and enough piled on
top to make the covering about one
foot deep. The leaves are weight
ed down with light boards, to keep
them from blowing off, At night, dur
ing severe weather, an extra cover

on. On warm days, the covering may
be removed until the tips of the Gel
cry leaves are visible, but this is
not essential
To protect banked celery, put a
thick layer of leaves over the top of
the ridges, and weight down with
boards. Manure from the horse
stable will keep the ridges, but this
is not needed if enough leaves are
used.

about one peck to the acre.

in Orange Judd Farmer. If sown later
than July there is danger Of a frost
catching it. If it is sown much earlier
than, June 20 the hot weather is like
" to cause light yield. The crop
may be cut by hand, using cradle,
or with the ordinary reaper. Each
bundle should stand by itself, with a
band around the top. These should
be left in the field until the straw and
grain are dry. After that the crop can
be stacked and threshed as any other

CORN CUTTING TO SAVE TIME.
Method Of Handling a Sixty.Four

A farmer of Bond county, ILL.,, sug-

over which the shock is to be built
These are to be bent together if de-

the shock is ready the cutter goes

Finally the yacht got under way
again, and the devil fish, with a few
lazy waves of it's giant tentacles,
dropped In behind and followed the
boat for fully halfa mile. Thenit disap-

A few weeks ago w. c. c. Claiborne
and several other fishermen returned
with story about three devil fish
seen at the island, but their story
was taken with a large grain of salt.
Claiborne has reputation for story
telling, but his tale is followed up
now by this experience, and the
sportsmen are wondering if big
