Forestry Paid This Farmer.

An interesting object lesson in lum-
Der culture has just come to light in
Vermont A sixty-acre lot was sold
recently by Joel Perham, Of Wilton,
for $4,000. The encouraging point in
regard to this crop of lumber is that
it has all grown during the lifetime
of the owner. When a boy Mr.. Per
ham moved over the field on which
the timber was grown. He has seen
this crop gradually come. to salable
value without any labor on his part,
and in some way the woodlot seems
to have escaped the notice of the tax
assessors so that the neat sum which
he received is about all clear gain,
equal to the value of a good farm.

An interesting departure has been
made by the Great Northern Railroad
Company of England in conveying
milk, and the idea has been taken up
in Ireland to the extent Of urging the
railroad companies to use similar ap-
paratus. The milk cars are fitted with
a special adjustable ventilating appa-
ratus, and the oscillation which has
on number of occasions nearly
churned milk into butter during Il jour
ney has almost disappeared. Even at
a rapid speed on sharp curves there
is scarcely any oscillation. The vans
are forty-fve feet long and run on two
four-wheeled bogies. The absorbing Of
oscillation in milk cars seems to be
worthy of study on the part of Ameri-
can railways.

An object Lesson in Fat Cattle.

The grand champion steer of the IN
ternational live stock exposition of
1904, winner over all breeds and all
ages and classes, Clear Lake Jute H.,
an Aberdeen-Angus two-year-old, was
sold at public auction on Friday, Dec.
2, at $36 per hundredweight. The
price obtained for this steer was $40
per hundredweight higher than that
obtained for the grand champion steer
of the international live stock exposi-
ton in 1903. Jute's weight was 1870
pounds, and the price $36 per hundred
weight, figured up $673.20 for the
Minnesota Agricultural College of st.
Anthony Park, Mimi, the owner. This
steer was certainly model of its kind.
and great credit is due to all concerned
in the handling of it, especially to
those connected with the Minnesota
Agricultural College, which certainly
presented an object lesson in the han
ding of fat cattle.-St. Louis Globe

Many fruit trees have made too

there are many useless branches that
will be in the way of the best results
next year. No one who has even a

to prune trees, but it pays. 1t should
not be done radically, if one has not
had much experience, but little COM

to do the work right.

Is of more delicate flavor. The ORR
entail pears should be gathered before

two weeks or more to mellow up.

kinds.
