New ENGLAND White Pine

White pine is, easily the leading
packing box material of New England
and 344 box factories were reputed in
the six New England states in 1905.
OF a total consumption of 600, 493, GOD
board feet white pine furnished SIS
per cent, or more than four times as
much as all other kinds combined. For
the boxmakers it is an ideal wood. and
the manufacturers would be hard
pressed to find a suitable substitute.
Practically all of the wood used H.
the manufacture Of such boxes is OBJ
tanned locally, and Of late years a
shortage Of lumber suitable for the
purpose has confronted the New Eng
land box manufacturers, as they de-
pend for their supply of lumber main
ly upon farmers wood lots. Forestry
authorities assert that the land now
producing pine a be made to produce
more and that land which nov bears
q growth Of inferior trees can be made
70 produce pine.

"Ginser" Of West Point.

The man who graduated at the foot
Of the class that year Q860) had been
six years at the Point and had just
squeezed through at last-Harold s.
Borland, commonly known as Ginger
on account of his hair being the exact
color Of ground ginger. Borland had
distinguished himself while reciting to
Captain Benton in ordnance by a re-
markable answer to the question, "Mr.
Borland, how many pieces will a
twelve inch shell burst intoY' the av-
erage number having been determined
well by experiment. Ginger threw his
eyes, inexpensive, but. very blue, on
the floor and deliberated awhile. Then
slowly lifting them to a point near the
ceiling over Captain Benton's head,
still deeply rejecting, he finally re-
sponded, mot less than two."-Gen-

Distinction of Stables.

In discussing the Importance of the
disinfection of stables and the danger
of neglecting it Dr.. Haring Of Califor-
mia points out that negligence in prop
erly %disinfecting stalls and stables
where animals affected with conta-
gious diseases have been is frequently
the cause of a temperance of the dis
ease" The germs of glanders, for ex-
ample, may remain alive in stables for
several months after the diseased ami
mails have been removed, and if thor
ough disinfection is not %resorted to all
animals housed in the stable are sub
ject to infection from this source.
Many failures to eradicate tuberculo-
sis from dairy herds by the repeated
application of the tuberculosis test and
the prompt removal of all reacting ami
mails are due to the fact that the sta
bles were not ~disinfected." Tubercu-
losis spreads rapidly among cattle
closely herded together. To prevent
this stables should be thoroughly disin-
fected at least once a year.

LARGEST Crab.

In the American Museum of Natural
History in New York is a wonder of
marine life. 1t is a gigantic japanese
crab. measuring twelve feet across,
making it the largest in the world.
The specimen is a type of the spider
crab, which inhabits the waters of the
group of islands forming the empire Of
Japan. The body portion Of the crab is
the size Of a half bushel measure,
while its great arms could easily en-
circle the figure of a a Its legs re-
semble poles and are extremely elastic,
and if strung into n line they would
reach to the top Of a four story apart.

OLD ORCHARDS.
TiIIaee, Pruning and Spraying Often
Start Strong Growth.

Altogether the most profitable or
chards are those set in recent times
or at least put out in the modern meth
Cd. They are composed of strong,
healthy. vigorous trees which practi-
cally cover the ground and among
| which there are no blanks. On many
farms. however, there are smaller or
larger tracts Of. old orchard. many of
which are worthless and many more Of
which are not distinctly profitable.
Process of Rejuvenation.
Some of these old orchards could be
%rejuvenated. They could be brought
into reasonably good bearing and to a
point where they would really pay a
profit. Now, the regeneration Of all
old orchard is a fairly simple matter,
providing it is properly understood.
The important point is that it does not
consist in the application Of any single
patent remedy. Spraying will not do
the work. Pruning will not cure all
the troubles. Tillage alone will be
worth very little. The only way to get
the desired result is to apply proper
methods all along the line. The soil
should be loosened up and proper drain
age provided. The trunks should be
scraped clean and spread with copper
sulphate or bordeaux mixture. Old
dead limbs should be cut out. A rea-
sonable but not excessive pruning
should be given. Thorough spraying
should be undertaken.
unnrofi+ahIe Nariefiee
In cas- the trees are Of mixed or un-
profitable varieties they should be re-
grated to standard sorts. 1t is not
likely that additional plant food will
be required at first, except on soils
very much depleted. An orchard taken
vigorously in hand in the matter of
tillage, pruning and spraying is apt to
start into a strong growth at once, and
if a good deal of raw fertilizer is ap-
piled there may easily be more growth
than is desirable. However, one must
keep his eyes open, and in case the
trees show the want of more food it
should be given. 1t is really a com-
p%aratively easy matter if all these
things are Systematically attended to
to bring an old orchard round, accord
ing to Country Gentleman. 1t requires
from two to five years to do it, depend
ing on the condition of things when
the matter is taken in hand.

A WHEELED GRADER.

The blade is raised or lowered by
of a hand wheel, and when a
load has been collected by cutting off
the knobs the machine is locked by
the foot of the teamster and driven
to the nearest low place, where it may
be dumped i'll Il heap or scattered out
in q thin layer. 1t takes two horses to
pull it in loose. granular soil, but three
and occasionally four may be required
In firm hard soil. The cost is about
$40.

One Of the implements in use in pre-
pairing land for irrigation is the grader
shown in the sketch. The land is first
plowed and then we'll graded. The
grader consists of an oak frame at
tached to othree low metal wheels and
two steel shod wooden runners. The
cutting blade is five and a half feet
long, twenty inches wide and curved.

GREAT PIANO SALE!
AS we are forced to yacate our present

AS we are forced to vacate our present
building by Nov. 1st., and do not yet know
in what building we can move, we will make
such sacrifice on the price of half a dozen of
our Pianos that we will close them out
quickly, long before Nov. 1st. We do not
auction them off at cost, neither do we
slaughter them below cost, but if anyone
can tell US of any special slaughter sale,
whether in Chicago or New York, where
Pianos of same grade were sold cheaper, all
you nave to do is to lay the proofs before
us and the piano will be yours. We do not
put up a fancy price of 500 or 5000 more
than they are worth and then take off a
hundred or two. None such cheap schemes.
However, if you nave ever thought of
buying you a piano within the next 2 years,
now is your chance to save at least one-third
on the price of one. Judge for yourself
whether we state cold facts.

DOGS IN BAGDAD.
Why They Do Not Loot tho Food
Bazasrs of the Town.


Bazasrs Of the Town.
Bagdad Is alive with more or less
hungry dogs How is 1t that such
packs Of furies do not loot the bazaars
Of the town. The explanation Is as
simple. as II is interesting. The Bag
Dad shop fronts are absolutely open.
The goat and mutton carcasses are
hung whore every dog that runs can
reach them. But time out Of mind
the first glance Of a dogs eye toward
forbidden dalnties has been visited
with the swift descent on him Of
eudgel or hatchet.
On one Of a series OF marches paral-
lei with the Euphrates l chanced to
meet s~3esert horde whose greyhounds
ave- m high pepute Buying a brace
ek sapIiags. took them on with me,
lodging them In the tent and doing
everything that was possible to make
them feel at home.
Surprising to relate, they obstinately
refused both food and water The re-
mains Of venison pasty seemed at
once to attract and repel them. A pan
Of water appealed to them even more
strongly, but they would not 60 up
to II.
After time a Persian muleteer ex-
planned the mystery In a twinkling.
No sooner did he upset the water and
toss the viands on the ground before
them than the silky cared ones ran In
like Trojans and made up In a few
moments for q days fasting
Accustomed to lap from the river,
from irrigational channels and from
sheets OF surface water and reared
among people who do not use tables,
they had been taught by many buffet
to keep their noses out OF cooking pots
and vessels of every description.
In Bagiad man and beast alike drink
Of the great river, which also forms
the arterial common sewer Of the city,
the place where clothes are washed
and the "Styglan wave" into which is
dragged every beast Of burden when
Il Is not left t. lie where II has fallen.
The muddy bottom, with the water
ever receding. the exposed surfaces
thick with Impurities and the tropical
sun sucking up all the Infections"
must be n regular hotbed Of miasma
and pestilepce.
And yet, mirabile dictu. Bagdad is
not as eastern cities go, unhealthy.
But let the reader imagine to himself
what the Bagdad Of the foregoing
slight description would be like with
out the dogs that scavenge II. Refuse

The geological survey statistics
show total production of iron ore
In the United States In 1906 of AZ, 749,-
T2S gross tons, this representing gain
OF 1913 per cent over the production In
1905, which was 1896, 1873 tons. The
total value at mines Of the 1906 pro
ductlon Is given at $l00,597, log, an
average per ton of S2.11 against SLIT
In 1905, $1.56 In 1904 and $50 in 1908.
AS n rule, the large producing states
showed n great increase In 1906 over
1905, Minnesota, Michigan and Ala
bama increased their output, while
New York and Colorado decreased.
In the proportion of iron ore pro-
duction TO production OF pig iron In
1906 there Is no evidence of any ma
terlal decrease In the average iron con-
tent OF the ores mined as compared
with Immediately preceding years,
SAYS the Iron Trade Review. Dividing
the iron ore production I'm 1906 by the
pig Iron production gives quotient
~ I .SS1. approximately the number OF
tons of iron ore per ton OF pig iron.
The quoticnt In 1905 was 1850 while,
taking the production In the five years,
10000 inclusive. the quotient comes
out SS6. substantially the same rs
that for 1906 In 1890 Il was 1.7i2.
and in 1895 II was l.6S0, There was a
decrease as In 1895 The richer Lake
Superior ores were making their way
to the relative exclusion Of lower grade
ores i'm various parts Of the country.
The increase In ore per ton of pig iron
from 1895 TO the years of the present
century shows the Increase I'm the
mining Of Lake Superior ores In the
direction OF lower grade ores. Much
has been said lately about the dc
crvusing content Of Lake Superior ores
and II is Interesting TO note that sta'
tistcs for as late year as 1000 do not
tell any story upon this subject
