Not How Cheap,
But How Good

That's our motto: We've a
well-earned reputation for the
quality OF our work and we are
not going to impair it by doing
any kind of work but the best
that can be done. For that class
of work we have everything up
to.date to do it with, including a
large steamer to steam off wall
paper, which is much better than
the old way of soaking the paper
off by hand, as it takes less time,
besides the live steam kills all In
sects, Reaches, Bed Bugs, and
germs. Our prices are right.

TO COLLECT SEEDS OF TREES
ARRANGEMENTS MADE BY THE
FOREST SERVICE.
Plans for Renewing Timber on Vast
Tracts Of Denuded
Lands

The forest service has made arrangements
to collect 5O.OOO.O0O seeds Of forest trees
during September and October. The COL
lections will be made in Montana, Wyom-
Ing, Colorado, Arizona and California from
Douglas fir, Engelmann spruce, western
larch, incense cedar and yellow pine trees.
The seeds will be used for broadcast SOW
ing and for planting in forest service
nurseries. The broadcast sowing will be
experimental, to test the extent to which
this method of renewing the forests on de-
nuded lands in the west can be used Many
large tracts have been rendered treeless by
repeated fires. and only by planting or SOW
ing can timber be got to grow there again
for long time to come.
The gathering Of tree seeds Is an inter-
esting process. One method is to rob
squirrels nests. The little animal is made
to work for man. In the west. where hick-
DRY nuts. chestnuts and beech nuts are very
scarce or wholly lacking. the squirrel gives
his attention to pine cones. He stores
them by the bushel behind old logs or In the
hollow bases Of trees. to wait for them to
open and release the seeds. He collects
good qualities, for he climbs to the tops
Of the tallest trees and to the tips of the
longest limbs and cuts down the choice
cones. The seed gatherer searches out and
robs the squirrels hoard.
Inc government mas nine planting Sta-
tons. These are at HalSey, Neb. Fort
Bayard Las Vegas and Fort Stanton, N.
NJ; Pixies Peak national forest, Col; the
Wasatch national forest, Utah; Pocatello,
Idaho and Pasadena and San Marcos
California.
If all would grow. a ton of almost any
kind of tree seed would produce forest of
very large area; but no one expects all
the seeds to grow. When the tree plants
them in the natural way very many perish
where one survives. John Muir has esti-
mated for certain trees 10000 seeds perish
for every one that lives. The ratio of the
survivors will be much higher, doubt
when man plants and cares for the seeds.
