Can You Tell Why:

The production Of lumber, lath,
and shingles in the United States in
1906 was the largest ever recorded.
"A census bulletin recently issued gives
81 " billion feet as the actual cut
of the $1,000 mills which made re
ports. This seven billion more than
the cut reported in 1905.
The above was taken from United
States reports and is authentic. Now
what we don't understand is why the
price Of lumber, lath, shingles, etc.,
has advanced to such top notch
prices.

BeeS I'm Fall.

Unite the weak and queenless colo
MES, and feed all that need it, before
the weather becomes too cold. Prof. ID.
Everett Lyon, in the Farm journal,
saws that as a rule colonies wintered
outdoors will not require more than
twenty-five pounds of stores If prop
erIy protected, while those wintered in
the cellar can get along with about half
as much. To ten pounds Of graduated
sugar add one gallon boiling water,
and you have an ideal feed; or else
with hot water thin some ripe extract
ed honey. When the food is taken up,
remove the feeder and fix the colony
for the winter In uniting weak colo
MES, always save the best queens. This
should be done after the fall flow of
honey. Make the union late in the
evening smoke the colonies to be unit
ed. Select the best combs and alter
nate them In the hive.

Camera Helms Save the Eye.

DR.. Walther Thorner, assistant at the
clinic of eye diseases at the Royal
Charity Hospital at Berlin, has recent
ly made a discovery Of great import
ance In the domain of ocular science,
in solving a problem that several prac-
tftfoners had hitherto studied, but with
Indifferent results. He has succeeded in
photographing the back Of the eye and
in obtaining good Photographic repro
auctions. So writes J. 3. Van Brussel
in the Technical World Magazine.
His invention is large improve
ment upon the Helmholtz eye specu-
lum, which permits only of examining
the back of the eye, while how an
image Of it can be fixed. Owing to
this invention the delicate art Of the
oculist is destined to enter new
phase which will doubtless be the
starting point of interesting discover
les In the domain of ocular science.
The failure Of all attempts made up
to the present to photograph the in
terror. and the back Of the eye has
been due to the peculiar structure Of
this organ. It is difficult, in fact, tn
illuminate the eye sufficiently to OBJ
tain photograph of 1t; and even upon
employing a powerful source Of light.
The exposure of the organ would take
too long and would occasion unendur-
able pain to the patient.

Christianity and National Life

In contribution to the Contemporary
Review of London. Sir w. NJ. Ramsay
makes the contention that a nation cannot
live without some real and profound hold
on the supernatural, illustrating his ar
gument by reference to the Pauline the
ology and the Roman Empire. He reasons
that. while the Christianity of Paul was
crushed for the time being by the de-
crees of the Roman enperors, this policy
of repression and massacre proved the
destruction of the empire, while the re-
ligious principles which had been so Bit
terly antagonized became important fac
tors in the political life as soon as free
dom of thought and action began to

The strawberry Bed.

It viii be time well spent to stop
other WORK long enough to clean out the
strawberry bed Weeds keep up a
strong fight for existence and it is re-
markable with what persistence they
struggle for a foothold late in the fall.
and unless destroyed they will be there
in early spring to pre-empt and occupy
the soil. The vines should be so spread
that they form a perfect matted row
with path from - to Is inches wide
on each side IF the rows have become
too close, part of the plants should be
cut out. This Is best done now It Is
better to cultivate the soil so frequent
" that the space between the rows will
never be covered with runners. The
soil should be loose and mellow between
the rows. Upon the same principle that
road freezes harder than a plowed
field, berry patch that is packed hard
will freeze much harder than one which
is kept mellow. A mulch of some kind
is Of great Importance for protection.
It should be put on after the ground Is
frozen, and left until after the danger
Of hard freezing in the spring This
will keep the plants from "heaving,"
which is the result of alternate freez-
ing and thawing, and the blossoms are
held back long enough In the spring to
escape the usual frosts. Marsh grass
is the best kind of mulching as It lies
closer than grain straw, but rye, wheat,
oats or barley straw are suitable.
Shayings or sawdust has also been
used, and so have cornstalks and forest
leaves. There is an objection by some
growers to the use Of buckwheat straw.
as 1t is believed that in some way it
poisons the plants, but this no doubt Is
only imaginary. In localities where
Southern pine Is abundant, the needles
are spread on strawberries, and are
highly recommended for the purpose.
If a fertilizer is desired, horse manure
having a good supply Of litter, is ex-

SHIPS OUTGROWING DOCKS.
Increasing Size of All Warships
Presents q Problem.

| lhcEeS1sIhS size OI AL
| Presents Problem.
One Of the pressing problems of the
near future for all the great naval pow
! ers is the provision Of docks adequate
for the large ships which are now be-
ing constructed.
The tendency to build larger vessels
Is seen not only in battle ships and ar
mOred cruisers, says Casters Maya
! zine. but also in the smaller vessels spe-
cially designed for torpedo warfare.
| The earliest British submarine was a
small vessel displacing 100 tons. The
latest development of the type displaces
upward of 300 tons.
Again, the latest torpedo boats are
larger than the torpedo boat destroyers
of decade or SO ago, and the most
recent destroyers now approximate in
displacement to third-class cruisers.
For the present the British fleet Is
fairly well provided with large docks.
Owing to the recent completion Of the
dockyard extension scheme at Devon
port, at a cost of about 100000 sler-
ling, there are now i'll the British en-
pire thirteen government docks and six
colonial and private docks which can
take the Dreadnought, and there are
i've other government and two private
docks in the United Kingdom as well
as two colonial docks which can accom-
modate the Lord Nelson battle ships,
which are eighty feet shorter and two

Dreadnought.
The idea is that the British authOri-
ties will initiate the forward policy
initiated with 50 much success by the
American navy department in the case
of the Dewey and will construct sew
eral large floating docks which can be
moved from point to point in accord
.lnce with the strategical necessities of
the moment. The same problem OF
docking accommodation for these huge
ships will have to be solved by all the.
great naval powers, and where sutti-
GENTLY sheltered waterways can be Sc
cured many arguments can be advanced
III support Of the policy of movable.
docks apart from considerations Of
economy.
This tendency on the part of the
British authorities has already found
expression in the construction OF
large number of mobile repair ships
for the torpedo iotillas and in the pro-
vision of a floating dock for subma-
rineS
Another step in the direction of in
creased mobility has been taken. There
is now nearing completion a remark
able ship called the Cyclops, which
may be styled a seagoing dockyard.
This vessel has displacement of H.
300 tons at a load draft of twenty-one
feet. She is 400 feet long, with draft
of 30 feet, and her machinery is ex-
pected to give a speed of twelve knots.
For armament the Cyclops will carry
only ten 3-pounder quick-tiring guns as,
a means of defense against attack by
torpedo craft.
The interior of the ship resembles q
concentrated dockyard. The Cyclops is
being equipped with carpenter, black
smith and armorer shops and large
foundry where new castings can be
made. The vessel is also provided
with equipment for dealing with cleo
trical work and has coppersmiths
workshop, and she is being fitted with
a travelling crane She is expected to
prove an invaluable fleet auxiliary.

Frozen MIX.

I'm Sweden and Denmark has been
created a new industry that deserv IS
notice. 1t consists in collecting a q
central station the milk from farms
within given radius, pasteurizing 1t at
about rs degrees centigrade, and then
freezing it at temperature Of minus
10 degrees. The blocks of frozen milk
are placed in stout wooden casks hold
ing about double the volume Of the
blocks and the extra space Is filed
with sterilized milk, after which the
casks are sealed Theoretically.
AS they are perfectly full and are
kept cool by the block of frozen milk,
which melts very slowly, and as shocks
of transportation are powerless to
churn the milk into butter, it may thus
be preserved at least twenty days, so
that the Danes and Swedes are now
sending successfully to their neighbors
and even further whole cargoes of
milk.

Cnrn Selection.

A steady increase in the number OF
ears per plant borne by Potter's Excel
sior sweet corn has resulted from Sc
lecting seed with that end in view
In 1901, the fourth year Of the ex-
periment. but the first one in which
sufficiently detailed records were kept
TO show the percentages only 80 per cent
of the plants bore more than one ear
In 1905 90 per cent bore more than one
ear, the highest number from a single
plant being thirteen.
Selecting seed from the lower ear
produced on the stalk did not give as
good results as selection from the up
ner ear. which Is doubtless due to the
fact that such lower ears are often
poorly developed = Rhode Island Elk
