THE VALUE OF WOODLOTS.

Occupying, as it usually does, the
rocky, sterile soil, or equally untilla-
BILE swampy lands, the woodlot is the
most neglected part of the farm.
Were it not for the excellent condi-
tons favoring growth in Maryland,
our woodlands would long ago have
refused to yield their valuable pro-
ducts in retaliation for Our neglect
and wanton waste of their resources.
But new order Of things is coming
into being. The farmer is awaken
to the fact that wood is just as much
d crop as hay or corn, that intelligent
care will certainly bring a better yield
and will increase the value of the
property. A good woodlot is like
good building, good fences, an i'm
provcment with market value when
it becomes desirable to sell.
The most important function OF
the woodlot is to supply the farmer
with the needed fuel and construction
material needed on the farm, There

WHY GRASS FAILS TO GROW AND
HOW TO GROW 1T.

Why docs grass fail? The princi-
pal reason is that the fertilizers now
in use contain SO much acid that,
after prolonged use, the soil becomes
so ovcr-charged with poisonous acids
that it becomes sour.
TO change the general chemical
condition or any acid poisoned soil,
use good Lime, free from magnesia,
it is the only positive remedy. A
good dressing of wclled Stacked Lime,
applied to the wheat land before seed
ing, will insure an excellent stand OF
grass the next season. To return all
sorrel fields to good heavy stands OF
any kind of grass, use good lime, il
never fails to tone up the land and
bring it back to good healthy con-
dition for all crops.
The soil contains tons of locked up
crop producing material. Lime pro-
duccs the many chemical changes
which unlock this incxhaustable sup
ply. 1t regulates the acidity and
gives the soil new life and power, not
only to combine the gases in the soil
but also to assist in attracting nitro
gen from the air in large quantities
Catoctin clarion. [volume] (Mechanicstown, Md.) 1871-1940, 1907-01-24

is constant demand for fence posts,
rails, stakes and poles as well rs an
occasional need of saw logs for ma
king the necessary framing material
and boards for farm buildings. In
addition to this, the farmer often
finds that he can sell timber for cross
ties, poles, piling etc. at good price.
The single item of fire wood is an
important one to the farmer. In one
of the counties of the state where the
average rt,ral conditions exist, it was
found, by careful estimate, that the
average consumption Of fire wood per
family was about IA cords. If the
farmer had to buy this or haul coal
from distant r. r. station, it would
be quite a tax. He can cut his wood
at most convenient times when other
farm work is not pressing SO that the
fuel he uses is practically that much
gained. The fire wood taken from
the woods if it is the dead material
as is generally the case, is really an
improvement to the woodlot and can
not be considered as reducing the
growing stock.
The woodlot serves other purposes
which, though not SO apparent as
those that have been given, are none
the less of Importance. These are in
the nature of protection. A woodlot
surrounding the home and farm
buildings, or location the windward
side of them, affords protection tc
both man and beast. This means
not only added comfort, but saving
of food and fuel. Woodlots at the
source of streams or near springs tend
to preserve in them an even flow
throughout the year. 1t is a well
known fact that woodland springs live
through periods of drought when
those not protected by trees dry up.
Windbrcaks OF trees also have a
very beneficial influence in checking
evaporation of moisture over adjacent
cultivated fields during windy, dry
weather.
The woodlot is just as essential to
a we'll ordered farm as buildings OF
any thing else that contributes to the
comforts, convenience and beauty OF
the surroundings.

A FIGHT AT LOVEFEAST.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Thc Re
puhlicans of the Senate spread then
tables for lovcfeast today, but it was
served with tabasco sauce dressing.
While the several clcments-Ad-
ministration and anti-Administrat-
ion, Democrats and Republicans-ac-
guessed in the modification OF the
Foraker resolution of inquiry so as to
incorporate in it substantially the
Blackburn amendment recognizing
the Presidents authority to dismiss
the negro troops without honor"
each claimed the privilege OF inter
prcting the modified Foraker rcsolu
ton in his own way.
Under the forms of accommodation
on every hand in the interest OF har-
..:ony ard good will, there was intense
+, ling, the only genuine satisfaction
being on the part of Mr.. Blackburn
and the Democrats, and the few Re-
publican friends of the President.
The proceedings opened with ex-
prcssions of satisfaction and mutual
congratulation that harmony could
be restored, but as the discussion pro-
ccedcd, each side trying to make its
position, greater and greater warmth
was generated, until the debate cul-
minated in a bitter speech by Scna-
tor Tillman, which led to the CALLER
les being cleared and the doors of the
Senate being closed, on motion of Sen
ator Teller, of Colorado, while Sena-
tors discussed a proposition to ex-
punge the expression of Mr.. Tillman
to which exception had been taken.
More than an hour was spent be-
hind closed doors, and the closed leg
islative session was marked by an
acrimonious debate over what had oc-
cured during the open session. Fin
ally the doors were reopencd shortly
after 6 O'Clock, and, as a result of the
secret discussion, there was return
to the love feast which had been
spread, although there vas stillt un-
usual suppressed feeling manifest.
After the doors were reopcned Ser .
ator Tillman publicly apologized for
the references which he had made to
Senator Carmack, Of Tennessee, and
shat apology was accepted by Mr..
Carmack Sun.

To Cost A Million A Year.

One million dollars year will be the
cost to the United States Government in
its enforcement of the purefood law en-
acted by Congress at it's last session.
An elaborate scheme of inspection has
been mapped out by Secretary Wilson
and Professor Wiley, the chemist whose
discovery that strawberry jam consisted
of timothy seed and glucose, with dash
of red flavoring material, and other frauds
brought on the agitation which resulted
in the pure-food law of the last session.
Seventy expert chemists are to be ap-
pointed, who will be able &c tell ct Z glance
%lather or not g cen of peas has been
doctored with copper, and whether the
deep rich red of tomato catsup has been
provided by nature or dyes. These will
he high priced officials. The pay of each
will be $4,000 n year, which will take out
of the Federal Treasury Le@rly quarter
of million dollars annually.
1t is the intention OF the Department
to assign an inspector to each state.
Some of the larger States like New York
and Pennsylvania will have two inspec-
tors each. They will be known as State
inspectors, although of course they will
have no connection whatever with the
State officials. Each man will be charg-
ed with the supervision of food stuff en-
tering into Interstate commerce and Of
fered for sale in his territory.
A series of laboratories is to be built in
which the chemists will analyze canned
goods of all kinds, and determine wheth-
err or not the provisions of the law are be-
ing lived up to. Some of these work.
shops are already in operation. When
the Government force has been develop
ed to it's full strength, there will be lab
oratories at Boston, New York, Philadel-
phia, Cincinnati, Chicago, Sc. Louis, New
Orleans, San Francisco and Denver.
The cost of maintaining these institu-
lions will be considerable, because high
priced scientists will be in charge of each
with staff of we'll paid assistants All
these expenses will run the total cost OF
administering the pure-food law up to
81, 200, 900 year.
