Progress And value or Tree
Planting.

Report from all parts Of the county
show that the pas, season has undoubt.
edly been characterized by q more ex.
tensive planting Of forest trees than any
previous year in the history Of the United
States. The work il progressing very
favorably in every State in the Union,
II has been most extensive in California,
in the great Middle West, and in the
New England States. But even in the
South, where planting has been more or
less limited because Of existing natural
forests, scope OF the work has greatly
broatlened.
The trees planted have been mainly
hardwoods. Several large nurscrynien,
however, report greater sales of conifers
for forest planting than they have ever
made before. In the Middle West ca.
talpa. black locust, Usage orange, and
Russian mulberry we're the favorite tree
in the North and northeast preference
was given to white pine, chestnut, larch,
and spruce, in the South the native con.
where the immense annual planting area
has been increased to at least five times
its former size. eucalyptus had pracu-
cally monopoly.
A few figures readily show the value
Of forest planting from a commercial
standpoint. In Pawnee County, Nebr +,
u lo.year.old catalpa plantation gave a
net return Of Sl52,l7 per acre at the time
the plantation was cut. This meant an
annual profit of S6.24 per acre. A 10
year.old plantation Of the same species
in Kansas showed net value Of 81 81 IS
per acre. Still another plantation, in
Nebraska. gave net income of $i7O.5O
per acre when IL years old, which
amounts to an annual income Of ~ 81
per acre. Several equally striking cases
could be cited throughout the entire
Middle West, and it il known that where
the catalpa will succeed no other tree
will pay so we'll. Good soil and nois-
ture conditions are. however, essential
for success with this tree.
Usage orange has been known to
produce az high as e,64O frst.class posts
and 2,272 second-cass posts per acre,
and it is we'll understood that no posts
are better than those Of Usage orange.
LAnd producing such a forest as this
could hardly be put to better use, since
timber Is the easiest of all crops to raise
aud from now on will never 90 begging
for market.
Red cedar in plantations 25 years old
has reached value OF 500 81 pet acre.
European lsrch used for fence posts or
telephone posts reaches an average value
Of $500 to 300 White pine plantations
~ years old have exceeded VALUE Of

H|TSAND MRS
The Hired Man.

Pierce in Grafton Record: The hired
man was born on a farm four miles
from Cannon Falls, MINI. The farm
was fenced on one side by the Cannon
river, in which the hired man often
washed his feet at sunset. 1t was also
a handy place to water the cows. In
the winter the hired man walked two
miles to school, occupied front seat,
buried himself in his geography in his
search for knowledge; he also whit
tied his desk and put piece of lin
burger cheese in Swan Nelson's ink
we'll. AS soon as he was big enough
he began working at his trade as 3;
hired man. After milking seven COWS
ne plowed corn all day and talked
about hard times with the rest of the
men at night. When he was twenty
one years old he started to town to
vote, but fell in the river and changed
his mind. One day pump agent gave
him cigar and he tried to smoke
when driving an old COW to the butcher
shop. He took sick by the roadside
and was unable to accompany the COW
to her destination. The COW got into
the pound and the hired man got fired.
After spending week looking for the
pump agent with pump handle the
hired man came to North Dakota and
went to work for Poison Carrots.

But to make money, poultry raising
should be associated, in Mrs. Cooper's
opinion, with the growing of small
fruits and bee keeping. when one
IS not earning money the other two
Will be doing it," she says. Bees are
an important part of fruit culture,
for very often there are not wild bees
enough to fertilize the shrubs. If two
or three swarms of bees are working
amongst the fruit a much surer and
larger crop can be looked for.
AS to fruits, she finds raspberries
the most profitable, Strawberries be-
ing uncertain and requiring a lot of
care. She started with is hills OF
raspberries and now has about 100.
Each winter she leaves about 80 or
40 canes in each hill. Although some
nurserymen recommend only five, she
finds that this is the best plan in
the west, so many being winter-killed.
Her raspberries last summer, deliver
ed by herself to customers, brought
her in $45.
On this three-quarters of an acre,
which has proved such money-mak-
er in Mrs. Cooper's hands, a crop OF
mangels is also grown, besides all the
vegetables cultivated for household use
and given away. Ten tons of these
mangels when sold added neat little
sum to the seasons earnings. Crab
apple trees have grown we'll and jelly
and preserves have been made at small
cost. A tree growing larger variety
between the crab and the regular sized
apple, has also done we'll.
The bare recital of what this woman
mas done should stir other women up
to go and do likewise, and indeed,
there are country lovers galore, city
bound. who dare not read to them
what is most alluring literature, else
the good man Of the house would find
his hearth left unto him desolate."

THEY RAISED FIVE DOLLAR BILLS
They Are Being Circulated Through.
out the State by Smooth
Artist.

Five dollar bills are in disrepute in
the northwestern part of the state.
Bills of that denomination are being
subjected to the closest scrutiny now,
as a result of the operations of one of
the cleverest money raisers who has
worked in North Dakota in years.
Word has reached this city of the
operations of this smooth fellow and
it is reported that he is now in this
city. 1t is said that number of Mi
not business men have been victims
of the raised IS bills, and the authori-
ties have been unsuccessful in their
we'll laid plans to effect the capture of
the crook.
The bills which have been brought
to the attention Of the authorities,
have been raised from 81 bills. The
work is said to be marvellous and in
every instance has been done with a
pencil. The only mistake in raising
has been in the failure to place the
letter w" on the breast of the eagle.
Otherwise 1t would puzzle an expert at
first glance to distinguish between the
raised and the genuine currency.
One Of the theories advanced by the
authorities Is that the man who has
been passing the bills was snowbound
at Minot and concluded to improve his
time by picking up little easy money.

OF Interest to Women

Mrs. A. Cooper, of Manitoba, who
lately Won first and second prizes at
the poultry show with her Barred
Rocks, in the section calling for best
utility breeding pens, is an example
OF what woman can do in profitable
poultry raising. A doctors daughter
in England, she came as one of
large family to Canada, where her
father took up farming and went on
with his practice as we'll. Twenty
seven miles from railway station,
the children found interests awaiting
them in the knowledge gained from
the care of fowls. Upon her marriage
Mrs. Cooper went on with what had
become a hobby, and very profit
able one as we'll. About six years ago
she began to devote her attention to
pure bred Plymouth Rocks. and she
considers this the very best breed for
the poultry grower to handle. "It is
a good egg producer, and a good en-
ergetic bird for an energetic woman"
she said. The first year, with fifteen
hens, she raised $50 chickens. The
following year she selected from these
the strongest pullets and the best hens,
rearing them and disposing of the
others. Next year she had $50 pure
bred Plymouth Rocks. She sold $3.50
worth of birds and SIS worth of eggs
for setting, and continued her process
OF selection, selling the next year $175
worth of eggs for setting and 5000
worth Of birds for breeding purposes,
these being sold to farmers in the
district. The young cockerels ranged
in price from $3.50 to IS apiece. She
made her own coops in many cases
and when she won prize last year
in Winnipeg for the best display OF
live birds, dressed poultry and eggs,
she sent the former in calico-covered
coops, in order to save expenses en-
route.
Two winters ago she showed for the
first time, winning the silver cup Of
fered by the Northwest Farmer, and
gold medal given by the Manitoba
Poultry association for utility birds
shown in the farmers class. Last
winter she sent her birds to Virden
(Manitoba association competition)
and took third honors in cockerels in
competition with q entries. Bringing
her exhibit then to Winnipeg she won
the Free Press Challenge cup for util-
ity birds, dressed poultry and eggs.
In the best display of Barred Ply
mouth Rocks farmers class she won
a prize offered by Aid. Pulford. and in
the open class took third prize with
her cockerels.
This year she is defending the cup
and has two utility pens, dressed poul-
try and new laid eggs.
A Sphere For Women.
Mrs. Cooper thinks that for women
who have some knowledge OF poultry
there is a splendid opening in the
west, provided they do not go too far
away from villages and railways. She
finds it better to ship to Winnipeg,
as in the country one must be paid
in groceries, and in any case the city
market or private customers there
should be aimed at. For capital one
would need about 5000 for a start.
A small shanty would cost $3.50, the
poultry house, fitted up, 5000, and
about $3.50 must be spent on wolf
tight fences. In the first year of her
poultry raising experience she lost
from $3.50 to $500 worth of chickens,
destroyed by wolves.

A NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH
Great Northern Thrown High by
Snowplow-Was Caught in
Cut near LaWtOn.

Conductor Kelsey of the Great
Northern had narrow escape from
death in the big cut near Lawton.
He was taking freight train up the
Sarles line and the regular passen-
ger was following. Conductor Kelsey
went back to flag the passenger
against the freight and was caught In
the big cut by the passenger, the
snow pillow throwing him in the air
about fifteen feet and landing high
and dry on the big snow bank. When
he had extracted himself from under
the snow and took inventory he
found that he was slightly bruised on
the right side, otherwise he sustained
no injury.
