Thousands of Acres Of State
Land might be made of
Great Value.
If Planted With LOcusts.
The Best Timber known for
Railroad Ties because of it's
Lasting Qualities-Fine
for Furniture.

The question of reforesting the state
lands Of Michigan. Of which there are
thousands of acres of pine plains from
which the original timber has all
been taken, is receiving considerable
attention, and will soon become a
matter Of vital importance.
1t is very evident that something
must be done to make these lands
produce something Of value. There
are thousands of acres tLat are absol--
utely valueless for farming purposes,
that could be made of value in the
growing of trees, and the question is,
what kind Of trees that are valuable
for commercial uses can be grown
upon this sandy soil that will soonest
reach size sufficient to be made
available.
The writer has recently made con-
siderable study and examination Of
the question and is thoroughly con-
vinced that the GleditSia Triacanthos,
commonly known by the several names
of Black Locust, Honey Locust and
Sweet Locust, is just the tree that
can be used successfully for this pur-
pose.
Grows Fast on Sandy Plains,
1t is not particular as to the quality
of soil and grows rapidly on our sandy
plains. While there are some var
ieties of this timber that are subject

court.

person under the age of thirteen years,

articles named in section one of this
act.

1t is at once seen that the number OF
deaths both in our own state and
throughout the entire country in 1903,
greatly exceeded the number of deaths
for the years following. This decrease
since 1903 is due chiefly to the aroused
public sentiment and the passing Of
ordinances against the use of danger
Gus fireworks, for after the fatalities
were recorded in 1903,a crusade against
such use was begun; aud it is the be-
lief OF this Department that If more
localities would force the state law
and pass ordinances to control sale aud
use Of improper fireworks, many
persons would be saved from injury
and needless death. In cities where
ordinances were passed and enforced,
the actual number of accidents was
considerably lessened. = Is it not worth
while TO guard against even high
percentage Of casualties?
1t is the judgment of this Depart
ment that if people generally know OF
the Michigan law governing the sale
| and use of blank cartridges, toy pistols
and other dangerous fireworks; If they
know the real danger resulting from
! their use; if, in addition. local ordi-
nances be passed to control such sale
and use, so that people may exercise
| the care and discretion that will pro-
tcct their own interests, and mer-
chant may become reluctant TO invest
in harmful goods; by such action we
can prevent TO a great extent this
dread and fatal disease, tetanus, and
guard against needless sorrows.
The Law Of the State of Michigan is
as follows:

AND USE OF TOY PISTOLS,

The Protection of Human
Life and Limb on the
Fourth of July.

A greater number Of deaths from
lockjaw results after our celebration
of the Fourth Of July than at any
other time. That the increase of
fatalities and casualties then occur
ring can be to great extent prevent
ed is beyond question; and that it
should be prevented is the response
bility of the civil officials Of every
locality,
The records Of deaths both in the
United States and Michigan show
that death from tetanus, popularity
called "lockjaw, follow wounds from
explosions of blank cartridges, toy
pistols, giant tirecrackers, torpedo
canes and piuwheels. 1t is not
thought that any of these explosives
themselves contain the tetanus germ:
for the raw materials do not neces-
sarily contain the bacili causing the
disease, and besides the mode Of man
ufacturing fireworks would tend to
destroy the bacilli should they chance
to be present in the raw materials.
Moreover powder explosions occur
where grains of the powder enter the
flesh without Infection from tetanus
following. The tetanus germ exists
and thrives in the incrustation or dust
of filth; and in midsummer, in July,
the atmosphere is laden with such
dust which settles on the skin OF
human beings. A wound, then per-
mitts this dust SO laden with tetanus
germs to enter the abrasion of the
skin, and, sealed in this excellent
medium, tetanus germs become pro-
life. causing the death OF the human
being within short time.
The common use of improper fire.
works by children as well as by adults
in the celebration of Independence
Day, readily explains the unusual
death rate from tetanus in the month
of July. Following is table showing

States for three years, and in Mchi-

An Ornamental Tree.

We are surprised that the railroad
companies, especially those operating
in Michigan, haye not long before
this made use Of a part OF their right
of way for growing Black Locusts for
ties. 1t strikes us that at least
twenty-five feet Of the out er edge OF
their right of way might be protitably
utilized for this purpose. Besides, a
grove of locusts upon either side Of the
roads would add greatly to the beauty
of the landscape through which the
roads pass. 1t is fine, orna mental
tree, with prolific, sweet smelling
blossoms. The only objection to 1T is
that its foliage comes out rather la G
in the spring, but when 10 does set
out in full.lea and bloom its beau y
and the sweet perfume with which il
fills the air is unsurpassed.

Rapid Growth.

AS we have said, our light, sandy
soil is well adapted to it's propagation
and growth. AS showing how rapid a
grower it is, we will state that the
writer has locust tree In his yard at
Traverse City,which was started from
a sprout Of one seasons growth eigh
teen years ago and today it measures
IA inches in diameter. There Is also
a grove of Black Locusts in Traverse
City that started from sprouts from
the roots Of other trees, that have
since been removed about ii years ago.
Some of these have been taken out,
but there are now standing upon a
piece Of light, sandy ground 40 Of
these trees, growing within space Of
land six by eight rods. These trees
vary in size from to II inches ia
diameter. Several Of them are large
enough for railroad ties and fence
posts.

variety is hardy and entirely free from
insect attacks and disease. 1t is
hard and solid timber and is especially
we'll adapted for use for railroad ties
and fence posts, as it is more lasting
in the ground than either white or
yellow cedar. and being much harder
will outlast oak or any other timber
that we know Of for ties. When dry
its specific gravity Is 0.6740, and a
cubic foot Of it weighs AZ pounds. 1t
is also a valuable timber for the manu-
facture of furniture, as it is capable Of
taking high polish, and being a
rapid grower has large grains, making
most beautiful wood.

Indeed they don't - the dairyman re-
piled. "'Bad egg dealing is a business in
itself All bad eggs go to tanners and
papermakers.
"These eggs are carefully opened by
hand, and the whites are separated from
the yolks-unpleasant, smelly work, but
work that no machine can do. The yolks
are mixed with flour and salt, and this
dough is sold to the leather men, who size
and dress hides with it.
''The whites are used in the sizing of
fine paper. Care must be taken that they
are properly separated, as the least bit Of
yolk in them would cause yellow streak
upon the paper s surface.

Green Food For Poultry.

The farm breeder should lay in an abun-
dant supply of fodder for his poultry just
as he does for his horses, cattle and swine.
Instead Of hay and grain, however, garden
refuse, such as small and imperfect cabbage
heads, potatoes and turnips, make ex-
cellent changes in the ordinary feed for
the chickens.
All these things should be carefully
stored, SO that when the snow or cold rains
fall the hens may have something green
to keep their appetites in condition. A
change of diet every couple of days is
advocated by some of the most successful
breeders. Cook the green food one day
and feed it raw the next time and SO on.
Readily discernible results are sure to
follow.
