They form gangs, according to the character of the work in hand. ranging from two, four, eight twelve to sixteen men to a unit.
 Although such transportation seems some what slow in comparison with the posstbii- ities of handling plants, yet they prosecute their task very energetically. and the scale of pay, ranging from 10 to IS cents a day Is so low as n render such labor Tar cheap CT than mechanical transport.

Forssting Abandoned Farms.

New York Press
 The abandoned farms of New England have been taken advantage of to con siderable extent for forestry work. During the past year about 2.500 acres have been planted with trees, an din the course of a few years these will prove profitable in- vestments. In addition to this. several of the water companies have adopted the tree planting policy as means of fostering the water supply. The redemption of these farms Is very important thing to this sec tion, for the increasing number of aband- oned farms has been matter of serious to offer a solution to the problem of uti- Iizing the land which has been lying idle Tn Massachusetts this area of waste has been computed as ten per cent of the total acreage, while in Rhode Island alone there are no less than 22S Of these aband- opad farms,

NEW YoRK.s sENAroR.

NEW fORK'S SENATOR.
 The people of New York. through their Legislature. have 1t in their pow CT to accomplish real good for their state and for the Senate of the United States as well. for both will be ben efited if the Legislature performs its duty and takes advantage of the op- portunity now before it, and awaiting its action.
 For years New Torlx's representation in tue upper House of Congress has not been of a character to reflect credit on the largest and richest State of the Union. Depew is little more than a clever after dinner speaker. almost without influence in the Senate as statesman. and as he is now near the three-quarter century mark not much active and efficient service can be ex- pected of him. As to Platt, he not merely has the weight of more than seventy-fye years on him, but he is morally unfit for the high place lie Is holding His character and reputation are not such as to make him credit to New York or to the national Sem ate and the sooner he gets out of it the better for New York and for the Senate. He should have retired before now of his own accord, and falling in that his State should have removed him.
 Now that Piatt's term is about to expire the Legislature has the privi- lese and duty Of slestins suitable man to take his place. Of course the new man will be 8 Republican and the Legislature should choose g. man fitted for the position, both by char acter and qualihcatious. So far but three men have been prominently mem tioned for the place, They are Eiihu Root Timothy Woodruff and Theodore Roosevelt. Of thls trio the Legislatufe should not hesitate to choose the first named. Tim Woodruff would be no improvement on the man he would re- place, and to send him there to take Platt's place would be to discredlt the State and the Legislature.
 As for Mir. Roosevelt he is not suitable man to be sent to the Senate. for he lacks almost everything that is necessary to make good Senator. He lacks prudence. he lacks Judgment, he lacks frmness. he lacks consistency. he lacks moral courage. he lacks fairness, and we are not sure that he doesn't lack political honesty. He would be no credit to his State as a Senator, and he would be continual dlsturber in that body. He would naturally try to bulIdoze and browbeat Senators, as he tries to do everybody else, and his presence in the Senate would be a veritable bull in china shop
 Of the three. men prominently spok- en of Elihu Root, is by long odds the most proper man. He would carry with him well deserved reputation for character, ability and statesman ship. with extended experience in pub lie affairs. If the Legislature sends him to take Platts place it will do the right thing. as between him and the other two men mentioned. There are some eminent statesmen among the New York Republicans, one of whom would be in every way suitable for the position. but if the choice is to lie between Roosevelt Root and woodfufr by all means Root is the man to be elected.
