Twenty Year Supply of Pine,

The wood chemistry section of the
forestry bureau has been giving some
attention to the subject of the produc-
ton of turpentine from yellow pine
waste. 1t is stated that for the recov.
cry of turpentine from waste wood the
steam distillation process is far SUI
perior to destructive distillation, max
ing more uniform crude turpentine,
and usually higher grade refined
product. The wastage from the yellow
pine cut each year would yield as
much turpentine as the entire pres.
ent annual output in this country,
with a value of $14,OOOOOO. At the
present rate of cutting the supply of
long-leaf yellow pine in the south will
be practically exhausted in 20 years,
but the methods of exploitation now in
use convert only about half the tree
into market product.

Breaking the News,

At recent dinner of THE Fossils"
given recently, James M. Beck was
one of the speakers. "The Fossils" Is
an organization composed of former
amateur journalists, and Mr.. Beck, as
one of the organizers of the National
Amateur Press association in Philadel-
phia in 1876, has never lost his inter-
est in this most admirable training
school for young writer's.
''In looking back upon those days
when the publishing of amateur pa
pers seemed the most fascinating
thing in the world" said Mr.. Beck in
the course of his address, Il feel in
deed that l am quite in the fossil
class. The organization of the Ma
tional Amateur Press association
seems almost prehistoric. In looking
back through the years it is almost
as misty as the Stone age. I was a
very small boy when l took part in
those weighty deliberations. L feel
like the youngster who said to his ia

SUMMER CARE OF FLOCK.
Things the Successful Raiser Will Be
Sure to Remember.

In the first place the entire flock
should be thoroughly dipped in one of
the good commercial dips, which are
both cheap and effective. l then find
it profitable to separate the barren
ewes and any that have lost their
lambs, writes an Indiana farmer in
Farm and Home. These l put on
clover or blue grass pasture and feed
corn, either shelled or on the cob.
I have had good results feeding
them along with fattening hogs, thus
saving an extra pasture. Handled
rightly these ewes will be in fine shape
for market by June Is, which time
usually finds one of the best markets
for the year.
For the ewes and lambs to be car
ried over two or three pastures should
be provided, so that change can be
made every two or three weeks. l do
not think pasture can profitably be
made large enough to run a flock of
sheep the entire season, with best re-
suits, especially if it has been used for
a number of years.
During hot weather the sheep will
bunch closely in the shade and return
to the same spot often during the day,
thus getting such spots dusty and un-
fit for the sheep. BY changing from
one pasture to another we have fresh
grass and fresh resting places, since
these places have been disinfected by
sun and rain.
l think it profitable to run other
stock in these pastures beside the
sheep, such as COWS and calves, or
yearling cattle. These animals keep
down the rank grasses and the sheep
will thrive better on short grass If
blue grass or timothy becomes long
and rank sheep will not eat it we'll and
will lose in flesh. Such is not the
case with. clover or rape, however
Free access to salt which is damp
ened with turpentine during the dry
season is a good thing. The odor Of
the turpentine keeps the flies from
their noses and heads and destroys
some Of the internal parasites.
l have found sheep to be the most
profitable live stock that can be kept
on the farm. Mutton can be produced
in this locality at a lower cost per
pound than beef, taking no account of
the wool, which itself makes a nice
profit. During the past few years the
price has ranged from % to "a cents
per pound for medium wool.

The Weakening of Wildwood
By Stanley E, johnson

Twenty years ago nobody went to
Wildwood, and yet, 20 years ago, its
mountains were as picturesque, its
sunsets as gorgeous, the white moon
light, streaming through the tops of
its tall, dark pines, was as glorious
and impressive as to-day. But now,
from an unknown crossroads, it has
become one of the most noted and i'm
portant places ON the White Mountain
map of summer travel. The little
place that slumbered is bounding with
life. From the first day of July to the
first week of October, every year,
more baggage is handled at Wildwood
Junction in single day than had en-
tered the township in the whole
course of its existence prior to it's
awakening. And it's awakening was
brought about by the great transform
err, Death. This is how it came to
pass:
In the best room" of the lonely
hillside farmhouse of Abraham Jen-
kins-a room seldom opened except to
the minister and book agents-were
assembled, one November day, the
clans of the Jenkinses and Perkinses,
to attend the funeral of the late Mar
tina Perkins jenkins, the farmers wife.
A stalwart son, the eldest of a family
Of nine children, had, after Abraham
himself, given voluble testimony to
their high appreciation of the depart
ed. The leanest of a covey of maiden
sisters of the deceased took the wild
over aside and said: II only hope she
knows how yer feelin' fer her; it
would be a good bit satisfyin' to her.
I'm sure. She seq to me once, seq
she, Eff go,sI know that Abe'll marry
some young thing that never'll TEX no
interest in the young ones. and they'll
be left ter shift But We wouldn't do
that, would We, Abe?"
Disregarding this pointed appeal,
Abraham Jenkins cleared his throat
and addressed the assembled com.
pany:
I've jest decided ter tell We, s'long's
yer all here, that I've sort O. felt ez
eff sh'd foller her soon. So I've

The first stranger to notice the Cd
dity of this bit of mortuary sculpture
was touring bicyclist. What could
1t mean, he wondered. The sexton,
whom he happened to catch on the
premises, denied all knowledge of the
significance of the inscription, but he
grinned. The bicyclist was followed
not long afterwards by a visitor in a
buggy. Soon the country SWANS, with
their companions, drove from places
rs miles away to read and ponder
upon the strange inscription. Picnic
parties came and gazed upon it and,
after eating luncheon in the grove of
tall pines-now known as Wildwood
went away to spread the intelligence
of, the peculiar monument in Wild
wood cemetery and extol the charms
of the neighborhood.
The years sped swiftly by, and bits
of moss and lichen gathered in the
deeper lines of the carved index and
chung to the angles of the sculptured
letters, but an increasing army of Wis

decay were periodically cleaned away
by unseen hands. The seasons passed,

St. YIneent'S HOSpital

When the election is over the good people of this city should aid the La dies auxiliary of St. Vincents hospital to secure a sum that will in turn secure the construction of the much-needed east wing of the hospital The hos pital as it stands was built almost wholly at the expense of the Sisters of Charity. This was about ten years ago, and in that ten years the Sisters have demonstrated their efficiency in caring for suffering humanity.
 The growth of the city now calls for additional hospital accommodations and the ladies are endeavoring to col lect one-half of the sum needed. The proposed east wing will cost S50,000, and the people of Jones valley are asked to raise one-half of this amount The Sisters will get the other half from the general fund of their society
 Birmingham cannot afford to reject this offer. and the bazar to be held next month will be an excellent oppor- tunity for aiding the Ladies' auxiliary in their great effort in behalf of the afflicted in this valley
