will be so dried as to be OF no value. This
year there has been a partial destruction
of the corn crop over large areas in Kan
sas and Oklahoma, and someone has sug-
gested that this loss might have been pre-
vented by the simple devices OF skipping
every tenth row at the regular time OF
planting and planting IL two weeks later.
In case the weather turns so intensely hot
as to destroy the pollen in the tassels,
these later stalks are almost certain to
tassel out and fertilize the entire field. It
appears that this practice has already
been adopted by a few Kansas farmers
with satisfactory results.

Warning

Van Camps is not like a condensed milk,
which is half sugar. Ours is nothing but
milk.
Analysis of Van Camps shows about s per
cent of butter fat. That is because we use
very rich milk and evaporate two-thirds of the
water.
But one may take out much less of the
water and still have "evaporated" milk.
So there is need to be careful. Don't think
that all milks are alike. Van Camps costs
no more than many brands which cannot
begin to compare with it.

USE OF MAHOGANY
The Peer of Decorative
Hardwoods

For refined expression in the mar.
uiacture Of furniture and all other
forms of interior decoration, mahog-
any is undoubtedly the peer of the
hardwOods. No wood is so uniyers.
ally used today for this purpose in
every city and country Of the world
no wood is so freely and successfully
initiated.
Americas architects and men of
the furniture and cabinet making in
dustrles draw heavily upon the
markets Of the world in the struggle
to supply an ever increasing demand
for genuine mahogany. Hundreds
Of tous of logs annually are imported
into this country and worked into
beautiful forms to grace fine homes
or dignity the interior of public build
ings, large hotels or railway cars.
A few years ago mahogany was
regarded as very precious wood,
and was employed only in the inter.
ior of tine finest houses and in the
manufacture of the most expensive
furniture. During the past few
years, however, there has been a
wonderful development in mahogany
importation aud use.
The total quantity Of mahogany
imported last year was nearly forty
two million board feet. OF this
large amount North America sup
piled 65 per cent and Europe IS
per cent. Tho Europe supplied only
a little more than one-fourth as
much mahogany as there was Inn
ported from North America its aver
age value per thousand feet was
more than twice as much, due to
finer quality. The remainder of the
imports came from Africa, South
America and Asia.
Mexico furnished 46.2 per cent of
the mahogany coming from North
America, Nicaragua followed with
1O.2 per cent, British Honduras with
1916 per cent, Cuba with 8 per cent,
and Honduras with "a per cent.
Other Central American countries
furnished the small remaining per-
centage.
Immediately following the war
with Spain, lumberman of the u. s.
exploited the largest and most acces-
sible Of the Cuban mahogany forests.
For a few years the forests of Cuba
contributed more largely to the sup.
ply in this country than at the pres
ent time, largely owing to the rapid
ity wseh Which this valuable timber
was logged and shipped. An engin-
eer employed by American authori-
ties during the recent Intervention
liz Cuba claims that nearly all of the
available supply of mahogany of
that island has been exhausted and
that what now remains in any con-
siderable Quantities is far remots
from transportation facilities.
The number of buyers Of mahogany
In this country's hardwood market
is now exceeded only by those Of oak
maple, poplar, baswood, ash, birch,
chestnut and Cypress. The princi-
pal reason for the popularity of ma
hogany is that the importers of the
logs end the manufacturers Of lum-
ber have never advanced its prices
beyond a modest profit, and 10 is rel
atively so low that it now makes lit
tie difference in price whether an
office building or a home is finished
in mahogany or quartersawn white
oak.
Another reason for its popularity
is because It improves in tone with
age.
