INVESTMENT IN TREES.
Experience Of an Expert In cuItivat-
ing Forests.

N~Po''S"So OF an Expert In Cultivate
ing Forests.
The planting and care oC-Sorest trees
have been carried on for several years
now by State Forester \. +. Halves OF
Connecticut, with interesting results.
MIR. Halves experience. boiled down to
few lines. indicates that for sandy.
cheap lands. such as were used for
most OF the experiments. the best trees
are pmes-white Scotch. Norway and
pitch. IL appears that i'm the long run
, white pine Is the best. the trees being
cheaper aud the growth through n
term of years being equal 60 any and
the lumber OF good market value. The
Norway pine Is also considered very
satisfactory. although the trees cost
more at the outset. The Scotch pine Is
n very rapid grower and will do wen
for planting in open spaces, white
pines requiring some shade of bushes
or brush To do It's best at the start.
lTwo-ycarold trees are most satisfac-
tory.
The young pines can be bought for
about So per thousand and Mt FIVE or
six feet apart are set 800 to the acre
In fairly open land the cost of plant
ing was $1.7O per thousand. with high
er costs In rough or bushy ground. Ex-
animation OF n number OF old planta-
lions OF white pine I'm the state indi-
Gates that with cheap lands and low
cost planting the pine would prove
profitable as crop. paying ut least 3
per cent compound interest ut present
prices OF lumber. with every probable
ity that prices will be higher by the
time paintings now made are ready for
market.
Attention Is called TO the very rapid
way I'm which the Investment Increases
by compound interest and taxes. 1t is
plainly unfair that the lumber crop
should be taxed over and over again
during growth. the tax gradually eat
ing up the profit from the plantation.
II would seem that every state would
see the advantage Of encouraging bust
ness tree planting 10y abating the tax
on past growth and taxing only the
annual Increase. An original invest
ment Of 81 per acre for land and $12
for planting. compound interest and
taxes. I'm Connecticut amounts 10 $40
10y the thirteenth year and To $500 I'm
seventy years. The present value of
old plantations Indicates that the
growth Of pine lumber would pay for
the Investment aud Interest II original
cost were kept ms low M possible. The
amount If lumber I'm one planting sew
cnty years old showed that the annua
growth had been around thousand
feet indicating yearly average I'm
come OF So per acre FOR seventy years
Such figures Indicate that forestry Is Z
very good business Investment for the
state as well ns being desirable foI
other reasons.

HOW TO SET A esoopY HEN.
What to Do When She RufHes Up Her
Feathers.


The season has a---.~ed when the hen
Is apt 10 show 90 Of broodiness.
The average beginner In poultry cuI-
ture Is pretty sure TO imagine that be-
cause the hen stays on the nest for
some time after she has laid an egg
she is broOdy. and many a sitting Of
good eggs has been spoiled 10y too
much haste.
When n hen is real broody she will
not only show 1t by "clucking'' when
or the nest but when on the nest she
will rutiie up her feathers and squeal
and sometimes pick at you the moment
you approach her. When I'm that con
dition she Is to be trusted.
The average beginner does not know
how 70 set hen and r&ch less how
to take care Of her. He Is apt TO tack
up boxes about the house or allow her
a regular laying nest and in order to
keep the rest OF the flock from worry
Ing her viii lnclose her with n cage or
something. About once n day he Will
take the hen off the. pest to allow her
TO eat and dust hersSf 1t Is n wrong
move to make. No man is so wise that
he knows just when n hen wants TO
get off her eggs or when she must re-
turn to them.
The best plan Is 70 use a barrel out
doors. Place the barrel on It's side and
fasten II so Ii win not move. A good
plan is TO dig away few inches OF
earth and have the barrel fit in the ex-
cavatiOn. Then throw I'm several inches
Of earth and on top Of this make n
nest Cover the barrel with some
heavy waterproof paper to keep out
the rain.
In front OF this place an A shaped
run, made of lath. Provide water.
whole corn and grit and then allow the
hen to get Off and on her nest at will.
Never tamper with her nor disturb
her nest. She knows her business, and
you cannot help her. At night close up
the front OF the nest so as to protect
her from rats, cats or dogs.
After the hen is removed from the
house TO the outdoor barrel nest she
should for a day or two be allowed TO
sit on China nest egg. This will give
her n chance to become reconciled to
her new quarters Always remove
broody hens aud also give them their
eggs at night.
When the hatch is due close up the
front of the barrel so the chicks will
be protected and do not remove any OF
them from the nest or the heat of the
hen will be lowered, and n poor hatch
may result.
More chicks are killed or weakened
than raised by this continual pamper-
ing with the hatch. Nature has pro-
vided hens with the proper knowledge
so that they can care best for their
offspring a newly Matched chick had
better not be fed for from thrty-six to
forty-eight hours after coming out OF
the shell.

Hedoe TRIMMING Made Easy.

Hedge trimming has been made
easy by the ingenuity Of an Oregon
man who has devised n machine that
will cut as many branches as n dozen
men working by hand ut once, will cut
them straight and will cut them with
out any difficulty. The machine con
sists of a large number OF teeth set IN
a row and all operated by the same
shaft. which is turned by handle
Their effect is that OF so many pairs of
shears working in the same line side
by side. The device is fastened to the
operators body by harness so thai
it sets firmly, and, while he guides in,
knives with his left hand, with his
right hand he turns the crank that
opens and closes them. Naturally this
