Nut Trees on the Farm.
Farmer and Stockman.

Farmer and stociman.
There is too much neglect OF the
nut bearing trees. In the general
awakening OF interest in timber cul.
ture, attention should be called to
the TACT that some trees may be
planted which are regular income
producers. Let any man with a farm
and a growing family, estimate the
possible home consumption OF wal.
nuts, hickory and hazel nuts. Per.
haps he can best do this by supply
Ing his family literally for one year,
He will be convinced that nuts form
no mean item In the possible family
diet. Then put with the proved facts,
the possibilities OF production, II the
odd places OF the farm we're filled
with nut.besring trees. In fact,
profitable trees might we'll take the
place OF many that have served their
day as a temporary shade trees. The
land they occupy has become so val
liable, that the timber, or wood
which they yield, may we'll be used,
and the space they I'll be taken by
more valuable types.
The black walnut has the widest
range, and is the most easily grown
OF all western nut trees Yearling
trees are very low In price and are In
supply In established nurseries.
While 1t Is little better to plant the
nuts where trees are to stand, still
good trees are grown by transplant
ing. The hickory is more difficult to
transplant, and is a slower grower,
so there is quicker return from the
walnut, by perhaps onehalf, and
that is an important item. Very few
efforts to cultivate the hazel nut are
reported. In fact, the wild supply Ia
still considerable, but is shrinking
year by year. Heavy pssturing and
the clearing OF woodlots, indicate that
II will soon be very scarce. Patches
OF stony land, or scrap pieces that
for some reason cannot be cultivated
with profit, should be set with SO

ROOSEVELT RAPS BRYAN.


New York, May 17.-Former Presi,
dent Roosevels, In the current mum.
Der OF The Outlook, combats the
statement credited to Count Leo
Tolstoi that Bryan represented the
party OF peace in the last presiden.
tial campaign. On this point Mr..
Roosevelt says:
"Now, there was but one point In
the platform Of either political party
In 1908 which contained an element
OF menace to the peace OF the world.
This was the plank In the Bryanite
platform which demanded the imme-
date exclusion by law OF all Asiatic
lsborers and therefore OF the jap.
anese.
coupled with this was the utterly
meaningless plank about the navy,
which was, however, intended to con.
vey the impression that We ought to
have navy only for the defense Of
our coasts; that is, merely defense
navy, or, In other words, a quite
worthless navy"
Discussing Tolstoi, Mr.. Roosevelt
expresses the opinion that the Rus.
sian writer has "swayed or domino
ted only the feeble folk and the fan
tastic folk" and that his influence
over "men OF action" has not been
great.
STRONG men may gain something
from Tolstoi's moral teachings" de-
clares the former President, out only
on condition that they are strong
enough and sane enough to berepell
ed by those parts OF his teaching'
which are foolish or immoral"
