Charplt Method Of Taking Out Tree
Roots on Cleared Land Prov.
ing Successful.

Chehalls, Wash.-Chehalis is Just
now the center of an interesting ex-
pertinent In land clearing. Recently
through the Offices of Secretary Mer.
rell, Of the Chehalis Citizens club,
an arrangement made with Harry
Thompson Of the United States de.
partment Of agriculture, with head.
quarters at Seattle, and Prof. H. W.
Sparks, farm demonstrator Of the
state college, to conduct some expert.
ments with the charpit process OF
burning out stumps on logged-ofi
lands. The work has Just been com.
pleted at the farm OF Henry Duper.
tuis, near Chehalis.
One hundred FIR stumps, from two
TO four feet in diameter, were kept
burning in this test, an accurate &C.
count was kept of labor. Stumps
were completely destroyed. and roots
burned out at an average cost of 30
cents per stump.
This voluntary work of the Citizens
club Of Chehalis will, 1t is hoped,
prove Of great value to western Wash
ington and Oregon, as 1t establishes
the value of the charpit burning meth.
cd of clearing logged-of lands. The
process works most effectively on clay
soil.
The method has two valuable fea-
lures. First, 1t can be successfully
conducted without the high-priced
skilled labor required for the blasting
powder and donkey engine process
Boys from fourteen to sixteen years
OF age can do the work thoroughly.
Then, 1t leaves highly fertilized seed
beds for grasses, grains, berries or
other fruits, whereas blasting tears
holes In the ground and lifts the hard.
pan to the surface.
Photographs taken on the farm Of
Mr.. Dupertuis, where he has hereto.
fore used the charpit process, show
that wherever stump was burned
out there was invariably heavier
growth Of grain or grass than on ad-
joining ground. Fruit trees planted
over such a spot showed an unusual
growth as compared with others.

! do not believe that young girls

The larger proportion Of women's
colleges are in the hands of woman

al atmosphere Of the places is fem.
mime, the peculiar type of feminity
developed by highly cultured, middle
aged unmarried women. Now, while
the type may be very fine individual
ly, 1t is not the proper one to create
the atmosphere for girls at the for
native period Of their lives.
Girls just coming into womanhood
are receiving their most valuable i'm.
pressions and their future attitude to-
ward the questions of this time. Their
outlook on life, which | believe Is the
most important part Of the college
training. should be broad, and It can.
not be so unless formed In an en-.
vironment of breadth.
I'm the lower grades of the schools,

influence of the unmarried, middle.
aged woman is couhteracted by the
dominating influence Of the home. !
believe that an element of married
teachers, widows, who were teachers
before marriage, perhaps, would be
beneficial. The relationship Of these
schools and their pupils is different,
however. because the pupils live at
home The girls at college live a
purely academic life. They are on
their resources and they face prob.
lens that are quite new to them.
They are to be trained to become
competent and important parts OF
life, we hope. They need large out
look and broad viewpoint The
elements which go to give these must
be brought into their lives at this
psychological time, and all elements
that tend toward narrowness should

SAYS WORLD is GOING MAD
SO Declares Or. Forbes WinsIow, Ex.
pert on Criminal Lunaey, In
Recent Publication.

Misunderstanding to DR.. Forbes
Winslow, who acquired international
celebrity by his sedulous insistence on
his theory that Jack the Ripper was
homicidal maniac, the world is go
ing mad.
Dr. Winslow considers that the rate
OF progress to that contamination is
shockingly rapid. In a book Of remi-
niscences this expert in criminal luna
cy says:
BY a simple arithmetical calcula-
ton 1t can be shown the exact year
when there will be more insane per-
sons In the world than sane. We in
England are gradually approaching,
with the decadence of our youth, near
proximity to nation Of madmen.
BY comparing the lunacy statistics
OF 1859 with those Of 1909, four de-
cades having interviewed, my refiec-
tons are sad indeed A terrible but
real curse Is In store, and an insane
world seems to me certainty in the
not far distant future.
Tn 1859, out Of a population Of
22,223,2es, there were 5S,177 registered
lunatics in England and Wales, there
being one lunatic in every 41S Of total
population, whereas In 1909, out of a
population Of S5,75e,615, the number Of
registered lunatics was 12s,7s7, max
Ing on an average one lunatic In every
27S Of population. So that In forty
years an enormous Increase IN lunacy
is seen. Surely a dreadful future for
nations still unborn to have to cope
with.
These are the facts, and sad to re-
feet upon. They must be accepted
They cannot in any way be challeng-
ed"
Dr.. Winslow's phraseology Is some
times unhappy, as when>he writes, for
Instance:
4 have breathed the atmosphere OF
lunacy for over sixty years, and the
conclusions arrive al. are pessimistic

GOOD APPLE Butter
Smiling Party Period Is Nov a
Thing Of the Past.
Modern Methods Of Manufaeturs Have
Robbed PennsyiSania Farmers
Of Delightful Frolles Held
In the Fall.

Garfield. Pa.-During September and
October Of each year all roads in
Berks county lead to the cider and
apple butter mills, for this is the sea
son when everybody has more sp-
pies that be needs for winter use.
There is no farming community in
Berks county today that does not have
Its community cider mill. where farm
ers can take their apples in the morn
Ing and return with the cider a few
hours later. but there are only two
or three places In this great agri-
cultural county where the farmer can
so speedily turn his fruit into nice,
fresh apple butter
Marvellous as It appears to grand
mother. who used to SIT in the old
farmhouse kitchen with her little Bar
low knife. peeling the rinds on the
red checked apples, pairing them next
morning in the barrelsized copper
kettle to be cooked into apple butter.
II still appears more marvellous to
the mother Of twenty-five years ago,
to whom the apple butter party was
the time of the year" She can
hardly realize today that those good
old times are passing away.
What a change!" says mother.
To-day we pick the apples; tomorrow
father starts for the cider mill at s
O'Clock The apples are shoveled into
a grinding machine, ground into pom.
ace and shoveled to one Of the latest
style hydraulic presses. from which
the Juice is extracted in a very few
minutes, ready for the apple butter
cooking, under the same roof. The
cider is then cooked and boiled IN
large barrel-shaped receptacles. the
steam running through copper coils
that nicely fit in barrels.
The sweet apples the farmer lust
brings along from the tree. and there
is no shifting party on the farm be-
torehand. They are brought entire.
and are first nicely washed, then
placed In a barrel, cooked by steam
until they form a thin, mushy paste.
Then they are placed in a copper
sievelike instrument, over which is
operated rubber lever which sep
arates the skin from the apples, cores
ana seeds, so nothing but pure apple
juice goes into the apple butter. This
nicely sieved pulp and the boiling
cider are placed together in another
barrel, the spices are added, and with.
IN forty-fve minutes the steam that
runs through another set of copper
coils will have accomplished the trick
and the apple butter will be ready to
pour into the farmers milk cans or
crooks in which he usually hauls II
home.
The first apple butter cooking fac.
tory In Berks county was installed
by ex-County Treasurer David w. Mo-
gel and today he and his son. John
F, Mogel, make cider and cook apple
butter four days each week for the
farmers Of the community, and each
Saturday cook it for themselves. to
sell to other folks. When the farmer
gets his apples turned into cider he
pays only cent gallon. For apple
butter he pays fifteen cents extra per
