KILLING MEN IN BATTLE,
Soldiers Reluctant to Admit That
They Have Taken Human Life

In q reference to the charge of the
Light Brigade at Balaklava. in which he
took part, Lord Tredegar has raised the
question of the soldiers conscience
Speaking at an anniversary gathering on
Saturday, he said: Il give myself the
benefit of the doubt that 1 have 10 MUIR
der on my conscience" He was not Ger
tain, he said, whether he killed a man in
that charge or not.
Every one knows that even if he had
killed man in action he would not be
guilty of murder. The conscience of the
British soldier has apparently the effect
Of making him extremely reticent on the
subject. Hardly ever will an old soldier
declare that he has killed a man EXCEPT
in cases where the feeling Of avensing
humanity was added to the sense Of duty
in battle

THE SUDDEN SAW LOG"
Tree Growing Pointed Out as Profit
able Crop.

1t is time for the farmers of MIN
nesota and the Northwest to rid them
selves of the idea that crops to be prof.
liable must be soWn and marketed IN
the course of a single year. The pro-
fessors in charge of the Minnesota
forestry school are planning wisely
when they contemplate putting a man
in the field to show the people of this
state the advantages of planting trees,
and specially the Norway poplar
called also the Sudden Saw Log"
from it's rapid growth. This tree was
developed by the late Professor sam
uel Green, and is highly praised by
experts of the whole country. 1t Is
said that in four years the tree VIII
attain a circumference of 10 inches
three feet from the ground and IN a
very short time will yield fence posts.
When it is remembered that eight [lun-
dred trees can be planted to the acre
and the wood is equal to pine FOL
flooring, inside casing and framing. the
advantages as a cheap fuel and lum-
Der are easily seen.
The desire to get quick returns on
the land, absolutely necessary in many
cases in the first years of settlement.
tends to a habit without other sus-
gestion, and tillers of the soil in the
Northwestern states have been back
ward in planting trees. There are
many varieties of fruit trees which
also grow well in this climate, and
in many of the apple shows of the
country the best fruit has been from
trees developed in Minnesota. The
cold winters require a hardy tree
which gives a flavor to its fruit. often
lacking in apples raised in frost pro-
tected valleys of the South and West.
Minnesota might as well raise more
apples as not. One man in Mobiles
county makes $1,000 an acre from APP
pies, the buyers picking and shipping
them. Other parts of the state can
be farmed just as intensively, and In
practically every part the Norway
poplar, closely related to the common
cottonwood. will flourish to the profit
of the farmer and protection of the
diminishing supply of lumber.-St.
