the really practical side OF the problem, tnere
should be less and less cause for the ABANDON
ment Of the provisions of working plans made
for definite periods
The first working plan in Vermont under the
state forest service was made by the writer while
engaged as assistant to the state forester the
area treated is ownd by Dr. William Stanford
Stevens of Adams, Vermont and Is located at
Enosburg, In the same state. An outline OF the
work and its provisions follow.
The area involved embraces 900 acres, divided
as follows:
Woodland, 800 acres; pasture land 344 acres;
meadow, 1876 acres.
The conditions that led the owner to consider
the possibilities of forestry were these: The
had been maintained under more or less diver
sihed system of farm management, and as the own
er did not live on near the property, he wished
to be relieved of the care and attention that sucn
an arrangement involved
To accomplish this purpose II seemed best to
bring the three classes Of land under definite
and permanent system Of management through
the provisions and maintenance OF a forest work
ing plan.
The provisions follow:
l. To complete the treatment OF the whole tract
at the end Of ten years
2. All woodland to be treated is divided into
ten equal areas, to be thinned In the fall and
winter of each year.
g. All pasture land Is divided into ten equal
areas one be planted In the spring OF each year
4. All meadow land will be maintained as such.
s. For each wooded area, the kind Of thinning
to employ is stated; also rough estimate, to-
gether with net value, of the amount to come out
6. For each area to be planted, the species are
selected and the number necessary given together
with the total cost of the work.
The woodland is mixed, hardwoods consisting OF
sugar maple yellow BIRCH beech, and small
percentage of ash Eastwood. poplar, ironwood.
cherry and elm, with young hemlock and spruce
reproduction well established on few sections.
Sugar maple reproduction is especially good, and
with ash and Eastwood is particularly desirable.
In treating this area either reproduction or i'm
provement Trimmings were prescribed, removing
all undesirable and over-mature species and such
mature species seemed best for the require
ments OF the Thus only desirable species
were left to reproduce as well as to become more
valuable through increased growth.
In carrying out the field work for this plan, the
area was first surveyed both by boundaries and
types of land It was necessary to ascertain the

TO TEACH FILIPINO FARMERS

The recent appointment of Frederic
W. Taylor as director of agriculture
for the Philippine Islands, recalls the
career of one of the most interesting
personalities associated with the de-
velopment of agriculture. For this is
the same Mr.. Taylor who made a
worldwide reputation as superintend-
ent of agriculture at the ST. Louis ex-
position, and who has been prominent
ly identified with the agricultural ex-
hibitions at nearly every American
exposition of any importance, from
the irrigation Of arid lands to the
reclamation Of the swamp lands Of the
south.
Mr. Taylor's appointment TO his new
post Is especially merited, for few
phases Of agricultural development
are unknown to him. A horny-fisted
farmer himself. born In Iowa, he long
ago established an enviable reputation
as most capable student and writer
In the advancement Of practical agri-
culture.

(The acreage of woodland to be treated is cut
down from the total $50 by the fact that about $50
acres was being cut under contract made
previous to the adoption Of this plan 1t accounts
for only % and 20 acres coming under management
for the years given above which is, of course not
one-tenth Of the total Of woodland)
1t is estimated that the total receipts from the

above mentioned, will pay the complete cost OF

fore stated by the returns from the itself.
The returns from Trimmings which will be made on
each section In the period from 1885 to 1945, max
ing each section thinned 25 years old, will give a
considerable return. At this time about 400 trees
per acre will be removed. From 1850 to 1860 the
area will be clear cut by sections and replanted.
The total yield from this cutting should be at least
10000 board feet per acre The plan also pro-
vdes for proper fire protection which Is absolutely
necessary for the successful maturing OF planta-
ton It also states the conditions which any con-
tractor must meet who makes the cuttings during
the next ten years These conditions follow:
l. All trees to come out are blazed and stamped
with the letter "V."
2. The contractor must take all marked and leave
all unmarked trees.
g. Care In telling must be taken in order that
young growth and reproduction will not be injured.
A. All sound logs inches at the small end and
over to go into lumber.
g. Sound down timber and tops Of felled trees are
to be cut into cord wood
g. Care must be taken in skddding logs not to tn
ture standing trees and reproduction
Z The contractor viii be liable to penalty of
twice the value of any tree that Is cut not bearing
the official stamp.
s. All work Is subject to inspection.
The state forester also agrees to mark the trees
to cut each year.
While the owner himself will not enjoy this re-
turn, the plan offers example of the instance
cited previously by which individual is willing to
make a longtime investment In order to make it
possible for the next generation In bis family to
enjoy the results.

THE MUMMY SEED FRAUD

a most enticing letter quoting history, and correctly, too, to the effect that the wheat of ancient Egypt was much more prolific than the modern grain, bearing perhaps
 three or four times as many kernels to the stalk. Then he tells how he secretly raid
 ed the sacred tonbs, tore off the wrap pings from the royal corpse, and gathered in about peck of wheat that had been embalmed with the mummy-all which makes mighty fascinating reading to the farmer. He invests a couple of dollars foE hundred grains of the precious l<er |nels--and later writes to us to know why
 it didn't sprout. Oh, if it did and ripened into maturity. why it bears such a close
 resemblance to the wheat growing in his field. Then we have to shatter his dream of wealth"
 "It's surprising, the gullibility of. some people, v. said a special agent of the Post office Department who has been detailed
 to smoke out this mummy seed person and bring him to justice for using the
 mails to defraud. Not long ago I ran
 down a man who had swindled lot of folks, preachers mainly, by selling them
 ordinary pumpkin seed at dollar apiece Claimed they were seeds from Jonah s gourd which he had accidentally discov- cred while delving in the hills around an cient Nineveh.

These inquiries come from all parts of the country, for the mummy seed mans field of activity extends from Maine to California. They all want to know the same thing, whether the 100 grains of wheat they bought on the representation that they were taken from the tomb of an ancient Egyptian king on the banks of the Nile are the real thing. Of course, we answer the letters and tell them that in all probability the wheat they bought was raised in Min nesota, or, if it was indeed taken from the tomb of an ancient king it was utter ly worthless.

 Count Won Koengsmarck, member of ain historic Prussian family, has been sentenced to four months Imprisonment and the two money-lenders to nine and one respectively. The brothers Barons Non Arnim escaped With small fines.
 Baron Von Schenk has been sentenced to two years Imprisonment an.i fine of .cS0o while .his friend. the Hungarian of ficer, receives one years imprisonment and a fine of E30.
 In the case of Baron Von Schenk the court regretted that it could only impose the maximum sentence of two years i'm Hprisonment. Both the baron and Thi- holth were sentenced, in addition, to five years loss of honor.
 One of the quaintest of drinking vessels is to be seen at the Bratwurstglocklein. a Nuremburg inn, which has remained un- altered since it was built in 400. Sau- sages, sauerkraut and beer are the only commodities obtainable, and the limit Of accommodation is reached when ten cus- toners are present. Yet, several fortunes have been inado out of the house. for it was the favorite haunt of Albrecht Durer the famous painter, and the pewter f4c drank from is still treasured. This is a double vessel, one tankard fitting neatly into the other and it was reserved for Durer and his wife. According to tradi- ton, when the artist was in good tumor he used to fill the inside taniSard for his wife and they would clink the cups low irgly together. When domestic storms were brewing he kept the tankards to- eether and let his wife go dry.
