MAST TREES FOR THE CROWN
Marx Of the Broad Arrow WAs
Placed on Pines In the Plymouth
Colony.

In the provincial charter of 1881,
under which the Plymouth colony and
the province of Maine were. united
With Massachusetts,, it was provided
that all trees of the diameter OF "a
inches and upward OF IL inches from
the ground. growing upon land not
heretofore granted to any private per-
son, should be reserved to the crown
fir the furnishing of masts for the
royal navy. Harper's Weekly OBJ
serves.
A surveyor general OF woods was ap-
pointed to see that this provision OF
the charter was carried into effect.
Near the coast all white pines Of suit
able dimensions were marked with the
broad arrow"-three cuts through the
bark with an ak, like the track of a
crow. This was the kings mark.
Long after the revolution had oblit-
Grated the royal authority men who
had been taught in boyhood to re
spect the kings mark hesitated to cut
such trees
In telling a tree it was necessary
to bed it" to prevent its breaking
This was done by cutting the small
growth and placing small trees across
the hollow, SO that there should be
no strain upon one section more than
upon another when the monster pine
struck ground.
The mast was hauled out of the
WoOda on one strong HlQd Wheth0r in
winter or summer. and SO many oxen
were required that the hind pair were
often choked in crossing hollow, be
ing hung up in their yoke by the pull
Ing of those ahead of them.
A mast hauling was a great event
and everybody within walking dis
lance came to see it.

FARM NOTES

Rye may be cut for hay and used
for all classes Of live stock.
The demand for agricultural ex-
perts far exceeds the supply.
Poultry manure is particularly good
for forcing the growth of onions.
Stock raising is the best insurance
against an impoverished agriculture.
A clover sod turned down makes
an excellent foundation for a corn
crop.
Use nitrate OF soda or liquid ma.
nure for crops that are growing
slowly
Whenever farmer gets the auto
fever he at once becomes a good-road
preacher
"Worn-out" manure from old hot
beds Is just the thing for mushroom
beds in the cellar.
Keep the stables and the yards
clean so that flies and insects have
no breeding place.

put the field in some cultivated crop

Only few years ago the chickens
and the pigs got most Of the residuum
of churning. They get very little
OF 1t now, for the wise men of the
hospitals have educated the public to
knowledge of its value. Not only In
cases OF serious stomachic ailment
but for all persons Of feeble or I'm
paired digestion, buttermilk is now e.
teemed a boon. The once despised
by-product ranks with sweet milk
and outranks 1t both with those who
find 1t palatable and crave 1t, and
with those for whom 1t Is incidentally
prescribed. The taste for buttermilk
Is mostly acquired, but once one gets
the habit 1t grows and sticks. Back
OF the developed fondness for the
cold. tart. acid beverage is the agree
able consciousness that the drink,
with the casein principle Of milk elm
mated. Is food salutary. wholesome
and easily digested, and that the more
one imbibes Of 1t so much the better,
says the Philadelphia Press. Recent
years have witnessed an enormous
increase In the consumption of butter
milk.

Of some new kind OF potatoes would
furnish seed for quite patch next
year. One bushel OF seed oats would
furnish enough seed for number of
acres the next year.
This would give the seed an oppor-
tunity to become better acclimated
and he could select the best seeds for
home use, which is an opportunity that
seldom comes to a farmer who buys
seed from the seedmen who sell 1t
from the general crop which Is raised
by farmers especially for them.
Then there is always an opportun-
ity for farmer to sell choice seed
oats, corn or potatoes to his nearby
friends for better price than his gen.
eral crops will bring. The time is
coming when good seed will be better
appreciated by farmers.

CuItlvatlno Potatoes Late

The Virginia truck experiment sta
ton has found that the best results
in growing potatoes are obtained
where the soil is kept level during
the earlier civilizations, but as the
season advances earth may be worked
toward the vines by means OF winged
cultiyators In order to keep the tubers
thoroughly covered and free from sur
scald.
1t has also been found best to con
tinue cultivation as late in the season
as possible. Many eastern Virgins
growers do not stop cultiyators until
two or three weeks before digging IL
started.

BLUEJAY LIVES IN WOODS
Hawks, Owls and Other Birds Are
leased and Tormented by These
Noisy Birds.

The bluejay likes best to live in
thick woods, but it often comes into
open fields, orchards and near dwell
ings in search of food When it dis
covers you it assumes a proud and
angry air of conceit and defiance.
The bluejay's upper parts are pur-
plish- blue. The lower parts are pur-
plish-gray. The wings and tail are
bright blue with black bars. The tail
feathers are tipped with white. 1t has
a crested head.
The bluejay builds it's nest about.
twenty feet above ground. 1t is made
of twigs and fine roots. From four to
six eggs are laid. They are of green
ish drab color fiecked with brown.
Doubtless the bluejay helped to
name itself as it's common utteranco
is long drawn, Gay, jay, jay" This
cry, with the bright blue color, has
given it it's name.
While the jay sings no song it Is
able to initiate the calls of other
birds, by which means it often at
tracts them. 1t likes to tease and
torment the owl and especially the lit
tie sparrow hawk. This is done by
initiating the cry Of a wounded bird,
which draws the hawk near. Then
several jays will dart at the hawk
sQuealing and frolicking about in
great glee. Sometimes the play ends
in a tragedy, for the hawk pounces
upon one Of them to the dismay OF
the others. Jays may be Gagged and
tanned like crows and some writer's
say they can be taught to utter words.
