Practical Forestry Work.

The people of New York have planted
this year II, 900, 900 forest tree seedlings,
which means that over 5000 acres OF land
has begun to earn from 81 to " an
acre per year. This has been made
possible BY the fact that tho state has
taken . direct interest In its waste iano
and has started forest nursery where
seedlings are raised and sold to the
people OF tho state ut cost prices. New
York is Justly proud of this record, but
at this rate 1t will take nearly 400 year.

Farm Buildings.

In the Eastern states barns and other
outbuildings are made by climatic con-
ditions a very necessary part OF farm
equipment. It has been said that set
of farm buildings wears out and must be
replaced with each generation. Whether
this is the case or not, 1t is true that the
cost of interest, insurance and repairs to
maintain efficient farm buildings Is no
small part Of the cost Of producing farm
products.
In order to keep this cost as low - pos
sible everything should be done to insure
efficiency. When new buildings are to be
put mp they should be built In harmony
with their purpose and be made ~ con-
yenient % possible. They should then
be kept In such repair a. will protect
them most efficiently from the elements
and preserve them as long a. they are
useful. This is only good farm economy
- practised by our best farmers.
In our better Eastern farming sections,
especially In the best dairy sections,
there are many barns which are unusual
II we'll planned and are built for the
greatest efficiency In the room afforded
Tor storage and the labor required to do
the necessary work about them. These
should serve - models for the commun'
Ity. New ideas In regard TO barr
efficiency are constantly being found
out and put into practice.
Many Of our old barns are models ol
what barn should not be. They seem
to have been thrown together with little
or NO regard to convenience or economy
of time and space. With such equipment
the cost Of production 10 increased, and
such buildings should be remodeled at
the first opportunity. Think It over

uDexil,s Paint Brush. "

About twenty five years ago the orange
hawkweed, more popularity known az
"the DEVILS paint brush," was intro
duced into this country from Europe,
probably for ornamental purposes. 1t
belongs to that class Of plants which live
for more than two years (perennials),
and this, together with the fact that 1t
reproduces itself both by seeds and by
runners, has made 1t an exceedingly bad
weed. Where q few years ago 1t was
hardly seen it is now spread over large
areas, In many cases occupying whole
fields.
Several methods of destroying this
weed have been recommended and are
more or less practicable on small areas.
The plants may be hoed or dug up, and
where this is done just a. the plant Is
blossoming and before the seed ripens 1t
is an effective method of getting rid OF
the " eed but 1t Is practicable only IN q
small way. Sailing is frequently resort
ed to but it cannot be used on large
areas either because of the expense,
three thousand pounds being required
to treat one acre properly. Neither 10
it permanently effective, az the weed
comes back in again In q very few years.
1t is commonly said that orange hawk
weed "runs out the grass" but there 10
plenty of evidence to show that this is
an erroneous impression. Paint brush
is cbaracteristicslly q poor land weed.
and 10 never serious pest on fertile land
in good condition. 1t is one Of the first
weeds to seize the opportunity to estab.
lish itself on land which has been allowed
to run down in fertility and In physical
condition. This is not because 1t will
not grow on good land, but because 1t
is not vigorous enough, to compete
with the grasses. Good cultivation
easily destroys It, and this is the best
method where 1t 10 practicable.
Where it 10 impracticable to piougn
the land and to establish rotation, the
best way to combat this weed is to put
the land in such condition as will be
most favorable to the growth Of grass.
As an acid condition of the soil is un-
favorable to most grasses, and especially
uufsvorable to clover, 1t 10 usually wise
to lime the land. II the grass 10 pretty
we'll run out 1t will pay to SOW on some
seed in the early spring. Professor
White, of Cornell, recommends tho fol-
lowing pasture mixture: Timothy, 8
pounds; Kentucky blue grass, 4 pounds;
redtop, 4 pounds; red clover, 8 pounds;
alsike clover, 8 pounds, and white clover,
1 to 2 pounds. At the same time 1t 10
we'll to apply liberal dressing Of manure
or high grade fertilizer. This will not
kill the weed, but will make the soil con.
ditiou more favorable for an abundant
prowth of grass, the competition OF which
will make It impossible for paint brush

Alfalfa ID Maine.

| Alfalfa ID Maine.
Somerset County farmers have proved
that alfalfa can be successfully and
profitably grown in Maine, and the
Skowhegan Jersey creamery 10 trying to
Introduce Ii among all Of its patrons.
The Skowhegan Board Of Trade recently
sent committee among the farmers to
find out jnst what was being done In the
growing of this crop, and what they
found convinced them that IL 10 . crop
worth introducing among all the farmers,
and they will take some action In this
direction at once.
Elmer Rowell, of East Madison, took
q piece OF land that was Of sandy loan
where he had potatoes the year before
and sowed alfalfa seed In August, and
the next year he was able to get two
crops Of fiue feed. he was bothered
somewhat with weeds, but knew that he
could overcome that, and he did this
year.
Roland T. Patten, proprietor of Eaton
in the county, sowed about three-fourths
Of an acre. He put the seed on plot
where he had had sweet corn the year
before, the soil being Of sandy loam. He
dressed the piece we'll, and in June Of
this year, after planting his seed In
August the year before he harvested bis
first crop and obtained at the rate OF
two tons to the acre. he will harvest
two more crops this season, equally as
good, he says.
o. D. Wells, q big poultry raiser In
this county, sowed . small plot OF
alfalfa last August on Q very dry piece
Of ground, IL being purely sandy loan.
He dressed the piece with phosphate and
some dressing. He harvested his first
crop In June, with two tons to the acre,
and will have two more crops.
The best results by any farmer In this
part of the state, though not in this
county, and one who has been raising it
for three years, have been obtained by
Ernest Croswell of Pennington Falls.
Mr.. Croswell is q merchant there, and
having small plot Of ground and wish
ing to make the most Of 1t and II possible
to get feed enough from 1t to feed COW
for the year while in the barn, decided
after reading about alfalfa in the farm
papers that he would SOW the piece to
alfalfa. The ground was old and had
been used a great deal. Contrary to
the general rule he fitted this ground In
the spring by dressing it we'll with barn
manure and planted his seed in May.
The following May he cut bis first crop,
when it was thirty inches tall, and re-
ceived at the rate of two tons to the acre.
He cut three crops that season. The
next season he cut the first crop the
latter part of May and cut at the rate OF
over two tons to the acre, the stocks be-
Ing thirty eight inches tall. That season
he cut four crops and had enough from
q plot by 6 rods to feed his COW during
the whole year while In the barn. UP
to June this year he has harvested one
crop, and during July he will harvest
the second crop and two more during
the year. He sowed new plot this
spring and 1t is doing as we'll as the
first piece. His idea 10 that the land
should be we'll dressed, as we'll as other
crops, and alfalfa can then be profitably
grown in Maine. John E. Taylor,
Skowhegan, Ne.
