Thus it will be seen that it is
not very costly to do a hrst-class
job Of clearing on cut-over hard
wood land. The first cost of
clearing on pine land is cheaper
still, although the cost of stump
ing is considerably greater, de-
pending on the size and number
of stumps per acre. But the task
of clearing up a new farm is in
no way comparable to the task
accomplished by the early pion-
GERS, while the reward is much
greater, for which reason no

Where this method is followed
it is a wise precaution to clear a

NOTHING Is EVER DESTROYED
Matter Changes, But Docs Not Cease

Proves Proposition.

When a candle burns 1t Is not de-
stroyed. What seems like destruction
is merely change. Any one can prove
this for himself by very simple ex-
pertinent.
Take ;. glass tube ind III Z cork into
each end. Bore some holes In the low.
er cork, one of them in the middle
large enough to hold : candle. Bend
smaller glass tube to u shape, Ill it
with small pieces OF caustic soda and
cork one end. Now connect the two
cylinders by small glass tube through
the corks. Insert the candle through
the lower cork and suspend the whole
apparatus from one beam of the chem
ica1 balance. Weigh II carefully.
Connect the free end Of the u tube
to an aspirator 30 as to establish a
uniform current Of air through the
tubes. Remove the candle, light 1t
and instantly reinsert 1t. Let II burn
down until entirely consumed. Now
reweigh the apparatus. You will find
that 1t actually weighs more than It
did before the candle was burnt!

snags have been pulled, the brush
cut, and, together with the re-
fuse logs piled for burning. Fig.
3 shows the land as the lumber
men and wood cutters left it. AS
will be noted, this land is in con-
dition to permit the narrowing in
of grass seed, of which a mix
ture, including the clovers, alfal-
ia and timothy will be sown at
once and should make thick
stand for next years pasturing.
The stock, and particularly
sheep, which will run on this
and next summer, will thrive on
the excellent pasture and will at
the same time browse off all
sprouts which may start, thus
making the first cost the total
expense of clearing the land, ex-
cepting the removal of the
stumps when they have become
partially decayed, which will
take but a few years. In the
meantime this land will afford
the best of pasture for live stock
and will thus pay good interest
on its value and the cost of clear
ing. This clean job of clearing
was accomplished under the d.
rection of field agent w. F. Raw
en-, with the rather efficient la

Then sow grass seed, using a
mixture of the clovers and tim
othy on the fresh burning in mid
summer. The seed will be COW
cred by the late summer or early
fall rains, and at least partial
stand of these tame grasses and
clovers will be secured. The land
is not pastured the following sea-
son, but the grasses are allowed
to mature and scatter their seed,
thus thickening the stand which
grows rapidly about the stumps
and refuse logs, helping to has
ten the rotting process by hold
ing the moisture about them, in
which there is also beneficial
reciprocal action. The next sum-
mer the brush is cut and left on
the ground, and the land is pas
tured with cattle. In a few
years the grubs will be rotted
out and the brush and logs will
have largely decayed, so that it
will be a comparatively easy task
to clean up the land ready for
the pillow. 1t is claimed by those
who have had considerable ex-
perience in this method of clear
ing that the land can be finally
cleaned up ready for the pillow at
a total expense not exceeding

Clearing Up Neuu Land

pioneer forefathers. Yet the
task of clearing up a new farm
seems an almost insurmountable
one to the inexperienced man
who considers the proposition of
buying and improving a piece of
wild land. In reality, however,
it is not so great a task as it
looks, and a brief discussion of
the labor and cost involved in
clearing up new farm will not
be out of place at this time, in
view of the opportunities which
exist in the northern portion of
our state, and the fact that the
young men Of our older farming
ing communities know little
about the practical phases of this
problem.
Of course, the cost of clearing
cut-over land will vary greatly,
depending upon the lay of the
land, the nature of the timber
with which it was originally COW
cred and how and when it was
numbered. If there are pine
stumps on the land they will
eventually have to be removed,
as/time will make little impress
8 on on them. But the hard
wood stumps will rot out in a
few years if the land is cleared
and seeded, and for the greater
area t be cleared it is the cheap
err way to let nature aid in this
direction as did the pioneers in
an earlier day. Probably a small
area of even hardwood may be
profitably stumped at the start
in order to get land for immedi-
ate tillage, but much of the area
of the farm may be seeded and
used for pasturage for a few
years, when the task of clearing
out the stun1ps will be greatly
simplifed. 1t is of the latter
method of clearing new land that
the writer would comment at this
time, for the obvious economic
reason mentioned.
There are several methods in
vogue for accomplishing this de-
sired result in the clearing of
new land at minimum of labor
cost. One method is to cut down
any stubs or other timber, ex-
cept brush, that may be stand
ing and burn it over as Clearly
as possible IN a favorable time.
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1912-11-16

Years ago, when the pioneers
of Michigan were journeying in
to an almost unbroken wilder
ness, there to build a log hut, and
without aid or capital other than
their hands and the rude equip
ment which they could bring in
with them, start clearings here
and there, the proposition of
clearing up new land was a very
different one from what it is to-
day. The native timber was
slashed and burned, logged up
and burned again, and the clear
ing was gradually enlarged in
direct proportion to the labor
which father and the boys or,
perchance, the younger man un-
aided, were able to devote to the
laborious task. But these pion-
GERS did their work well; better,
in fact, than the succeeding gen.
Grafton, who, instead of coping
with nature in the making of fer
tile farms where forests stood be-
fore, have too often robbed the
soil of the store of virgin fertil-
ity which nature, aided by the
work of the pioneer, left them as
a bounty to be easily drawn on.
But of the pioneers of those
days but few remain, while the
type has passed on with the
frontier of improvement to re-
new the battle with nature and
leave further bounty for sue
ceeding generations. True, we
still have new" or uniinproved
lands in abundance, but no new"
country, as the pioneers of Mich
igan's early days knew it. The
railroad, the trolley, good wagon
roads which are quickly trav-
ersed by swift moving autsmo-
biles and over which heavy loads
are easily moved to market, to
say nothing of rural mail deliv-
cry and the telephone, are fact
ors which were wholly lacking in
pioneer life, as were the oppor-
tunities for remunerative en-
ployment which everywhere eX-
ist to supplement The slender in
come Of the new settler. Truly,
the settler in the newest" or
least improved portions of CIR
state can have no conception of
the hardship to be met and diff
culties to be overcome by their

After trip through portion of Mis- sissippi Capt Jack w. Johnson of the Seaboard and R. w. Morris, also of that line, returned to Birmingham yesterday.
 Captain Johnson said yesterday that II 4 was difficult to grasp the terror and
 fright that has laid hold of the people
 of that section and their utter helpless ness. He said that the camp being main- tained by the United States authorities was the only thing that had saved nun dreds of lives in that country.

 HANGED JUNE q
Death Sentence Pronounced Yesterday by Judge
 Samuel E. Greene

Tn the first division of the criminal court yesterday morning Judge Samuel F. Greene pronounced sentence of death on Armstead White, negro convict convicted of murder in the first degree an1 set the date of his execution cn June 21.
 White was convicted Friday after noon. He was already serving life sentence for murder at Flat Top when Ire committed the crime that sent him to the 5allows
 While at work in the mines he way laid fellow convict named Jim Minor. Hho was also conyicted murderer, and killed him by driving a mining pick through his head As his victim fell to the ground White again wielded his deadly pick and drove it into the body of his victim.
 When called before Judge Greene for sentence the negro displayed no emo ton and answereds the few questions propounded by the court promptly and in l matter -offact way. Judge Greene briefly reviewed the second crime for which ths prisoner had been convicted and when the sentence of death was passed he showed little concern.
 It is understood that White has given the wardens of the county jail some trouble and has intimated that they will have to kill him before the day of his execution arrives.
 White will not appeal and will hang on the day set by the court. He will be the first man to hang under Sheriff McAdorys administration.
