RARE CASE OF TAXATION
Forestry Department Finds Tim
Der Lands Useful in Study of Tax.
Expect Tint 1t VIII Throw Light ON
Doubtful Points-FOresterS Aim to
Make Extension Work of Gen.
cral Help tG Farmers

Assistant Forester r. A. Chandler was
back in his office Monday after a trip
to Newbury in the interests of the State
forestry extension work which his de-
partment is endeavoring to make of wide
benefit to the farmers OF Vermont gen
orally. In aU-acre stand of timber
owned by DR.. George Chamberlain of
Newbury, Mr.. Chandler found rare OPP
portunty to study taxation problems in
their bearing upon forest land.
II has been difficult says he. to form
close estimate of the taxes on wooded
land. in their relation to the final value
of the timber growth. The large tracts
held by lumber companies have changed
hands many times, the timber land on
farms of ordinary size Is usually taxed
In with the rest of the farm property
and where there is "A clear record of
taxation on a stand of timber for many
wears it frequently happens that there
was originally an old growth of forest
on the land
In the Chamberlain property, however
the land has been in the family for life
time. it has been appraised separately
from other lands, and 1t was originally
cultivated before it was permitted ft
the rates in force annually for 80 years
past. For these reasons 1t offers very
uncommon opportunity to gain informa
ton as to the relation of taxation to IN
come, and the state forestry department
expects to obtain new light on points Of
doubt in this line.
Mr.. Chandler spent the greater part o
two days with DR.. Chamberlain and othe
owners of South Newbury timber land
taking up their individual problems will
them and it Is his intention to continue
this extension work throughout Vermont
as occasion demands.
The Chamberlain timber land. Tx
ancient Gaul, was divided into tire
parts" One-third Of it was cleared
years ago so clean that only hardwood
bushes have since grown in. Anothe
third has grown up so thickly in Whit
pine during the past 40 years, that IL !
not commercially profitable to thin II GU
as the judgment of the foresters woul
direct, the smaller growth which need
to be removed not being large enough I
be useful as box wood, while 1t inter
feres seriously with the proper growth
the larger trees
"Why not cut the larger trees wa
asked of State Forester Halves, AN
thus let the smaller ones grow to fu
eize?"
Il am glad you brought up that point
he replied. 1.-The question Is one that W

She folded her hands and prayed oGod.

pious man to bring him brcadT"
Yes answered the mother, but

Looking into the room, he was pleas

why is your door open so late?'
Mrs. Van Loon quickly rose and
dropped a courtesy to the gentleman;
then, taking Dicks cap from his head
and smoothing his hair, she answered,
with a smile, My little Dirk has done
it, sir. that the ravens may fly in to
bring US bread"
All, indeed" he exclaimed cheer
fully; Dirk is right, Here is a raven,
you see, and a large one too. Come
along, Dirk, and I'll show you where
the bread is"
The burgomaster took Dirk to his
house and ordered his servant to put
two leaves and a small pot Of butter
into a basket. When the other little
children saw the bread they began
dancing and clapping their hands. The
mother gave to each of them a thick
slice of bread and butter, which they
ate with the greatest relish.
When they had finished their meal
Dirk went to the open door and, tax
ing his cap from his head, looked up
to the sky and said, Many thanks,
good Lord And after having said
this he shut the door.-Sphere.

there was erected in the middle Of the

HOLLY FOR THE TABLE.
Pretty Ideas That Make Christmas

Dinner All the More Enjoyable.
If not much time can be devoted to
the work Of trimming the Christmas
table have simply for a c~enterpiece a
low bowl filled with holly twigs and
the red berries.
At each cover place a boutonuiere Of
the holly for the men merely a but
tonhole spray; for the wouen a larger
'corsage bouquet tied with scarlet
ribbon.
But with an hours work something
more elaborate may be evoked from
the Christmas green's. For example,
the centerIiece may consist OF three
Wreaths joined together and laid along
the backbone OF the table. The CEN
tral wreath must he considerably lar
ger than the other two. and all three
may be Of holly or, prettier still. the
larger wreath Of holly. the other two
of some decorative ferns. In the cen-
ter Of each wreath is arranged a low
flower bowl containing rich red carna-
tons or roses.
Here is an idea that will please the
children Arrange Il large central
wreath of holly aud. if the table is round
aud large enough to bear it. another
wreath Just inside the covers. Within
the smaller wreath place i small White
image Of Santa Claus III a sleigh
drawn by ]reindeers and fill the Sleigh
with small candy snoWhalls.
