The difference between the practical
work under ordinary numbering and
conservative numbering is chiefly In
the selection Of the trees to cut, in
Telling them, and in the first part of
their journey from the stump to the
mill. Under working plan the trees
to cut are chosen in such a way that
when they are zone the forest will
suffer but little from their absence,
because their places will be taken by
Others as quickly as possible. Usually
the trees selected are first stamped
with a marking Ratchet to prevent
mistakes, and then the next step is to
cut them down.
A tree may be felled either with the
AK or with the saw. In either case the
first thing to consider IL the height
above the ground at which the cut is
to be made. High stumps needlessly
waste the best timber in sound tree.
Low stumps are slightly more difficult
to cut, and therefore a little more ex-
pensive, but the additional cost is
more than balanced by the gain.
When the trees are down their
lower branches are chopped off and
the trunks are sawed into logs. When
this has been done the logs are
dragged away by horses, mules or
oxen, or in some cases by long wire
rope which is wound on the drum Of
a donkey engine. This is called
"skidding the logs" In this way they
are collected in piles called roll
ways or assembled In YARDS or
otherwise made ready for the next
step in their progress to the mill.
Care is needed in skidding not to rub
or tear the bark from the valuable
standing trees or to break the young
growth down, for much harm is quick
ly done in this way

THE GROWING PHILIPPINE
rRAnE.

The Phil,S3tnes grow as fine a coffee
- the highest grade Mocha, the high
est priced coffee in the world. The
superiority OF Philippine coffee is
shown by the fact that their exports Of
this crop sell on an average for double
the price We pay for our coffee i'm
ports.
Philippine coffee enters our ports
free Of duty, but we are forced to ex-
pend over 37o,000.o0o year in South
america for coffee which we would
gfadly buy in the Philippines and
thereby make them the richest people
Ia the world.
We annually import Sic, 900, 900
worth Of cocoa, cocoanuts and copra-
ali Of which attain the highest state OF
perfection in the Philippines. and
which could furnish enough for the
worlds markets. They export these
articles only to the extent Of $4,000, 900
. year. and again we are compelled to
send our millions to other countries
rather than to tho Philippines

not suitable for making buttermilk
cheese. The curd from such butter
milk is always so fine grained that Il
runs through the draining cloth and
Is lost.
The food value of buttermilk cheese
is high, when it's low cost is consid-
cred. It is very palatable when eaten
alone like cottage cheese, seasoned
with salt. pepper. paprika. or when
used in Salads. On account OF the
smooth texture OF this cheese 1t can
be spread like butter on bread and
made into sandwiches. Because Of It's
fine buttermilk flavor 1t is generally
preferred to cottage cheese by con-
sumers.-J. l.. Sammis.

may be supported without poles in
this manner. Stakes. from which
wires or strings run, should be driven
in the ground very early. SO the roots
of the plants will not be disturbed;
The beans should be at least Is inches
apart in the row and the rows should
be 8 feet apart.
Wire, of course, makes the best
support, but very strong, hard
twisted Irvine that will not stretch In
the damp weather will answer the
purpose.
The supporting posts may be set at
any distance apart, according to the
strength of the pole supporting the
wire or Irvine. An excellent support
Is gas-pipe. but>cf course this Is too
expensive for a large garden. but may
be used to advantage in the average
small garden.

wasteful, for they ara thinner and
make narrower kerr. Hence they
are taking the, place Of the circular
saws, although they do not work SO
rapidly. Many mills, in addition to
their band saws or circulars. use gang
saws. which cut out several boards at
the same time.
Besides lumber, the best sawmills
produce great quantities of larn and
shingles, made either from small logs
called bolts cut specially for that
purpose, or from slabs, edgings, and
other pieces of wood which might
otherwise be wasted. But In spite Of
every effort to prevent waste in the
mill by using sawdust and other
refuse for fuel, and in other ways.
very many thousands of tons OF wood
a year are thrown into great burners
as the cheapest method of getting 1t
out of the way.
When the lumber has been sawed
lit may be piled and seasoned In the
yard or kiln-dried before it Is sent to
markets or sold at the mill. Some
sawmills on Puget Sound are buils on
piles over the water, so that the lum-
Der is loaded into vessels directly from
the saws. Others load their product
on the cars and distribute it by rail.
Still others on the Pacific slope float
their timber away in a narrow wooden
trough called a "fume," through
which flows a rapid stream Of water.
These fumes are sometimes over 40
miles in length, and cost almost as
much to build as a railroad. Many
sawmills have connected with them
planning mills or woodworking fac
tories of other kinds. SO that the
rough lumber from their saws is
changed into the form Of finished
product before it reaches the market.

The red raspberry should not be
summer pruned, excepting that the
old canes should be cut out at once
after the fruit has all been picked In
thu spring the weak shoots should be
removed, and not more than eight
canes allowed to plant. The best
berries will be found on one-year
wood, and they should not be. allowed
to fruit more than three years. This

rALLEsr TREE IN THE WORLD

The tallest tree in the world is the
Australian eucalyptus. reaching a total
altitude of $50 feet. The biggest are
the mammoth trees of California, some
Of which are 27e to-s76 feet in height
and 1Os feet in circumference at the
base. From measurements of the
rings 1t is believed that some of these
trees are from 1000 to $500 years old
The Oldest tree in the world is said to
be on the island of Kos, off the coast
Of Asia Minor. It is several thousand
years old, but just how many no one
has dared to say. The tree Is carefully
preserved by wall of masonry around
it, and the trunk is thirty feet in cir
conference.

Editor Times:
On Saturday you had an item
in your paper about the change Of
car service at Fern Hill.
The Fern Hill Improvement
club had asked Mr.. Bean for bet
ter car service. In response he
appeared before the club meeting
at the school house last Friday
evening.
His proposition was to take
cars from the people living south
of Fern Hill station on the Spana'
way line and give to the people
north of station; in other words
a bait with a hook in it.
There were from 40 to so peo'
pie In the room the majority not
members of the club, but vitality
interested in this move, 80 the
chair ruled that only members had
a right to vote.
The votes were called for and
about half a dozen responded, sc
the chair decided the proposition
accepted by the people of Fern
Hill.

HEROES OF PEACE.

Those opponents of world peace
who expressed the fear that the race
might lose its rugged courage and
physical bravery if men should learn
war no more, see acts of herOism be-
lying them every day.
The records of war have written
down no finer heroism than that of
Battalion Chief William J. Walsh
and his firemen in the Equitable
Building blaze last week. A cOnfla-
grafton threatened; the cold was in
tense; ice covered streets hindered
them. The fire did not spread from
the Equitable Building; and Chief
Walsh died in the fight.
No less courageous were the bell
boys in a recent Pasadena, Calf, hO-
tel fire, who fought their way
through binding smoke and rescued
the child of a guest.
In every blaze (and they are hour
Iy), in every incident, we have new
evidence of unselfsh courage. And
the most sublime heroes are those
who fight the battles of life without
sound of arms, who dare to do right
when they are the only witnesses.
The battles of peace require no
less physical bravery and moral cOur-
age than those of war.
