TIE FARM WOOD LOTS.
Greater Tn Extent Than Ait the Forest
 Preserves Tn the United States.
Bv GIFFoRB PINeHoF.

This is a time of awakening. Every where new ideas are meeting hespit= able trea tmene and are gasasng ground. Little hv Mttie the fact that the farm has a larger place Ia the national ec0uOaaN than merely to furnish the raw material ef food and clothing has come fvs be recognized among us.
 Nuf less striking than the growing in terest .n the farm is the growing ap- preCiation of the forest and we re- aiize fully that net only through the ,siipDlvins of timber. but by its con-, f1,ei ,svve@ streams and winds, it's func- tion as a preserver of the soil against erosion and in many other ways, 1t is a national necessity, When therefore the farm and the forest meet we have a question of the most genuine public iunor1Snce>
 We are accustomed to think of the national forests as enormous in area, covering as they do as many acres as al the New England states together with New York New Jersey Penn sylvsnia, Delaware, Maryland and Vir- Einsa, Yet the~area' of forest in farm CTS wood lots is larger still, while the farmers themselves are the largest class of direct users of the forest,
 The wise handling of the wood lot, eMmR~&lr@, is a matter of grave con- cp-- to the farmer as well as to the nation. Wood lots differ so widely 1n the kinds, the age and condition of trees Of which they are made up that it is extremely difficult to lay down &sfuite rules. for handling shem.
 First o< al. leave some trees of good R4nds for seed IL is natural to cut most heavily the best timber, but the result of that is always to diminish the number and therefore the seed producing capacity of those best trees In the forest We must be careful that the most valuable species of trees have a chance to reproduce their kind.
 Second remembebr in thinning the forest. the important point is not how closely together the trunks of the trees stand, but how much they inter fere with each other in the tops Thin frr should be done strictly with refer erce to the tops of the trees, and the location Of the trunks with regard to each other may safely be disergarded.
 Third when q tree is down, if there Is young growth on the ground upon which it falls, the top should be cut up and the branches pileds as soon as possible. Young trees bent down, but soon released, recover speedily. Young trees long bent over may be perma nently ruined. and the less cutting that is done while leaves are on the trees the better for the future of the forest.

SUCCESSFUL FARMING ON SMALL

What Efficiency and Pluck Gan Ac-

By ". B. MERGER,

Farmer and Live Stock Raiser
 "A striking example of what can be accomplished on small acreage well handled came under the writer's obBer- vati0n few years ago.
 A newcomer lande:3 in 8 small town ln aD all cCttCn section about the time cOttcn growing was at it's lowest ebb. The farmers naturally were looking for some new crop to substitute for cotton and tomatoes were selected The people went wild, and all decided to 1ut in large acreage the newcomer with tne rest. 4 majority knew noth- ing about growing the crop from a ding it. A small crop poorly packed of an inferior grade and niserabIy handled resulted in an absolute failure Involving everyone in debt.
 The newcomer had just bought on credit thirteen acres of land. with caoir cn it. and at the end of the sea- son he was ~inEoived for more than $3,00o. What to do was a serious question.

He also set out a straw berry patch a fruit orchard, planted early corn, sugar cane ard sweet and Irish potatoes Every thing did well that year, and the second year strawberries, cabbage. to-
