The Grand Union Herald shows US a
picture Of giant trees in California. The
big trees are found in ten groves, these
trees being the largest In the world.
Some of them have been found to be
thousands of years old. Full grown
trees average height Of 275 feet and a
diameter OF 25 feet. One Of the most gi-
gantic, cut down in 1853, was 302 feet in
height, 98 feet in circumference. The
bark was 1S inches thick. The stump
was used as a dancing floor-holding
forty or more persons. A portal cut In
its base large enough to allow the pas
sage of big stages. These trees are
claimed to have been discovered by q
man named John Bidwell, In 1S41. They
are considered wonders of the world.

Orchard Improvement.

Taking care of the orchards in Oxford
County is becoming infectious. No mat
ter which way you drive you see indica-
tions of it, and the orchsrdists are get.
ting busy pruning, scraping the dead
bark from the trunks, painting the
wounds, etc. Many Of them have ap-
piled the dormant spray, and nearly all
are planning TO spray when the buds
show pink for the apple scab, and after
the petals fall for the codling moth, real
izing that il these two sprayings are
properly done they can reasonably ex-
pect 95 per cent perfect fruit. Spraying
the trees at this time has more lasting
benefit than many seem to realize; IL has
q tonic effect on the leaves, making them
larger and more vigorous, and they viii
stay on the trees from ten days to two
weeks later In the fall than on unsprayed
trees. This in turn means stronger
fruit buds for the next years crop.
Nearly all are going to use the com
mercial lime sulphur as fungicide, and
lead arsenate for the iusecticide, 1t bav
ing been demonstrated many times thai
this solution is safer to use in the or
chard, especially on those varieties
which are susceptible to rust. Where
this has been used, at the rate of l gal
Ion lime-sul phur to 40 gallons OF water
with Q IL pounds lead arsenate added,
have seen but very little injury to eiehel
fruit or foliage. Many Of the orchard,
are being plowed, and will be fertilizeC
for both size and color, they realize &c
we'll that those two factors dstermin'
the price which they will receive for tho
apples in the fall.
/ think that It is safe TO say that there
was never time when the orchard In
terests were 80 fully aroused In OXFORD
County as at the present, and when al
were determined to do their best e
bring the fruit industry to the standard

A New National Forest.


The purchase of three new tracts for
national forest reservations has recently
been approved by the national commits
sion. One of these tracts is In New
Hampshire, aud includes 1900 acres on
the western slope of Mount Moosilauke,
which is classed by the government au-
thorities as one of the peaks OF the
White Mountains, though 1t Is some
distance from the central portion OF that
group which we Maine people generally
mean when we say "White Mountains. "
With the approval of this tract the TO-
tai acreage for national forests In the
White Mountains will amount TO some
1000 acres. Many people do not know
that these reservations include quite an
area on the eastern slope Of the Carter
range, the gateway to which is in OK
ford County, including the somewhat
famous Wild River region, although the
reservation itself is entirely in New
Hampshire.
In connection with this reservation,
the following from the Gorham Noun
taineer is of interest:
The United States forest service is get.
ting started on it's work on the national
forests in the vicinity of GOrham for the
season of 1918. The Wild River section
is receiving considerable attention just
now. A large crew Of men has been
sent there. A wagon road about eight
miles long Is being constructed from
Hastings into the heart of that region.
The old dump of the Wild River railroad
is being utilized, the old ties being re-
moved and the dump smoothed up. It
will be necessary to build two bridges,
one of which will be about fifty feet long
and the other about sixty feet, 10 addi.
ton to the smaller bridges and culverts.
At Blue Brook will be established the
"first station" and there substantial
three-room house will be built for the
use Of the man who Is in direct charge
of the forest This will also be used as
base of supplies. From this station
telephone line is being built to Gilead.
It Is the intention of the forest service
to construct trail from the end OF the
logging road which leaves the Glen road
at the two.mile bridge over the Carter
range at the lowest point between Mount
Moriah and Imp Mountain which will be
a short cut to Wild River.

BENJAMIN A. Ring.

After bis decease, interment, and q
brief synopsis Of the person had been
given, 1t was supposed nothing more
would be required; a. he was thought
to be Q man who pursued the even tenor
OF bis way, and 30 he was generally
speaking; and yet he possessed some
characteristics peculiar to himself, and Q
few Of these will be briefly mentioned by
request.
Benjamin Albert Ring was born IA
years ago In Casco, this state, and be-
longed to family Of six children equally
divided in sex. he lived on q farm with
the other members Of the family, at
tended the district school and there ac-
quired common school education.
Arriving at manhood, he still re-
mained on the farm during the summer,
but In the meantime had learned the art
or science of cooking, so that he soop
found employment In the logging camps
for that kind of work, hich he followed
for many winters.
Some time during 1853 Mr.. Ring mar
ried Ann Milliken, but instead OF set
Ting on farm he, like Abraham OF old,
seemed to prefer sort of nomadio style
of life by hiring or taking a farm on
shares for only year or two. In this
way he drifted north until be reached
Greenwood, which was about forty years
ago. Here be followed In the same line
as formerly, working on farm In sum-
mer, and winters cooking in a logging
camp.
Some thirty years ago they hired him
on the town farm, where he remained
three years, giving good satisfaction 80
they wished him to keep the job; but by
that time he got tired of that kind OF
work and moved away.
Mr.. Ring was not only first class
cook, but also an expert in almost any
kind of work in the house or out doors.
One OF his sons told US recently that
when he was boy his father spun the
yarn, wove the cloth, then cut and made
him suit of clothes out OF 1t, doing
every stitch of the work himself.
Should any one ask why he did so
much of that kind of work, which natur.
ally belonged to the wife, 1t was because
they had large and growing family and
she had no time for that kind of work.
This worthy couple had ten children
born to them, two of whom died young,
while eight are still living, six sons and
two daughters; all Of whom are married
except the youngest son, who is 20 years
DID, carries the Woodstock mail. There
are also eighteen grandchildren and four
great. grandch children, thus bringing their
descendants up to the number OF thirty.
In politics Mr.. Ring was Democrat,
and in religion Methodist, as Is also
bis widow; and it is pleasing to learn
hey always lived up to their profession.
