! all OF the ground that is to be planted
by blowing shallow burrows, in the
bottoms of which the plants are SET
This partial preparation of the soil IA
ciiitates the work of planting, enables
the plantations to establish them
selves much more quickly than on UNI
prepared ground, where grasses and
weeds are strong competitors for pos
session Of the soil, and results in
minimum death rate. The burrows are
made from five to six feet apart, and
the cost per acre of blowing varies
from little less than so cents in
comparatively clean, open ground to
about 81 in situations where there IL
q considerable amount of brush fallen
logs and other debris. We have found
however, that this cost is just about
offset by the increased efficiency Of
the crew when planting in burrows.
Planting is done by what is known as
the silt" method the instrument used
being a planting iron of our own de-
sign and make. A good working crew
consists of from twelve to sixteen men.
Each man carries a pail of plants and
planting iron and individually per-
forms the complete operation of set
ting the plants. Once the men have
become accustomed to this method, q
crew will average, under ordinary con-
ditions, about 1870 or year old
seedlings per man per day.

The species most extensively planted
are White and Norway pines, since
these are unquestionably well adapted
for general planting in Michigan.
Scotch pine also being used to some
extent and does exceedingly well. For
merly only about 1900 plants were set
per acre, but within the past few years
all OF our operations have been on the
basis of 1000 per acre. The latter fig
ure makes ample allowance for any
ordinary death rate, and close plant
ing enables the trees to obtain COM
plete possession of the soil in a much
shorter time. Furthermore, the extra
cost occasicned by liberal use of the
plant In the first place is less than the
outlay for subsequent reinforcement OF
the open spots that are likely to result
from wide spacing.

NO WOODEN NUTMEGS."

The prevalent notion that the Am
erican manufacturers is out for tn,
dollar regardless" has done him great
injustice. Sometimes this old scanda
is faced up in a practical test, and then
il is unusually found that the Ameri-
can manufacturer has the goods"
Worlds Work tells OF practical
test in Buenos Aires not long since
\ shipment of plows from Europe had
been received and an American sales
man felt perfectly certain that the
American pillow is better. He boldly
demanded a test. The plows from Eu-
rope were exact duplicates Of the Am
erican, and rather better in finish.
The salesman placed some of them to-
gether. called a powerful workman and
ordered him to swing with all his
strength with a ten-pound sledge upon
the share of one Of the American
plows. \ note as clear as that of a
bell rang out. but save for the patch
OF red paint that came off on the ham
mer head, the share was unhurt.
w men the operation was repeated
upon one Of the implements from Eu.
rope the first share was completely
shattered, Thinking that possibly the
faultiness Of this share had been an
accident, perhaps of overtempering.
the dealer ordered the workman to
swing upon the second sample. This
blow demonstrated that the imple-
ments from Europe were not consist
cnt in their effectiveness, for this
share doubled up under the blow.
The writer picturesquely adds that
there were tears in the eyes Of the
American consul who witnessed the
test, but, az he wrung the salesman's

READ THE PAPERS.

While this war is on read the daily
newspapers. Read, read, read, You
will never again witness the progress
of another such war 1t is the
mightiest conflict Of the century. So
long as YOU live nothing like it will
happen again.
And get your children TO read about
it and to inform themselves about its
details. If they live to be a hundred
years old they will not forget it. I'm
Ill the day of their deaths. no matter
how long they live, they will regard
it as the supreme historical event of
their generation.
Read, read, read!
But read carefully and with discern
ment.
Watch out for the official state
ments Of the several governments in
volved. Each government will color
its own official statements TO suit its
own purposes, but none of them will
depart very far from the truth; and
YOU can lepend on il when the kaiser
or the admiralty or the French gov
eminent issues an official statement
there is something back of it.
And, above all, get a map Of Eu-
rope, and get all of Europe in one map.
Don't bother about separate maps OF
Germany and France and Russia and
Austria. You get more comprehen-
sive idea of the whole thing from
single map Of all Europe than from
separate maps Of the several countries
involved.

If the two kaisers seem likely To win.
then in sheer self-preservation, Italy
will have TO throw her weight in the
opposite scale; for only in this wise
could she escape vengeance for what
Berlin and Vienna regard as her
treachery.
ltalys power is considerable. Her
navy is the second strongest in the
Mediterranean, the French being first.
Her army on a peace footing numbers
100000 men, and she is expected to.
put 100000 modified troops in the
field in case OF war
Her geography forbids any sudden
of her troops for an over
whelming offensive blow, but with the
help of Servia, Italy should be able to
find employment for every soldier in
Austria Hungary. This would leave
Germany alone To face the task of
France, Belgium and England

the kitchen. This is the conclusion
reached by the expertsin the Depart
ment of Agriculture, who have been
charged with the duty Of making a
careful and conscientious study OF

Investigations of prisons, insane

seem to prove the fact" they say,
'rhat the conditions which account
for the existence of these institutions
are often found in inadequate and
unhappy farm homes. Better farm
homes are needed. Pleasant and
comfortable farm homes tend to
hold families together. But the

How to Prevent the TObac-
co SplitwOrm.

Washington, d. q. Feb. g.
Transplant the tobacco crop a:
early as possible in order to mature
1t before the appearance of the most
destructive generation of the tobac-
co split-worm, advises bulletin No.
IS of the Department of Agriculture,
In making recommendation for the
control of this worm. When the
early infectation is severe, prime off
aud destroy the infected leaves; de,
slroy all tobacco stubble as soon as
the crop is harvested to prevent the
breeding of alternating generation
clean up and destroy all trash IN and
around fields and tobacco barns; do
not follow potatoes by tobacco if the
lnfectation of tobacco has been more
severe in such cases than where diff
ferent rotation was followed; grow
potatoes as far as possible from to-
bacco fields.
In Cuba and the United States the
splitworm is known on tobacco as
leaf-miner only. Only the older to.
bacco leaves are affected unless the
infectation is very severe; and In
these, the lower leaves, grayish, ir-
regular blotches are produced, which
later turn brown and become fragile
40 that the tobacco is unfit for wrap
bers. At ClarksviIIe, Tennessee,
where the infectation is very slight,
the larva IN most cases begins work
in the "ruffles" along the midrib and
they afterward migrate and form
mines in various parts of the leaf.
