In some parts of the Canadian

a trif1e monotonous. To the native

In some cases the orchardist ought
to employ disinterested person to do
his packing.
Line the fruit basket with burlap,
two or three thicknesses, to prevent
bruising and scratching.
IL tries a mans eyes and his hon
esty as well to see all the worm holes
when packing his apples.
The high-headed tree is easier to
cultivate, but the low-headed tree
makes the fruit picking easier.
The bushel box is a favorite with
the average family, because it suits
them better than a barrel at one time.
IT is generally true that self-pollinat-
ed fruit is not as large or vigorous as
fruit from crossed-fertilized blossoms
on the same tree.
The unsightly trees with rotted and
SPi'' tioNthCo W NC seen everywhere
might hav~ been saved had they been
pruned to form central stem.
Never leave sharp fork, that is, a
branch which extends at right angles
out from the trunks. Such forks gen.
orally split down sooner or later and
destroy the entire tree.
The ground dries out more quickly
under a Rgh-headed tree and more
fruit is blown off by the wind. When
you find cross branches rubbing each
other cut one of them out.
Some fruit commission men who
nave very particular trade are
learning that they can get more for
apples packed in barrels without
heads than when packed in the usual
way, and pressed down tightly.

These are samples of the questions
that every farmer should be able to
answer to his own satisfaction before
attempting to dispose of his wood lot
products. Even then he may be at
a disadvantage when dealing singly
with purchaser who is more expe-
rienced In such matters and may have
more or less control over the local

owners In the disposal OF their timber
Is consequently as necessary as In the
disposal Of their fruit, vegetables. or
grains, and is frequently the only way
In which they can secure its full value.
Above all, the secret Of success in
handling the wood lot, lies in the rec
ognition OF the fact that trees are q

/ prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Most farmers already own wood
iots every farmer ought to own one
Yet the wood lot is frequently not a
paying proposition financially. and ia
almost never as profitable as it should
be. Why? Simply because the farm.
er does not realize it's true value. AS
a result he neglects to care for the
trees during their life, and is at dis
advantage when it comes to selling
tnem. Any effort to improve present
conditions must, therefore, take these
two facts into consideration
|, The essential point for every farm
er to recognize, is that the trees In
MS wood lot are just as much a farm
crop as are his corn, oats, hay, or 9TH
er products. Moreover, they have
many advantages over other crops-
tney require comparatively little care
and labor; they can be harvested dur
Ing the winter when other work is
slack; there are no storage charges
on the crop because trees can be left
standing without deterioration an in
definite time until they can be sold
profitably or used to advantage on the
farms; and they furnish protection to
buildings, to cattle, and to crops, from
WIND, drought and frost.
Unquestionably, then, the wood lot
deserves better than the present neg
lect, or often worse, to which it Ia
now subjected. No farmer would think
Tor a moment of burning over a crop
of young wheat Yet that is Just what
many do with their crop of young
trees. Nor is the damage confined to
the young growth; even the larger
trees, though seldom destroyed out
right, are weakened so that eventually
they Will fall prey to insects, fungi,
or wind; furthermore, the fertility OF
the soil is greatly lessened by fires.
Every fire that runs through a wood
lot is direct source of loss to the
owner. The absolute exclusion Of fire
Is, therefore, the first and most i'm
portant step in the rational manage
ment of the wood lot.
Closely connected with this is the
exclusion of stock, which do much
damage in destroying and retarding
young growth, particularly of broad |
Ieaf trees, and in packing down the |
soil and exposing the roots of trees. |
Finally, the farmer should select the |
trees to be cut in such way as to
improve rather than impair tie wood |
Iot Too often the reverse has been
.he case and the wood lot has de-
'eriorated steadily through the re-
noval OF the best trees, leaving the
ess valuable species and poorer indi-
to take possession of the
ground. No knowledge of technical
'orestry Is necessary to enable the
armer to recognize the trees which
ire defective, crooked, unusually
or Of undesirable species: or

proved to be a dry hole. The entire
