RE-CLEAR FIELDS
OF SCRUB TIMBER
Brush Hacked Down, Burned
Over and Then Cleared by
Pasturing to Stock.
0Ry A. ]. LEGoO

There are many old fields that have
been thrown out years ago, and have so
grown up with scrub timber, green
briers and other filth that 1t looks to
be almost an impossible undertaking
TO reclear them.
II II is undertaken to kill them by
zrubbing out briers and brush It is In
deed hard Job, and the briers will
sprout for years, but, II the brush is
hacked down and let dry, then burned
over, the land can be effectually
cleared by pasturing 1t with cattle and
sheep.
A few years ago had a field over
grown with green briers and pine.
There were patches of green brier so
dense that II was impossible to get
through them. let alone grub them out.
These thickest patches we're burned
through. The fire killed other briers,
then in few months they, too, would
burn, SO | made II a rule that when
ever | found Patch of green brier
dry enough to burn would set fire to
II.
The pines we're all cut down and as
soon as they got dry, they. too. we're
burned.
The briers we're kept down by the
stock grazing over them.
Whenever a young brier appeared It
was ripped up. BY the end of the third
year the brier roots we're all rotted and
the pine stumps were pretty well rot
ted so that the land could be plowed.

How parnsIl Lem ,hs World.

Among the curious characteristics Of
Parnell as leading statesman was his
capacity for avoiding publicity. 1t is
not only that he disappeared for
weeks and months. But he evidently
achieved the habit in early years OF
cutting himself OF at will from the
outside world. At the first meeting
with Mrs. o'Shea In Palace Yard he
confessed that he had not answered
her invitation to dinner because he
had not opened his letters for days"
There are probably men who, like
myself have achieved the art of now
and then cutting of communications.
Telephones, kilograms, letters will
pour IN upon you IL you let them. But
recommend the Parnellite method
When you have something else 10 do
ignore the telephone bell, leave your
letters unopened and even when the

envelope say there is mo answer" I

The Mentally Defective.

In a recent contribution TO the Illi-
nois Medical Journal H. H. Goddard
calls attention to the prevalence of
feeble-mlndedness and says: The
Importance OF this problem is recog-
nized In an instant when we learn
that at the veSy lowest estimate %
per cent Of our criminals belong to
this class. Perhaps 30 per cent Of
our prostitutes are feeble-minded
girls; the same is true of our paupers,
our drunkards, our ne'er-do-wells; In
fact, we now recognize that a large
percentage OF the various classics Of
people who make cur social problems
are mentally defective. Twenty
per cent is a minimum estimate, while
It has been shown that in all probable
ity so per cent is much nearer the
truth, and it may run even higher. A
superintendent OF one reformatory for
men estimates that rs per cent OF his
inmates are feeble-minded: careful
tests of the girls In reform school
have shown ~ per cent feeble-minded.
In fact. wherever there are any statis-
tics it invariably points to the higher
figure"

lar, so that space is economical t.
the best advantage.
The material for the walls is con.
crete, preferably run in molds with
provision made for dead air spaces,
on the hollow wall principle, as this
makes the warmest house because II
prevents dampness. And 1t is the
cheapest construction II you take last.
ing qualities into consideration.
A massive effect is given by the
heavy loggia piers. And this loggia
by the way. is considered one of the
most attractive parts Of the whole
house. The square openings are cas-.
fly fitted with fly screens, so 1t il
adapted for an outdoor summer par.
lor; and the size is sufficient to be OF
some use. as 1t is 10 feet wide and 20
feet long.

A great deal has been said lately
about intensive farming. and farmers
have been urged to confine their ener,
gies to smaller areas and to give bet
ter cultivation and more attention to
details. All these principles apply
with equal force to fruit growing. The
curse to the fruit grower is an ambi
ton to possess quantity rather than
quality and to widen his field of opera
ton without a corresponding degree
Of labor.
In the West, where fruit growing
has been carried to far greater per
lection than here. FIVE acres OF orchard
without small fruit or vegetables, are
considered enough to call for all OF
one mans activity.
Intensive fruit growing means the
cultivation Of comparatively small
areas and the application thereto ot
such labor as will produce a maximum
Of fruit by the exercise of scientific
methods and careful attention TO de
tails. II is a system much more salts
factory and profitable to the grower
than the old extensive one, and when
ever II is given fair trial there will
be no departure from It.
Dwarf pears may be set quite close
together. They can be planted even
In the hedge rows, not over three feet
apart, with advantage and profit. Such
row presents a beautiful sight wher
In full bloom, and the close planting
with its consequent of not too rapid
growth. is a preventive of blight.
Currants are appropriate in tree
rows, because they rather like a par
tial shade; and the strawberries re
ceive enough sun while the trees are
young not TO be injured.
There are two essentials In this
system OF thick planting; one is suf
fcient labor intelligently directed, and
the other is heavy fertilizing. A grow
er In the East is said to produc,
$4,000 worth OF fruit on FIVE acres o
ground, but these acres are SO vel
kept that they have the appearance o
huge garden.
More, hand labor is called for. be
cause the horse cannot be employed
SO generally and because more atten
ton must be paid to particulars
Weeds must be crowded out; there Il
literally no room for them. There ar,
rows of trees. and between them il
the rows are the smaller fruits Of al
kinds, The middles between th'
trees are closely occupied by grapes

First Floor Plan.

was covered with a fine wire screen.
Shelves were built in this fruit room
against the outside wall, from near
the cement floor clear up to the cell
ing. AS the room is eight feet SIX
inches long this gave considerable
shelf room; and 1t proved splendid
place to store canned fruit, butter,
eggs, and such groceries as person
likes to buy in quantities and keep
on hand.
The fruit room and the pantry
above were connected by means OF q
dumb-waiter. which has just a box
about foot square and three feet
long, vertically open on the front side,
and fitted with two shelves In the
middle. There was pulley near the
ceiling In the pantry, and rope with
a counterweight on the other end
which balanced the box so that II
would slide easily up and down. With
this convenience II was never neces-
sary to tote things up or down cellar
Only one trip below was necessary at
any meal time. Very often the box
itself contained everything needed,
and II was only a minutes work 10
pull II up into the pantry.
Another feature in this little house,
that Is quite new, Is the stairway
built around the big chimney. 1t not
only looks we'll from the large living
room, but II occupies the least impor-
tant corner OF the house; and II lands
you upstairs IN the middle OF the hall.
