A Well Of Wisdom.

A Well OF Wisdom.
The Office boy that we employ
Is helpful in the strife.
If we were slow we'd never know
The vital things of life.
He's right in line, as We opinc,
With all the latest songs.
And when work drags his lively rags"
Inspire the iadcd throngs.
He has late news of racing crews,
Knows all about the teams,
And always tries to put us wise
To everything, it seems.
The office boy we much enjoy;
OF wit he has a flow
Oh, but for him life would be dim
And we would little know.
o
The father keeps the boy his son
by making him, when young, his
friend, As the years run by, the sis
ter keeps the brother, the brother
keeps the sister, in love less by the
blood-tie than by the words and
works and trusts of friendship. And
in the marriage itself the early love
must ripen into close, abiding, in
most friendship. The happiest mar
riages take place gradually, and go
on deepening all through the life
together.-W. G. Gannett

White Pine Growing Is Profitable.

The growing Of white pine, says the
q. S. Department of Agriculture, IN
bulletin recently issued on the subject,
Is profitable undertaking at Q per cent.
compound interest. To bring in these
returns, the trees may be cut when not
more than from So to 20 years old.
The original white pine forests are ap-
proachiig exhaustion, according to the
department, and with the growing scare
ity of large sized, high grade white pine
lumber, lower grades now find ready
market. Besides this, the tree grows
rapidly, has be vyyield, and is easy to
manage.
Second.growth white pine, so years
old, Oh good soil. may yield as much as
$1,000 feet Of lumber per acre. On me-
dunn soil, stands OF the same age $4,000
board feet, and even on poor soil, $4,000
feet. White pine lockwood lumber, one
Of the chief products of such stands,
sells for from s12 to SIS thousand board
feet. Material for making matches, an.
other product, sells for from Sl7 to slS
thousand. Even larger material, suit
able for sashes and blinds, some OF which
may be cut from a 50-year old stand,
brings from $50 to S35 thousand feet.
Second growth white pine, the kind that
Is found on thousands Of abandoned
fields and pastures in New England, and
that which has sprung up after lumber
ing in many places where the original
white pine forests stood, has value to-
day, says the department, that makes 1t
well worth the attention Of the owner.
Too often, caution the forest officers,
the farmer or other landowner sells
second growth white pine stumpage for
less than it is worth because he does not
know how much lumber the stand Is &C
tuslly capable Of yielding, or else is ig-
norsnt Of the price the lumber and other
products will bring. Too often, also,
the foresters say, the owner of second
growth falls 10 realize that perhaps by
holding bis pine trees for few years
logger, OF By thinning it properly at the
right time, be can obtain a great deal
more aud better timber, and consequent
lyamuch larger relative return in money,
than il he allows IL to be cut clear when
the first opportunity offers.
Tie beat second-growth white pine,
As years old, will yield about 1900
board feet per acre, but the same stand,
when 55 years old. will yield $1,000 feet,
An increase Of $4,000 feet per acre in IL
years. And this Is not all, for along with
the increase in quantity comes an increase
In quality. Not only more, but better
timber is to be had. Counting In this
factor OF quality, the lumber from an
acre of beat white pine, 81 years old, IL
worth about $1,000 against a value OF
$3.50 when the stand is 40 years old.
