MONTEREY PINE MAKES A
HIT IN NEW ZEALAND

Foresters in the United States are
much surprised by the statement IN
the January issue of the Journal OF
Agriculture of New Zealand, just re-
ceived in this country, that Monte
rey pine "is by far the most valua-
bic and profitable timber tree that
can be planted" in New Zealand.
This pine grows naturally in few
very restricted areas in southern
California, principally in the neigh
borhood of Monterey Bay, with one
or two isolated areas to the south
and on Santa Catalina Island. While
foresters have known that it's growth
is comparatively rapid, the tree has
been regarded as practically value
less for timber, though it has been
planted to serve as a windbreak for
orange groves.
The reports G. it's behavior in New
Zealand, however, seem to make a
further investigation of it's value IN
this country we'll worth while. In
view Of the extraordinarily rapid
growth which the tree has made in
their country, New Zealanders have
given it the common name of ere
markable pine," and from the figures
reported by the New Zealand depart
ment of agriculture, industry and
commerce, this name seems to be
well merited. The claims for Mon
terey pine are yased on the phenom-
email growth which it has made in
plantations and the many uses 20
which the wood seems adapted.
In one plantation, for example, in
which the trees varied from &c to %
years old, one tree gave a yield If
l 400 board feet of saw timber and
the average yield of the plantation
was approximately 100000 board
feet for each acre. White pine, the
tree best adapted to forest manage
ment in the northeastern United
States, will scarcely yield more than
10000 board feet per acre at this
age. Loblolly pine, the most rapid
growing pine of the southeast.
makes not more than 10000 board
feet per acre in equal length Of
time. Another 27-year-old planta-
tion of Monterey pine in New Zea-
land yielded $4,000 board feet of
saw timber and 60 cords of fire wood
per acre, yet both Of these planta-
tons were on pure sand not suitable
for farming purposes.
One Trees Growth.
An Individual tree, only 46 years
old, was estimated to contain more
than 5000 board feet. Average white
pine trees of the same ag0 in this
country, whe grown in the forest,
seldom contain much more than 125
board feet, so that the figures given
in the New Zealand deport seem al
most incredible. 1t is known, how
ever, that certain trees, outside of
their native habitat, make remark
able growth, particularly in their
shown in some of the Australian Gu
calypts in California and in Brazil

Educational Notes

The teaching of home economics is
now required by law in the elementary
schools of Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana,
Massachusetts,, Montana, North Caro-
lima, Oklahoma and Washington.
When six normal school professors
at Fresno, Cal, found it was going to
cost 1907 to install the new play APP
paratus on the normal school grounds,
they got together and did it them
selves at a total cost of $25.
A course in social service for pa
rents has just been given at the Ma
tional kindergarten College, Chicago.
Visiting nurses, Fairgrounds, juvenile
courts. and social settlements were
some of the topics treated.

Close observation of 600 school

greater advantage in the athletics of

milk so remarkably, the same green
things fed in the winter should main

rightly and today we have thousands

it is profitable to do so.

BILE and develops the required power
to bring at least two noZZles up to
the 200-pound pressure. OF course
these are only adapted to small and
medium orchards, and should not be
purchased for large places.
There seems to be wailing and
gnashing of teeth among the fellows
who predict you can't put your hand
on a cherry picker of any kind when
all these new trees are in bearing.
We notice, however, that these So
called weather vanes do not happen to
have growing orchards of their own
and are looking for storms on a clear
horizon.
While some farms sold last fall at
good values, we still contend that the
real estate men ought to work toward
prices for the better class of land
adapted for fruit A farmer recently
left us a description of a well ap-
pointed farm between two lakes and
two-thirds cleared and fenced. The
land was high and lay well for or
chardS and within easy reach of the
station Now with every improvement
except a silo this farm was offered
at only $500 per acre. Can't we
devise some plan to pet higher price
for good places of this kind? They
are certainly a bargain at present
prices, as they are good for general
farming as well as fruit. Compare
Indiana corn land at $4,000 with this
$500 place and try to explain the
difference.

yields of Monterey pine reported for
New Zealand, the author Of the ar
ticle in the Journal of Agriculture
believes that Monterey pins can be
grown profitably in that country on
land worth upwards of $50 an acre,
even when there is a comparatively
high cost of planting.
Uses of the Wood. -.
In New Zealand the wood is said
to be used for practically all build
ing purposes except flooring. 1t
makes excellent lumber for boxes,
fruit packing cases, and for other
similar purposes. 1t is not durable
in contact with the ground or when
exposed to the weather implanted.
The behavior of this pine in New
Zealand has been so remarkable that
the forest service considers that a
further investigation of it's value in
this country would be well worth
while.

Do not attempt to rear deformed
and sickly chicks. They will simply

1t is an easy matter to overfeed
fowls, and poultrymen should bear
this in mind. They often have the
appearance of starving when they do
not need it at all.
The male bird is half the flock,
then how foolish to use one that is
not up to the standard o. idea you
are aiming for This means much 10
you and it is possible to improve
faster in this way than any other.
Poultry and dairy farming go we'll
together. In fact milk fed to poul-
try in all forms produces good re-
suits. Milk fed poultry in the fat
tening pens demand fancy price
over other fed poultry.
The Poultry Advocate says:
watch the crows, they find the tur-
key nests when you can't. Notice
the direction the turkey hen goes (if
she is bound to go to the other end
Of the farm for a nesting place. 4,
then go afterward and hunt for the
nest. You will have to be sly as the
hen or she will fool you. Do not go
to the nest while she is near. When
you remove the turkey egg put in a
china egg. Sometimes turkey hens
will lay their eggs in the hens
nests"

Testitg the Cow

Some feeders regard the old cow as
a machine which will do just as good
work on one kind Of treatment as an
other. They feed her just about as
they wOJld feed traction engine and
think as long as they keep the fur
mace full she ought to keep up a good
head Of steam all the time. In other
words, if they give her all she can eat
she ought to give her highest pro-
duction Of milk.
The full cow is not necessarily a
well fed COW and many of the bulky
foods are Objectionable when fed in
large quantities. 1t is unreasonable
to expect a cow, just because she is
full of hay or straw, will do good work
at the milk pail. These bulky feeds
are all right and are very necessary,
but q COW cannot handle enough of
them TO give a heavy flow of milk.
She must have at least half of all
the nutriment she needs for giving
milk supplied her in the form of grain
and this grain should be ground finely
and fed dry.
The heavy mixer needs a whole lot
of feed. 1t is easy to make the mis-
take of not giving her enough. Keep
her milk How up to its highest point
all the time.
Make the SilO Alright.
There are no secrets about making
silage, but there are few certain
facts that one should know before
building silo, the principle one be
ing that exclusion Of air is necessary
TO keep the silage perfectly. See that
the building is strong walled and ain
proof; then mack the silage well by
tramping during the filling operation
With these points looked after, there
should be no trouble.
Every farmer should have a milk
fever outfit 60 use in case of milk
fever. 1t saves calling a veterinarian
and often saves spelling a good mixer
before the veterinarian can reach the
farm. The outfit is very cheap and
easy to use. If any of our readers de-
sire detailed information, we will be
glad TO answer any questions.

the moisture which absorbs from
