MAKE BIG EFFORT
TO RENEW WOODLOT
When Second Crop Has Been
Cut Stumps Have Lost Vi
taIity-PIant Seedlings.

(By H. r. FLINT, Minnesota College OF
Forestry
Special effort should be made to Sc.
cure the reproduction of the trees re-
moved from the farm woodlot during
the cutting season just passed. In
many cases sprouts are counted on for
this reproduction and for certain pur-
poses such as fuel, posts and shelter,
they can be relied upon to furnish the
desired material. When this second
crop is cut in its turn, however, the
old stumps nave lost most, if not all of
their vitality and unless some vigor-
Gus seedlings have grown up in the
meantime, the value of the woodlot is
greatly impaired. Since it requires
many years to build up woodlot
which has been allowed to run out, it
Is wise plan to insure the production
of some good healthy seeding trees
each year by planting some seed of
desirable species in the openings Gre
ated by the winters cutting.
During early life the sprouts, be-
cause of the advantage of previously
established root system, will outstrip
the little seedlings and may deprive
them Of the requisite amount of light
for good growth. Therefore, in the
first thinning or cutting of the sprouts
some special consideration should be
shown the young seedlings.
The method Of planting the seeds
will depend upon the species used.
Walnut, hickory and all of the oaks
can be planted about two inches deep
in hole made with dibble or spud.
The smaller seeds such as red and
white elm, maple and ash may be
planted by removing the coarser litter
from a small spot and putting on a
few seeds, covering them very lightly
with fine soil and little litter.
In many cases it is better to raise or
buy seedlings of the species having
small seeds and transplant them in
the desired location.

1t was when the craze for afternoon
dancing had just hit New York that
Mrs. r. w. Hawkesworth made the
master stroke of her business career.
Several of the large cafes in New York
had begun what they called the the
dansant," and If you went into any
one of these places in the late after
noon before six you would see men
and women tangoing and trotting be-
tween the tables, indulging in what
they took pleasure in knowing was
the latest form of amusement. Every
one who had the price and who cared
for that sort Of amusement went to
these dances, and as there are all sorts
OF people in New York so there was
all sorts of dancing. That is one OF
the things that made these dancing
teas so successful
Still there were some ultra-conserVa-
tive New York people who liked to
dance in the afternoon who held back
from the snowy cafes. Their social
life centered about their own homes
or the large hotels. Tea drinking in
the palm gardens or Turkish rooms
of the palatial hotels had amused them
other seasons, but it seemed dull when
there was the possibility of dancing.
Mrs. Hawkesworth, part of whose
business it is to feel the pulse of so
Ciety, pondered over the situation and
then, with her plans made, she went
to the manager of one of the newly
open" | and largest hotels of the city.
Afternoon dancing has come to
stay" she told him. 80 far the only
place people can dance is in the snowy

The greatest value of sheep in an
orchard is found probably in their be-

If put in somewhat early in the
spring and fed a suitable supple
mentary food with the grass which the
orchard may furnish, it will be found
that the sheep VIII thus convey fer
tility to the land, and they will do so
in a marked degree if fed on rich
kinds of food.
Such food may consist very largely
OF wheat bran which is in itself a very
valuable fertilizer.
1t may be wise to encourage the
sheep to eat freely, to add little
grain in the form of oats.
A little oil cake will also improve
the food.
The droppings thus left in the or
chard will tend very much to its en-,
richment.
The outcome will be that where this

worth faced one of the hardest situa-
tions that a woman ever has to face.
She was suddenly left a widow and
without money. She had been used to
luxuries and was a woman of mature
years, without grain of business ex-
perience and with no means-so 1t
seemed-of earning an income. She
had been given a good musical train
ing as a girl and she had played the
piano as a pastime throughout her
married life. Her friends suggested
that she could earn a little by teach
ing music.
Mrs. Hawkesworth had the good for.
tune to know Victor Herbert She
had played as an amateur in ensemble
music which he had conducted, and
she asked him what chance she had
as a teacher.
Your gift lies in managing, not in
teaching" he told her, and she took
his advice seriously. She decided to
make her first money by getting up
a concert.

They would use a friends, drawing

one of this class. She decided she
would have none but the best singers
and that her patronesses should be
only women of wealth. The very day
she decided to give the musicale she
went unaided and unintroduced to
some of the biggest entertainers in
the world and before nightfall she had
drawn up contracts with Alma Gluck

involved $4,000, a sum which she could
not possibly have paid if the next steI

fruits and the surplus of the gardens
preserved in various ways. Now is
the time to plan your next years work.
Plum trees should not be pruned un-
til late winter, or in the spring before
the sap starts.
A patch of ground, even so small as
the eighth of an acre, planted with
the different kinds of berries, including
currants and grapes, and given good
attention and cultivation will supply
the average family with all the small
fruit that can be used, and enough
for winter besides. A few dwarf pears,
peaches, plums and cherries will vary
the product in an agreeable way.
The common wild choke-cherry
bears a dark red fruit in large clus
ters, which is much liked by some; is
an abundant bearer and small tree.
In spring it yields numerous fragrant
white flowers, and is worth growing
for ornament if for no other purpose.
For yard fence, try the hardy or
ange, Citrus trifoliata; plant in single
rows, IS inches apart. The bush is of
dwarf, compact habit, making one of
the most ornamental hedges, covered
in spring with thousands Of sweet
smelling orange blossoms, and in the
fall with lot of little sour oranges.
1t does not throw up sprouts.
Make a map of your fruit garden as
well as of your orchard, drawing ii
on stiff cardboard, or smoothly
dressed board, making every tree, bush
or vine, every row of small fruit, Civ
ing the names of the varieties.
This will be found of especial value
in case you wish to replace with the
same variety any which may have
died, or having found it particularly
satisfactory may wish for more.

and guarantee success if you will let
me have carte blanche. There must
be no Objectionable dancing and we
must cater to the conservative ele-
ment."
She named the commission at which
she would undertake this work and
told the manager of the hotel to let
her know what he thought of the prop
osition when he thought it over. The
hotel man decided at once, and before
many days had passed one of the ball
rooms on the twenty-fourth floor of
this big hotel had been opened for af-
ternoon dancing. The price of admis-
sion was a dollar and anyone who
wished might attend.
Started Subscription Dances.
Soon other hotel managers, hearing
Of Mrs. Hawkesworth' success, came
to her and asked her to do the same
thing for them. There is great deal to
do in managing these dances besides
providing music and suitable floor,
and they knew that it was better to pay
Mrs. Hawkesworth high commission
than to experiment themselves. But
Mrs. Hawkesworth wisely refused to
duplicate her achievements.
She had another plan. While these
public dances had gone-and are still
going-wonderfully WELL there were
still some society people of New York
who wanted something even more ex-
elusive. They would dance in the af-
ternoon at hotel, they told Mrs
Hawkesworth, if the dances could be
put on the subscription basis.
Hence Mrs. Hawkesworth opened a
set of subscription afternoon dances
at a hotel in New York, to which the
general public is not admitted but
which are attended by the most distin-
guished of New York society folk.
Mrs. Hawkesworth had come to be re-
garded as the genius of the afternoon
dance and demands came for her serv-
ices from far and near. So now in
