Of several years, each cutting taking
from one-third to one-half the trees.
These cuttings allow the remaining
trees to receive more sunlight and
thus encourage them to produce more
seed. Neither of the first two cuttings
should be so heavy as to encourage
the growth of weeds or grass on the
forest floor The third cutting should
be made after the seedlings are es-
tablished and there is NJ further need
for protection of the Old trees.
Scattered old trees, suppressing val
liable young growth, often will be
found in woodlots Srch trees will
never be of much value for lumber
and their widespreading habit often
results in the suppression or killing
Of the young and better-formed seed
lings, which frequently may be of
considerable value 1t is best in such
cases to remove the old trees at
once.
Pasture and timber production can
not be practiced on the same area,
except to the disadvantage OF each,
and the combination will not be as
remunerative to the owner as the prac-
tice of either one separately. Cattle,
horses, sheep or goats eat young seed
lings, trample them out, or brush
against them and break them off.
Hogs eat the seed and thus prevent
reproduction from starting, or root
young seedlings out of the ground.
The existing growth is damaged
through the trampling or wounding If
the roots and the compacting of the
soil so that it is impervious to water.
Horses should be kept out of the
woodlOt entirely because they often
peel the bark from trees and eat the
young shoots. When young growth
is not desired, few head of cattle
are permissible, provided, however,
that the ground is not soft when they
are turned in. Hogs may be used to
aid reproduction before the time for
the seed to fall. They will root up
the ground and thus put it in good
condition for receiving the seed
coats ana Sheep should be allowed in
the woodlot only when it is necessary
to clear up brush of undesirable
species.
Care should be taken to keep fire
from getting into the woodlot. This
destroys the fallen leaves and accum-
ulated litter of several years, thus do
ing away with the very material with
which the trees enrich their own soil.
Burned-over ground becomes exposed,
evaporation is greater, and more of
the rain and melted snow runs off the
surface. Leaf or grass fires usually
destroy the young seedlings up to one
inch in diameter and also do great
damage to other trees in the stand.
especially by making conditions favor
able for the entrance of reproducing
fungi.

cutting will rarely pay directly for
ment in value of the remaining stand
makes the work good investment.
The presence of dead or dying trees
in the stand, a very dense interlocked
crown cover, stems very slender in
proportion to their height, or appar-
ent stagnation in the height growth,
all indicate that a thinning is needed.
This usually is done when the stand
is from Is to 20 years old. The oper-
alton is similar in principal to thin
ming any other farm crop where it is
desired to obtain few good plants
rather than many of poor quality. The
owner should use the ak with care,
removing only trees which crowd 9th
ers and cause too great competition
for sunlight Material removed in a
thinning is valuable for fence posts
and poles and should pay for the op-
Grafton. AS rule, not more than one
fifth to one-fourth of the trees should
be removed at one time. Grapevine,
ivy and woodbine, and similar climb
ers which have grown into the trees
should be cut out by severing their
main stems near the ground.
In the second type of woodlot the
trees vary greatly in age and height
and the stand is largely dominated
by old trees, whose tops shut off the
sunlight and retard the growth of the
younger trees beneath. Such a tract
should first be cleared Of dead and
diseased timber. Next, the mature
living trees should be removed. This
should be delayed, however. until suf-
feient reproduction is started in the
openings made in the first operation,
and marketing conditions permit a
satisfactory sale. Heavy stands COM
posed almost wholly of mature trees
should net be removed all at once IN
less the owner expects TO provide for
the new crop by planting The old
trees should be taken of in two or
three successive cuttings At intervals

RIGHT CONDITION FOR SOWS
Three Rations Suggested by Nebraska
Experiment Station-HaVe Alfalfa
Hay Accessible.

Brood sows should be taken away
from the rest of the hogs and be fed
a different ration. Three rations sug-
gested by the Nebraska experiment
station are:
% One part high-grade tankage, u
parts corn.
(2) Skim milk or buttermflk and
corn. using three parts of the milk
to one part of corn.
90 Wheat and shorts.
Whichever ration is used, a rack
con, lining alfalfa should be so placed
that the hogs have free access to the
hay at all times. In addition the sows
should be supplied with minerals. 1t
is a good plan to dump the wood and
coal ashes in the lot where the sows
run. A mixture composed of a bas-
ket of charcoal or fine coal, five pounds
Of salt, five pounds of air-slaked lime,
and two pounds of sulphur will give
good returns if kept easily available.

ment of Agriculture.)
A cash return for the wood grown
on the farm woodlot is just as posi-
BILE as a profit on other farm crops.
Farmers often lose sight of this fact,
mainly because timber requires only a
small amount of labor but a long
period of years to bring it to- mar
ketable condition Often, therefore,
the owner is satisfied with an annual
supply of dead firewood, and the wood
lot becomes a harboring place for in
sect pests and meager pasturage for
roaming live stock. Yet Improvement
of the woodlot depends upon just a
few simple principles which any farm
er may learn and practice. These are
contained in new farmers bulletin,
No. I'll, published by the United
States department of agriculture.
Improvement of the woodlot begins
with the cutting out of all dead and
diseased timber Then the mature
merchantable trees should be re-
moved, like any other farm crop, when
conditions favor a sale. New trees
should be planted in the open spaces
to grow up and fill in the forest can
opy and encourage the growth of tall,
straight timber.
Woodlots may be divided into two
classes. each determined by the char
acter of the stand. On one type. the
trees are a second growth of approx
mately the same age and it is found
that undesirable species are crowd
ing out valuable trees, the former
should be cut to allow the unhampered
growth of the better quality tim

her courteous manner and answer
without a tremor in her voice, Il shall

does not mean to be unkind or to
reduce the salesgirls weekly wage.
She is simply careless. While it is a
fact that the careful woman must
search patiently, often, to be sure she
is getting the value for her money
which has been put together slowly
for mOnths-and try on many to secure
the right one, yet she should be frank
with the salesgirl, telling her she will
buy if she finds something to suit at
such and such a price or that she is
intent on seeing at present, not on
buying. No embargo will be placed
upon her for looking about to her
hearts content.
1t is a subtle temptation to many
a woman to behold herself arrayed in
finery she never will own, before long
French mirror. She thinks of the pic
ture she made, dreams of it, covets it..
plans, schemes, and. startling as it
may seem, it is the cause of her undo
ing. She throws over the poor but
honest young man who loves her for a
wealthy elderly sutton whose gold
when she weds him, can buy her the
sumptuous clothes which changed her
from a merely good-looking girl into a
royal beauty.
Saleswomen who have spent long
years studying human nature in their
occupation usually have unerring judg-
ment in regard to possible customers
Or those who would uselessly waste
their valuable time. They know when
they are apt to be ruthlessly imposed
upon and when women are in earnest
in an attempt to make wise selec-
ton and purchase.

expensive catalogue, regardless of cut,
