The largest pictures should have first
choice for the most important wall
space. Pictures should never be hung
way up near the molding or over doors
and windows. Such an arrangement
gives a topheavy appearance to the
room and prevents the pictures from
being plainly seen. The largest and
most important pictures should be
hung so that the horizon line is five or
i've and a half feet from the floor.
One should strive always to have the
pictures ON a level with the eyes when
standing upright Never hang q pic

Growing Trees For Profit

Farmers Week Course. O. OF M
Trees a. q crop on the farm have the
advantage over most other crops in that
they do not require any previous prepara-
tion Of the site on which they are to be
planted, nor do they demand the addi-
tion OF any kind of fertilizer. Moreover,
after planting they require very little at
tention in any way for many year,, and the
soil on which they grow is improving
from year to year, both physically and
chemically.
The fact must be borne in mind that
trees are longtime crop. They can not
be planted one year and harvested the
next. as is the case with many agricultural
crops, but require long period OF time
for their growth and development.
Care should be taken to select land for
the growing Of the forest crop that is the
least valua BILE on the farm, both with re-
spect to soil and topography, for the trees
will grow on almost any soil, and on topo-
grsphy that is too rough or too steep to be
profitably cultivated.
For quickest returns, the planting OF
young transpiants that have been grown
for not less than three years in forest
nursery, is far more desirable than any
method OF direct sowing Of the seed on the
area to be reforested.
These plants may now be bought from
state and commercial nurseries for from
$50 to $50 per 1000. In the case Of
white pine, they should be planted six
feet apart in each direction. This will re-
quire 1910 trees to the acre, but it is
safest in ordering to allow for l250 for
each acre to be planted.
1t is essential to keep the roots OF these
plants moist until planted, and in plant
ing they should be kept IN an upright
position, not leaning to one side, and well
frmed down into the soil.
With the exception of protecting the
plantation from fire and from grazing
animals, it will require but little attention
for the next ten years. A cleaning should
then be made, in which the undesira BILE
trees should be removed ana the better
ones allowed the full benefit of the site.
AT about twenty-five years q thinning
will yield merchantable material enough
to al least pay for the cutting, ana the re-
naming trees will be greatly benefited by
its removal. In this way an intermediate
return is obtained that is usually entirely
lost, especially in the case Of natural
woods.
The remainder Of the stand should be
cut at about fifty years. when it will yield
the highest returns on the money in
vested, and q new crop should be started
in its place. II allowed to grow for .
longer period, the increase in compound
interest charges against the crop will more
than counterbalance the increase in growth
after that period. Up to this time, under
ordinary conditions, the investment will
have paid compound interest at the rate
OF per cent. or s per cent. and . profit
over all expenses Of some ESQ per acre.
This, it will readily be seen, il . good
investment that will comp are very favor
ably with other crops on the farm, when
considered for an equal period Of time.
