REFORESTATION.

Cone OF the best ways to assist nature
In the work of forest-building as TO plant
numerous small pine trees during the
Spring and fall, or, to be more exact, from
April to June and from September ID To
November Is Men who devote all of their
time to this and other woods work are
known as foresters, and that branch of
forestry which has TO do with growing
trees on waste land is called reforestation.
The first step in this interesting field of
work is the gathering of the seed Every
five or seven years the pine trees bear a
large crop of cones, and about the first of
October the seeds begin to fall from them
and scatter themselves over the ground,
for every seed possesses a gauzy wing by
which it is often carried long distance
after it leaves the mother tree Men
gather the pine-cones while green, and
later extract the seed by threshing
The following spring beds are pre-
pared, and In these the seed is sown during
the months of May and June. One pound
of seed will produce about 10000 small
trees, called seedlings When the seedlings
are two years old they are usually trans
planted, ard at the end of another year or
two they are ready to be planted per-
manently on the rough mountain-sides, or
wherever there is any waste land, and from
that time they muot fight their own way.
They are planted SIX aet apart One man
makes tho holes wl.l a mattock, and two
other men follow, placing tree in each
hole and stamping the dirt firmly about
the roots. BY this method over thousand
trees can be planted on an acre of ground
in single day
after the first few years the trees
begin TO grow very rapidly becoming at
the end Of ten years as high as a mans
head or higher In 20 to 80 years they
begin to resemble real forest, and few
then can be removed and sold as lumber
