TYPES OF BABY BEEF COWS

In selecting cows from which baby
beef is to be produced, says the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, three very important factors
should be kept in mind:
1. The cows should have at least
u fair amount of beef blood. Pure
breds are not necessary, but two OIL
three crosses of such breeding is es-
sential. Cows with a preponderance
Of dairy blood will not do for the
production of baby beef.
2. Cows best suited for this type
of breeding usually weigh 900 pounds
or over in thrifty breeding condition.
So long as early maturity is not sac
rifced, the heavier cows are the, most
suitable for baby-beef production.
Size of frame rather than weight
should govern in selecting cows
which are to be used for this purpose.
3. The cows used to produce baby
bceves should produce enough milk
to keep the calves fat and growing
without much additional feed up to
weaving time.
In addition to these three factors,
such things as constitution, unifor-
nifty of breeding, color, size, and
early maturity should be considered.

it will not pay to ship them. Elec-
trio interurban lines offer the same
opportunity for disposing of ties as
do the steam roads. Telegraph and
telephone lines are always on the mar
ket for poles. Electric power and
electric street railways companies
also use poles.
The market for piling is not very
extensive, but railroads, large con-
struction firms, and docking COM
panies purchase considerable quanti-
ties. Piling timbers, which must be
straight and long, bring good prices.
Mines are large users Of timber.

and vegetables package factories Of

and qualities of the woods they handle

The Forest Service has prepared
tries of a number of States which

are put and the quantity used an
nually for each purpose. A list of
these bulletins and information as to
how to procure them may be had up

Ways of Selling Products
The way in which farm forest pro
duets are sold may have good deal
to do with the profit an owner gets
from his tract. There are four ways
of selling: Q) BY scale measure
ment of rough products; (2) by the
piece for such products as ties and
poles; (3) by the boundary, for a
lump sum; and (4) by lumber scale
of sawed products.
Selling by the log or piece is the
simplest method. Ties, poles, ping,
ect., are always sold by the piece.
The important things to know are the
different grades of each product and
their relative value. Fire wood, pulp
wood, and excelsior wood are sold
either by the cord or rick. This, too,
Is a comparatively simple method of
marketing. To be sure of selling
profitably by boundary for a lump
sum, the owner must make very
careful estimate of the amount and
value of his timber.
When to Cut Timber
In the majority of cases the best
time to cut timber is in the winter
months. Winter-cut timber seasons
slowly and evenly, and by the time
warm weather comes is air-dried.
Products which must be peeled, how
ever, such as ties, poles and tan bark,
should be cut in spring, when the
bark peels most easily. Veneer logs
can be cut in any season of the year,
provided they are delivered without
long delay after being cut, and the
ends are painted to avoid rapid dry
ing and checking of the wood. Pulp
wood and tanning etract wood may be
cut and shipped at any season of the
year.

INCOME FROM WOODLAND
is ASSURED BY PROPER CARE
Good Money in Timber if Farmer Will Take Pains to
Find Out What and How Much He Has and Lo-
cation of Best Markets


A source of regular income laying
at the door of many a farmer, but
too often neglected, is the farm wood
land. With increasing scarcity oil
lumber, and with excellent prices now
proper care of the wooded area OF
the farm will amply repay the farmer
To secure a fair price for his tim.
Der the owner should know how much
material he has and for what purpose
it is best adapted. The frts thing
for him to do, according to the For
est Service of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, is to find out
how much timber of each kind the
woodland contains, what products il
will yield, and what is it's general con-
dition and quality.
If the wooded area is small, it will
be best to measure each tree separ-
ately The diameter should be mea-
sured at about Az feet above the
ground with calipers made for the
purpose. Heights should be careful
ly estimated, or measured with some
sort of height instrument to the first
large limbs. Knowing the diameter
and height, the amount of timber in
board feet in each tree can be found
by the use of volume tables. Such
tables are included in Farmers Bull
letin IT'S, Measuring and Marketing
Wood-lot Products, which will be sent
free on application to the Department
of Agriculture. The quantity of cord
wood tract will Yield can hardly be
estimated by an inexperienced person.
Sales of such material will usually
have to be made on the basis of act
ual cut.
Measuring on Large Tract.
If the woodland is large it will, of
course, seldom be possible to meas
urc each tree separately. In such
cases every tree may be measured on
parallel strips 66 feet wide running
through the tract Every $50 feet in
length of such strips comprises an
acre. Averaging all the acres com
priced in the strips and multiplying
by the total acreage of the tract gives
the total stand. The stripes should
include at least 10 per cent of the
woodland. Proper allowance must be
made for defective timber. Dead
trees, except those killed by fire or
other outside agencies, are apt to be
very defective and should be culled.
When the tract is exceptionally large
it may pay to employ a professional
Cruiser" to estimate the timber.
If the owner depends altogether
upon local industries to buy his pro-
duct, he is likely to find his market
extremely limited. Some products,
such as crossties and feul wood, have
to be sold locally; it would not pay
to transport them far. But other pro-
ducts, among them tan bark, can be
$50 miles and still others,
like walnut timber for gunstocks, can
be shipped almost any distance.
Railroads Large Purchasers
Railroads are the largest purchas-
crs of crossties. Any station agent
will furnish information concerning
specifications and prices. Electric
in cities and towns also use
ties, but unless the distance is short

HINTS FOR
MARKETING APPLES

In the successful marketing of bar
relied apples much more depends on
proper handling tl.an many growers
realize. If the orchardist does not
learn the right time to pick his fruit
he will find himself contributing to
that already large total of marketed
apples that bring little or nothing be-
cause picked too soon or too late.
Likewise what appear to be very
slight bruises in the orchard may
prove costly when the apples reach
the prospective buyer. Another mat
ter that must not be overlooked is
the manner of placing the fruit in
the barrels. They should be deposited
by carefully cmptying them from
their receptacle in such way that
they will not fall into the barrel.

American independence yesterday
France really celebrated the new pact
OF alliance The country a. a whole
is delighted with this pact. Already
it has brought a new kindness into
the personal relations between the
French and Americans as individuals,
particularly as regards the French.
Theirs Ia the greatest danger and
gratitude. The representative of a
French company against which filed
a claim for damages six months ago
for lost trunk called yesterday and
countries are allies" the company
was disposed to settle the matter
amicably.
This is a specimen Of the present
state Of mind and the same attitude
runs through all classes Of society
from the old nobility to the peasants
and workmen. During the war the
United states was not an allied. but
an associated power. The distinction
was not lost upon the French people
Now. however. they seem to feel that
we actually belong to the same fam
lily. and they are ready, accordingly.
TO forgive US what they consider our
many minor faults. For France, be it

ereign nation like ourselves. and she
considers her ways of being just as
superior to foreign ways as we con-
slider ours Her present disposition
to overlook the differences between
us, therefore. springs from a spirit
of real gratitude
There is not the slightest doubt
that the country as whole warmly
favors this alliance, and while the
people realize that the United States
may refuse to ratify. they have not
yet begun to envisage this as q seri-
GUS possibility. Only two currents OF
criticism are manifest. One comes
from the reactionaries. who merely
object that the terms of the pact are
not sufficiently strong. The other, az
might be expected. comes from the
socialists, who are bitterly disap.
pointed over what they regard as the
failure of the peace conference to es-
tablish "A real society of nations and

NO country escapes the law of work.
We provide YOU with the conditions of

START ROAD CONGRESS

Motor vehicles brought new road
problems to the old world, as we'll
as America. France was the first
to realize it, and invited the world,
to join in the first International Road
Congress, which was held in Paris
in 1908. Delegates from twenty
seven countries were present.
This congress discussed every sort
of road making and paving. Among
resolutions passed by it was one urg-
ing the necessity Of good road found
ations. They also urged: A con-
tinued trial of tar and other blum
in0us binders for broken stone roads;
that repairs to ordinary macadam be
confined to filling up only the bad
holes until general resurfacing is
need; the choice of comparatively
dustless material for original con-
struction of roads; further expert
ment with emulsions Of oils and tars.

Neils Anderson was in from

anxious to see the right thing ap-

body at Rexburg last fall, and his
friend had occasion to make some
drives in the country where they had
crowned the roads with some kind Of
grit or gravel, and that friend of his
put the jitney over the road at a
rate that kept him looking ahead
to see where they were going to land.
He was accustomed to slow down
every little ways to get over high
bridge or rough culvert and this
Rexburg fellow was burning the air
and splitting the wind all the way
and no humping the bumps. He said
they passed monster loads of beets
jogging along on the trot and big
