An understanding of the elementary
principles of farm forestry will en-
able the farmer TO market his timber
far more proftably than it Is done on
the average farm. In the Southern
states. and in many other sections of
the country as well, high-grade logs
Of such trees as white oak, yellow pop
lar. red gum, ash. cherry, and black
walnut can usually be sold in carload
lots direct 10 manufacturing plants,
ever though these are located at some
distance. Many local log-using plants
buy in lots as small as a wagon or
truck load. In the South clear logs

inches and up In diameter are most
profitably sol to sawmill plants es-
pecially equipped for Guartering and
veneering woods. High prices at load
ing points make it wasteful TO put
such logs to ordinary use at home.
Paper Pulp Wood.
Large quantities of pine are cut and
sold by southern farmers for paper
pulp wood. Yellow poplar and cot
tonwood, red gum, tupelo and others
I'm less amounts are used for the same
purpose, according TO forestry special
lists. The wood must be pealed and
Is usually marketed In 4-fOot lengths
and 8 to 10 inches In diameter. Pulp
wood is sold by the cord, and the
prices usually range from about 81 TO
So for pine and from So TO 50 for
poplar, cottonwood, etc.
Farm Timber Product.
Railroad ties have long been q
standard farm timber product. AS a
rule. however, the price represents
only fair wages for cutting, hewing,
and hauling, with little return for the
timber itself. For example, q tie z
inches by s inches by So feet long, if
sold at so cents, when the items in the
cost of manufacture are taken into
account, would have q value equiva-
lent to the same amount of lumber
valued at $16.50 q thousand board
feet. This is q low figure for white
oak. 1t is often q mistake to cut a
young tree for one small tie when
in a short time the tree could produce
two ties.

ANIMAL FOOD IS ESSENTIAL
Any Of Elements in Ration
Stimulating Eggs.

Many poultry fiocks which receive
an abundance of fine quality grain do
not lay many eggs in the winter due
TO a lack OF animal food like sour
milk. buttermilk or beef scrap. Many
experiments by practical farmers
prove the value of both beef scrap and
sour milk in the hens ration. At the
present price Of grain and eggs the
farmer can hardly afford TO neglect
any of the elements In the ration
which enable the hen TO pay for her

The "Enfant Terrible"

1t always interests US to learn how
we look to other people. 1t is often
good for US to find out some of the
things that other people can see in us.
which escape our own vision. Here
is how we look to Mr.. Tokutomi of
Japan:
In a word, the American is a rus
tic person who does not know any
thing about the world. He enjoys
globe trotting and Europe is his
pleasure ground where he dumps his
money. But on all occasions he car
ries his own country in his travel
ing bag. Consequently, aside from
satisfying his own desires for pleas
ure he does not enlighten himself
very much by his observations of
the world"
Mr.. Tokutomi, be it known, is ed
itor Of Toxic paper which upholds
the military party. Drawing a con-
clusion from his own word picture of
the typical American, he brands
the nation as the "enfant terrible"
of the world. He shows some ap-
prehension over the prospect of CO.

operation between the United States
and the British empire especially as
he has no idea that the former will
follow the lead Of the latter and
dutifully obey orders of the older ma
ton. Whether Mr.. Tokutomi would
acquiesce courteously to British
world leadership he does not say. but
he evidently thinks it would be pref
cradle to American leadership.
He has satisfied his own mind that
"the American CONSIDERS that it is
his mission to force AmericaniZation
upon other nations" and by way of
clinching the argument he lays down
the proposition that the war has
americanized the world rather than
Influenced America.
If he believes this, it is of course
easy to see why America is the
greater of two evils: he does not
know just how powerful she is or
just what she may do. Neither does
he know these facts about the Brit
ish empire, but if he thinks he does,
he is happier so.
