State either for Harding or Cox. There are
some few exceptions but they are not of
sufficient force or numbers to cut an impor-

Artificial Seasoning

TIME practice of artificial seasoning of
timber has grown greatly within re-

in from three to four days to as many
weeks.
The work is done IN closed-in buildings
capable of holding from 10000 TO $4,000
cubic feet OF timber. The floor Is gently

fall to find Lemke the man Of the hour
Farmers talked of Lemke rather than of
