moved and dependable--has come to
supplant the crosscut and bucksaw
forever and to make the once hardest
of all farm jobs an easy and pleasant
task. With such machine as Is now
on the market, the farmer can earn
the ready cash he must have to keep
things going while congress. bankers
and others debate over his and the ma
tons problems.
In a utilitarian sense, timber I'M
used Is timber useless to mankind.
Trees are a vegetable crop, and like
others of their kind, they grow to ma
turity. decay and die-a total loss I'M
less they are harvested and converted
to the uses for which they are best
adapted.
On nearly every farm In most sec
tons of the country there is timber In
more than sufficient quantities for
home use There are live trees that
need to be taken out to give room for
younger ones TO grow, c. to clear the
land for cultivation; there are dead

cay. and on thousands of farms the
banks of rivers and creeks are lined
with logs and other driftwood.
The old way of hauling logs to saw
rig made timber work impracticable
as well as Improbable. But now that
there are log saws that can be
wheeled like barrow almost any
where and can be operated on rough,
marshy, brush-covered ground, wood
can be cut by machinery into easily
handled lengths and sold at the high
prices that such fuel is now bringing.
The present situation, with wheat,
corn and other crop products at an I'M
profitable level, has caused many farm
ers to go after these timber profits
they have been overlooking.

FARM WO0DL0TS ARE
EASILY OVERLOOKED
FireWood Ranks Sixth in Value
as Farm Crop.
Power Driven Log Saw Supplants
crosseut and Buck, Making Task
Of Cutting Easy and Pleasant
Easy to Move About.

While farmers have watched the
prices Of corn, wheat, live stock and
other farm products go down, down,
down, many of them may have over
looked the one farm commodity that
has not only held up in price, but
which is in great demand and which
offers splendid cash profits right now
when they are needed most. This crop
is firewood and it is just ripe for
picking" Right now is the time for
farmers to harvest their firewood! Al
though neglected by many, statistics
show firewood to be the sixth farm
crop in value, being headed only by
corn, wheat, cotton, hay and oats.
If this were still the age of the cross
cut and the bucksaw, this suggestion
of saving wood for profit would be re-
jected as too suggestive of backache
and blistered hands. But in these
modern times the power-driven log saw

FEARED FOR HIS OWN TRELLIs
Chinese Humorists Tell Good Story
With Henpecked Magistrate as
the Central Character.

Managing wives and henpecked hus-
bands are not uncommon in China. IN
spite of the subordinate position that
women are supposed to occupy In that
country. A considerable part of the
humor of the Chinese is concerned
with households where the woman is
master; one popular story, quoted by
a writer in the Open Court. lis as
follows:
A district magistrate was sitting In
his court. trying cases. When the
chief clerk appeared and took his seat
the magistrate saw that his face was
full of scratches; so he asked him.
"what have you done to your faceY

man, II was sitting under my vine

all at once gust of wind overturned

the clerk blushing.

the lamb returned to the eve and al
lowed TO suckle as quickly as possi-
Bile.
Little trouble is experienced with
disowned lambs when lamblng pens
are used. With a eve that refuses to
own her lamb 1t is sometimes suffi-
cient to draw some milk and rub it
upon her nose and also upon the
rump of the lamb. A heavy milking
eve with only one lamb sometimes
can be persuaded to adopt an orphan
or disowned lamb of lighter milk
ing eve.
After lambing, the ewes should be
watched to see that their udders are
m good condition. Ewes should be
Kept In Landing pens for about three
days after lambing and then turned
into pen by themselves, where they
can have special feed and care. Az
ter lambing they should be fed lightly
at first being put on full feed about
the third or fourth day.
Troublesome Ailments.
Well-nourished lambs from properly
fed ewes have little difficulty. but some
troublesome conditions are to be ex-
pected in any flock. Constipation is
one of the most frequent ailments. II
is indicated by straining and distress,
and can be remedied by teaspoonful
of castor oil. Indigestion Is shown by
distress and frothing at the mouth.
This also usually can be relieved with
castor oil. Scours can best be cured
by giving one-fourth ounce of cooking
soda, one ounce Of sulphate of mag
nesia and pinch of ginger in flax
seed tea or Cruel. following the dose
in four hours with two ounces of lin
seed oil. Sore eyes are common and
can be relieved with few drops Of
silver nitrate solution known TO all
druggists as "eye wash" or Is per
cent argyrol. or even a very small
drop of pure sheep dip.
