department of agriculture, declares
that the time of cutting has very lit
tie effect on the durability or other
properties if the timber is properly
cared for after it is cut. The import
ant feature OF preserving wood rests
in the mothd of handling logs at differ
ent times of the year.
Timber cut in late fall and winter
seasons more slowly and with less
checking than during the warmer
months, and when proper storage is
impracticable, winter cutting is best.
Fungi and insects do not attack wood
out of doors in cold weather, and by
the time warm weather arrives the
wood is partly seasoned and some
what less susceptible to attack. 1t
is for these reasons that winter cut
ting is advantageous, and not on &C
count of a smaller amount Of mois,
ture or sap in the wood in winter,
as the popular belief has been. There
is practically no difference in the
moisture content of green wood in
winter and summer.

THE IMAGINATIVE TIME
BY Anna Mae Brady

Mothers, did you eve stop to real
ize the Importance Of that period in
your child's development when his lit
tie mind is free to wander over the
hills of fancy and he is finding so
much difficulty in linking up the real
and the unreal? 1t is the opportunity
time of life and every one of us to
whom is entrusted the care and de-
velopment of a little child needs to
study and understand it in order that
we may make the most of it.
All of us are dreamers Of dreams,
and it is well that it Is So, for every
worthwhile act that has been given
to the world was first a dream in the
mind Of some person. Every book that
vas ever written, every picture paint
ed, every field cultivated, was first just
a flight of imaginative fancy. All Of
us go this far, but it is not enough to
dream; we must do as well. The sue
cessful person is the n who thinks
over his dream and organizes his think
ing until finally it is no longer a dream
but a reality.
We grown-ups would give the gold
Of Midas, were it possible, if we might
have developed in US the power of
vision, the power to e life magma
lively. Yet our little tots from three
to six have this power to the nth de-
gree, and instead of fostering and or
ganizing 1t we do our best to stife it
as a trait not to be desired. The seed
of genius lies in many of our children,
and parents and teachers who do not
understand, do their utmost to crush
out the very thing which later they
wish them to have.
But" you say, III l encourage this,
will it not make my child untruthful?
Already he juggles the truth in most
alarming ways" As mothers and lead
ers of children, we must be able to
distinguish between a fight of fancy
and a deliberate intent to deceive.
Fortunately for us the latter cases are
very IdTc. IL III uOuUL dSh Juc Cu1lu,
If it Is a fight Of fancy he will tell
you so.
What we need to do is to help the
child see his vision clearly and then
furnish him with some plastic mate
rial with which he can make his
dreams come true. Fairy tales are ex-
cellent for the imaginative child. He
is living in their world and they help
explain for him that almost inexplica-
BILE thing called life. Free hand cut
ting, clay modelling and the sand table
furnish material which will enable
him not only to see the picture more
clearly. but will also lead him to be
a doer as well as a dreamer, both Of
which are necessary.
The imaginative period, the oppor-
tunity time, comes but once, so let us
make the most of it.

Fairy Tale,
THE DINNER PARTY.
"WAAY GRAHAM BONNtk

The boy and the girl adventures
Travelled on through the valley. The
road was certainly a poor one. Many
a time they had to stop and think
which would be the best way to get
around a very bad place, but they
kept right on for they were sure now
that this was the way to the House
Of Secrets. That was where they
wanted to 60.
And they had met so many friendly
people.
AS they were talking together n
thinking Of the many friends they
had met they heard a great deal Of
noise behind them.
To be sure!
When the boy and the girl looked
they saw ever so many creatures com
Ing their way. There were Mrs. Wood
Elf and a number of their old friends.
Mrs. Wood Elf had someone with her
and they were quite sure it must be
Mr.. Wood Elf.
There was Mrs. Get-The-Most-Out
Of-Life coming along too and Master
ThOughtfulness and the Brownie Joy.
In fact most of their friends were hur-
rying along the road.
When they all caught up to the boy
and the girl Mrs. Wood Elf first In
troduced them very properly to Mr..
Wood Elf.
He seemed like q very nice soul and
they both felt sure they would like
him as they liked nice Mrs. Wood Elf.
"Well," she said, "are you on your
way to the dinner party?"
what dinner party?" asked the
girl.
"The great dinner party" said Mrs,
Wood Elf.
II didn't tell them about it." said
Master Thoughtfulness, land I was one
Of the last to see them. I thought 1t
would be a fine surprise"
"Its a surprise to even hear there
is to be a dinner party" said the boy.
"Tm sure I knew nothing about it."
Neither did l." said the girl.
"Well it's to be for you" said Mrs.
Wood Elf.
"The dinner party Is to be for us?"
exclaimed the boy and the girl.
"HOw strange that we knew moth
Ing about It," said the girl, though Of
course it isn't strange when I stop to
think about 1t. Master Thoughtful
ness knew we would enjoy a surprise.
He lives up to his name assuredly."
Sine ~word-that," said Master
Thoughtfulness.
"Assuredly that word assuredly Is a
fine one!"

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
BY j. E. Jones,

BY ]. E. Jones.
There has been a tempest In the
teapot again, growing out Of the fact
that some of the visitors to Mount
Vernon, the home of Washington, have
complained to congress against a
charge of an admission fee of twenty,
FIVE cents to enter the grounds. Sena-
tor Capper Of Kansas, is the prime
mover in the plan for the government
to take over the shrine and provide
free admission to visitors. Sentimental
enthusiasts rail about the alleged in
justice inflicted upon the public be-
cause xhe home Of Washington is
under private ownership. This pri.
vate ownership rests on what Is
known as the Mount Vernon Ladies'
association, which Is composed Of a
group Of regents from states through.
out the nation, who make it their
duty to manage the property, which
was turned over to them after hav.
ing been purchased by public SUBJ
scription shortly after the Civil war.
When the property was nrst acquired
It was run down and gone to seed.
The Washington family furniture had
all disappeared. since Martha Wash.
ington in her will, scattered it to the
four winds. The ladies have placed
Mount Vernon In the best condition
of any public building In the United
States. and the admission fee has
been used for the upkeep Of the prop
erty and for the repurchasing Of most
OF the old furniture. Some OF these
pieces have only been secured by pay.

though I've eaten a good deal today"
'The dinner party Is to be for you,
too" explained Master Thoughtful
ness, land If you look into the field
yonder you will see the table all in
readiness"
~ do see It," shouted the girl. "Yes.
Oh, it's to be a real dinner party. But
why are we being given a dinner"
she asked.
II will tell you," said the Brownie
Joy. "We all want to celebrate be-
cause you've gone along so far on
your journey. Mrs. Get-The-Most-Out
Of-Life suggested that as you had
gone 50 far it might be nice If you
stopped and enjoyed yourselves and
thought about the pleasant things
that had happened and all the inter-
esting things to come, forgetting, en-
tirely, about the horrible adventures.
you'll forget about those, won't
you? It's so much easier to forget
the horrible adventures than any 9TH
er kind. And that's how 1t should
be-"
"Just how 1t should be-" said Mas
ter Thoughtfulness.
So the boy and the girl skipped and
jumped along and many OF their
friends Of the journey joined them.
They went into the field and there
sat down at a long table which had
been made Of great logs and boards
finely cut. Over the long table was a
tablecloth of nne moss which busy
Mrs. Gnome had sent. She hadn't
been able to come to the party herself
because she was busy spelling Mr..
Gnome which wasn't a wise thing to
do at all. But she had tried to help
along the dinner. And oh, what a
fine party 1t wasi

"HoGGING DOWN" CORN

Some pork producers In South Da-
kota practice turning their pigs in the
cornield during the late summer and
early fall to pick their own feed in
stead of gathering the corr and haul
ing it to Them" says James w Will
son. professor Of animal husbandry
of State college. 1.-THE practice is a
good one because Is much labor.
Pigs do we'll under these condi-
tons, probably because they secure
more of a variety of forage with their
corn than they would receive in a
dry lot or even on a good pasture.
By this practice they are required to
take exercise which is also a benefit
to the growing pig.
I'm this connection I am of the
opinion that there would be less dis
ease and ailments of different kinds
II more exercise were required Of the
pig. Also. If the pig were required
to take more exercise the body would
be better developed and we would hear
less complaint OF breeds OF hogs run
ming out
Before turning in the field. it is
a good practice to feed new corn cut
from the field so that the pigs may
be brought to their new ration gradu.
ally.
"The number of pigs to put on an
acre-wHl depend on the condition of
the corn. Because of the uncertainty
Of the weather in the late fall 1t Is
better to put on too many than not
enough as q few will knock down the
corn and eat part of the ears and
make 1t difacult to husk. Then again
the waste will be great under these
conditions as there will be much
shelled corn on the ground uneaten."
