His brother, H. J. Gebhardt, tells
visitors to the plantation Of the efforts
expended in establishing the first
planting of pine trees. The Gebhardts
spent their boyhood on the banks of
the Black river, and had seen the
slaughter of pine trees. Millions of
feet were sent down the river to La
crosse to be manufactured, and it was
a common saying that logging would
never play out on the Black river"
But the Gebhardt brothers lived to
see the original stand slaughtered. AT
the time they realized that the cream
of Wisconsin's white pine forests were
gone they made their planting Of 257
trees.
When Gebhardt started his series Of
plantations he used wild seedlings that
he found in the woods. Later, how
ever, he took advantage of the serT-
ices of the state conservation commits
sion, which furnished him with thrifty
young trees.
Pine Is Best Choice.
By no means has the widespread Sc
lection of white pine for windbreaks
and woodlot paintings been accidental.
Farmers of the Badger state recog-
nize in this tree the most profitable
wood crop they could grow.
Because it combines rapid growth
with high-quality lumber, white pine

Growing Your Own
Clover Seed Crop
Tests Have Demonstrated
That HOMEGROWN Prod
uct Is Most Hardy.

Good homegrown clover seed is
usually the best to SOW, in the opin-
ion of F. G. Churchill, farm crops
specialist Of Iowa State college. He
says that about 500 samples OF
clover seed, which were gathered
from many different sources, have
been tested at the Iowa experiment
station and that these tests show the
domestic clover seed is more winter
hardy and will produce a better Sec
ond growth than imported seed.
Watch for Weed Seeds.
A field of clover should be exam
med for clover dodder, curled dock,
buckhorn, Canada thistle and other
noxious weeds before it is allowed to
stand for seed. If fields contain only
a few weeds, these may be pulled by
hand and burned before the seeds
mature. Fields which contain more
weeds than can be hand pulled should
probably be cut early the second time
for hay to prevent the weed seed from
maturing.
In order to determine whether the
second crop should be cut for hay or
seed, it is necessary to make an es-
timation of the seed production when
the crop has just passed the full-bloom
stage. If the stand is good and % to
80 seeds are found per head, the crop
should yield from one to two bushels
of seed per acre.
Cut the crop for seed when the
heads are brown, the flower stalks
If the crop is allowed TO become
overripe, there will be loss of seed
caused by the breaking off of heads.
If cut while some of the leaves are
still green, the stems will dry to bet
ter advantage.
important Points.
Glover may be cut for seed with
an ordinary mower. One with a
windrow or buncher attachment can be
used to good advantage. Allow the
clover to partially dry and then cock
it into very small cocks. Contrary to
common belief, it Is not necessary for
clover to rot before the seed Is hulled.
says Mr.. Churchill. The all-impor-
tant thing is to have clover perfectly
dry when 1t is hulled.
The important points in securing a
good clover seed crop are strong, Wig
orous stands, free from noxious weeds,
early removal of the first crop. cut
ting when the seed is ripe, but before
the leaves are dry, handling the crop
as little as possible, and hauling when
bone dry.

Barbed Wire Fences Are
Troublesome to Handle

One Of the troublesome jobs on any
farm, especially on a livestock farm
where much use is made Of temporary
fences for pasturing sweet clover and
hogging down corn, is that of handling
the barbed wire which forms the basis
of most of our temporary and much
of our permanent fencing. Usually
these must be homemade, since very
little equipment Of this kind is yet
available on the market
A handy man can usually work up
out of odds and ends some sort of a
barbed wire reel which will suit his
particular conditions as we'll or better
than anything he can buy.

Setting Rhubarb Plants
in Spring or in Autumn

Rhubarb may be set in the fall or
spring. The roots should be dug care
fully so as not to break off too many
of the larger roots. The old roots
should be divided so that each piece
will have from three to seven strong
buds
Rhubarb should have good soil,
plenty Of rich manure, and well Gull
tivated for best results. 1t will not
produce good stalks if planted in sod
or along fences where it is never Gull
tivated. Set the crowns two inches
below the surface. There are several
kinds of rhubarb. Choose a variety
with red stalks.

Poultry Hints

II II n Il s1tStSt
Sunlight is the cheapest disinfectant
that you can find. Have plenty Of 1t
in the poultry house.
Select your best, healthiest cocks
and mate them with equally good
early Matched pullets and one-year-old
hens.
The Importance Of vigor in the
poultry flock cannot be overstressed.
This problem of obtaining and main
tanning vigor is one of paramount i'm
portance, because we are expecting
more of the hen than of any other
fowl or animal on the farm.
Thin, scrawny turkeys are poor ad.
vertisement, and bring little profit. OF
course the turkeys will have grit and
charcoal as usual.
Hens with baggy abdomens may con-
tinue to lay heavily for a time, but
they cannot hope to continue for any
great length of time.
Wedge-shaped hens with the heavy
end Of the wedge at the front end
lack room to digest much food and
therefore will not be profitable lay
ers

AS a protection against the drifting
sands and dry winds Of his locality
he will plant along one Of his fields
q mile row of white pine. They are
to be spaced every six feet in rows
which are six feet apart. BY means
of this close planting he will succeed
in establishing a dense stand which
will be ideal as windbreak.
Gebhart a Pioneer
g. G. Gebhart Of Jackson county was
a pioneer N the work of reforestatlon.
He started with the purpose of grow
ing timber as a farm crop. More than
twenty years ago Gebhart made his
first planting Of 257 white and Norway
pines. Until his death last spring he
continued to plant trees, with the re-
suit that on his land there are now
over 10000 sturdy trees ranging in
height from six inches to thirty feet

is the farmers logical choice in wood
lot paintings" declared Wilson. The
trunk Of the white pine tapers so
gradually that there is little waste
lumber when it is sawed into logs.
Pines will thrive better than hard
woods on light and unfertile soil.
Since they require less moisture and
mineral matter than does the hard
wood, they are better suited to the
cutover regions of the state.
The state conservation commission
will furnish seedlings and transplant
ed white pine, Norway pine and spruce
trees to farmers. Orders will be re-
ceiTed after the first of the year, and
the trees will be sent out in the spring
as soon as the frost is out of the
ground. While no price has been an
nounced for this year, it will probably
be near that of last year.

When Pullet Is Laying

Whether pullet has started laying
or not is easily learned by merely ex-
aiming the distance between the lay
bones. II these are spread so that
three fingers may be placed between
them, it may safely be assumed that
she has commenced laying. Early lay
ers produce the most eggs while the
hardest ones are the slackers even
after commencing. BY going through
the flock Of pullets after most of them
have begun laying, the few that show
no signs Of productivity may be mar
keted.

DO YOU KNOW

DO YOU KNOW
That the value Of dairy
COW was formerly determined by
the number of pounds of butter
she could produce? But this
slowly changed after 1890, when
s. M. Babcock's invention
caused a cows value to be set
by the per cent of butterfat
her milk contained. The old
ideas, however, were hard to
lose and as late as 1892, when
preparations were being made
for the Columbian Exposition
tests, many dairymen objected
to Babcock's test because they
still wanted to see the actual
number of pounds Of butter the
cow produced.
