Timber.


In an able editorial the Fennimore
Times calls attention to the seeming
ly needless slaughter OF standing tim
Der in this county. Regions which are
not designed by nature as pillow or
pasture land have been 6enuded until
but a few mournful specimens of for
est remain. And in many places the
cutting has been complete-nOt tree
stands.
But aside from the esthetic or orna-
mental value of trees there is a ser
ious material side Hillsides properly
clothed with timber hold moisture.
Rainfall is held in check and runs
away gradually in the form of springs
instead of sweeping down all at once
as flood and tearing soil with it.
Denuded-what happens? The loose,
friable soil rapidly washes away. The
plowland above begins to erode. The
bluffs stand a serrated mass of shale
and rock. The valleys and streams
are choked with mud.
A tree plantation is valuable as
set to any farm. Valuable to use
wisely and more valuable when the
place is sold. Bluffs which are not
good pasture and never can be plow-
land should be allowed to remain in
timber Cutting should be done wisely
Only the ripe trees should be taken
and enough should be left to provide
natural seeding.
Grant county, natural woodland
has tendency to reforest herself if
given chance. The wis farmer
will aid nature The foolish farmer
will strip his place of good wood for
a few paltry dollars.

above in place of q window. and a
little flap table may be adjusted to the
side of the window seat beneath the
bookcase. which any carpenter would
make. and which would look equally
well painted to match the other wood
work in the room or stained and wax
polished. The window seat can be
either padded or fitted with a loose
cushion made to the required size.
Such handy fixtures do not cost much.
a corner of room with window
at one side may be arranged in an
other way when the window does not
extend close up to the corner but Is
several feet away from the corner.
This plan is to have dado book shelves.
two rows Of them extending from the
bottom OF the floor, either part way
around the room or extending clear
round the room. In the corner there
should be a third book shelf. extend
ing only couple of feet on each side
of the corner walls. If there Is a fire
place in the room with a mantel above.
a book shelf may also be placed on
the mantel. The top of the book
shelves can be used for holding orna-
ments.
AT special cleaning times these books
should receive a special busting, and
the occasion SnOulQ also DE maze an
opportunity for attending to any re-
pairs needed. Clothbound books show
signs of wear quickly. If they are
faded. the color can be restored by an
application of ordinary water-color
paint or a strong solution of any one
of the many dyes now on the market.
The color must be applied with the
least possible amount of water. so that
the cardboard cover will not get wet.
1t will dry with a dull surface, which
can be frightened up with a coat of
artists varnish and a final rub with
furniture polish. The varnish will
also smooth down and secure any
frayed edges of the cloth binding that
have become evident.
Leather books usually last well cX-
cept at the back, which frequently
strips off. This must be glued on very
firmly again, and if the surface is
rubbed the color can be painted on as
in the case of the cloth bindings. but
leather must not be vanished. A thin
application of white of egg will pro-
duce a new surface on the rubbed
leather, and a final polish with furni-
ture cream will finish nicely.
Bookbinding Is of course a special
work and any rare or valuable vol
umes that are out of order should be
given to an expert to handle.

AUTUMN
Jerusalem Artichoke.
BY d. c. PEATTIE.

Down along the lower reaches Of
the old Potomac these days there
blooms unnoticed the Jerusalem arti.
choke. Outwardly 1t looks like moth
ing more than some sort of sunfiower
coarse plant with big yellow flowers.
6 to IL feet tall. Yet of all the wild
flowers in the District of Columbia
the Jerusalem artichoke Is likely to
become the most useful. For 1t is a
plant that not only has a romantic
past, but holds out promise of a
glorious future.
Long before Capt. John Smith came
to Virginia the Indians cultivated the
Jerusalem artichoke for its delicious
tubers. 1t is even thought that it
was originally a native Of the Western
plains and that its presence in the
Eastern United States represents only
a relic Of ancient Indian farming. In
any case, Jerusalem artichoke is, next
to corn, about the best vegetable that
our Indians ever grew.
OF recent years it has become a
popular dinner vegetable. In fact, It
is relished by the followers of. Lucul-
lus as a dainty epicurean dish. One
may, little later in the season. buy
Jerusalem artichokes in the Center
Market. They look like small. rather
irregular potatoes. To serve them,
boil them in their skins and serve
them au gratin. If they are a little
soft when you get them. soak them
first for half day in cold water
But it Is not as a vegetable that the
Jerusalem artichoke lays claim to q
brilliant future. 1t has been discov-
cred that an especially fine sugar can
be derived from the tubers. The Bu-
reau of Standards and many sugar
companies are taking an interest in
the artichoke. In fact, II scientists
ever allow themselves to get excited
about anything, they may be said to
be excited about the Jerusalem arti-
choke. The artichoke is easy to grow
in this climate. and the Department
of Agriculture is studying its propaga-
ton.

Answers to Food Questions

ent at such times. AS a matter Of
fact, the best diet for {. woman who
is pregnant is practically the type Of
diet that is best suited to her needs
under ordinary conditions. The diet
should be what is known as a mixed
diet: that is, one that provides for all
the needs of the body, whether build
ing material or body-regulating mate
rial. This will answer your question
in regard to foods containing bone
making material and phosphates. The
digestive system Is frequently irri-
table during pregnancy. and the best
way to avoid this is to take great care
to prevent constipation.
The daily meals should include a
whole-grain cereal, which may be
served either in the form of breakfast
porridge or as basis for simple des-
serts at dinner. Then there should be
at least a pint of milk each day. and
preferably a quart. Here, again, this
one foodstuff may be served in a va
riety of WayS-sometimes in the form
Of a beverage, sometimes in the MAX
ing of cocoa, custard puddings and
| milk dishes. To vary it use butter
| milk, zoolak or matted milk occasion.
ally instead Of 'one or two glasses Of
is that of green vegetables and fresh
fruit. This brings us to your question
about phosphorus and bone-making
material. Beans, celery, cabbage.
spinach, peas, lettuce. and, in fact, any
green vegetables, may be used in a
| number of ways. They may be served
in the form of cream soup. as hot but
tered vegetable dishes or as salads
The fruit juices from oranges and
prunes, the pulp of ripe apples. stewed
fruit prepared from raisins or figs and
marmalade made from steamed dates
will also help in furnishing the bone
making material.
Once a day have a digestible form
| of meat or light egg and cheese dish
or fish. The best fats are butter, ba :
con. olive oil and margarine to be
| used in cooking.
All of these foods must be used with
discretion, according to the digestion
| at the time. If you are careful to IN
clude one or two of the classes Of foods
| mentioned, you need have no fear
about lack Of phosphates or bone-mak-
| ing material.
