An Example of Profitable Forestry. an
The fact that three-fourths of the thi
timber of the United States is In nil
private ownership seems to indicate l*11
I conclusively that It is to these Drivate m<
owners that we must look for th.e 'e<
bulk of the timber supply of the fu- wa
ture. Few private owners regard co
their holdings as permanent timber
. investments even when the land is of th<
a character which makes it of little PH
or doubtful value for farming. The by
general policy is to cut as closely as m(
possible to increase the amount of
the present profits; to neglect the Pr'
protection of the young growth on
the cut over land' from fire on ac- du
count of its cost: atid then, if possi- co
ble, to sell the cut over land if not f?<
good farming land, rather than pro- mi
tect it and improve it for future cut- rei
ting. du
That it is possible for private own- Sr
ers to manage their timber lands so ?b
as to maintain them as permanent tel
producing investments is well shown wi
by the results which have been ob- aa
talned by the University of the South, w'
at Sewanee, Tenn. These lands con- Pe
sisted of 6600 acres of rough moun- eri
- tainland which, in 1900, the universi- ?r
S, ty thought of selling for $3000, since it.
the tract was not of the best quality, th
The trustees' of the university knew pis
nothing of the methods of managing be
timber lands and were absolutely un- no
able to protect the tract from fire, on
which was yearly injuring much of an
3 the young timber. At the instance
e of a member of the faculty, who was Ju
i- an enthusiastic believer in the possi- sa
r bilitles of scientific forest manage- 1)3
ment, experts of the Forest Service te>
' examined the tract, and prepared a
,s working plan, marked the trees ta
' which were to be sold and cut, and th
those which were to be left, and th
t recommended a method of securing su
y protection from fire, which always wl
threatens to destroy young trees. t.vl
' The system of cutting was to get
u rid of all defective trees, and all of
j species of low value, cutting at the de
_ same time sound trees wherever re- ca
e moval would not injure the future ou
value of the forest. During the dry
s months of the autumn a paid patrol ev
s was maintained to prevent the start- el'
ing of any fire, or to see it before it be
had made headway, and at once ex- Gi
tinguish it.
Cutting, with these objects in
! view, was begun in 1001, to supply
s a small mill, and by October, 1900, sp
the tract had been entirely cut over, of
n The net profits, after deducting all an
expenses of every kind, including fire m:
? protection, exceeded $1S,000, or it.
| about six times the accepted value
of the property in 1901. The cost of sb
fire protection has amounted to more an
than $600. All of this amount, ex- or
cept $122, was for patrol service, a ha
e man being kept constantly on the ye
watch during dry and dangerous
r weather. He was paid $30 a month, fo:
r Extensive fires occurred only during ra
; three years. The cost of extinguish- m;
e ing them with hired labor amounted 70
y to $122. The excellent patrol service se
| prevented fires getting under fe^ad
^ and beyond control. The logqjng ly
._ i was done by contract, and the con- go
| tractors were required to prevent as
I fires. There has been only one fir?- dc
n | of importance, and that burned only 'to
h a small part of the tract. A leaf has ou
i, not been burned in eight years on bu
i? more than nine-tenths of the tract.
Although the tract has been entirely th
logged, the conservative cutting as- co
cures a second cutting within ten a
years, and indefinite future cutting be
l1 thereafter at ten-year intervals; and en
e the indications are that at each fu- th
?z ture cutting the amount of timber ar
a which is cut will increase, and the
quality improve. The defective trees sit
have been largely removed, as well as bu
lj the species of low value. The young sh
trees are all sound and thrifty, have th
never been scorched or stunted by cl<
fires, and there is an increased pro- in
portion of the valuable species like ot
, yellow poplar, hickory and red oak. he
The cost of fire patrol has been ex- pu
r cessive, since one man should patrol
c a much larger tract, and this patrol on
? cannot stop now, but must be con- ag
nuucu ioi iiik iit*At it'ii years, wnen in
no cutting is taking place and no in- m
come is being derived from the prop- ml
erty. The great value of the results eb
d which have been secured indicates, su
however, the desirability of a legal^
Ized or systematized patrol system ml
during the dangerous season in the co
forested portions of the counties, es- th
pecially in those sections where there ah
is tender young growth. The result- so
u ant benefits extend far beyond the in- Aj
dividual owners. It means the main- so
'0 tenance of the producing value of th
lands, assuring additional property co
o for taxation, and a cheaper and more six
0 I abundant supply of raw material for ?
building and for industiial uses.?

d will hardly think It necessary 4
at we should draw attention to this
itter, and yet we may safely assert i
at more plants are injured, and
>re fall to reach their greatest per- |
:tion from an improper mode of
itering than from all other causes |
mbined.
To water the various plants, that {
eir different wants shall all be supied
and no more, is an art acquired (
but few, and the credit which
ist cultivators receive for a fine col- {
:tion of plants is often due to the
oper observance of this one item. (
It should be borne In mind that the
ty of the water is to dissolve and (
nvey to the roots of the plants the
Dd which they need; sonic plants (
jst have a season of comparative
at, and if such are watered liberally(
ring this time they will keep or?V>
owing, and the necessary rest is not (
tained. Sometimes growers will
II us that they succeed very well 4
th certain classes of plants, such
fuchsias, etc., but that they fail (
th other sorts. We at once set such
ople down as being profuse water- {
g, who, by too much water, injure
destroy such plants as will not- bear , i
On the other hand, there are
esse who fail with this class of (
ants and succeed well with others,
cause their mode of watering does I
t supply enough for the wants of
e class, but is about the proper 4
lount for another.
Many plants are permanently in- i
red by water remaining in the
ucer; others often suffer from a <
d selection of the soil. Some amaurs
fail with a certain class of I
ants, of which begonias may be
ken as a type, because they shower (
e leaves with cold water, but for
is very reason they are eminently '
ccessful with another class, of
licli the camellia will serve as a ^
pe. As a general rule, from which
ere are few variations, the texture '
the leaves may be taken as an inx
of their power to resist the appli- (
tion of wnter. Plants having por
s. open or fleshy leaves covered 1
til soft down should bo seldom. If

ossy or hard leaves will do all the

Dairy Notes.

inure and add to its fertility. Use
The yard where cows are kept
ould have good surface drainage,
d it should be covered with gravel
cinders deep enough to form a
ird surface at all seasons of the
ar.
Silos furnish one of the best foods
r cows, but if you cannot have one,
ise some of the roots, such as the
angel-wurzel, which yields 600 to
i0 bushels per acre, and can bo prerved
in a root cellar, cheaply built.
The dairyman should be a naturalneat
person. This will give him a
lod reputation to begin with, and
milk is one of the quickest proicts
to absorb odors, he will need
be always particular and on the /
itlook for anything harmful to his
isiness.
Never allow the milk to stand in
e barn, but remove it at once to a
ol place to be aerated, and cool to
temperature of sixty degrees or
low. Then be particular that all
apty cans and pails, and everything
at comes in contact with the milk,
e thoroughly washed and sterilized.
One of the most essential requi.es
in turning out good fir3t-class
itter is cleanliness. Not only
ould the vessels for milking, and
ose for keeping the milk In, be
san and sweet, but the cow also
ust be kept free from mud and any
her filth that may have adhered to
r, for mill; is quick to absorb imirities.
To become successful in dairying, 1
ie must provide plenty of the for;e
crops, to be able to keep the cows
the best condition for supplying
ilk, and then calculate to do your
ilking at regular hours, never
anging unless unavoidable, and be
re to milk the cows dry.
It is not so much the amount of
ilk and butter a cow gives, if she
nsumes a greater amount of feed
an will make the business profltle,
she is useless. Professor Robinn.
