PRACTICAL FORESTRY." you to Make Woodlands Profltnble. Waste In Ordinary I.umlierlu?f. The Importance of good forestry In tills country Is becoming more appreciated not only In connection with extensive timber tracts, but with the smaller wood lots upon farms. Practical forestry lu the Adirondack region as recently carried on by forest owners under advice from government exports serves to illustrate methods of management that ore most profitable and equally applicable elsewhere on either | a larirc nr n .. uiiiwii ovaiu. ii appears from the report of their work thai BPKUCE STIJMP CUT KIUIITEKX INCH US TOO num. f losses through ordinary lumbering are considerable In the aggregate. Some of the items connected with unnecessary waste are as follows: Where the lumbering is done under the system of contracts and subcontracts. the temptation for a jobber to do careless work is very great. Uuloss carefully watched be is apt to cut unnecessarily high stumps, to leave large tops In order to avoid the trouble of trimming off the branches, to leave trees lodged in hard woods and otherwise to fall below the standard of good lumbering. The principal loss arising from careless lumbering is occasioned by (1) needlessly high stumps, ('2) large tops, i (.1) skids left in the woods, (1) valuable timber used in leveling roads and (3) destruction of small growth in felling, i Bklddiug ami hauling. When tlio trees are felled by chopping, the stumps are cut at the point at which the nx naturally falls when the chopper stands erect. This Is usually I about three inches above the ground. < The majority of i.? ? - v somewhat lower, nveraglng about 30 Vlnclies in lie isrlit. The sawyers protest ' ftealust cutting low Uv.aa.-iC 11 ' ' ? A ? to ftoop over. Expe, rleuee by careful lumbermen has prov- ' ed that such high stumps are entirely needless. Where lumbering Is done under eon- ' tract It has been the usual custom In the Adirondacks to cut only logs which will scale six inches at the top end. 1 Where timber Is cut for pulp smaller logs can be used, and many companies < ^ ^ I i. ff* " BPRUCB CUT AXU LKKT UY TEAMSTERS. which operate their own camps compel the choppers to cut logs as small as live and often four Inches. The average size of the top log Is nearer eight inches. There are lu some cases 4 to VI feet of wood left in tops which is lit for pulp and which is actually so used by many companies. The point will at once ho raised that the tops nrp'-Qf- inferior quality. The reply is that many companies use this material and that the total amount Is so great that It would pay to utilize It even at only one-fourth the price of the reRt of the timber. The majority of skidwnys are built of spruce. It is the custom to leave the skids in the woods, and the owner loses not only the stum pa go value of the timber thus wasted, but also the advantage of future increment which the trees would take on if loft standing. Destruction of small growtl in hauling takes place on steep roads, where the teamsters frequently scatter spruce brush to chock the speed of the sleds. It often happeus that all the young spruce left standing by the choppers nen. such steep roads are cut to supply the brush for this purpose, and the stems are left lying on the ground to deenv.

Not every farmer keeps sheep, hut those who do are often tempted In winter to wish the cows were all sheep They need no milking, no grooming, no cleaning out of fttahlcs, but they do need to be well fed In winter with good liny, n little grain and some roots, and they want pure water where they eon go to It as they please. The sheepyard may be as cold as all out of doors If It Is only kept dry and supplied with lean bedding, and the sheep will bo better for a run out of doors In all pleasant weather If the ground Is not Mvered wftlt ?now. % ' "* \ i ICEBERGS.

The social system among tho Moros Is much more primitive than It is among the greater part of the other Philippine races. A chief, or dato, controls a district. lie has his own particular followers and Ids slaves. Resides these he may command all the men of his own district In time of war. lie also has the right of life and death over ids subjects. For Instance, a few weeks before we arrived in Joio. Data Jokaulue had occasiou to execute one of his followers. The man had been Intrusted with money belonging to the dato. The first time he came to his j chief aud said: "Oh, great and benevolent dato. I have gambled away the money! For- ' give me!" , "Very well," said the dato. "See thnt It does not happen again." ( Once more tho retainer came, saying: "Oh, great and benevolent dato. again have 1 gambled away thy money, and , again I beg thee, in thy great mercy, to ( forgive me!" t "This is the second time 1 have for- ^ given thee," said JoUanlno, "hut the third time, I warn tlieo, thou shnlt die." Vet again the unfortunate man returned without tho motley he lind collected for the dato. p "Oh, dato," he cried, throwing him- | self at the feet of ids chief. "1 have ^ sinned again and tuken thy money! ( Mercy! Mercy!" u "Cut li I in down," said the dato to one . of his men-at-arms.

An Amnzed Women. A woman who had an Arabic glass cup of the fourteenth century and did not know its value took it to the British museum. After due consideration the expert, to her surprise, said that, though the museum did not want it, it might be worth $2,000. The woman shuddered, because she bad been carrying in a crowded London omnibus a bit of glass worth so much money and It had miraculously escaped smashing.
