Chicago, Jan. 19.—The American Lumberman in its issue to-day prints unarticle on the decline of the pine lumber product of mills in the north west. The total number of feet cut in 1900 was 5.4*5,261.000, against 6,- 056,000.000 in 1899. Commenting upon the situation the Lumberman says: •During the last two years there has been every inducement for the mills lo turn out a heavy product and yet there was a slight falling off in 1899 as compared with 1898, and a heavy decrease in 1900. Kvery resource was strained to make a heavy output, but without result, except to prove that the closing years of ihe white pine industry of the northwest are et liand." Found None of the Bond*.

Washington, Jan. 19. —Just before ti o'clock last evening the senate final ly disposed of the army reorganiza tion bill. The measure having orig inated in the senate, the final ques tion was not upon its passage, but upon agreeing to the senate amend ments. They were agreed to by a vote of 43 to 23. While party lines were drawn on the measure, four democrats voted for it—Senators Lindsay, of Kentucky; McLaurin, of South Carolina; Morgan, of Alabama, and Sullivan, of Mississippi. The bill has occupied practically the entire attention of the senate since January 3, when it was made the unfinished business. While the opposition to it at all stages was vigorous, it never was bitter. Nu merous'amendments were made to it, but in general the committee was sustained and the measure, with the exception of the elimination of the canteen clause, is not widely differ ent from that reported to the sen ate. A determined effort was made yes terday to amend the bill so as to pro vide against the sale of liquor in the Philippines and to prohibit the im portation of any kind of intoxicants into the islands, but it was defeated. A notable speech was delivered by Mr. Hale, of Maine, who, while oppos ing the increase in the strength of the army, stated his reasons for sup porting the bill. Every effort to prevent the in crease in the strength of the army was defeated by a decisive majority. As the lii 11 originated in the senate it now will go directly to the confer ence committees appointed by the two branches of congress. House. —The house spent the entire day on the bill to refer to the court of claims the claims of the Cramp Shipbuilding Co.. of Philadelphia, for alleged damages due to the delay of the government for furnishing armor plate and material for the battleships Massachusetts and Indiana and the cruisers New York and Columbia. The claims aggrog.itt $1,367,244. The bill has been conspicuous at every session of congress for several years. It met with the strenuous opposition of a portion of the minority and the house adjourned without passing it. Diaili of Gen. tlnckay. New York. Jan. 19. —Gen. A. J.

As near as I can remember. there has been a hydraulic rain on this farm for years. The first ram putin was used to force water to a watering trough in front of the buildings and also through a pipe leading to the kitchen of the main house. For the past 10 years, the time we have lived here, it has been greatly changed and we have furnished water to every building on the place. Waler is sup plied on every floor, including bath room, water closet, etc. The tank in the attic holds 000 gallons. The pres sure of it make* sufficient force to car- WATER FOR HOUSE AND DARN. ry the water anywhere needed. The sketch shows the arrangement of the 6jstem. About six or seven years ago, during a very dry spell, the water in tlie reservoir became very low and the old ram afforded us considerable an noyance on account of there being only one stroke, which necessitated as much supply water at one time as an other. therefore we had to keep the ram turned off until the water was needed in some of the buildings. About that time at the county fair, I happened to see another hydraulic ram which looked so simple, and having a governor to regulate the strokes in pumping, which means everything when the reservoir is getting low, that I purchased one and placed it in posi tion and have had no trouble since. On one occasion in particular its use fulness was very prominent. A fire originated in the bottle department of my dairy, between the inner and outer sidings, which was impossible to reach without the use of a thrown stream, but by breaking a little of the outer siding and inserting the nozzle of the hose the fire was overcome in a very short time, thus saving every building on the place, which otherwise would have surely burned.—T. W. Stewart, in Farm and Home. PLANT MORE TREES. Sections Where Timber In Scarce Suffer More from Ilrouiclit Tliun Wooded Region*. More even distribution of the for est growth over farming sections ia needed, for as it now is the forest growth in mountains and other sec tions is unfit for agricultural pur poses. The sections best adapted to farming are largely void of trees. In time of drought the sections which suffer most severely are those wheTe timber is most scarce. Southern In diana, which has been cleared too much, years ago when there was still much timber standing, produced far better crops than now. Rains were then much better distributed through the growing season and showers were frequent and mild, but now rain too often falls in heavy, sudden down pours, often doing damage to growing crops. These severe rains are usual ly followed by hard winds that soon dry the moisture from the land in the growing season, and in winter the wind having uninterrupted sweep drifts the snow in great banks along fences and leaves wheat fields bare. We cannot undo the harm done by too excessive clearing, but one can improve matters by planting trees in shelter belts on the south and west sides of our farms. For a perpetual wind-break, the Norway spruce un doubtedly leads. A good shelter belt should contain four rows of spruce, ten feet between rows and trees five feet apart in the rows, and the trees placed so as to break the spaces be tween rows. Spruce seedlings can be got from nurseries when about ten inches high for about three dollars per hundred. He very careful in moving evergreens not to let the roots get dry, as this means certain death to the tree. —Robert Killins, in Farm and Home. Deep Planting; of Tree*. It is the general experience that deep planting is harmful and con trary to nature. Trees that are planted deeper than they stood in the nursery row will make vigorous growth for a few years, as the wood covered will send out roots, but the old roots make no growth, finally de cay, and sometimes cause the whole tree to die. W'e consider it very im portant that trees should not be planted deeper than they stood in the nursery row. Ia planting straight sticks, by the Springfellow method, with the lateral roots all taken off, the trees may be set several inches deeper than they stood in the n'jr *®ry. —G. A.
