Vnlmlnm-ol Farms, a great donl of timber has been cut to pay oft the mortgage on the farm or to secure an emergency fund for a "rainy day," but In doing this many farms have been ao thrown out of balance because of the lack of sufficient timber for fuel purposes and the necessary repairs of the buildings.

Then return to tholr clenn qnnrters nnd feed on bnrley meal and milk nnd chopped celery for two or three days, letting them go for twenty-four hours before killing, and you will have geese fit for a king."

I never knew but oue hen to try the trap the second time. If you have a trap strong en o urn to hold a hog or a dog It will also broak them from trespnsslng.

Tho damage dono by cut worms hns become so nlnrmlng In sonio sec tions thnt the question hns nrlsen whether the pinctlce of turning over sod In the spring has not something to do with It. Some figure out thnt by allowing their sod ground to siand over they get the full vnlno of the late pasture. Sod ground should be turned in the fall. Make It as late as you want, but get It turned before the ground frenzes tip. This late plowing will onnble one to get the full worth of the late fall growth, and the ground Is In Just the condition to weather till spring. If there were no other reason, fall plowing Is better, as It will help get rid of the cut wormB and other In sects which have been hurting corn during the pnst four or five years. Many complain thnt their soils are not ns nice to work ns they were several years ago. That no doubt Is due to the system of plowing and cultivation. We do too much spring plowing, with the result that the need-bed Is spongy or soggy all through the summer. Turn under the sod this fall, and then disc next spring. That's the place to expect the bumper yield of corn. L, C. Brown, in National Farmer. A Forty Acre Lot. ' Here Is a statement of facts rela tive to timber growth and Increase in valuation. .For a convenient example I will take a tract of average timber land of forty acres, such as are to be seen in the Eastern townships and North ern Vermont. The total average stumpage would perhaps be about twelve thousand feet per acre, mak ing a total of 480,000 feet. For the last few years the average Increase In the price of stumpage has been about forty cents per thousand per year. The increase by growth ia about four per cent. The percentage that Bhould be cut from such a tract per year is about seven per cent., or about one tree In fourteen, and by this means a healthy growth of the balance would be assured if the other rules of forestry were observed, but in five or six years the cutting should be less each season, I. e., It should not exceed the Increase by growth. This data would give the following for mula or problem: The market value of this total stumpage would be: 480,000 at $7 per M, or $3360. Net yearly earnings on this stumpage would be: An nual Increase of 480,000 feet at forty cents per M, $192, also 33,600 feet total cuttings at $7 per M, $235.20; total $427.20. This shows an actual net yearly earnings on the tract of $427.20, but If we eliminate the increase of the value of the stumpage each year of forty cents per thousand, Sve have an absolutely safe proposition and -earnings of $235.20 on the tract, or $5.88 per acre per year. American Cultivator. Cement Dipping Tank. An excellent dipping tank can be made of cement. It can be built as cheap or cheaper than with boards and Is much more durable. We would advise all who are contemplating making any articles of cement, wheth er It be tanks, posts, sidewalks or anything else to send to the secre tary of agriculture, Washington, for I farmer's bulletin No. 235. I Dig the hole for the cement dip ping tank eight inches longer and wider than the Interior of the tank is to be. The end of the tank from which the animals will make their exit should be alantlng, as shown at A in the drawing. After the holt lias boen dug, mix the mortar at the rate of one pnrt cement to three parts sand. Ftll In the bottom of the hole with a uooth layer, four Inches thick. Leave this till It has dried sufficiently to hold up a man. Then make a box out of Inch lumber that Is eight Inches narrower and four Inches shorter than the intr:r- of Sectlonnl View of Dipping Tank, the hole. This box should be used In making the three perpendicular sides of the tank, but the slanting sldo should be loft open to be built after the other three walls have dried. When this box Is set into the hole, It will leave four Inches on either side of the sides and four Inches on the perpendicular end of the box and the walls. Fill In the mortar in this opening nnd leave till It hns sufficiently dried to remove tho box. Then the floor on the slant should be mndo. Start nt the bot tom nnd put on a layer of cement four Inches thick, Mowing It to reach six Inches upward on the In cline. At the top of this lnyer, sit Inches wide, place n piece of two by two so that It will extend ono Inch above the surface of the cement. Then put another layer of cement trtx Inches wide above this In the slant, finishing with Another two by two. Continue this till the entire Incline has been covered. H Is necessary to have the two by two Imbedded In the coment to afford a foothold for the animal when It attempts to come out of the tank, as coment Is very slippery. In some of the Western States, where the soil Is naturally dry and very hard, a great many make dip ping tanks by simply plnsterlng the Interior walls of dirt with two or three coats of cement. Such a meth od of construction will answer the purpose when none hut hogs and sheep are to be dipped, but for the larger animals, there Is danger of the cement being broken and the dip wasted. It Is much more durable and a grent deul cheaper in the end to make four-Inch walls as suggested above. The tnnk should be so lo cated thnt It can be enslly fenced. Usually by placing It nt one side of the hog pens, but one side need be fenced, the hog fence serving for the other side. Farm Notes. Carefully feed so that the diges tion Is kept strong and healthy. Do not leave the herd In the pas ture more than half a day at first. Save the heifer calves from the best cows and raise them intelligent ly for butter cows. Excelsior makes the best nesting material. Use cedar excelsior; it keeps out lice and mltcs. Sheep do not require as much heat producing feed as other animals, on account of their heavy fleece. It Is the Ill-conditioned sheep in the flock that causes the largest amount of trouble In management. With a breeding flock a certain number of young sheep must be kept to take the place of the old ones. Keep the calves Intended for the dairy sleek and growing every min ute, but do not let them get too fat. The dairy cow must have a good strong digestion and a hearty appe tite If she is to prove a profitable ani mal. It is not good economy to buy light milk pails or pans or cans. Oet good, heavy tin ones. They will last much longer and pay in the end. When fixing up the stables and sheds for the stock arrange for plenty of fresh air, but It should come In at the windows and not through crevices. For some early feed next spring sow some fall rye or some retch. These come on very early the next spring and furnish a lot of feed, away ahead of other green stuff. The advantage In cutting ensilage in Bhort pieces is that it packs better in the silo. When cut from one-half to one inch lengths. It will pack quicker and more solidly than when cut one and one-half inches. Cows like the short cut length the best. The Immortal. The scientific world is in a dispute over the length of days of the Ari zona burro, some scientists claiming that the genuine burro lives forever.

Prosperity Is pushed by put-away pennies. Lavish youth means a grubbing old age. Every penny saved la one less pang of foreboding. Her savings are the saving of many a business girl. Improvidence In trifles has never welled a bank account Too many women who work find It easier to get than to keep. A man's conscience only troubles him when something else does. A safe way not to lose money In Investments Is not to have any to lose. The fear of being called mean has many a time paved the path to the poorhouse. Each time the spending microbe is successfully fought! "salt down" the equivalent. A girl would rather be kissed by a stranger than -not be able to tell how men try to. A bank account Is a nerve tonic hard to beat for the girl who must face the future. The worker fares better when she learns the difference between econ omy and stinginess. Arithmetic for the fortune foun der: Give the ratio of the squan dered dime to the saved dollar. : Generosity, like charity, should have a home start. It Is neither gen erous nor tn fifty to spend lavishly oni others at the cost of probaVle dependence on others In later yeas. New York Press. j 171 Koreans Are Careful.
