GOOD IS TIMBER lAiinintniiNnniiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiittiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii (Prepared by tlM Uaitwl Btataa DeparUawit of Agriculture.) Woodland ovnai many times are confronted with the problem of when to sell standing timber and when to cat It for use on the farm. Experience has demonstrated that la aome localities it uaqaaatloaafcty pays the farmer better at aD times to Sell, particularly the more valuable kinds of wood. For example, in the central hardwood region farmers sell their select yellow poplar trees profitably and with the money buy and hanl back to the farm for distances of from four to eight miles southern pine siding for their houses and barns. On the other hand, there are too often instances where one finds choice white oak of the best quality, suitable for veneer or furniture stock sawed up Into posts for the form. Keep In Touch With Market It would be well for the owaer to keep In touch with market conditions, bo he may market his product to the best advantage. With rarely an exportant. In advance of the sale, first to secure a good eatima*e of the quantity, quality and aa# value of each kind of product t» the stand; then to get bids from as many buyers aa possible; and, finally, to have an agreement (deafly specifying the restrictions I^jnga^rd to the manner and amount of cottftig so as not to Impair the £rM)reing power of the forest The siftflAay include only trees above a specified minimum diameter, or such trees as have been previously marked by the owner for cutting. When properly safeguarded, this becomes one of the safest and most satisfactory of aU methods of selling and should receive full consideration when sales aee eon* templated. _ . - Plaoe Restriction si --~ Selllng by lump eliminates the anxiety and misunderstandings attending sates by log-scale measurement.

Employment to Pamsr an# ceptlon the timber is not dying, decaying or "going back" by fungus or Insect attack at the rapid rate alleged by buyers, who, obviously, desire to buy as cheaply as possible. Unless it is overmature it Is increasing yearly in volume and value. Cutting during the early period of growth, says the United States Department of Agriculture, often represents a real sacrifice in financial returns. The approximate age at which trees should be cut in order to obtain the highest returns a year Is very different for different species. Thus Cottonwood, ash, hickory and yellow poplar become commercially valuable at much earlier ages than white oak and black walnut. When other farm work is least pressing many farmers find It profitable to torn their attention to estimating, measuring, cutting, marketing and selling their timber. Spare help and time to supervise the work make the winter a favorable season for this. It is easier to haul logs on the snow than over ordinary roads, and the logs are less liable than at any other time of the year to deteriorate quickly through attacks of Insects or fungi. Beet Method of Selling. The choice of methods of selling depends largely upon the kind of timber and the owner's knowledge of its value, his past experience and the condition of the market. Timber products are sold either in the standing tree or in a more or less roughly manufactured condition. Except when sold by the lot or lump, sales are based upon a measure by log scale or lumber tally or upon individual count of units of designated slse or char* acter. Timber sold by the lot, boundary, or tract Is either lamped off" to include a designated tract or sold on an acreage basis. This method has prevailed over all others, particularly in the rougher and less-settled districts. As a rule itjs strongly favored by the purchaser because in such a transaction his better knowledge of both timber yields and values gives him an advantage over the average owner. Many examples of the sacrifice by the owner of a large share of the value of the timber can be found In nearly any wooded region. On account of greater competition among purchasers and a better understanding on the part of the owners of timber values, sales of standing timber by the lot or lump are now being made with better profit than formerly. In using this method it is very tangoes the opportunity of profitable eaaployment for himself and his teams which he would have If he logged the material and sold It after hauling it to the mill or shipping point. Unless restricted by the terms of the agreement, the buyer usually cuts ve*y closely. Selling by the lot is therefore a good method to use where the owner intends to clear the land for other uses. But if the land is to be kept in timber, the owner should Include provisions In the contract of sale to retain the young, vigorous growing timber and provide for a future crop. The Importance of care In cutting, on account of its efTect upon succeeding growth and production of the stand, can hardly be overstated. GOOD POULTRY SUGGESTIONS Of Grwrt Importiltet That PMdlng Utensils Be K<0| Absolutely Clean--Other Hints. "Watch the feeding utensils" la a suggestion of more Importance than most poultry raisers realize. The water basins are of great importance because many contagious diseases may be spread through the drinking water. Wash and scald all water basins once a week. Each morning when filling the water basins empty all the old water out and rinse the basins before refilling. Place the basins well off the ground so that the birds will not scratch straw and dirt Into' the water. Locate the food hoppers so that they will be perfectly dry at all times. Other important suggestions aa to good sanitation are: 1. Be sure that the birds have plenty of fresh air. 2. Sunlight is a good germicide. 8. Clean yards are essential to fSod health.

A short time ago my husband and I attended the funeral of a friend whose home was in the suburbs. We left In plenty of time, but on account of the distance and much transferring we found to our dismay that we were going to be late. After frequent delays we arrived at our station. There had been a heavy snowstorm the day before, and where tiie walks had been cleaned It was slippery, making it difficult to hasten. When we reached the bouse, tn hurrying up the outclde stairs I slippel, iost my balance, and fell headlong. All might have been well had not the undertaker chosen just that moment to open the door. My husband was making a frantic grab to catch me, but I was not to be stopped, and landed In the room on all fours, to find the company all facing the door and tbe minister preaching the funeral sermon. --Exchange. 10c Saves Need Buying a New Skirt Potnam Fadeless Dyes--dyes or tints as yoa wisfc iM HEALING ART OF OLD CHINESE MARKETING 1922 WOOL CUP Much Will Be Qraded in Accordance ' With Tentative- Grades Initiated by Market Bureau. Much of the 1022 wool dip will be graded Hi accordance with tentative grades for wool initiated by the bureau of maricets and crop estimates. United States Department of Agriculture. In practically all sections of the country where Investigations have been made and grading demonstrations conducted it is planned to grade and market wool co-operatively this year. The Way te Do It Mary Garden, the great singer, was the guest of honor at a chorus girls' tea in Chicago. "Too girls are all beautiful," Miss Garden said, "and I know you must all be a good deal bothered in the streets by men. Always turn these men down--politely but firmly, you know." "That's easier said than done," a blonde chorus girl demurred. "Not at all," said the diva. "Well, now," said the blonde chorus girl thoughtfully, "suppose a handsome young man should stop his racing csr. Jump out, snd offer you his hand and say, 'Tour face is familiar,' what would you do then?" "I'd answer," said Miss Garden, M *8o are your manners.'" 4 Mutual Precaution.

Abundant Proof That They Were Familiar With Anesthesia Mai|y Thousands o? Years Ago. The artificial induction of painlessness by narcotic draughts was traditionally known tn ancient times, writes Dr. Charles Ballance in the London Lancet. The Chinese were acquainted with general anesthesia thousands of years ago. it is related of Surgeon Hoathe In the Third century A. D. that he performed amputation, trephining and other major operations by Its aid. Doctor Browne relates two cases of anesthesia taken from a Persian manuscript. The first story concerns Aristotle snd an Indian surgeon named Sarnab. An earwig had entered the putient's ear and attached itself to the brain. .Aristotle gave the patient the drug so that he became unconscious while Sarnab trephined the skull. This was excellent treatment. It is no* well known that living foreign bodies may produce otitis and meningitis. In the second case the o{^ eratlon was Caesarian section.

(PMpared fey tfte Cn1t«d Statw •f Asrlcnltw*.) In fta search for a means of protecting Portland cement concrete against the action of «iit«Hn» waters, the bureau of public roads, United States Department of Agriculture, announces promising results from treatment with a very fluid crude wa'ter-gas tar, such as may be obtained as a byproduct from many artificial gas plants. So successful have the tests been that further investigations of the alkali-resisting properties of tartreated concrete and mortar are under way and the protective efTect of water gas tar on mass concrete structures is being studied. The treatment consists of simply immersing the concrete In the liquid, which is soaked up, even by a dense concrete. Cement drain tile treated in this way and stored from six to eight months in a strong alkali solution have shown no indication of disintegration, and samples tested for tensile strength were as strong as those stored in pure water. On the •tber hand, untreated sampiea showed both disintegration and a loss of strength. In certain parts of the countrt where alkali salts exist concrete drain tile and concrete structures have been attacked. In many such places concrete is a very desirable material oa account of the accessibility of the ma> terials that go into it.
