Not only should the general uses of the different kinds of wood be known, but careful attention should be given to any spe cial use for given kinds or sizes of trees which may result in increased value. The market for Wood, lot tim- ber is chiefly for ties. poles. firewood. posts. piles, rails. lumber and very fre quently in the round for pulp wood. acid factories and box manufacturers. while special kinds. such as line white oak. ash. second growth hickory. cher- ry. etc.. have a large number of special uses, such as in the vehicle industry. furniture making. etc. it is again urged that owners should be particular to. inquire into their special markets both for the different kinds or timber and for the most profitable form into which given sized trees may be work. ed. By taking advantage of this they can very frequently double the price received for theirprmlucts.â€"-R. Rosen- bluth in American Forestry. Punctuation Marks.

The teacher had. been speaking of uniqm and valuable collections of objects. 01 art and interest and spoke of the fabu- lous wealth that had been expended by some of the collectors on their pe culiar hobbies. Thinking to obtain some idea of tht characters of the members of his class in this direction, he asked them what they thought they would like to collect if they had plenty of money. Up went the hand of a boy who was not noted for particular brillianceâ€"in fact. answers from him were vers scarce on any subject, So this oppor- tunity was seized by the teacher. “Rents, sir." was the prompt reply.

The aphis is in one way the most startling of all forms of insect life. for, although the females can and do lay eggs. its usual method of increase is by a sort of budding process, the young growing on the bodies of the parent exactly as brussels sprouts grow out of the stalks of the plant.
