LITTLE ROCKw, tNO. 21-I9s OBTAIN PROFIT FROM THE FARM WOODLOT -k. An Old Woodlot Which Is Grazed--Very Little Grass and No Young Timber. a1 . i SS t } (Prepared by the t'nlted 5ttes Depart- 0 mrnent of ASri ulture.) ft A cash return for the wood grown ' on the farm woodlot is just as possi- tl ble as a profit on other farm crops. tl Farmers often lose sight of this fact. a mainly because timber requires only a a small amount of labor but a long tl period of years to bring it to a mar- f, ketable condition. Often, therefore. b the owner is satisfied with an annual t supply of dead firewood. and the wood- f lot becomes a harboring place for in sect pests and a meager pasturage for u roaming live stock. Yet improvement f of the woodlot depends upon just a n few simple principles which any farm- a er may learn and practice. These are r contained in a new farmers' bulletin. o No. 711. published by the United States department of agriculture. c Improvement of the woodlot begins c with the cutting out of all dead and a diseased timber. Then the mature merchantable trees should be re- r moved, like any other farm crop, when e conditions favor a sale. New trees a should be planted in the open spaces r to grow up and fill in the forest can- t opy and encourage the growth of tall, t straight timber. Woc ilots may be divided into two classes, each determined by the char acter of the stand. On one type, the r trees are a second growth of approxi mately the same age and it is found ' that undesirable species are crowd ing olt valuable trees, the former should he cut to allow the unhampered s growth of the better quality tim ber. While timber taken out in this W ( t Second Growth White OaksWoodlot in Good Condition. cutting will rarely pay directly for its removal, the resulting enhance ment in value of the remaining stand makes the work a good investment. The presence of dead or dying trees in the stand, a very dense interlocked crown cover, stems very slender in proportion to their height, or appar ent stagnation in the height growth, all indicate that a thinning is needed. This usually is done when the stand is from 15 to 20 years old. The oper ation is similar in principal to thin ning any other farm crop where it is desired to obtain a few good plants rather thad many of poor quality. The owner should use the ax with care, removing only trees which crowd oth ers and cause too great competition for sunlight. Material removed in a thinning is valuable for fence posts and poles and should pay for the op eration. As a rule, not more than one fifth to one-fourth of the trees should be removed at one time. Grapevine, ivy and woodbine, and similar climb era which have grown into the trees r should be cut out by severing their main stems near the ground. In the second type of woodlot the trees vary greatly in age and height Sand the stand is largely dominated by old trees, whose tops shut off the sunlight and retard the growth of the Syounger trees beneath. Such a tract . should first be cleared of dead and Sdiseased timber. Next. the mature Sliving trees should be removed. This r should be delayed, however, until suf Sficient reproduction is started in the a openings made in the first operation, Sand marketing conditions permit a satisfactory sale. Heavy stands com posed almost wholly of mature trees should not be removed all at once un less the owner expects to provide for the new crop by planting. The old trees should be taken of in two or h oe ure ccessivet cuttings at interval of several years, each cutting taking A from one-third to one-half the trees. o These cuttings allow the remaining p trees to receive more sunlight and u thus encourage them to produce more o seed. Neither of the first two cuttings p should be so heavy as to encourage tl the growth of weeds or grass on the t' forest floor. The third cutting should t be made after the seedlings' are es- r tablished and there is no further need t for protection of the old trees. Scattered old trees, suppressing val uable young growth, often will be found in woodlots. Such trees will never be of much value for lumber and their widespreading habit often results in the suppression or killing of the young and better-formed seed lings, which frequently may be of considerable value. It is best in such cases to remove the old trees at I once. Pasture and timber Production can not be practiced on the same area, except to the disadvantage of each, and the combination will not be as remunerative to the owner as the prac tice of either one separately. Cattle, horses, sheep or goats eat young seed lings, trample them out, or brush against them and break them off. Hogs eat the seed and thus prevent reproduction from starting, or root young seedlings out of the ground. The existing growth is damaged t through the trampling or wounding of t r the roots and the compacting of the i I soil so that it is impervious to water. Horses should be kept out of the woodlot entirely because they often peel the bark from trees and eat the 4 young shoots. When young growth I is not desired, a f-w head of cattle are permissible, provided, however, t that the ground is not soft when they 1 are turned in. Hogs may be used to I aid reproduction before the time for 1 the seed to fall. They will root up the ground and thus put it in good condition for receiving the seed. Goats and sheep should be allowed in the woodlot only when it is necessary to clear up brush of undesirable species. Care should be taken to keep fire from getting into the woodlot. This destroys the fallen leaves and accum ulated litter of several years, thus do ing away with the very material with which the trees enrich their own soil. Burned-over ground becomes exposed, evaporation is greater, and more of the rain and melted snow runs off the surface. Leaf or grass fires usually destroy the young seedlings up to one, inch in diameter and also do great damage to other trees in the stand, t especially by making conditions favor able for the entrance of rot-producing fungi. d RIGHT CONDITION FOR SOWS Three Rations Suggested by Nebraska d Experiment Station-Have Alfalfa n Hay Accessible. Brood sows should be taken away from the rest of the hogs and be fed a different ration. Three rations sug gested by the Nebraska experiment station are: 1 (1) One part high-grade tankage, 12 parts corn. e (2) Skim milk or buttermilk and corn, using three parts of the milk to one part of corn. (3) Wheat and shorts. a Whichever ration is used, a rack containing alfalfa should be so placed that the hogs have free access to the hay at all times. In addition the sows d should be supplied with minerals. It is a good plan to dump the wood and coal ashes in the lot where the sows run. A mixture composed of a bas Ir ket of charcoal or fine coal, five pounds of salt, five pounds of air-slaked lime, and two pounds of sulphur will give good returns IT kept easily available. e EXCELLENT MASH FOR FOWLS t Mixture of Wheat Bran, Mlddllngs, d Cornmeal, Oats and Beef Scraps Is Recommended. f- A recommended dry mash is made ie as follows: n, Wheat bran. two parts. a Wheat middlings, one part. n- Cornmeal one part. s Ground oats, one part. n- Beef scraps, one part. -r To this can be added in bulk. euat Id clover hay according to the way the or towls eat it.

L) *'* A HOMEMADE DESK WITH A PlcI TURE SCROLL every boy can own a desk. because a it is one of the simplest pieces of far 2 niture to build. I have designed a c great many desks for boys to make. but I believe that the one shown in Fig. 1 will be the most popular yet. This desk is made out of a small packing-case, or a grocery box. Select the best-looking box you can fnd. Get the cover boards, too, because you d will need. them for the hinged drop- t leaf. The first thing to do is to re- t enforce the nailing of any boards t which show signs of coming loose. c Then prepare the pigeonhole parti- e tions. Fig. 2 shows the inside of the i desk. Partitions A 'should be fastened t seven inches each side of the center a of the length of the box, or 14 inches a apart, and shelves B should be so spaced that there wilU be a small top and bottom pigeonhole and a larger f one between. Holes C in partitions I g A (Fig. 3) are provided for the rollers i 3- of the scroll to turn in. Bore the up- t g per one about three inches below the t d upper end of A, and place the lower I eone ten inches or so below it. Nail 1 s partitions A to the end of shelves B; t e then stand these assembled pieces in 1 * the box, set a temporary brace be d tween partitions A to hold them in the 5- right position, and drive nails through d the ends of the box into shelves B. I d C C h f. and through the top and bottom of the it box into the ends of partitions A. . it Cut the scroll rollers D (Figs. 5 and d. 6) from pieces of broom-handle, a d trifle shorter than the distance be if tween the partitions A, and get four is large spools, such as crochet-cotton r. comes on, for the end knobs E (Figs. e 5 and 6). Rollers D turn on the nail n pivots F (Fig. 6), which must be long ie enough to run through the spool h knobs E. through holes C in partitions le A, and half an inch into the ends of r, the rollers. The spools must fit tight y ly on the nails. Wrap nails F with to paper, and then coat the paper with or glue so the spools will stick fast. p A tough wrapping-paper should be d used for the scroll. Perhaps you can d. find a store dealer who has a roll of in paper from which you can get the ry length you want in one piece. Tack le the ends of this paper to the scroll rollers (Fig. 7). Be careful to get,the re is th - II. of ly - ig- paper square on the rollers, so it will nt roll up evenly. The pictures should be put on before the scroll is pivoted 12 in the desk. Cut out and paste these in place. nd Fig. 4 shows how the box-cover Ik boards are fastened together by means of the end battens G. and how the pair of hinges are placed for -k hinging this drop-leaf to the desk. To ed support the outer edge of the drop Be leaf, when the desk is open, a pair ot we chains must be provided. Screw It screw-eyes into the drop-leaf and the nd other side of the desk, to attach the Is chains to. s- Putty all joints and nail holes. Then id a coat of stain, or two coats of paint e or white-enamel, will complete the ye desk. By screwing a pair of screw i . eyes into the top, the desk may be suspended from a picture-molding: or! It may be hung upon a pair of long LS hooks screwed into the wall. FarFetched Idea. "Care much for astronomy?" "Not a great real." replied the slight dey pessimistic man.
