Every woodlot, whether it ia estab­ lished naturally, or planted, must re- j ceive some improving if it is to pre-f duce the greatest number of valuable. trees in the shortest period of time.1 t If the forest is left to itself it will : produce much excellent timber, but ! there will also be present mapy ! stunted and misshapen trees which •might have been removed to advan­ tage at the proper time. Just as the field crops on the farm are tended in order to enable them to produce their maximum yield, in like manner the forest crop must be cared for. | The kind and amount of improve­ ment work which can be done in any woodlot depends^of course, on its age and condition. In this article, the improvement work outlined is intend­ ed to apply to those parts of the I woodlot consisting of groups of very ; young trees.’ The purpose of improvement work in a very young woodlot is to deter­ mine early in the life of the area, which species are to be allowed to continue, and to make it possible for them to develop under the best condi-’ tions. . 6= To Avoid Tainted Milk It is a rare individual who relishes garlic-flavored milk. Nor do we like “grassy” milk much better. These unpleasant flavors, which are most noticeable when the cows are first turned out to pasture in the spring, may, to a very considerable extent, be avoided. It will help if the cows are not put on pasture too soon, waiting until the grass has made a substantial growth. Then, too, the flavors will* be greatly reduced if the cows are brought in from the pasture each day two to four hours be- foro milking time. Aeration and the forcing of air through the milk will not completely remove the unpleas­ ant flavors. Pasteurization will help, but only when the milk is mildly affected. i izer of thif manure, about all one has ’ to do is add phosphoric acid. About the farm or garden, this has many special uses. < Being rich in nitrogen, poultry ma­ nure is excellent where’» quick leafy plant growth is desired. Try it as a top-dx’essing for grassland. For top-dressing strawberries and asparagus early in the spring, poul­ try droppings are especially advan­ tageous. They can be used in the same way around bush fruits, such as raspberries and blackberries, with wonderful results. For lettuce, spin­ ach and any other leafy garden crop they are unexcelled, but wherever they are used directly in the furrow at the time of seeding, they must be well worked in and mixed with an abundance of soil before the seed is planted. I j The droppings should not be used ; directly on land where potatoes are to j ■ be .planted the same season, or in close 1 connection with any other root crop, I . as they are apt to burn, blister and bring on scab.

According to a Dominion J mens, or a woodlot composed of all Dept, of Agriculture bulletin on Crop j desirable and valuable trees. Rotations and Soil Management ini Eastern Canada, the most effective; and economical method of improving! these old and dying out pastures is to put the land into some kind of rota-1 tion which includes clover or s-o-me1 other leguminous crop. If it' is de- j ~ sired to re-seed the land in order to have it remain in pasture for a num­ ber of years it is advisable to include! a few additional grasses and clovers ’ beyond those ordinarily employed for! hay. For loam or clay sails a good; mixture is per acre 4 pounds of tim­ othy and 2 pounds of each of red- clover, alsike clover, white clover, Kentucky blue grass, red top and, orchard grass, On very light soil the Kentucky blue grass should be re­ placed by Canada blue grass and the alsike clover by fall oat grass. When it is desired to secure a crop of hay for one or two years md then to pasture, tho timothy su .•! may he in­ creased to 8 pounds and the red clover to 6 pounds per acre. On wet or acid land where red clover does not grow well it should not be eliminated from the seeding mixture and the alsike seed increased to 4 pounds. While these mixtures are very useful in maintaining a stand for many years, It is usually unwise to leave the stand too long without plowing it and bringing the land into a rotation.

Women have not all become emancipated from the white cloth for every meal, and it is,' said that husbands sometimes com­ plain of the “fussy little doily ar- j rangements,” but never of the price,: So there is a special appeal in the more practical mat-and-|runnar set made up entirely of 13-inch toweling. The advantages of this toweling1 are many. The selvage edges savet hemming; besides, towelings are dur-1 able, being woven for hard use and frequent tubbings. In the 16- and 18-inch widths one can now get the most attractive materials: the sturdy crash, woven by peasants on hand looms, dainty checked pea-toweling, the modern linens in plain colors or barred with contrasting threads, as well as cotton crepes in white and colors. USE COLOR-FAST MATERIAL. Tho nicest feature about these sets is that they can be finished quickly.: Many of them, those of colored linen •' particularly, need no trimmihg what­ ever. Often a group of contrasting threads pulled through the material above the hem suffices. Sketchy running-stitches, large cross-stitches, any of the various blanket-stitch or chocheted edgings, or a binding with fast-color material finishes the check- I ed towelings.

Like so many other farm wo­ men, I longed for extra money, and yet I kept saying over to myself, “What can I do way out here on a farm?” until finally I discovered a plan which has proved most profitable to mb. I knew almost every one in the near-by town liked cottage cheese; so I made my cheese, placing it in little neat paper’ pails, and took it to town. Cus­ tomers were not at all difficult to get, and I am really' surpris­ ed myself when I reflect that from one cow, or five gallons of milk a day, I averaged ten dol­ lars a week. I have learned that the fine quality and the neat appearance of my cottage ’ cheese are responsible for the good price it commands.—M. P. May 8. Peter and the Risen Lord, _John 20; 1-10; 21; 1-23.

In measuring for the round or oval table allow four inches less than : the table width for the finished run­ ner. Thus the 48-inch table will take a 44-inch runner. This makes a pleas­ ing arrangement when used with mats measuring 18 x 12 inches, fin­ ished, I WASH MATERIAL BEFORE CUTTING. | Four mats (12 x 18) and one centrepiece (18 x'18) cover a round table which is enlarged by replacing the centrepiece with a long runner. A short runner and two mats make places for four, and four mats may be added, seating six. The three sets will take respectively four and three- fourths yards, four and one-fourth yards and four yards, allowing about three-fourths of an inch for each hem and calculating on a 48-inch round and a 64-inch oval table. Allow sev­ eral inches for shrinkage and wash your toweling before cutting. Napkins to match can be made 18 inches square. And lastly, a word for th^ old, scarred Yable-top. The most hopeless table can be done over by removii^g the old! finish, by filling, staining (if necessary) and giving it three coats of varnish; for the last coat use one of the well-known waterproof varie­ ties.

X runner looks well clean waxy surface that can be wiped Nothing is j only when it hangs over straight off after meals. When the common hardwoods are cut, providing this is done in winter, there will grow up from the stump, the following spring, a prolific growth of sprouts. If this is allowed to con­ tinue without some improving when young, the result will be a number of small trees, sometimes as many as eight or ten in a group all from the same root, instead of one or two good-sized, worth-while specimens. "When trees in the woodlot are re­ produced in this way, and when the coppice is three to five years of age, it should be thinned out, leaving not more than three sprouts for the final crop. The trees which respond'^best to this kind of treatment are as fo'lows:— sweet chestnut, basswood, elm, ash, poplar, willow, birch, cherry, hard and soft maple and the oaks. POINTS TO CONSIDER. To obtain good tree growth from coppice after cutting, certain consid-. erations must be given attention. j1. Age of Parent Tree. Coppice*^ from overmature trees will not pro-’ duce strong growth, as the old root system has lost its vigor. • Coppice loses its vigor of growth by following the system too far, the third and i fourth generations becoming weak and decrepit. In many woodlots When improvement of this kind is dwarfed and stunted growth exists completed the trees should be not from the above causes, more than six feet apart. (b) Mixed growth—When an area has been cut over for logs and.cord­ wood there are always a number of small trees left which are too young for any purpose, including seedlings from a few inches in height, to trees the size of a man’s arm in thickness. Some of these are worth-while species including pine, while others are infer- for trees such as poplar, cherry, iron­ wood, etc. If such an area is allowed to grow without any improving it is likely that in a few years most of the trees will consist of specimens of little worth, and a few better hardwoods, while most of the young pine will have been choked out. When such a woodlot is (a) Seedling growth—in one sec­ tion of the woodlot there may be a I prolific growth of one kind of tree which has sprung up in an open space, following a year when that particular species shed an abundance of seed. Such is often the case with maple and pine. When such a stand is between fifteen and twenty-five ! feet in height the trees will begin to , crowd each other for light and space. ! If th-ey are allowed to grow in this : manner they will eventually kill one i another out, but this would be at the . loss of much vitality which could be i put to better growth in a few indi- ividuals by some judicious thinning. Such an area should be improved by thinning out some of the poorer trees much in the same way as a gardener thins his carrots and beets; care be­ ing taken, of course, to, leave the tallest, straightest and healthiest trees. vx VWCJ.W uaixyiiivu in a avxxuuiv-! . ; Western association, seven fed less younS, two or three years after hav- than $30 worth of grain per cow in‘ ^n^ cu^ ^/er> Jt should be frn- the course of a year, and five fed proved by cutting back, the inferior about $60 worth.

Late fall or early win­ ter cutting often allows frost and moisture to loosen the bark. The cop- uice shoots originate beneath .this outer bark, and if it is destroyed there is small «veloping. : 3.

Frequently we I find ..trees in the woodlot with the quite base partly rotted, and such trees are often of coppice origin. I 4. Frequency of Application. As above stated, coppice loses its vigor for reproducing after a few cuttings, therefore when two or three genera­ tions of trees of coppice origin have been taken off it is advisable to en­ deavor to obtain a new growth of trees from seed. Nuts may be dibbled in where favorable spots can be found; or planting may be resorted to, if desired. In any case the should be gradually restocked trees of seedling origin. chance of shoots de- Stump. In cutting obtaining coppice, the It is desirable Coppice which AN ATTRACTIVE NEW FROCK.

Gospel of John, only one woman, nn x ® _i'in„„ Mary of Magdala, is mentioned, on L0^eiinSs- though the presence of another is hinted by the “we” which is used in v. 2. The evangelist, while deeply interested in Peter, is also interested in another disciple, ,not mentioned by name, but described as specially dear to Jesus, and he represents the news of the resurrection as carried by Mary to these two disciples.

The evangelist describes the .eager haste of Peter and the other disciples to reach the grave of Jesus. The unnamed disciple arrives first, and finds the grave empty.
