'These large crowned trees interfere with and' often ruin fine young log trees and they are gradually !being taken aut,'The young trees will grow much faster because they have been released from the shade and competition of the large trees. 'Trees should be spaced closely when Small, in order that they will be fored Vo grorw straight and tat, thus developing long boles with little taper. These are very valuable timber trees and give the highest financial returns. Nature is very prolific and often the trees are spated too' closely and the intense competition results in stagnation. A thinning of the young growth results in more vigor- ous growth by the remaining, trees. The material that is removed usual- ly is worth more for fuelwood than the cost of removing it, These thin - Mugs should be continued at intervals in the growing of a stand of stinker as the number of trees per acre is al- ways being reduced as the trees in- crease in size. 'These thinnings give the owner an opportunity to favor the more valuable species. A thinning of the young growth is being carried on in Mr. Westlake's woodlot; most of the ironwood is be- ing taken out as it does not reach timber size, There is - cnsiderable beech in the young growth, and when in competition with sugar nape and white ash, is cut as it is not consid- ered as valuable. Tice few walnuts are given preference over the other spe- cies. The walnuts have been seeded in the bush by squirrels that secured the nuts from a tree in a neighbor's yard, Sound, straight, vigorous trees were given the preference over ones with decay, broken branches, and crooked stems. It is advisable to re- move the large timber before -thinning the young growth as sometimes the small trees are damaged' when the large trees are felled. There is considerable white ash in the young growth and there were only a few white ash seed trees. White ash requires more light for re- production and growth than sugar maple and beech, and if owners wish to secure more white ash in their stands they should make openings in the woods near white ash seed trees, The material that is being taken out is being worked up into fuel - wood. Last winter Ififty cords of 14 in. wood were secured 'from wolf trees and the thinnings in the young growth, which averages 1 to 5 in. in diameter. make excellent fuelwood. Thirty -if -lye to forty cords of .14 in. wood, has been taken out annually for fifteen years and small amounts of timber for a house and fore sale have been cut at different times. Mr, Westlake intends to plant pines and spruces in a few openings that have not seeded up. Very little planting, is necessary in a Woods, A few trees well planted in favorable locations are better than thousands poorly planted •in the thick natural growth. It may he advisable later to cut back the natural young growth that is interfering with the planted trees. A sign has been placed on the road adjacent to the woods stating that it is a demonstration woodlot. A well stocked woodlot is an asset to a farm, and it may he developed into a nicire .valuable financial asset by practising intensive forestry which is, economically possible with a farm- er's woodlot, es all the material that is removed in improvement cuttings has a value for fuelwood. It provides the farmer with a convenient and cheap supply of •fuel. The work is carried on' during the winter when other farm work is not pressing. Mr. Westlake may cut his fuelvtMod and take out a small amount of timber an- nually without depleting his woodlot as the growth on the remaining, trees the next year will equal the volume of wood removed. It will become more valuable' as the weed trees will be gradually eliminated and he re-. placed by the marc valuable timber trees, The 'woodlot will be in a healthy growing condition and the volume of Wood growth will be in- creased as the decayed, aver-matura broken-trapiidd trees will be removed and competition that . stunts trees will be lessened brjudicious T URSD.AY AUGUST 10, 191 • neltOkit110 ..eteVa:14)11j jit MUS41 - , COI..

They had three hundred acres of land. ,The William was a great lover of horses and his jovial personality was conspicuous at most local agricultural fairs. The Olydes- dale breed of horses was his parti- ular hobby, and lie had splendid suc- cess in the show ring. For many Gray 'Bros. had been among the ex- tensive shippers of cattle, mainly for export.

IA few weeks ago The New -s -Rec- ord made :humorous mention of a Clinton citizen's receipt of a letter from a man supposed to be in a prison in {Spain and who wanted as- sistance in getting himself released, for which he would divide a fortune FAIR DATES which he claimed he had invested in America. 'We did not warn anyone against :being taken an by this hoax; as we did not dream but, that such a hoary -headed one would be immed- iately recognized by anyone receiving such a letter, as 'it was by the Clin- ton man. But since that express 'ag- ents have been warned from head- quarters to he on guard to save pat- rons from fraud, as evidently some people have been sending the rascal money. 'That old fraud of the Span- ish soldier has been laughed about for a generation or so and one would suppose everyone would be onto it. But there are some people always ready to, be fooled, it seems. A good way to harden oneself against things of this sort is the reflection that a fortune is not, so easily picked up and that if the man were really in prison, in Spain or elsewhere, if a few dol- lars would get him out and enrich the one who helped, he would not need to send far for such assistance. • The fact of the matter is that; there was nothing' in that letter, and we read 1 carefully, to take anyone in. It was a fraud on the face of it. Don't be credulous dupes. Don't buy stocks, except it be celery stalks, which can be handled and examined; shares or anything of the sort with- out looking into them and consulting someone in whom you have conrfid-. ence and who knows something Miller's Worm +Powders were devis- ed to 'promptly relieve children who suffer from the ravages of worms. is a simple preparation warranted to destroy stomachic and intestinal worms -without shock or injury to the most sensitive system.
