The Herald, 1907-06-21, Page 2THINNING A PLANTATION.
Ririe' IT IMPROVES THE FOREST,
AND WHEN IT SHOULD BE DONE.
The care of a forest tree plantation by
tea moans ends when the trees have been
planted. and have successfully got
through their first two or three years of
e. In a few years the crowns of the
areas touch, and the struggle for life
among the trees begins. If the trees are
allowed to grow straight on without in-
terference, there comes a time when the
uvth comes almost to a standstill.
strength of the tree is taken up with
ethics fight with one another for light, in-
stead of it laying on wood. In order to
toodify this struggle, some of the trees
feenst be taken out.
The ideal state for a forest is that
tY'lta crowns of the trees should just touch
teach other; in this condition they do not
ffaterfere with one another, while on the
Aber hand they shade the ground com-
tektely and preserve its moisture and
event the humus from being broken up.
is theory, of course, thinning should
commence when the crowns of iiia trees
6cgin to interfere with one another, and
Continual tinual thinning should preserve this
condition.
in practice, this is often too expensive,
geed the rule is often given: "Titin as soon
,ata the thinnings taken out will pay for
:1§,o- work of thinning."
Yn all thinning, of course, any trees
what aro dead or decayed should be taken
etre at once. They are of no possible use,
while on the other hand they may fur-
nish a chance for insects or for rot-pro-
atmeing fungi to get into the dead or sick
grew, and thence affect the more thrifty
gees.
Compensation in City Life.
Life in the city is often hard, and who
dews not yearn for the sylvan delis and
the bowing of the ox -eyed kine and to
flick the oxeye daisies? But there are
teem ensations. The farm well is some-
seernes more deadly than the imperfect
anter supply of the city. The stagna-
' gen of a country life is often the cause
eef as much carking care as the activity
that wears and grinds. The country
.lovelier, too, frequently neglects his den -
Vat and physician and the sanitary pre-
cautions which the urbanite must take.
The city dweller is adjusting himself to
kis habitat intelligently and we predict
aka he will survive.—Philadelphia Led-

They Will Learn Yet.
(bhieago Chronicle,)
So far as we know the strictly "ethical"
physician is the only business man who
deems it dlsgaceful to advertise what he
has for sale. He has skill and ,professional
knowledge in stock, but he refuses to 1n -
form the public of the fact. How long
would any other business last if 'It were
conducted on that giiniciple?
To relinquish the advantages of advertis-
ing to the so-called "quacks" is merely to
give •the "quacks" the tremendous 'benefits
derived from judicious publicity.
In his address before the Illinois Medical
society at Rockford Dr. Percy of Galesburg,
the president, recognized the situation. "Wo
must change our attitude toward the public
on the subject of newspaper advertising,"
he said. "The irregulars use the press ;ex-
tensively and they educate the public to the
injury of all real scientific advance. We
must use the same means to forward the
true aims and objects of science." When
his confreres make up their minds to accept
and exemplify his views there will •' a less
talk of "advertising quacks."

Percy, kept from school by a cold, got
so noisy in his play that his mother,
sukfering from a headache, suggested in
despair that he play at being a little
deaf-and-dumb boy.
The idea struck him favorably, but the
new play was noisier than the old.
"I should think," ventured the mother,
"that a little (leaf -and -dumb boy would
not make any noise."
"Oh, but he would!" said Percy. "You
see, he couldn't hear it."
His mother sighed.
"Dear mother!" his voice broke in on
her musings presently, . "if the noise
bothers you, why don't you play at being
a little deaf-and-dumb boy yourself ?"

Bruin Put Up Desperate Struggle ' on
Edge of a Precipice.
"Never in my life did 1 have; such a
thrilling adventure with a bear as I had
last Friday about thirty miles northwest
of Ceballa, in Gunnison county. It was
a hot fight."
This ryas the way G. Gordon Pickett
started` ,his story of the biggest bear
fight of the season, He. and Harry Car-
penter,,:With J. JeCarpenter's fine string
of bear.: dogs, eight in number, tLatarted
out last Friday afternoon, from Oeballa.
"The dogs jumped a good sized black
bear along about 3 o'clock,' said Mr.
Pickett. "We followed him something
like three; miles and tookalongehot,at
him, wounding him in the right fo' eieg.
We lost;, sight of him for a while and.
then the dogs got hest to hila again.
This, time they had him cornered an 'the
edge of a big bluff, at least 100 feet high.
"It seems that the wound I had given
tum made`, the bear crazy mad. He nailed
bwo of the dogs, one after the other,
and crnnehcd their n.eeks like go many
soda, crackers. He jumped down into a
cleft of reek, where there was a little
platform about twelve feat square, and
beyond that, the precipice. as
"The clogs went -after hies and lid went
after them good and proper. 171e 'had al-
ready killed 'two, and it looked as if he
was going to' finish the entire pack. To
save the lives of the dogs I jumped down
to the little bench, but not until he had
lunged at one of the best dogs and cuffed
!Sim clear over the cliff.
"Of course that finished that dog, and
the bear turned. He wasn't five feet
from me when I tore the top of his head
off with a quick Shot from my rifle. He
didn't exactly have me 'buffaloed,' but
I think I never in all my twenty-five
years' hunting experience came so near
being seriously rattled. The dogs killed.
were among the.bbeet fighters in the pack.
