Material removed in a (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) A cash return for the wood grown on the farm woodlot is just as possi ble as a profit on other farm crops. Farmers often lose sight of this fact, mainly because timber requires only a small amount 6f labor but a long period of years to bring it to a mar ketable condition. Often, therefore, the owner is satisfied with an annual supply of dead firewood, and the wood lot becomes a harboring place for in 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 ers which have grown into the 1?re - should be cut out by severing their main stems near the ground. In the second type of woodlot the trees vary greatly m age and height sect pests and a meager pasturage for and the stand Is largely dominsted roaming live stock. Yet improvement! by old trees, whose tops shut off th^ of the woodlot depends upon just a few simple principles which any farm er may learn and practice. These are contained m a new farmers’ bulletin. No. 711, published by the United States department of agriculture. Improvement of the woodlot begins with the cutting out of all dead and diseased timber. Then the mature merchantable trees should be re moved, like any other farm crop, when conditions favor a sale. New trees should be planted in the open spaces to grow up and fill in the forest can opy and encourage the growth of tall, straight timber. Woodlots may be divided into two classes, each determined by the char acter of the stand. On one type, the trees are a second growth of approxi mately the same age and it is found that undesirable species are crowd ing out valuable trees, the former should be cut to allow the unhampered growth of the better quality tim ber.

The presence of dead or dying trees in the stand, a very dense interlocked sunlight and retard growth of the younger trees beneath. Such a tract should first be cleared of dead and diseased timber. Next, the mature living trees should be removed. This should be delayed, however, until suf ficient reproduction is started in the openings made in the first operation, and 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 off in two or three successive cuttings at intervals of several years, each cutting taking from one-third to one-half the trees. These cuttings allow the remaining trees to receive more sunlight and thus encourage them to produce more seed. Neither of the first two cuttings should be so heavy as to encourage the growth of weeds or grass on th€ forest floor. The third cutting should be made after the seedlings are es tablished and there is no further need 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 wldespreading habit often results In the suppression or killing of the young and better-formed seed lings, which frequently may be ol considerable value. It Is best in such cases to remove the old trees at 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 through the tramplii^ or wounding of the roots and the compacting of the soil so that it is Impervious to water. Horses should be kept out of the woodlot entirely because they often peel the hark from trees and eat the young shoots. When young growth is not desired, a few head of cattle are permissible. To have the pains and aches of a bad back removed—to be entirely free from annoying, dangerous urinary disorders, is enough to make any kidney sufferer grateful. The following advice of one who has suffered will prove comforting words to hundreds of Marion readers. J. M. Clay, Marion, says: “My kid neys were weak and the kidney secre tions were unnatural and irregular in passage. My back and kidneys pained me. I think the trouble was caused by a strain. I was never much of a hand to take medicine, but I procured a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills at Streetman’s Drug Store and began their use. They soon cured me and my back and kidneys have been strong ever since.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t sim- ask for akidi^ey remedy—get Doan’s idney Pills—the same that cured Mr Clay.
