FARM WOODLAND CAN BE HlApE PROFITABLE Erroneous for Farmers to Sav Up Choice Timber. Many Valuable Logs Qo Into Croea Tie When They Would Bring Much Mor Money If Sold as Saw Loga Other Hints. It Is n mistake to saw np cholca logs of white oak. ash, cherry and yel low poplar for rough ases at borne or to use clear black walaut for gate boards or split ap white oak butts for fence posts. This fact Is emphasized in many ways In a new publication, "Forestry and the Farm Income,- Is sued hy the forest service, United States department of agriculture. Farmers are told that many valuable logs go Into cross ties when they would bring the owner much more If sold as saw logs. Likewise, large numbers of rapid growing trees are cut which produce only one small tie, whereas. If left to grow for from three to five years, they would yield more than double the profit. To avoid making Farmers Should Familiarize T7em selvea With Use for Which Timber la Adapted. such mistakes, owners of farm wood land should familiarize themselves with the uses for which each kind of limber is 1-est adapted. Timber that is cut In the late spring and summer months should be handled with special care to avoid Injury, be cause freshly cut wood is then more likely to be attacked by insects and fungi than during the colder months. Seasoning proceeds more rapidly dur ing the warmer season and may cause excessive checking, which is not benefi cial to the timber. If rightly handled, posts, poles and logs may be cut at any season without their durability being affected. In no cnse-ihould wood be allowed to lie in direct contact with the ground. The opportunity for in sect attack and decay can be reduces to a minimum by peeling the timbers and open-piling them off the ground in a shaded but dry place. This, how ever, does not retard checking of the wood. Logs are sometimes stored under water, in the hot season, to prevent blue stain, checking, insect attack, and decay. Painting the ends of logs with a yellow ochre or barn paint will very materially retard Injury by- end check ing. Painting peeled timbers with creosote will prevent sap stain and decay. NEW SEEDINGS FOR PASTURE Sheep Better Suited for Grazing Than Horses or Cattle Rye Favored for Fall Pasture. New seedlngs of clover and timothy should be pastured lightly. Sheep are better suited for this purpose than horses and cattle, but care must be used to prevent them grazing the new meadows too closely. Stalk fields, from which the corn and stover have been removed, furnish considerable feed In the form of grasses, weeds and an occasional stalk and ear of corn. It is well to allow the stock to clean tip this feed that would otherwise go to waste. In order to provide more good fall grazing It is a good plan to sow rye at the last working of the corn crop.
