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.
