Kern Agricultural Topics. Modern Methods That Are Helpful to Farmer, Fruit Grower and Stockman. The Value-of Wonllanc7. Another thins that can be. done to call a halt, and the most important thing, is to educate the landowners In the proper management, of their woodlands. This is one of the most cogent arguments for State and na tional forests; they will furnish ob ject lessons in forest management. In Mdition. to thi3 educational force, ,Cher efforts ought to bu made. Through our State boards of forestry, where such exist; through our uni versities that have chairs of forestry, through the forest associations, through the press, in every legitimate way, in every open pulpit, we ought to preach the gospel of forestry; for the bulk of the woodlands ofthis country are, and I hope always will be, in the hands of private owners, and these owners must be reached. Upon their attitude towards their woodlands depends In the largest measure the solutiou of our forest problems. There have been those who said that the Americans would not make good soldiers, because they did not obey unless they understood. History has proved that the Ameri cans have made the best of soldiers, because of the very fact that they un derstood, and understanding, they obeyed with a will. In the same way Borne have been skeptical of our abil ity to deal with our forest problems, because the people the common peo ple as they say- own the land and they do not brook interference with their rights't owners. But I believe this same private owner, when the law protects his property from theft, fire and unjust assessment; and when he understands the nature of the problems with which he has to deal, will of his own volition do more to wards their solution than any amount of governmental interference. Make it possible for him to know his duty; r.nd when he understands, he will do his duty. In conclusion: The forestal condi tions which confront us to-day are serious; and they deserve the serious thought of every good citizen. We have sinned and we have begun to suffer. But I have an abiding faith in the sober second thought of the American people. The indications of repentance are at hand; and I believe that before it is everlastingly too late we Americans will repent indeed, and bring forth the fruits meet for re pentance. Alfred Ackerman, Pro fessor of Forestry, University of Geor gia. Heavier Stock Needed. Thoroughbreds and thoroughbred scrub mixtures are entirely too light for ordinary farm work. It is well that more ' Percheron stallions are going into service to give us a heav ier stock. Trotters and running horses are well enough for racing stables, but will not do for the aver Vige farm. It does not cost more to faTsVia Percheron grade colt from an ordinary farm mare than it does to raise a little runt, and the for mer will usually fetch $50 more than the latter. Admitting that Percheron and i Shire grades are profitable to raise, it does not follow that they ara the best all-round farm horses. They are gentle and faithful workers, but bulkey, and their gait is not suited to farm work. The best all-round farm horso is undoubtedly the Ger man coach, sixteen to seventeen hands high, weighing from thirteen to fifteen hundred pounds. They are clean of limb, graceful and quick of action. They are neither trotters, runners nor drafters, but if you have a shapely. mare to breed from, a pair of well matched high-steppers will fetch big money. And for all-round farm work they have no equal. Still, until they are more generally intro duced and appreciated, we welcome the Percherons, Shires, etc., to give us a heavier stock that will pull" a big load and will bring good prices when sold. "What Shall the Harvest Be? Seed time In the poultry yard has come again. The new season i3 here - here with all its possibilities, and the many golden opportunities which it will doubtless offer us all for im provement and advancement in many material ways; and let us hope in many mental, moral and spiritual bet terments and advances. In the poultry yard, however, is right now, and for the next three or four months, the -opportune time for Improvement in the character of the seed we shall sow for reaping the harvest bye and bye. And, in this connection we would not only say it, but would urge all our readers who are interested in poultry to take "ad vancement and improvement" as their motto. Not necessarily advancement in fancy and expensive points and features, but in practical and material worth. We would rather improve the farmer's flock so that it will make Current Events. The West Virginia Legislature had a lively session as a, result -of the mine investigation report. St. Elizabeth's Catholic church, where Father Leo Ileinrichs was mur dered, was reiledicated. Bishop Scannell, of Omaha, Neb., meld that engagements must be in writing, signed by two witnesses, be fore a priest of his diocese can marry a couple. him more dollars and cent?, than to have hint devote a season's . work in the poultry yard to raising a few birds to win a prize or -two at the county fair, or the chicken show; al though we would have him strive for this honor, too, but in a second or supplementary, sense. What we want to do first is to Im prove the laying qualities of our hens and to raise birds for market that will grow fast and mature early. And, in doing this, we can make some good and material progress simply .? proper selection of .our. breeders in the home stock, or by the addition of a rooster of superior merit to head the flock. In the first place, let the cock and the hens be not akin. This is very necessary to quick growth, precociousness and vigor. It is a long step in the way of improvement; then let the hens for breeders be care fully selected. AVe refer now to the hens on the place and not to any im ported stock. Some of the hens are better in a good many points than many others. Pick out the favorites those of known worth and mate them with a selected cock not akin to them. Do not set eggs haphazard, but keep the breeding stock yarded, and by using their eggs only for hatching purposes, thus knowing the quality of the seed sown, and mak ing, sure in advance of something good something in the way of im provement in the harvest of the au tumn when the young stock shall have begun to show their better qual ities. And In the same line, see that some seed of the highest merit shall have been sown, in the way of a set ting or two of pure-bred eggs, and the pleasure of the aftermath the possession of a brood or two of fine young chickens later in-the season, will more than recompense the cost of such valuable seed as this, the planting time. H. B. Geer, in South ern Cultivator. The Troublesome Insects. Point out to, me the man who is positive that there are no insects about his poultry-house, and I will show you a man that in nine cases out of ten is mistaken. Work as you may to rid the house and fowls of these pests and there are most sure to be a few left. In the winter they do not multiply as fast as in the summer weather, but there Is no time when they will not increase if given a chance. A great many poul trymen expend quite large amounts every year for insecticides, and be sides this use every other effort to check the increase and to extermi nate these insects. When the cold weather comes and there are less of them seen about the premises, by a good many, the watchful care is discontinued or partially so. Because they do not seem so plentiful does not mean that they are not ther A good many speak of lice as being the most troublesome with their poultry. Lice on my fowls give mo the least trouble of any. I find they are the easiest to get rid of. It is the little gray or red mite that makes the mischief, for me. They do their work mostly at night when the hens are on the roost by crawling on them and sucking their blood. And when hundreds of them get on one hen they are pretty sure to have a telling effect in a short time. They take the very life out of a fowl. They are very small and work mostly about the vent and under the wing3. As a rule they leave the fowls in the morning and hide during the day between boards, in joints, cracks, etc., waiting for night to come out again. Many, in cleaning the hen-house, give less attention to the roost and nests than any other part. The nest ing material will perhaps be taken otu and replaced with fresh and the droppings be removed, but the nest boxes, and under and all around them, and the perches, should be looked to. Generally the reason why this is not done is because to save labor the perches are nailed to the wall or fixed on a frame and the nests are also nailed tight. I often see nests fastened up strongly enough to support a man.' This Is all wrong. All these fittings should be' made and so put up that they can be easily taken down and pulled to pieces and carried outside for a thorough clean ing, for on these there will be found the majority of the insects. When you have the fittings outside of the building sear them over by holding in a blaze a minute or so. A good insecticide is made of one gallon of kerosene oil and one-half pound of pure naphthaline flakes mixed together. Apply with sprink ling pot or sprayer. There are . a number of good powder preparations which if thoroughly rubbed into the feathers of the fowl will drive off and kill all the body insects. A good dust bath is also very effective for this purpose. Vincent M. Couch, in the Southern Planter. News of the Day.

The greatest drawback to the hog Industry which breeders in-this coun try have to contend with is what is known as "hog cholera" and "swine plague" Hog cholera is a highly contagious disease and unless checked is liable to carry off a great number of hogs in a very short time. Mr. A. P. Williams of Burnetts Creek, Ind., tells of an experience which he had with some hogs that had the cholera. "Five years ago," says Mr. Williams, "I was in the em ploy of Mr. J. D. Richardson, Lafay ette, Ind., as his barn foreman; Some fine hogs that I was feeding took the cholera. I gave them Sloan's Lini ment and did not lose a ho. Some were so bad they would not drink sweet milk and I was compelled to drench them. I have tried It at every opportunity sino and always find it O. K."
