- : . THE REPLANTING OF FOREST s

t " ; .; (New York Tribune Farmer.) The removal of original, or first return, and on lands where location growth timber, from lands that have' and climate are favorable some trees

been 'bought on a valuation of. what the timber nlojie 'was 'worthy has left extensive areas of land Jtbat have now merely a nominal value. This condition of things will continue until such time as new uses arise for a profitable disposition of the second growth, which, to judge from the character of this second growth, may be a long time in coming. Most of the second growth on the lands cleared , of the original forests of spruce, pine and hemlock consists of birch, poplar, cherry, maple, Aacer rubrum called "soft" maple by many lumbermen) and numerous small growing species of trees and shrubs. None of this second growth has now much value, and its prospective value does not . seem encouraging for investment. 1 Present owners can not find purchasers for such lands at satisfactory prices, therefore hold them, confronted, however, with the perennial question as to what shall be done to make this land profitable. The old forest lands may be replanted to species of trees of high commereial value,(like spruce and pine, but it necessarily involves considerable present outlay, carp for a series of years, and 'the ultimate income will be delayed many years. How much profit would be derived from such , A 1 . ' ' which may bo under control and some subject to natural conditions, like fire, drougth and damaging storms. To prepare an area that is covered with a thick second growth for replanting will require considerable labor, no part of the cost of .which would be. immediately available. Much of this growth is dense and upward of forty feet high. In clearing it, however, everything may not be removed. Species of trees having prospective value should be left standing to grow better, and their shade will bo a benefit for some years to the young evergreens and other trees. Five or more per cent, of many large areas have no second growth, and could be planted at little cost for preparation, but the character of such sections should be considered and the reason for their present nudity understood. Young trees might not thrive in them if they were too wet or ttoo dry, or if the soil is too poor or impregnated with salts or other matter unfavorable to plant life, r The planting of a forest on prairie lands, where a mowing machine and a breaking plough are the only tools needed to prepare the land for planting seedlings, is a simple proposition, and, one on which estimates of profit can be computed. Young forests have been grown ! profitably on lands not previously h". W. Many rapid growing species oi trees afford a comparatively quick

Graham v Crackers So different from the ordinary Graham Crackers different ia baking different in flavor different in packing. More palatable more satisfying more nutritious. Made of the purest Graham flour and baked in a manner that only the National Biscuit Company knows. soon grow large enough to cut for railroad ties, posts and other light timbers. Mush has. been done of value under the head of practical forestry for many years past, and the work has shown good results in some particulars, especially in approved methods of removing useless dead and diseased trees and undergrowth and by judicious thinning. The question ' of reforesting sections similar to the Adirondacks, where first the valuable timber was rehnoved and immediately thereaftetr the demand for pulp wood called for nearly all that was left, down to four inches in diameter, excluding certain "hard" woods, is one difficult to solve, owing to the abundant second growth of so little apparent value and worse, for most of it is in the way an obstacle to immediate replantin There is, furthermore, another matter to consider at the outset of any plan for reforesting, one which may be regarded of paramount importance, nd that is the question of adaptability of the soil and location to the particular species of trees to) be'' grown. It is not wholly meant by this this the question of raising semi-hardy trees in the latitude or elevation of a proposed place of planting, neither is meant the wholly experimental plan of testing the. fit ness of a European species in a new environment nor the idea -of an untried species from a remote portion of our own State or country. Reference is, however, made to growing, or attempting to grow, a crop of trees of the same species as grew on the identical land in absolutely natural conditions, and which was removed, as by cutting off the primitive forest. Specifically, the question is, "Can a second growth or crop of spruce be satisfactorily grown on land from which a heavy forest of mature spruce trees has been cut?" Unfortunately, this question has few, if any,, satisfactory answers in all that is found written on forest restoration, and the life of a generation is too short to prove precedents of value from living men. Having none that can tell whether pine can succeed pine, hemlock succeed hemlock or oak succeed oak, in this question of replanting or reforesting, yet from horticulturist's ex perience we have much reason to believe that it cannot be successfully or profitably .done. Analagous to the suggestion, and in support of f! e idea that-a second attempt to ithabilitate a given species on the same location might fail, we have expen ences in every day farming, orehard ing, nursery- work and gardening, o prove that rotation of crops is es sential.. To raise the same crop on the same land in successive years is fatal to a yield, unless artificial and

- "8 a

specific fertilizer is used in sufficient

quantitp to keep up" the fertility , or, m other words, to supply chemical or other deficiency drawn from the soil by the removal of crops. In economic forestrv we must of necessity depend on natural condiions, for, at the present time, who can, tell just what the primitive forest has taken from the" lands on which it stood or what should be supplied to restore it to a fertility or strength required to produce a second crop If, therefore, we depend on natural conditions to help the growth of a second crop of forest trees, rotation is 'suggested by the observable fact that wherever a certain species of tree has been removed from an area, the natural result is that other species grow. , Oaks are followed by pines, evergreens by deciduous species, etc. : Orchardists who lose a large apple tree in their mature orchards know herter than n nlnnr, a vnnnr apple tree in the same place, for it rarely reaches bearing age; there fore, peaches, plums or cherries are used for fillers in apple orchards. Pit fruits after seed fruits, seed fruits after pit fruits give the desir ed rotation. The extensive mvrsey men of the country, who produce a crop of fifteen thousand apple or pear trees an acre in five years, never try a second crop of the same without a long rest or ( proper fertilizing, and as both are expensive a rotation of crops is practiced. Gardeners who are the most successful use abundant fertilizer, of course, and the rotation of crops is one of their secrets. This- idea of a pit producing fruit following a seed producing fruit and, vice -versa, in a plan for rotation in planting crops, is undoubtedly very crude and primitive, thought a successful one in practice. Underlying it all, it would seem that there are reasons not yet fully scientifically demonstrated. I believe that even a closer distinction than 'pit after seed" and "sed after pit," may become practicable in rotation of crops. I have seen many suggestions in my horticultural experience to confirm the idea. A single illustration will now suffice On two acres of land thirty scatering apple trees seventy years old were dug out, and the land was ditched and planted to nursery trees of many different species and varieties of species. In four years' growth all of the nursery trees should have been mature. All of the elm5?, ash (fraxinus), maples, horse chestnuts, etc., were from eight to twelve feet high. The quince, Crataegus, mountain, ash, apple, etc., weri of good normal height and size, except in those portions of the rows that stood over the former location of the old orchard trees. In these spots I had Crataegus twelve inches high that should have been five feet; mountain ash ten inches that should have been ten feet, as they were away from the exhausted soil directly where the old apple trees came out. It will . be seen that all the trees that did poorly were the rosacae, and that the apple is of that class. May we not, therefore, conclude that Linnaeus, in giving us a botanical classification for plants, also gave us a keynote on the subject of rotation of crops'? The use of wood for pulp, which las been so extensive within the last score of years, is the prime cause for removing from forest lands nearly everything of value from them. The minimum size of pulp wood is four inches in diameter. Lumbermen say that it is not profitable to cut trees that make less than three four-foot lengths; therefore, we must have sticks twelve feet long. The number of years it would take to raise trees of such dimensions, of course, depends on the species planted and also on the degree of success attained. Data for estimates are not abundant. I have seen Norway spruce grown about 5 by 7 feet that would all cut twelve foot sticks four inches at the small end, in twentyfive years, 'equal to about twenty cords of four-foot - pulp wood per acre. White pine, black spruce and hemlock would -not grow so fast. Carolina poplar, catalpa and white ash would grow quicker, with Caroli na polar a leader. These estimates are based on very favorable conditions, more favorable than I would plantings in the xdirondacks and similar regions. Spruce is the wood par excellence for paper pulp under present methods of manufacture. Dealers permit a mixture of about 10 per cent hemlock or poplar. Aspen poplars grow naturally in the North "Woods. , The Caro'rn should thrive there, but I know of no place where it has been introduced ; neither have I learned if the lattrr is suitable for pulp. Such facts as I have, however, suggest it is a better variety for reforesting exI peri ments than the native variety. The Norway spruce is undoubtedly

Poplars can be grown from cuttings in nursery rows in one yeear suitable for planting, catalpas from seed in one year, while spruces, pines and European larch must grow in seed beds two years and should be grown a year or more in nursery rows before planting. Hemlocks and white cedar can be collected and transplanted. Persons not familiar with seedlling growing can learn much from the experiments" of the United States Department of Agri culture and of the Cornell University now going on in the Adirondacks. Others might , think it cheaper, and better to buy imported , three and four year seedlings of evergreens and purchase one or two year seedlings of deciduous trees from growers in favored portions of the West. If wa have made clear the point that rotation is important in reforesting, ther is the further suggestion of the necessity of choosing the right site for planting certain species of trees. Here again we must decide by observing what nature did . in placing in one locality a growth of pines, in another a forest of spruce, etc. Similar locations arid soil ought to favor the growth of like species, and such as have done well on low or moist land may be planted there and not elsewhere.

Nw Vfc Women as Well as Hen Are Blade Miserable by Kidnsy and Bladder Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor ana cheerfulness soon disappear when the kidneys are out of order or diseased. ,. Kidney trouble lias become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kidneys. Jf the child urinates toooften, if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it, the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and , not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miserable with kidney and bladder trouble," and both need the same great remedy. TVi. milrl anrl tli" immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold cured. In writing Dr. Kilmer & Co., Einghamton, N. Y., be sure and mention this paper. Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the address, Einghamton, N.
