A Neat Binder for your back numbers

our Business Department
lines suggested. For instance, the
Cleveland Cliffs Iron Co. is beginning
to re-forest a portion of its lands in
the upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Preparations are being made to replant
next spring with pine and hard
woods nearly 15,000 acres of the large
area owned by the Company, and, if
this plantation succeeds, to continue
the work. There is no reason why it
should not succeed, if properly undertaken.
A present undesirable characteristic
of much of Michigan and Minnesota,
as well as other States, is the
vast extent of cut over timber land,
with only stumps to show. This land,
had it been rationally timbered, as
the Forest Service would say, should
now have a vigorous second growth,
but it was cut by men who had no
thought of the future; only the maximum
gain at the time of cutting.
When these forests were cut, timber
was ample; it was simply a question
of filling contracts and getting the logs
down when the water ran. Now lumber
is scarce; in fact, about double
in price what it was when we were
ten years younger. If, in the succeeding
ten years, it should again double,
we would better build the chicken
house of brick or cement. Nevertheless,
wood must always play an important
part in farm work. We cannot
get along without it. The action of
this Company—which owns some
1,000,000 acres of cut-over lands—Is
commendable and, if followed out by
every other timber holder, would materially
ameliorate the impending lumber
famine. It will pay to look into
the profits from timber planting. It
is claimed that it pays now to plant
trees. If lumber doubles in price in
the next decade, those who plant trees
now should have a fairly safe investment.
If our roads were sufficiently improved,
generally, so that the average
load of wheat hauled, which is now,
according to Government statistics,
fifty-five bushels, could be increased
to seventy-five bushels; the saving effected
to the farmer, in hauling our
annual crop from the farm to the railroad,
would be between $6,000,000 and
$8,000,000.

KNOX'S JOKE.
One day last spring Senator Knox
was walking through a corridor of the
Capitol, when he was joined by a
former member of the Senate, Mr.
Chandler, of New Hampshire.
As the two drew near the entrance
to the chamber, Mr. Knox motioned
to his companion to pass in first.
"After you," said Mr. Chandler,
with a polite bow, drawing back.
'Not at all," protested Knox; "the
X's always go before the Y's (wise),
you know."—Harper's Weekly.
